[noodles13]

Hey ladies how are you all. Im 3 dpo today and I feel like crap lol very sore bbs aching legs felt sick all morning cm totally different tmi. I know im not pregnant yet obv as im only 3 dpo. But Urgh feel like poop lol

 

[RedButterfly]

Just did an OPK, was nearly the same colour as the control line. So either tomorrow or Friday I will ovulate.

 

[MrsCorny]

Oh good! We got a couple in the TWW! It's kinda exciting to have different cycles than one another cuz there is almost always someone in the TWW! keeps it interesting

So I ordered a bbt... https://www.amazon.com/Nexcare-5245...&qid=1378905113&sr=8-1&keywords=Nexcare+basal

What do you think of that one? It was decent price and not bottom-of-the-line, either. Free shipping too.
It's kinda weird to have ordered one, makes me feel like I'm really on the road to becoming a mommy, cuz I'm doing something about it, plus the whole NTNP thing being a reality is great too.

 

[RedButterfly]

Looks good. I read the description and it does the same as mine. Do you know how to temp?

 

[MrsCorny]

No, I don't know how to temp. Any advice is welcome. It should arrive in about 2 days.
I had set up a fertility friend acct before but hadn't recorded anything, just went on and recorded my periods from the last few months. How do I share my chart for when I start temping??

 

[RedButterfly]

For temping, you need at least 3 hours sleep before you take your temp. And it needs to be taken at the same time each morning before you move out of bed.

Do you want a link to your chart (like I've done for my ovufriend) or as ticker?

 

[MrsCorny]

I think like your ovufriend one would be nice cuz I already have my ticker.

 

[noodles13]

Yeah its fun waiting for others taking tests etc too isnt it

 

[RedButterfly]

Login to FF - Click on 'My Chart' on the left - Click on 'Sharing' at the top - Click on 'Get Code' - Follow the instructions.

Log back on to BnB - User CP - Edit Signature - Click on the icon that looks like a globe with a chain around it - Paste the link from FF - There'll be a highlighted part after you pressed OK, write what you want to call your chart - And you're done.

I think that's right. Doing this from my phone so FXed I remembered everything right!

 

[MrsCorny]

Noodles- Yeah it is! Lol

Red- 3 hours of sleep will be no prob for me. We are early birds. In bed no later than 10:30pm first alarm goes off at 5:45am, up by 6am. So I'll just temp at first alarm. Is it so specific that I shouldn't sit up or anything?

 

[RedButterfly]

Have your BBT somewhere you can reach it without moving much.

 

[MrsCorny]

K, I can put it on my nightstand. I don't even have to sit up to get it. Shouldn't be too hard to just take my temp when I wake up. Always got babies on the brain so I doubt I'll forget too often.
And if the thermometer records the temp I can just have it recall it and ill write it down when I actually get up.

 

[RedButterfly]

Yup, that's what I do.

 

[Laura2806]

Yh I keep mine under my pillow so I can just reach under and grab it my BBT doesn't keep the temp so I make sure I've got ff open in my growers on phone so I can quickly input it lol also there's a website I use to correct my temp if for some reason I wake up earlier, you just put in the time you actually took it, time you normally take it and the reading, press calculate and it gives you roughly what it would be had you taken it at the normal time xx

 

[fairyy]

What website is that Laura ???

Oh! That's a good idea! Under the pillow it is. I was worried my cats would knock it around if I leave it on nightstand. They jump up on my nightstand or the bed the second the alarm goes off. They are so funny. Scared the crap outta me this morning! Bubbles jumped right in front of my face as I opened my eyes. Normally she sits on nightstand to stare at me til I pet her then she comes to cuddle haha. Bimmer just lays on my hips or tummy and purrs til I move lol. I love my kitties!! Xoxo hehe
What website is that u mentioned?

 

[fairyy]

Aww u have cats. I adore cats. I had one.

 

[AuntieKate]

Sorry to bust in again ladies... Quick question though - what is the difference between a regular thermometer and a BBT? I've just been using my regular digital thermometer.

Also, what happens if I take it later on one day? My sleep schedule is all over the place these days.

Thanks!

Regular thermometer measures temperatures in degrees. BUT bbt measures temperatures by 10th’s of a degree. I have used normal thermometer for taking temperature it worked fine. But sometimes it gave flat temperature. So bbt is best when it takes to temping.

U need to take temperature as soon as u wake up after 3/4hours of sound sleep. You can take temperature and record it on Fertility Friend account. By one or two cycle You will get familiar with your pre and post ovulation temperature.

This site explains in pretty good detail without being so in depth it confuses me! I feel better about temping now.
