Hi Lovelies! This thread is soo soo very addictive... my class are reading silently at the moment so I've just jumped on to say a quick hello! Lunch time in half an hour will catch up on all your posts then! Missing you all!

 

[lisamfr]

Newbie- did you start charting your temp right away, at first cycle TTC?

Also, do you ladies chart temps and use opk's?

Hi Rosie, I am only useing OPK havent started charting yet.

 

[LLPM]

Hi rosie, I've charted on & off, it's get addictive and easy to become a bit obsessed, so I have had the odd month off. Have used OPK's in the past too, found they worked well for me but charting worked just as well and everyone is different with how long the LH shows up on the OPK so it's easy to miss your surge if you only have a 12hour surge! they get pricey too.

 

[Pauls_angel]

Hi Ladies - lunchtime! It is quieter on here today than normal - I've just had a quick read thru and only had 2 pages worth to catch up on

Hopefully it means you are all out having lovely days and not too busy working!

Thinking of you all

 

[LLPM]

Yeah I went out for the morning and came back to only about 10posts!! Lol.
We're having a busy day, had bible study this morning then have an appointment at 2pm (leaving Maggie at home with a friend!) and then come back get Maggie and go and do the grocery shopping, then pick liam up at 5& have dinner on the table for 6pm!! Busy busy!! Hehe. Hope your day at school is going OK?!

Hi everyone, how you're all well!

Welcome Rosie

2mums - I haven't POAS today either! I did one last FRER yesterday and now have stopped. I'm so anxious about my dating scan and it's still 3 weeks away agh!

Angel - yay for cross hairs!!

Hi lisa, melainey, mum2, number2, LLPM, Newbie, pammy and everyone else I've missed

I've had a busy morning - playgroup with DS, trying to sort out progress payments for our house and I still have a huge assignment that's due on Sunday that I need to work on.

At the GP yesterday she got me to have a flu shot, just as extra precaution even though the flu season is nearly over. It really hurt and I've got a very sore arm where I got the shot - which is a common side affect so I was told. Anyway, I feel very sooky with me sore arm

 

[Melainey]

Hello all my lovely ladies

Have to give you your TMI for the day

I just let the biggest ripper of a fart and there was nobody here to hear it and I giggled to myself for at least 2 minutes haha! Had to share as DH would have looked on in disgust

Welcome Rosie - I think you will like it here This was my first month charting buthave been ttc for a year now I love it but don't really let DH get involved as he thinks that this is stressful but I think it is quite the opposite

Angel and mum2Q your charts look fabolous I really hope you catch those eggys

Hello everybody else Much love to send to you all

xx

Melainey will kiss it better *kiss* All better?

I don'treally believe in the flu shot But each to their own

 

[ginny83]

Thanks for the sympathy

I've never had one before, but I did some reading about it when I got home to make sure my GP was right about it being safe and it's actually recommended to get one during pregnancy if you haven't had it.

One of the main reasons is that it protects you against swine flu which can cause complications in pregnant women.

I know not everyone agrees with vaccinations, but I'm willing to do whatever my GP says to try and make sure this baby sticks! Plus I agree with vaccinations anyway so not a hard decision for me... just a bit sore

 

[ginny83]

haha just saw your fart post Melainey hehe

I run the flu vaccination program at work so i've been getting it for the past 5 or so years and i always sook after it! And always get dead arm syndrome, so i feel your pain Ginny!!!

 

[Melainey]

I don't think my hubby wouldlet me get one hahabut to be honest I wouldn't get the flu one anyway but I do believe in some vaccinations! I didn't get them all as I was born in Germany and they have different ways over there and I turned out A ok well a little kooky but ya know nothing major hehehe

That is definitly a good reason to start charting...guess I'll be getting a thermometer this weekend.... I am slightly worried I will get obsessive with it like I am with POAS, seriously 6 months ago I would have never dreamt I would have peed on so many darn sticks in 4 months!!!

 

[Pauls_angel]

Nothing wrong with being a little kooky! My parents both called me kooky as a nickname when I was younger and DH always tell me one of his favourite things about me is that I am nuts! I love him for the same reason too - life is much more fun because of it! I love that we can still act like kids together even though we are in our thirties - although some people I'm sure would have us committed! Also one of the main reasons I became a primary teacher - you can be a bit silly and the kiddies love you for it!

It can be hard not to obsess over it - although the data it gives you on your cycle is invaluable

 

[Melainey]

I love being kooky too DH is the worst for it haha! He has ADHD and will alwaysbe a big kid at heart and I love it Why the hell would we all want to be boring anyway hey hehehehe

To be honest Pammy I love charting! I mean I obsess a little like everyone does but becauseof our little group I am also kept a little sane too

Still no sign of that bloody witch but temps dropped another .05 today pretty much dropped 0.05 for the past 3 days

 

[ginny83]

Melainey, I think the temps dropping is a good sign that AF will be here soon

I also love charting! It's exciting to see what every new morning will bring. Although I have to admit I'm not missing squinting at my phone half asleep trying to see my updated chart haha

 

[Pammy31]

Hello Ginny.... Melainey I hope you are preggers... and the tests are stuffed... lol I am trying not to do the whole temping thing due to my partner not wanting me to push him into falling pregnant. I understand that but I will eventually get pregnant with us not preventing... unless I am not oving or he is shooting blanks. I want him to get his swimmers checked.

Melainey has your doctor considered any treatment like clomid etc? That would force your body to ovulate if it's looking like that might be part of the problem?!
Hope AF shows up soon for you...I'm still waiting!
