Trying To Conceive

Alexandra · Apr 3rd, 2008, 08:15 AM

Okay so what's this charting experts?

FF is trying to give me a heart attack. I'm not supposed to O till the 10th or the 11th. Yet my temp was -wrongly maybe- a stable 36.9 for 3 days and a 36.8 this morning. SURELY THAT'S NOT A DIP! It's an insignificant difference!

Yet FF has taken it upon itself to say "most fertile" in that stop light thing. Wazzup with that?!?

Please take a peak and enlighten me, it's really strange.

Meanwhile I'll go POAS on an OPK and post the results momentarily

I don't mean to get all up in it but do you also monitor your cp and cm? or is it just by bbt?

I just did an OPK and it's on the low side it's there but it's not half and it's not smiley face so PPPBBBTTT to FF!

Capuru, nope, I can't do CP. I do try to do CM and it seems watery today.

Girl...I don't know.

Hmm, you need to get your hands on a BBT asap, so we can measure those slight changes in temps. As for this recent "throw you for a loop" dip - it could be a sign of early O - but usually with BBT you get a couple of dips and rises before O. O is determined when there is a significant jump in temps after other signs. So say for instance you get a positive OPK and then next day you get a big jump in temps, it will class it as O time (see my chart, the temp dip and rise is a good example of what I'm trying to say)

Keep up with those OPK's, they are a pretty darn good indication of LH surges therefore pretty accurate. Temps are affected by a lot of things.

Woohoo - but you're getting there.

Stock up on the lube honey
I say this from experience because I can't walk properly!

Too true. If you read my journal it says there I'm already hooked on PreSeed. I'll go and buy some more before DF confiscates my CCs

)

I have something like 4 or 5 packages from Ebay due to arrive! The thermometer, the home fertility tests, HPTs, OPKs and the CBFM -not from Ebay-. I'm losing it big time!

Ahhh, a girl after my own heart.

I have way to many TTC contraptions. I'm waiting for them to start contradicting each other in retaliation!

By the way - why can't you click on your sig to view your chart?
have you not fixed that yet?

It's crazy, some people save for baby nappies and food. We have friends that calculated they have enough money to get their future child into secondary school!

We'll have NAAAATHIN! I sure hope I can bathe it in PreSeed and take his temperature with these contraptions. Maybe I should start saving the wrappers too. I bet I could wallpaper the former guitar room with them!

Maybe it thinks that because your cm is watery. FF takes all of the signs possible and tries to put it together to detect if ovulation might be near so the temp and the watery cm indicates ovulation might be near to FF it's probably confused lol I think the opks might sometimes show you have estrogen being made some women always have very light visible line on their test the whole time till it actually becomes dark. I ask about the cp cause usually if your cp didn't have any signs of fertility ff wouldn't have went green for fertile time.

*I was just about to recommend you to Ney-Ney if I couldn't help

Speaking of CP anyone ready for some very gross TMI?

Okay so here goes: DF thinks he "felt something at the tip of the ahem" last night. Would that be a closed cervix or the contrary? Mind, he never feels anything normally. Well I hope he feels something.... you get the idea

Capuru · Apr 3rd, 2008, 08:58 AM

Lol, Well if your cervix is closed it's usually low and firm and it's not too far in usually when you're getting close to O it'll rise up high go soft and is Open and usually wet and sometimes it's more difficult to feel it during that time, but when a girl gets u know in the moment

the cervix will go high so that you can bd.(tmi) To me if I just go into it and am not u know

well I think you get it lol. So, maybe he did feel your cervix it should be low and firm right now if you're not ovulating.
