Newbie to TTC, looking for other newbie buddies! :) 33 ladies, 6 BFPs!!

I got a temp dip today:happydance: it went all way down to 96.8(and I actually got a nice sleep for once) so if it rises tomorrow I should get my peak. Doesn't ovulation happen on the dip though?:shrug: if you guys wanna look at my chart its in my siggy, it was a rough start so the first 2 temps are kinda off.

Yes, O is on the day it dips. Then, you can verify O if your temps shift after :)

And you were asking how I was doing a couple days ago :P Today is CD46, I didn't have what I would call a temp dip but its on the rise now. Also I noticed my CM is drying up today. So, I am hoping it's really O this time! We BD'd right before the temp shift so hopefully that'll be enough lol. I'm trying to see if I can convince him to BD today also just as a good measure if it is in fact O.

I'm just a little suspicious of my temp because I went out with buddies last night and drank quite a bit. So, my temp could be from that too lol
 
Temping seems so hard! If I don't get a bfp in the next two cycles I'm going to start temping
 
Hey guys, are there any TTC blogs, youtube vlogs, or websites that you really like?
Baby, parenting, or just any websites in particular that are cute and parenting related?
Some mommy blogs I like are :
https://www.theglow.com
https://bleubirdblog.com
https://spilledmilkblog.wordpress.com
https://lovetaza.com
https://joannagoddard.blogspot.com
https://www.heynataliejean.com

and on youtube:
theschuermanshow
thebubblelush (has lots of good videos about cloth diapering if you're into that!)
frowniebrown86
sacconejolys (however i find them really annoying - i keep watching lol)
 
So my temp rose to 97.3 but I still got a high fertility smiley(this will mark day 10..):wacko: idk what the heck is going on. Im running out of the sticks because I've been testing twice a day, I only have 5 left so..Im starting to get nervous that I wont have enough of them to cover the rest of this cycle. Ugh Im never buying these clear blues again, too much added stress:grr:

Edit- well..I just got my answer. I looked up the FAQ on the clear blue tests and here's what it says:
"I have used all 10 tests but I have not found Peak yet? Should I continue testing with a new box?"

"It is very important that you continue to use the same Holder for the whole cycle of testing. If the Holder is unable to detect Peak Fertility then an increased number of High Fertility days may be seen. Some women will have a cycle where Peak Fertility is not detected. This does not necessarily mean that ovulation has not occurred. In rare cases this could be due to an LH Surge that is at a lower level or of a shorter duration than typically expected."

There it is. So Ill use the rest of the test sticks up and if I dont see peak, Im just going to leave it at that and never ever buy these again lol.
It is looking like I ovulated yesterday though if my temps stay up so here's to hoping

but the only other websites I use are babygaga, sometimes(most of the time) they are too bitchy for me. I hardly ever post topics on there because of it, I just give people advise lol.
And I use countdowntopregnancy.com often while in the tww

Yayy thats awesome:thumbup: were you guys able to get one more bd in? hows your temp today?
Make sure you add it onto your chart that you drank because yes it could of affected it slightly, depending on how much you drank of course.
Gl hoping those temps stay up:thumbup:

I've never used an opk or temping, but from what i've heard it sounds really difficult to figure out! I mean heck, I'm still just kind of guessing -- good luck !!

:dust:

:dust:

It's really not difficult for the most part! :P It's pretty straight forward as long as you have relatively normal cycles.
 
AF got me this time, I'm not disappointed as I knew it was a foregone conclusion given the fact we started TTC in the middle of a cycle, after OV! I am ready for the next cycle and so happy that OH has chosen THIS week to go away for work rather than next week!!

x
 
Awh Im sorry to hear that Bee, hope you find it soon:hugs:

my temp is still rising its at 97.5 today and as much as I just want to call it and say Im 2dpo I have this fear that my temp will dip tomorrow:nope: so I think Im going to wait.
But other then that, today is mine and my hubby's 2nd wedding anniversary which I am sooo excited about because that means we get a much needed date night:happydance: olive garden here we come:winkwink: lol. Hope you all have a good day

Looking at your chart, i think it's pretty safe to call CD14 your O day! In my opinion ;)

Yay! Happy Anniversary! Funnily, my hubby and i actually met at Olive Garden, we both worked there. :P

Hi, I am having trouble deciphering the abbreviations here, but I would love some buddies to go through this process with. I just joined yesterday. I am 35, trying to conceive my first child. I have never been pregnant before. My partner is 45. He has one child. I want so much to be a mom!!!! I have been using ovulation tests for the last couple months and just tested positive for the LH surge this morning. I changed the tests that I had been taking a couple of days ago. The tests that I had been using were not picking it up and I got really worried. I am glad that on a whim I decided to change the brand!!!!! Anyhow, I am hoping tonight may be the night and I am feeling hopeful for the first time in months. I would love some ladies to talk to. All my friends have kids, and have never had to go through the process of "trying". Good luck to everyone!!!!! T

Welcome!

Hello all!

I've recently joined this site and currently TTC baby #1. My husband already has a son from his first marriage so this would be our first child together. I'm really hoping it doesn't take too many cycles! I took my last bcp on Christmas Eve and I'm not sure if my body is gonna take time to get back on track. I'm guessing I'm 9 dpo but I could be totally wrong! I had breakthrough bleeding for two days after stopping the pill so not sure how that factors in. So confused but trying not to drive myself crazy! I ordered ic tests and they arrived today so I had to test. Bfn as I assumed it would be but I couldn't help myself lol.

welcome!
:dust:
