I've got about 15-20 minutes to kill, so it's time for a newbie playdate!
Got a TTC question that you're fearful of starting your own post to ask? Want to consult my magic roll of tape for the answer to a yes/no question? Need a good chart stalking? This is a no snark (but yes humor) zone.
And if you haven't signed up for Fertility Friend (but want to) why don't you be a lamb and click my ticker (and then sign up) so that I can get a few days of VIP for the referral. In light of my recent altercation with Fertility Friend's support staff, you can also consider this "sticking it to the man."
Re: It's Newbie Play Date time-C'mon in!
Will I get a hang of this whole charting thing? AF should be coming in the next couple days. Im a bit nervous
YES! (Yay, she's finally behaving!)
Sweet!
Please stalk my chart! I'm not sure I Oed at all.
I think I'm going to ditch my Target BBT after this cycle. I don't think it's accurate.
They are indeed cramps, says the roll of tape (It answered yes to the first portion of your question.)
Sweet!! This is fantastic news
Bah. The tape roll just said no, but I say yes. It took me a full cycle to "get it."
Looks good to me! GL!
I think you did!
FWIW, I think you did. Your chart kinda looks like mine has looked lately (well don't look at this cycle's for reference. It's a hot mess because I was drunk for a good portion of this cycle.)
I don't think you have
Sorry hun. Long cycles suck.
Sorry, Charlie. I don't think you O'd. It looks anov, but you never know--you could still O! Do you have a history of long cycles?
No doesn't look like it to me. Why do you think your thermometer is the issue?
I'm not a fan of my Target BBT either. No backlight and it doesn't save temps. The only thing it's got going for it is that it has some pink on it
I wonder sometimes if mine's not completely accurate too.
We sort them as last reply date rather than original reply date. This way, you see only the most recently active and replied to post. The advantage is you're not replying to posts that are dead and bringing up topics that are already in the past.
I probably wouldn't spend the $$ on it if you have cycles where you've been easily able to predict ovulation. What about OPK's instead? Have you already done that?
Who told you that clomid was for the guy????
I have a ?
This is my first month fully charting (except CP).
Do you agree with FF on my O date?
I know my chances are virtually non-existent though because I've been suffering from a UTI. :-( Just trying to get used to charting.
TIA
Totally did, but was having problems following the links inside the link you sent.
God help me if that makes sense. I swear I can't speak English today.
Predominately rx'd for the female, but sometimes for men too depending in IF dx.
I agree with it
You probably just missed your surge with the OPKs and I bet if you took out the negs your CHs would become solid.
Yes either that day or the 1 before. You definitely O'd though and for your first month, the charting looks good!
Huh... I didn't know they sometimes gave it to the guy too. What is it supposed to do? Increase sperm count?
"Last reply" is the cat's asss! Seriously, it's the only way to go. You can follow what posts are still active because sometimes we stay and play in posts longer than you'd expect.
If you just go by original post, you're getting the new posts, but none of the new replies. If you have it by "last reply" you're getting both mixed together--always the most current info!
Mmmhmmm I got ya lovah.

I?ll go?. I have a newbie question to ask!
This is our first month TTC and I haven?t been charting or temping, etc. Our method this month was basically just have sex A LOT from the time my last period ended until right before my new cycle was due to begin (although, I don?t think we were successful and I will likely be starting FF next month!). We were basically doing it every day. I began to notice that I was bleeding after intercourse, which started about Day 17 of my cycle. And since then, it seems that I?ve been bleeding after intercourse every time (I?m now on Day 26)! Has this happened before to anyone? It?s never happened with me before, but then again we don?t normally have sex this often so I?m thinking it may be from too much practice?
I?m also at work so I?m not ignoring any potential feed back if I don?t respond quickly!
99% of the time it's for women to induce ovulation. Helluva drug because it has all kinds of crazy side effects and really you should only take it a handful of times in your life.
For men, however, I've heard it used as a drug to increase sperm count. But honestly I have no idea how often it's prescribed or how well it works. Not really my area of expertise (but someone can probably jump in and tell us more.)
So don't feel stupid!
I drank it here and there but not enough to see a difference. I usually drank it more because I was having a taste for it, not so much to increase CM, as I get a good amount of EWCM as it is. Sorry I am probably not much help.
You crack me up! I'm so happy, I think I O'd for the first time off BCP.
With MFI it is thought that clomid can improve counts/motility.
Lemon love I still say you might have. I will be stalking your temp tomorrow so don't go waking up early or anything!
My target BBT saves temps.
