Come on July Babies!

[Ju_bubbs]

Haha.. I said that to OH yesterday

Just got back from the docs, she was really nice this time! She said that she thinks its most likely just an extreme case of bad luck. she went through all the things they'd normally test for after 3 m/cs and said that It's highly unlikely that it is any of them in my case because if it was I either wouldn't have had 3 children already with no problems, or wouldn't be able to get pregnant at all, let alone 3 months in a row.. but she has still reffered me to a gyn to put my mind at rest and said to keep trying while we're waiting for the appointment!!

Ju bubbs - so glad to hear this hon. Yes- I agree with the doc that it is likely bad luck - esp b/c you have 3 beautiful kids already : )
Good to hear you will be seeing a specialist, and great to hear that you will still be TTC - you are already CD4! Are you going to take you BBT this time? I know it drove you crazy last time. x

 

[Ju_bubbs]

Ha ha yeah, FF really did drive me mad last month, but yeah I'll be doing it again! my temp still hasn't gone below the cover line at all from 3 cycles ago Hopefully I'l get clearer opk's this cycle too, rather than most of them being +ve! Are you temping and stuff too?

 

[applegirl]

oh yeah! My temp has already dropped below the coverline, so I think that is a good sign that I may ovulate in the next week-10days. Started with the OPKs this am (-ve) You can stalk me using the link to my chart in my signature

 

[Ju_bubbs]

Oooh yeah, you're temp has gone down nicely! That reminds me.. I really need to order some more opks! I'm obviously still Oing even tho my temp hasn't gone down.. but it just make it much more difficult to tell when! lol

 

[applegirl]

my BBT is headed south - exactly like last month. If its like last month, I'm expecting a +ve OPK on the 28th- next Tuesday. Of course, I know it could be different after the mc, but I seem to be on track. Having fun with the BDing.
Ha! Even if I get a this month, I know not to expect a sticky, but I still hope for it. My plan now is to get as many s as possible, in the hopes that one of them will stick. Look at Tink. This is her 9th this year I think (!) and it is looking good for her. Go Tink! So happy for her.

Have realised that next month, when I am getting tested for NKCs, (and need to use condoms) I am likely to be away from OH during Ov anyway! Lucky break. Have heard the test can be painful... oh well, won't be worse than the 2WW!

Glad to hear things went well at the doctors for you. ITA that you have three healthy children, it must just be a crappy stroke of luck.

I am so confused by BBT, what are signs of O. Does it spike or go up? I am so confused because my temps are all over the place.

I do think I might be getting a normal cycle back and/or Oing early, because right now I am having pains on my left side and feel (tmi) like there is tons of CM leaking. When I last checked it was very close to EWCM....

 

[applegirl]

yay!! weekend. here's to sleeping in, cuddling on the sofa and lots of BDing!

 

[KandKsMama]

Oh yea I had planned on it!!! Every where I looked depending on how my silly cycle runs this month fertile days can begin today (if it decides to be 28 days with CD 14 being O) or as late as like 11/04. Hopefully it is now because weirdly enough I have been in the mood to dtd more than I usually have.

 

[applegirl]

sorry K&K - forgot answer your question before

you know you have ovulated when your temps go up, and stay up for at least three days in a row. They will usually stay up until AF arrives. If they stay up for 18 days you know you are pregnant! (I guess that depends on the length of your luteal phase... but I think this more or less holds true.)

Have you ever tried fertility friend? You can join and enter your BBTs for free... Lots of women have links to their charts in their signatures - so you could take a look and see if it might interest you.

 

[KandKsMama]

yea I am using FF, MMC and Babymed I believe. That is why I asked. Normally my temps are around 97.1-97.5. From yesterday to today it went from 97.1 to 98.3 (12:40am) and is now at 99. My biggest problem is because of the girls I normally dont get up the same time every day so it is hard to get temps around the same time.

 

[applegirl]

hon - when I look at the chart you have pasted in - it gives me my own chart! For a second I was thinking - wow! we are exactly the same

try going into FF, clicking on sharing, then homepage setup. You will see the link to your chart near the top of the page titled: Your Charting Home Page Web Address. Share that with us - ok?!

Looking forward to checking it out! x

 

[KandKsMama]

I'm a dope hahaha. Lack of sleep.... ok here is the link

[applegirl]

wow- you are really on a roller coaster there! You might want to send it to the FF people and ask for their help, or post it on the main boards for more opinions. we certainly can not confirm ov yet, as you don't have 3 days elevated temps. Tomorrow will be interesting.

I totally understand what you mean about not always getting the right amount of sleep or doing it at the same time. It is a hassle - and sometimes impossible!

Have you considered using some type of OPK?

 

[KandKsMama]

Might buy some if it doesn't happen by the end of the year, but with the holidays we want all our extra money to go to gifts. I do know though minus the up and down yesterday and today all day it has been up more than usual. So if it seems to be up again tomorrow then I am thinking the signs are correct.

 

[applegirl]

hey K&K - what's happening with the BBT today?

 

[KandKsMama]

dropped down to 98.3. I normally try to take it around 1-1:30am and that is what it was at this morning. Based on it being all over it told me O was detected on CD10 and my coverline is 97.5. That does make a little sense to me unless my body is lying and every symptom I have had is not O. Give it a few more days to see what happens.

 

[applegirl]

trust your body - and keep BDing!!!

 

[applegirl]

hmmm - my opk came up negative this am... was expecting a positive - but then, I must be gentle with my poor body - we've been through a lot! Might mean that we need to wait even longer for testing... that's ok.

 

[KandKsMama]

GL. My temp was back up at the normal time between 12-1am at 99.... this made FF change my O day from CD10 to CD11. Either way we have been BD every other day roughly.
