I forgot to say I had a look at your chart and I understand what you mean. Your temps seem a little strange. Why don't you ask the FF experts to have a look at it for you? You can access them through the Contact Us - Support menu bar in FF.
Hopefully they might be able to look at your chart and also answer any questions you might have. When my chart went haywire they contacted me with some information.
Thank you all so much for your kind words and understanding. As predicted its cycle day 1 for me today, with AF rearing her ugly self. I actually am ok with it all today, yesterday was a terrible day (hormones are wonderful!) but I think I needed it all the same. I threw myself back into work so quickly after Alex was born that I put everything to the back of my mind - thinking that I was doing really well but in actual fact it was doing more damage than good. I have a weeks holiday coming up in 2 weeks so I am looking forward to some time out.
On the plus side I have just realised that I am now on a 28 day cycle, knowing when I ovulated to the day of AF. I am quite proud of myself as I have NEVER had a regular cycle, maybe my body is sorting itself out properly.
I think DH and I are going to have a little break for a while - work on us and our situation & where we are headed. So I might back off a little from this thread, but will lurk for our next BFP's!
I really do wish you all the very best with your TTC journey and for your journeys in general. Thank you for your support - it really does help in every possible way.
To our ladies who are awaiting thier precious bundles, enjoy and take care of yourselves!
Hi Aries, that's great news about your 28 day cycle. All the very very best of luck working out what is best for you re timing of TTC. If you feel like reading something, there is a booklet on the SIDS and Kids website about chosing when to TTC Sids and Kids
The grief is really so difficult. In a way I felt worse than ever at around 4 months after Luca died. Now, just over 6 months on, I still have some very difficult days and try to deal with them by 'carving out time to grieve' as I read was helpful early on. One thing that makes me feel a little better is trying to think of the sad days as an opportunity to feel love for Luca and remember him. I don't think there's any one way to deal with grief. You might have gotten some positives out of going back to work early, as well as difficulties. I hope the week off is very healing for both of you and really refreshes your relationship with one another too. It's hard work regaining hope for the future.
Cheryl, thanks for looking at my chart for me. I had cramps today, so I hope I ovulated today even though the temps aren't normal. I'll see what happens over the next few days. Can't do anything about it anyway!
Bec, hope you get better soon. I get worse cramps with AF now too. I've been trying to exercise as it's supposed to help. It's supposed to help lots of things but I still find it hard to get around to LOL.
Aries, I'm sorry AF arrived but wishing you all the best when you're TTC again. Great news about the 28 day cycle though, looks like things are back on track.
I'll be thinking of you on your due date, I hope the day is gentle and peaceful for you, look after yourself hun.
Cheryl, the AP and CHM studies interest me too, I really hope you get to study them one day. Praying for AF to visit you soon
Samcougar, if AF shows, GL with your next cycle hun. And I am getting a cold too, I am so not happy!!!!!!! Hope you feel better soon
Bec, I'm really not good at reading charts, I tried them and could not work out half the time when I actually ovulated, sorry! GL with this current cycle hun, it would be very nice to see a BFP in here soon!
Megan, Teagz, Diana lovelies!
AFM, the Dandenongs were very nice and relaxing. Unfortunately I opted not to have the spa as I was too paranoid about rising my body temp too much and for bubbles to go up my poonanie. So my DF had the spa and I promissed him a massage, except when he got out I was asleep! Hehe, he missed out. BUT, I am not very happy with him ATM. On Friday night I went out to dinner with a couple of close GF, and I asked DF to pick me up on the way back from the football. He did, but his son was coughing like a trooper in the car all the way home and I wasn't impressed. Basically he gets sick all the time cos he was a premmie, and he catches colds very easily. He also smokes which puts a lot more pressure on his lungs. So I told my DF that he should have just called me and told me Nick was sick and I would have found my own way home. Now I have a big tickle in my chest and throat, I am now coughing like a trooper, and I am absolutely terrified of getting a fever as that's dangerous in early pg. Sorry for the vent, he just doesn't think sometimes.... To top it all off, I think I have thrush. Great!
I hope everyone has a good week, and I'm spreading more & in here!
Aries, I am sorry that AF arrived, but am glad that you had a 28-day cycle, getting your cycle 'back to normal', really is a great step forward. All the very best for when you decide to ttc and good on you for taking time out with your DH, your relationship is the most important thing, so all the best hun.
Beata, glad you had a nice break, annoying about getting a cold, I am sure that bubs will be fine in there, don't worry too much, just see your doctor if your temps start to rise. Plenty of sleep and good nutrition will help a lot I'm sure. Also, I hope its not thrush. I got a bit 'dry' early in my pg (well, it still is early really ), cotton undies (no g-string) help and my dr said sorbolene cream is safe to use to relieve dryness. Good luck.
Bec, I had a look at your chart, and I have to say it doesn't look strange to me, similar to what some of mine looked like. I think you O'ed on CD10 as well, but it doesn't hurt to keep BD'ing to be safe, its what we did as well. I noticed that some of your charts had a LP of 10 days or less, I think you were the one that gave me advise on this? so you would know that its important that your LP is 11 days or longer. Have you tried Accupuncture at all? Your last 2 cycles look much better, which I am sure is a really good sign, so maybe for you its a matter of your cycle 'returning to normal' as well. Hope I didn't stick my nose too far, you did only say to look at your currrent chart
Samcougar, there is still a chance for a BFP. I dont' think I would ever had got a BFP until I was late. I tested the day after AF was due this time and the line was quite faint, so you never know. Good luck.
AFM, had my parents with me for the weekend, which was great. We told them our news and they are very excited and praying with us that this little gorgie will be a healthy baby and make it to full term Just very tired at the moment and still get m/s most days, but not very badly. Sending lots of and to you all.
Berry, thank you very very much for your chart analysis! I don't mind at all.
Beata, bummer about the spa. I remember going away and missing out on spas during both my pregnancies. Better safe than worrying!
Hope your cough just goes away. It's horrible being sick when you're pregnant.
Thanks girls Mum is on the way wth some chicken soup, panadol and a cough mixture & some fruit. She's my personal doctor although she always gives me a hard time when I get sick. Why do you go out out in the cold, why don't you wear more clothing, why do you work in an open office so when people are sick you get sick?? Blah blah blah. She loves me!
