[CLOSED GROUP] TTC to 1st diaper - Welcome Freya! Congrats to fezzle!

[LillyTame]

With me and my OH...the instances are few and far between, but they happen. Usually it's like a couple days of build up where I just find he is being extra annoying lol And then there were a few more frequent times when...let's just say I had to get my meds right

I hope you are just being extra hormonal!

Speaking of hormones....I just realized me not having any symptoms today totally makes sense with my fallback temp Ummmm...I'm no Clandestine lol so if you are wondering what I mean by a fall back temp you'll have to give it a quick google lol Basically...lack of the right hormone equals less symptoms, whether pre-AF or Pre-BFP (since they are pretty similiar), right?

 

[Snackimals]

ok. the last paragraph Lil... ummm, like, whaaaaaaaaaaaat?
(heheehehe) ((where is that CLANDIE!?))

i actually think i'm being crazy cuz i'm not pregnant already... so, yeah. not hormones, just bat-shit-crazy, you know: BSC. plus, he does not know, but my mom kinda pissed me off while he was gone- over the phone- so the 'angry cocktail' wasn't all his doing i suppose.

i just never do get a good 4th of july....

Its super early still Lil, regards your DPO... so I am totally as glued to your charts as ever!

 

[LillyTame]

Ok, maybe this will help Snack:

"Fallback rise is a BBT chart pattern in which your temperature rises after ovulation but then falls back down immediately. This usually happens at 2-3 dpo. It then goes back up shortly after.

Before O, estrogen levels peak and then drop, causing LH level to peak and then drop, causing ovulation. One theory of fallback rise is that the estrogen level is still dropping after the LH level has dropped, and the progesterone levels have not risen high enough to push the temperature up. Estrogen causes low temps, progesterone high temps. By the next day, the estrogen level is down and the progesterone level pushes the temperature back up. The result is a chart that looks like mine this time. "

So basically, I'm betting my temps will rise again tomorrow and with the increased progesterone I can start SS again

Hi ladies,

I read about your 4th of July. Mine was good, spent it at my parents house and I still have three days off before I have to go back to work. It's getting to be an exciting time! Getting closer to testing for all of you on the same cycle.

I'm on cd 7 now so sexy time is coming up again.

 

[Snackimals]

Go Team TTC!!!
You get your practice on Lamago! I'll be on to the next cycle in no time

 

[lamago]

Snack do you have a journal? I don't, I just get too tied up at work and it's hard to at home. But I thinking I should start one to get all the blues out. But your right, I think I'll get some practice in tonight

What dpo are you? Don't you test on the 15th?

 

[Snackimals]

Oh. I have a journal...
I'll post a link.

I'm on progesterone this cycle. Like, since AF. I had a TERRIBLE scary-movie type AF this last time. I think ovulation just didn't happen for me this Cycle... I'm over it.

I can't wait for the next one!

Journals help! They also help you stay positive, cuz u wanna have some good updates and fun stuff to talk about and, of course, you also get to vent

[txbiscuit]

I will read your journal lamago. I will try not to explode all over your journal with rainbows and sunshine, but I can't make any promises.

 

[Snackimals]

Please be advised, the statement above must be taken as factual warning...

 

[lamago]

Snack, I, so silly, I was already subscribed! If I start a journal then everyone will know how gloomy I am, but I dont like being gloomy on this thread because I like our cheery tone but the vent tread is toooo gloomy. I need just the right measure of happy/sad.

My mom laughed at me the other day bc I said I was crying bc of af. She has 7 kids and she started laughing and said she cried because she was pregnant! Thanks Mom!

 

[lamago]

Txbiscuit, thanks for signing up for my journal before I start it!

 

[Twag]

Hey ladies my July 4th was spent working but as I work for a US company at least I got to wear dress down and had a quiet day

SO OMG for the UK it is boiling at the moment so hot in our garden yesterday we had to go buy a garden umbrella it was 30 degrees C wowee HOT and Snack yes normally it is coat weather here pretty much all the time but we are having a heat wave it won't last long but it is here!

 

[Snackimals]

SO. AF has arrived...
On to cycle #9. I am taking this all rather well, considering...

Twagster, you guys are hilarious! Melting in 80 degrees! Cutties! Thats, like, barely perfect for me I'd say 78-82 is my target. But, yeah. I much rather it's fall. 70 degrees max during the day, and 55-60 in the evening... Love, LOVE, coats! (your guys' TOPSHOP is SOOOO much cooler than ours, even online! the coats in the UK page are to die FOR!) ((i met a girl on a fashion blog two years ago, she was on her way to London... I Paypal'ed her some $$ so she got me a coat at Topshop... its still my FAVORITE coat. Ever.))

@Snackimals: was totally offline all weekend, except for checking in on Facebook on Hubster's phone. Didn't test all weekend, got back at 10 PM last night and tested = BFN. And again this morning. Optimism gone.

@Ameli: YAY for rounding the end of your first trimester!!!

@Lilly: I know what a fall back rise is in temps!

I left ya'll a note in my journal that I might be offline during my stay at my friend's house! Thankfully, she didn't get all into our TTC business (which is what I was really afraid of). Her mom, whom I love like a second mother, mildly pissed me off. Granted she's on a lot of pain meds, so maybe didn't mean it as harsh as it sounded, but told me I was making a big mistake by being certain to spare my kids public schools full of fundie assholes (fundamentalist Christians who ruin education in this part of the country). She kept missing the point that I want my kids to have a proper education, one based on facts and not one specific belief system that defies modern science. She thinks it's character building to expose little people to situations where they are told they are going to hell in elementary school - I politely disagree.

@lamago: YAY for sexxitime!!! And I will happily follow your gloomy journal. Snack and I are not exactly rays of sunshine and rainbows. I can tell you it really helps to have a safe place to just let it all out.

@Snackimals, part 2: sorry la bruja dropped in, but if your cycle was going to be screwed up from the meds - at least it was short, so hopefully you can get on with a proper TTC cycle now!

 

[lamago]

So apparently I set my fertility monitor at the wrong time and I could not test for Ovulation this morning. I don't even know what time I set it so I'll have to keep trying it until I find the time it works. It's opks for me this evening.

I was at 95 degrees this weekend twag so I'm pretty used to the heat too!

 

[txbiscuit]

Twag - 30 degrees Celsius with no AC sounds miserable to me. I hope it cools off for you soon!

 

[Snackimals]

Happy Monday!
(can't help it! his nickname is Manimal! come on!)

 

[LillyTame]

uh....wow

 

[MIZZYD]

I personally do not like the heat. Since the weather has been high these past few days I have been at home most of the time. I only go to the gym then home. I usually walk my dogs to the backyard to do their business, but it is so hot I can't even do that, lol.
