and by the way its so much easier to type when I am not on my iPad! I am on my laptop now and this is way easier. Since I got my iPad I typically only use my computer for work and iPad for everything else so that is why my posts have been much shorter for the past month or so

Here is a bump pic. I am just about 16 weeks here

Haha Rachel that's so funny! I usually use my iPhone but prefer using my laptop as well. Much easier to type.

I think I just need to chill. I think the reason I was up a couple times last night was because I was stressed about getting enough sleep the temp lol....go figure it made it worse

 

[Diddums]

Aww that's a cute little bump!

 

[Rachel789]

I know I had so many nights like that and I would get so mad at myself because I always knew that was why I wasn't sleeping, it drove me nuts!

 

[Diddums]

Yeh gonna chill. Even if I don't temp I will know whether I've ovulated or not if I get AF or bfp in the next 2 weeks

my advice it to temp just once and sometimes my thermo beeps really fast sometimes and sometimes it takes longer. My thermo gets the same temps too, and it doesn't have a light either (didn't know some had this) it would be soo nice to be able to see it without having to get out of bed..and check it with the bathroom light so i don't wake hubby, and yes just relax we all get nervous and wake a million times thinking "it must be time to temp" and like dee said sometimes you won't see the shift for a few days not everyone gets a huge jump

rachel - cute bump picture

Thanks everyone decides to just chill and get an early night yesterday. Was in bed by 8.30 and asleep my 9.30 lol. Woke up at 2.15 really hot - I've been having hot flushes since I ovulated. Fell asleep again within 30mims and woke up at 6 to temp as normal temps gone up today and got my cross hairs!!!!! will ring the dr today and ask for a blood test on 7dpo. I'm worried my LP is less than 10 days so I guess getting prog level checked will help? Don't know whether my dr will believe me or even take me seriously about my LP.

 

[mrsc81]

Yay for cross hairs
Hope you caught the egg

 

[Rachel789]

Yay crosshairs!!! you have great bd timing too...I hope you get your bfp soon!

 

[bnporter81]

Katya, you must be on !! YAY for crosshairs! Sending lots of sticky to you, hon!

Rachel, adorable bump pic. Do you have any feelings on what the sex is?

 

[Rachel789]

We find out dec 6th so two weeks from Thursday...I am counting down the days! I really think its a boy and so did dh until recently now he is thinking girl. I will be happy with either so we will see!

Rachel - Love the bump! Cute shirt too

Congrats on the cross-hairs Katya! You got a great rise there too!

Raven - I can't believe you are already 10 DPO! Are you testing any time soon??

I walked in from a meeting back into my little office and found my office mate puking her brains out yesterday. She just told me last Friday she was 8 weeks pregnant and having a miserable time. So I guess I don't REALLY want symptoms, but at the same time they would be a little reassuring.

My first appointment is the 29th, next Thursday! We are so excited and nervous at the same time. I just want to make it that far without AF making a late appearance.

 

[Diddums]

Thanks everyone! Can't believe it's only my second time in the TWW in a whole year! Don't feel particularly optimistic about a bfp......I know it's super early but dunno I'm just glad I actually ovulated this cycle!! Just hoping my LP sorts it self out. I have a dr appointment tomorrow to request 7dpo bloods test and to talk about increasing my dose of metformin as I'm on a lowish dose of 1500mg.

Beth how you doing? Any signs of ovulation?

Dee you'll have symptoms in no time! I think most people start around 6-8 weeks?

 

[bnporter81]

Katya, I've had EWCM off and on for the past few days. Also, my OPKs have been getting progressively darker and today was just a hair off positive so I'm hoping and praying that it will be positive soon and my body won't play another trick on meI haven't ovulated this early (CD 16) in a very long time. Probably about a year. So it would be great to have my cycle try to get back on track I know you mentioned the metformin...my doctor said she might put me on it here in a few months. How long have you been on it? Do you think it's helped at all with your cycles/ovulation?

 

[seabean]

Bethany, that's great news!

 

[Diddums]

Hey Beth I've been on 1500mg metformin for 10yrs since I was 15 yrs old! I uses to have yearly checks but nothing since. When I was 15 my periods stopped for 5 months. After a couple months on metformin I was regular again with 31day cycles. Then I went on bcp at 17 and came off a year ago. I think I should really have a higher dose but my regular gp won't change me dose so will prob need to be referred to an endocrinologist!

 

[Diddums]

Yay temp still up today! Have definately ovulated

 

[raventtc]

yaaa...crosshairs

I don't plan on testing early, just gonna wait it out. but I am so glad to be busy during this 2ww...i myself didn't even realize i was 10dpo yesterday til i read your post

bethany - hope your cycles are changing for you
