ok so who wants to get pregnant in 2011? (closed group)

[Huggles]

sarah, i've never done temping so i could be totally wrong in what i'm about to say, but from what i understand the only temps that might indicate pg are the ones around AF time. If you aren't pg then the temps dip and af arrives. If you are pg then they just keep going higher. Not always super duper high, but just little bit up all the time and no dip (at af time, there can be a dip around implantation time). But the temps between ov and af don't really tell whether your pg or not.

hey sheryl
was just looking at your chart the month you got pregnant, its interesting as when I view in celcius your temp never went up higher than 36.4, where I always thought your temps had to go much higher. also some of your pre o and post o temps are similar like mine.

I never thought that my temps were all that high. In fact one month they stayed high until after AF.

yes, I just thought it general you post O temps were supposed to be quite a bit higher than before O, then go even higher around AF time instead of dipping. so its good to know that post O temps dont have to be super duper high

Sarah, your temps can do all sorts of things, but with the cross hairs in there now I'd pretty much ignore the fact that a lot of your pre-O temps were high (the two high ones were poorly timed anyway so may be inaccurate. Hence the open circles), and just focus on the relationship between your current temp and the coverline (the horizontal one) rather than the relationship between your current temps and your pre-O temps...

In theory if your temp drops significantly the day before or the day of AF then you can be fairly sure AF is coming (doesn't have to go below the coverline, my first cycle it didn't!) but if your temp stays up it doesn't really mean anything. MANY women still get AF with a high temp, and their temp stays high for a few days of AF before it finally drops.

BUT in saying all of that, if you temp is high, it's more likely you're preg, just not at all certain until you get a BFP or AF still. For me, my temp didn't go up and up, it just had an implantation dip and went back up, but then levelled off. It was still high the morning AF was due so I tested, thinking it could go either way still. That was when I got my BFP.

Here's a link to my chart: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/318aca so you can see what I mean. The cycle before was only my first time temping and is much more wild than by the time I got used to it! lol!!!

So, if your temp drops when AF is due, then you can know she's coming. If your temp DOESN'T drop, it means nothing and you have to wait and see (or test to see!) but otherwise ignore the pre-O temps now and concentrate on your temps as they come in over the next couple of weeks. GOOD LUCK!!!

(oh, and the actual TEMP that they are matters not. So if they are no higher than 36.4 for Sheryl, then that was just what her body was doing. It doesn't mean any7thing to compare one persons temps to anothers, it is only the comparison of YOUR temps to YOUR temps that matters. )







omg! 16 weeks!!!!

 

[sarahincanada]

How funny! Yesterday my doctors office was trying to write that my LMP was 1/1/11 and yours actually was! And we O on CD21 together.

 

[babyhopes2323]

Dew, i am so sorry, i wont say hope you feel better because i can understand how you feel.. i will ask just like Ny, did your dh get tested? because sometimes we ignore these things only to later find out that its not always us. i was also shocked at my dh's results, it was not that bad, but they put him on clomid only to find out later on that we got pregnant before the help of clomid.

sometimes its better to know because if everything is alright, it wil,l always be a relief and you will have assurance and you will know what next step to take !


sarah, glad you are giving a shot at one more cycle, hopefully.. this will be it and you wont have to go on clomid or anything.. FX'D for you sweetie, really hope you get it this time.. praying for you and dew...

Ny, thats sweet that ella is going around telling people, she must be secretly excited to have a sibling to play with !


flying yay for 16 weeks..

i want a party too.. 14 +4 into second tri now !! go buy a doppler if you want, its great, and you wont have to wait for scans to hear the HB with your DH !

Sheryl, hope your dh finds something soon.. im sure it will all work out before the baby.. just like how medicaid got approved !

huggles, mummy cat., hope you both are doing well too xx

NDH ,. hope you are ok and are way excited about your next doctors appointment !

AFM, got a very sore back and bad sore feet, so will be heading off to foot reflexology today.. and for a massage at the same place..

the hype about the royal wedding here is crazy too !! in our building where the notice boards are, theyve put up a pic of william and kate !

bump pic following the below post. 14 + 3 / 14 + 2

to all of you.. xx

 

[Huggles]

Babyhopes, sorry your feet are so sore. However i feel i should mention that you should not have reflexology treatments when pregnant. Be very sure to mention to the person that you are pregnant as it is pretty strongly advised not to have treatments when pg.

bump pic 14 +4.. taken today.

 

[babyhopes2323]

yes i am aware that my top is inside out .. haha i just threw one on quickly to take the pic

 

[Huggles]

Wow, cool bump!

 

[NDH]

Loving your bump Preethi

 

[babyhopes2323]

ooh thanks for the advice huggles ! infact when i went in for the massage, they themselves told me about this as i was completely unaware, so they just gave me a regular massage and did not even put pressure on my lower back, plus they did not allow me to sleep on my stomach which i would not have done anyway !

 

[sarahincanada]

hi everyone!

gorgeous bump preethi! its so cute! and yes huggles is right, reflexology tends to try and cleanse the body and so they dont suggest for first tri, not sure about second tri. I know you are allowed in third tri as you can have it help with pain....in fact I think I may ask my girl to come to the hospital when Im in labour if its allowed!!!
happy 2nd tri!!!! did we not have a party for you yet, if so heres some bouncing boobs

Im so proud that so many of you got your bfp and are into 2nd tri on my thread

dew, how are you doing...you were going on a trip out of state so not sure if you have internet but I wondered if you had any spotting or not. still keeping my FX'd

hope everyone else is doing good....well Im off for a my weekly chiro and massage. I am keeping it up every week as I dont want to go through that terrible back pain I just had every again. I need to keep the lower back mobile and relaxed, and do less hours sitting and working.

my temp went up today so heres my chart. was going to keep up the BDing every other night thing but was too tired last night so will attempt tonight.
will check in later

 

[Huggles]

temps look good sarah!

As for the reflexology - my reflexologist told me they advise against it for the entire duration of pregnancy. During the birth is different, but whilst pregnant it's not advised. She said when she was studying the one lady that was studying with them was pg and the baby wasn't turned and she was like full term already. They actually turned the baby with reflexology! So it's quite powerful.

 

[Dew]

Thank you ladies!

I have bad news for you all...tested this morning and BFN on dollar store test I had pink tinged CM once around 1pm yesterday. I then called my doctor's nurse and asked her if my doc can write the orders for day3 hormone testing, should hear back from her today. This test was scheduled to happen earlier but that cycle I got my BFP. DH too gave his sample 2 days back. We got our BFP first time in 6-7 months so really it wasn't too long or a matter of concern...but it's always good to get tested. I have to change my ticker, AF is not due tomorrow but day after. Last night we BDed and I again had pink color in CM. DH was so hopeful for this cycle I feel sad for him usually when he is positive about something it does happen so I was trying to keep faith in his faith. Oh well! Move on to next cycle and the journey continues...very sadly though

Preethi, your bump does look very beautiful.

Sarah, I am liking that big spike in temp today. FXed for you this cycle

Hope everyone else is doing well....good luck with your upcoming appointments ladies

I am now gonna soak myself in this Jacuzzi tub right in the bedroom...fancy right?

 

[Dew]

The nurse just called, orders are in for day 3 tests.

 

[sherylb]

Baby your bump is amazing!

I am watching 16 and pregnant and am shocked that this girl is 9 months pregnant b/c her bump is so much smaller than I am used to seeing on this show.

Dew sorry about bfn. I got my bfp after bfn though.

I seem to have slept thru the royal wedding.

 

[MummyCat]

Preethi...gorgeous bump!!

Dew... so sorry for the BFN! but glad you're getting tested, at least you'll know if there's something that can be worked on etc...

We had a lovely day... here are the kiddies (antenatal group) and their Royal Wedding celebrations!

Lottie is the one second on the right. Next to the little boy!
