Aw, Bunni, sorry about the temp drop.

AFM, my temp stayed up today, yay! FF is going to put me as oing Friday which makes me 2dpo today. Bring on the crazy!

I had some weird little tingly cramps & twinges last night. Obviously from o, but I don't recall them ever feeling like that before. It was a weird sensation. I had my first ever positive pregnancy test dream this morning.

I hope maybe I'll just be too busy at work this week to do too much of the symptom spotting because I'm baaaaaad about it.

It turns out that ol' eating healthy & exercising thing works. It took me a long time to realize what "eating healthy" really means which is why I've never been able to successfully lose weight before (I've been overweight since I was a kid).
I use the food diary at myfitnesspal.com (it's free!).

Hi Everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself, because even though I've been around these boards almost a year, I'm really not "friends" with anyone yet & I'm starting to feel rather lonely!

I'm 33 and have a 2.5 year old son who was conceived the first month we tried (when I weighed 250 lbs.) It was a relatively smooth pregnancy, although I had high blood pressure before I got pregnant and so I had it throughout my pregnancy as well. At 37 weeks, I was induced because of it (but it wasn't an emergency or pre-ecclampsia), but the induction failed and I ended up with a c-section. Grrrr.

We conceived again in early 2009, also on the first month we tried. Unfortunately, I had a missed miscarriage that I found out about at 12, almost 13 weeks.

So now we've been trying for nearly 20 months, and I haven't been able to conceive. (Although I possibly had 1 or 2 chemicals earlier this year) I'm usually over in the pregnancy test gallery trying to find lines.

I currently weigh 265 (down nearly 30 pounds so far this year!), and I'm trying to lose more. I obviously can't go to a doctor regarding TTC because of my weight, so I feel really in the dark!

I work as a Custodian at a University and should receive my Bachelor of Science in Health Education next year. I only need one more course to receive my degree. I plan on going to graduate school and getting either a Master of Public Health or a degree in counseling.

I'm in a town of about 60,000 in Idaho, which for those of you not in the states, is a relatively rural area in the western US. I'm also a Christian.

Maybe I can make some friends on this thread? I feel so lonely!!!

And I forgot to add that I'm currently 4 dpo and started testing today because I bought 50 10 miu strips off of ebay, and I'm checking them out to see if they are prone to evaps, so I will be able to tell if it's an evap or possible bfp if anything every shows up as a line! So far, no evaps!

welcome andella!

I'm CD 5 today, AF is gone and tomorrow we start BDing for every other day. PMA is high, I believe this is our month!!!

 

[Mustang_Love]

Welcome andella :wave:

Bunni.....I really thought this was your month. I am still amazed at how level-headed you are. So much stronger than I have ever been. But next month sounds promising. I am a strong believe that special dates bring special things. My due date is the one year anniversary of my younger brothers death. I am totally taking my pregnancy as a sign from him.

Welcome Andella hopefully in the next week or so you'll see that bfp. These boards are really great for talking to other ladies and can be a great cure for the isolation we sometimes feel when we are ttc.

 

[LittleSpy]

Welcome, Andella!

Yay, Bunnigrl3, I see that mfp ticker! Just a little fyi, you'd fit right in with my gals in the "Over 200 club" on the forum there. They're so awesome, informative, and supportive.

Good Morning my long lost BnB friends! Hope you all had an awesome weekend.

Welcome, Andella! Like Bunni said we love our thread and try to support each other as much as possible.

AFM we had a crazy busy weekend and I missed this place. Friday we had friends over to celebrate our wedding countdown and everyone drank except for me, which was ok until 3:30 am and I just wanted everyone to go to sleep so I could, Saturday morning my temp dropped and I was a little sad. Then showered and got ready to head to the hotel and wiped and there was blood. Second sign of saddness. Then I was like I am drinking some tonight (very little) but still didn't wanna have a 2nd night of not as much fun. We went to Howl-O-Scream and it was AWESOME!!! I was scared crapless needless to say and they do a WAY better job than Halloween Horror Nights. All night I had no more blood so then I was starting to feel guilty for the little bit I did drink. We had a crazy night at the hotel and woke up to my little brother saying he locked himself out of our house (he watched our dog). So we hurried home.
I slept all afternoon and took my temp at 6 and they didnt change much. However more than just spotting it was a lighter flow I guess you could say. Shawn and I are amazed at how much we learned about my body, kind of like LittleSpy said. This morning as expected my temps dropped wayyyy down and my PMA is high for this month. Round 2 here we come.
One thing I was happy about is I had what is considered an average cycle!!! As you remember I started taking Vitex last cycle to regulate me and I would say it is working which is awesome.

Sorry to read about everyone else having arrive, but it seems a couple of us are on the same cycle now
When I lived in a children's home in HS all of us girls started and stopped the same time every month, imagine 15 HS girls going through PMS and HS Drama monthly together, I felt bad for Mr. Mark

Anyways anything anyone is doing differently this month/cycle? Where did you gals get that fitness ticker?

My temp dropped this morning which changed the coverline on my ff chart. Not exactly sure why it dropped -- I woke up a few times during the night and even got up a couple of times so that could've messed with it but that happened a few nights last week, too, so who knows. I checked my temp twice -- once at 6.20 when I absolutely had to get up to pee which was after sleeping solidly since 4.30 (when my dh kindly woke me up coming to bed...). Then a 2nd time at 7.45 when I got up for work. Both times it was right at 97*F and my coverline was previously at like 97.4*. It just seems like waking up in the middle of the night would make my temp higher not lower. Okay, I'm obsessing... I'm so paranoid something's really wrong with me & I won't be able to get pregnant.

I have read where 3 hours minimum with sleeping and no getting up gives you the most accurate temp, but like you said it would make you have a higher temp not lower. Some people say that FF will change your O day after tha fact so make sure we just in case

Is exciting enough to know we O'd I think

Thanks for the ticker info. I will put my ticker up when I lose more weight I have lost 23 lbs so far though
