Ttc #2

[fxmummyduck]

Looks like I'm in the tww now! Not sure if I Od sat or sun though. Sat was the day of my +opk so I'm hoping it was Sunday as we bd then but hadn't done it before that

 

[StephyB]

I use FF but I'm not great at taking it at the same time, as you can see by my chart it's a bit all over the place, but I can still see that I've ovulated - which is what I need to know, as I didn't think I was!

Awesome!! we are both 5dpo!!

Are you having any symptoms?

 

[MiBabyHopes]

i've been reading about the o spotting and no one is quite sure if it happens before, during, or after o so just gonna keep bding until i know i o'd on ff, which may be tomorrow as i had two high temps the last two mornings. i hope it sky rockets tomorrow morning so i can be done with the trying and move on to the tww and not have to worry about bding and just do it for fun again!

Hi Ladies,

I hope you don't mind me joining your thread relatively late but could really do with some TTC#2 pals!!

Me and hubby have been NTNP for 19months but enough is enough! My DD is now 4 years old and starts school in September so I have decided number 2 needs to be in the bag soon lol.

I either had an early MC or a CP in February (Dr was unsure) but have not really been monitoring AF or temp. When TTC#1 it took us exactly 1 year and I was using CBFM so I have now bought another one and plan to start using it next cycle unless my BFP comes before that!
I've never temped before...what do I need to do?

Any suggestions you ladies have to help with #2 please feel free to send them my way!

Are you ladies that are using fertility friend taking your temps at the same time each day?

StephyB- I know that a lot of the temping "rules" say that you need to take it at the same time each day for it to be accurate, but from the LTTTCer's they say that (and some experts) that it is more important that you are getting the same amount of sleep each time you temp and that the environment you are sleeping in is similar, as in temperature of the room. It is also said that taking your temp vaginally is more accurate then doing it orally, bc your temp can be effected by sleeping with your mouth open, drooling, the room temp is more imp. when taking your temp orally, bc it's more easily effected if the room temp changes. I just make sure I am getting about the same amt of sleep, totally don't pay attention to making sure it's taken at the same time, and I take it vaginally as it is more accurate and less likely to be effected by outside factors.

fxmommyduck- Have you considered adding in Softcups to your arsenal? I am using them and have heard that a lot of ladies have gotten their BFP the month they added them in, as it helps to keep more swimmers up there close to your cervix and for a way longer amount of time then they would be if you weren't using them. I've also heard of a lot of ladies getting their BFP the month that they only BD'd one time close to their O day, so sending you lots of baby dust and congrats on making it to the TWW. I'll be right behind you, just waiting on FF to confirm I've O'd and trying to get in some more BDing before that happens. But it's predicted for today, so we will see in a few day's when those crosshairs appear on my chart

miBabyHopes- I totally feel ya, this has been a stressful cycle for me when it comes to Oing and Bd timing. Hub's has decided to get mad at me on (of the weeks) my fertile week, and is withholding sex as a punishment!!!! I could just kill him. We did manage to BD this morning and the day before yesterday though. I'm CD16 and got my first Peak fertility on my monitor yesterday. FF is saying I should O today. I've been having a lot of lower back pain today, so I'm thinking it might be right. Hope that we timed our BDing well.

Wills- Welcome to the Group! It's never to late to join in and I know I"m excited to have you as I've been having an incredibly hard time finding ladies that are also using the CBFM to track their cycle, so needless to say, I'm super excited you are joining us! First of all I would suggest that you go to www.fertilityfriend.com and join the charting app. It will let you keep track of everything and anything that has to do with your fertility. If you ^ look up to what I was saying to StephyB, I explained a little bit about temping, but fertility friend has some great articles, podcasts, and video's available on it, letting you know how to do everything. YouTube is also a great took to use when ever you are unsure about something, there are tons of TTCing video's on there. You can start now with the temping with a regular digital thermometer, until you can get a Basal Body Thermometer, which is just a more accurate therm. that reads two points past the decimal instead of just one, but for now, just one is just fine. Read on fertility friend about temping, listen to the podcasts on temping, and watch some video's on temping on Youtube and you will be fully prepared to take it on I know a lot of Ladies take their temps orally, but I do mine vaginally as they are more accurate and less prone to environmental factors mucking up your readings. But that's totally a personal preference. The sooner you start temping the better. And you want to make sure to keep your therm. within arms reach so you don't really have to move to get upon waking, try not to move at all, take your temp, record it. You want to take it before you sit up or do anything at all. But that's about it. Also, you need to have slept for at least a solid 3/4 hr block for it to be accurate.

As for me, I am starting to not "freak out" as much about my O and not BDing enough. Hub's decided to withhold sex as a "punishment' this week (of all the weeks!!! you have to get mad on my fertile WEEK!!!! Ahhhh! ) So when I got a + wondfo on CD 13, I was freaking out bc he wasn't having it and was straight out refusing to BD. Well CD 14's wondfo's was much, much darker then the day's previous, so I calmed down a bit bc I realized that CD13 wasn't a true +. I still was only getting Highs on my monitor, though and my temps were still staying low. But I was still freaking out that we would miss my O bc he's acting like an a**hole. Well, yesterday, CD15 my monitor FINALLY gave me a Peak and we had BD'd the previous morning. We also Bd'd today at about 12pm. I used a softcup each time as well, which makes me feel better, as I feel like it helps increase the odd's of a good sperm making it in there to fertilize my egg. FF is predicting that I should O today, which I have been having a lot of lower back pain today and general cramps off and on in the front, not really on one side or the other, I've also noticed breasts tenderness in the past couple days today included. Does anyone else have symptoms like this when they O? I'm thinking that I'm either Oing today, or will tom. but I'm going to try to BD tonight and tom just in case What do you ladies think about my chart/symptoms/predicament?

Welcome Wills!

I don't think people care when others join a thread, we just like that people want to join! Sorry to hear about possible mc/cp. As for the whole temping thing i agree with Amber go to fertility friend, they have tons of info on charting and temping and cervical mucus and cervical position and many more things to help those ttc.

 

[MiBabyHopes]

Amber - sorry to hear your hubby is doing that to you<-- that's him realizing he turned down bding fun, but i'm glad that at least it wasn't for too long and the opk gave you a peak reading when he wasn't being all stinky poo to you.

 

[fxmummyduck]

Amber it sounds like you managed some good bd timing! And your O symptoms sound good too...although after my body completely tricked me this month I'm not trusting my symptoms anymore!!!

I thought about softcups but after having my lo I've not been able to use my mooncup, it's really painful. Maybe I have some scar tissue...I did have stitches internally???

Mibaby hope your temp spikes and you can confirm O. Hopefully then you can join me in the tww!

Wills welcome to the thread! Sorry to hear you had a mc/cp. I haven't used the cbfm but hope it helps you!

Pink where are you cycle wise at the moment?

Stephyb how are you doing?

Afm. Trying not to symptom spot already haha!! But also having a feeling like we just didn't do enough this month &#128542;

 

[pink80]

I'm 6dpo

 

[MiBabyHopes]

still no cross hairs and not sure if i o'd yet even tho my cm was fertile, i usually have temps in the close to or at 98 when i'm in the tww, 97.66 this am and it's got me wondering if i o'd when i thought, oh well i'll keep bding i guess. it's still so frustrating not knowing if i o'd, it's almost as bad as the tww.

 

[fxmummyduck]

I'm 6dpo

I'm 4dpo so just behind you! The wait is already SO hard! And the symptom spotting, oh dear! I keep poking my bbs to see if they hurt, I think they now hurt from all the poking!!

My fertile cm (when I'm not having a wonky cycle like this one) usually dries up immediately the day after O. Very frustrating when you don't know!! Hope you can figure it out soon.
