    Oh Porsche your “fertility friend chart” has just given me hope, mine is currently looking almost exactly the same as yours. I had a few higher days at the start of my cycle and then have been a little low recently but is perhaps back on the rise today. Fingers crossed.
    Thanks for sharing that with us, how do I attach mine?
    Hi Keli

    I'm glad it was able to help you. I used look at every body's chart and compare mine to them lol.

    To attach your FF chart you need to go to "sharing " on the left hand menu on FF and choose "home page set up" and then at the top you'll see a link for your chart. Copy and paste it into your reply or into your signature.

    Whoo Hoo Porsche!!!!! BFP!!!! That's so awesome!

    Keli, I think by the time your temp has gone up, you have O'd, so it happens sometime between the low and the peak.

    Francesa Naish's book, Natural Fertility, has a whole chapter dedicated to basal temp charts, so you might find that book helpful. But be warned, some of the other stuff she says in that book is very full on. When I first read it I thought it was the fertility bible, but now have realised that you can still fall pg without making drastic changes to your life (well it hasn't happened to me, but there are plenty of people out there who fall pg all the time without following this book's advice!)

    AFM, I think I'm about to O any minute now as I've had a OPK+, so going to DTD every day until temp goes up and no more OPK+s. Like Keli, I'm feeling pretty positive about this cycle, probably coz I know my tubes are squeaky clean now after the lap and with clomid I can be sure when I'm Oing. And I've bought a karma sutra book, so hoping that will igniting a fire that results in a BFP lol

    Oh yeah, I also get major O pains that last for 24 hours. Thing is, DTD is the last thing I want to do with these pains but that is the perfect time!!!

    Babydust to you all. Let's bring on some more BFPs!!!

    Hi ladies,
    Porsche & Tammara- so glad everything is going well! I'm glad I'm not the only one who is obsessed with POAS, and I'm not even UTD!

    Keli & Mez: I'm currently about 3 DPO, so we are all (almost) TWWing! Nice

    Keli, gonal f is an injectable med. My understanding is that it's the same drug they give when they are maturing eggs for IVF retrieval, but I would take a smaller dose to aim for only 1-2 follies. Hopefully I don't have to do that!

    Mez, I know what you mean about the o pains and DTD! Generally I just want to curl up in a little ball with my heat bag!

    Anyway, I hope you're all well. Talk soon,
    Bec

    Morning Ladies,

    I hope everyone is doing well.

    Apologise but I am about to give TMI as I have a question for you all. Last night after DTD, DH discovered that I had been bleeding as there was a small amount of blood on his penis. I went to the toilet to see what the deal was and it wasn’t a deep red colour or anything it was just a pale pink mixed in with some mucus (I know, I’m sorry I did warn you I was about to give TMI). I am currently on day 20 and have definitely O’d as my temp has gone up. So my question is has anyone else experienced this mid cycle? This is a first for me an I’m a little concerned about what it might be. It was our 3rd consecutive day of DTD so DH said that we must have been having too much sex, ha ha, gotta love him 
    Any thoughts?

    Tammara, fantastic news again for you, woo hoo!
