Guys do you have to do a HPT using FMU?

it is best to because it gives your pee time to build up hcg... but u cant hold your pee for 4 hours or as long as you can to recreate fmu

ThatGirl - after leelee said she couldnt get your link from the front page, i tried and it didnt work for me either, but i re-did it and it appears to be working again now, so im not sure what happened there. Chart is looking good though

Does anyone know how to wash/sanitize a BBT thermometer? I have to use mine vaginally? (because my temps are far too erratic if I do so by mouth- im a mouth sleeper )
I don't want to ruin it, but i def. want to make sure im keeping it clean so i dont get an infection or something. Thanks ladies!

P.S. How often should I clean it?

 

[Kelly9]

Guppy go get yourself some alcohol wipes, like the little ones they use at the hospital before giving you a needle, they will work not ruin your thermometre and once they are dry you got nothing to worry about. I am sure walmart would have something like that.

cd7 for me, going to slowly. Cycle 16 is making me wait!

 

[Guppy051708]

Thanks Kelly! and those wipes wont irritate me after it dries and everything, right?

 

[Kelly9]

Yup once they dry they are like they were never there.

 

[Guppy051708]

sweet! Thanks for the tip, hun!

How was your day?

 

[Kelly9]

Wasn't to bad, had one class earlier and besides that just studied and made notes for my 2 finals next week. Gearing up for my first practicum. How about you?

 

[Guppy051708]

Not too bad. sorta tired though. The DH and I left super early today to drive 4 hours to Washington, D.C. for an interview that he had all day. it was pretty good but he got turned down from Progressive today too...so its been a lot of ups and downs.

 

[SarahMelissa]

guppy i agree with the alcohol wipes and definately if you are temping vaginally i would be cleaning it after each time as i wouldnt want to risk any kind of infection.

 

[camocutie2006]

hmmmm never thought of tempin vaginally.. if it doestn work out this cycle i may try that.. i find myself some morning wakinwith mouth open some closed.. we shall see.

I used to temp orally but my temps were VERY erratic. I switched to vaginal temping and the temps have been much more stable.

 

[Guppy051708]

Thats exactly how i was, Chris! Now that i am temping vaginally, my temps are closer to the "normal range" and they are not all over the place. I recommend it, but thats just me!

Oh man! this is so hard to not ! FF is giving me the "green light" to and everything, but dang it...can't! don't want to mess anything up. Trying my hardest to take the docs advice of waiting at least one cycle...

 

[leelee]

Your chart looks nice and steady ThatGirl

ooo i bet thats tuff.. idk if i could do it..

i may have to start tempin vaginally.. cuz mine are all kinds of weird.. ill get dh to pick up some of those wipes to clean them with..

Guppy why do you have to wait for insurance? Can't you just pay out of pocket for a monthly one till your DH gets a job with benefits? I'm in Canada so I know it's different but I still don't understand.

 

[Guppy051708]

Insurance is expensive and I qualify for healthy beginnings (through Medical Assitance) which would cover us until we moved, but if we move out of state we would no longer qualify. The only real thing im worried about is labor and delivery. Insurance will be around $200-$400 per month, plus we would have to pay anything up to $5000. I just dont know if we could front the money like that. I do know that some hospitals have repayment plans. Do you know what a monthly bill looks like for that? I wouldn't mind going that route if i knew it would be roughtly $40 per month, but I owe about $1500 in student loans every month. I know i could afford a payment but it couldnt be anything outrageous. I know i could afford a baby and everything, I just dont feel like we could afford to front that amount at one time. Maybe if we could pay over time (at a good rate)? Any ideas/opinions? Thanks dear!
