Weird question/concern..

On the chance we did fertilize this month- should I be worried about spending a lot of time outside in the cold at 13dpo? Like will it cause a mc or prevent implantation? I read online that it's best to keep the uterus warm. We are taking our daughter to the zoo this weekend and it's pretty cold out.

I conceived DS in February in interior Alaska. We're talking -40F temps. Your body regulates its own temperature, no need to huddle up inside to keep your bean warm.

Thanks! I don't want to ruin our chances but I also don't want to not take my daughter to the zoo on the off chance we conceived and "need" to keep warm lol

Just started TWW. I think I o'd yesterday but didn't do anything to track this cycle, just guesstimated off of last month. I've been downing decaf green tea and fish oil supplements to try and increase EWCM and I don't think it really worked, I may have seen it once but the tiniest bit. I'm stopping the green tea for the TWW but do you guys think I should continue taking the omega fish oil?

Also we BD every other day and are gonna continue for a bit incase I got the O date wrong. Tried everyday during fertile window last cycle and it was exhausting!

TB that's an awesome line for 10dpo. Fx'd it gets clearer and you have a sticky bean! Sooo happy for you!!

FX for you. I put you on "to be determined" let me know when you're testing.

I see a line too TB, congrats.

Welcome to TWW. With my first i was told to take fish oil during my medicated cycles. I continued taking it after and when I conceived our first I only stopped it at 20dpo when our doc told us not take it anymore. I'm taking it again when we started TTC and probably will stop it the same dpo if ever I conceive again. FX for you .

Count me in!

Done. Which CD are you in now? It's funny we have 2 bugs (poppiebug and bumpbug) on Christmas day must be a good sign.

tbfromlv, I see it. I really hope this is it!

AFM, AF was due yesterday/today, still no sign of it. I'm bloated, nauseous and a bit crampy. These symptoms can mean AF is coming but I'm hopeful anyway. Still not testing though.

Katy - I'm here hoping for your

Cupcake - looks like you really O'ed early and now 2dpo....

 

[mdscpa]

Moving my test date to 15dpo - Dec. 11th (3 days later than expected af) as I'm not feeling good about this cycle, looks like it's going to be anov again as I'm not seeing my usual thermal shift after O.

 

[vickyandchick]

Good luck Katy!

11dpo and going to test today, having some slight cramps that are AF like but fingers crossed!

 

[mdscpa]

Goodluck testing Vicky... FX you get a

Good luck Vicky!

Katy- when will you test?

Vicky- FX'd!

Hi ladies!

I haven't really posted much in here but have been following along.

Following my IVF egg retrieval yesterday, the doctors have decided that it's too risky for my health at the moment to do a fresh transfer, so my embryos have been frozen and we will do a FET at some point in 2018. We're gutted but to be honest I feel so awful at the moment that even I can see it's the right decision.

Wishing you all lots of luck for December testing! x

 

[mdscpa]

Aww... So sorry it didn't work out this cycle. Praying you'll be in better shape early on to make the FET.

Gosh no, don't worry! Imagine how many women live in super cold parts of the world, if the weather caused miscarriages there wouldn't be a population in those places. In TCM they believe in having a warm uterus, I have read about this. I don't know how much evidence there is, but if you're concerned then when you're at home try to sit with a hot water bottle there and on your lower back too, but not too hot. Wrap in a tea towel or something. I do this but rest assured, the cold weather won't harm a pregnancy.

Cupcake - looks like you really O'ed early and now 2dpo....

Yes, it does doesn't it?!? I'm surprised as the earliest I have ovulated has been CD10 since tracking which has been just more than a year now. I hope this isn't too early. Starting Cyclogest tomorrow as I don't think I would have a temp shift like this if I hadn't ovulated.
Hoping Fertility Friend confirms ovulation tomorrow. If it dips then I will wait to use Cyclogest another day but ideally I want to start it asap.
Your chart has confirmed ovulation for you, just wondered why you think you may not have ovulated? Temps sometimes take time to increase by much, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Does anyone know whether the flu jab can affect temperatures? Due to have it Friday

 

[mdscpa]

Cupcake - FX it stays up to confirm O. Maybe this a sign you'll get a The reason why i think I haven't Oed yet because i have not seen my usual thermal shift like an obvious jump. It's low which looks like my anov cycle that i tracked. Will continue checking scope and CM and once I see fertile signs then gonna BD again.. Maybe EPO really delayed my O. I just know I haven't oed yet.
