Aphrodite...Conceiving Tigers in 2010 - 17 Graduates so far!

[Tinkerbell500]

Having some serious bad luck here...... Finlay and Jack had awful temperatures over Xmas and had to take them both to docs this morning as have awful coughs and Finlay had rash all over his little body. Turns out they both have bronchitis and have been projectile vomitting due to their horrible coughs. Jack is 10 months old and refusing drink and has not had wet nappy since early this morning so looks like we are going back to docs later at 6pm..... Just wondering how much worse this month is going to get.... What with chemical last month and Finlay being in hospital with balinitis just before Xmas an wondering what is next! : (

hibiscus, that's great! hope you ov very soon! :babydust:

Brit, I had EWCM a couple of days after af the cycle before last but I still ended up ovulating at the regular time. Not sure if it will be the same for you but get bding just in case!

tinkerbell, I'm sorry that you are going through such a rough time. Hope you and your family are feeling better soon

 

[Devi#1]

Oh no tinkerbell.. hope everyone gets well soon..

My chart looks a bit crazy.. I think yesterday tooo high temp is because I had a cold.. Oh well.. will see how it goes.. but I still think ( & the software says) I am on 2 DPO.. today temp is at the coverline.. now its just a waiting game.. I don't even want to think about testing .. the more I think about it the more I will want to . . I def wont be thinking about it till next Monday because of the long weekend. and then it will be 1ww.. now that is the hard bit..

 

[Devi#1]

Ladies I have a question.. DH planning to go skiing this weekend .. I don't know how to, so I would be taking 3 lessons (over 3 weeks). Do you think it is advisable for me to go skiing during the 2WW?? I would be a beginner so I think I will defiantly fall quite a bit.. I know that when pregnant skiing is a BIG BIG NO NO..

The lessons are expensive so I don't want to waste the money on the lessons, in case I am pregnant (I hope). What do you guys think?

 

[Britt11]

HI Devi,
I am a big snowboarder being from Calgary/Banff, so cool question. Not sure, I definitely board during the 2ww and am not worried but i understand what you mean about being concerned about falling lots. I think you would be fine but honestly you might be so paranoid about injuring yourself that you will not perform or learn your best, do you know what i mean? its kind of like when you wear a helmut, you feel safer and you ski really well with it on but without it their is hesitation and you actually ski worse....I think it would be the same thing and you might waste your money because of that alone. Actually DH and I talked that i would probably still ski a bit in early pregs down easy runs because if you fall its more of a glide, on a snowboard you catch an edge and its a hard hit.
I am actually talking a break from soccer during the 2ww this time because it is really rough.
All the best to you, yeah a fellow skiier friend!! you should try boarding eventually too!
xx

Evening Tiger Mummies-to-be!

Britt...I often get EWCM very early on in a cycle! My rule still stands that, if I see it, I get BDing because you never know when your body might spit out an egg! Ok so I didn't exactly follow that rule this cycle, because if you look at my chart that would be WAY to much BDing (for me anyway).

hibsicus...Yay for first EWCM! Hope you get your peak on the monitor soon.

Tinker....oh dear you are being dragged through the mill this cycle! hope they all get well soon. They say bad things come in threes and I have decided you have had your quota! Only good luck for you from now on! x

nicole....glad to see you are back I was wondering how you were doing. Are you coming up to ov soon or are you a day 20 gal like me?

Devi...I still think you ovd like you said your temp today is still high enough!

Hope we have done enough Bding this cycle...I am so tired! Will probably get another one in tomorrow morning to be sure!

Quick question for you girls (will post in TTC too)...I am supposed to go to a spa day at 12dpo. I have heard that hot tubs/saunas - even hot baths are bad in the early stages as are many aromatheraphy oils. I intend to test at 10dpo and again the morning of the spa. Question is, if it is negative do I go to the spa? Not sure its worth the risk?!? If its positive I might still have to go and just swim because I have paid now and it will cost others more if I let my friend down. It is for her 30th birthday.
Don't like TTC to rule my life but I REALLY don't want to take any stoopid chances. x

I hope you are right! Kids are in bed now and Jack had Nurofen and Calpol so knocked him out somewhat! Hope he sleeps well and feels a bit better tomorrow. Finlay has really perked up this afternoon so I am really hoping we are through the worst.

I have been having some cramps but not sure if it's stress! Also have an ulcer in my mouth and I never get these..... must be run down! Had really wet sensation a few times today but when I checked there was just creamy cm. Cervix keeps fluctuating between high and low throughout the day but is now very firm (tmi). Not sure though whether this cycle could be a good one or not as was also very stressful with the kids being ill and all...... time will tell! I am incredibly knackered at the mo. Been seriously pigging out on xmas
chocs and biscuits so am very bloated! lol

This cycle I have ha d EWCM on and off the whole time but it got plentiful around ov but just when I thought it had gone I got another load so BD'ed often in the hope to catch that eggy!

Anyhoo..... I have a horse (and my name is Jo btw 2016)! and I rode whilst pregnant until I couldn't do it any longer - but I was sensible - I cut out cantering and jumping etc.... So they say you can carry on with pre-pregnancy exercise etc but not to introduce anything new so I think probably best not to put your life on hold...... however, saunas/spas etc are not good due to temperatures so best to stick to gentle swimming me thinks - reflexology can be good in pregnancy too so I am told! Have fun 2016!!!

Good luck to all you gals out there - lets go get our bfps!!!!

Mommymichele - any more symptoms?? Do you 'feel' pregnant??!!

 

[2016]

tinker...I have a horse too although I only started riding about 3 years ago and just bought my first horse 5 months ago. He's a welsh section d, 14.3hh, 8yo bay gelding. I loaned him for a year before he went up for sale and, of course, we couldn't be parted!
Jo is an awesome name for a horse
What do you do with him? I am a happy hacker myself and do Parelli and have also been studying Equine Touch.

Ps. Sorry girls for switching to horse talk I can't help myself

 

[EllaMom2B]

Anyone else CD 1? I could use some PMA / ttc buddies!

 

[Britt11]

CD8 hon, so not far ahead of you. Definitely can be TTC buddies.
hope this is a lucky cycle for us
Hugs,

 

[2016]

EllaMom...you are most welcome here - whatever your calendar day We are all at different points in our cycle (see page 1) because, with different cycle lengths we don't cycle exactly the same for long
Do you want me to add you to the first page so you can get your 2010 Tiger with us?

*******

Girls...My temp went up a bit today but just to where the coverline is so I am not too impressed. I notice in previous cycles it was only on the coverline at 1dpo so I think that's just my pattern. I did have the most mahooosive ov pains last night on both sides and i think my CM has turned creamy although there is tons of it? (last night's leftovers maybe )
I had the WORST nights sleep ever last night with the most awful nightmares. I felt like I was on fire most of the night so I was a bit dissappointed with such a weedy shift tbh.
What do you think?

ps. I put my crosshairs in myself because I am impatient and FF does tend to mess me about with low post ov temps (including on my BFP cycle)

 

[Tinkerbell500]

Hey 2016..... My horse is a Hanovarian cross thoroughbred who is 16.3hh and 13 years old. She's called Parsley (I'm called Jo) and I've has her for about 7 years (she's my first horse too). Used to do bit of cross country etc but not just happy hacker! ; )

hope you caught your eggy during her short appearance! Lol x

boys are getting better now but Jack still quite poorly but at least they slept through last night.... Was starting to resemble a zombie and a very grumpy one at that! Lol

 

[Joli]

2016, I am usually around my coverline 1dpo as well, then it goes up, so hang in there! You'll know more tomorrow I'm in the same boat - my temp dipped yesterday (but I'm not sure if that was because I wasn't taking my temp properly), and then it went up today to the coverline (but again, not sure if that's because I was 1 hour late in taking my temp or not!)... so I'm going to have to wait and see tomorrow if it gets any higher... if so, I could be at 1dpo (even though my OPKs were not clear +'s...). Fx'd for us!!

Welcome EllaMom!

 

[iwanta8a8y]

Hi ladies, sorry to have been away for such a long time, found out over Christmas that my sister is pregnant so i havent been feeling great about the whole situation!! Anyway, not up for talking about that at the mo so swiftly moving on...

Congrats to LittleAurora on your BFP thats great news for you! FX for everything else to be conceiving that little tiger this year.

So, since AF came before Christmas i have taken your advise and started to temp. I am not sure what my cycle length will be this cycle as they have previously been; 33days, 32days, 33days, 40days - so they seem to be getting longer -

When will i get a cover line? My temps seem to be quite erratic - is that right? have a look (just click on my FF ticker) and if you can let me know what you think that would be great.

Its nice to be back with you ladies

 

[LittleAurora]

hello all!! cold this moring! not to mention sick

 

[2016]

Yaaaay! Welcome back iwanta8a8y! I wondered where you went!

Glad to hear you have started temping...that should, hopefully, give you way more understanding of your cycle. I will put a link to your chart on the front page too.
Temps can be all over the place, especially during/just after AF. As long as you try take your temp at the same time each day when you first wake up without moving or talking you should be fine. You will get a coverline three days after you ovulate. I think it basically takes the last 6 temps before ovulation and adds 1/10th.
I will be stalking you from now on so will let you know if I see anything of note

My real life BF who is 8+4 pregnant (we started trying at the same time) said "why dont you hurry up and get pregnant already otherwise we wont have any time to be bump buddies". Like there is anything I can jolly well do about it!
I am not jealous of her pregnancy and do everything to help her and wish her well (like I would you girls) but that did hurt a bit

 

[iwanta8a8y]

Oh yeah, i too will do everything I can to help her etc, just feeling the why her not me at the moment, I will crack out of it soon, everything happens for a reason and our time will come...

With my temping, i have ben trying to do it at the same time every morning, but as we are off work at the mo etc each morning is a bit different, when i am back at work in the new year then it will be more stable hopefuly. I temp as soon as i wake up - normally i am waking up to my OH whispering 'do your temp' as he knows i cant talk to him or move until they have been done, lol bless him

I was full of PMA before Christmas so i will be again for the new year. 2016 see you are in the TWW now, FX for you, i will be looking at your chart to see how you get on.

FX for everyone in the TWW and those who are waiting for the big O

 

[hibiscus07]

Morning, all!
Congrats on O'ing, 2016! Yay
I got my first peak on CBFM this morning.
Feeling really frustrated, though. DH and I had sex twice last night and once this morning and he can't ejaculate! I mentioned before that he started an anti-depressant/anti-anxiety thing and it's really have an effect. He's not been in the mood, really, but I finally got him in the mood and he just can't finish.
If we don't have "success" tonight, this month is out, I think. Oh well...

 

[EllaMom2B]

Add me to the first page? I'd love a Tiger with you all!

Fingers crossed for those right around OV (esp. Hibiscus -- must be the antidepressants... I'm sorry for you both)!

 

[Britt11]

Hello lovely ladies, it was so nice to log on and see your updates.
Yeah Ella, glad to have you on this thread, sounds like we have a lot in common.
2016, I wish I could help you with your temps, but unfortunately I dont temp (prob should). I dont because I find this whole TTC thing stressful already, but it would definitely help me understand my body if I did. I am doing OPK's but basically its just telling me that I O on exactly the time I'm suppose to...lol but its nice to have a confirmation
Welcome back I wantababy, I actually had a similar thing happen to me with a good friend of mine too- she was like "seriously I am due in 2 months and we need to be on mat leave together"...agghghhhhh!!
Finally Hibiscus, first off LOVE the new profile pic, secondly I know this is kind of private but the TTC forum is a way to help each other out right? Anyway, my hubbie has had issues from when he was quite young, anyway long story short he is only 32 and uses Viagra from time to time. There is no way we would be able to ahhummm "finish" so to speak without it on a regular basis. Might be worth a shot for you guys to try it if he is finding difficulty to get in the mood and finishing.
sorry if tmi, but I just felt your pain and wanted to offer some advice that works for us.
talk soon ladies
hugs,
