Hi Tansey,

Me again. I noticed you mentioned about your temps not being very high. Mine are very, very similar to yours ... look at our charts overlayed:



So, now you have me wondering about my own hormones. What do you think it could mean? I have overlayed my chart with as many as I could find on FF that were similar with pre and post ovulation temps and there were quite a few. I only chose the pregnancy ones as that's all I was really interested in.

I did notice that most had a larger jump from before ov temps to after ov temps which gave the chart a better rising temperature trend. Ours look a little flatter if you see what I mean.

Let me know your thoughts as there may be something we are overlooking.

I too am thinking of speaking to my doctor at the beginning of my next cycle, just to see if everything is OK. I actually think it is, but I would hate to miss anything out through complacency.

Sorry you got spotting. I don't spot, just get full blown AF, so should know by next Tuesday what the score is.

Tishi...overlay mine and you will see mine are a lot lower...funily enough we kinda had the same ore-ov dip pattern too!!!

Thanks for that, i thought i was being a bit paranoid but i too, thought there would be a bigger difference. I have to go docs about liver U/S results from weeks ago so while i'm there i might try and have a coversation if he's not in too much of a hurry because that just annoys me! If we both go and if Miel speaks to here gyny we might all get some info!

BUT you are not out yet!! Still could be a for you.

(It is a bit funny that was going to go to docs and moan about 5 days of spotting each month and this month i hardly have any! )

i am sorry about the spotting hun - but it sounds like you are being a little more positive about stuff.
I don;t know wether you already try this but i read it in a book called "the natural guide to infertility" - it tells you to bd every other night for the entire cycle and once you know you have actually ov'd to stop then. I have a 2year old little boy to prove it works.

That sounds very interesting.....

How u feeling today Tansey??

Hi Tansey,

Thinking of you today. You'll be the first to know when I join you in this next cycle. Nicola647 has made a great suggestion which I would love to try. Not so sure my husband would be quite so energetic, but you may be able to give it a whirl. Time to start making plans for this months plan of attack.

DON'T READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR ME WALLOWING!

Right warning over (after all it's my journal).
I was trying to be positive yesterday, ok I was VERY upset that was PG again but trying to look for positives and make plans. Well today full flow did not arrive just worse spotting so three days of it so far - what happened to the vit B6 helping? I even had a big temp dip to confirm it's over!! I am getting back ache and small cramps so full flow must be on the way. (I am looking forward to using my CBFM again although I thought it would get me PG this month - don't believe the hype!)
Second thing is that the job offer from my current job was crap so I will not be staying when the contract finishes in 9 weeks.(I have an interview on THurs and 3/4 applications going in for other jobs)If I was pg i would have stuck it out for the ease of where it is and maternity pay but i'm not so i deserve better!!

BUT girls the worst thing, and this is going to be very hard for you to understand because you would have to know the people and the circumstances involved which is a long story and still won't come across properly in print - my so called best friend EMAILED me that she is 9weeks pg! I was inconsoleable last night and close to tears all day today
Why am i so upset? Not that she is going to have a baby because if she was a proper friend and we were pg together it would be magic!
She is a crap friend and the fact that she emailed me this just sums it all up.
Some points so my story isn't too long:
last year i moved away with OH when he got a promotion so we don't live near. But for the last 6 years, even when i lived near her she hardly rang or called at mine, it was very one way and i've always had to put up with this even though it's not a normal friendship. I felt a fraud when she wanted me to be her bridesmaid. When she is being a friend she is the best! Other friends agree that this is just the way she is. But I am lonely and my family have been through a lot and she just hasn't been there for me or let me be there for her! She doesn't know I'm TTC - no one does, so why email me? Why not ring me? I rang her straight away 31st March when i got engaged - in fact that is the last time i heard from her!!
I've told OH not to try to talk to me about it at the moment because i'm trying to calm down and come to terms with things - i only have him and i don't want to take it out on him. But he did say it's not a race and our turn will come - which i know but if i was pg i would have been so happy i could forgive anything and act like everthing has always been great.
Oh i'll leave it there i sound terrible and i'm getting upset again.
