WTT with a view to TTC in Sept/Oct/Nov - looking for a TTC buddy!

presh positive vibes!!

ladies does my chart look like the beginning of a triphasic pattern?!?! eeeek!

I wouldn't even have a clue what a triphasic pattern was or what it looks like!!:dohh:

I've taken the plunge and ordered a BBT thermometer and 20 OPK's (plus a 10pack of early HPT's) from SME Fertility. I use FF only to map out when my period starts and ends, so I've decided I'm going to try and chart properly. I look at other peoples and don't have a clue what any of it means, but I'll have a go anyway!! Might at least shed some light on if/when I'm ov'ing! Do you think it would matter if I started temping mid way through a cycle, or should I wait until CD1 of next cycle? Going by previous lengths I should be at least 10 days off OV anyway, so should get a few 'normal' temps in for it to base it on before any dips or rises shouldn't I? I don't know how it works.....
 
I think they generally say cd1 but if your quite far away from ovulation shouldn't matter too much x
 
yes with temping its best to start cd1 til the first day of your new cycle to see when you temp drops. however, my first month I started temping only a few days before ov so it was still somewhat helpful!

and a triphasic (tri as in 3) is a pattern which shows a 3rd temp shift (being increased in temps) the first temps are pre ov the second is the rise so post ov then the third is common in most pregnancies which is a third rise!

and for today been busy did not bother to test, will be 10dpo feel like af is on her way early though...
 
Almosthere - you're doing better than I am as would be testing all the time.

As for me I thunk I definitely did ovulate early, cd12 which is 3 days early from my normal. Opk yesterday was negative, visible but negative and tummy ache much more mild now, haven't noticed it at all today. CM is quite watery but think I'll be out this month, only hope is that we ovulated the night before ovulation and morning of ovulation and that's it as hubby has been unwell with a tummy bug :( hoping I don't get it x
 
Mazndave, if you´re still 10 days away from ov I´d definitelt start temping now. Why put it off for another month? The temp rise doesn´t occur until after ov so you´ll definitely have enough recorded temps to be able to see when you ovulated. Good luck with waking up at stupidly early hours at the weekend just to make sure your temp is accurate! That drove me crazy! x
 
hi ladies i am on to cycle 5, as i got a bfn at 10 dpo today and had brown then red minimal flow but def more than spotting. gl to those waiting to test in the next couple weeks! so excited you ovd early sonia, what a treat!
 
Hi. FF picked up my ovulation as I thought as cd12, so my fertile window was cds 9-12 apparently and we only bd'd twice so not holding out much hope but you never know. I am now 3dpo, cd15 and have has some very dark, pikk in my cm. Only very small amount but wonder if it was from ovulation as the pains were so intense this month.

Does mean I will probably have a short cycle this month which is a bumma as AF seems to be arriving sooner and sooner. FF is say a cycle of 25-26 days.

Could this be implantation bleed? I know they say around 6dpo normally, but is it possible to have it earlier? I think I have read about people having a bit of spotting after O though, so yeah I bet it is that. Not long now til you can test!!

Almost, sorry to here that you think you're out. If there isn't much flow, is it at all possible that this could be IB? I read it can occur up to 12dpo, so still in with a chance and would still be a bfn on a hpt if only just implanting?

I started my temping today, but think I have a dodgy thermometer! It's supposed to beep when it's done, but it isn't. Should do it once temperature has remained constant for 15 seconds, with less than a 0.1 degree rise. It's not doing this, and is just climbing by 0.01 every 10-20 seconds or so. I just took it out after about 3 minutes as got bored of waiting for it - how long do you reckon I should keep it in going forward? Shall I stick at 3 minutes so it's the same length as first time?

xx
 
My termometer does exactly the same so I wait for the same time every day and then take the reading, normally two mins as I cannot wait three - need to pee x
 
Mazndave, sometimes mine seemed to take ages but it always beeped in the end! I used to almost fall back asleep whilst I was waiting!
 
Hey ladies hope you are all well!

Having a lovely day off work today with oh having a really lazy day watching movies and had lunch out!

Well, its our first month using my OPK's I" think" I got a positive on Saturday morning so cd15 (would concur with last months 29 day cycle) the control line was as dark but thinner than the test line so?? I am so reassured to think I've seen the lh surge on the opk as I thought I might be having probs with ov! so very pleased! :)

Me and oh have had a lovely relaxing weekend in the New forest, was so nice to relax and unwind!

Well yday I had some great EWCM (Sorry tmi!!) this month I have being drinking lots more water- had some grapefruit juice at start of cycle so coincidence that had lots- havent really seen any since ttc!

We have bd Fri night/Sat night and this morning were so so tired after long weekend away so didnt bd last night but we did this morning. Negative OPK now and ewcm has turned sticky, Im having some ov type side/back pain but no ewcm so assume today isnt ov day? :blush: This is sooo confusing!!!
Would you say that we have missed our chance by not bd last night with the ewcm or would the two days before and day after ewcm be enough?? Would you count ov day as ewcm or when I think I got positive opk!?

We both really want our bfp this month as oh work schedule not going to work out with being home for ovulation until around March/April now unless cycles change again!!!

Please please let this be our month!

Lots of babydust to everyone. Lets hope Jan is a good month for some more bfps, and good luck to those for next cycle too who will be feb testing.

xxxxxx
 
Hi sunshine. From what I've read I think a positive opk means oulation within 12-24 hours of the positive test, so I would say your definitely in with a good chance x
 
Well, I'm sat here nearly in tears....just found out that a girl I went to school with had a little baby boy stillborn at 24 weeks:angel: I haven't seen her for many, many years so we're not close or anything, but I just feel so devastated for her. I think because we're trying ourselves now, it brings home just how awful it is. It doesn't bear thinking about.:cry:
 
Oh Maz n dave, that's terrible news and can understand why you are upset. Bug hugs x x
 
Oh Presh, I'm so so sorry hun.:sad1: I can't even begin to imagine how you must be feeling, I'm devastated for you. Lots of :hug: from all of us, you're in my thoughts xxx
