Anyone else counting down to April 1st?

[mzhwd]

Mummy hopefully your next doc appt goes well.
Yeah Mom the F° flashes which is a few seconds after I turn it on and I put it in and once it beeps I take it out. You should see a temp jump between pre and post ovulation. Apparently, the charts actually tell more but I don't know how to read the rest and I guess it's not important for me cause it's not my profession lol. But when I showed my doctor my charts she could show me when my prominent follicle started to grow.

Ok so the vitex does move ovulation foward I think for me not too much though. My chart looks really funky right now and FF hasn't been able to confirm ovulation yet. I believe my ovulation was over yesterday. But I'm not sure exactly when. Usually after ovulation my temps spike into the 98.?°, which happened today and my ewcm usually dries up immediately after ov. So I guess if I go off my past temps and cover line which has always been 97.5°F and my ewcm I'm 1dpo. But I had more ewcm on cd12 than cd13. I'm guessing that ovulated really late Wednesday cd12 by the way that my body felt. I think that my temps are wacky cause I felt like I released 2 eggs: 1 from each ovary within hours of each other. I'm going to say that was the vitex cause that's never happened before. Usually I only have ovulation pains on 1 side or the other never both and it's usually over fairly quickly. My peak cm was CD 11 and CD12 with only a small trace of ewcm on CD13.

What do you guys think? I think I want to know either way early so I'll be using my ic's this round.

Molgold sorry about the bfn. There's still time though. Fx'd

 

[Mom2sam]

Sorry about bfn Molgold how long have you been trying hun? Oops sorry just read you bn trying since jan, what have you been trying so far? Hang in there hun it will happen x

Mummy lol that's funny my dh is the same. I think would be nice to leave gender as surprise but i'm not patient & just have to know i'm bad like that also i like to go start shopping after 20wk mark according to gender. I'd love a girl second time round but ds wants a brother so either way would be great. I've put my temp into ovia app so hopefully it gives me indication as to what i'm looking for.

Will they not let you change appointment?

 

[Mom2sam]

Mzwid good luck! Sounds promising hiw long have you been taking the vitex & do you take it from cd1-til ovulation? X

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Not sure mom2sam waitin my sis to confirm it's same date but worried I'd have another month wait or somethin to change it.

 

[mzhwd]

Mummy I don't know about the WOW name lol. I don't think that I would wait to know the sex either lol.

I've been taking FertilAid and it says take everyday until pregnant. FX'd thst the vitamins he took were able to help his swimmers the 1st month. I'm going to say that today is 1DPO and test eod starting CD 10.

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

All sorted couisines thing is on 19th so it's ok

 

[Mom2sam]

That's good news it wont clash with your appointment x

Mzwid is fertilaid similar to vitex, fx crossed vits worked on your dh
I've started mine on the pregnacare his/her lol this cycle he said but my sperms fine? I said yeah always room for improvement just swallow the pill so are my eggs fine but i'm taking it too ;-) men i swear apart from dtd they leave all the rest to us

I tried that pregnacare wen in was preg with dd n thought it was horrid so didn't use it lol I'm using the seven seas pregnancy now but find them to be too big so I think il still to the Centrum ones after these are gone lol. I had a looknst that fertilaid stuff and was put off by the price I think the main use of that stuff is regulatin hormones but mzwid could answer that better.

 

[mzhwd]

Mom2Sam that is so true. I have no idea why they think that we have to do all the work. Smh the FertilAid has vitex in it and a lot of other stuff. It's supposed to make women have overall reproductive health. I honestly believe it works, but this is coming from a woman who already ovulate on my own. I definitely felt it doing stuff as I 1st started taking it. It's like a beefed up multivitamin. I actually compared it to some p renatals that I had and it was pretty much head on with the exception of a few extra like vitex, red clover, and some more stuff.

Mummy glad that your appointment doesn't collide with your cousin's event.

I wish that I could just test right now. The suspense is killing me. I want to know if his men made it to the egg at least. This wait is dumb and is going to drive me crazy. Lol

Diddy have you been able to confirm ovulation. How many dpo are you?

MolGold have you tested anymore?

 

[mzhwd]

Mummy that FertilAid is expensive compared to other vitamins. But I believe it works and worth a try. I just ran out. I'm contemplating on buying more after I finish these other vitamins I have.

 

[Mom2sam]

Mzwid i have heard good things about fertilaid on here so hopefully it works how many dpo are you when do you plan to test? I'm still waiting for af to leave only cd3

Mummy i too hated pregnacare when i started ttc this time took it for 2 months then switched to regular folic acid but i might look into something else too for him & myself he said yesterday my pee is brown! Lol mine turnd nearly green with them.

This temping is driving me dolally & only just started maybe coz i dont know what i'm doing though, i set alarm for 6am so woke today reached under pillow to grab thermometer whilst half asleep & dropped it behind bedside had to stay on bed but reach to get it & ended up pushing it further bk woke dh he got it for me but wasn't happy about being woken then switched it on & forgot what i'm supposed to do with it put under tongue & it didn't do anything then bleeped & i looked & it hadn't taken temp tried again few times before giving up. O've just read thrpugh instructions again so will try again tmrw. Do i let it just go to standby or do you switch it on/off everytime you use it? I'l prob laugh bk at this once i know what i'm doing but at moment i dont know how to use this thermometer lol

 

[Mom2sam]

Were watching one born every minite again last night & said to dh why the hell didn't i get a epidural? Lol he said midwife had asked you in birthplan & you put jyst gas& air. I do remember asking for it once in labour but asked too late. I will definitely be putting it in my birth plan next time now that i know how painful it was

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

I used to turn mine off but don't think it makes any difference, but yes ul need to turn it on every time. U just turn it on put it in right place under tongue then wait for it to beep.

I love watching one born every min but never know wen it's on lol is epidural the one in your back? I'd have loved that if it is as I had back labour with constant pain I didn't even feel contractions it was so painful but to a point I'm glad I didn't risk it because my friend had the one in ur back so u dnt feel anything but it's damaged her back so she now has a soar back and nothing can be done to repair it apparently so I don't think I'd like to risk it now for the sake of an hr ish pain. I don't know how my next one will go, with Beth my waters broke day before, went hosp they sent me home as I wasn't in established labour so I was due to be induced next morn if nothing happened. Thankfully wen I was goin bed I ran upstairs and that started me off and within an hour she was out and second ones ment to be even faster lol

 

[mzhwd]

I'm 2-3 dpo. I guess I'll start testing at 10dpo. I'm really nervous about the timing though. But I guess ewcm means that I was still in my fertile window so FX'd. I wish that I was closer to the endof this ccycle so at least I would know lol. This is the most impatience I've been during any cycle while ttc. Smh

Yeah there's nothing nice about dropping a thermometer when half sleep. Lol I thought I had dropped mined behind the bed 1 day but luckily it hadn't fallen. Yeah it'll get easier once you get the hang of it.

Mummy that sounds horrible what happened to your friend. I know of plenty women that got the epidural with no side effects. I wonder what happened in her case. They do tell you to be really stiff however.

Oh yeah mom the urine color change is completely normal. It's just your body ridding any extra stuff that it doesn't need. The more hydrated the body is the less stronger the color will be and last. But there is going to be a change in the color of the urine. It's actually a good thing. That lets you know your liver is working. Lol

 

[mzhwd]

I almost want to test today. even though I know its too early

 

[MolGold]

I tested and BFN, at 11 DPO with FMU Yes I am on meds, did my follicular scan and DHs SA. But I guess I am out again. Hmmph! waiting on AF now.

Hope you ladies have better luck, Mzhwd and Mom.

Mummy, hope you are doing grt!

 

[Mom2sam]

Mummy i watch it on you tube after i put ds to bed my chill out time. That's aweful about your freind i got a bad back anyway after having ds past couple years it's got worse told doc but they don't know why initially i thought might just be sore because i spent alot of time in bed when pregnant either in hospital or at home til end with hyperemesis but when it was still there 3 years later i dont know what to think will discuss all this though before going for epi but your right it just is that last hour i didn't mind the contractions so much.

Mzwid i always find cycles one feels out is cycle they conceive hope this week flies for you & you get a bfp at 10dpo hun

Molgold sorry about bfn what meds are you on? Hopefully it happens soon & when is af due? You might still be in x

 

[Mom2sam]

Ladies me & dh have decided to take break from opk etc for 2 months as i need to sort my mastitis out first. Been on 6 rounds of anti biotics & it's not clearing i'm in constant pain so they want to do scans to see what is going on inside. We decided it's best i don't get pregnant till it's sorted because once i am & hyperemesis kicks in will be bad enough coping with that without this too. Will just relax about it but wont be actively trying. I'l still come on & check in on b&b but won't be actively trying til october now. Will try to avoid fertile week too. Going to feel weird but maybe it'l help with my stress levels too & bring the excitement bk when we do try again

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Sorry to hear that mom think your prob right with that thou you don't wanna be in so much pain u end up in a n e or somethin. Hugs hope everything gets sorted keep us updated
