Hey ladies..any tips for temping? I can never remember to take my temp in the morning are there any alternatives?

I would use fertilityfriend.com because I think it is a great website. But Im not sure if there is an alternative to taking it in the morning unless you work nites or something. I think that you can also take your temps at a certain time, like if you sleep for a 4-5 hour block in the middle of the day you can take your temp then. Go to FF and read there, they have some tips about this.

Also my DH would take my temp every morning at 5am while I was sleep still, he would just stick the thermometer in my mouth. GL!

Girl me too. I dont think he is coming on his own so Im just waiting patiently for this darn csection next friday. I wanted him to come on his own birthday, not one the drs make up for you! My hope of him doing so is dwindling big time!

I wont be a whiner but just accept the blessing and if God is saying do it that way then oh well, so be it!

Mrsk- I pray everything goes well..and ya never know he might to decide to pop up before Friday

I agree. I am really hoping that is what he does too.

Im so bored at home. I should have worked until the 18th of Feb. I dont like playing Molly the homemaker everyday.

My mom is going to come next week if I have to have the csection so at least I will have some help. My mom also told me dont reach over my head for anything as she believes this is how my sister was born stillborn. My heart ached for her when she told me that today. That was almost 40 yrs ago but Im sure the pain is still there sometime.

I hope everyone is blessed.

 

[ready4onemore]

Hey ladies,

Mrsk, I have heard that you shouldn't reach over your head as well. Not sure but I wouldn't just in case. I am praying he comes on his own. I know how much you want this.

 

[FutureMommie]

MrKC- I'm praying that you little one makes an appearance on his own terms but you are right in being ok with the C-section if God sees fit for him to arrive that way, I'm sure there must be a reason that none of us understand., I'm surper excited for you.

 

[mrskcbrown]

Thanks ladies. I really appreciate it!

Hi Ladies!

I know its been a long while but I hope everyone is doing well! mrskcbrown Love the hair!
Quick update we finally went to the fertility specialist this past friday and got the consult done for the Clomid/IUI. She is a GREAT dr and I feel so comfortable with her. She did everything herself she said she does that for all the referrals from my OB/GYN since she actually was the person who trained my doc. Sonogram went well I had a ton of eggs. She said that in our case it should only take one or two cycles. So we shall see. The next step before the first clomid/iui cycle is the HSG test. So I am for once awaiting my cycle so that we can get this ball rolling! Now that I have unlocked my account I can finally post more! It sucks when you have so many passwords to remember! Sorry ladies promise I am sticking in for good! Oh yeah I am also negotiating the price of the IUI with them. LOL I mean its not that expensive ($950 per cycle) but my insurancehas a different sot. However, my insurance doesn't cover the IUI. So I am trying to get the office to charge us the insured rate eventhough they don't have to. Hey it doesn't hurt to ask!

 

[FutureMommie]

Hopefuly-Welcome back, good luck with the hsg and the IUI's keep us posted.

afm- I am cd10 today and just starting my opk test, I hope I get a smiley by the weekend.

 

[mrskcbrown]

Hey hopefully! Glad you are back. I hope you get that discount too. It doesnt hurt to ask. I think when we were considering IUI it was 650 or so. I think they should refund you half of it, if you dont get a BFP. That may be wishful thinking though. I believe that they would have more repeat customers if they did so. Just my thinking though.

Future: I too hope you get that smiley face. I loved getting those.

My dr called and she wants to see me again tomorrow before friday. I guess to see where Im at and if Im progressing. I think I may be leaking waters because I feel so wet down there and the pressure is getting worse, so we will see. It would be so lovely if they kept me tomorrow and just broke my waters for me.....wishful thinking again!

Just wanted to add that my DR is a sistah and I just love her. I love AA doctors

Hi everyone!

Mrskc- I rushed in here because I was sure I missed the announcement. Hang in there! He'll be here before you know it.
Sending well wishes your way.

Good to see you on Hopeful!

Futuremommie-is this your first time using OPK? I'll start in March. I'm excited but I have so many questions. I saw the one you are speaking of that gives a smiley face. I think I'll start out with the strips, first , while learning to chart. Not sure, though. I may just skip all that. lol I have bouts of impatience at times. I know it's not good, but I have to be real with myself.


To everyone else, I hope all is well. Baby wishes and H&H!

 

[FutureMommie]

Regal- I have used them before but it's been a while, my previous cycles i hven't needed to use them because I was using follistim injections and the dr was giving me trigger shots and then doing an IUI. I've decided to use the digital ones because it takes all the guess work out of it.

MrsKC- FX tht they keep you and break your water.

 

[Regalpeas]

Yes that's what I hear about the strips. Decisions...decision. lol


as you go into your next fertile period.

I was always so bad with the strips. I couldnt tell if I was + or -? I would have to save them everyday and line them up next to each other to tell the difference. Good luck on whatever you decide.

 

[Regalpeas]

Thanks. LOL I can see me now worrying my dh over those lines. Maybe I should go for the digital. I'll let you all know what I decide.

I love your hair.

Thanks a lot. Im back with a relaxer now but I was natural for 2-3 yrs. I miss it and as soon as the baby gets mobile, Im doing the big chop and going back natural.
