Fairy-To be honest, I don't know what happenned with my temps, the pre o ones were really all over the place. I think my chart was screwy because of Christmas/New Years and being on holidays, but I really think that what sorted my temp out was implantation. I started spotting @7dpo which is normal for me, so I think AF was on her way when somehow my bean put a stop to it and turned everything around. Are you trying anything new this cycle? Good luck in the run up to O!
Foxy-Since you first mentioned the soy, I looked into it a bit and found that it had very variable results. I think it's best that you leave it, the lube will probably work out better for you.
Shannon-Thanks! I was so happy to see that there was actually something in there, even if it is just a smudge! I'm checking out your chart, and even though you had some fertility signs your temps are not indicating that you ovulated yet. I think it's still coming, and I think FF is going to have problems because your last cycle was so atypical. I would keep bding, maybe every 2nd night if it's killing DH, but don't stop yet I think O is still coming!
Nicole-I think FF could be right, but I think CD27 could also be convincing since temps go way up after that and it's the last day of EWCM. Not sure what to tell you about the OPKs, I only ever used them one cycle. Either way, it looks like o passed and you're in the 2ww so you can relax a little, although keep having fun! I'm so jealous, I haven't let DH touch me since I found out I was pregnant because I'm scared to death of the spotting I've had throughout. Glad to see someone's still having a great time in bed!
Marissa-I am just over 7 weeks and I'm still temping. I know everyone says to stop but I can't, and I find it very reassuring to see my temp is still up every day. I am a math teacher though, so maybe I just get off on data, I don't know
. That being said though, being a teacher my biggest fear is honestly to start miscarrying in class, I don't know if it's a gush of blood or whether it starts slow but part of me temping is so that *IF* something were about to happen that day I could call in sick or at least come in prepared. But it is up to the individual and most girls don't want the headache. I've seen some girls stop completely, and others even just do it once a week or so. Do what you feel comfortable with. Oh, and as for symptoms, that's all I had early on, infact, that's all I still have, tender boobs and some cramps, oh yeah, and I'm sleeping like a champ! Try not to let it worry you.
Peace-There isn't always a spike during o, or even after o for that matter. I know my temps tend to take their time to get up there. I don't know about paracetomol, I've never used it, but you should keep bding for another couple of days to be on the safe side and hopefully o will be confirmed.
Bernina-So glad to hear that you are alright. You seem to be bleeding a lot though, is that from the surgery? I guess this cycle is a bust for you, but can't wait until your next one now that you're all fixed up! Hope the heart burn goes away soon!
Pichi-Not sure what's up with the spotting and cramping. Maybe you should go in to the dr and have it checked out if it is a concern? Glad to hear it's let up though!
Moochacha-Glad to hear that everything is going well and the spotting has stopped. I so have my fx'd that this is a sticky one for you. Good luck with the bloods, let us know how it all goes!
