Aussies trying to get duffered aged 20+ !!!

There are a few different codes, you have to make sure you read what each one is for. I think it's the message board signature one....

Lol couldn't resist the temptation, phones make this too accessible no matter where you are. Lol

If anyone feels like a good light hearted read over a few days, there is a great thread, I think it's in the pregnancy section. It's called funny/embarrassing labour stories. It's a good laugh if you need some cheering up

 

[Melainey]

None of them show my chart

I know it is so addictive hey I can't stay away!

I shall have a browse

 

[LLPM]

Haha. Sounds funny! My labours were completely different, I was in total shock after Maggie was born! Poppys was 24hour induced then emergency c-section, Maggie's was 6.5hour natural and walked out the next day as if nothing happened!

Hi Ladies,

Wow, you get sick for a couple of days and miss pages and pages! There is so much activity on this thread!!!

I've been temping for a few months now, and either get up at 5am or 6am every day...I've noticed by 5am temps are always about .1/.15 less than my 6am temps. I've also found a bbt converter in which you can input the time you took your temp, your temp, and the time you normally take it, and the converter will work out your 'adjusted temp', just in case you were interested: https://www.whenmybaby.com/basalbodytemperature.php

Happy friday everyone, I have been reading and catching up but instead of commenting and missing something I might just start a fresh again now...

 

[number2woohoo]

It's when the data has inconsistencies, it's just to say check out your stats if you think something may be causing your temp to be different. I've been sleeping badly lately, so testing at different times, I think that's what's causing the blue outlines

That makes me notice mine has white dots today and yesterday. Didn't even notice before!

Morning/Afternoon ladies...
All caught up... I slept until noon- but couldnt go to sleep until 3am, so i dont think it means much! No other real symptoms, woke up sneezing, runny nose and headache- but could be anything.
First day of temping/charting.. was 36.95- seems high, but i have nothing to compare too and I was wearing sweats and under 4 layers of bedding...thoughts or not worth it??

Mum2q- have a good day, and i dare you to stay away, hahaha
Melainey- i wish a BFP for you, or AF so you can try again soon, but fx for the former!!!
Newbie-welcome back
Angel - sticky eggs for you this ov!!
LLmp- glad all is good with hubby, enjoy your cuddly day with the girls!!

 

[LLPM]

Oooh to sleep in till noon...hehe
Wouldn't look into these first few temps too much, they vary so much within your own cycle and from person to person! I really should convert my chart to Celsius, I chart in Fahrenheit because I bought a US thermometer! Doh!
Try to be consistent with the time you take temps, heaps more accurate and I've heard vaginal temps are way more reliable but i can never be bothered with that! I found I got obsessed with temping so have had months where I haven't charted but always find it frustrating not knowing where I am in my cycle! And for sure don't test twice...

Thanks, I temped when I first awoke at 9am, so probably was a little warm, i think i'll be temping closer to 530-7am (depending on job) in the future. It was my first time doing vag temp, actually found it easier, could slip it in and not have to worry about my breathing haha! Shall continue this glorious waiting game

 

[Pauls_angel]

Weirdly enough I am not able to share my chartfor some reason only this comes up?

My Ovulation Chart

Strange

At least you know where you are now Somuch nicer knowing hey Good luck and hope you get that bfp

Melainey - when you copied the BB code did you copy the simple link or the chart thumbnail... I made the same mistake at first - you need to copy the thumbnail code for a little pic of your chart to appear in your signature

LLPM and Melainey - I am still very hopeful for the two of you - the witch has not arrived and your temps are still high so am thinking you still may get bfps

 

[Pauls_angel]

Hope you're all having a great day I am a little bit addicted to this site too

Welcome back Newbie! Thanks for thie bbt time converter link... will give it a go

2mums - nice sleep in - I slept in til 9:30am today as I am not at work and have been unwell - I haven't slept that long for months! Nothing like a good sleep in .

 

[LLPM]

Me too! Every chance I get I hop on to see who's online! Haha...oh well it's nice to have new friends!
Sounds good 2mums, I usually get up around 6:30 so I can be showered before the girls are up, so I usually do it then, but some days I've done it after lunch that converter might come in handy! Thanks newbie (& welcome back - hope you haven't been too sick!)

 

[Newbie32]

V jealous of the sleep ins! (says she who was up at 5am this morning lol...)

So what have i missed? Anyone testing soon? I think there are a couple of us getting closer to O time now? Hoping mine will be in about a week...i always find this TWW really slow going and boring...nothing but encouraging that little eggy to come out and play!

 

[Trying2b2mums]

newbie, i am hoping to wait until next friday to test, assuming I dont get more impatient, im waiting on symptoms either pregnancy or AF to help me make my testing decisions. Ive seen so many BFNs the past 7 cycles, i dont want to see anymore!!
Sending you sticky egg

 

[LLPM]

Yeah both ends are painful, waiting to O then you feel good for about 4days then the frustration of waiting for AF or a BFP starts!
A few of us have been testing, but so far I think Ginny is the only one with her BFP!
I realized I got my dates totally wrong (O'd two weeks after I was supposed to due to having gastro when I was supposed to O!!) so AF is due mon/tues and will test wed/thurs if no AF. Melainey is Still testing but getting BFN's too...so just waiting waiting!!
2mums is 8dpo??! So approaching test time territory (not quick enough I'm sure?!)
Angel waiting for O.
Hmmm, can't think where everyone else is upto - sorry!!

 

[Pauls_angel]

Newbie - 5am ouch! Although when not off sick the alarm goes off at 5:30am as hubby is a tradie and has to be at work super early. Even though I don't have to be at work until 8:15am I usually get there by about 6:30-6:45 and stay until 4:30-5:00 so I can get my work done while he is at work and not have to bring work home if possible - so am feeling very happy about my sleep in today

Yay to be getting close to ov time for you ... I think I will ov tomorrow... will keep you all posted

grasping at more straws, as i went and used the converter, bc a few months back i was testing at 630 am, so i used that, and this temp had me 36.6 and i normally was in the 35s, so i shall grasp and hope, but also realize its far fetched

FF seems to think I am due to ovulate in 4 days. I'm not so convinced but will take it on board.

 

[number2woohoo]

Wow you ladies have been busy posting away all Arvo!! Lol.
I'm a stay at home mummy! LOVE it, would never work to pay for a bigger house, better car, nicer Clothes etc! I love being the one who is there for them when they wake from their naps, to give them their meals and teach them about the world around them! I know some people say they'd feel unfulfilled staying at home but I just can't get that...I get my emotional, physical, need to feel needed top up numerous times a day!

I wish I could be a stay at home mum! Very jealous!

I think OzPippy got a bfp too - although she hasn't been on in ages so not sure how she is going - hopefully it is sticking

Also Melainey, Mum 2 Q, lisa and maddy are all waiting to test too - I think and number2Woohoo is waiting to ov...

Sorry if I have forgotten people too - it is hard to keep up

Ah well to each their own. For me I feel lucky that DH is currently studying and will be a SAHD when the time comes. He doesn't earn enough to pay the mortgage, but I do, so we all win

We're the same - if one of us gets to stay home it will be my other half. He's not sure he could do it though.
