Would it be a bad thing to run a cycle or two without temping?
No waking up at 6:30 every morning and temping, I get to just sleep.... and just pay attention to CM and that stuff...
I mean, I know I need more than just 2 cycles where everything is spot on, to know for certain if thats where my cycles have settled, but at the same time, I'm wanting to relax about this...
It seems maybe stressing out over whether or not its going to happen isn't going to help it happen. I need to just, have the sex! Do the baby dance, let DP do his thing and not freak out about perfect days, and windows and blah blah blah...

 

[MyTurnYet]

IMO, I say go for it and relax on the temping, but please keep in mind the source of this advice. I tried temping and managed to chart a whole...1 DAY! And that was 2 months ago. Gave up and purchased the CBFM.

Sometimes I envy people and their detailed FF charts, though...

 

[Moondance]

I'm not entirely sure what a CBFM is?


ETA:
I made with the craziness whilst bored.... made my little animation for my banner from images I found on the web. I was going to use one of a girl peeing on a stick, right before the stick says "Oh! Yuk" and pulls a face, but damn its hard to find a picture online of a girl on a toilet peeing on a stick!

 

[wantingagirl]

Oh I agree with myturnyet I envy them lovely charts I was so pathetic at charting. I also have a CBFM, its a Clearblue Fertility Monitor detects your low, high and peak days so you know the best days. Im wondering if EPO has delayed my Ovulation im currently day 16 and still not hit a peak yet just ditched the EPO as been giving me really bad headaches

[CelticNiamh]

some months I've felt like I've inserted so much sperm that I might make squishy sounds when walking around!

I do wonder the same myself

Nice one Jaimie!

 

[Moondance]

So much missing my sweety....

All the boys want me to come out and get chit-faced with em, but I don't like drinking anymore... I get silly when I'm drunk and end up glomming like a leech onto a boy called Lachie, and its pathetic, specially when I have a sweety already.
Wish AF would go the heck away already... I don't want her to come anymore.

Feeling a bit emotional right now.

 

[CelticNiamh]

WOW we are really taking off we need to give Tankit a heads up and Neilix I think

Moondance lovely story on how you met, you know sometimes you meet some one and you know and you go for it, it can happen really quick with in 3 months for some people. so that never bothers me at all

I am with my DH 13 years this year, we met when he came out with mutual friends it was my birthday and my friend dragged me on the dancefloor to get me away from an x while I was dancing (you know those guys who try it on with every girl hoping they get lucky) swung out of me and I dropped my purse well DH came over to help me and he was trying to stop me reaching down Un knows to me some one broke glass! well I got some in my finger he took it out kissed my finger and I kept a hold of his hand I remember thinking Im not letting go of this one LOL (Honeybee he had a girlfriend as well whom he was breaking up with, guess I was the straw that broke the camel back LOL)it wasn't long term and they went out separately at weekends so it would have ended any way I reckon!

Tryfor that so sweet

Honeybee enjoy the ruby! witch better not show her face around here, we will kick her ass grrrr !! I'm good

wantingagirl I hope you enjoyed that wine hun, you know we have deprived our selfs and behaved so well TCC so now its a more relaxed attempt!!! fun, fun, fun is the order of the day!

[soph77]

Thanks for the invite honey!!

I am living the life of tthf as we speak - very much enjoying drinking vodka mudshakes. May as well be drinking chocolate milk for all the vodka that is in them! Come to think of it I would probably save a heap of money if I just bought a big bottle of chocolate milk!

This group is a great idea, I am glad I get to be a part of it. I really like getting to know people and building friendships And I especially like that there is a few of us down under!!! I love you guys!!!
*hiccup* (getting all mushy) think I need to slow down on the vodkas...

Love hearing the love stories, all so very sweet. Love comes in so many shapes and sizes, there is no rights or wrongs. If it is, it is.

I met dh on rsvp (internet dating site) after my brother who I was living with at the time got me on. Kai was 3 at the time and I had been single since Kai's father left me 3 months pregnant.
Anyway, I was getting heaps of 'kisses' on rsvp but most of them were from very old men or very young boys. One day I was going through the kisses and politely rejecting them all when I almost rejected his. I was about to hit the your a loser button when I noticed that his screen name was jaisdad and I thought, what a coincidence - kai rhymes with jai!
I reciprocated his 'kiss' and received an email from him. I was surprised that this guy could actually spell and punctuate his perfectly formed sentences!!! And he was interesting!!
We emailed for a month and finally met at dreamworld for our first date with the boys and the rest is history!
We moved in together after 1 year. He proposed 2 1/2 years later on my 30th birthday. He took me to Sydney (was a surprise, had no idea where we were going until we got to the airport) and while down there hired a motorbike and rode up the coast to Palm Beach where they film 'Home and Away' - apologies if you don't know the show, but I love the show! and he proposed to me at the 'Summer Bay Surf Club'. It was a total surprise because he has drilled it into me that the trip was my present so I should not expect anything else!
Very romantic because every time we watch the show we can see the spot where he proposed! We call it 'passion point' haha

Fast forward a bit and we got married last january in Thailand. We took the kids for a holiday first. Into Bangkok for a few days then across land into Cambodia for 2 weeks. We went to Siem Reap, Phnom Pehn, Sihanoukville then back to Thailand where we went to Koh Samui and were met by our family for the wedding. After we sent the kids home with our family and had a 1 week honeymoon.

Oh my god I am babbling sooooooooo much - it's the vodka!!!! Blame it on the vodka!

I llove my husband soooo much. he is the best husband ever - he is a complete idiot, historically funny, super intelligent and sweet, caring and romantic.

I need to shut up now.

 

[soph77]

I just reread my post - meant to say that I love ALL of you ladies and not just my fellow Aussies and New Zealanders. Just to clarify.

 

[LuckyD]

Aw Soph, that's a lovely story! I can't believe you two have sons called Jai and Kai...that's a crazy coincidence! Yet if you didn't, maybe you would have rejected him on RSVP and not given him a chance....

what is a vodka mudshake? They sound delicious!

Ok, repeating the TTHF mantra to myself today...managed to have a 'fun' BD this afternoon...I won't go into details!

hope you enjoy the rugby Honeybee!

 

[soph77]

And there are more coincidences too. We both went to the same high school although 7 years apart. He ended up teaching at the other high school I went to. We grew up in the suburbs next to each other. In the two years before we met we lived around the corner from each other and frequented the same corner shop - never met.

One thing is for sure, there is no way our baby is going to have another rhyming name!
We actually used to live next to a dog called Ty. Now that was confusing!

 

[Tanikit]

Hi everyone again - I like this thread (but only read 2/3 of it since I seem to be a bit late here) Thanks Celtic for inviting me.

I ordered some things off the internet a while back and have been excited for them to arrive (not related to ttc) but they got stuck with the volcano so should be here a bit late - will hopefully keep me distracted from ttc at least til the end of the 2ww.

Soph your holiday sounds great.

 

[MyTurnYet]

Oh Soph, I love that story! How romantic!

 

[Annamumof2]

oh my i really need to keep up with the posts lol

 

[wantingagirl]

Yup Niamh thats what I plan to do. Im going to have fun trying but I dont even think Im going to Ovulate this month first time ever. Some crazy things are happening to me was getting the pains days ago and ewcm yesterday and day before and thought oh Im OV and still on a high day no peak yet and will be cycle day 17 tomorrow never this late and about 4/5 days ago had some spotting which I never get before even started using softcups then after using a softcup when I took it out more blood in that but non when took another one out this morning.

Thanks Girls!

Hiya Tanikit hope you are doing well!!!

 

[CelticNiamh]

wantingagirl now that what I call a wreck the head cycle!!! how long were you taking EPO for, thankfully my headaches went as well so I'm still on it! haven't started MACA yet though! hoping the B complex helps me ovulate on CD 14 to 15 and not so late and my LP is more normal regardless of out come of this cycle !

soph77 that is a lovely story! faith I think you were meant to be! what a mixture we are from all over the world. I lived in Australia and my DD was born while I was there. great country

Tankit Howdy glad you found us

LuckyD whoo hoo Im hoping I have a nice fun filled evening when we can have some nice drinks to unwind with later and a filim to watch!

I seemed to have pulled muscles in my neck, its so sore I can barely move, I took some pain killers nice safe ones they did help, but DH feeling sorry for me got Nourfen plus and I'm scared to take them, I read they can damage the egg as it ripens so not taking them I rather the pain which leads me to this brill site I found and will be very useful to us all very soon

[tryforbaby2]

LuckyD, your love story sounds like you guys have had soooo much fun and got to see alot of wonderful things together! Butterfly Valley sounds superb!!! Ahhhh
Soph, Hi!! Im so happy to see you here! I missed our orginal girlies!! :wave: Are the vodka mudhsakes what us american's call mudslides? And yes, your love story sounds very much like fate to me. How romantic you ladies are.
Shona, that is crazy how they said that about your IVF because his son was living with you both! Thats crazy and not fair. It makes me think of Octomom. We pay out of pocket for health insurance (private insurance) and then pay out of pocket for our Reproductive Endorcrinologist (fertility specialist) and that woman who was on government assistance who was also a particpating member of government MEDICAL assistance as well, has her 8 babies and the prior 6 done at taxpayers cost. That bugs me terribly, especially considering we have to pay out of pocket for ours!
I hope that won't be an option for us. I think my waiting list down here for IVF is a few years anyhow. Don't know how I'd feel about waiting that much longer.
Niamh, I hope you feel better, sounds like a pain in the neck! (sorry for the bad puns!!! Moondance's DP's puns have rubbed off on me!!! )
But seriously, feel better and RELAX!
Honeybee, have fun in the sun today!!! (oooh now I am ryhming!)

I am so happy for this thread. To chat with the girls whom we have became good friends with, and introducing fun back into ttc and taking out obsessing. I love it!

Tanikit, myturnyet :wave:
