hiya ladies. I'm ok. CD24 and still not ovulating - but will just plod along with it. I'm actually not surprised if my last few cycles are anything to go by. Seems to be every second month I take AF although still dont think I am ovulating at all. Lynn, I agree with the walking. I am not a "gym" person. We have been walking loads, rain,hail or shine. Been very cold here, 37 this morning but that's slightly warmer than we have had recently. Very frosty and icy this past few days. The sun is shining which cheers me up anyhow. Dont you just hate those grey, dull, dreary days where the sun doesnt shine at all. Gets you down. Nicole - glad the snow has come and gone. We have not had a lot of snow this winter. We usually get loads around February so hopefully its not on its way. Kristie - thanks for the funnies, cheered me up no end and thanks for the pic - it was lovely, you look great!!! Stephanie - how are you doing? You O'D yet? Lynn, changes in temp? Hope its a good sign. I haven't a clue but Stephanie will know. Stephanie - you are the expert. I will be temping next cycle so you will be very busy charting for us all. Its breakfast time here - off for coffee - wish you could all join me. Best go and get dressed - start of another day. Hope you all have a good one, talk soon x

oh yeah I forgot - Kristie my birth date is 23rd November

its me again!!! Stephanie - I was just reading your first post and you say that your doc told you that you will only be fertile 6months of the year. It seems that I am skipping months before AF shows. My cycles have been long - the last one at 54 days which is nearly 2 months - then I too will only be fertile 6 months of the year if in fact I am ovulating - which I do not think I am. SOrry if i am being confusing! Just trying to figure out whats going on with my cycles at the moment

hey there

forgot, my birthday is feb 4

Sorry ladies...out of commission this weekend, and no school on Monday here.....Sandra my doc said I was "most fertile" every other month due to the one tube.....it was possible for the left tube to pick up the egg from the right ovary, but it was a long shot....so every other month when left was dropping to left is when I was " most fertile".....whatever....Lynn, I think your temps look good....what day was that dip on....I forgot to bring my temps in with me today to give to you...I will tomorrow.....my cycle isn't right this month, I can tell by my chart......friday was cd 14 for me......and I did have a dip and rise this weekend, but I haven't had a 28 day cycle since I don't know when.....and if my cycle is longer this month, ovulation will take place later.....example if my cycle is 34 -36 days normally, I would ovulate right around 16-18.......which is what I had been doing before all these mc's and ectopics reaked havoc on my body........but let's say for some reason my cycle is longer like 40 days, ovu would be until 20-22......where this is my first cycle after mc, I can't tell that yet....hell maybe my body will go back to the 28 day cycle and if that is the case I have missed it.....it is confusing, but when you have charted your temp for as long as I have, and you have two years of them in front of you to look at, you see a definate pattern.....you will be able to figure it all out after couple months....and in the meantime, it keeps you focused on looking for come kind of pattern...keeps me positive........I will bring in temps tomorrow......temp is always lower BEFORE ovulation, so if it is that low, you are going to ovu soon I would guess.......Nicole you sound great......are we sharing our birthdays? Mine is Oct 26, I turned 35(ouch "advanced maternal age") this past...........Lynn keep up with the temping.....I will try to email my chart to you with my line drawn on it so you can see what I mean.....you can see example of women's charts online......remember after ovu temp remains higher than usual until AF again, temp will drop back down to the lower......it will get easier.......FYI, I didn't have lots of that fertile looking egg white mucous this month either, I don't think that is good......talk late YA YA

Stephanie...I had a dip yesterday adn it is back on the rise again. I do not understand all of this. I will e-mail you my dates, temps and you tell me what I can do. I go to RE on Thursday to see if we have any follies growing, how many and if/when ovulate. Sandra...I have irregular cycles also. RE put me on glucophage to help regulate ovulation...do you know anything about that? N, you sound good and hope you are enjoying your freedom. Kristie...you go girl. You look so happy in your shorts and little belly. check back later....

Hey girls! How are we all doing? Its a beautiful mild sunny day here in Bonnie Scotland. Like spring - got wash hanging out in the garden and its blowing just lovely. Lynn, hows your temps going? You making any head way with it. Is it still confusing you? I am going to try that next month although it sounds a bit confusing. I am now on cd25 and still no signs of ovulation whatsoever. Trying to stay positive - not getting me down. I know when my body is ready it will happen. I will be superfit and super thin at this rate. Doctors not keen to try meds as I stupidly said i had only been trying for a few months. She said it can take a year for some couples. What worries me about meds is multiple pregnancies. I dont want to be greedy! One more baby is just fine for me. Leave some for others hehe. Been reading through some of the old posts on here. Whatever happened to MHicks? Going now to collect kids from school. Talk to you later, Ya Ya

Hey Sandra....Am I still confused about this temping thing....I sure am. I can temp just right but I am not sure I know what I am looking for before it is too late and I missed the Oing time. I am a very visual person and need an explanation whiloe looking at something. Reading what to do it just not doing it for me. Making dinner so need to get it done before hubby goes to work. I go to RE tomorrow so we will see how this femara did in my system.

I girls....my temps are all over the place this month...figures.....just when I had you thinking I knew what I was doing.....bad month for me.......I am not thinking I ovulated this month, which could not be good....but oh well....my temp is still real low for cd20....and I told you i didn't see any eggwhite mucous.....fertile stuff.........Lynn key is to bd when temp is low low low.....and after ovu, if you did, temp will shoot up.......you will get used to it...just keep writing down the temps.....let us know how doc visit went......Kristie....had some more crown last night, thought of you.....I seem to be doing that a lot more than usual for me.......can't get into that habit.....I don't know what happened to Mhicks, hope all is ok........weather here has been weird....gotta go...spelling bee.....YA YA

hiya sisters, ok cd27 for me and still no signs of ovulation or AF so what's going on with my body? Stephanie - your temps all over the place too. Looks like one of those months where nothing goes the way you want it to. Lynn how you getting on with the temping? Making any sense of it yet? Kristie - how you doing hun? Feeling better? Nicole - what you up to? What's everyone doing this weekend? I have my brother coming for a few days so probably wont get a chance to talk to you all this weekend. Hope you have a great one whatever you are all doing. Talk soon x

my temps are whacked this month...never been like that before.....as far as I can tell, no ovu at all, and that is not good......oh well.....sitting around wondering when AF will show....I have kids basketball games all weekend...busy busy busy....I probably won't be on again til Monday.....thinking of you all.....talk again soon......Ya Ya

hey girls, keeping busy. my husband owns a garage door business and we have lots of homeshows coming up. weather is 55 today!! i hope spring is coming. Going back to work on Mon. I am excited, i am getting bored. Feeling pretty good.

Nothing new to report. I am still temping but nore or less just writing them down to learn what to do. I think I am going to O soon due to CM but not that I understand the temp thing. I consider this my learning month. Talk to y'all later.

Hey there girrlies. I have been a little busy these past few days. My moma is coming over today to bring me a sewing machine and go pick out some simple patterns so I'm no so bored. I am glad she is coming. I am getting started on packing up my CPR stuff for my trips. I've felt pretty good this week just getting bigger by the hour it feels like. Oh and it's getting pretty hard to have a full nights sleep but alot of it has to do with my husbands SNORING it is driving me crazy!!! Every night this week I have been woke up by him atleast 4 or 5 times and he says he never really hears me wake him up or that he doesn't remember me waking him up (whatever) anyway He has always snored but I think I hear it more these days. The other night I fell asleep around 8:30pm and by 11:00 he had started snoring. I shook him a little bit and he stopped for a sec. then he started back and I said COURT!!! really loud and he didn't stop then I said very loudly I am so sick of this Shit!!! He sat straight up and got his pillow and went to the living room. I was like Hell Yeah I finally get the bed and room to myself so I slid over to the middle of the bed and pulled all of my pillows around me and was ready to finally get some sleep but guess what happened?? I did not go back to sleep until 3:30 am. I could not believ it I was Wide Awake!!!! He has tried pretty much everything he puts those strips across his nose he's tried the spray stuff and has even got some kind of pills but nothing works!!He is suppose to make a dr. appt to see what can be done.I was so mad at him all day that day. I know he can't help it but that doesn't make things better. See I've never really been able to sleep during the day but I think I am going to change that. Well I guess I vented on that enough.....Lynn it sounds like a good month for you with your temp. Steph and Sandra I hope yours get straightened out soon. Nicole I am glad to hear you are getting back to work I can vouch for ya here on the Boring days. I have to go do some laundry here so I will be chatting with ya'll later...

Kristie...is was good to hear from you. I can relate to the SNORING hubby. I was reading your post and laughing cuz it sounds just like our house 2 days out of the week. Eric works nights so I sleep alone 5 out of 7 days. The 2 days he is in bed, he snores BAD. If I fall asleep before he does I am okay unless I get up in the middle of the night. Then...I am saying "roll over" UGH!!!!! I feel your pain girl. Sewing...my aunt tried to teach me that years ago but it never caught on for me. My temping has been a learning experience for me this month. Seeing my eggs are growing on my right side (and I lost right tube) it would be a complete miracle if I got pregnant this month. I am finishing the cycle but not holding out much hope this month. Sandra...how is the visit from your brother? Stephanie...DId you win those basketball games? Nicole.....Going back to work....I was glad when I went back after my surgery but now I could use a break. Best of luck....what do you do Nicole?

hi ladies! Hows everyone? Lynn - hope you're now o'ing and getting ready to bd like crazy! Have fun girl!!! Stephanie- hows your temps now? Settled down any? Its cd30 for me and no signs of anything other than my sheer frustration!! Brother's visit was good. Was great to see him, he stays around 350 miles away - a good 6 hour drive so dont get to see him as often as I would like. Its just me and him - no other siblings! Nicole - glad you are feeling better and going back to work. Being in the house all day sure does get boring after a while. Kristie - I can relate to the snoring! Terry snores constantly and we have also tried everything. He smokes so I dont think that helps. My friends hubby had an op to sort the problem. He was actually stopping breathing during it and the snoring was waking him up or he may not be alive now. Usually I lie awake for hours while terry snores his heart out and i usually kick him, elbow him, shout at him - usually to no avail whatsoever. One of us usually ends up on the sofa. Certainly explains why i am so tired most of the time. Very cold here, today ice on ground, car is covered in ice. around 28 here. very chilly. Kyle is not at school today - his asthma got him again - he has very sore chest. Cold weather seems to trigger it, so I am nursemaid today. Anyways best go and see to the patient. Talk tomorrow x
