Oh look we have a guest lol

^ are you serious Betheney.. I do believe we are all adult that know how to temp hun.

Yes I was serious and no I wasn't being condescending or rude. I assume you are all adults as you are all TTC. Not that being an adult has anything to do with knowing the ins and outs of TTC. My friend who is an adult (in her 30s) has really erratic temps and she told me just yesterday that she thinks it's because she didn't know she had to test under the tongue. Which I just do by default because I did it with my first LO, which is why I never told her to. Then when I wrote that post I thought maybe it's as easy as that for some women on here, maybe they just didn't know like my adult friend didn't know.

Betheney I didNt realise you had to temp to one side under the tongue. I used to stick it in the middle under my tongue. Now I always go left hand side under my tongue lol

I could never decide which side to take so take both and average them. Lol. But I record both temps and if i ever wanted to i could make 3 charts one with only left temps one with only right and the one on FF with the average. That way I figured if I did what I was suppose to do and only test one side I'd see what it looks like.

Lol that's quite funny. I imagine you with two thermometer sticking out of your mouth every morning lol.

Do you see much difference in the temperatures?

Stupid FF friend still says I've ov. I feel like adjusted all of my previous temps to my new time of temping. Might try that and see what the chart looks like lol just want this cycle to end lol

 

[Betheney]

Yeah I just had a look at your chart and I really have no idea. The last two cycles were so much shorter were they also with Soy??

Sometimes the temps are really different which confuses me so i'll take them both again but then if that temp sticks way out I can see that it was a weird day and maybe discard it. Most of them time the temps are really close, this cycle they've been incredibly close. I find that whatever side I sleep on has a tiny bit higher temp so I didn't like taking one side because some nights that would be the side I slept on and some nights it wouldn't which is why I thought "bugger it I'll take both" Lol.

Hey no my first two cycles are natural cycles. First one is my withdrawal bleed from the pill and second is a natural cycle. No idea what happened to this one!

I hope it's not the soys fault I love soy.

 

[Betheney]

Maybe you ov'd around CD70 and your temp is dropping before AF hits. But that means it's started dropping around 5dpo which is early foe it to start dropping. Some months. Mine doesn't drop till the day of AF but some months it starts dropping from 8dpo.

I'm really just guessing tho....

 

[Diddums]

Thanks Betheney

I haven't actually taken soy yet. Was waiting for this cycle to finish soni could take it for the first time on my next cycle. I took b vitamins complex and agnus castus. I stopped taking the b complex but still taking the vitex. I don't think i ov on cd70. It coincides too much with me getting a major cold and chest infection/chesty cough. And as I felt better my temp dropped so I think it was my body increasing its temp to fight infection. Oh well I will wait it out and see what results I get from my blood test next week. That will for sure tell me whether I ov or not xx

oh that makes heaps of sense! of course you temp would raise for that.

Good luck anyway!

I'm a temping virgin and I've been on these forums for 11months and I didn't know you had to temp under mouth OR that it had to be same side! So thanks for the info, should I decide to start temping I will remember that as I don't fancy vaginal temping, I prefer to leave my hooha for one think only haha xx

hahaha thanks just_married That's also why i thought i'd say something, the first time TTC i remember seeing it written everywhere! and this time around after my friend mentioned not knowing i thought to myself "well yeah i haven't seen anyone mention that once on BnB this time around maybe some don't know"

Vag temping just wasn't for me either. But then again i'm really squeemish when it comes to checking my cervix.

 

[shellie31]

I don't temp but i didn't know you had to take it a cretain way either , so you were right Bethaney in thinking that

 

[Betheney]

Thanks honey

i feel like anything i write these days gets picked on by someone, i hate conflict and get this feeling in my throat when i see people react negatively to something i write. The parenting threads get very heated very easily so i'm lately sticking to the TTC threads because it's mostly full of hopeful friendly TTCers. It's really nice to see some love and support being given

 

[shellie31]

I know what you mean , i thought the post was a bit rude too, theres no need for that, we're all TTC & should be supporting each other

 

[poppy666]

For what its worth i had no idea where to stick it either had to ask on here cos i wouldnt of put it under my tongue otherwise

 

[Betheney]

Thanks Shellie and poppy666!!!



We should probably get back to soy-iso chat now though!

I'm considering not taking it next cycle because i've been taking it for well over 6 cycles and i don't think you're suppose to take it past like 2-3 (i can't remember because i didn't care i was taking it regardless). But it means we might be stuck BDing everyday for like 2 weeks and the 6 days we did this cycle were hard enough!!

 

[hopefulmom2]

I think it may be too late to start temping this cycle. I am not sure if I want to temp anyway, because either way its difficult, I sometimes sleep with my mouth open and then temping the oral way would get it messed up, and temping vaginally, sometimes have to get up and down during the night, and I am not sure how to even do that. I have my saliva microscope and will still keep and eye out for that, Right now he wants to really be on the outs, hes leaving it out of his hands. He says IF it happens It happens. He asked me last night why I was so Apt to getting pg, then says is it my biological clock, um no I will be 30 in July and really dont want to be old and gray raising kids. Plus he jokes and says he wants 6, plus the one I already have. I dont think I could handle that many. jokes aside I want about 2 more. Maybe another girl and boy, gives me one of each and him also one of each. When the time comes and we are blessed with a child that is.

Good luck Ladies this month. Is it ok to start temping at CD9 just in case I decide to? and Thanks Betheney for the input, I had no idea about the temping either. Will have to remember that one side of the mouth and I knew under the tongue.

 

[Diddums]

Hopeful it shouldnt be too late to start temping now. You should still get an idea of when you ov

Still NO AF I'm just going to give my body time. I'm seeing my dr in a week and a half at cd90 so might ask outright if she can prescribe me provera
