mirolee-not really....haven't really been feeling anything. if i get sore bbs around 8dpo, i'll consider something positive. i'm 6 today, so few more days hopefully i will start noticing something and feel pregnant.

get a basal body thermometer...take your temp first thing every day at the same time and chart it, (fertilityfriend.com) is free...before O, your temps are on the lower side, after O your temps are higher. So, to know when you O you have to have 3 days in a row of higher temps than usual and usually a temp shift of at least .3 -.4 degrees. We will be here for more questions along the way, don't want to startle you with too much info or confuse you. I was confused at first also, but i've been temping to get to know my body and how long my luteal phase is so i know when to expect af and to make sure i'm ovulating. Sorry to hear that and best of luck to you next cycle.

Thank you so much, thats so much easier to understand then the web pages I was reading! I want to know exactly how my cycle works so I can quit guessing. lol I'll be stalking you guys- to all of you!

Well i had the smear and the nurse said it should be fine and not to worry so that's good! BUT, i did dtd with dh last night and she said it might mess with the results so i will have to wait and see

Yay, barb i'm really happy that the spotting has stopped and keeping everything crossed you get sky high numbers

Cheers heather, i always appreciate the help you give me girl

Hey Rach, gosh you and mirolee are being very good about getting healthy. I might have to get my bum in gear again and start doing something. Glad the grouch has passed for you. I had a major moment today in the car with dh, then proceeded to cry as i thought he was shouting at me Honestly, fecking hormones!!!

TLK, i'm sorry about the bfn huni but like you say you have your beautiful daughter and she will get to have more of mummies undivided attention. I hope you catch the eggy next cycle sweetie. oh and i have mild O pains from time to time as well but nothing like last nights.

I spoke to my acupuncturist and she said it might have just been a strong O, whatever that means

Perfect temping explanation mama! GL tlk; I love temping. Looooove.

 

[Brayr08]

I'm glad your appointment went well today Laura. Not real sure what a "strong" O is either...well...at least not when O means "ovulation" and not "org...."...well, I'm sure you get the picture.

I'm a temp addict also. I keep telling myself before I go to bed that I'm not going to temp in the morning, there's no point, but then when my alarm goes off in the morning, I think, I just HAVE to know!!!!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

laura-maybe strong O means the egg was bigger than usual and so when it was being released it was more painful?

 

[Snizuitz]

Heather and Laura-- My thoughts, too. Stong O = Big, healthy egg! I always had more O pains when I was on meds-- especially on the side they told me was dominant. I swear it wasn't my mind playing tricks on me!

Tlk-- for me, charting didn't really start helping until after a couple months. That's when I started to see patterns. Charting temperatures along with cervical position and cervical mucous can really help you see when your body is gearing up for O so you don't miss it. The cervical stuff didn't make much sense to me at first, but after a couple months of feeling around "in there" I started to notice the changes.

Thanks for all the well wishes! Still waiting here, twiddling my thumbs... I'm sure they'll call after 5pm. Seems their modus operandi.

 

[Brayr08]

That's awful they make you (and us) wait that long! I would probably just get impatient and call them.

 

[Snizuitz]

Finally! The doctor's office called me at about 6pm. I swear, they are trying to give me a heart attack. But the news was good-- numbers doubled as they should. The next waypoint is an ultrasound this week to make sure this HCG machine is in the right place!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend! I'm sure going to try to relax and enjoy the sunny days over here in Arizona.

 

[laustiredttc]

yey barb thats fantastic news!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you can relax and have a lovely weekend now huni. Enjoy the sun

 

[laustiredttc]

I dont know either. I'm sure these professionals just pull stuff out their arses half the time she is a nice person though and she is a great accupuncturist so she can sprout whatever she wants he he

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

so happy to hear the good news barb...enjoy your weekend.

 

[Brayr08]

Yey Barb!!! So happy for you girl.

 

[Brayr08]

Hey Heather, did you use the FertileCm again this month? I was gonna start taking it the first day of this next cycle and was wondering if you still noticed an improvment?

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

actually i'm not taking it again....i noticed very little improvement and since it didn't work that month, i said screw it. It was very hard trying to remember to take it the 3 times a day as recommended. All you can do is give it a try for amonth and see how much it helps you.

GIRLS!! SS update, i'm not spotting, it's just SUPER noticeable! I am cramping on my lower left side on and off and have been all morning. Don't know what is going on, but hope it's good! 7dpo today!

 

[Brayr08]

FX Heather!!! Hope it's that LO burrowing deap down!

I bought it late in my cycle this month, so I thought I'd try it out next cycle if I'm not pregnant (which I'm probably not), but if I am, hey, I'm okay w/being out the money. I'm also thinking about seeing if I can do a post coitel test this next cycle to see if I have a hostel environment in there. I don't know what they can really do for that, but at least I'd know.

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

the preseed lubricant creates a safe environment for sperm.....certain foods you eat can even make a hositle environment for sperm...i also read if you O during sex that it helps make a safe environment also? I really think that is what helped me conceive my boy last time. The more alkaline it is down there, the better for boy or girl sperm (can't remember which). So, i am going to keep using preseed every time and hope it gives me a boy again.

 

[Brayr08]

I think I should just buy some more preseed also. It doesn't HURT anything, so why not? And if Oing helps, hey, I'm willing to make that happen too.

I'm pretty sure I'm out. I'm not due for AF until Tuesday, but I keep getting AF cramps. So I'm just waiting for the spotting to start.

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

maybe your implanting too rach!! fx for you!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

ok, for now the cramps have been gone for awhile...noticing sore nips/boobs and maybe peeing a little more than usual (no i am not drinking a lot). I think things are looking good! Feeling absolutely positive this cycle (for now) lol. 3 more days til I
