Hello ladies
I am new to this website aswell as charting. I am due for af on the 30th and was wondering if my chart is looking like I'm headed for my af. If af is coming will it do a massive drop under the cover line?
Here is a link to my chart.
My Ovulation Chart
~can't wait 2b a mum~
I used to find that my temp would start to drop the day before AF and then by CD2 it would be below the coverline. Good luck!! It looks like a great chart.
I think your graph is looking good. Good luck. Hopefully you'll get some more feed back/info from the other lovely helpful ladies on here.
That looks awesome! 15 days of elevated temps with a clear ovulation rise. Can't believe you haven't tested yet!
Sorry, your chart link leads to an error page for me.
well you haven't had any temp drop yet, so its hard to say if AF is around the corner, some people don't have a temp drop until the day before or the day of AF, I have also seen numerous people that don't have a drop at all. That being said, If it were me I would have tested by now at 15 DPO you should get a very clear result. Good Luck!
wow thank you ladies.
By the sounds of it, its looking good for a BFP! wow i hope so. Its been 2 years of trying without ANY idea of when i ovulate and now after charting for one month we may have succeeded! What a wonderful birthday pressie to give to my fiance if i am - the news that we are expecting.
If my temp stays elevated tomorrow morning i will do a hpt. All the signs i have been getting for the last week or so have been indicating that i am. I just have 'that' feeling.
~can't wait 2b a mum~
Great looking chart! Good luck :)
Great chart, can't wait to here some good news.
Awww thanks ladies.
Thanks ButterflyForever - Im hoping it will be good news too :pray:
Ok I caved and done another hpt and it was negative. Af must be around the corner and am most likley going to get a big temp drop in the next day or two. I don't feel like af is coming which I always do. Has anyone else had this problem and they have still been preg?
So sorry about the BFN :(. It seems FF got your O date right so perhaps you have a slightly longer LP? :hug:
What does that mean? Sorry new to all this.
BFN = big fat negative (pregnancy test)
FF = fertility friend charting software
O = ovulation
LP = luteal phase, the length of your cycle from ovulation to your period
AF = aunt flo (your period)
HTH! (hope that helps!)
from your chart I would say its possible you are 14 DPO today and not 15 DPO, with that in mind an afternoon urine sample would possibly be too diluted to give you a good reading. How long had you held for before POAS? usually you need a good 4 hour hold to build up adequate HCG, Test again tomorrow morning with first morning urine. :pray:
Thanks maruschke yes that helps a lot :D
Mummame it was a lot less than the 4 hrs. I ran out of hpts but I had a massive drop in temp so I wouldn't have bothered anyway. I still don't feel like af is coming-very strange for me. Only time will tell I guess.
ahh so sorry to see that temp drop, hopefully it goes back up tomorrow
Well it's definetly over for me as there is some blood on my underwear. Not enough to class as af as yet so it's back to the beginning. I had so many symptoms for weeks and was so certain we had succeeded, how do I break it to my fiancé that we have to try again? He was so excited that we may have been preg - finally after 2 years!!
How long does it usually take to fall preg when charting ?
so sorry to hear. Sorry to tell you but I have seen some women temp for years and not have a successful pregnancy. Temping only gives you an indication that you are ovulating and when, increasing the likelihood of you catching that egg. Have you and you partner had testing? After 2 years of trying it might actually be time to go see a fertility specialist for more help.
Hi Mummame,
That's the thing we didnt know when i was ovulating until i charted. I thought i was ovulating day 14 as the drs have told me if you have a 28 day cycle you should ovulate around mid cycle, but i now know everyone is different as to when they ovulate.
In the 2 years it hasnt been every month trying - some months we have put if off and others we have tried but only trying on 'day 14'
Yes we got tested early on and his sperm is fine and i am fine apart from having cysts on my ovaries so apart from the cysts i am healthy.
If nothing happens in 6-8 months then we will then go see a fs and succeed that way :)
Last cycle we only bd'd once so this time we are going to up the chances and bd more.
yeah, that's the thing with a lot of GP's, they told me the same thing. I was told that if you have a 28 day cycle you have to ovulate on CD 14 because the luteal phase is always 14 days....:wall: yep completely untrue.
Good luck with your TTC journey
Thanks mummame,
Are you trying? sorry i havent really had a chance to have a look around on here as yet.
well, trying to convince my hubby that we will survive if we go for number 3 :lol: so far he doesn't seem convinced. I still chart every month because I like knowing what my body is doing.
mummame - Well i hope you can convince your hubby to have another bub. I have my fingers crossed that your hubby agrees real soon.
Charting is certainly a good way to see whats happening with your body. I am happy i started, as i now know when i ovulate lol.
Yeah, another one here who thought I must be ovulating on day 14, When I started charting I discovered I actually O on day 17 and have a short LP. 4 months of charting and we're expecting number 2!!
glenny_c - Congratulations on being pregnant with number 2!! :D:D
You think doctors would be more advanced these days. Ah well thanks to fertility friend alot of women have fallen pregnant and havent had to resort to extreme measures such as seeing fertility doctors as thats what im sure alot of women have done because of them thinking they ovulate on a certain time of their cycle and not falling pregnant within a certain amount of time. At least this is an oppurtunity to try the natural way first :dance:
