[[OPEN]] From Butterflies to Babies (5! bfps, 1 angel)

[x-ginge-x]

Well, I found that having the fan on in the bedroom, reduced my temperature dramatically, but I am guessing that if you have the aircon on throughout your cycle it shouldn't make too much difference as you should still see a clear shift? If its just on odd days maybe make a note on FF

 

[HopefulPony]

I can't remember - what CD are you Hopeful Pony? If you did ovulate - were you able to get any tries in this month?

I'm on CD18 - no tries yet this month donor lives 70 miles away so we kind of have to be really sure it's the right time I thought it was a good idea to just use OPKs this month and not use digis - how wrong was I?! It is still fairly early for me but the fact the lines have blanked out is not good. Currently stuffing chocolate and feeling bummed

 

[LeaLion]

Good idea! I didn't think of that... DH randomly turns it on and off on some days, so I am going to pay attention to that

 

[HopefulPony]

Lol goodhart!!! I totally relate... Got around 30 cheapies in my bathroom cabinet... This drives my hubby mad!!! He goes: Do you really need to test a hundred times a day??? Of course I do...

Savasanna: That is soooo sweet! I wish you good luck and a lot of happy screams when you finally get a BFP.

HopefullPony - I hope you at least got the chance to BD before or right after possible O. I know it is hard not knowing when exactly you ovulated... So FX there were some swimmers around and u get a sticky bean

Ginge: FX for you too! The sticks look good, so keep testing and BDing! I hope you ovulate soon...

We do artificial insemination so sadly no swimmers present which means if I've missed it I'm out

 

[Savasanna]

Lea - I've wondered that as well.. I was really hoping my temps would be higher yesterday and this morning.. but then realized those are the two days it's been really hot where I live so we've had the air conditioner running. I might make us sleep in the humidity tonight as I want to see high temps!!

Hopeful - I'm so sorry! I TOTALLY understand how frustrating that is! Our donor is also not local so we're stuck with guessing as well. Usually we just ask him to visit CD13-17 and hope hope hope that I ovulate within that time frame. But, I don't ovulate on the same day every cycle, and we all have those rogue cycles, so we've missed the mark before as well. So frustrating. Fx you haven't ovulated yet and maybe the lines are getting lighter because your body was preparing to surge, but got delayed and your REAL surge is yet to come!

 

[HopefulPony]

It's so frustrating isn't it - if it was just sex we could just do it and hope for the best! If it wasn't for our son we would have probably gone down anyway and got a donation, but it's not fair to drag him out after nursery when he should be in bed, if we aren't certain and might have to do it again. I do normally have a small surge, I call it my fake ovulation around day 14, but I've had that already - maybe I'm having 2 this cycle! It might be different because of the chemical last month I guess. I would go and buy a digi but we just got hit with a fine (wife went down a bus lane!) so can't afford one

 

[Savasanna]

Right?! We are always saying that we wish we could just bd and make a baby! It's so annoying to have to deal with someone else's schedules and timing and yadda yadda yadda. Don't get me wrong, I'm SO grateful to have a donor - but man is it a pain sometimes!

There's a thread here "lesbians in the TWW".. although it goes in an out of being super active. Right now it's not really.. but I still check it whenever someone posts something. It's a good place if you ever need to vent about these things! I'll go post in it so it'll bring it back to the first page for you!

 

[HopefulPony]

Ah yeah I think we were part of that first time round! Having to deal with someone else as part of this process is really annoying, ours have said to us if it's next week can we come after their kids are in bed as their daughter starts school next week and they don't want her overstimulated, it's fair enough but they're 70 miles away from us! Which means we have to drag our toddler out in the evening, and get back really late it's not fair on him, and we don't have a babysitter.

 

[x-ginge-x]

Green and blue 10pm tests and then the 4 from top to bottom 11am, 7pm then bottom 2 10pm!!

 

[Savasanna]

Funny! I had no idea that thread had been around for so long! Anyway, I hear you.. It's totally in their right, but I hate how donors can come across a little.. Powerful, I guess? Like they know we need them and they know how important this is to us so they kind of take a little advantage of our emotions. Maybe that's just mine, though. Haha. In any event, like I said - I'm SO grateful to our donor, I just CANT WAIT until he's not so regularly part of our lives and we can go back to holidays and family weekend visits.

I hear ya! I feel bad because it's a big week for our toddler too, it's his first week in the toddler room in nursery and he's shattered bless him I might see if there's someone who can stay with him at home while we drive to Norwich.

I went to the page you created the blingee and copied the code from there.
It didn't work for me either at first.

 

[Maggs]

Ginge-That top yesterday looked good!

Sav & Pony-I hope things go to plan for both of you. I didn't realise we had two ladies in here relying on donors.
