Trying2b2mums - good luck with the job. Hope you get it.

How long has everyone been trying for?

I don’t check me temp or chart. But I use the OPK. Has anyone tried to use them?

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Yeah, it is annoying! I am so glad I started charting so I can see something at least.... At the same time. I wish I knew what went on at the start of it now! Haha

Don't let age get the better of you, there is still a definite chance to grow your families!! Just keep your china up!

Ginny, do you have any more updates?

Misread that and thought you said "Just keep your vagina up"
I choked on my cup of tea and spat it all over my desk.
Too funny.
Time to put my glasses on, hahaha.

Haha so funny!! I meant chins... Oops!! Hahaha

Thank you! We have been trying for 1.5 years but took a break to regroup, so we are on official trying 8th cycle. I tried to temp, wasn't consistent enough, i cant figure out the charting, and I've never gotten a clear reading on OPKs... so I go by timing, by how I feel, I check cm but even that's not consistent, what I have found in the recent months is I gain weight, retain a lot of fluid mid cycle, (can be a few days of a 3/4kg weight gain) which can be a sign of ovulation, so I weigh myself daily, if not twice a day. Can be so frustrating trying to figure out when I O, but I really did think our timing was good this month!

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Llpm, hopefully we will have an Answer here soon!

Good luck for interview 2mums!

I'm living the group we've found too! It's hard to keep up sometimes lol but it's nice to want to follow others too. I found I had to go off for a month last time cos it was getting to me thinking about it too much, but this is nice to have people all at different stages and actually having conversations.


I have. Even trying for 11 months. What about you?

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Sorry... Been trying... Stupid phone!

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

2mums, I found I didn't like temping, but now live it. Once you get in the habit it's good. I do it vaginally instead of orally and find I get a more consistent result. I just write it on a bit of Paper and do the data entry on ff when I get up & about. It's amazing how much you learn about your body!

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

SoRry again... I love it, not live it... I'm gonna call it a day til back in my computer. Sorry girls!

I was trying to do by the online calculator & then one of my girlfriends told me about OPK. I tried first response twice & I didn’t get a reading. So clearblue digital came on sale so I brought one. At the same time I also bought a discover OPK and started doing it morning and night. Discover OPK started to show and then as the lines got dark the digital gave me a smiley face. This is our four month trying. But I am desperate for a boy. SO I need to get a close as possible to OV. Which is driving my husband mad!! As he wants a second just as bad as I do.

Lots of questions! Lol

Lisa, Poppy just turned 3 and Maggie is 16months today! love having them close, they are best friends and even though it's hard sometimes most of the time they keep each other entertained! I think that's why we're so keen to have another one ASAP! The girls are 21months apart and we only want one more, so i don't want 3 to be heaps younger and left behind! We were hoping for less than 2years gap but it wasn't meant to be...
We've been trying for 8months, we started in November when I weaned Maggie from breast feeding (I didn't get periods until I weaned both girls!) but it's taken a while for my cycles to settle. I was on b-complex to lengthen LP but it Just regularized my cycle instead of extended the LP so I stopped taking it and since then my cycles have been 34days!

LLPM, we two where trying to have our children close in age. But as the months go by its getting mor frustrating. This is the first month since we started trying that I haven't got cramps a week before AF so I have my fx.

Talking to all you girls are helping too because it keeps my mind off think to much about or testing early. So thank you all!!!

 

[ginny83]

Lisa - I used OPKs, they worked great for me. My 'plan' was to do it every second day before I got a positive on an OPK, and then bed 3 days in a row. Didn't work out exactly like that in the end, but worked enough

Number2 - oh I hope it was just implantation bleeding too!

Hi to everyone else! Really hope we get some more BFPs soon

My little boy is called Max, he's 18 months old now - such a fun age!

I had a blood test yesterday and got the results this morning. My hcg level was 314 at 14DPO. I know it's really more about how your levels are increasing, but I'm still pretty happy with that!

 

[Pauls_angel]

I am really appreicating all the support in this group too - really helps to pass the time in a much more positive way... we get to encourage one another and keep each other positive rather than getting caught up in all the 'what if's...' and becoming too obsessed with symptom spotting and early testing Thanks girls! It is so much more fun this time round having you all to share it with! xx

 

[LLPM]

Cathie, hope you O tomorrow! Praying you catch that little egg - I watched that clip you put up from Louie, it's so amazing! Even for those that don't believe in God the scientific aspect of it still is incredible!!
I've spent today accepting that I probably got my date wrong and surprisingly I'm ok with it, we bd'd Friday & Sunday so if I did O then we're still in with a good chance!

 

[Melainey]

HELLO ladies

I was thinking that all you lovely ladies get up so freaking early but then realises I am probablythe only one in WA hehehehe Missed heaps so here I go...

Number2woohoo -That does look like implantaion I am really hoping that it is Normally your temps would stay down after AF!

Trying2b2mums - Fx for you that you did get ovulation correct I am hopeful you did
FX with the interview too ... I myself am outof a job and finding it very ery difficult getting a job(for the first time in my life) haha

lisa,llpm -Your signs look promising FX for you both

Mum2Quigly - I hate when ff does that haha but at least it means you are not out either way - So if you did end up ovulating earlier it would be heaps of time for the HCG to kick in next week

Angel - get busy with the hehehehe always fun to do and I hope you catch that eggy

I hope I didn't forget anybody!If I did i'm sorry

As for me ... Still no Af and my tempis still high so I suppose I will stay hopeful Sometime my cycles are 39 days which is in 2 days soI am gona wait until Monday to test again incase I got my dates wrong? But I cant see how I have hmmm Wish I knew my LP length haha

Here is my chart! At the start I was doing my temps wrong so I think That is why they are all over the place!

 

[LLPM]

Melainey your chart looks awesome!! I didn't notice it before! really hope it's your turn! Xx

 

[Pauls_angel]

Melainey your chart looks awesome!! I didn't notice it before! really hope it's your turn! Xx

I agree - your dip in temps at 7dpo could very well be implantation too - ooo really hope you get a bfp!

 

[Melainey]

Thank you so much LLPM I really hope so too.. x

For some reason I am not able to put it in my signature so I have to save it and add as attachment all the time hehehe so that'smprob why you haven't noticed it You're not going crazy yet hehe

 

[LLPM]

Lol, probably explains it! Yeah that 7dpo dip looks very promising! How many charts do you have? Have you compared them?
19dpo though...surely you'd be getting a BFP! Did you test today?
I agree you O'd when your chart says...symptoms all line up! Ooh I'm excited for you now!

 

[ginny83]

Melainey, I think there is also a chance you didn't O until CD26... which would make you 12DPO at the moment?

 

[LLPM]

Melainey, I think there is also a chance you didn't O until CD26... which would make you 12DPO at the moment?

True...although the ewcm came a few days before that?! A pre-o dip wouldn't usually be that big though either! Potentially though...
