Unrelated: Took my son out shopping for a Halloween costume. He was a bit scared of the dino we got so thought we would let him pick one. Made the mistake of walking him past a prop that jumped out and made noise- oh my god did that kid ever scream! Needless to say he was shaking and clinging to us the rest of the night. He finally found a costume he wasn't scared of- Batman! Except he won't let us put it on him....But we have a month to work on it I guess!

@Blackrain90 he is so so so cute! What a sweet face! Thanks for sharing. The pic really made me smile.

I slept 3 hours and woke up not feeling well. My temp was 99.23. I've been sitting on the couch watching youtube since 3am.

 

[todmommy4568]

Black he is so cute! Looks a lot like you! I don't like posting pictures here per say haha but on the link I posted to my fitbit page I am pretty sure people can see my profile pic even if we aren't friends hehe I'm always so curious to know what people look like.

Ivska I saw your temp earlier and was going to ask if you were sick. hoping you feel better soon! On the plus side being sick means lower immune system which means easier implant! Unless your bodies immune system is already up to fight whatever you have....I don't know I am just talking out of my *** right now

 

[Blackrain90]

Yikes Ivska I hope you feel better soon!! Yeah I was wondering about the temp too. I'm extremely hot and feeling a smidge off too so hopefully I'm not getting ill. Fx'd you get some rest!

Haha Angel (whoops should say todmommy!) every single person that sees my son instantly says 'oh my gosh he looks exactly like his daddy' so it's a nice change to have someone say he looks like me lol. I'm not super paranoid about pictures of myself on here since most of the people are in another country lol.

I'm finally back home. What a weekend (plus today). I can't believe I'm going back to work tomorrow. This just feel so surreal. I started to get sick, so I now have a cold too. Blah. But, based on temps for today and yesterday I think that maybe I did actually O Saturday. It isn't above ALL the other temps, because of the temp spike from earlier in cycle, but it is above at least the last week. And I've read it only has to spike over the last 6. I'll hopefully be able to confirm O after tomorrow's temp. I'm also hoping this cold I have isn't affecting my temps too much. I've also had creamy CM today and starting mid-day yesterday which leads me to believe O occurred.

On the symptom spotting aspect - my nipples started hurting Saturday, and today they are almost unbearable to touch. Taking a shower alone was incredibly painful. I've had this before, a couple months ago, so I am not really putting much into it. Possible it's just related to ovulation but i thought that O symptoms would be gone by now if I did O on Saturday.

I need to get some decent sleep, so I'm going to take cold meds tonight to help me sleep. Hoping they don't affet my temp.

Welcome back Ivksa!!!

cscbeth I'm always looking for new fitbit friends!! I sent you a PM with my info!

todmommy I added you on Fitbit!

 

[Blackrain90]

Sore nips are a good confirmation that you did O, it's likely caused by the increase in progesterone.

Good morning ladies and welcome back ivksa! Hope you're feeling better and your temp is back to normal post O levels

As for me, I'm counting myself out for this cycle, but i've come to terms with it. Not sure if i was having stress or what it was, but i'm almost sure i won't ovulate this cycle. So i'm just going to wait for AF, not take any more OPKs and also not stress about BDing. Still going to keep temping but only cause i get up at the same time anyway and i don't want to break the habit.
Still a bit bummed because i really didn't want to be in early pregnancy during carnival season (january/february) where i have a lot of dance performances and obviously stress i would like to avoid but still be so early that we're probably not comfortable telling everyone.. but we'll cross that bridge when we get there i guess.

To everyone else, hope you all caught the egg this month

 

[lvksa]

Thanks ladies . I took my temp again a little bit ago to see if I had a fever and it is back down to 98 but my entire body is aching. My lower back is sore and my arms and legs feel like they are full of sand. Sometimes I get sick after doing a lot of travel, so I’m not super surprised, but I hope that it goes away quickly.

 

[cscbeth8421]

So last night my husband made me promise to "not get crazy with pregnancy tests this month." I reminded him i did in fact have + pregnancy tests last month which resulted in the pregnancy not progressing. Like a super early MC.

So what do i do this morning at 5dpo....test. lol feast your eyes on this BFN. We will just keep this between us.

 

[MsRipple]

Bring on the tests my fellow crazy pee on a stick ladies! Flashing back to marching into the bathroom with three types of opks and a determined look on my face

@ black @ ivska hoping y'all have an embryo heating you up and not an illness!


I think I ovulated yesterday and not Sunday. Temp up this am. Was hoping to bd day before o but oh well, two days isn't bad. Fingers crossed for crosshairs!

 

[todmommy4568]

Black I agree not too much to worry about I just wonder because I found this forum through googling questions and it comes up all the time now when I go to dr Google and not many people know we are TTC so I don't want to be accidentally spotted

Angel I'm sorry you are feeling sick cough medicine hasn't ever seemed to really affect my temps in the past. I was so out of it when I woke up this morning lol I saw your fitbit request and accepted it while saying who the h*ll is this I am on fitbit groups and have a thread posted on BnB so I shouldn't really be surprised by new friends

Cupcake I hope things get sorted out soon for you

Ivska- Epsom salt bath? Always makes me feel better when I feel like that, draw some of that nasty crud out and relax the muscles. Good sign that your temp is going down though (how often do I say that?! Haha)

Beth it'll be our secret 5dpo is when you know you are a POAS addict!

 

[todmommy4568]

I agree ripple it looks like the eggy popped yesterday. You had good quality cm which makes 2 days okay

 

[cscbeth8421]

That test was just for fun. PROMISE to hold out till at least sunday (10dpo) hoping to hang in there till tuesday. But lets be honest.

 

[mrscletus]

Beth- I'm just glad someone cracked before I did... LOL

I am really trying to wait until Friday... BUT who knows what tomorrow (7dpo) will bring. LOL

 

[Angel5000]

Got my CH this morning. I am 3DPO and officially in the TWW.

Apparently I took too much cold medicine last night, I can barely keep my eyes open today, my head is so foggy I can't even think straight. Thank goodness I have training today instead of teaching classes. While I prefer to teach instead of sit through boring training sessions, today I'll be glad for something that doesn't require me to be in charge of students. Hoping I'll be a little better for tomorrow.

I don't understand a lot of the shortened talk but I'm TTC after an 18 month break. I had 3 miscarriages and me and OH wanted a break.

This is my first month of trying, I am using the App Olia and according to that I am... on day 20 of my cycle and I had my egg white and then water CF a few days ago so I think I ovulated around 16-17.

I weighed myself on 21st and was 224lbs - normal for me and has been for 18 months ish. But I weighed myself this morning and I'm 228.4lbs! I haven't changed any of my habits either. So I have no idea whats going on.

all good!

 

[mrscletus]

Yay for Angel its great getting solid CH right??

And welcome to Lawes1987 , so sorry to hear of your losses. I understand why you wanted a break. And with the weight honestly our bodies will fluctuate so much during our cycles... I would just keep monitoring it.

AFM- So exhausted!! I really cant wait to get home from work and take a little siesta!!

 

[cscbeth8421]

My sense of smell is off the charts! I walked into our bathroom at home, and i could smell mildew! (i'm an OCD cleaner, so my bathroom is never dirty enough to smell!) I immediately took everything, shower curtain, shower liner, 2 rugs, all washcloths and towels and put them in the washer with bleach. Our bathroom echo's now! Feels like we are moving!
