[Lassie1982]

can i get some help with my chart please??

could do with your expert advice....

when do you think i ovulated?

And why are my temperatures so rubbish? They are not climbing high at all?

FF currently has it pinned on day 12
HOWEVER if i change the interpretation method it changes it to cd14

when do you think i ovulated????

I have had a lazy month this month so didn't check CP and CF

would love all your thoughts

Hello ladies,
I'm going to be a September swayer too. After much deliberation - I've only been on the diet for 2 weeks - I've decided to not give this month a miss. I lost 6lb in the first week so I'm hoping that the shock of the diet will help sway pink. We've been trying to conceive for a year now after a long cut-off and strict IG diet wasted so many months. I'm on cd8 now and likely to be on the diet for 3 weeks altogether before I ov. I was thinking of missing this month out to give myself 6 weeks on the diet but after losing so much weight so quickly, I don't want to risk losing loads more as I don't have lots to lose! Here's hoping we all get lovely pink BFPs!

We were also going to wait to October to make sure I would have been on the diet for 6+ weeks but also decided to try in Septemeber now I will have only been on the diet for about 4 and a half weeks and I've had a few cheats in the beginning but I'm trying to be as strict as I can now! Really hoping for a BFP this month! I hate dieting lol!!! Good luck yo you

todays temp still doesn't help
I don't know whats going on in my body - but whatever it is, it isn't good - those temps are typical pre ovulation temps...

Sorry Lassie, I've never done any temping. I'd be useless trying to figure out your chart! I've got my +opk, so we'll be getting it on tonight! FX for all of us September swayers

Good luck to you too CVD. I'm a bit worried as we haven't managed FR at all this month - my hubby works shifts and is real need of a holiday, so is exhausted! - neither abstaining, very infrequent instead. I'm on cd12 and think I'll ov late this month, maybe around cd19/20. Should I go for abstaining then compressed FR at OPK+ or try for FR then compressed FR at OPK+ between now and then although it may not be a full 7 days if I ov earlier? Can the saw p make your af longer than usual? TMI, sorry, but I have still had a tiny bit of brown cm today, when usually it would be over by cd8-10 at very latest! With regards to the frequency question, my hubby's going through his "why can't we just stop at two?" questioning again and I'm treading on thin ice, so don't really want to push my luck! (He's 31, hopefully not too old to abstain) Thank you for any advice!! How's everyone else getting on?

I'm still fairly new around here so I can't really help with your questions! And I'm not taking SP so I'm not much help at all lol - but we are doing abstain with multiple attempts from +opk until o is done. I personally think abstain is easier! My DH is 26 so we could go either way but FR to me seems like a lot of pressure haha! But I guess you definitely need him 100% committed to abstaining.
As for how we are getting on, I am on CD8 right now. I will most likely get a +opk on CD14 so we are getting incredibly excited!!! We are only on our 3rd day of abstaining, so far all is going well! I am going to use rephresh, and maybe antihistamine depending how much cm I have near our attempts
Can't wait to get back to eating burgers

Hmmm seems like CD 14 is right with the positive OPKs. And that seems right around your typical O day right? Do you have any CM right now?

AFM - pos OPK today for me as well! I am super excited as my last cycle I Od in CD 35 and it's only CD 21 today. Thing is, we just got back from Hawaii and I wasn't following any sort of diet there except for no red meat. I even had more than normal of other white meats and I ate a ton of fish! Hmm...not enough reason for me to skip out. I am considered one of those "lazy swayers" anyways. Last cycle I did only one attempt, using Rephresh and DH taking licorice. This time we are going to BD when we can, DH will start licorice tonight (though I'm sure it's too late) and probably won't be doing the Rephresh since I didn't have it on board already. Sounds like a terrible sway but we're running short on our timeline and I don't want to wait another 6 weeks!

Hi Ladies, I am September swayer too. Did first attempt last month but AF arrived yesterday so here we go again. Have been on diet for about 2-3 months now but have been pretty bad in the 2WW. Just couldn't continue with it. Am back on it now but finding it hard to skip breakfast again. Am eating it later than normal but not missing it altogether. Only CD2 for me so awhile to go. Haven't decided on timing yet so will be interested to see what everyone else is doing.

Wishing you all good luck for the month.

CVD - sounds like you're doing really well! After last night, we'll be doing FR with compressed FR at OPK+ but not right through O as I'm not comfortable with that. I conceived both boys on Ov day. We'll go up to day before O. Abstaining just doesn't feel quite right to me as that's near enough to what we did with both boys, only BDing twice at the most from AF-O. I'm more comfortable with FR.
I hope the saw p hasn't messed my cycle up, is it usual to get brown cm with it up to cd13 anyone?
LO123 - welcome to the thread, hope this is your month!

Hellllllllllp! My cm had been stretchy and clear but not globby in previous days.


Er.... my cm is globby and very stretchy but streaked with yellow and a mix of cloudy and clear.... I had some quick ovary pains several days ago but today I am ACHING, especially my left, big time.

My cp is high today but sort of medium on feeling open and firmness.... whereas the last few days it was about medium in height but soft/open.

And the kicker?? I had a temp spike today! :/ what's going on??
