[Jannah K]

Phoenix...I am so excited for u!! Looks like a bfp this time for u

I am on clomid day2...will start bd this weekend!
When is everyone else testing?

 

[Phoenix82]

Thanks hun, although I'm suddenly panicking as I randomly took my temp tonight and it's lower!!! I know I'm meant to do it am but I was just intrigued and now I think my temp is lowering - only tomorrow will tell!!!

Good luck for this cycle huni xxx

 

[Nanninoo]

Hi Jannah how are you doing? Yay back to ttc at last x
Phoenix egnore the temp you just did it doesn't count so don't let it bother you it could of been low for many reasons even room temp, what you have eaten, drank, lack of sleep,meds ect... That's why only morning temping as soon as you wake is an accurate reading as your body is nice and relaxed after waking!
Hope you get a nice high temp in morning fingers crossed x

Hey ladies. Hope all is well. Phoenix, I can't wait to find out the story. It totally sounds like your bfp is around the corner. How long have you been trying? Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you. I'm not sure I would think too much on a temp taken at an unusual time of the day. Temp in the morning and see. Good luck!

I couldn't help myself today and googled stories on people who have gotten bfp's with only bd'ing once 5 days before O. Apparently it does happen. We'll see. I'm 5dpo tomorrow but I really don't think I'm pregnant this cycle. I'll just wait for af to show and hope for the best. But then again, if no bfp this cycle then there's a chance for a Christmas baby if I conceive next month. Silver lining, right? That would be really nice, I think.

Hope everyone's week is starting off right!

I temped yday & today morning and my temp was significantly lower...I would think it is due to clomid dose that I started last night
PhoenixTemp AM. I am praying for you

 

[Phoenix82]

Nanninoo it's 36.57 - I'm guessing that is still ok??? I didn't temp yesterday as I forgot my thermometer and was out over night, the day before was 36.61 and the day before was 36.57 - I really don't get the temping thing yet and am soooo nervous.
How are you ?

RCP I've been ttc #1 10 months
You have to think there is always a chance, think of those accidental babies that just happen somehow!! Fingers crossed for you xx

Jannah google luck this cycle. Thanks for thinking of me xxx

 

[Nanninoo]

Hey girls, got my 3rd high reading this morning after a dip which would confirm ovulation so I just hope we caught that eggy at the right time so in gods hands now praying it's our month!
Got my doctors appointment tomorrow to revue my medication for my migraines hoping I'm put on something different that actually works.
Purchased some floradix magnesium liquid mineral supplement and iron formula to try and see if it helps as I've read up taking magnesium has lowered people's migraines by half and I'm willing to try anything so hoping this works aswell besides it it also makes you more energetic rather than lethargy which I feel most times and helps stress to make you feel much calmer so all beneficial lets hope it works....
3dpo today this tww already seems a long way off! Hope everyone's ok x

 

[Phoenix82]

Ohhh fingers crossed huni.

Let us know how you get on. The 2ww arghhhhh HATE IT xxx

 

[Tatemp]

Phoenix as long as your temps stay up it's good. One dip between about 6 to 10 DPO may mean implantation. Your symptoms are sounding promising, so fingers crossed.

 

[Phoenix82]

Thanks sweetie.

I'm just so scared my temp will drop and AF will come - this is the closest I've been in 10 month xx

How are you? Xx

 

[Tatemp]

Ooh I know how you feel. Temping can turn into a real addiction, but at least it's a free one.
What I've been doing lately is checking other peoples pregnancy charts to see if I can find a trend that looks like mine. You can check them on fertility friend.

I am now on CD 3 or 4, waiting to o. Basically the most boring and irritating part of a cycle. There is nothing you can do and you know nothing is happening.

 

[Phoenix82]

Tatemp big hugs - if I'm honest I hate the whole process of ttc - I just want my turn!!

Question on temping ladies - sorry to be annoying but I really don't get it and is making me want to temp less and less.

So my temps were highest a few days ago but can you tell me at what rate they drop before AF starts so I know if my temp is just naturally fluctuating or if it's a sign the witch is coming? (I don't even know if it's normal or how much your temp would fluctuate).
I temped today after a really restless nights sleep and my temp has gone from 36.57 to 36.47 and I'm wondering if my temps have been slightly less each day is this AF coming? In my heart I'm guessing it is but I don't really understand temping yet so am hoping someone can confirm?
Therefore I'm assuming I'm out and that my body played a cruel trick on me - I won't believe any symptoms ever again and am really sad

Sorry I just needed to ask - the oh doesn't know how it works either so is asking me how my temps are xxx

Sorry for being negative I'm just feeling really low as I know what's coming and I was so sure this month.

 

[Nanninoo]

Hugs hun don't be sad your still very much in regardless of temps.
The past two months of temping I've noticed mine fluctuate but have a tendency to stay above 98f (36.6c) after ovulation then when af is on it's way they drop steadily below this.
I've looked at other peoples charts and seen they have had a dip in temp then the next day gone straight back up resulting in conceiving so there's always hope! Keep monitoring your temps hun, what dpo are you now? X

 

[Phoenix82]

Thx hun, I'm assuming 10/11 however now I'm doubting I'm in I'm wondering if the pains I had like AF may have been late o as I would have been cd16, although I had 2 lines on my opk before then and then they disappeared , again not official +)
I don't know what to think anymore!
I've never had pains or that much diff cm before either ��

The last 2 nights I haven't slept well and stirred a lot which I've read can reduce your bbt but I think I'm just hoping now. My pee has smelt quite strongly too and I don't appear to have an infection - see my body hates me and loves to need with me!!

Thanks for the support sorry for being so negative, I really appreciate your support xxx

Let me know how your appointment goes today? Xx

 

[Rcp925]

Hey Phoenix-I've been temping for about 15 months. At first it was to make sure I was actually ovulating and to tta without using pills or anything. My temp after ovulation fluctuates between 97.6-98.1 until about a day or two before af starts. That's when it starts to drop a little each day and on the day my af comes it drops below my coverline and stays down until after ovulation the next cycle. Temping can be extremely frustrating in the beginning and things such as working out, restless sleep, sleeping in cold rooms/warm rooms, drinking,sleeping with your mouth open, etc., all have an effect on your temps. It take several cycles to understand what's happening and be able to find the patterns. Don't give up hope. It's not over until af comes and your temps dropping could just be because you didn't sleep well. Good luck!

 

[Phoenix82]

Thanks sweetie. I really appreciate the support.

My symptoms have even strong this month and even today I feel like I'm going to be sick and my pee smells - how is that normal??
It's probably a good thing I think I'm out as we have a busy weekend and at least I won't be this down by then (I hope)

You ok? Xx

 

[Nanninoo]

Your symptoms sound promising Phoenix I'm rooting for you hunny!
When are you testing? Did you say Saturday or Monday?
Doc appointment went abit hit and miss I was very stressed got there to find out receptionist booked me in Thursday not today so after basically telling her she got the appointment mixed up and I wasn't having a wasted journey she then told me I had to wait until my doctor was free (2hours later) finally saw my doctor he was going to try me on the same medication epileptic people have to treat there seizers which I was happy about as my mum is on the same drug due to her migraines and since being on it she hasn't suffered a migraine so I was more than happy to try these 'wonder drugs' then he realised at the last minute he couldn't give them to me as they are not suitable for woman TTC or pregnant which annoyed me slightly so I've been put on another stronger medication and also tramadol for pain relief he said it should knock me out for a few hours when I take it for a migraine attack as it's very strong. I go back to see him in 8 weeks time for a follow up see how the medication is he also referred me to the hospital for MRI scan to check there's no tumors as precaution. X

Hi Phoenix, your symptoms are sounding more positive everyday. I just read about the weird pee smell being a good sign last week, so fingers tightly crossed.

About the temp, one dip is nothing to worry about. My post o temps vary mostly between 36.3 and 36.5, sometimes going as low as 36.1 or as high as 36.7. So a fluctuation of 0.1 is nothing to worry about. Like rcp said you need to do it for a few months to recognize the trends.
Let's hope this is your month and you won't even need to keep temping.


Nanninoo, I'm sorry about the 'wonder drug' being a no go. Apparently TTC is a pain in the ass in more ways than one. I hope the new medication will help you.

 

[Phoenix82]

Nanninoo thanks huni I think sat as AF is due Monday, what do you think?

Omg your docs sound as useless as mine!!

Tramadol!! That's heavy stuff, it will make you drowsy but as long as it helps you then I guess it's worth a try. Let me know how you get on with it and although the owner drug is a no go now at least you know when you've had your bump you can have it xxx

Tatemp thanks hun xx
