Hey callie, still no af...according to my FF i am 17 dpo..but that cant be right since my lp is only about 12-13 days! I have two FRER and a Clearblue Digi and im going to save them until about tuesday, if i havent started by wed. or thur. i think i shall be going to a local Dr. to see what in the blue hell is going!!! ↑
Happy Sunday...still no drop in temps! LOL! I was hoping that today, 6dpo I might get the illusive dip everyone speaks of! Oh well....just gotta wait it out again. Jax, as far as finding your "address" for your FF account, when you log in, right above your calendar, second tab (I think) says "Set my homepage" or something about a homepage. click that tab and in a box at the top, you will see a long address and at the end 6 numbers...just give us the 6 numbers and that will take us to your chart. Make snese? I think the address will be soemthing like fertilityfriend dot com /home/ and then your 6 numbers. Tina, you had a good dip today! I am jealous of your shorter cycles. I think I use to be way off from you and Callie and now you are only 1 day behind me......what is your average? I miss my 26 days pre m/c! Okay, see you all later! Have a happy rest of Sunday (or Monday for you Jax!) ↑
Thank you Angie ....I got there in the end my chart ends in /fe999.
Please have a look ant let me know your thoughts not sure if the coverline is my coverline or when I ovulated and my temps seem to look like the Rockies so would appriciate and advice/tips on charts or FF as new to this temping lark this month!! I found out my day21 progesterone blood result was 35.4?!? but after some research I can see its measured differently in the UK to the states ...I believe its a good number and means I am ovulating although yet to see the Doctor. cd27 today and trying to remain hopeful !! How is everyone else doing? ↑
hi all...jax, I read somehwere that progesterone should be above 30 at 21dpo...so it sounds as if yours is good...however, with different standards, I'm not sure. As far as the chart...I'm not one to give much advice, as this is my first month temping seriously too. I did find your char though...I wonder why it shows a blue line as opposed to a red line? it seems that line is showing your coverline, b/c it has the number of DPO listed on your chart, so I would assume that the middle line is the day you O'd, However, it appears if that is the case you had a great dip on day 3...which I would think too early to be implantation dip? So that makes me wonder if maybe you didn't O on the day FF is showing as your Day 3? I don't know....I don't know...I don't know. Like I said, I'm not so sure how FF works in all the details....Jessica and Tina have been at this longer so ladies? what's your opinion? Now I'm curious too. Not much of a change in mine today. :( I don't know what I expect. For the first time today though I kind of have that feeling that this is probably not the month. I don't know if there is any truth to the fact that you should just know when you are pg? If that's the case, I sure as heck don't have that feeling. *whine* I don't want to wait! I want to have a great implantation dip and implantation spotting!!! :) ↑
well.....maybe you did O on the day FF said so as you did get a + OPK the day before. Have you been using those all along? Do you normally only have 1 day of a +? I usually have 2, but I know all women are different. ↑
okay, forget whatever I said about FF...I went exploring and now am more confused! LOL! So we willl just wait for our resident experts to weigh in. That said, Jax, you are soooo close to being able to test!!! How have you resisted...it looks like today would have been day 14?! ↑
okay, one more thing....just made a connection...your line is blue b/c I'm assuming you are taking your temp in Celcius. Man, I'm quick! Ok OK so it takes me a little longer than the average bear..but I'll get there!!! Last post for now as I'm talking to myself!! hehehehhe ↑

Hey ladies, here is my ff addy if you wanna look at it.../home/208f58 my temps and stuff are kinda nuts...the two days where i missed taking my temp was because we were so busy i didnt have time to stick the thing in my mouth! Well im going to go find some lunch!
morning all. Well I think I potentially have good news and bad news today. The good news is I think I'm about to be able to establish the length of my luteal phase, the bad news is that means I have the feeling that I'm about to start spotting. :( It's not cramppy like AF, but the heavy feeling you get when she's about to arrive! Yes, I'm only 8 DPO, but last month I started spotting at 9 DPO, so it isnt' too far fetched. Unfortunately, if this is the case it looks as if my luteal phase is only 12 days...I beleive that's on the low end? Anyway, guess time will tell. ↑

hey ladies...well af started...was there this morning when i wiped...and shes heavy this morning too...i feel like crap...why is that you dont start the major cramps until you see that blood? i saw it, layed back in bed and then BAM the pain started and DF just held me and rubbed my back for me....it sucks... ↑
hey ladies! prego, im sorry that witch showed. i was really pulling for you. i thought for sure this was your month. hey guys, i realize that i messed up the name of this thread! how embarrasing! i meant to put "we love TO temp" oh welsky. well ff detected my ovulation for the 14th, so i am 3dpo. the only thing that sucks is that i didnt bd that day. i did the 2 days before and the day after. i know that sperm can live for 5 days, but i was taking a cough suppressent that dried me up so i doubt my lack of cm wasnt a good home for them to make it. so i am really counting out this month. ↑
Hi Ladies so sorry preggo like Angie says it doesnt help but at least you know we DO understand, I think I will be joining you.....witch not here yet but I can feel her!! Callie how does FF detect your O does it pick up on cm info? Off to find a garage with some fuel as we are having a fuel crisis at the mo...problem is wasting what we do have to get some more!! Talk later ↑
hello, happy Wednesday. Kirssy posted in our old thread with an update, I told her to come join over here. She had a question about an u/s, but I didn't know the answer...maybe one of you all will? Callie, don't worry about the name, LOL! We can just call our next thread "We love 2 Temp" and the 2 can indicate the right word and the fact that it's our 2nd thread! hehehe...I love cheesy! So nothing new to report here. :( My temp went up yesterday so I was hoping today I would be "triphasic" but nope...went down again. :( sad. My bbs are always sore after the O and they have been this time, but today not as much so I figure that is also a sign AF is on her way. ↑
well my temp dropped to 97.2 from 98.1 so just waiting for AF now! so guess we need our appointment at the fertility clinic ! How are you doing Angie? ↑
jax1 - I'm sorry that AF is on her way. Hang in there.
Here is my update ladies: I am on cd 11 and I will be taking my last set of estrodoil pills tomorrow (i can't wait) I will also start opk testing I was suppose to start bding on cd 10-16 but I started on cd 6 so I should be covered on that part. I'm just tired now. On cd 17 I am suppose to start the progesterone gel (trying to get the money for that prescription they are holding it for me at the pharmacy). I'm to take this until AF show up or i get a BFP and if that is the case then I keep taking it until I am 10 wks. I do have 2 question for anyone. Question #1 - If I don't take the progesteron gel what will happened? Question #2 - I am having a u/s done next friday (jun 27) the transvaginal one and they will be checking to see if I have any cyst or fibroids but I was wondering if they could tell how my lining of the uturs look and how many egg follicles I had it might be too late cause I am suppose to ovulate on jun 25. Thanks for your help. Krissy68 ↑
uggg...Jax...I think it was Jessica that told me last month that the bad thing about temping is we know for sure that AF is coming and it takes some of the surprise of wondering. As I told preggo the other day, I am sorry, and I know sorry doesn't help much at all. I do think it's great that you are going to the clinic this month...hopefully they can figure it all out. I think for me the annoying this is we managed to get pg once before, and even a 2nd time with relative ease, why is this so hard?!!?Well, I'm still holding out hope of all hope. I know I'm still early (I'm 9 DPO today) but man I'm dying to test!! Maybe tomorrow at 10 days..I know I know that would be a waste. Two months ago I decided to limit my testing. Krissy, I'm glad you found us. I don't know about the u/s thing...and I'm not an expert on the progeterone question either, but I would say for sure you should take it. From talking to my Doc the use of progesterone is still debatable between Docs. However, I now know of 2 women who m/c and there next pg they took progesterone and had (or one is having) a successful pregnancy. So, I guess all that to say, I don't know what will for sure happen if you don't take it, but I would take it just to be on the safe side. Again, I don't know that there has been any proof 100% that it makes a difference, but I beleive more and more Docs are thinking it does have something to do with sustaining a pg. Alright, see you all tomorrow! ↑
Okay, it's a new day, where are you ladies? So, here is the deal. For whatever reason this cycle I have been itching to test. As I said yesterday, I know it's early, but jsut had the urge. I haven't tested the past 2 months and with my pre-seed orders I've gotten several free internet cheapies. I took one today and there was a faint line....a little excited, yes, but also know those are famous for evap lines, took another, same thing (yes, I did have my FMU in a cup--gross I know, but I can never aim right on those things) So I had a $store one, I know they too are almost as bad, but figured what they hey....another line! So I pulled out the coveted first respone...and there were 2 lines!! both pink and in the time frame! I'm excited, yes, but also extremely nervous b/c I know it's early and am scared of a chemical and/or another m/c! I am, however, cautiously optimistic. I called the doc and am going in for a quant! We will see. ↑
OMG ANGIE!!!!!! that is so awesome! i cant wait to hear what the doc has to say!!!i dont know what is going on with me. my temps dropped today, and to tell the truth, they havent really risen at all since o. i am supposed to be 5 dpo but i had some ewcm today and then i tried to put it in my chart and then they took my o date away. well, i too, out the ewcm and they adjusted my chart back. wtf! ↑
Thanks, Jessica. I went to the Doc, but it will take a few hours to get the results back. I was also scheduled to get a re-test Saturday, but I'll be out of town....dang travel plans. So now I'll have to wait until Monday. She is also testing my progesterone, which I am thankful for. As for your chart...interesting. Are you sure you Od when FF said you did? Why not CD 12 as opposed to 13? I know one day may not be a big deal....but 24hrs can make a difference. As for the dropping temps...that is interesting...I want to get my hopes up that it's implantation dip, but don't want to even go there yet. Plus, that wouldn't make sense why it's two days in a row? Are there other conditions that could effect it such as your room.house temperature? ↑
so maybe the O day is right since your temp didn't rise until cd 14...only rose a little CD 13....it was jsut a thought. That doesn't matter as much as to why temps are not really rising as much...did you do a search for charts like yours? ↑
hey ladies! i just got back from vacation and WOW so much has happened since i was gone. Angie, are you really preggers? you should be after all the Bding you both did! oh that would be awesome if someone got preggers this time around. that give us hope. it really does. so did i get this right that you went this morning to have a blood test done and when do you get the results?
jessica, christina, jax, krissy, and preggo, missed all you guys. OK, so FF took my o line away. if anyone wants to take a look. its home/tina2797
i know i o'd this time, i had all the symptoms. but as soon as i had that dip in my temp, it took it away. i dont know what to believe. ↑
okay friends....TINA! Welcome back. I forgot you went on vacation and was feeling abandon!!! I had noticed your O line wasn't there, but thought maybe you had over-ridden the system and takenit off for whatever reason. I'll go look at again....so the Doc called back, and yes, I am indeed pg!!! You are right Tina, we did BD enough...LOL! The teenage theory of sex all the time might be the key. now the trick is figuring out the secret to making it stick. I still don't want to get too excited just yet. My level came back at 27, which I guess is normal? Of course I've googled it, some places say comparable #s are average, but one or two peeps have said there #s were in the 20s at 10dpo and were told that # was low? Does the worrying and analyzing ever end? So, since I'll be out of town this weekend I'll go back on Monday and hopefully the #s will have risen!!! ↑
i went in on CD22 back in april for mine and i wasnt prg but wanted to check if i was ovulating and it was a 15.5. that was 8dpo. your HCG level needs to double every other day. ang, im so excited for you. i will definitely have you in my prayers that this will go past 12 wks. i know you are nervous. congrats for making it! ↑
Redapplelassie - I will try and get the progesterone gel but I don't get paid until next friday and I just don't have $50 laying around that is gas money. I am suppose to start taking it on cd 17 but I might have to wait until cd 20 I am hoping that won't make a big difference. What do you think I will call the doctor's office and aks the nurse and see what she says. I know I will be to late to see anything on the u/s but I will ask the tech if everything is looking good and go from there. Now as for you little lady I am so happy and congrats to you and I can't wait to read what your numbers are and I will keep you in my prayers that your numbers will double. Keep positive and again I am so happy for you.
Tina2797 - How was your vacation? I miss you. I'm on cd 12 and today is my last day of taking the estrodoil and I am happy I am tired of taking these little blue pills. I will also start the opk testing this afternoon. I also took clomid cd 3-7. I did do the baby asprin and robintussin I started that on cd 10 and I will stop after I ovulate. I will keep you posted.
Okay ladies just wanted to tell you that today is my third daughters birthday and she is 14. Krissy68 ↑
Thanks ladies...I appreciate the support and will keep you posted. Tina, I haven't gone back to your chart as of yet, as I am just now back at my computer. Krissy, you have a 14yr old DD? I'm impressed...it's all I can do to keep up with a 2 year old...I worry what will happen when she can talk back! :) As for the progesterone...don't stress about it too much. As I've said, I've heard it's helpful, but one of the girls I have no idea when she started taking it (do know it was after she confirmed pg) and the other just started taking it at 5 weeks..so while it's probably important, it might not be as important until you are a little further along? I hear ya about the $$...we are so strapped. I hate it every month. DH has started taking the bus & subway to work. Part of me thinks, what are we doing having a 2nd in this economic crisis, but then I think, if you wait until you have enough $ to have kids you'll never have them. I just hope we can buckle down other places. ↑
WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! angie!! i am sooo freakin happy for you!! a little jealous, but i know our time will come, so mostly thrilled for you!! do you have any symtoms? ↑
