Aussies trying to get duffered aged 20+ !!!

[Lisasmith]

Ginny: yeah i think i just needed to pee on something since DH has said no for a couple more days!
I always find it reassuring to see a second line on something!

Melainey sweet! you are SO not out. my understanding is that you Cannot have a false positive but you absolutely can have a false negative. (this is to you too Lisa S actually). We dont know, till we know. you arent out till AF arrives and then its just that month you are out (i know they all pile onto each other) but we absolutely cannot lose hope!
I think that is why we are all here...to share the stories, and the crazy but to remind each other not to lose hope! i know so many stories!
Maddy (and everyone) my Aunt...tried and tried for kids for ages, IVF...a bust....everything....went out for a dinner with her DH, bit of Indian food if i remember....BAM twins! she was easily in her mid 40s, and they are the best parents! I have so many of these stories. That will one day be our stories...so please no losing hope!

I am only 9-10 dpo so I know I'm being a bit precious about it! Thank you

 

[number2woohoo]

Hmm I don't like Indian food but I suppose I'd eat it if it meant twins

Yes it was a bit of a spike today - guess I ovulated yesterday, shame DH was too worn out to... er... finish the last 2 days - think I freaked him out by showing him my chart, lol - the pressure got to his performance!

Rosie - your chart is also looking fab, when are you going to test?

Thanks! Of course I tested yesterday and today, both BFNs!!!! I am such a POAS addict!!!! when will I learn????

 

[ginny83]

Still very early, you'd be very lucky to get a BFP at 8DPO!

 

[Melainey]

Your chart does look GREAT Rosie How do you temp? Vag?

If you're anything like me, never.

 

[Melainey]

I am such a POAS addict too

I am so gona try and stop tho

How is everyone doing?

 

[Rosie_PA]

Your chart does look GREAT Rosie How do you temp? Vag?

I do temp vaginally because I know I sleep with my mouth open a good bit of the time so I don't think oral temping would be very accurate for me...

 

[Melainey]

Yeah I am the same Hopefully you get your BFP soon xxx

 

[Lisasmith]

I do temp vaginally because I know I sleep with my mouth open a good bit of the time so I don't think oral temping would be very accurate for me...

I'm a mouth open sleeper too! How does vaginal temping work if you don't mind my asking? And do you temp during af?

 

[Melainey]

I just stick it in there every morning and yeah I temp during AF but not everybody does Just buy the anti bacterial wipes to wipe with after

 

[Rosie_PA]

I agree with Laineypop, that's what I do too!!

Thanks! I'll buy me some wipes

 

[Melainey]

Enjoy

Enjoy

Hahahahaha! Tmi, I just for the sake of trying did a vag temp and oral temp at the same time! quite the temp difference though

Ive often wondered about the different methods of temping? can anyone explain the advantages of V temp over orally?

one of the reasons i didnt temp every day this month is that it was something of a BD killer for DH....i did learn the first month of using OPKs that running from the bathroom to the living room with OPK in hand screaming "im ovulating take your pants off" isnt a great way to get the job done! neither is breaking away from a cuddle to temp before BD. I cant see sticking one in the old Vag would improve that scenario!
...so at 11 DPO it went up to 36.70 (yesterday 36.60)...what am i actually looking for here though? triphasic?

From what I have read it gives more accurate temperatures

Hi girls, finally have 5 minutes to jump on here-the 2 year old is finally asleep!! Abby, not sure the advantages of v testing but I assume it will be far more accurate than oral testing. With that said, both should follow the same trends.

Rosie, OMG your chart I'd looking crazy good! Can't wait to test together, nearly bought the clear blue digitals today but resisted...I took a whole lot is urine cups from work yesterday so that I can start peeing into them next week. Hopefully I can resist until Thursday seeing that I will be 13DPO then...key word being "hopefully"!!!

Melainey, hope your feeling a little better now as the days goes on and Lisa, when will you test?

Off to make an orange and poppyseed cake!! xxxx

Hey ladies! Lainey big huggy squeeze for you. I know my IC tests say not to look at them again after the 10 min period is up b/c the results are not reliable. But hopefully you are just cooking away in there and not emitting any chemicals yet! HUGS HUGS HUGS.

Talking of temping, I swapped to temping in the vee-jay-jay since DH is away. First day of doing 2 charts today (one temp at normal time but with no sleep since I worked nightshift, one temp at lunchtime when I woke up after a few hours sleep). Not a huge difference in temps actually.

Will be on tonight again at work. Chat then!
