[isla 951]

Hey there. I'm 21 and on my second cycle of TTC. Good Luck to all!

 

[youngwife20]

Hi Isla! Good luck to you too! Tell us alittle bit about yourself?

Are you taking any vitamines?
Using any tools ie opks preeseed etc

Hope you are feeling positive!!

 

[MamaDee]

Hi Isla, Welcome :wave:

Kimbre: Yay for the +opk So it generally means you will ovulate within 12-36 hrs, so I wouldn't worry about not seeing the temp rise yet. I actually got 3 days of super dark positives last cycle before finally o'ing on the last day. Then once you do O it can take some time for your body temps to rise. Ideally they say morning after o you should notice the temp rise. I personally have a slower rise and only go up .2 degrees for the fist 2 days after o and then skyrocket and additional .6 degrees at 3dpo. Keep like crazy until you confirm o with the temp rise!

 

[Kimbre]

Thanks Hun! That's helpful I'm hoping I Od today, I felt dull twinges and cramps today and had another (lighter) positive opk. I'm thinking I did O today but I guess we will see.

 

[MamaDee]

Sounds very likely to me that you did o today!! I often get a lighter positive on my o day if I test in the morning, by night time it should be gone. Guess we will soon see Fingers crossed for to find their target!

 

[youngwife20]

Hmm. i keep forgeting lol how long have you ladies been ttc? im on cycle 4.. is there any other things other than opks and temps that you have thought of trying? are you all on vitamines? what about you OH/DH, are they on any vitamines?

So yeh im on cycle 4, and I have been thinking of trying baby asprin also aparently its good to help improve fertility.. not that theres anything wrong with my fertility but a boost cant hurt.

My husband wanted to take vitamines, so hes taking some, he really loves being involved as much as he can! he also has the job of holding my legs in the air for 20 minutes! haaha, how long do you ladies hold your legs in the air? if you do that.

 

[youngwife20]

I heard grape fruit juice helps when trying to concieve so i bought some but it tastes awful!!

 

[Kimbre]

Im taking Prenatal Vitamins now.
and i had a temp rise this morning of 96.80. it hasn't been that high at all. does that mean maybe i O'd??

i just took an OPK and its negative.

 

[MamaDee]

Youngwife20: I'm taking prenatal vitamins as well as evening primrose oil and drinking extra water and green tea. This is to help increase my ewcm as I haven't had much if any since going off the nuvaring and I think that is why it is taking so long to conceive this time as I used to have an abundance of it before. I took ring out in August , but it did take me a while to ovulate again after stopping so I'd say we've been trying since Oct/Nov. You mentioned the Grapefruit juice, it's supposed to help with ewcm so if you've have any problems with that it might help but if you've already got great ewcm every month then it might not do much. But hey, either way it doesn't hurt right! Whatever we can do to get our When are you due to O this month? I'm on cd 9 right now, probably wont o until cd 17-20.

Kimbre: Looks like you definitely may have o'd. If you have 2 more days of higher temps you can confirm it!

 

[Kimbre]

I think I did O I hope I can confirm it with 2 more temp rises!! Also how do u tell if you may be preg with temping? Do ur temps have to stay high or youre not pregnant? Just wondering for future reference lol

 

[MamaDee]

Yes, normally if you're not preg, your temps will drop around 14dpo or how ever long your luteal phase is. "Normal" luteal phase length is anywhere from 13-16 days, but once you figure out how long yours is, it should never vary by more than a day or so. If temps stay up for 18 days, you are almost certainly pregnant

Hey girls wanna look at my chart and tell me what is looking like to you guys? I know it's still pretty early on. Also the huge temp increase is due to a fever from the flu thanks

 

[youngwife20]

Im on cd 14 I think I should be ovulating today.. my opk instruction said for my cycle25/26 days i should start testing day 10 in cycle i started testing day 9 and upto now and still no ovulation! i am not sure if i have lots of cm or not because ive never checked i have just started checking soi will try drinking it as much as i can lol but i try to drink lots of water but i iknow if i drink to much my opk wont show positive if i have to much water in my system!

Doing well thanks

Went to our first prenatal appointment, doctor confirmed my pregnancy. He thinks I'm about 5 and a half weeks along. I go for a full physical on June 21st, then around week 12-14 we'll do our first ultrasound

Been having a lot of symptoms still (mainly morning sickness and sore sides). Picking up the prescription for meds for the morning sickness today as the last few days it's really picked up speed & intensity!

I think the doctor's confirmation has really make this all sink in for us. Approximate due date is December 31st.

Sending lots & lots of baby dust to all your ladies!

The only advice I can give is try not to think about it...I think that's what helped us when we conceived. I had been convinced my fertile time had passed (and we hadn't BD'd much because I wasn't feeling well) so we only actually BD'd 3 times during my fertile period, while the last few months we had done it every day. Maybe it helped that we weren't doing it every day.
