June Baby Angels

We didn't get to go to the pub. We had Carter, and I thought if we went for an early dinner, it would be okay. But it was way to bar-ish, so we went somewhere else. I have a certificate for that pub, so we will def be going back without Carter soon.

Stef, that is awesome. FX!!

Jasmine, your chart link isn't working, but would love to see it

 

[Middysquidge]

Doh! Does this one work:

My Ovulation Chart

I'm not too confident that I ovulated on cd9 the shift just isn't dramatic enough? What do you think? If I take out the cm on cd 8 and cd9 it takes the cross hairs out and i got more ewcm today?

Help! x x

 

[angel2010]

If it were my chart I would not think I ovulated. My temp shift is a bit more definitive, but I am still not sure.

Here is mine (if I did it right).My Ovulation Chart

 

[angel2010]

Also, your temps are still around what they were before o on your last chart. But I guess if I am going to go by that logic, then it is likely I ovulated already because my temps are what they were after o last chart.

Stef,
I know what you mean about dh liking blackjack, but not being good at it. That’s me lol!
But I only play with my mom, who is the blackjack expert and has crazy good luck. She throws me a couple $100 chips here and there to keep me in the game. I’m telling ya, she is the blackjack boss LOL
I’m glad you had a great time out with your friends. I totally want to see Wicked also..If we get to go to New York this year, I definitely want to catch it on Broadway.
That’s an exciting hunch from your mom!!! FX!

Jasmine,
When is dh coming back? Yes, Vegas is such a fun place..so many thing to see and do, even if you don’t gamble! Too bad you and dd couldn’t join dh there and make it a little vacay.
FX you caught the eggy!! Wow, that’s great luck. If you can only dtd one day, you did it on the best day!! I don’t know anything about charting, but will start learning soon because I’ll start temping tomorrow, but I still think you've got a great chance, it only takes once, right, and can’t sperm live for at least a couple of days?

Angel,
Too bad your pub idea didn’t work out this time, but that’s another reason to get out and enjoy it in the future!! Can’t let that certificate go to waste lol

Angel - your ff has put crosshairs in though, so apparently you have ovulated? If you were me, would you just take out the cm information and see what ff does this month based on purely temps alone? It's more for research this month anyway cos we can't try but I want to get a clear idea of when it happens! Guess it will become clear in the next few days, I have the ewcm a lot today, dam I thought we got lucky this month but nevermind, have a hen weekend in London early Feb at least if I'm not pg I can get nice and merry!

Meli - good luck charting! I'm excited that things are getting back to normal for us all so we have chances of our bfps in the next coming months! x x

 

[angel2010]

Yeah, I know I have crosshairs. My body is just acting weird, it has not given any of the normal o signs I usually have. I even had them last cycle. That is why I was thinking maybe I hadn't yet.

On yours, I would not do anything. Keep recording, if you get a better temp shift ff should update itself.

 

[Middysquidge]

I suppose though, the crosshairs on yours are dotted so even ff isn't sure? Who knows, I don't have a clue whats going on with mine atm! I used to have a 29 day cycle with ovulation on day 15, wonder if it will ever get to that again! I didn't realise it would adjust itself, I wonder why my crosshairs aren't dotted though, it's not a clear shift? Weird x

Yours are solid because you have 2 signs that show o, your temps and cm. Mine are dotted because I don't have any cm to go with my temps. I normally have a 35 day or longer cycle.

But lets hope ff is right on yours for now, so you still have a chance!

 

[Middysquidge]

Ahhh, thanks for clearing that up! x x

 

[Meli_H]

Vegas,
You mentioned earlier that you used mucinex when ttc. What cycle days do you take it?

 

[angel2010]

So I have finally told myself "we are trying next cycle for sure!". It's like I knew that was the plan, but it seemed so abstract i guess. Like it wasn't real. Not really sure how to explain it. Anyhow, finally went into the ttc sections and even posted a couple of times. Although my thyroid is normal, I will have to keep checking my levels and changing my meds to make sure I am getting the right about. I also have MTHFR, which is a gene mutation that increases my risk for clots and miscarriage. Last time I took baby asprin. I am unsure if my ob will settle with this or want me to take daily heparin injections. And tbh, I am not sure what I want to do. I hate to say this on here, because so many women struggle and I don't want to seem like I am bragging, but both times we got pregnant on the first try. Because of this I feel I need to be 100% ready for it to happen right away.

 

[Middysquidge]

Angel, my chart all changed today, got another low temp and a strong proper positive opk for the first time this cycle so I haven't ovulated yet you were right!

Soo, we are out this cycle and next cycle will be our first proper one too! What cd are you on of this cycle? We got pg first try ith both of ours too but obviously one didn't stick and there was another time where we tried like mad for 9 months and nothing happened then we decided it was the wrong time, so I've no clue how long it will take this time but hopefully not that long for all of us ladies on here!

Hi everyone. Looks like I've missed a bunch over the weekend.

Stef: I hope your mom is right. That would be so awesome.

Jasmine: Sorry you don't think you ovulated last week when dh was home. Maybe you had a surge, but it just didn't go. I've heard of that happening. Maybe you ovulated more than once.

Meli: I just took the Mucinex on the days I got a positive OPK up until ovulation was confirmed. It thins the cm within a few hours. Just make sure you buy the one that only has the guaifenesin and not all the other ingredients you don't need (like a decongestant). I didn't take it the month I got pregnant as I was taking the month off from ttc (sorta). Perhaps I should have really taken that month off.

Angel: I'm so happy to hear that you are ready to try again. I hope you do get your bfp right away. I got pregnant right away with Charlotte and wasn't really trying (other than going off the pill). With this last one it took nine cycles (11 months). I'm hoping when we try again it won't take as long, but I'm just going to go with the flow and not obsess (well, maybe a little).

AFM: Cycle day 41 and still nothing! I've been temping on and off as I know what my typical pre and post ovulation temps look like and so far there is no sign of ovulation either. I know this is normal, but I'm just hoping it comes and goes before I start my new job (so that gives me two more weeks).

 

[jennc]

I am going to tell immediate family because I want them all to come to church and pray with me that everything goes well this next time. Other than that, I'm going to keep it to myself until I can't really explain away the extra weight.

That stinks that you are out. It will make charting and watching your body that much easier next cycle though. When does your husband return?
I am on cd 26. It looks like I will have a 32 day cycle instead of the normal 35 day. But that means three less days I have to wait to ttc.

Vegas, hope af gets here quickly. I said I wasn't going to obsess this time too. I haven't even officially started and I am obsessing!

 

[Middysquidge]

So when do you predict to ovulate in February then Angel? Mine will be like February 5th, sooo exciting I'm gonna be well and truly ready for it too! Hubby is back on Sunday around midday, can't wait for that either, feel like I am in very much a waiting phase right now, waiting for houses to come up, waiting for hubby, waiting for baby, guess it's exciting as it's all yet to come and not over and done with!

Yeah, hope AF comes in time for new job Vegas at least you can plan a bit then, it's soo hard not to obsses, I actually enjoy obssesing a bit! Can't spell it though!

Meli - you sound like you're really arming yourself this month hehe! Can't wait to see some BFPs on here! x x

 

[angel2010]

I am going to guess that I will ovulate between the 30th and the 4th, depending on how long my cycle ends up being. So that would be between cd 17 and cd 22. I will probably start taking opks on cd 14. I will also start testing on 7dpo so that I can get and meds adjusted asap.

 

[Meli_H]

Angel,
Sounds like you’re in a good place mentally and emotionally to ttc! GL! Hope your dr gets your meds adjusted properly asap!

Vegas,
Enjoy your next couple of weeks off before your new job starts. How exciting! FX that your cycle normalizes very soon!!

Jasmine,
Glad to hear that dh is coming back soon. I’m sure you miss him!! 2-3 days of dh gone is enough for me..more than that and I don’t know what to do with myself lol

Yes, I am arming myself this cycle. I am going to use softcups for the first time. The package was given to me about 2 years ago by one of my co-workers. I guess a few packages were distributed as promotional items in our office. I forgot all about them until I found them in my desk a couple of weeks ago, and thought, why not! I should o Jan 14, so you know this weekend will be full of bd
