I'm good here, CD10, sore boobs.. but that could be AF coming early... didn't test yet.. maybe I will on Friday..
qnything new for you girls?

 

[Tui]

Tui don't give up yet those temps look great !

Thank you for your optimism. Unfortunately this chart is just the same as all my other non pregnant ones. My pregnant chart looks really different so thats why I'm sure I'm out. That and the bfn I got just now, lol.

 

[lola33]

Tui, I have no idea why you got Bfps like that.. I guess you can change the brand for the tests ! Well, like we always say, you can still hope til AF arrives... when is it due?
I decided I'm not going to test before saturday. We're going on a 2 days trip tomorrow, going to hike and visit a few towns. I'll test after that..
Still have sore bbs. I never get that, unless on the day af is coming.. so fingers are crossed...
I hope everyone else is ok !

Good luck, Lola!!! I am so hoping this is the lucky cycle for you. We need some good luck around here. Enjoy your little trip and keep us posted on what happens with your test.

Tui - I know you feel out but you aren't just yet. Your chart still looks good to me. You need to take your own advice and stay away from those crap tests.

LeftWonderin - Welcome! Good luck with TTC#2!

Wcpp - Did you ever figure out what was going on with your cycles? Some women have cycles that are anovulatory - I think if it happens again it might be a good time to visit with your Dr. to see what's going on.

Skweek - How are you doing?

Hello. I am 37 years old, trying for #1. I had my IUD removed in May, so it's been three cycles with no luck. I know it's ONLY been three cycles My wedding is happening in early next year, so I'm dreaming about wearing a wedding dress with a little belly! I don't want to talk with my friends because no one is actively trying right now. Ones who don't have kids are not interested in this topic, and ones who have kids would just say "relax!" So I'm glad I stumbled upon this thread.

I'm new to TTC, and just started to look for a basal thermometer. Which one do you use? Should I chart in Fahrenheit or Celsius? I'm thinking about buying one from Rite Aid.

Good luck to all of us!!!

 

[Tui]

Welcome eksar. I got my bbt from ebay. I temp in farenheit even though we are Celsius here! Not sure why but it doesn't matter which you use. Good luck.

 

[Eksar]

Oh, ebay! Thank you, Tui. I was getting frustrated that local stores don't carry BBT and ones on Amazon would have taken weeks to get delivered. I just ordered one on ebay, which should arrive within a few days. I look forward to charting!

Hi everyone well cd 6 today just waiting lol.... I'm starting Opk on Saturday .... Now to seduce oh on Monday , tue and Wednesday lol.......

 

[lola33]

Welcome Eksar ! temping is good at the beginning, it shows you when you O and you can time it better. I gave up temping after a while, since I have cm, and I know I O around the same date now.
Leftwonderin, hi ! and yay for naked times soon
Boogers, what about you? what's up?

 

[Eksar]

Thanks for the welcome, Lola! My periods are textbook clockwork, with Clear Blue and Wondfo indicating that I ovulate exactly on the 14th day. I have some ovulation cramps around that time too. So temping might not change anything about my TTC. But I'm taking a break from work, and I have more time than I normally am used to. I'm getting bored I have an appointment with a fertility specialist next month, so charting it might add more information for that meeting.

I'm at the end of my cycle now. I wish I could jump forward to CD6, Lef Wonderin!

hi everyone! hope you are all well. Sorry for the long absence. our summer sailing trip was a lot of fun, but i think it actually resulted in us missing our most fertile days...hence I just got AF yesterday. I was really hoping this was going to be it. I am really sad. I am also really exhausted. Went straight from sailing trip to move to London and working again. Plus, our new apartment flooded because the washing machine broke down and we have been living with dehumidifiers in the middle of the apartment for the last five days. Not very good start... On the positive side, London is an amazing city.

I am very worried though about access to specialists. I can't even remember anymore if this was cycle 5 or 6, i'll have to go back and look at our posts . But i am ready to give it a couple more cycles and then go see specialists.

Lola how are you? Booger? Tui? Welcome to newcomers.

Let's have some positive news around here!!! We need them!

Lost of hugs to everyone

 

[Left wonderin]

I feel it in my waters that this is going to be an Extra lucky thread in the coming months with lots of BFP I just know it !!!!!

 

[Eksar]

Yes! So I feel like I want to do something new every month for TTC. Just because I just read on another thread that some people use "cups." Those are cups meant for periods, and they collect the blood from uterus so that you wouldn't have to use tampons and pads. It can keep semen up by uterus if inserted after intercourse, so I'm going to try one this cycle. I just ordered "Instead Soft Cups" on Amazon.

Let me know if any of you have used them! My fiance is out of town for a night right before my ovulation, so hopefully this makes up for it

 

[Tui]

Hi everyone. Been away for the weekend at my mums helping her put up fencing and gardening and stuff.

Eskar, I tried soft cups a couple of times. Now I just keep really still after bd, lol. One of the same sex couples on here used them to get pregnant, they asked him to "deposit" it right into the cup then inserted. It obviously worked.

Gonimi, sounds like a rollercoaster few weeks for you. Good luck in London.

 

[booger76]

Tui, look at your chart! Fingers crossed for you.

 

[Tui]

Been away for 2 days so haven't temped since friday. Who knows what it's doing now. I'll be back temping tomorrow (Monday) so I'll see what happens.

 

[lola33]

well I'm out. Got Af this morning. Now C9.. doctor said to call in september to get more tests.. I'll call tomorrow.
