[sweetest77]

Jennifer I just googled "due date calculator" and tried a whole bunch

Mumma Hmm, buying clothes to tempt fate is much more fun than buying OPKs! I hope those clothes are all too small for you in a couple months

CLH Don't worry about the temp drop, my temp falls back on occasion, as long as it goes back up tomorrow your crosshairs should be safe! Not sure why the cross hairs are dotted? I would agree that you should try to bd today just in case!

Adorkable Sorry AF found you

Holly Yours was one of the first charts I checked this morning. Congrats, you have successfully O'd

SaraB I would personally go with the first temp. I think it's more important to have consecutive hours of sleep than to take your temp at the right time after restless or short sleep (but that's based on my opinion not necessarily fact!) Don't worry about one temp dip, it shouldn't affect your chart!

Karma I implanted today too , my little bean is just a late bloomer

Tear When are you planning on testing, I would expect an early BFP with triplets

Tulpen

Miriam can't wait to see an update from you, remember I'm testing vicariously through you this week!

AFM 10dpo and I finally had a temp other than 98.2 or 98.4 - it was 98.6, which is within my normal range, but at least it's up, right? I've already decided I'm pg this month , so I'm actually not feeling a huge urge to test (not sure how long that will last!)

yours, mine, and holly's beans all implanted last night- early no less- i think they will all be precocious children... seriously, it's fine to have dips etc in the lp, even down to (or below) the coverline. they come right back up. it's a little estrogen surge most likely. the coverline doesnt really 'mean' anything.

holly and clh- you want me to move you, right?

Could I have implanted last night too?

[karmab]

yes, i do believe everyone implanted last night. isnt that sweet, even our beans are syncing up. aww.

maybe- those $tree tests- i like them (not as much as the ic's) but they do always show the antigen line just a tad. you have to know that when you look at them so you are extra careful to see PINK. they have fooled me before, back before i was a jaded ttc veteran

jenn- funny about feeling pg. i have NEVER felt pg before i tested. i was absolutely shocked when the test was pos at almost 8 wks with my twins. #3 i tested for when i was 1 day late, but i really wasnt expecting it to be + either, and after fainting 3 times by 7 wks with dd, someone finally convinced me i should check a test but i thought it was ridiculous. ooops. guess im not good at that.

[karmab]

and jennifer only once a day, ah, i think you've got it covered, girl.

tear- (((double secret handshake)))

clh- they will most likely give you solid crosshairs tomorrow if your temp is back up, which it will be. i really dont know why they are dotted, even with that drop. they've got your coverline higher than it needs to be on advanced method. really, they are pretty willie nillie with coverlines on advanced. fam method is tough on coverlines, but advanced, they put them all over the place for no good reason sometimes. dont worry. why not bd, but dont worry.

No...(hehhe)...once. Period.

I fixed the original..and put a comma after the "once"...we only dtd once this cycle.

[karmab]

ah. well that means he totally blasted you that one time, and that is all you need, girlfriend.

jennifer- remind me- do you chart? why dont we have a link for you?

I think the lines are dotted because of the Creamy CM before O.
What happens if you change that?
If I get EWCM after O it will make them dotted. They are weird about CM...

Sorry to those that found .

AFM, My temp went up this morning? WTF. I took my temp 5 times....and used the best of 5. Well, the temp I got the most. I also got an even more positive OPK today, which means I should O today but because of the jump in temp I think they'll put my O date as yesterday if my temp goes up again tomorrow. Yesterday would be better in terms of timing but let's be realistic.

What's the lag time in LH reaching your urine? Could I have Od overnight and it's just taken 8 hours for LH to reach urine?

[SaraBravo]

FF chart over lay

http://www.FertilityFriend.com/Chart...Update+Overlay

This doesn't mean anything does it? I could still take a turn and have af show up and not keep following the same pattern right?

[SaraBravo]

Fm- wish I could tell u something but that seems pretty confusing I would go with yesterday as o day but who knows? Ff put my o date for when my temp was going up 3 days after my dip... so ? No clue really this whole ttc and charting this is still pretty bewildering to me ... but fun!

[annablue]

I'm getting kind of these weird cramps in my lower abdomen... like menstrual cramps, but I'm not due for AF for another 11 days. (I rarely even get menstrual cramps, let alone cramps in the middle of my cycle.) Crossing my fingers it's meaningful!

[karmab]

fm that is strange. maybe it was + on cd13 too, the day you didnt test it, huh? have to see what it does tomorrow. but if it's more pos today, i would think you will o tomorrow. this chart could be tricky. 97.7 could still be pre-o, but it is a noticable jump, isnt it. hmmm. maybe youre o'ing yesterday and tomorrow. twins for you this time?

[sleepingbeauty]

Wow! That's pretty cool! Don't worry, you'll be next.

[karmab]

annablue- there is this weird thing that happens when we start ttc- we notice EVERYTHING, even things we never paid attention to before, so there's no way to know if anything means anything or not, until AFTER we test, which is why we are all so batty! it's enough to make anyone kooky. do you have a chart?

LOL twins scare me....

I think it's just a fluke that my temp jumped up, but I have noticed that the last 2 charts, my temps goes really low a few days before O and then starts a steady climb upwards, never really spiking the day after O - just trending up. That day before was -, i just never put it in. It was - yesterday morning as well and got + by evening and was SUPER dark crazy positive a few hours. I know there is a lag time between LH in your blood triggering ovulation and when it gets into your urine, I just don't know what it is. The only time my husband and I have along together is when the kids are napping and today is probably out of the question so I hope yesterday was good enough.

Annablue - I agree, you do notice every twinge and cramp and speck of anything. I think it takes a few cycles to kind of learn what's normal and what's different. It does drive you crazy though....

[CLH_X3]

Il reply back properly laterbut I took the cm out of my chart before o and it didn't change at all

omg me too! Twice today i've had a few minutes of intense crampyness like a mixture of AF cramp and a run to the bathroom quick type feeling but nothing really happening.

I hope and think maybe implantation!! How cool would that be if we all get preggo together and had implantation at the same time!!!! LOL

Gotta run back to work but i'll be back later for some personals!

[Keria]

Hi guys, I've been MIA, trying to relax and not obsess this cycle.

I'm 4dpo I think I'm getting an UTI I've never had one before, I dont want to take abx during the 2ww, I'm drinking a lot of water I read cranberry tablets cculd help but I don't think I can those here, so for now I'm drinking tons of water and if it gets worse I'll go see a doctor.

Good luck everyone.

I don't chart. I don't have the patience for it..and I never wake up at the same time or sleep ttn.

He's gotten me pg twice on just one BD He used to work in a lab and he checked his swimmers once and it was well well above 'normal'...so I don't doubt those suckers! LOL! I hope we ALL make it into the JAN '10 DDC! Lets set a record for how many mama's are in there!

[karmab]

keria- i have been wondering about you. listen, if the uti doesnt clear up quickly, dont mess around. they can get b-a-d. there are antibiotics that are ok in pregnancy. some ladies are prone to uti's during pregnancy and stay on abx the whole time.

cranberry juice too.

ps- there's something for uti pain over the counter in any drug store, walmart, supermarket etc called azo, but if it's bad enough for that, you need antibiotics too.

[Tara2]

karmab- thank you, nah don't move me yet. High temp probably due to sleep dep and today had an ambiguous temp which could go either way. More CF, I think also. still waiting to see. No implanting with the group- yet for me. But maybe i am conceiving as we speak, lol.

sweetest- wow your chart does look nice! FX.

holly- i also had a ton of crampiness and twingest yesterday but am still waiting for O. FX for you

jennifer- sometimes i think of stopping charting. the stress gets to me at times. a breather would be nice, lol. Yay on good swimmers!

sorry to everyone i missed, gotta run put DS down for his nap in sec. i already said that i have 2 possibly high temps which i am disturbing cause of factors that may have influenced them. today's i woke 1 hour early and took it and it was low...woke again and took it almost an hour after usual time and it was high... right now can go with neither officially, just waiting to see the next one
