Aussies trying to get duffered aged 20+ !!!

[Melainey]

In the early days of this cycle but already have issues with temping. I'm never sure which temp to record. I know I should use the one after sleeping but what about when I work nights?
For example earlier this week I worked overnight, came home at 7am and temped with a result 34.71), then temped again when I woke up at lunchtime (36.17). Most times when I manage to sleep at "normal people" hours my early a.m. temp is under 35, so I figure I should use the 7am one even though I hadn't been asleep?

What way are you temping?

Orally - no way could I manage vaginally at work or at home, the bathrooms too cold in both places

Haha I do it lying in bed vaginally it's the most accurate! Are you taking it before you move i.e before going to the toilet etc???

Aww a little man would be so cute in there LLPM

oh we haven't told anyone either! I actually be pretty upset if anyone in real life could read my posts - waaaay TMI for them to know lol

I know I thought the same actually! It's general knowledge we're TTC, but yeah it's all personal stuff on here that I wouldn't want people reading!

 

[Melainey]

Yeah I agree I don't evenlet DH read it (only because he doesn't really want me charting etc..but he knows I spend most of my day on here )

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Hey everyone!!
Maddy - you need to do your temp after at least 3 hours of sleep, before moving. you can't even get out of bed or move around or have a drink of water or it pretty much makes it invalid. I also do it vaginally, I keep my thermometer in the same place so i wake up, grab it, stick it up there and i'm done for the day. lol

everybody, it's so great to see you all! you all look very happy, and I'll be so excited to add little babies into all of those pics!!!

I'll try to find a pic of me to put up!

 

[ginny83]

I know the people we told about the miscarriage will just assume we're ttc again anyway - but we haven't actually said anything.

Actually, a bit of a funny story... DF was showing my step dad pics of our house on his iphone and a pic of my digi saying "pregnant 1-2" came up that DF didn't realise I had taken. DF said he just kept scrolling and didn't say anything about it. My mum hasn't said anything to me about it, so I bet my step dad just didn't understand what it meant lol My mum would have known straight away!

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

oh, forgot to add the rest of my post...baby brain! hahahaha

I totally agree with everyone about the personal stuff on here... lol TMI...all the time!!! haha

So I will officially be devastated if AF shows this month, I have been getting my twingy pains all day on and off, I have also been having waves of nausea - about 3 times, it has made me cringe just a sick feeling that sweeps right over me. No dry-heaving or vomiting or anything, but enough to make my mouth water and to stop me in my tracks. I have also been getting a sort of 'butterfly' feeling around my belly button - only twice I think, but enough for me to notice it. it's just to the right hand side of it, not exactly behind it...

anyway, I really don't want to get my hopes up, and don't want to be eating my words, but I just really really want this to be it, cos if this isn't pregnancy, then the real thing will hit me like a tonne of bricks!! haha


now...off to find that pic...

 

[Trying2b2mums]

dont think the general public/my friends and family would ever find me, see my posts or pictures here, not too worried about it all.
When I temped, for those 3 days, i did it in bed vaginally before moving- easy peasy!!
OH knows I'm here a lot too, esp at night, but she doesn't mind, its helped me stay busy and quiet while she studies, so its been great actually, I tell her the funny not so personal stuff. She's happy ive found somewhere!
Ginny- close call!!!
I know I shouldnt have, but we've already told my mum, she knows how early on it is, but she's so good and helpful, and level headed, plus she's knows we've been trying for a long time, and she knew exactly when we were away trying this month so.... She actually had left two presents when her and my nan came to visit last Oct, and after I told her she sent me to fetch one she had hidden in the dresser in our spare room, I opened it on skype with her, she has made me a pregnancy (now til birth) scrapbook, with all the pages done, and came with stickers and embellishments, I just get to add photos and stories and whatever else. Its aboslutely gorgeous, I was sooo happy with her and with it!! Felt blessed, and I've put it back away for the next little bit until we're more confident!! But awesome nonetheless!!

 

[Trying2b2mums]

Mum2Q- FX for you. it all sounds really good, quite similar to mine, so thats good so far How long can you hold off testing? Bc i want answers darnit! hahaha

 

[Melainey]

Aw so good that you told your mum 2mums Mums are so supportive I would love mine to be here

Mum2Q everything is sounding very very good for you

I reckon this is your month!

May go back to the doctors tomorrow arvo for the results but I am so afraid that it is going to be A BIG FAT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO So I don't know what to do!

 

[Trying2b2mums]

Yeah OH has already said we will fly my mum out for the birth, I love my mum, we didnt get along well when I was younger, but when I moved out and went to Uni, things got better, now we're like best friends!!
I think good things are in store this month for Llmp, Mum2Q, and you Melainey, I would hate to eat my words, but just feels right for you ladies, and all symptoms, temp, charting and timing are saying
Melainey- all will be good, you will at least have an answer, but a bfn without a AF and a neg blood still doesnt mean a true bfn, stranger things have happened. And you will have your DH, who sounds lovely, and all of us for support.

 

[LLPM]

That's lovely...I wish my mum could have been there for my girls births, my parents came out when P was 6weeks old and when M was 6days! I would love for her to be there at my next birth but it's hard to organize it when babys aren't exactly cooperative with when you want them to arrive! Lol.

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Ok...just seeing if this works...if it does, there should be a couple of pics from my wedding last month. If not, back to the drawing board! haha

 

[Trying2b2mums]

Too true Llmp- We'll assume bc its my first, and wont be tiny, hahaha, that i'll be a little later than due date and plan her flight accordingly, and I'll have her plan a good 3-4 weeks to be here (and we'll push her lfight back if needed), assuming her DH can survive without her, I'd love for him to come also, but he absolutely detests flying (he gets claustrophobic, car rides aren't even good for him) so two flights, a connector and a 13 hour wont be his cup of tea!! Plus, we'll plan a trip back there at 3/4 months, but we're just getting ahead of ourselves at this point...oh the excitement, its gotten the better of us!!

STUNNING!!!! love the reflection pic too. Love your dress, and I'm such a sucker for a man in a pin stripe suit, handsome!! You two are so freaking cute, and he just looks like the greatest DH ever!! Can see it in his eyes, so gentle and loving. Love your hair and make-up too!!

 

[LLPM]

Ooh and I keep forgetting to reply to your question about cramping! Sorry.
It was like pulling/stretching cramping and I'd get pains in my ovary (which turned out to be the corpus luteum keeping LO in there )
I was worried but the midwife said its very normal to have cramping and as long as there's no bleeding and it's not making you double up in pain then not to worry about it! As your uterus stretches things move around a bit even really early on. I think you'll know if something's wrong!

Ladies - I've missed so much today!!! All your photos are great! Gorgeous photo 2mums - you are stunning! You and your OH look really happy together. Lucy what a gorgeous family you have - a little bubba would really complete that picture! Ginny a lovely shot of you and your DH too! Everyone on here is so good looking! I will post more pics tomorrow too including one of the SOLD sign now in front of our house - just signed and exchanged contracts ten mins ago! Thank you so much for your prayers and positive thoughts they paid off big time! The pest and building inspection went well, the buyer didn't need a bank valuation and she paid her ten percent deposit tonight - done and dusted for a record price!!! And in other news I had ov pains at about 5 this arvo - I usually get them every second month and couldn't remember which month I was up to - very hopeful that I did actually ov this month now and only a day later than last cycle - putting it down to illness and house sale stress! Now all I need is that temp rise and I'll be 100% convinced
Mum 2 a and LLPM your symptoms and lack of AF are sounding soo promising! Mainey- praying big time for you hun as you head back to the dr - may it be a Big Fat YESSSSS!

 

[Pauls_angel]

Mum 2 Q just saw your wedding pics - beautiful!!! I bet you were happy when they came back from the photographer!

 

[Pauls_angel]

Dodgy phone again - should have been Melainey not 'Mainey' lol!

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

they haven't actually come back yet, she just sent me 10 she put on facebook (cos I don't have it) so im hanging out to get them back - so excited to see them all! I got some naked ones from behind with my dress in the background - thought of the idea about a week prior to, so im super excited to see if my rare creative streak has paid off! hahaha

I know what you mean, everyone on here is really good looking, it's amazing how much more you respond to people when you find them attractive...I know that sounds vain, and i'm not like that at all, but you know what I mean, when you see attractive people, you are a bit more drawn to them?? Well I'm very drawn to all you ladies! lol
