TTC #1 Hopeful and Obsessed! lol

[BelleNuit]

Bella I think the sickness is a good sign for you!

Don't be embarrassed about pokemon go, I think it's great if it gets people outside and moving around some more! I just calculated my BMI and while I'm in the normal range for weight it's borderline , like if gained a few more lbs I'd be considered over weight. That was a blow to the ego!! Lol I'm considering becoming obsessed about being a health buff and forget about TTC haha. I'm going to try to lose 20 lbs, obviously going at a healthy pace. I think the first few pounds will come off pretty easily but it might get tricky after that

Belle! It will happen!!!! It will it will! And when it does it is going to be the most incredible feeling in the world. And I've seen charts exactly like yours where it turned out to be a bfp. So don't give up until she arrives!

I don't think I've ovulated!!!!!! Wtf?!?!? It's never taken more than cd 16 and it's cd 17!!! I thought for sure I'd hAve a temp rise today. Instead it dropped!!!! What the heck man!

Maybe one day?! Some day?!

 

[BelleNuit]

Puma! You always give me such hope!!!

I bet your temp drop today means that today is O day!!! Fingers crossed you get a nice big rise tomorrow!

Those temps always have you ladies going nuts!

I never tempted during TTC so I have no idea what the impact of the dips and all really means. But I wouldn't follow them to the T.

Our bodies play tricks on us and maybe this is the month that you ovulated puma without you even knowing. As long as you covered your BD bases it will be fine !


Belle. Having a healthy child IS in your future. You will concieve And it will happen soon.

I'm putting it into the atmosphere ! Take it easy and don't get too caught up in the charts.

Your baby is worried about those charts lol

 

[BelleNuit]

BabyC, you're totally right of course I probably put too much stock into LP temps. Cognitively i know they are meaningless, lol. But I feel like they give me some aspect of control over something that I feel so powerless about.

Mentally I feel like I've been checked out of this cycle for awhile now lol. I'm thinking of trying baby aspirin next cycle. Supposed to be good for people who have mild clotting difficulties when TTC.

I don't think I could have said it better. There is definitely some relevance to monthly temps. BabyC is correct in that there is absolutely no way to know THE EXACT moment of ovulation. An estimation for me though, is the little bit of control I desire. Lol

Its tough Belle. Especially when our friends have successfully conceived. Its really easy to convince ourselves that there is something wrong. It will probably take my husband and quite a bit longer to conceive because of the medications he has been on.

HOWEVER!!!!!! ALL OF US, but especially YOU - Ms. Belle) will conceive. And it will be amazing and awesome. Regardless of how impossible we make ourselves believe it might be.

BabyC was TTC one month longer than me so I am holding hope that since she conceived last month... That I will conceive this month lol

Statistics, numbers, odds..... None of these have anything to do with our hearts and desires, yet we rely so heavily on them.

Perhaps we should focus more on what we truly want rather than the odds of NOT obtaining what we want.

BECAUSE focusing on what we aren't getting... Is still putting negative energy into the air

 

[BelleNuit]

You put that so beautifully puma!! Goodness I don't know what I would do without you!! I'm confident your lucky month will be coming soon

We'll get through this! I find it really hard to hope for a bfp for myself anymore so I really appreciate the positivity that you are throwing out there.

 

[Bella12]

Puma, well put and so true.

Belle you don't need Pokémon go for exercise with all the ttc business. You must be burning lots of calories with all your marathons. Lol.

 

[BelleNuit]

Ahahaha, Bella! the marathons are great exercise for a week! But then poor DH and I don't want to look at each other again after that week is over

 

[Bella12]

Just happened to come across this. I've never heard it.

Some sort of fertility watch....it tells you when your fertile days are.

D'awwww shucks. LOL!

I had a beautiful temp jump today!!!!! I hope this means that I O'd yesterday! Maybe you were right!

 

[BelleNuit]

Ooooh certainly looks positive puma!!! Would make sense! I often get a little temp drop before O'ing too!

I also had a pretty crazy temp jump this morning. This is amongst one of the highest temps I've ever had. Not too sure what to think, but too early to get excited! :/

Well I AM EXCITED! Thats a huge spike for being this close to AF!!!! Oh man, I don't remember seeing this in your previous cycles, so I hope this is indicative of good news to come!

 

[puma1986]

I just looked at all of your previous cycle charts and YOU HAVENT had a jump like this before especially between 10 and 11DPO!

 

[BelleNuit]

AHH puma... you are making me excited! EEEPS! Usually at 11 dpo my temps are going down, so this is definitely unusual! I've had positive looking LP temps in the past that have been a big let down, so I'm trying to remain cautiously optimistic lol.

We are visiting our parents this weekend, and I've already started fantasizing about how we would tell them. Oh man, I'm letting myself get too excited over this lol

 

[greenarcher]

Are you going to test early Belle?

I love pokemon go! I'm having a blast playing with my friends. I've discovered a ton about my tiny town!

 

[puma1986]

Green! Hey lady!!! How have you been?!?!

How could you resist fantasizing about that?! That would be so incredibly exciting. If you temp remains high tomorrow or rises more - I will seriously be absolutely stoked. Why can't it be tomorrow morning already?! Hurry up dangit!

 

[BelleNuit]

Green not going to test early! AF is due Thursday, I'll just wait it out

Fingers crossed puma that tomorrows temp is high too! That would also have me seriously excited haha

I also am having fun with Pokemon go! There are so many neat little spots around my neighborhood that I never knew about!

 

[puma1986]

Pssssst!!! Wake up Belle! I'm anxious to see your temps!
