Charting

ok i hate my thermometer. its a "bodicheck" brand normal digital one from the chemist. and i just took my temp 4 times.
35.8, 36.1, 36.5 and then 35.9

damm thing is so variable. and i did it the same each time and waited till it beeped to say its done. and didnt move when doing it, and held it still

the thing is it is new. it has been used twice before i started charting. and i only charted 3x last month and then used it 5x today.

maybe the batterie has gone flat even without using it? My camera batteries seem to do that all the time.

My first thermometer I bought was a bit dodgy so I ditched it and bought a new one. Is it digital? May sound like a silly question but I got duped and talked into buying a "special" mercury ovulation thermometer. I know have a proper one which I bought from oracle and it works really well, apart from giving me low temps when I don't want them that is!

Is it like that when you take your temp in the morning? I have never temped during the day so maybe because you awake and doing stuff so it can change easily. Who knows. I say if it's still like that after a few days of taking your temp in the morning you should get a new one otherwise you will always question the reading it gives you.

Thanks asicsgal, onwards and upwards I say, happy days from here on in

I'm on it! Warm fuzzies here we come!
Name suggestions anyone?

well said asicsgal..i think we should all just move on now, as you said. we are here for each other and that should be all that matters. lets just go back to what we were doing and try to put this all behind us ok?

sorry oxy missed your post was out going for a walk and youre gone now but fx you ov soon!

Bobsta im still getting used to your avatar lol i keep thinking "ooh whos that?" lol then i realise its you

MO try not to take your temp during the day, itll just drive you mad... your temp can fluctuate wildly during the day for almost any reason! mine does that too- i can take my temp a few times in a row sitting in the same spot and it can be a bit different each time.. the only ones that matter are when you have just woken up after more than 3 hours of sleep, and you havent got out of bed or anything.. so id not worry about what its doing now and take your temp in the morning...
but i do suggest getting a BBT one, itll make your temp patterns on your chart so much clearer..

and as for scan pics- i have absolutely no problem with anyone sharing them- gives us hope and reminds us of what we are striving for i like them anyways! especially when some of us have been ttc for so long, for them to feel like they cant come and share the good news would be really sad..i mean, on the clomid thread some ladies on there have been TTC for as long as 6 YEARS yet they still manage to be happy for one another and share scan pics etc when they happen and celebrate the good times..surely we can too??

but ill leave that topic alone now..just my opinion anyways.. id hate for this thread to become "sterile"

just lettin ya all know ive changed my nickname...to something better than my regular name lol. thought i might start being a bit more anonymous, plus, id just like a change..but my avatar stays coz its cute

hey all

Sounds good bobsta

H - oh no i hate it when that happens

Mucky one - i suggest getting a BBT it is alot more accurate and able to pick up lil changes in temp

pleanty of Bdin i think looking at my chart FF got rid of my lines after i entered my pos OPK

I totally missed this
Had to check what Kelz was referring to, sorry H! I recall Tarns used to say that either her or DF were always sick at ov time too. We were grumpy last time but that was because we did it too much and got sick of each other, lol!

ETA: Kelz if I was you I would keep BD'ing JIC
