Hi everyone,

Maz - maybe you could check the help pages or the tutorial on FF to learn about cm. I'm certainly no expert I've just started charting and I'm finding it hard to determine the difference particularly the days following bding.


:doctor:

Sorry for no other personals and I think this might turn into a bit of a vent.

Well I'm on CD11 now and am stressing majorly as my DF is off from work sick. I am worried about him but I'm also concerned about missing our chance of conception this month. I know how insensitive that sounds but I can't help it. He's sick as with flu like symptoms and has been this way for two days. I even had to leave work today to come home and look after him and get him to the doctor. I'm annoyed about it because I feel like it's kinda self inflicted as he smoked way too much on the weekend (doesn't usually but he tends to smoke more around smoker friends) and now he has an infected throat. I've cut out so many things in order to get pg and he's carrying on like normal. He is now saying he will give up smoking again and eat healthier in an attempt to not get so sick (I think this is his third bout of flu so far this year, each time it's knocked him down like a ton of bricks).

I've had trouble charting my temps due to a heater being left on overnight one night (which resulted in me waking up roasting with a temp of 36.4 followed by one 5 minutes later of 36.1 after throwing the covers off & turning the heater off) and last night he was up and down all night and so was I. I took my temp at 4am (I didn't realise it was that early until after I took it) and it was 36.1 then when I took it at 7am (when I normally do) it was 36.4. I was of course snuggled up to a burning hot body prior to taking this temp so I have no clue what temp to use. I had one day of partial ferning, then a day of full ferning (yesterday) then partial ferning today so I'm thinking that I've either just O'd or am about to.

Does anyone know what it means on FF when you get a white dot in the temping chart area (as against the black ones)? I got that today and I tried to find what it meant and didn't have any luck. I've also got the green light so I'm pretty sure I must be quite fertile right now. Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter unless he suddenly comes good & the bd'ing resumes. Wish me luck.

p.s. Apologies again for the long vent.
