Pooley, well we are mostly told that ovulation should be CD14 or so but I don't think my temps are showing anything of any significance... so will wait and see. I think CD14 ovulation is based on a 28 day cycle and I don't really know how long my cycle is going to be. It is that dreaded unknown again.
We are both in the unknown re cycle lengths but if you have a significant rise in your temps then it may be ovulation so like crazy around any temp rise! That is what I plan on doing anyway... DP doesn't know I am temping (well I haven't told him) so if I see any rise I will just be enticing him any which way possible and I don't think he would mind either!
God christmas, it is fast approaching, I remember when I had my Implanon out I was thinking yeah, I am going to be able to announce I am pg by christmas (ie the 12 week wait would have passed) but alas the TTC is taking longer than I had anticipated!
He he It just makes me cranky that men don't have the same rubbish to deal with!!
I thought with temping you're looking for a low in the middle of your cycle, that will be followed by a high? Oh my god, do I even know what I'm doing??
How is it that you are keeping the temping a secret??? You must be very sneaky! I'm very obvious with mine. Though I am sneaky about coming on here because hubby thinks that I'm obsessing. Poo poo to him tonight 'cause he's not here.
I've got to talk to someone because he'd get sick of it if i gabbled to him about ttc rubbish, so I'm really doing him a favour!!
Re temping, from what I can gather you have low temps and then once they spike and stay that way for a few days that is ovulation and then the temps may lower after but it is better if they stay high as that can indicate pg is underway. Mmm maybe I should read up on it a bit more so I know what on earth it is I am looking for.
DP leaves for work before I even attempt to start waking up so I have the thermometer next to the bed but he doesn't notice it (or he has and hasn't mentioned it) I record it in my book and then onto FF later that night, I am a part-time uni student so am able to covert my FF entries and BB online time. DP also thinks I am obsessing slightly but as I have said to him several times I like to feel in control of some things and even more so for things I really cannot control.
Lol it amazes me how similar we are - I also feel that I am better talking (typing) these TTC issues out rather than knawing DP's ear off to no avail. Yep they should both consider themselves very lucky that we are sparing them the intricate details of TTC.
Indeed, we could be annoying them much more than we really are!! Just recently my DH (I hate using that shortcut) has started asking about how my temping is going and what it means.... and when we shold be DTD, how strange!! NOT Anyway, I think his mind is not quite on the long term goal that mine is right now, but that's men for you.
My temp dropped today to the lowest that it's ever been. I hope that's a good sign, below 36. It was never that low before AF returned. Don't know if I'm being anal but I guessestimated a cycle length and added it to an online ovulation prediction website and had a look. So hopefully IF, and that's a big IF my AF is meant to return then I have something to plan for in the next couple of days.
Yeah long term goals are not DP's strong point either!
I still have no strong indications of an impending ovulation - and today is CD15 so there goes my 28 day cycle theory... oh well will have to keep an eye out for any temp rises etc. We are just DTD when we can and fingers crossed at the moment. I also have my fingers (and toes, arms, legs etc) crossed for you for something in the next few days.
As we have said before the waiting and unknown are the hardest part and I am really getting over it - it is so hard because there are 3 pg people in my office and different days just do my head in.
I think Pooley has described us in one!!
