Hi everyone,

I shouldn't technically be here as we're WTT right now, but I wanted to start charting so I know by June when's the best date to conceive...I registered on fertility friend and am totally bamboozled! Firstly my period is all out of sync for some reason - my last one started on 7th Jan and lasted for about 3 days...I haven't had one since! I did get really ill a couple weeks ago (vomiting and nausea), so maybe my body is all off balance right now. So according to fertility friend, I am on day 43 of my cycle (?!) - my temp has been rising the past couple of days and I have watery CM and a sore back...does this mean I'm ovulating or does it mean my period is going to come in the next couple days?

I'm so confused; if anyone can give me some advice I'd be really grateful!

You guys probably know a lot more than me about this kind of stuff

Thanks in advance! x x x

Unless you know what your per O temps are its hard to say rather you've Od yet or not or rather you are about to!..That being said you could be about to O or about to start af because some ladies get ewcm or watery cm both with about to O and when they are about to start af!

Thanks Nicole! This is very confusing stuff isn't it?! I hope AF comes soon, I need to start having regular cycles

Baby Love, could we have a peak at your chart? You can do this my getting the address from the homepage setup page found via the sharing tab on the left.
There is the possibility the illness has caused an annovulatory cycle, or you are having a carzy long one. O is normally determined by a sustained temp rise.

Hi lovely ladies,

I had a temp drop this morning, felt like crap, was in a HORRIBLE mood and wanted to get drunk (lol). So I half-heartedly took a test so I'd know if I was "safe" or not..I'm 2 days away from AF. Lo-and-behold that beautiful 2nd pink line showed up in about 45 seconds.

I'm scared to death. Needless to say, my mood is much better lol.

Will still be hanging around here..as I just don't believe it yet. My temps are so...normal!

Anyway, just wanted to say thanks to everyone that has helped me..I only hope I can help someone as much as you guys have helped me. Tons and tons of baby dust to you wonderful ladies!!

I'm so freaking happy for you!!

ablackater..gl hon.

nicoleb..did your chart show the rises when you got prenant? I know some girls O early. On cd 6 I was still bleeding and had some cm which to me was wet. Almost ewcm. I have had preggo symptoms on and oof. Ugh

No my temp shifted up after I ovulated (all tho my morning bbts were kinda high before O if I remove the pos opks from the 4th and 5th ff has my O date as cd 25..again I dont think so because of the low day time body temps)...unless I'm misunderstanding what your asking?

after your MC. My doc told me it takes up to 3 months for the hormones to get better.

OH OK I'm sorry..my temps went back to normal pretty fast..they stayed high until cd 11 and by cd 12 were down to 97.2 I Od on cd 19 and got my bfp for Gregory on cd 28..my OB told me it could take a month or a few for my body to get back to normal..but I was very lucky it went back really fast.

Mine are overall higher than last month. So I am guessing that mine are still high due to hormones. I was just wondering if there is a chance of being preggo without the high temps cause that is all I missing..

Estrogen is what keeps you temps low (or even high than nor sometimes) progesterone with what rises it (and if your temps are higher than norm one month then you post O temps would be even higher!) you bbt may not go back to what it was before it may be overall just higher now! looking at your chart your temps havent really gone up all that much..sometimes or bodies just change before my pre O temps were between 97.0 to around 97.4 and after O was only as high as about 98.2 now per O they were 97 to as high as (if I really did O on feb 5th as 98.1..if I Od on the 31st they were as high as 97.7) and my per O temps have been 98.7 and right now ranging at 98.4..

I don't know if this has worked; let me know if you can make sense of it! x

My Ovulation Chart

 

[bernina]

Congratulations PeaceLoveBaby!!!!

I am SO happy to see another BFP from our charting newbie thread!!!

Continued sticky glue to you and your little bean. Can't wait to see your first scan!!

Welcome to the newbies. im confused, as soon as you update your chart link we'll take a peak and see if we can answer some of your questions.

My Ovulation Chart

Yes it worked. It is a bit early to tell as only a handful of temps on there. See what happens over the next few days.

Thanks, fairygirl. I only started charting very recently, so there will be a lot more detail to it over the next little while

Glad I could give you a laugh foxy!

Yeah, I am looking forward to the 12 week scan, it might actually look like more than a smudge by then! Fish&Chips is having hers this week, I think, hopefully she'll post a pic in here....Do you hear that Fish&Chips?!

BabyHopes-I agree with foxy, it's too soon to tell unless your LP is normally only around 8 days, which it probably isn't so don't start feeling down yet. Until you get fully blown AF, you're still in the game for this month!

BabyLove-It's so smart that you strated charting before trying. In hindsight I wish I had done that so I would know what was up before trying with my "orientation" cycles. You'll be an old pro by the time you start TTC. I agree with the others, you don't really have too much info on your chart yet, and we will likely have to wait until next cycle to see anything, though it's entirely possible you may not have o'd yet. If you put your chart in your signature we will watch it for you and offer up advice as we get it. Good luck with the charting!

Thanks for that, and congrats on your pregnancy I'll put a link to my chart on my signature so you can let me know what you think when there's more info on it! I've got a funny feeling I have just ovulated (rise in temp and high, closed cervix) - so I'm hoping AF comes in a few days x x x

 

[4everhopefull]

please would it be possible for sombody to watch my chart aswell? i know i sound so stupid, but im dyslexic and numbers are the bain of my life arrrgh. but ingeniously by hubby is teaching me about the overall shape of a chart if that makes any sense? so im seeing how the shapes may be rather than the numbers??? ohh its hard to explain lol.

CONGRATZ!!!!!! on all of the beautifull pregnancys going on....maybe this is a lucky thread lol.
well i spent ages on the web...got so excited to find some poas's and proudly announced they are 10 ul..??? , well cut a long story short they were pregnancy tests lmao !!! soooo i may have been a bit premature lol.

[pichi]

Morning girls.
Look who got another high temp this morning

 

[4everhopefull]

i fink i see it!!!!!! woohoo!!!!!! go you !!!!

 

[foxyloxy28]

Goooooo pichi

Bit annoyed with myself this morning! Woke up an hour early and decided to temp. 98.04 which I have used on my chart. Stuck thermo in mouth - took it out - rolled over and went back to sleep for another 1hr & 15 mins - only opened one eye! haha.

I was very naughty and temped again at normal temping time of 07:15. 98.20. Ummed and arghed about whether to use the higher one and decided to follow my own advice of use the first one! lol

Hope everyone is well this morning.

 

[fairygirl]

Pichi,
Foxy, don't worry both temps keep you in a nice high place.

Right apologies in advance, I have to babble about mine (cut and pasted from my journal )
I'm pretty sure I have O'd, I got a ridiculousy high temp (36.70) this morning, but think it was a fluke as maybe my sleep was a bit too disrupted (woke up a couple of times to look at the time on my phone, then DF got up). I took my temp after another 3 and a half hours sleep and it was only 0.06 higher at 36.76. Now when I took it at the later time yesterday it was 36.83 so somewhere along the line my temping efforts have gone wrong. I'm gonna put the later one in an adjuster and see what it says (around the same low as yesterday). So either yesterday's was wrong, or today's was, expecting a drop tomorrow, whether it be a 4dpo drop or you have only just ovulated and it's not that high drop. Should I put in that I am sleep deprived? I'll leave it til I see tomorrow's I guess. Anyways when I change the tuning method to Research or FAM I get CD18 as my O day, whereas on Advanced I need at least another 2 high temps to get a CD20 O. Maybe I should split the difference and think of it as CD19 which it is with the Monitor setting.

Sorry it is a babble and more of a talk myself round post. Would appreciate opinions though.

Hi Ladies, sorry to jump in, I could really use some advice and Aaisirie isnt online yet!

Im not sleeping very well (bizarrely my sleeping has gotten worse post my suspected ov day of Sunday), Im not getting up but im waking up a lot, I reckon it might be not far off hourly! I know yesterday morning I woke up thinking my alarm was about to go off and took my temp and it was actually 3am (it was 36.40)! I certainly woke up a few more times and eventually my alarm went off and I took my temp (it was 36.68). Same happened last night, I woke up a few times between 3am and my alarm time (alarm time is 6.30). My temp was 36.69, now FF has moved my OV date from 14th to 16th, taking me from 5dpo to 3dpo, but on 16th I had sticky cm so no way I was ovulating right? Only other thing of note is when my CP was checked last night (I get him to do it, he knows what he's doing more ) he said it was high, so high he couldnt actually reach it to tell if it was open or soft etc, he has never said that before, though it was about an hour and a half later than normal checking time. If you look at my chart you can see we haven't BD'd since Monday so now im worried we have ballsed it up. Nevermind the fact im ow further from testing than I was!

I'd appreciate any advice you have ladies x

Morning ladies

Pichi - great temp rise!

Mine has stayed the same again which is good. I'll know tomorrow if AF arrives as that's when she should show her face. I'm having the usual dull aches just before she's due so not holding out much hope. It's weird that my temps are still fairly high though - I thought they'd have dropped by now....

Hope you are all ok today xx

 

[fairygirl]

Helly, I do that, the only thing you can do with FF is mark today's temp from the normal time as sleep deprived. As for your O, I don't get on with FF over O dates (as you can see from my post above) I can see why it says CD16 due to where your coverline now is. Strange that your cervix has disappeared coz it definately looks like you've O'd.
