TTC GIRL- MAY 2012

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.

What about keeping it clean?!

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.

As far as keeping it clean, there are thermometer covers or you can just wash the tip and use alcohol to clean it. It really is not that bad, but you do have to keep it clean.

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?

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.

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!!

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.

Oooh, how so very complicated! Haha! I will go dig around and see what I can see/do/figure out/uncheck/check/yaddayadda.
