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

[nypage1981]

Im good baby hopes thanks for asking! The only thing i can complain about is my sniffer. I smell bad scents about every 5 seconds and its aggravating. I'd like to walk around wearing some of that stuff under my nose....vapo rub or whatever!

 

[babyhopes23]

hey sarah, gotta admit, yes i got my thermometer and temped this morning. i did enter my temp too as i am already registered. i also entered period signs etc. but one thing i gotta say is.. i dont know how to do these signature things !! if i knew id do it.. ive tried many a time. ill post the link to my page on FF. hope that helps.. we didnt BD last night. too full from dinner . lol


hey NY. sorry ur going through the sniffer phase but hey.. its all worth it once you get your BFP i guess.. we'll go through anything just to get a BFP !

Babyhopes:

1. On FF, you will click on My Home Page on the menu. It should give you a link that looks like this (except that I have changed mine from a number in options)
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/sherylb

2. On BnB, you will click on Edit Signature in Your Control Panel or User CP. You will copy and paste the FF link into this box and click save signature.

If you want to do a FF ticker instead of just posting the link I can give you instructions for that.

 

[babyhopes23]

@ sherylb thanks

after a loser attempt, i have got it and have posted it on my signature, though when you click on it, it takes you to my homepage ! and then you have to click on my chart to see my chart . or should i just paste the URL on my chart page to my signature?

 

[babyhopes23]

ok i have a question. it may be stupid, but do all digital thermometers have to say "basal body temp" inorder for us to know that we can use it to temp for when we want to conceive?

i read on FF that they say make sure the one you use says basal body so im a bit confused. :S

 

[nypage1981]

Yes baby its got to be a basal body one....they record your temp more accurately.

 

[sherylb]

I just use a digital. I read that anything to .1 was accurate enough.

And you need to modify your homepage so that it shows your chart. If we aren't logged in as you we can only see our own chart by click on my chart.

1. My Home Page
2. Home Page Settings
3. Under Available Charts your current chart should be listed. Click on it and click Add Chart. Then click Save Settings for good measure. Not exactly sure if Add Chart saves it.

 

[babyhopes23]

oh ok. noted my temp rise today, honestly sheryl this may sound like im stupid but i spent half n hour trying to get this signature to go directly to my chart but its not happening.

i was unable to find available charts under the settings. what i did though was find share/group settings, then it allowed me to cpy paste two types of URL and share it on message boards, so i picked one of them and pasted it on my signature.

and now my signature shows "my ovulation chart" but still takes you back to that page. i got a ticker for ov, but unable to post that on my signature, its not allowing me to do so.

maybe perhaps one of you could do it for me and email it to me? and then i can ass it on to my BNB signature. if its too much hassle, please dont worry, it was just a suggestion

thanks, because i would be trying forever and still not getting it right !

one more mix up is the dates on the charts, when i click on 16 as its 16th here, it still sticks on 15th. is this because of time difference? im able to enter my data on the 16th, but the top arrow part above the chart still stays on 15th. dont know why.

Hello lovelies...

Just thought I'd pop on while I had a few mine of internet time on hols! A little Canadian birdy had mentioned that a couple of you have got your BFP's... HUGE congrats hoping you have a happy and healthy 9 months!

Fingers crossed that this month is a good one for the rest of you!!

I'm still taking my aspirin daily, hoping it'll help a little bean stick... if we're lucky! x

 

[Want2bMum]

hello ladies,

I am 29... 30 in few weeks and my DH in 34, we have been together for 9 years and married for over 2

January 2011 has been our first cycle TTC #1. My last AF was on 31 December 2010 (yes, just on time to spoil new years eve party!!!) and no show up since. Did few FRERs but just got

I don't think I am pg as I have no symptoms at all, just think I am so very unlucky that the first time we decide to TTC my body is messed up for some reason!!! Not sure if I even o this months...

We are wishing so much to have our beautiful lil one by 2011
so we got until April... FX!!

I hope my AF will show soon so I can start charting properly... I also bought Vitex (Agnus Castus) and vitamins to start on CD1... does anyone know if I can take Vitex and vitamins together?

well, good luck to all of us for lots and lots of beautiful 2011 babies!!!

 

[Huggles]

Hi Want2bMum - I can't comment on the Vitex etc, but this was also our first proper ttc month and, just like you, the witch has not arrived yet. I'm now 4 days late but getting bfn's (last tested on monday - 2 days late). So frustrating when our bodies go bonkers just as we want them to behave!

 

[nypage1981]

Just saying hi ladies! Baby- i'll let sheryl answer that question only because I dont really know much about the temping and stuff. I hope its working out for you though and will give you answers.

Welcome to the thread new comers!

Hi Mummy!

Sarah- how are you, where you been, u ok?

 

[sarahincanada]

hi everyone!

sorry not been on, my husband is sick (both ends!!) and so been looking after him. he was off work yesterday and is staying off today too, but he is now eating. he usually does the cooking in our house so Ive been forced into the kitchen!! on top of that having a heavy period urghh.

huggles and babyhopes keeping my fingers crossed that the witch does not arrive (babyhopes I hope Sheryl can help you as I am just as clueless! I know to get the link to my chart I clicked on 'home page set up' and it gave me the link, do you see that in the area that your chart is?)

mummycat great to hear from you, when are you back in the uk I miss you! are you in the 2ww yet?

Want2bMum welcome to our group! its been quite a lucky one so far good luck, it is SO annoying when your cycle goes wonky....I just had a month where I didnt ovulate and starting spotting CD15 and period CD20. Do you temp or use ovulation tests?

I will try and catch up soon ladies

 

[flyingduster]

babyhopes, when you're on your chart, go to the side menu, hover over "sharing" and then click on "home page setup" that comes up in the options.

Now on there, there should be a link at the top of it to share. But before you try sharing that link, click on the "preview" option to make sure it'll show your chart. If it doesn't, then I'm not sure what's wrong but send me a PM and I'm happy to see if I can help. If the preview DOES show your chart how it's supposed to, then go back to that "home page setup" page and copy the link that's at the top of the page on THERE. not any link in your settings area. THAT will be the link to your chart....


You can change your time zone in the settings area though (hover over 'settings' and then click on "charting options" and the time zone is one of the first things to come up on there.

Hi Sarahincanada we have only been TTC for 1 cycle and didn't chart... I am defo going to do it though as soon as AF shows up... I am very impatient
I never took temperature, can it be done with a normal thermometer? and do you think I should wait for AF or start right now?

Thank you

hi! I purchased a fertility therm, not sure if you can use a regular one, but I know the fertility therm takes detailed temps. i started in the middle of my cycle so it doesnt matter when you do, but the temps wont mean much at first. I didnt temp today as my hubby was ill and I forgot, not sure if it matters if you miss a day.
I also use the ovulation test sticks, I find pinpointing your ovulation will be key if you are impatient! they detect your surge then you know you should ovulate in the following 12--36 hours. then your temps should hopefully confirm that you did ovulate.
I think I have tried for 5 full months now, it was very exciting at first but now I just expect my period every month so will be floored when I finally get my bfp! I think the first few months are tough as you feel you have done everything right but dont get pregnant. Also I have learned on here that pregnancy symptoms and period symptoms are basically the same, so you cannot really get to excited about symptoms.
good luck and

 

[sarahincanada]

you know its funny, it feels sooooo long that Ive been officially TTC but Ive realized its only actually been 4 months! I started my printouts and tracking in September, then October, skipped November as my mum was staying with us, December, then had the wonky period and so just tried again end of January.
Thats only 4 tries!! its so easy to get upset and think wow whats happening, why wont it happen, but you have to bring in some reality.

once I get my polyp removed though I will be expecting something to happen, and have to be patient there too. even though the polyp is in the way, just having that removed doesnt immediately mean I will get pregnant.

I really do feel in my heart I will get pregnant this year. It may not be by April to give birth this year, but thats ok. When its meant to be it will be.

so happy for the bfp's so far!

You have a great mind about it- you are right- it WILL happen for you, you just cant control when! Thats the amazing part of it all- when it does happen, its just breath taking because there you were, one day, everything aligned and everything perfect.

 

[Want2bMum]

Well said sarahincanada

Good luck

how long were you trying in total? it must feel so weird, after so many months of nothing and then just like that it happens, its so amazing.
when is your next dr's apt?
