TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

Hmmm.. Read the following on FF

Temperatures can also fluctuate a great deal when you are not ovulating, or when you have delayed ovulation. If you are taking your temperatures accurately and are still having large temperature fluctuations and no clear ovulation pattern, then this might be the case.

Sla545- as for implantation, for ds and this pregnancy I had an implantation dip at 5dpo. So it can happen early I think. You have to remember that whenever we use stats like that, it's generally the average, so we tend to forget about natural variation.
You mention going pee in the mornings, do you temp before you go pee? You shouldn't go pee, at least four hours before a temp is taken. Also drinking at night can alter your temperature. I know I wake regularly at night and I have a cup beside my bed that I drink from.
I think vaginal temping might be more accurate, but it honestly sounds like you are doing everything right.

holly, did you conceive this cycle at O-2?

Ive been really good about taking my temp prior to doing anything. I just reach over and grab my BBT on the nightstand. I think I will just have to wait and see what happens this cycle and temp vaginally next if I dont have a BFP. I dont think I am going to test either this cycle as I dont want to waste tests if I cant even confirm that I ovulated!

 

[HollySSmith]

Lol what does O-2 mean? I O'd 1 day early this time so cd14, when normally its cd15.

 

[HollySSmith]

Sla545- I figured that was the case, you seem pretty on the ball. Where you on BCP? If so how long ago?

 

[sla545]

I think she means did you BD only two days before O or did you BD closer to O?

I was on Depo for almost 5 years prior to having my last shot July 2011. AF showed for the first cycle 5/18/12 after *patiently* waiting for her to arrive all year

 

[runnergrl]

haha! yes! it means you conceived 2 days befor ovulation.. I think thats when you Bd'ed... I forget

 

[HollySSmith]

Ahhh lol sorry I just started diclectin and I feel very stoned lol. Well we planned to DTD two days before but then I ovulated a day early. So we ended up doing it on the two days leading up to ovulation, as well as the day after.

 

[runnergrl]

thanks! That makes me feel better

 

[HollySSmith]

Remember sperm can live 5-7 days, and it only takes one

 

[HollySSmith]

Sla545- it could be from depo then. I used to be on it but got off because it caused some bone density issues for me. But that was well before we were TTC. It may take little while for ovulation to come back, and think many women struggle with it

I know. I was so excited that AF came back on her own, because I had literally gotten a script for Provera the same day. After Cycle 1 was a normal 27 days, I just assumed things were back to normal and I had messed up temping for cycle 1 and that's why FF didnt confirm O, but now that I am having these issues with Cycle 2, the thought that the Depo is still messing things up is starting to creep back in.

 

[HollySSmith]

Yeah, ive heard some pretty nasty things regarding depo but if you got AF I think you are working it out of your system (depo is stored in fatty tissue) so its likely that if you aren't ovulating, you should be soon.

I didnt know it was stored in fatty tissue. I may have to actively make an effort to lose weight again. I gained tons of weight when my thyroid was killing me (about 60 lbs) and I was already like 50lbs overweight from gaining with DS and never losing it. I lost 40 lbs without doing anything once my Thyroid levels were able to get under control, but I have plateaued now that my levels are somewhat stable. I still need to lose about 70lbs. If I do get pregnant, I am going to make every effort to gain as little as possible since I dont need to gain anything, and then lose it for good after baby #2!

 

[HollySSmith]

I think because depo lasts for three months, you have a high dosage that stores in fatty tissue, the. Is metabolized over time. Like most things, the rate at which it's metabolized varies from person to person. It has nothing to do with how big or small you are, but rather how fast your body can metabolize things. I think the average is a year to be normal after depo, so your really not far off that right now.

Morning ladies! BDing going well this month, difference being we're on hols from work and can just relax and take our time to enjoy each other. Tips to get the juices flowing, bath together, candles & nice music & lots & lots of foreplay. Of course you may all be doing similar already but I Defo know that when ttc little things like this become pushed to the side and just focus on dtd. The preseed has helped also & feels much more comfy even with agonizing ovary ache. Hope this helps!

Well I'm extremely depressed. my temp has not risen yet and I was just 100% certain that I ovulated yesterday. I guess I'm having an anovulatory (sp?) cycle!?! Who knows. If that's the case, I really wish I hadn't gotten two positive OPK's on cd13 and14. I'm out for sure

It could still continue to go up again tomorrow and the mext day. Ive been learning so much about thermal shifts, and ive read it is not uncommon fot it to go up slowly forr a fouple of days rather than a sharp rise. Ive also read that some times you can have a delayed rise a few days after O. Dont count yourself out yet!
