Mon TTC

Couldn't find a thread yet so I will start one.

Monday comes too fast!

Me - about halfway through the 2WW, all symptoms are either imaginary or I have them every month anyway, so I am not sure which way it will go at the moment - but if I was a betting lady I would say AF would be here this time next week.

Babydust to all xx

Morning,

Caz79 - hopefully af stays away, think its hard to tell either way isnt it?

Me - CD24, hopefully 4DPO.  Still waiting on FF to confirm after my mega temp drop on what I thought was 2DPO, but then temps soared after that (36.32 1DPO, 35.88 2DPO, 36.82 3DPO 36.76 4DPO .. last week it was about 36.22).  Maybe FF is wrong and today is only 2DPO which means we would be out for the month anyway    Anyone know?

Better get ready for work. Last night was day 1 of E in big girls bed.  She woke up about 3 times hysterically crying, but didnt try to escape which was weird. One of the times I found her on the flooor on her knees with the dummy other side of room .  To celebrate being a big girl she then decided this morning to draw all over the living room wall with pen She has never done that, ever, so I am really annoyed as it is right behind the sofa and lots of it.

Hope everyone has a nice Monday

Hi Smiley, meant to get back to you yesterday re what sounds like a fallback rise.  I think you are right about your date of ov, and tomorrow if you have another high temp, FF should put your ov date as the one where you're 36.32.

If you google fallback rise, you can find lots of info - it's the pattern I had in 4 / 6 of my TTC cycles, including cycle 6, the successful one.

"Fallback rise: Temperatures may show a "fallback rise" pattern. In a fallback rise pattern the temperature rises significantly and abruptly as you would expect, but then it drops again immediately before it rises again and is sustained throughout the luteal phase."

Caz79 - lots of stay away vibes for you.  I hope this is your month

Smiley - sorry to hear things are still unclear.  I hope the first temp drop was your ovulation.  I had a bad night with a coughing LO last night so am shattered! Erk about the wall - I'm sure there's a good tip to remove the pen....shame I can't remember it at the moment!

katie -

Nothing to report here.  Had an absolutely awful AF this time but she's gone so I'm hoping it was just a one off.

Oh and to amuse you all...

My name is Hecate and I'm in love with Anton du Beke

Morning ladies.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Caz - good luck on the 2WW, hope you are wrong and that AF stays away.

smiley - hope you get some answers about your temps soon, I have never charted so don't have any advice to offer, sorry.

Me - CD26 and I think around 12 DPO (got smiley face on CD13). I am trying very hard not to symptom spot but have had a mix of: sore right boob, abdominal pain on lower right side, weeing lots and constipation (sorry tmi!!). I am probably reading way too much in to things though and thinking every little thing could be a symptom (I am driving H mad!). Am determined not to test too early this month as last month AF arrived half an hour after testing so I was annoyed at myself for wasting a CBD - I have one left and want to use it wisely! Last month AF was CD28 but has been as long as CD31 in the past so think I will wait till end of week before thinking about testing (unless AF arrives earlier of course!).

Have a good Monday everyone. Good luck to anyone testing today and baby dust to all.

Casa x

Sorry I missed you Hecate - lovely to see you on here. Sorry you had a rough AF, really hope it was a one off for you. Still at least shes gone now and you can get on with the next cycle. Hope you have a better night with your LO tonight too.

PS - I have no idea who Anton du Beke is - picture please!

thank you for that *katie*  although on my chart the drop is massive, right below coverline, and then shoots straight up again, very strange, accompanied by spotting.

Could I ask you to look at my chart then and let me know what you think? Or where you think I ovd? FF is saying that it is CD 20, I am just a bit concerned that maybe I didnt ov. The spotting started on the evening of CD21 and lasted through CD22. 

Hopefully this works http://www.fertilityfriend.com/journal/cBLQ3GW.gif

Hecate , glad AF is almost on way out.

Morning All

Caz - Hope af stays away for you

smiley - can't help with the temping, but i hope you get some answers soon

katie -

Hecate - Good to see you back.  Glad to hear AF has gone

casablanca - I really hope they are pg symptoms, im keeping everything crossed for you

Me - CD17 and 3dpo, AF due around CD27

Dust to all

xxxx

Morning

Caz - hope 2ww flies by and you get a bfp at the end. 

Smiley - Sorry no idea about temps/FF etc, hope someone can help you but good luck for this month. Hope you manage to get the pen off.  I went into Ava's bedroom a few months back and she had drawn all over the side of her wardrobe with red marker pen.  I could really have hit her, I was so annoyed.  I have a massive peppa pig poster covering it now but thinking that may not be such a good look in your living room

Hecate - Good luck this month and sorry Anton?  No no no.  I find him too sleazy and as if he would be good down an alley with a long black mac on and nothing underneath. 

Casa - good luck.  I am a serial symptom spotter too. I think its so difficult not to be. 

Me - CD5 here and AF has gone.  Very short time on this month compared to last time.  It seemed to last forever.  Back to dtd.  I have decided to try my OPK's this month. Bought some cheapies off ebay so will give them a whirl. 

Dust to all xx

Hello all

Caz - Hope the next week flies by for you - I am feeling your pain!

Smiley - Not an expert I'm afraid, but good luck.

Hecate - Who is he?????!

Casa - Hope those symptoms mean something.

Sam - I have pretty short AFs as well - think it's my body's way of making up for stupid long cycles.  Good luck this month.

Me - CD25, so the end is in sight.  I reckon I'm around 6DPO and expecting AF on 12DPO so that'll be this weekend, spotting ususally from CD10.  It will fit in nicely for choosing its days as if I count back my last few cycles this is what happened.

July - AF arrived on my birthday

Aug - AF arrived on long haul flight

Sept - AF arrived on the day of 10k race

Oct - AF arrived while we are a really nice holiday

So this one if it comes on Sunday will fit in nicely as I'm doing another 10k race that day!

Baby dust to all.

Morning All! Hope you all had nice weekends (if somewhat short)…

Caz79 – the 2ww is soooooooo long! Hope the rest flies by for you, and with a BFP at the end

Smiley – I had a temp drop as well, FF will put in your ov date once it’s had 3 sustained temps, so just because it’s not on yet doesn’t mean you haven’t ov’d. Good luck with removing the pen, I’m sure there’s something (baby oil?) which is supposed to remove it easily, hopefully someone in the know will come along and advise!

*Katie* -

Hecate – glad AF has gone. Anton? There’s no hope for you is there !!!

Casa – – ditto, even with the symptoms! Lets hope it’s positive for both of us!

Royalty – another one on the 2ww sofa. Hope it goes quickly for you

SAM83 – glad AF has gone, good luck with the OPKs this month

EGIB – hope AF stays away for your race, and for a good few months Her timing has been exemplary!

to the lurkers, especially Chids if you're about

Me – CD26, 11 DPO. Symptom spotting like mad, not that there are many tbh! Temps dipped but have come up again now. Plan to test on Thursday (14 DPO) with a sensitive one. Rest of 2ww – yawn…

to all

Hello again all

Casablanca - lots of AF stay away vibes for you.  I'm exactly the same, want to KNOW I'm pregnant before I use a CBD...which defeats the object I guess but they're pricey

Royalty - hope the rest of the 2ww isn't too arduous

Sam - glad to hear AF has gone and you're prepared with the OPKs.  I'd be quite happy to meet him in the situation you describe

EGIB - loads and loads of AF stay away vibes for you my lovely.  I really hope you've invoked the law of sod by buying OPKs

nutfluff - hope the rest of the 2ww flies for you.  Lots of AF stay away vibes

Chids if you're lurking

Anton......

Sorry, sorry, sorry but I heart him lots.

[delurk]

Hecate - I am totally with you on Anton!

for you all

[lurking again]

michelle f:

[delurk]

Hecate - I am totally with you on Anton!

for you all

[lurking again]

Hope you're ok Michelle.....but I'm afraid I'll fight you for him....

Caz - Hope that the rest of the 2ww hurries through.  Lots of luck for this cycle
Smiley - Hope that FF confirms ov soon.  Your poor little girl, hope that she gets used to her big girl bed soon.  And your poor walls. 
Katie -
Hecate - glad to hear that the horrid AF is all gone. I thought of you this morning, they were advertising that Draco was on GMTV this morning, unfortunately i didn't get to see him as i had to get off to work.  Hecate - Anton Du Beke looks like he'd be more interested in Mr Hecate that you, if you catch my drift
Casa - hope that they're "proper" symptoms and that AF doesn't arrive.
Royalty - another one for the 2ww, hope it's not too boring for you.
Sam - good luck with the opks,  i have some this month to try too, i've never used them before.
EGIB - hope that AF doesn't show and ruin the race you're doing at the weekend.  Lots of luck for that, i admire your running.  I've never been able to run.
Nutfluff - hope that the rise in temp is a good thing for you.

Me - CD whatever hecate is on as we seem to be cycle twins.  (just checked and it's CD5)  AF is gone, and my temping seems to be going ok.  Missed a temp on CD1 but so far i've taken them for the last 4 days at 5.30am every day.  So can i have a little gold star please.
Off for the trip to the drs tomorrow after work, after the farce that we had last week of going on the wrong day.  I'm  just glad that AF has been so maybe he'll arrange day 21 bloods to check for OV. 
Had an eventful weekend.  Dad was sent to hospital because they were concerns he'd had a stroke, all the left of his face had drooped, his blood pressure was up so the dr advised him to go to A&E.  Fortunately it wasn't a stroke, just Bels Palsey, so at the moment he looks funny as his left eye doesn't shut, and he is slobbering a lot.
Hope that everyone is ok, babydust to all   Lets all get ready for a run of Christmas BFPs
