This is my ttc journal-pray god it is a short one.

I'll start with a wee introduction - I'm Ann Marie, 22 and live with my fiance. Last month we decided that the time was right for us to finally start ttc after my next and so the last few weeks we've just been waiting for her to rear her head (hopefully for the last time if we're REALLY lucky!)

I have had problems with the for quite a long time now-ever since going on the depo injection about four years ago but I didn't know the extent of the problems until I came off the bcp about 2 years ago.

TMI alert to follow but I just want anyone who wants to follow my journal to know the full story...when I first came off the bcp the came and decided she'd like to stay...for 6 months!!! Finally managed to get rid of her after being put on 9 progesterone tablets a day for 3 months.

I then had the opposite problem as once I got rid of her, she didn't want to come back and I didn't have another af for another 4 months. The doctors finally decided that they were gona do some investigating when---just like that---she showed up and since then she has been (relatively) regular.

My cycle dates since last October have been as follows: 34, 36, 35, 49, 57, 43, 36 so they definately seem to be coming with some sort of regularity-the times where it was longer specifically relate to the two months when I had exam stress.

So that's us completely up to date-today is day 35 of my cycle so I have everything crossed that she is going to show up in the next couple of days and if so the Doctor has told me to assume I have a cycle length of 36 days.

Also today I have started to feel some af symptoms which is definately a good sign-bloated, tired and have shouted at poor df twice today so all the normal signs

I have been on BnB for a few weeks now and have been so so so looking forward to getting to this stage and once turns up I can write up CYCLE DATE 1 and get out of this limbo which I feel like I've been stuck in for so long as I waited for my body to regulate before trying.

So that's about all for now-if you've managed to read to this stage u've done pretty well and I can't wait to share my journey with everyone on hear as I have seen how supportive everyone is of one another and feel proud to be becoming a part of that.

So for now...roll on CD1

Hmm...I'm not sure if this is normal or not as I have only started charting my temp in the last week but I thought it was meant to fall when was due but this morning it went up quite a bit and the still hasn't made her appearance!!

I think it's one of those things-coz I'm thinking about it so much she's staying away and yet when u forget she's due she gets u at the most awkward times!!

any advice as to whether this temp thing is normal or very strange? also any tips as to how to bring her on much appreciated!!

Welcome to Journals here a sprinkle of to get you on your way!

the best time to start charting is either during or just after as your just learning to understand your charts, I personally would use this bit as a practice run (getting used to temping) and start listening to the info in your next cycle. A single temp on it's own doesn't really mean much it's the pattern which will reveal it's secrets!

Good Luck!

thanks girls, well still no sign of so i guess this makes it cd38 for me - df and I last night to see if he could 'get things moving' lol but no luck there either.

Beginning to wonder if the whole temperature problem lies with my thermometer coz today when I tested (at exactly the same time as always) it came up as 35.9 the first time which I thought was great coz it meant a big drop but then I tested 2 seconds later to double check and it came up with 36.4, next two times were 36.1 and 36.2 and then went back to sleep and checked again an hour later and it said 36.5!!!

is this a dodgy thermometer or should I just count the first time and forget about all the others?!

Also...did a test with fmu this morning-no idea why as I KNEW it was gona be a coz last month df and I were either using condoms or withdrawal but just so that I know that the is definately being an old cowbag it came up with a
