Hi ladies.. can I join in? I'm trying to be a bit more active here at the forum. I love it here, but for a while I needed a bit of distance to work through some emotions. Now I'd like to just hang out and find & give support.
I've been following this thread for a while by the way but have been a bit too shy or didn't feel ready to say anything until now.
I'm Katie, 31 years old... for a few more days. DH (37) and I have been TTC since April '14. One pregnancy, miscarried in June. Had a rough time for a while after that but have been feeling pretty good again for the last few months (like I'm myself again).
First cycle of 2015 approached with optimism and a relaxed attitude, in the TWW now, AF due around my birthday haha. Timing is everything

Still above the coverline though! Maybe they'll start turning around tomorrow.

The no number scale thing is so weird...how do you know how big or little the difference between those droopy temps is?

 

[Chrissi1981]

I don't temp. No idea what I'm looking at lol I use ov kits that's it. Also been having a lot of twinges lower right side. Been feeling very tired the past four days too. 10dpo today quickly went for my fm pee lol. Promised my husband we'd test together. So if I pee quickly lol no fmu hahahaha....said we'd do it weds but maybe hold off till Friday but problem is I'm a poas addict !!!! Also can't sneakily do it as I'm not such a good actress!!!

Isn't anyone else testing this week ?? Xxx

Love to you xx

Laura, I had an epiphany, and since you posted your charts here I figure I could mention it here. Your chart had been bugging me and I knew there had to be a reason why it was so different. We known that the tea you are drinking has allowed your system to drastically increase your estrogen early in your cycle right? It allowed you to ovulate so much earlier for the first time.

Now what if the same thing is happening in the second half of your cycle? Around 5dpo most women get a small estrogen surge. Normally you get a small temp increase after when the progesterone comes up to balance it out.

Remember that post ovulation all your temperature shows you is your ratio of estrogen to progesterone. Estrogen lowers your temp and progesterone increases it. Both are necessary for a successful pregnancy, and both are created in the TWW. A declining temp means either your progesterone is going down now, or your estrogen is still rising and the progesterone isnt rising as fast. This is the reason they tell pregnant women to stop temping. Higher estrogen, like you are creating with your tea regime will depress your chart.

Maybe there is a glimmer of hope to be taken from that. You can't know without a blood test, but it is possible this is your hormones adjusting to the new uber quantity of estrogen, or oestrogen as others spell it.

I really appreciate that ren. Thankyou x

Good morning ladies. So I promised promised if wait to do it with my hubby but for all you pee on a stick addicts you will understand how difficult that is ?!

This morning I used an internet cheapie you know the strips. And ..... It's happened again I'm pregnant. I wanna say a BFP but more like a little BFP.

Promises to myself is not to obsesses over this pregnancy, to take it easy, nourish myself, and have fun with my friends and family.

It's only early on still technically in the 2ww but for some reason I feel different this time.

God is good and God is love and I wanna thank Him for giving me this opportunity to be a mama. Thank you thank you thank you xxxxxxxxxxx

Congrats, Chrissy!


I may have joined you, but I'm not sure!

 

[Chrissi1981]

How far past ov are you ? I'll properly test tomorrow with my hubby (he doesn't know lol). Do you feel like you are pregnant ? I am getting a lot of lower right twinges and am ridiculously tired but that maybe because I'm using progesterone cream!

 

[GingerPanda]

I'm 10dpo with a 12 day LP. I don't feel pregnant. My boobs are actually less sore today than they have been. But still sore.

So maybe you are then ! I haven't ever used this brand before. I always test at 10 days and get a similar result and was pregnant. Yay. I am 11dpo today. Was surprised to see a line on the cheapie I have. But I definitely feel it and have felt off for a few days.

Will you test again tomorrow hun ? Are you a poas addict like me ?! Xx

 

[GingerPanda]

I am indeed an addict! I feel so not-pregnant that I don't believe this faint line! I'm going to need more concrete proof, haha.
