1 day DPO and in need of buddies :)

Thanks girls! At first i was getting so frustrated because it wasn't showing up then i couldn't see the BD schedule on there and realized you can't unless you are VIP. Ugh! Whatevs. At least i have something to look at as far as temps go. Pretty excited i must say! Hope you girls can shed some light on it for me because i have no idea what #'s mean lol.

Jess sounds like you had a terrific weekend! I love having a little drink to go with the nice warm sun! Especially if it's ICE cold, mmm! Hope you had fun! Are you TTC this month? If so, we will be buddies! I think i am 1 day behind you!

Sam how is that beanster?!?! Is it brewing up a storm in there? Any new symptoms?

Kels where are you my love?! Miss you so very much. What are you doing to keep your mind off of TTC? Is it making you feel any better?

Lindsay how did the wedding dress shopping coming along? When is your next doctors appt?

Mel :wave: hiii hunny!

AFM i had a good weekend. Got wayy too drunk Friday night like i said. Had a very bad first half of my day Saturday from the hangover, but then got everything accomplished around the house that i needed to do! Then today i just sat around with the windows wide open. Was 75 degrees here!! Going to be like this all week. It sucks because i'll be stuck at work! wahh!!! Oh well. I am just so pumped up to be charting temps. It's new to me and makes me feel like a 'fresh' start. I haven't been taking my prenatals for a few months :dohh: going to start taking them again. It's just so hard for me to remember things. UGH! Hope i can remember what i'm learning at work! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! xoxo
 
I can't believe it's Monday morning already! :( Ohwell!! We had a nice weekend - saw some friends and had some dinner with my family last night. We picked up my friends wedding dress - so gorgeous! she's going to look amazing!

Rach - so glad you got a BBT! I think you'll find it nice to chart, it always made me feel like I had some control/understanding of what was going on.

Sam - I had that feeling of being hungry but not wanting to eat at the same time, definitely very normal and a great sign!! :) I had backaches too, they scared me like crazy but everything worked out ok!

Jess - I definitely will! DH would absolutely love that! It's hard to get DH out of the state of Maryland, though, ugh! lol

Kelsey - hope your shower went OK, I saw some pics on facebook, looks like it was a good time.

AFM - Since I've been able to feel the little guy moving around in there I get nervous when one day he moves more than others and I've read a lot on it lately and I guess it's really normal this early to feel him move a lot one day and only a little the next as he might be facing a different way, and he's not that big yet, etc etc. So, that takes away another reason for me to freak out, lol.

Hope you guys have a good day!
 
Ugh this morning i forgot to take my temp as soon as i woke up. I went pee and then as i was sitting on the toilet i remembered. So, the temp today isn't accurate but it will do. Ughhh it's Monday. WAH!!! I want to go back to bed....

Lindsay awh! I bet it's an amazing feeling to feel him move around! So happy for ya hunny!! I can't wait until he's here!! He is going to be very handsome and very spoiled!
 
Honestly Rach its better to temp before you get out of bed but I've done it both ways and you still get an idea of what's going on. My first cycle I temped I did it in the bathroom as soon as I got up and then I was better and did it before I got out of bed in the morning and those were better but really not that different as long as the house wasnt freezing lol. try to get used to doing it before you get up but you can still use the temps when you get up, it just needs to be very quickly after you get up. Lol I think that was a big long ramble sorry! Haha
 
Rachel - I know one of the other ladies I know used to do that as she kept the bbt in the bathroom. I think as long as it is first thing when you wake up and you are consistant. ie temping in bed or in the bathroom then you should be okay.

Thanks Lindsey, feel a bit better now. So I worry throughout 1st tri about some symptoms appearing or disappearing then worry in 2nd tri about movement. This is going to be a long 9 months!!

Hi Jess, Mel and Kelsey - hope you are all okay.

afm - had a bit of a wobble last night, removed a ticker I had done earlier. Boobs not as sore, reduced cramps. Same again today although still slight nausea but only after I had had breakfast but my lines were darker so taking comfort in that. Being at work is also taking my mind off things so maybe I am just not focused in it so much to notice the little things.
 
I wasn't trying to do it in the bathroom. I just forgot and when I was in the bathroom I remembered. my thermometer is in the bedroom. I was like dang it!
 
Sam I'm sure you're fine. I will say a prayer for you hunny. sorry I am at work so can only update quick
 
Thanks Rachel, I will feel better once past AF due day (Wed). We see so many chemical stories on here it make you wonder why you test so early. I am sure things are fine and I feel better now.
 
So great to see that everybody seemed to have a great weekend! Sam, try and just enjoy the pregnancy (I know, so impossible for us to do especially having had losses). If your lines keep getting stronger, then hopefully you won't have to worry about a chemical. I think with a chemical it never really gets darker, does it? I guess what do I know, but you're fine! :) When do you have your first appointments? My Dr. also does not do any blood tests or anything until the first us, although they said I could come in as early as 6 weeks for an us if I wanted (usually they make you wait until 10 weeks).
Rachael, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU GETTING YOUR THERMOMETER!!!! This week is just a proud week for you, starting your new job, insurance and YOUR THERMOMETER!!! I can't wait to watch your chart, and then we'll know once and for all if you're ovulating, and when you ovulate. Once you have that figured out, you'll be PG in no time! I have a walgreens thermometer. That'll be nice with the built in memory because then you can just go to bed after and read the temp later if you want to. Just make sure you're temping the same time every morning, because at least for me my temp varies a lot if I take it later or earlier (this whole daylight savings thing made my temps drop hugely). I really need to get a new ticker like you guys that shows what CD I'm on. Will hafta work on that later. Oh and as far as understanding you temps, probably won't really be able to tell until you officially ovulate and then you'll be able to see right away what we're talking about. Can't wait to help you with it, I love BBT'ing! And yah for all your new work clothes! A great deal feels AWESOME. So obviously there was no mention of your previous job and you're just in the clear! What a relief!
Lindsay do you plan on breastfeeding? That's supposed to snap you back into shape pretty quick! Although since I think you said you were pretty active before you became PG you'll have no issues getting right back into shape. Can Kirk feel him move yet??
Everybody talks about Jessie's boat pics on facebook, but I never see them! I'll have to actually go on your page and change the setting so that I see all of your posts, instead of whatever they automatically set it at. I wanna see the pics and drool :)
AFM, weekend was super busy, and we had great weather yesterday--65 degrees! That's awesome for here! sucks I was stuck inside at a shower all afternoon, but I still got to enjoy about an hour of it. Got some cleaning done with the windows open---nothing better (well there's a lot better, but when it comes time to clean, it's best if you can do it with the windows open). The shower I handled much better than the last one. I think because this shower I wasn't surrounded by a bunch of PG girls all talking about their pregnancy. I've been debating back and forth in my head about BD'ing once or twice this week, won't use preseed or anything, and just see what happens. If it's meant to be it'll be. I've read so much about it, and it seems a lot of dr's recommend their patients to BD as much as possible the same month as their HSG because they're most fertile then. Others say that there's a greater risk of ectopic. I'm just so torn, and I'd be devasted if I had an ectopic all because I was impatient. So who knows?! Even though it seems like I'm stressing, I'm actually just kind of whatever about it. If I woke up tomorrow and realized my temps were up and I OV'd I'd be fine and I guess there wouldn't be a decision for me to make!
 
Kels - that is so what I was like in Jan, do we or do we not.? I was just waiting for the bloods to be done never mind any potential increased risk, so Ican understand your hesitation. All I wanted was to see a temp rise and know that I wouldn't have to make that choice any more. I will say that once ov occurs and you haven't 'tried' then it was a big weight off my shoulders. :hugs:
 
Rach - I don't think your BDing schedule on FF is only on the VIP. Just log when you BD and it should show up when you look at your chart. Are you entering your data on your phone, computer or both? Also, like the other girls said, just try to take your temps about the same time every day. If you don't realize until much later I don't think you should bother entering it because it might affect your chart.

Lindsay - I bet that is so exciting to feel the little guy moving!!! How is your baby room coming along? Would love to see some pics.

Sam - its so hard when you get your BFP early isn't it!!??? Time seemed to drag for me until my first appt. Will your doctor monitor you more closely this time?

Kelsey - I think you should just go with the flow this month and just let whatever happens happen. Maybe there will be no pressure this month and that will help.
 
No, I think my temps have just been super low because of Daylight Savings time! But, I guess we'll find out in the next couple days! My cervix though still feels kind of firm and closed, so I'm thinking I'm still a couple days away. Maybe not though!?
 
OMG FINALLY! bNb is back!!! I was having withdrawals all damn day! LOL. I'm so happy because now my mood thing is back. It's been frozen to where i couldn't change it for months! There' still the uploading picture thing that doesn't work for me... ugh!

Anyways, im going to try and remember to temp same time every morning. I hope i don't forget. This morning all i did was sit up in the bed, stood up and went to the bathroom and while i was on the toilet i realized i forgot. So i went back into the bedroom, laid on the bed and took my temp. So it was all within 2 mins of waking up. Is that okay? I'm going to try to do it before i even get out of bed, but i had just forgotten this morning.

I am so tired for some reason. So ready for bed..... can't wait for the friggin weekend!!!!

Kels i bet giving up O time has got to be hard. I couldn't imagine. I say do what you think is best. Whatever is meant to be will find a way! Please help me with my chart LOL. I prob won't O for another like 10+days.

Sam are you tryin to calm the nerves down? i hope you're doing okay and feeling tons better.

Mel, Jess, Lindsay :wave: hiii girls! Hope you're doing okay! <3
 
Omg I was the crazy lady hitting refresh every 2 min to see if.it was back! I almost facebooked you all Cuz I missed you!
Rach babes I will help you with your temping fo sho! I think we're all excited to help you :) I can giggle thinking of you sitting on the toilet realizing you forgot to temp :) It'll take a lil bit before it becomes part of your daily routine.
 
Morning ladies! I am so missing my hour from daylight savings time! DH had to practically drag me out of bed this morning and I'm still moving slowly! I had yoga again last night - I wish they had it more times a week and it wasn't so expensive! I can only really afford once a week but it's so so nice! I ordered my bridesmaid dress for the wedding I'm in yesterday. I got it one size bigger than I usually wear more for boob area than belly as I hope to shrink back to relatively normal within 3 months - it'll be my motivation!

Rach - I remember the first time that I remembered to take my temp before I got out of bed - I was so proud of myself! I used to always forget too and would end up taking it while I was peeing. The only thing you have to remember is on the weekends if you sleep in, your temp will probably be different if you don't take it at your usual time. I usually wake up when I'm supposed to get up anyway and would just take my temp and go back to sleep but if you don't it might be a little different.

Kelsey - I think you guys should just not think about it and if you want to BD then BD, and if you don't, then don't. Let what will be, be! It might be just what you need regardless of whether you get PG or not :) That's what DH and I did the first time we got pregnant and we got pregnant straight away. Oh, and DH felt the little one move for the first time two days ago, it was so exciting!

Jess - you going to be back to trying again next month like you thought?? It is cool to feel the baby move, but it's of course turned into one more thing to worry about. He moved a lot yesterday, so I was happy about that. He was doing yoga with me :P

Sam - how you doin, hun??? When is AF day? I hated waiting for that day but don't worry! if your test are getting darker, you're fine! chemicals start fading very quickly I think!

Have a great day ladies!!
 
Thanks girls! I actually remembered this morning LOL. I kept waking myself up throughout the night, worrying about it. lol.

Have a great day everyone!
 
Hi Rachel - I did that for the first month and still do sometimes,especially in teh 2ww!

Lindsey - cd28 tomorrow so tomorrow/thursday when AF should have been due. In Nov I got BFP 12dpo, lines getting darker (although never as dark as I got today!!) it was after 14dpo that my lines started getting lighter. In some ways I want to keep testing so then I might know but maybe I should have faith that it will all be okay. I do feel more positive about this one, more than my other 2 pg's so I'm hoping that means something. I want to do a digi tomorrow and see if I get a 2-3, I hope so

Kelsey - I felt the same, wondering if I could see people on FB!! Argh! difficult to tell whats going on with regards your temps. Have you decided what you re going to do?

Hi Jess and Mel!!
 
Morning girls!

Rach - you are cracking me up! You will get the hang of the temping in no time so don't worry. In fact, like the other girls said, after a while you will looking forward to taking it. The weekends can be tough but if you are starting to wake up just take your temp and go back to bed. Mine shows the last temp taken the next time I start it up (but it only shows for about a second so you have to look quick when you are read to get that temp). Also the big thing is remembering to take your thermometer with you if you are going to be away. I have forgotten it several times.

Sam - I saw your pics in your journal!! They look awesome. You are giving me some hope too (I am also 38) so you better keep this one cookin"!!!

Lindsay - this time thing has been awful!!! I usually get up at 5:45am so now its 4:45am!!! Ugh! I like your thinking with the dress!!! I can't remember if you said this or not but will you breast feed? Yes, I should be back to TTC next month as long as I get clearance from my doctor. I need to get the progesterone and see how the whole monitoring thing is going to work with my trip. I don't know, I have a feeling now that he might tell me to wait.

Kelsey - Did you stay up and what the Bachelor last night!!?? Omgosh it was crazy. I am sort of thinking those 2 are made for eachother. They are both so odd!!!

Mel - How are you doing today girl?

AFM - I am home today. My grandfather-in-law's funeral is this afternoon. We are having the family over afterwards so I am trying to do a bit of cleaning up around the house this morning. Chris and I bought a 4 bedroom house when we got married (planning for kids etc) and now I just hate to have all this space. Even the rooms you don't use get dirty and I hate having to clean the house!!!! ugh! off to start my chores, I will check in with you girls later!
 
Hiya girls:- Back from St Mary's and we saw Lesley Regan. In a nutshell she said ABSOLUTELY NO to IVF and that it in no way improves the live take home baby rate and best news ever... WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT TO TRY AGAIN, SHE SAID THIS MADE NO DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER!!! And I have an "Excellent" chance of being successful next time. :cloud9::cloud9::cloud9: So we've decided to go with the steroid therapy etc and try on our own. She said she is sure my af will come back and just now I had some pink spotting on toilet paper (maybe because my misery has suddenly lifted!) Today is a good day!! :yipee:
I know kels about the withdrawal symptoms from here!!! it was awful :haha:
Sam this will be your forever baby I just know it!!! :yipee: :yipee:
Jess - so sorry about your grandfather in law :cry:
lindsay - yay for weddings and bridesmaid dresses! how lovely, you'll shrink back don't worry - hopefully not in the boob area though!
Rach - temp taking is a pain sometimes but it does give a good overall picture. Check mine out in the first half of my cycle - I was too lazy to be bothered to take it at the same time so they look like icycles but it was just about ok to interpret!!
