Wow, SPP that is fascinating, thank you so much for posting that. ooooh those little could have got to the eggie after all

As for the other I did wonder whether that would help or hinder, always been slightly cautious after O with just in case would be nice to know if it is Ok lol

 

[terripeachy]

You started taking your temperature at the right time, felcity, and yes, I think you timed it pretty well too!

I'll have to check out those articles later. Thanks

SPP-You and your family are always into something. HA!!HA!! I hope you were able to stop the fights again. Wow.

It's warm here today, so hubs went out to the golf range while I am working on my motorcycle group's newsletter. Pages (Apple software) updated their software and it's like starting all over again. I think it has some bugs in it too, and it's driving me crazy (batty?). HA!!HA!! I hope I can get this finished tonight. I don't want to have to redo everything in Word. Ugh...

VJEAN!!!!

Wish you can always hope AF twists her ankle and cuts her stay short!

Sounds like a lovely time Fezzle . We would have gone down the same path .

Back from my confirm and the peesticks don't lie .

Awesome, SPP!

AFM - Got another beta # back. Kinda more of the same. Not doubling as I would like, but still going up. I did one of those calculators and it's still at doubling every 80 hours. 48-72 is more desirable. Another round of betas next week. I asked if an early ultrasound would be helpful. The nurse said the dr usually doesn't do them before 7 weeks because there isn't much to see other than a sac, but she would ask the dr.

My #s for those that are curious. She wasn't worried about P drop. Still taking the cream.
2/11 - hcg - 180; P - 37.5
2/13 - hcg - 267
2/19 - hcg - 930; P - 24.5.

Those numbers sound fine to me, they are trending upwards, and that is a good sign. I know it is too hard to relax, but know we are all pulling for you here!

As promised

Awesome, garfie!! So glamorous!

BD 3 days after O isn't going to do anything for catching the egg since she's long gone but I have read that lovin' in the TWW where you, erh, get to your pinnacle as well, ahem, may help implantation . I'll have to look for where I read that. If I was feeling personally I'd skip it ;-).

And while I'm at it, here's one NEJM article I found:

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199512073332301

as well as

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/The-Fertile-Window---Scientific-Literature-Review.html

and this American Pregnancy Association article with mention of the OV-Watch fertility monitor:

https://americanpregnancy.org/gettingpregnant/PEovwatch.htm

I would really like to see that info on BD and implantation, when you have a chance to find it! Thanks for the knowledge, SPP!!

Oh, AFM: We are in the States!!!!
Soooooooo jetlagged...that is why I haven't really been on. Tired, tired, tired!! I will still be away for a few days, we have our big appointment with the good doctor on Monday, and DD and I don't get to Maine until next Friday night. Right now we are with DH's sister in NJ, and we travel to Va after our appointment on Monday to see DH's parents.
I will update after our appointment- it is when we will have our first spate of tests. I am very curious to see what tests he ordered....

 

[Sis4Us]

Yay Glad to have u Back Oldermom!!!!

Hope the Apt sheds some lite on things for Ya!!!!

 

[terripeachy]

SPP-I thought Momof3 was over here too, but then I remembered she was on TTC break, so she probably didn't know about it since it all began this month. Welcome again Momof3! You got me good with the Balki reference. HA!!HA!!

Oldermom-So glad you made it back to the states. I figured you were jet lagged big time, and you are going to be a driving maniac going to NJ and VA and Maine. Enjoy yourself and get some rest while visiting your family. I can't wait to hear what the good doctor says. fx fx for you!

Sis-I'm usually cold, so I'm happy i have a full time bedmate now (hubs). My dog used to sleep on the bed HA!!HA!! but my fosters always sleep in their crates. They are usually dirty AND I don't want them to get used to sleeping on the bed because their future family may not allow that. Glad Pibbles is keeping you company. I can't wait to hear about the excitement at your bday party tomorrow. woohoo!!

 

[Blueshoney]

Sis-I am not even pregnant and I looked up baby girl patterns for me to knit!
Oldermom-I've been to UAE, OMG the time difference is a killer!
Momof3-Yea welcome back!

AFM-waiting to my positive OPK. We are doing to some home improvement projects this weekend. That should help keep my mine of TTC for at least a little bit!

 

[SweetPotatoPi]

Can't remember where I read the female orgasm/implantation info but here's one of the pages I came across earlier:

https://www.fertilityafter40.com/ca...on-or-during-the-ldquotwo-week-waitrdquo.html

I haven't seen a concrete answer saying yay or nay on any of the pages I've looked at either way. I'm thinking that in general female orgasm during the TWW is fine unless something specific has been found that makes it not a good idea.

 

[SweetPotatoPi]

oldermom!! Rest up doll and enjoy your family. Can't wait to hear how the appt goes .

terri I still love that show .

What are ya'll working on Blues?

 

[SweetPotatoPi]

And definitely welcome back on board MO3G! I dusted you in the other thread but more never hurts .

Good luck keeping your mind from TTC- I have never been able to do it! Home improvements are pretty fun, though. DH and I love them!
What were you in the UAE for, if you don't mind me asking?

terri I still love that show .

What are ya'll working on Blues?

Thanks SPP! And thanks ladies, for the support! You guys are rocks!

 

[Sis4Us]

Havent heard from Vjean since the BFP I hope everything is Ok???!???!!

I'll post pics of the Beans spilling and my cake Tom!! Hopefully I can sleep tonite Nitey Nite ladies!!!

 

[nessaw]

We are officially back in the game! But going for ntnp this month as our wedding is in about 40ish weeks time! I don't mind being pg for it but maybe not ready to drop.

 

[terripeachy]

Sis-HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I hope you have a wonderful day today.

Great news, nessaw!

ERose/VJean-Yoohoo? Hope you guys are doing ok. We miss you!!

AFM-I'm debbie downer this morning. My temperature is the same again and my thermometer is working. I know yesterday I said I'd be patient, but I'm tired of being patient. I had a neg. OPK yesterday so I think this month is a bust. This just sucks.

 

[battyatty]

Atty -Did you do anything different to get better EWCM this cycle?? I can't remember the last time I had decent stretch lol mine tends to be watery now, occasionally gets stretchy but not much sorry TMI

Felicity I have no idea where my amazing ewcm came from? I just check every morning and usually I find it hard to find any stretch!

Can't remember where I read the female orgasm/implantation info but here's one of the pages I came across earlier:

https://www.fertilityafter40.com/ca...on-or-during-the-ldquotwo-week-waitrdquo.html

I haven't seen a concrete answer saying yay or nay on any of the pages I've looked at either way. I'm thinking that in general female orgasm during the TWW is fine unless something specific has been found that makes it not a good idea.

SPP I wish I knew the definitive answer to this question, I have read so much and I cant find a yes or no!I will let you into an oddity about me.... Each time I have been pregnant, if I orgasm it hurts like hell, I can actually feel my uterus pulsating in waves! The earliest I feel this is from just 4 weeks, its one of my definate pregnancy symptoms. So knowing how much my uterus moves I am scared to O during my TWW!

AFM-I'm debbie downer this morning. My temperature is the same again and my thermometer is working. I know yesterday I said I'd be patient, but I'm tired of being patient. I had a neg. OPK yesterday so I think this month is a bust. This just sucks.

Dont throw in the towel just yet Terri, it maybe you are just a little late this month! Look at me I am so damn early!

 

[Fezzle]

Happy birthday, Sis!

Terri- hope you get that +OPK and temperature shift soon!

AFM- still bleeding, but it's nice to have a period after over 6 months without a real flow!

 

[SweetPotatoPi]

Woohoo! Nothin' wrong with some NTNP to prime the pump nessaw .

Happy Happy Born Day Sis! Enjoy the party ; can't wait to hear how it went!

That's one helluva preggo symptom atty! I could definitely see being hesitant for TBO during the TWW then!

Massive terri . Yes, O may very well be taking her sweet time so don't give up just yet. Deeeeeeep breath, feels a little better yes? Enjoy service today doll .

Sending up a hurrah for AF for you then Fezzle . I hope this means she's getting her booty back on track .

Alright, off for my run!

 

[terripeachy]

Thanks SPP. I was feeling better. HA! I just put on makeup to get ready to go to church, and you have me weeping. I'm going to be a mess today. Thanks for the flower! Enjoy your run today!
