TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

[babylights]

Totally get it! Let's talk symptoms, have you had any out of the ordinary ones?? 2 more days and counting!!

 

[jmack54]

Hm, yesterday I was feeling very bloated and kinda crampy, felt like AF was coming on. Don't feel quite as much that way today... nothing too out of the ordinary!

Sunny- any news with your OPKs??

 

[babylights]

eeeks jmack, fingers crossed!!!!

sunny I'm thinking about doing smep this month too, since I can't really confirm O with temps so I'm just gonna hope for the best!

afm I feel like my headache and mood have gotten progressively better since starting af so I'm feeling encouraged that my hormones are doing what they're supposed to, on my own!!

 

[jmack54]

Yay babylights!! I think your body is going to bounce right back and be happy to be doing the right thing.

I tried SMEP one month, we got it pretty close but not exact! It seems like a good idea though and you can avoid temping which is nice. I am like a glutton for punishment with temping. I like that it is another indicator so I can't avoid it but right before AF it is like a curse!!

I'm feeling a little weird today? Kinda lightheaded and a little anxious? And my stomach feels weird and my digestion is kind of off which is weird because I've been eating really healthy....

 

[babylights]

I mean... I'm trying to contain my egggggcitement but I think I'm failing miserably ahhhhh!!! Fingers eyes toes everything crossed!!!

Don't get me wrong I'd love to temp too but with the different time zone and all, I don't think it's going to be helpful at all! it weird too, my dr. told me not to temp and just use opk's but how would you confirm that you've actually O'd without temping? So weird...

 

[SunnyBe]

Yeah that's very confusing with your temp jmack. I use two thermometers (same brand) just because I'm paranoid that the batteries will slowly die and they'll be unreliable. Usually the temp is exactly the same between two but I've had times where there was 0.3 degree difference! So when that happens, I just temp a couple of times and take the average.

I really hope AF stays away. I kinda feel that if you don't get a positive, my cycle is gonna suck too. So hang in there, for me

Still no positive OPK for me ladies! I sooo hate this. If it's anything like my previous cycles, it just means that I'll have a super short LP. It sucks!

We're picking up my family from the airport in a bit. Excited to see them but I kinda wish I was in the TWW by then. I guess we'll just have to be really quiet when we BD lol.

Are you all ready for your trip babylights? Glad to hear your hormones are settling. Getting ready for that BFP in a few weeks!

 

[jmack54]

Thanks gals!!

Sunnybe you know I will be rooting on your BFP like craaaazy this cycle no matter what happens with mine!!! It's so much easier to be positive about each other's cycles than our own!!!

I hope your LP is a little longer this time! FX FX FX

My temps tend to be all over the place so I should stop reading so much into them lol

babylights I think that is just eggggggcellent!!

 

[SunnyBe]

Ahh you're not awake yet jmack! I logged in to check if your temp stayed up FX!!

 

[jmack54]

Ah sunny you just missed me!! Thanks for checking in on me you are so sweet! Xo

Full disclosure (don't judge me) but I did have a couple drinks last night because I was so sure AF was coming. This is so gross but I can usually tell by this smell like right before AF starts and I know she's coming!

I also took a FRER last night and it was stark white BFN.

Anyway she isn't here yet, but temp is still up! Hopefully it wasn't affected too much by drinking but I've temped after having a couple drinks before and it doesn't seem to change it that dramatically. So let's hope that's a good sign!

But I do still feel like AF is coming so who knows!!! Ah!!

 

[SunnyBe]

OMG your chart looks insane jmack!!!! I so hope you're wrong about AF. Otherwise I'm losing all hope in taking temperature.

I highly doubt that a couple of drinks can hurt the fetus at this stage. I'm not even sure if it's technically possible yet, so I wouldn't worry. Yes it could influence your temperature but if you've noticed that it hasn't done much in the past, it's probably negligible for you.

Keeping everything crossed!

I just did an OPK and it was positive I'll test again at night just to confirm, but I think tomorrow will be O-day.

 

[babylights]

ahhh so much good news today!! jmack seriously if that temp isn't something we should all throw out our thermometers! A couple drinks is nothing, don't even sweat it girl!

sunny yay for a positive opk! How has it been so far with having your fam over?? I hope you're having the best time!!

 

[jmack54]

Yayyyy!!! Positive OPK!! Have fun BD'ing!! I am crossing my fingers for you to implant and have a nice long LP this cycle!!

I know my chart looks crazy. I have a drink or two here or there pretty regularly and don't ever note it because it always seems about right for my cycle and the temps seem pretty accurate.

Thanks for the reassurance about drinking. I texted my friend who just found out she was pregnant and she said her doctor said not to worry about it before you've even confirmed you're pregnant so I think it's fine.

So I'm kind of excited about my temp jump today!! Don't feel AF coming today like I have the past two days. But my stark white BFN yesterday has me a little discouraged.

AF should start tomorrow or Monday at the latest.

 

[jmack54]

Oh yeah sunny I forgot you have your family there!!! Haha have fun sneaky and quiet BD'ing!!

Hi babylights!!! Ah!!! Just saw your post. Crazy temp spike right?? Are you guys starting to pack?! take meeee!!

 

[babylights]

That temp spike is epic!!! And it looks like that's the highest temp you've had in recent months. Ooooooh I am soooo eggcited for you! Im trying to calm down but I can't help it!! Continuing to keep everything crossed!! Oh and don't let the bfn get you down, that really means nothing except it was too early. One day nothing, next day B F P!!

I think I'm more looking forward to your bfp than I am to our trip lol! We've started...to think about...starting to pack haha! Such procrastinators. Gotta pack super light though so we're not lugging a huge suitcase around. You're coming with, what time will you be here??

 

[jmack54]

lol I'll just meet you on the flight!! Hopefully I won't be able to make it because I have a BFP we are celebrating wink wink! Haha you are so cute being so eggcited for me!! You girls are seriously the best.

Yeah I actually don't recall ever reading a 98 degree temp on my thermometer so I was pretty shocked this morning!!! And especially on 11 DPO. My temps have always dropped by 11 DPO.

 

[jmack54]

Ah I am sooo impatient waiting to see that happens over the next couple days if I get AF or not!!!

 

[babylights]

I know!!! I feel like I'm trying to make the days go by and waking up to see your updates haha!!

 

[jmack54]

lol you are the best TWW partner!! Can't wait to see if my temp is still up tomorrow!

 

[AmberR]

Sorry ladies I've been MIA lately... Jmack- that temp jump looks promising!!
Sunnybe- yay for + OPK.
Babylights- do you know when you usually O?
AF got me again. Onto cycle #8 /:

 

[SunnyBe]
