Hi guys, was hoping to join the thread?

I'm cd 13 so hoping to ov over the next couple of days. Planning on testing on 14th which is my birthday so hopefully will be a lovely present for me.

We are ttc #3. We have 2 girls and had our second partial molar pregnancy in Feb. This is out first month ttc as DH is only just feeling ready for it.

Baby dust to all!

so great to see you here. Other than chloe, didn't think anyone from our September mums group still came in here much. Great you're finally able to start ttc again, sending you lots of luck. Hope it happens quickly x

Hope everyone else is good. I'm only CD7 so still at least 19 days away from O unless a miracle happens lol.

Can't believe all these OHs have such a hard time with the BD schedule. I get so mad with my oh sometimes, it's the one thing they have to do and they moan. Should be lucky they're getting a regular fix lol.

I'm also a Grey's Anatomy fan, as many of you have mentioned. However I stopped watching after the 10th season. After... well I won't spoil it....but I just couldn't keep going. I tried to watch a few of the 11th season but hated it and gave up. Such a good show though!

I have a very competitive and addictive personality so almost anything I do becomes an obsession for me..fitbit, weight loss, charities, tv shows, ttc, etc you get the picture

don't forget your obsession with POAS Porn.

 

[Smille24]

My opk is getting close to positive...so close. I've had cramps the last 2 days and low temps. So we're going to dtd tonight, tomorrow and Fri for certain.

Same here, it was my FAVORITE show for the first four years. Then the writing went downhill and they kept getting rid of my favorite characters. I stuck with it anyway, but after last season, I refuse to watch it anymore.

Yes! As a child, I went 2-3 times a year. I feel like I grew up there. But I haven't been back for 9 years. As soon as we get settled in NC, I'm hoping to get annual passes and go at least once a month!

For now, we're going on a Disney Cruise on Halloween (leaving 1 AM Saturday!) We went three years ago and had such an amazing time, now we have another little one to share it with. I can't wait!

[junemomma09]

Good morning everyone! 3 DPO here. Had a pretty good size temp dip this morning though i think it's too early for implantation so I'm not really sure why I'm getting it. Still above cover line. Having some mild dull pelvic ache and still gassy. But that's about it. Woke up an hour before my alarm this morning.*

I'm so stressed right now. Not baby related but job related. I went online and saw the preliminary schedule for end of November till first week of January and i pretty much got screwed. They scheduled me the day before thanksgiving and the entire weekend after thanksgiving. The two days before Christmas and the day after Christmas. Plus I'm working every single weekend over the next two months except one. Now the only reason i even have Christmas and thanksgiving off is because they do a yearly holiday tracker and those aren't my holidays this year or i think they would've scheduled me those too.*
I started crying yesterday after seeing it. I can't go without seeing or spending time with my family for two months PLUS work every single day leading up to and After the holidays. I've already put in applications elsewhere for PRN positions. I'm hoping someone comes through because i just cannot do this anymore on my unit. I work in a hospital. I know nurses are needed and I'm understanding to that but not to screw one nurse over to work everything no one else would ever be ok with doing. Sorry vent over.

 

[PrincessTaz]

Junemomma I totally understand why you're so upset! It's not fair for you to have to work all thode shifts over the holidays, I know nurses are needed but you still need to be able to have a life and spend time with your loved ones.

As for the dip if it's back up tomorrow I wouldn't worry, could just be one of those freak temps. Maybe slept with your moth open or something x

 

[junemomma09]

Princess, yeah i was so upset yesterday. If i didn't need at least a prn position is put in my notice. Family means more to me than any career. But with Christmas coming up i need a prn position to pick up a couple shifts a week. But if i can manage it the right way I'll be quitting soon.

 

[junemomma09]

So I've been reading online about the possible reasons for a temp dip at 3 dpo and apparently it's possible to have implantation as early as 3 dpo???? That's just crazy! But i guess I'll have top see what my temp does in the morning. Anyone have any insight?

 

[krissie328]

So sorry junemomma. I hope you can get a prn position soon. I don't know much about 3 dpo dip. Fx it's a good sign.

 

[AngelOb]

I thought implantation was 5dpo at the earliest but who knows, every cycle is different for sure.

I'm cd14 with a slight rise in temp but I don't think i o'd yet. No positive opk (but I can't do them when I should) but normally I get severe O pain so maybe today. Ready for the tww

 

[Angel5000]

So frustrated. Temp is up again this morning. Been hoping that since the last few days
the temps were getting low that I'd be getting close to O but temp shot up again today. :/ I typically drop into the 96s for O and I haven't even dropped below 97.1 this cycle yet. Actually.....I've only just dropped below last cycle's cover line the last few days (and now it's up again). I've had oddly high temps this cycle.

At least now that I'm off Vitex, and my body is acting crazy (again), maybe I'll be able to tell my doctor in a couple months to run some tests. I don't want there to be anything wrong, but I'm suspecting my hormones aren't exactly where they are supposed to be.


junemomma I'd be upset too!! My cousin is a nurse and the hospital he used to work in did something very similar to him. He got scheduled every weekend, every day leading up to holidays and days after. They tended to flip flop him night vs day shift and went so far as to schedule him for night shift for several days and then have him switch to day shift the next day! That got changed when he threw a royal B**** fit (because he wouldn't have gotten any more than an hour of sleep between shifts) but still. So sorry you have to deal with that. I'm surprised they don't try to at least rotate your weekends so everyone gets a weekend here or there!

As for the temp dip - mine tend to go up and down after O and so I don't know if it could be implantation this early. Keeping FX it's a happy little sticky bean though!
