Do you have any cheapies? I think they are more sensitive than CB. :)Quote:

Suregena, are you also taking tests PM? You might be missing your peak if you're only testing in the AM... couldn't remember if you were testing multiple times a day.Quote:

I'm still feeling quite crampy... like menstrual cramps. So confusing.
I'm sorry Suregena :( hoping you get some clarity soon!
I'm at a loss. My temps are confusing... my seemingly constantly fertile CM and CP is confusing... my lack of positive OPKs are confusing... and my acheyness is confusing!
Sigh.
:( What supplements are you taking?Quote:

I go for my second U/S scan today... hopefully I can see my little bean today!!! :fingers:
good luck - and have fun :)Quote:

Suregena- I was going to say something similar to kraisy. Why not post a thread on here and see what ladies think. Some are really good at charts.
Good luck Ribbons, can't wait to hear the news!
I was off from the fourms yesterday because of DH's health crisis, so now I gotta catch up on what I missed...
Well, I had a perfect cycle and ovulated about when one would expect you to as I had a 26 to 28 day cycle, then I began swaying in December for a January attempt but the dieting threw my cycle off and I ended up having a 56 day cycle! I stopped swaying when my cycle was going wrong because I am traveling the end of this year so had to time pregnancy around that.Quote:

So, obviously, it is predicting I am going to ovulate on CD28 which seems bonkers to me! But at this rate it may be right! However I am worried about a pregnancy being able to stick with such a late ovulation.
I don't think the ovulation "late-ness" has anything to do with it - I think it's the length of the luteal phase that matters?Quote:

Surgena, how are you temping? Vag or mouth? Are you just taking one temp? Are you waking and getting up for any reason? Temping at the same time each morning before you move out of bed at all?
I am wondering if FF is predicting O on cd28 because it basing it on that 56 day cycle? Maybe you should exclude them from your cycle statistical calculations (averages). It might move you O up as FF uses past cycle info to interpret your charts. You could un-check "In stats" on your cycle list and see if that changes your chart?
What setting do you have your FF on? Advanced, Fertility Awareness, Research, or OPK/Monitor/OVWatch? Changing these around might help as well.
I temp every morning around 5.30am when my alarm first goes off without moving much except to grab the thermometer on the bedside table which is right by my face. I take my temp orally.
I would use a Basil thermometer vaginally. It is way more accurate and you don't have to worry about keeping your mouth closed while you sleep.Quote:

Isn't it too late to start using it that way now? If not, I will.
I am not sure how much of a difference vaginal temping would have on your current chart. You might want to keep the oral temping this month and if you don't get a BFP then do the vaginal.Quote:

Did you play with the settings on your FF?
Play with the settings? In what way?
I said this in an earlier post, but you may not have seen it, have you done this?Quote:

Hi there surgena and other may ladies! I come on line everyday to check on you all! Like a friendly stalker! So many positive bfps! Its fantastic.
I am in a very strange place myself- i have been using an ovacue which detects the maturation of the dominant follucle anx predicts the fertile window from there. i was meant to ov last saturday but started using opk smiley tests just to be really certain...but found no lh surge! I have been in touch with ovacue who say that either i am not ovulating or else am very delayed. i guess i am worried and confused . i was so excited when i saw my fertile window on the minitor. i realise vitex and sp can delay ov so have stopped these and last month my period was a week late so i am hoping to ov soon...still using smiley faces but nothing! I guess the wait is hard and for me not knowing if i will ov is so hard!
Just got back from scan.... gestational sac and yolk sac detected inside uterus! It's only measuring 5w2d though... that's at least 4 days behind what I thought it would be, not sure if that's significant or not? I thought I was 6 weeks today... but I do have longer cycles and ovulate a little later, so maybe that's what's throwing it off. No h/b yet - too early - but so excited to see the sac where it's supposed to be!!
:running:
This is great Ribbons..YAY!!!!
I think the number of days its measuring etc...it is totally fine..you probably ovulated a little later than you thought.
Good NEWS Ribbons!!! :)Quote:

Perhaps... but what is crazy is I got my first faint positive at 10DPO... according to these new numbers, it would have been 6DPO!!! I didn't think that was possible!Quote:

Oh my God... my freezer full of new food has died. :(
If I weren't on the diet, I could help not waste some of it! ARGH! ARGH! ARGH! What a nightmare...
Suregena, oh NO!! Can you cook a lot of it and stick it in the fridge, refreeze later when you get it fixed?? That has happened to me before, sucks SO bad.
With DD#5 I got my first faint BFP at 6dpo and I was 100% sure on my O date!Quote:

A lot of the stuff I just should NOT go near were okay... go figure.
I have a feeling these cookies are going to ruin my sway! The freezer did this ON PURPOSE! I told my husband that he MUST take pretty much all of them with him to work tomorrow, because I cannot walk by them. I tried. It doesn't work! My will is weak.
Sigh.
Great News Ribbon! Must have been so good to see your little bean on the screen :)
Wow - a 6DPO positive! Don't they say girls implant earlier then boys?? Exciting!
Oh that sucks suregena! BUt don't stress about the cookies! A couple of cookies is NOT going to impact your sway :)
Haha, I actually lost a little weight this morning... *phew*
I made my husband take those defrosted (due to broken freezer) homemade cookies to work with him. They're trouble!
What happens with delayed ovulation? Does a ready egg just sit there waiting for the right hormones combination to bust out? Does the delay make them less likely to be any good? Or do they wait and sort of suspend themselves before they complete growing to have one be released?
My temperature is no more clear this morning! I know I will O SOME time, I just give up knowing when, as my husband is fine with just DTD now every day until we are sure one way or the other.
Suregena- so confusing! Good job losing! Perfect time :). Also great getting cookies out of the house that's what I would have done too!
Awesome ribbons! Happy for u. Don't know if i already posted that ;)
My attempts are done. Wooohoooo! Hope it was enough. If it worked my due date will be valentines day. Pretty cool!
Hope - yay!! A valentine baby would be soooo cool. Fingers crossed for you!!
Still negative OPK. I have ONE left... and then, that's it... I'll just have to wait on temps to rise to confirm anything. My husband is again working away this weekend, so we got more attempts in last night and this morning... and then it won't be again until tomorrow night.
I have never DTD so much in such a span of time in my life...
