<25 BFPs!! 12 births!! Welcome to the world turtle babies!>

[HollyMonkey]

Thanks girls! just got a new tooth this morning (I got the, she got the tooth fairy!) so I thought I'd celebrate it with a new pic! Can hardly see The Tooth once the pic is reduced so much though!

And I put a pic of us in matching raincoats as my profile pic, if you want a nose!!

Your LO is completely and absolutely adorable. Every time I see her picture my uterus hurts! I can hardly wait to have one of those!

Aw thankyou Littlespy! Just 9 months and you'll have one... it goes quick though so ENJOY! Ah the gorgeousness of it. You and Kit-cat, a Smidge pregnant, but oh what a big thing a Smidge can be! You've done the main bit, as far as I know the whole genetic make-up of your offspring is already determined. Scary huh? Whatever you do or ingest will not change that mother-in-law's nose, those short legs of daddy etc etc! Magic. Just Magic.

Congrats again!

now this may be a silly question littlespy and the other kind ladies.....does it work it all out on the chart out on FF......??? your graphs all have lines on and things so do I just do my temp and record it ???? and will it tell me when I should be ovulating or do I work it out ????

Not a silly question at all! FF's software will tell you what day u ovulate based on the info u provide. It won't predict ovulation though b/c Ovulation day can't be determined until the temp rises and of course once that happens it's pretty much too late. the primary indicators are your temp and CM. once u have O'ed there will be a red vertical line going through your graph on the day they determine you O, and another red horizonal line that is your coverline. Pre-o temps should fairly remain beneath the coverline, and post-o temps should remain above it. If you have not achieved pregnancy for that cycle you temp should fall back below the coverline once AF arrives. Check this out when you have some time
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/videos.html this gives a good overview. Hope that helps! Feel free to ask more questions b/c I was a tad confused at 1st too.

thanks newbie ! thats great....just trying to decide a good time to set my alarm to test ! DH is onboard so she said he would do the alarm and wake me up ! so I am best to use opks as well and then temp and then I can track once I think I have ovulated .........I think I get it ! I will give it a go....I have nothing to lose when u look into all this stuff the body is so clever really !!!!!

Goodluck girls. The thought of an alarm before LO self-operates her musical mobile in the early hours, her latest new trick (which we get In Stereo on the monitor by our bed) horrifies me. I cannot temp! And FF refused my membership so I'm sulking them still. But I could temp without FF. It's that early wakeup without it being100% necessary. Am I lazy? Am I not dedicated? I'm worried now! But I've ordered a CBFM! Anything to avoid temping!!!!!!!!!!!!argghhhhh!!!!!!

HollyMonkey- go ahead and just click on my ticker and it will bring you to the website where you can make your own. Make sure your copy the right code. There are three code options, the one that is for forums is the one you want. Then you just paste it in your signature and you are good to go.

LittleSpy- HollyMonkey is right... it goes by so fast! Soak it up! Before you know it your little one is going to school *sniff* ... oh wait... that's me. Time definitely moves faster when you are a mommy.

Amazing, isn't it? Just remember to move as little as possible when you 1st wake. Don't get out of bed, don't drink anything, or go potty, as all these things can cause your temp to rise. They say even talking can affect your temp! And make sure when you temp, that you've had at least 3 hrs of undisturbed

that is so weird that FF didn't accept you. I didn't know there were admission requiements but leave it to you to break them! You're right tho, you don't need them to chart! as for the 5:30 wake up, i'm not sure why I do it so early. there's some rule about adding or subtracting to your temp (i'm sure littlespy can explain it better) depending on when u wake up, but i don't think that matters as long as you temp at the same time every day.

btw - Holly your little munchkn is so adorable! I could just pinch her little cheeks thru my screen!!

Aw don't! I get weepy-( not about the ticker!) but about how fast the baby bit goes. 2 teeth already, 10 months old *birthday* yesterday, weepy weepy.God I well up quick. School is just round the corner, weep weep. And then she'll have babies of her own. Stop, Stop!The taps turn on so quick for me! I have posts to finish! So; about that ticker Molly. I will dry my sentimental eyes and go click on it.... THANKS!

 

[Mollykins]

Trust me HollyMonkey, I am just as weepy at times. My first is 5 years old and my BABY is 3.5 years old!! I think about my girls growing up and going to their first dance, having the first boyfriend, first kiss, first heartbreak, OMG... driving???, graduation, university... moving away???

Okay, your ticker... is here yet?? I better check... *sniff*

I'm so crap with computers!I tried really hard I clicked on your ticker, got to that site, I gave them all my details, got to choose my ticker (chose same as Newbie, just noticed, pink flowers) but didn't know how to do all the copy and paste stuff. How do you get it from...THEM....to.....US?!!! Don't get it. But did my avatar CRUNCHIE *does smug face*

How do you get it from...THEM....to.....US?!!! Don't get it. But did my avatar CRUNCHIE *does smug face*

in the other site, copy the code, i think it's the 2nd one that will work for our message boards. then back on this site go to User CP (control panel) and along the left side under Settings & Options click on Edit Signature. from there u should be able to paste what u copied from the other site directly into the Edit Signature dialog box. and of course you can add extras it it as i have. hope that helps!

[Mollykins]

Hahaha, or you could listen to newbie... she's not a cheater. She'll explain it to you.

 

[Mollykins]

Marmite... never had the *ahem* to try it. I'd rather not be sick... I've heard it's death on toast... I'll stick to my orange marmalade.

 

[emandi]

Ladies- I've been looking into it and I think I am going to use soft cups this cycle. They are relatively cheap and (I would imagine) very helpful. I'm definitely a fan of cheap as TTC for so many months has started to rack up quite a bill! AND softcups double as a feminine hygiene product when the is here.

Tell me about it Molly. I did a reckless thing today, I've purchased online a CBFM Don't tell DH My argument is that if he's only going to give me until April to fall pregnant, then I'm going to need all the help I can get. And I will tell him it can be used afterwards as an unreliable form of birthcontrol.
Oh dear he's going to murder me when he finds out.

Holly and Molly (it's like you are sisters sharing the same sense of humour )
It's not just you two who pleased retailers . I just came back from shops with couple of vitamins and supplements to help me succeed in this round .
I decided to take EPO from CD1 until ovulation, vitamin B6 to lengthen my LP, also ordered Maca - have you heard about it?. And I will carry on taking pregn. vitamis and my Apimist.
Mad, isn't it?

 

[HollyMonkey]

AH HA ! crunchie finally has a face !!!!

Woo hoo! My 2 cats will be DELIGHTED!

 

[Crunchie]

I love marmite !!!!

I also bought the husband some wellman today......he just shrugged and took it !!! no questions asked lol

Tried again. Can't do it. Ready to cheat. what info do you need? identity name, password, e mail, and cycle day they asked of me? Shall I pm that to you? Anything else?
