Hey ladies,
I'm not sure if you have been introduced to the website Fertility Friend or not, but it is a fab web site for TTCers who are just starting charting. It gives wonderful info about OV, CM and lots of ttc related stuff. I highly suggest checking it out!
Hi Girls, I am over here now, want to stay with you girls until you get the BFP's but not sure if I should be. The nurses told me to wait for 2 cycles before trying, just to give my lining chance build up etc. Also not sure what the cycles will be like, I am pretty regular, so hoping will get back to norm asap. I should be due my 2 cycles in Dec though if i go back to normal days. Will see how I am after 1st cycle. Also me and OH have said laid back approach to this especially WHEN i do get the next BFP. Going to tip toe lightly on this one.
KittyKat~ Have you had a MC?
Welcome Premont!!! i find the temp thing a little confusing, being only on my 2nd cycle (and last one as i and the rest of us will get our Tinsel Tot!!! PMA PMA PMA!!!heheee) i haven't charted temps before just CM, may start charting tomorrow as have the right thermometer now (i think??) what am i looking for? i'm guessing peaks in temp?
Rogue~ FF will really help explain what to look for for OV. With Temping, you only know you've ov'd AFTER it's happened. You will see a dip, and then a consistant rise for 3 or more days in your temps. So it's good to do to see how regular you are with OV, find out your LP length, and make sure your progesterone levels are where they should be after OV.
I charted for many cycles, so I know I usually OV between CD10-14 and have a LP of about 13 days. Though I do have a good rise in my temps, my lp was seeming to get shorter as I started spotting about 5 days before AF was due. So I got put on progesterone. Hopefully it will work!
