oh but then again, i wont wear anything constricting like jeans around the time i o because i dont want to squish my tubes and obstruct the slide down to the uterus either.

good luck divine!!!!!

[hollytheteacher]

sorry i've been kinda mia

I'm here and

duh duh duh duhhhhh ( you know that trumpet sound?? haha)

I'm CHARTING

I feel all proud and like a ttc professional (hehe).

Only trouble is I can't figure out how to link it here...when i copy the link of where my chart is it just brings me to the main page and not my chart....can anyone help me with that??

I'm on CD 8 but dh and I decided to start dtd yesterday and are going to keep doing every day for at least two weeks! lol.

[karmab]

cd8 here too holly. good plan, girl. my strategy was to hold off a little this month so he could build up and then blast those swimmers en masse closer to o date, but im slightly nervous now because i checked cm/cp for first time this cycle and i think o may come a lil earlier than it always does on cd14, and i dont want to miss it! i took an opk and it was negative, but it wasnt that negative.

good job on the charting too. for the link, just click where it says "home page setup" right over the calendar, and then copy the link to here and i'll set you up on page 1.

are you able to order them online? if you google early pregnancy tests you should come up with a couple places where you can order them. i'm not sure what the rules are in terms of naming specific websites that aren't sponsors here but i'd be happy to discuss it via PM if that's more appropriate in terms of naming names

good luck!

as for me, i'm waiting to test. rather impatiently. i got a BFN yesterday but likely just too early. i might test tomorrow even though i'll TRY to hold off another day. then again, if dollarama carries HPTs, i might just get some and test to my heart's content!

What program do you use? For Fertility Friend you need to go to the 'my account' option on the lefthand menu bar, then there should be a bunch of options. Under your 'member summary' there will be a 'community options' and in that section there will be a 'home page setup' link. Click on that and then the first thing on that page will be your charting home page web address and just copy and paste.

Let me know if you have TCOYF and I can walk you through that too

Hi ladies, great new thread!! I always get excited when the thread I will be Oing in opens, I guess im easily pleased!

Okay, so I need your help!
I took an OPK at work today at like 12pm, first time I have ever done that at work, picture me sitting on the toilet with utility belt carrying my gun and taser down around my ankles and shirt tucked under my chin!! Anyway it was immediately positive, the test line was dark even before the control line appeared!! I have been cramping all day, cant test CM as we dtd this morning at 5am. So i got home at 3pm all excited to test again, but both tests were negative, is it possible to get a positive (and its not wrong) and the a negative three hours later??
Oh and im CD18 by the way.

So, my temp dropped today...at CD3.

It's been so long since I've charted, but I seem to remember that sometimes happens at the beginning of a cycle? Or it could be my son slept through the night, unlike the previous 2 nights? Argh! I hope that's not it b/c then my chart will look like an out-of-control roller coaster, and I'll never figure out if I'm ovulating.

I was going to take the same route, wait as close to O as possible and then BD like 3-4 days on and around O, but because I dont know my O date its kind of hard to do that, dont want to wear my OH to soon, and hes got hayfever so hes moaning about soar eyes and sniffles! ...

hollytheteacher - This is my first cycle charting as well. how are you finding it ?

TheDivineMrsM - .. Im hoping 7th cycle is the lucky one! ... this is my 7th as well FX

Sweet.Bee - I cant help you on the chart, this is my first cycle charting and I have no idea what im looking at when I look at my own!

AFM - CD12 and my monitor went to HIGH ... Hope I dont get many of them before I O

Im going to take a OPK in the next hour, Hopefully there is a signs of a line forming

[CLH_X3]

Just took a OPK it was totally and utterly NEG, could hardly see a second line! ..

[karmab]

clh and mumma- opks are whacky.

mumma, i dont know if that is possible, i would be surprised that it went from blaring to completely neg in such a short time, but if the control line looked normal, maybe it did. if anything, i would believe the positive one. you will know for sure soon, and you have dtd more than enough to cover it!

clh- i do know for a fact that they can go from totally negative to totally positive in 24 hours or less, so dont let that bother you.

sweet.bee- your temps look normal. temps during af are always weird, and they dont mean anything. they usually start off higher and trend lower, exactly like yours. i dont start temping till cd8 now, when they level out.

[CLH_X3]

Well I will take another one tonight when i get home from work and see how that one is... and then the next one tomorrow

Will I get a peak on my monitor before my chart shows ovulation ?

[AdalynsMama]

Temped for the first time this morning... 97.86... Does that sound too high for a normal pre-o temp?

Yeah, sort of remembered that from way back when, but I guess I'm just concerned that my inconsistent sleeping schedule - due to a little one who can't decide whether he wants to sleep through the night or not - will screw up my chart. It appears I will simply need to be patient to see if this is actually the case. Hmm, patience. Not so good at that one.

My temps were all over the place for the week after AF, then started steadily dropping before I o'd. It's normal - it's a result of different hormones dropping and rising.

[sleepingbeauty]

Sweet--hang in there. I'm hoping for the oppostie. I'm on the pill and I still chart. If I were TTC, I'd be excited looking at my chart. I might even get crosshairs tomorrow. o_O

Hopefully BOTH of our charts will settle down.

[Kyamo]

SweetBee - thats normal. Temps during your period are often a bit higher than the rest of the pre-O temps.

I went to Dollarama last night and bought some tests. I stand corrected, they do have OPKs too. Both the tests and the OPKs are $1.25.

FF changed my O date this morning, saying I'm 15DPO now, and I think they are wrong about it. I think the first date was right, and I'm still 8DPO.

[Spinnerette]

Morning! Hope you're all doing well!

Today is one of those days I wish I had an OPK test. I can hardly reach my cervix to tell if it's "open" or not, it's so high up. My temps are EVERYWHERE, though, no gradual shift or what-have-you, so I'm assuming I haven't O'd yet, though I thought I might get crosshairs today. Boo. I need to wait a little bit so I'm not trying to find EWCM among "last night's leftovers" :P

Being patient was never something I've been good at.

[KingsDaughter76]

5 DPO today- I am liking how my chart is looking this cycle...my temps are going up up and away- wow....I am starting to think that maybe my husband is right- maybe he did knock me up on our anniversary...lol! This next week could be very interesting! Anyone wanna obsess over my chart with me this week? I love having a cheering squad!

I hope he did! I'll take a peek in a minute. (I go down the list of TWWers every morning. lol)

[SaraBravo]

Sounds like lots of us have trouble with patience lol.

Well not very high hopes for this cycle. Looks like I o'd yesterday cd13. I hope the bd this weekend and tonight might somehow luckily catch the egg... its a long shot and one can dream can't she lol.
Really don't think I will get a bfp which I suppose is good since SO is moving on the 2nd and the kids and I won't be moving til july. We will start ttc with a vengence in aug. I want a summer baby
So I'm going say PLEASE PUT ME IN THE 2WW for now but I'm pretty much just waiting for af. If af is later than the 3rd then I will test.

Fx for all u ladies. I'm going to be lurking til af comes then I'll give an update.
