Hi ladies. My Temp is still staying WELL above coverline but still no BFP (at least I don`t think) on an HPT. I did however have just a tiny bit of pink tinging when I went pee this morning and wiped.

I wonder if that could be an IB?

Am keepingan eye on your chart - good luck hun :thumbup:
 
Ladies, Ive got a strange OPK question...

You know how on an OPK you have your thick band control line and then your test band? Yesterday the first bit of the test band was as dark as the control band but then it kind of thinned out across the band. Ive put that as positive, would you agree? I havent got a positive on an OPK for months now and its beginning to do my head in! I want to have ov'd last night as I was getting really strong ov pains about 7pm but Im not sure as my temp hasnt gone up by all that much. I took my temp twice this morning, once I woke up, spoke to dh (a few words) then took my temp and it was 36.45, so I settled down, rested and tried to sleep, waited til I thought my mouth was back to that warm dry feeling you have when you wake up and retook it and it was 36.56. Ive used the second temp, feel like I have no clue as I slept in a hotel Friday night and a different one Saturday night then my own bed last night so I dont feel like I can trust my temps. Now I dont know if I should keep BDing or not? Any thoughts please?

I would keep bding just in case.. but as long as at least 50% of the test line was as dark as the control line then it was pos honey..
 
No, less than 50% but just done today's OPK and the line is hardly visible so I guess it has to be yesterday.
 
Welcome Mrs England :hugs: Obviously there isn't much on your chart atm but after a couple of weeks you should have a lot more to read on there. It is a bit confusing at first but we were all there once you are on the right thread as there are a lot of very knowledgable people on here - I found it a massive help when I first started charting.

Thanks :)
Definately feel like i'm on the right thread although i have to say i do feel slightly baffled by it all haha!
Am i right in thinking that your temp dips at ovulation?
 
As for me I'm in the middle of crocheting my second of 2 booties and setting up my etsy shop!

Oooh! Please send me your shop link - I'd love to check them out! I've crocheted some booties myself but just found two really sweet knitting patterns for booties that I am trying out.

Have any of you ladies ever seen an ID as late as 12DPO? I'm not putting much stock in my dip as my allergies may have made me sleep with my mouth open that night.

Foxy and Fifi - I hope your appointments went well!

Hi Ladies

Back from the doctors appointment.

Went ok I guess is the best way to describe it.

First thing she said was ' you kbow you're overweight right?' Almost replied with 'really? There I was thinking I'm a skinny minny!'

Anyway she banged on about weight being the major problem, but did ask for details of my cycle etc. She ruled out thyroid issues saying that weight gain isn't associated with that and wasn't really interested in discussing it further.

My notes haven't arrived feom my previous gp yet, so she said to wait for them then make another appointment to discuss blood results.

She said that if bloods are all ok, then I can be referred to the fertility clinic to see if my tubes are blocked.

Other than the weight, she said that it has been a long time to not get pregnant even though I'm ovulating.

OH will also have to do a SA :haha: he's not impressed!

So, will wait till end of the month before making next appointment.

In the meantime, OH and I are on a major diet and health kick! Lol
 
Sounds promising Foxy, hopefully your doctor can get you referred. I have an underactive thyroid and weight gain is one of the main symptons for it if its untreated so I don't understand why she said it wasn't!

Sweetmama them booties are lovely!

AFM 4dpo today and have been having a few twinges that Ive never had before after OV so hope this is a good sign

Thank you Jaimie. I believe you can get an ID from 6dpo to 12dpo.

I was so nervous my blood pressure was way higher than it should be. Had that checked, height and weight measured first, both DH and I are just under 30 BMI which would be great if we needed IVF. But we saw the consultant and because we can get pregnant she isn't going to see us again, instead we are being referred to the recurrent m/c team. Had recurrent m/c bloods done today though.
Disappointed to be honest, FS had seen me before but didn't have any of those notes and was distracted by having a student with her. At least we are being referred to someone who might be able to help, one of the things she said was perhaps we have just been unlucky and we're clearly very fertile. Doesn't make me feel any better though!

This is my concern. I am overweight I know I am but no matter what I try and do I simply can't seem to lose weight :( I've always had problems with my weight - the only time I have been a healthy weight was when I was stupidly surviving on just an orange and a yoghurt day when I was about 16, luckily I realised that wasn't good for me before it really got out of control.

I have started trying to eat more healthily and decided to go for a swim this evening. Am going to really try and put some effort into it now - any loss is better than none at the end of the say I suppose.
 
Foxy like I said before honey..i'm glad they are gonna help :hugs:
 
Foxy - Glad your appointment went ok.

Fifi - Sorry your appointment was a bit disappointing
 
Glad to hear about your appointments Foxy and Fifi ~

Foxy - my DH got his SA results today. He has low motility (only 40% and the reference range is 49% or higher being normal). His doc suggested that he drink more water and take vitamins. We are going to recheck it in a couple of months. Be sure your OH abstains for 3 days before giving his sample - my DH's doc forgot to tell him that! Have you already had your bloods taken and you are just waiting on the results? I hope they are normal and that you are referred to a fertility specialist that has more constructive advice than just losing weight.

Fifi - I'm sorry you were disappointed. I really hope the recurrent m/c team is more helpful.
 
Hi all.

I'm super behind with posts, was in Chicago most of last week and not much time spent on the computer the last few days. Have been outside planting and getting the yard in order.

Foxy, glad you had your appointment, but sorry that she dwelled so much on weight. On a positive note, DH will get his swimmers checked out which is always something smart to rule out. I know it's a drag for him, but totally worth it. And either your blood come back all good and you get referred to a fs, or they discover an issue and then at least you can start to try to correct it. Either way you're on the path to figuring out why you're not getting pregnant.

Fifi, sorry the appt was a bit disappointing but luckily you are going to be referred where you need to be. It could just be bad luck, I had a friend who had 2 miscarriages and then a perfectly healthy 3rd pregnancy and I've heard of many others. In fact I hope to be one of those stories myself if I can ever get another BFP! And also getting the bloods done is great, you're that much closer to detecting a problem if there is one. Do you know the blood tests they ordered? Always like to see what people are being checked for, especially since this subject is relevant for me.

Nicole, I hope O is happening for you soon. By the looks of your chart today could very well be the day. Now go and hit that eggie hard!!!

No real update for me. Had some very strong sensations/tugging in my abdomen last week, some were so strong that they kept me up at night and also my uterus felt so full that when I walked it literally hurt, almost like AF cramps. I admit I totally got excited as I felt these things with my first preg. Unfortunately those symptoms are gone, no tender boobs, and a negative early preg test yesterday. I know I'm not out until the witch shows, but I'm just not feeling like this cycle is the one. Was really hoping for a 2010 baby, but who wants to deal with Christmas birthdays anyways (trying to find the positive side of things!) :)

I know I've missed lots of news and updates and I'm sorry. Just not enough time in the day lately!!

Baby dust and sticky glue as needed!!
 
Thanks for your responses ladies

I had CD21 bloods done back in October and when I rang for the results, the Receptionist said they were 'ok'. That's all I know.

So new GP said wait for my notes to arrive and book appointment to discuss. I'm guessing as they are 'ok', then fertility clinic is the next step.

:D

I wasn't told what the blood tests were but I had a look at the tubes and they all seemed to be clotting ones and a serum one. There were 6 vials taken, although it took three attempts as my veins aren't generous. I know what you are saying is true I have just been really hormonal recently.
Hope you are enjoying gardening, it's great to get outdoors again!
