[CLOSED]***Lucky LTTTC Testers***

[ClandestineTX]

I was suggesting that you don't 'need' a reason - I know I don't!

 

[LillyTame]

I know! And you are not helping my cause! I'm trying to wait till AF is actually late.

 

[ClandestineTX]

If you are really committed, give all your tests to your OH and tell him no matter what you say, do not give them back to you. I would go completely crazy trying something like that. Though I've been thinking and if I got into cycle 10, I think I'm going to ditch BBT tracking and just try CM observations and OPKs.

 

[LillyTame]

Ha! I've tried that, a few cycles in. He can be a dink sometimes...instead of actually hiding the sticks from me, he just put them out of my reach (he is a foot taller than me)...but I could totally get them down with the broom So I could see them and they were just up there taunting me which made things worse because I saw them every time I walked in or out of our bedroom

Honestly, I use OV pain and OPKs for pinpointing OV...IF my temps happen to dip and coordinate with those that's great...but what I really like is to watch my temps AFTER OV...I like watching them go up and then that tell tale drop the day before AF warns me not to get my hopes up that AF will be late. I need the pre-OV temps just to get my crosshairs nice and neat.

I've actually been taking my temp at whatever time I've woken up from sleeping the longest and then enter them all at the same time and I love how "smooth" my chart has been versus trying to temp at the same time. This is the 2nd time I've "experimented" with my temps...the first was sporadic times during vacation...result was the same...I was able to tell pre-ov temps from post-ov temps and that's all I want.

Hi everyone!! I haven't been around lately...I was sick last week and this week work is crazy with all this heat. Anyway Today is the 'day' :/ I'm not the type of person to test earlier, because I dread disappointment.

Last night I had a horrific lower abdomen pain, I was down for about a half hour...Not sure what it was. AF is suppose to show her face today, but no signs...Just loads of CM (TMI) So if I don't see her by tonight, I'll probably test first thing in the AM and let you all know

 

[countrygurl3]

CONGRATS TO ALL BFPS!!! Soooo excited for you all, it looks like it has been a long time coming and you all deserve it!!

 

[LillyTame]

Hi countrygurl3! Sorry to hear that you have been sick...but that could be a good sign! I once read our immune systems are lowered during implantation which can lead to first symptoms being cold like symptoms!

Fx'd for a BFP for you tomorrow! And !

Thank you!! I'm a little nervous, I guess that can be expected.

I read that once too, and I a horrible cold. Maybe this time is was a good thing to be sick haha

 

[ClandestineTX]

Good luck with your test tomorrow, countrygurl3!

@Lilly: I love the idea of just temping whenever. I think if I go on to cycle 10, that's what I will do. I'm very much over waking up to an alarm every day and I don't think getting up at 5 AM to temp every day is helping me out - especially that I manage to do it even if we've been up past midnight. I do roll over and go back to sleep, but at the same time my sleep has been interrupted and I feel it throughout the day. And you know what - I'm turning off the alarm on my phone now. Like right now. I'm not getting up at 5 AM unless that's when Hubster wants to start our drive out of town.

 

[Kuawen]

I'm with you ladies. I'm getting my sleep this long weekend. Though my cat is also an excellent alarm clock!

 

[LillyTame]

I even sleep better not worrying about trying to sleep the whole night. As long as I get at least 3 hrs...I temp. Before I would wake up to pee and then stay awake worrying about not getting back to sleep and being able to sleep for a solid 3 hrs Then I realized but I'm sleeping over 3 hrs before I wake up to pee...but I don't always wake up to pee So that's when I decided to stop worrying about WHEN I woke up and just focused on the 1st time I woke up and had longer than 3 hrs of sleep.

[R22]

HEY!! I just looked at my calendar on FF and I will test again on July 28. I'm still a July tester!

 

[lovelymiss]

RDD- sorry the nasty witch got ya! Glad you can still test later this month, though. Yay shorter cycles.

 

[LillyTame]

HEY!! I just looked at my calendar on FF and I will test again on July 28. I'm still a July tester!

Woohoo! I think that was Mrs. JJ's alternate date too! Maybe we are just destined to have a BFP on that date!! I will add you.
