Need some buddies 1dpo, its a waiting game!

[MamaTo2Girls]

Laus-yes if you O tomorrow the next day your temp should rise. FF always says the day of your thermal shift, you O the day before that happens. Goodm luck to you! I really hope this month is for us all!

Bray-I always freak too and think about the what IF'S? But you can turn back time and everything happens for a reason...I'm sure you still got some up there, don't worry about it too much. Just keep it up with the bd and preseed and whatever else for the next few days and hopefully you will see a temp rise (if you get your thermometer fixed). Can't wait to hear your news.

Bray if you have still have a smiley tomorrow, you don't go by it...cb says to go by your FIRST smiley (positive opk)... and since every woman is different and variation can be 12-possibly even 72 hours until O... the only sure way to tell when you ovulate is by temping... if you temp, once you get your thermal shift, you can count that as 1dpo. Like I got my smiley on Friday... for sure thought I'd O saturday, but did not get my thermal shift sunday morning...it was monday morning it shifted, so I counted monday as 1dpo. I know it's all confusing, but you can do it. Hope September is our month!

so now i have a question, Mama.... if you got your smiley on friday but didnt O til sunday, then why do you use the first one? becuase of the 12-72 hour delay? so even though i had a pos opk thursday and friday, FF put the O at thursday cause of the temp shift friday.... so i was the 12 hour side, and you were the 48 hour side of the range, yes?
I HOPE SEPTEMBER HAS GOOD MOJO ALSO!

Wow HW, you just confused the H out of me

 

[HWPG]

oh so sorry! eek....

 

[HWPG]

just listen to Mama... she's knows WAY better... pretend i know how to delete my comment that confused you...

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

Hw-correct.

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

Also....I only ever get 1 pos opk. Seems to always be around noon. I don't do it twice a day, but that wouldn't matter. I did it the day before, same time..maybe off by 30 mins but neg the first, pos the next and I actually tested again like 4 hours later, and it was neg...i think i have a short surge and i'm lucky to even catch it. But glad I do! And honestly, once I get that smiley...I don't opk test anymore.

 

[HWPG]

Sweet. Thanks mama.

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

Anytime my dear bnb friends!

 

[Brayr08]

So uh, we're getting ready for bed, preseed has been in for a few minutes & I decided to watch the instructional video you posted earlier today again, just to be sure I get it right. Thanks again mama.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, oh the joys of ttc.

This morning when it was important for me to take my temp to see whether i had a shift or not. The dog decides to come into the bedroom, nudges me then proceeds to throw up all over the floor.
I was like WTF, WTF, WTF!!! Me and dh jump out of bed and with military precision start to clean up the mess. This was at 5am in the morning! Afterwards both sat on the sofa with a cup of coffee, both leaning on each other half asleep muttering about the damn dog!!!
Then realised hey this is going to be the norm when we have a LO. Think the dog must have thought we needed some practice

So got a second peak today, but dont know what temp is now?

 

[Brayr08]

Oh man laus! I just love it when my dog does stuff like that. What type of dog do you have? I wasn't able to temp either, I'm going to just have to buy a new thermomiter today. I didn't get a smiley today, but I'm like you mama, I don't remember ever having more than one smiley face in a row. Oh, so last night, after we I put my softcup in and the whole time I'm TRYING to sleep, I keep thinking, what if the softcup actually BLOCKS the sperm from trying to get there (I don't remember if someone said that on this thread or another one) and I'm actually preventing myself from getting pregnant??? Well, I woke up this morning, took the softcup out (which was much easier this time) and there was a bunch of his left over stuff still in the cup which means it didn't block it. Yey!!!! It still got all over my hands (sorry TMI), but I don't care! I was feeling totally out last night, which is really bad to feel that way already, but I'm feeling in again!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

oh, Bray i'm so glad you feel better! I feel so much better with the softcups too. I get it on my hands also, but I don't care...I really feel like the softcups do it's job keeping the :sperm: close to the cervix. You know some of that may not even be his, could be preseed or just the juice, and no sperm..i don't know, but either way there are bunches of success stories about them, so they can't hurt anything. FX for you and hopefully you see a thermal shift tomorrow am! and join us in the 2ww!

Laus-that stinks! I would've just temped before i got out of bed to clean up the dogs mess. But maybe you forgot. Hopefuly tomorrow you get to temp also and you see your shift too. Did you get to bd lastnight?

 

[HWPG]

Bray and laus, yay, you are both in in in!
I remember having a dog.... Some days I'd like to get another, when it's scummy and we're on a walk, but when it's bad weather or something, I'm like 'no pets!'. It changes everyday.Bray, your softcup story is funny. I can imagine doing the same thing!
Afm, 6dpo. Feeling out already, for no reason. Temp still up but no other anythings. Oh, I cried last night, which is usually dead on for 1 week before my period. Not helpful. Only time will tell.... I would be happy to postpone my BFP for one of you this month... But of course I still hope! I'm hoping for all of us!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

oh and i thing i noticed is realllly out of the norm for me...i've been super gassy for 15 hours now. Hubby and I ate the same thing yesterday other than I had some trail mix, which i don't think that would do it. I don't know, thought I'd throw that out there. lol

 

[laustiredttc]

hey bray glad you are finding the softcups are working we have a border collie. He is lovely but sometimes drives me up the wall

hey mama, yeah got to bd last night also going to do it tonight and tomorrow just to cover bases. Did temp this afternoon and was 97.80 but dont think it counts. Hope the gas is a sign of that magical coming your way.

hw i know how you feel honey, it really is a rollercoaster ride of emotions and the thing is it changes everyday, heck it changes every hour with me. One moment i'm like this is def it then i'm like wth am i thinking i am totally out. I guess time will tell.

Hold on in there girls, i know we will do it

 

[HWPG]

um, not "scummy" (stupid autocorrect!) - SUNNY. i meant to write SUNNY. hahaha... btw, we had normal fun not making a baby sex last night - awesome! unheard-of!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

:thumbsup: hw

 

[Snizuitz]

Hi ladies! I'm going in for my ultrasound today. Fingers crossed! Of course, this cycle, I'm pretty low key because doc basically told us we need more help than what she's been able to do. Oh well. We're still having fun with it!

I think last night was the first time that I actually didn't want to BD but did it anyway. I hope hubby couldn't tell-- I tried to make it fun for him. We must have been tired, though, because it was lots of clumsiness and giggling. But I must say, in the end, it was great!
