Hi,

After feeling very sorry for myself yesterday I went out and bought another OPK and guess what... got a positive! With dh being ill I went home sad that we would miss out on this one but at the same time pleased that I'm functioning properly. Yesterday evening I noticed loads of EWCM. haven't noticed that much since dd was conceived (sorry of TMI!). Bless dh, even with a high temp and feeling very miserable he rose to the occasion anyway! This morning I got an even better line on the opk but my temp hasn't jumped yet so I presume O will happen today (yay!).

Now I normally take my temp at 7am. But this morning I woke very early (5.30am) took my temp and it was 97.3. I fell straight back asleep and woke at 7am and it was 97.7. That's a bigger jump that usual.. should I use the first one and adjust to maybe 97.5? I'm not sure how the whole adjusting thing works. With that big of a jump do you think maybe that was my temp starting to rise after O?

I'm sooo happy that we're still in the game this cycle


P cycle 3 ttc#2, probably O day!

they say to take temp about the same tine everyday so if 7am is when you usally take your temp then go with the 7am one not the 5am one I am going by what I have read on bbt charting so if im wrong anyone please let us know
