@alison206: I'm sorry you got another neg. I also like your chart better with the different O date. I'd even be wondering if it was one day later than that.
@evenstar982: Welcome! I have no bcp insight for you - just wanted to say hi!
-
@alison206: There is that.
But I think your chart is very pretty, and you have nothing to worry about.
-
@grace @april_showers @spaniellove: thanks girls
I don't know what I'd do without you!
-
@Alison206 Did you not use OPKs this cycle? I think either CD 22 or CD 23 seems likely for O date, which makes you only 12 DPO!
-
@trailmix: Nope, we didn't use OPKs this month. They make me crazy and cranky!
-
Ahh I wish I got notifications when this thread got updated! It's hard to keep up.
-
@spaniellove: I'm not getting notifications either!
-
@April_Showers: thanks for the reassurance!
I have given in (yes, already!) and transferred all my data to FF now I'm at home (seems a bit NSFW to be doing that in the office!)... here's my FF chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3ec68aCan somebody explain please if the FF 'buddy' system is available to free subscribers or only VIP members?

@evenstar982 I just went off birth control and charted the first month. I am on my phone and cant post the link to my chart but it is further back in this thread. I O'd on CD25 so this has been a long cycle. Looking at your chart I think you are getting ready to O soon.
@allison206 From everyone's feedback it sounds like your chart looks great with the new O date. Sending baby dust!
I will try and read up on everyone's posts later tonight. I've been out a few days so havent had a chance yet. I'm 10 dpo so will continue testing the rest of the week!
-
@HappyJax: thanks! Found your FF chart link with a bit of a trawl back through this thread; glad to know there are lots of other ladys out there charting right off BC!
-
Hey ladies- been away all weekend, lots of posts to catch up on...
@alison206: hang in there, we're all rooting for your BFP

@happyjax: the real test will be tomorrow since that is when AF is due. Fingers crossed for a high temp and a BFP!
-
@JennKam: So exciting to see a west coaster on here. I swear everyone has posted and replied before I'm even up in the morning, lol.
-
@jennkam @ambular1025: I feel the exact opposite! I feel like I'm up before everyone and posting before work and no one is alive for hours!
-
@Alison206: So I guess we ideally should all live in the midwest then, because both coasts kind of suck for communicating on here during the weekdays.
-
Hi everyone! I'm home from vacation!
@alison206: love the new O date, and makes a lot more sense. Let's see what happens tomorrow.
I am pretty sure I O today - got a peak on the monitor yesterday and today, OPK was + yesterday and - today, temp spiked a bit today... but I don't know that we'll be able to BD today
we have 3 of the last 4 days though so I won't worry too much if we can't. I also feel like I'm up before everyone else!
I'm on the east coast and have to be at my desk by 7:30am. I temp at 5:15am usually so it gets recorded super early. -
@alison206: @JoJoGirl: @ambular1025: Im in the central region. I get up early and temp, and then I go back to sleep. I don't have a set schedule at work so I get up when I feel like it. So I don't quite make it out of bed before 8:00 here. So when I get up and temp no ones up yet, and when I get up to start the day, everyone's up and I've missed the conversation. ;).
-
@jojogirl: How exciting! Let's hope the monitor is gonna bring you a baby this month. 3/4 days is plenty I'm sure.
@April_Showers: I used to temp and go straight back to bed for an hour, but now I get up, temp, and then hellobee, lol. It's the only way I can be a part of the conversation...and I find it helps me to slowly transition to getting up in the morning.
-
@ambular1025: I would if it was only an hour. DH gets up at 5 to go to work and always wakes me up. So I temp then and go back to sleep for 3 hours.
-
@jojogirl: how exciting!! I'm sure you BDed enough, I wouldn't worry either.
@april_showers @ambular1025: During summer break I would wake up and temp at 6:00am and go back to bed till 9ish. When I woke up people had already commented on my chart. Now that I'm back to work I temp at 7 and start getting ready. If I'm being honest I spend about 20 min of my morning on hellobee.
-
@April_Showers: This has been a huge issue for me too. My husband and I work for the same health system but he often has early morning meetings and I never do. So we try to ride to work together, but some mornings he's that 5am guy too. Luckily I've temped at 5 and gone straight back to bed and taken it again at 6 and the temps don't differ much. I know that doesn't work for some women.
-
@ambular1025: Yeah, I've noticed time doesn't really seem to change my temps. But I think it's because I am awake for a little bit before I am awake enough to think about taking my temp. This cycle seems to be slightly more sensitive than last though, but my temps are also much higher than last month.
-
Brown mucus when I went to the bathroom and wiped. I think I'll be out tomorrow. :'(
-
@spaniellove: @alison206: You only get a notification once after every time you reply. The Bee's decided that it would be too many emails for everyone, if they were notified for every thread update.
@ambular1025: Mwa ah ah ah!! I'm in the midwest (or Canada's version of it, anyways). It is nice to catch both ends of the conversations.
@JoJoGirl: Whohoo! I declare this to be your month!
@evenstar982: I'll try to add you as a friend. And if you can see my chart, you'll know that you'll be able to do it with the free version.
-
@Grace: I have noticed that you seem to comment at the right time, so midwest (-ern Canada) must be good!
-
@ambular1025: Ha! Cause I always go on Hellobee right before i go to bed!
-
@Grace: thanks! It seems to have worked, and its allowed me to add people too but not sure if the feature will remain after my "VIP intro period is up"!
-
Ugh, I am so confused! Thought for sure I'd wake up with AF and I have not. No brown mucus either. So I tested, BFN. And my temp was the same again. Btw, that bothers me how it just stays in a line.
-
@evenstar982: Oh, right! I forgot that you get a free VIP phase. I don't know.
@alison206: My chart often has no temp fluctuations at the end either. Perhaps your body is regulating? Perhaps you have a longer LP than you thought?
-
@grace: your probably right. I'm going to be prepared for AF's arrival all day just incase.
I really think we're going to take next month off from TTC and relax.
-
@Grace: Thanks
hope so! @alison206: Ugh, sorry about another BFN. Well after two days of "peak", my CBEFM was back at 'high' this morning, phew! We squeezed in another BD last night so I think I'm officially in the TWW. This was definitely our best-timed month ever so far. Just crossing my fingers now.
-
@alison206: I've thought of doing that too, but the only way I could think to would be to not chart. And if I do that, then I'll probably drive myself crazy because I'll constantly think I'm late.
-
I hate coming back to find all these AFs from all those pretty charts!!!!!! Sorry ladies
-
@grace @jojogirl I think I'm going to stop charting for a month. Focus on myself. I get so angry and bitter with the BFNs. I should Brit pregnant for gosh sakes! I do need to run all of this by DH. He maynot want to.
-
@alison206: Take time for yourself. Focus on something else - I know you're back in school now so maybe that'll be a distraction. This process sucks
Hugs!
-
@alison206: Sorry about the BFN today. Try not to feel too defeated, your not completely out yet. But if you feel like you need a break, then you need to take care of yourself! Just because your not charting, doesn't mean you are completely not TTC.
@JoJoGirl: Phew thats a lot of high days! Good luck with the TWW.
-
@Alison206: Sorry for the BFN, but no AF. It's really frustrating, I know. Your chart actually looks very similar to mine from last month. I've read that many people get pregnant the second they stop charting and worrying about it, so if you do decide to take a month off, maybe that will be good too.
-
@alison206: so sorry for your BFN. I've been taking this month "off" and so far things have been great. I can't say that I don't still think about TTC, but not charting or using my CBEFM has been freeing. We're headed to our first RE appointment at the end of the month so I figure that we'll start to have answers in the next few months.
Take some time for you...
-
@alison206: I'm so sorry to hear about the BFN! Maybe take a few days to think about how you want to mentally refresh yourself? Some people seem to get that from a month off and decide they really love the break. I've considered that but realized what I really need is the few days around the end of a cycle and AF to stop thinking about TTC. It also helped to refocus on my non-TTC interests because I felt I was losing myself as a person and even starting to put on weight. When it's taking over your life, it's definitely time to change something.
-
Hi charting ladies - can I join in on the fun? This is my second cycle TTC, I've tried to chart before but I was a bit too lazy, so I decided to start this cycle. I'm on CD3 and haven't temped yet but I will begin tomorrow morning. And I wanna catch up, so here!
