2013!!!!! January Testers!(140) (40) BFPs! 9 Angels Come find a Buddy today!!!!

[turtlemomma]

Holy, gone for 3 hours and crazy BFP's!!!!

Can any of you girls offer me some insight into my chart? I temp vaginally, at the exact same time every day...

Loro- I would say it could be a fluke temp, maybe early implantation, but it is common to have a temp drop mid luteal phase- it has to do with estrogen I think. As long as it goes back up tomorrow then you shouldn't worry about it. It definitely looks as if you O'd. GL!

 

[HWPG]

loro, hun, hugs to you and your long cycle and frustration. i am so sorry for that! it could def just be a dip, i've certainly had those in my LP. let's hope it goes back up tomorrow, that will be the most telling. FX!

 

[hopeforbfp]

Loro I don't know about charts but your last dip went right up. I'd say its just another fluke.

So junebugs January 12th it is then. I'm excited to and at least that date is achievable for me to get to without cheating. I start work on Monday so I should be distracted all week then come Saturday ill be able to test. Ugh I really hope we both get those 2 lines. I'm not sure if I know exactly how to read your kind of chart but it looks like both our temps had a good rise today. FF gave me crosshairs that are sooo wrong. I was having unusually low pre O temps this cycle so FF is confused I think. I may add another temp on the day I missed at my usual 96.8 and see if that helps.

How do I override FF crosshairs?

Congrats to the new BFPs

I think if you add that temp, after 2 more high ones it will give you ch's where you think they should be. But to override on ff it is under the ovulation detector box. Says "Tuning/Override". Gl!

Lol my chart isn't looking very good though ... Im a horrible mouth sleeper and I literally move all night so idk if I should rely on that... Idk I guess I want it to be some
Miracle pg test to tell me yes or no before the stick haha

I don't think it's as bad as you think it is. I'd guess it's going to go back up tomorrow, but it's definitely biphasic either way.

What does that mean? I'm gonna go google but usually that freaks me out lol
Thnx for all the help ladies!

A biphasic chart is one which shows a difference pre-ovulation and post-ovulation (one side of the vertical line on your chart versus the other). Ideally you want lower temps during the 1st half or so of your cycle, the follicular phase and higher temps during the 2nd half of your cycle, the luteal phase. If you temp regularly and ovulate, you should have a biphasic chart - it's a GOOD thing!!!

Hope and junebugs I'm testing on the 12th too!

Ya i know, i use TCOYF so its a little different then FF(the day that is highlighted in purple is ovulation day) but ya we both got a good rise it temps today so we are looking good!!!! Your chart is doing something weird, i get that too sometimes when i miss a temp around ovulation, i normally do the same thing and just add in a estimated temp. You are lucky you get work to distract you.. i am still off on Mat. leave right now(although it is ending next week, i just am not going back to my previous job.) So i am at home all day long with the LO! I am going to be going nuts until Saturday! LOL Thank god i have you ladies to keep me busy!

YAY LUNA! We can all be test buddies!!!!

Question about low dose aspirin...
I've always had a LOT of clotting with my periods, although I don't know how I compare to "normal". I've read tons about the benefits if low dose aspirin on improving placental blood flow and decreasing the risk of early miscarriage. I know it will have no impact on miscarriage caused by chromosomal abnormalities. Can it hurt to take the aspirin in the event that my 2 miscarriages are of a clotting issue? Anyone have a doctor either recommend (or advise against) the aspirin? For those who take it, do you start at day 1 or around ovulation? I'm about 6dpo, so I'm wondering if I'm too late to have it make an impact at this point in my cycle. Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

I am not aloud to take asprin of any sort because I have endometriosis. Also I have thin blood. So I am not aloud because I may bleed too much! I am not sure if this will help you or not. GL my dear FX for you!!

 

[AmaryllisRed]

I wanna test RIGHT NOW!!!!!!

This is why I don't normally keep peesticks in the house.

 

[kaili]

i had to satisfy my anxiety that maybe it was a bad test that i took this morning so i went to the drug store, got an E.P.T brand, a FRER, a clearblue, and a clearblue early result...

POAS 4x at a time (that was awkward!) and they were all 4 definitely positives. The frer gave me a line line (not just a faint one) after 12 seconds!!!! AHHHHH!!!!

 

[Doodlover]

Congratulations to today's BFP's!

 

[hopeforbfp]

Well I'm going to give my chart a couple days to work itself out and see what happens. Or maybe I'll play with it lol who knows.

Yay LUNA!!! Another test buddy This is our month ladies. PMA PMA!

I am so jealous of your maternity leave. I always forget how wonderful Canada is with that. I thought you got an entire year off though. I see your LO is 10 months from your ticker. Do you get paid for that entire maternity leave? Are you going to be a stay at home mom now or are you just switching jobs? I've always said that I would never want to be a stay at home mom because I feel like I would get bored. The more time that passes though, the more I like the idea of being a stay at home mom or at least work super part time. The problem is DH doesn't make enough money to allow that. I actually make more money than DH. Oh well, I think when summer comes around I'm going to be looking for a higher paying job that I can do part time.

Haha - love your little emoticon! That's exactly how I felt this afternoon, so I went and stocked up on some $store cheapies and peed on one just for fun... just in case I'm lucky enough to be one of the early implanters. But, as expected, BFN. At least I got rid of the itch, and don't really feel bad about the BFN since I know it doesn't mean I'm not pregnant

The head games we play with ourselves, eh?

 

[AmaryllisRed]

I should get some cheapies... I really really wanna poas tomorrow... but at only 8 dpo the chances of a bfp are slim to none...
Sigh.

I'm a stay at home Mum. And Logan is 4.5 now and in school full time. It began when I was pregnant, i was soooooooo sick, I couldn't actually work. Logan was 9lbs 9oz and I lost 15 lbs while pregnant! The more i stayed home, the more I didn't want to go back to work. Matt's business, is third generation, and his Dad retired when Logan was one, so we had to come up with a shit tonn of money to be able to buy the business. We made/make a tonn of sacrifices, and we aren't loaded. But it is beyond important for me now, to be the one giving logan breakfast, taking him to school, volunteering at school, picking him up from school etc...I personally, do not get bored, there is always soooo much crap to do around here. We are very lucky in Canada to be able to be off for 12 months, there are many things we have here that I feel very fortunate for

Yes we do get a year but i took off early because of where i worked (im a vet nurse) i couldn't really do much more being so big hehehehehe. Also i wanted a little time off before the baby came. It was only going to be a month off before he was due but of course he was almost 2 weeks late so i was off for almost a month and a half.....

Well i was planing on staying at home because my previous job is to far for me to drive and i hadn't heard back from any of the jobs i was applying to around here. The funny thing is as soon as i typed that i just got a call from one of them and now i have an interview set up!!! WEIRD, i applied to them over a month ago too so i thought i was def. not going to hear from them! I am only planing on working part time in the evening and weekends when DH can watch DS. I love staying home and i know we could do it but money would be VERY tight and it would be nice to have a little extra spending money too.

I have always felt soooooo bad for Americans, i could not imagine going back to work so soon after having your LO.

Hello All :wave:

Could you put me down for the 21st (FF says AF due 18th, but I'll give or take)? We've been NTNP for at least a year now. Since this past summer we decided not to actually try until summer '13 (although we would still be thrilled if it happened before hand). This would be our 2nd as well already have a 7 year old son together. Out of all of my cycles though, I would say the timing/amount of BDing on this one probably would have the best chances of conceiving. Except, I'm not 100% positive I O'd.

I've only charted temps a couple of cycles before (usually just do CM/CP), this one not being one of them unfortunately. But I started to get watery/my most abundant cm on CD 10-12 (on 15 today). It was kind of hard to distinguish since we BD'd on 10 & 11 and usually I get a lot of EWCM but it just seemed more wet & watery this time. CD 12 I began getting sharp ovarian pains here and there. Then on CD 13 cm got a tiny bit of creaminess/tacky in the AM and I seriously felt like I'd been hit by a truck. Very flu-like/feverish, weak, nip tenderness and a ton of ovarian pains & cramps. I could hardly do anything that day. It isn't totally abnormal for me though, usually happens most often right before AF shows.

I feel like I probably O'd that day (or maybe the day before/after?). Earlier than usual, and quite a few days earlier than where FF put me (CD 16-tomorrow). Aside from having what seemed like less than ideal CM during my fertile days, I also began have tender nips the past 3 days (starting on 13). Now it is common for me to have breast pain around O because I have fibrocystic breasts which can get excruciatingly bad some months. What isn't so common, is the nip pain (without bb pain-yet). From my memory/charting, I've only had this happen once or twice before.

So anyway, I decided to look it up online and ran across an article that said if you have nip/front of breast pain around O than more than likely it's estrogen dominance and you didn't ovulate. It has gotten me pretty bummed and very confused on whether or not I even O'd this month..


Anyone have an opinion? I would greatly appreciate it!

Baby dust to all!!! Congratulations to all who received their BFP's in here--I wish you all a happy and healthy pregnancy!!!

After I ovulate my nipples get sore, if my shirt rubs them they feel raw is the only way I can explain it....lol But I use a fertility monitor and it showed that I definitely ovulated so I would not worry to much....

I think about how much time I'll be able to take off all the time... Like will I be able to take twelve weeks? insurance only covers six weeks at 80% pay, so the other six would have to be vacation or unpaid time. I wonder if I could go back to work four days a week instead of five, but cost benefit analysis says no, I'd lose more in my pay than paying for daycare. I don't know how we Americans do it and think it's normal; the system is messed up.
