Well temp sky rocketed today so I'm pretty sure it's O day and I should be able to BD later today cause OH will be home! Woo!

I thought O happened on the day your temp dipped? And then 1 DPO was the high temp rise.

I think it can happen both, FF usually gives me crosshairs on my first high temp day? And sometimes my day before high temp...

Ohh that is good to know!! I bought Zestica today, which is the Canadian equivalent to Pre-Seed so I am hoping that will help us out too. Super expensive though, $36 for a 20ml bottle the size of a tampon...

Mrs. Burch, have you been tested for PCOS?

I think for me it usually dips then the next day or two after the dip, not necessarily the spike, I usually get the "spike" and that is 1dpo.

Liz no I called the OB last week and they told me that if I don't have a BFP by March then they want me to come in and run some tests and the nurse that I talked to said she thinks that may be what it is. IDK but it is really frustrating.

Perse- I bought the Pre-seed for this month too! I bought mine at good ol Wal-Mart and it was $20 for 40g (1.4 OZ) which is a small tube! We have used it twice and Dh doesn't seem to mind it! I didn't mind it either really just don't use too much or it gets messy. I didn't use the applicators I just used my finer. sorry if tmi

 

[lizlovelust]

Well either way if we BD tonight we should catch the egg, weather it's O day or 1DPO, cause you can catch egg at 1DPO! So I hope we catch it!

Hope you lovely ladies are having a wonderful morning.

By the time my temp spikes my egg is long dead. I can feel the follicle rupturing and get a bit of blood. By temp rise my cervix is already closed and my cm infertile. It takes about 6-12 hrs from the follicle rupture pain until my Lh surge on a stick. I asked my dr about this because it seemed backwards and she informed me that was correct. LH spikes in blood first and you then ovulate, it takes a bit of time for the hormone to reach your urine. So it is typical to feel O a bit before your opk turns positive. Fertility friend is sometimes dumb though and places my ovulation date on temp rise. I just override it when it does that.

I only tell you this because I worry that some people always wait until temp rise to have sex. It hurts your chances soooo much, and makes it impossible for most ladies. There may be a few lucky ones. I don't want you to find out months from now that only having sex on temp rise doesn't work for you. That would be heartbreaking and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. If DH were out of town before today that sucks and I am so sorry. I believe O-1 is statistically the best day for nookie.

I hope that doesn't come across as mean or harsh. I just want us all to be successful and get our take home babies. I am on my second year of trying for mine.

What to Look for in Prenatal Vitamins

Look for a prenatal vitamin that includes:***

400*micrograms (mcg) of folic acid.400 IU of vitamin D.200 to 300 milligrams (mg) ofcalcium.70 mg of vitamin C.3 mg of thiamine.2 mg of riboflavin.20 mg of niacin.6 mcg of vitamin B12.10 mg of vitamin E.15 mg of zinc.17 mg of iron.
I look for a min of 1000mcg of folic acid but these are the minimum you should look for. Folic acid, iron and calcium are most important.

thanks for that, now I know what to look for in vitamins. I had a question. FF didn't give me my crosshairs, how come they didn't? My chart is in my signature. I had 3 higher temps after my dip, but it's not giving me anything.

 

[youngmommy26]

Liz-thank you so much!

ReadynWaiting, thanks a lot. how much folic acid and iron needs to be taken while TTC? I am anemic and had to take iron supplements when I was pregnant with DS, but they made me so sick, I have a sensitivity to it. Will the amount in a multi vitamin make me sick like that?

Young-I ALWAYS have to eat something or drink a whole glass of milk when I take my vitamins or it makes me throw up!

hmm a glass of milk, that sounds like a good idea! I heard that Soy Milk helps with conception, is that true?

 

[lizlovelust]

I don't wait until temp rise to BD, I just can't BD until today cause OHs been out of town. But I have asked my doctor and said that the egg usually lives 24-36 hours after it releases. So usually you have a day or two after it's released to get it fertilized!

Whew, ok we'll tell DH to travel safely. Great luck bedding tonight!

I bet if you have another higher temp tomorrow that it will put it on cd15 as your O day!

Liz-thank you so much!

YES it does! Soy Milk will make you regular. I just drink skim milk though cause I do not like the soy milk. I know people that love it but I just don't. I really don't even like milk but I buy like a chocolate powder to put in it for my breakfast and I can drink it now, actually now I kind of like it and can drink it for more then just breakfast.

oh ok. I will try drinking milk with my vitamins. Someone just told me because I had a really high temp of like 97.9 before my dip, there saying that FF won't give me my crosshairs until I get a temp of over 97.9 for 3 days? I remember that day, I woke up way early because I was really hot and sweating and had to use the adjuster. I'm hoping that one really high temp didn't mess up my chart for this month.

 

[Mrs. Burch]

I don't know about that I think you O'd on cd 15!

 

[youngmommy26]

ok on CD 10 I am remembering now, that was the day I got the 97.98 temp. I was tossing and turning that nigh all night, I couldn't get comfortable and I was really really hot. I don't think I slept a continuous 3 hours that whole night. so i'm thinking maybe that is why it was so high, because none of my other temps were that high, so I went into FF and just adjusted the temp a little bit to roughly around what my other temps have been and it gave me my crosshairs. it says I ovulated on CD15 which I was 100% positive I did on CD15. do you think the chart looks good now? I believe that one temp screwed up everything on my chart this month.

[youngmommy26]

sorry for dbl posting! but I think you are right!

 

[Mrs. Burch]

I think that is it!! fx that you get your bfp!! When will you test?

 

[youngmommy26]

I think that is it!! fx that you get your bfp!! When will you test?

well I just got my huge package of wondfo's so I figured I would start testing around 11DPO? and I have one FRER i'm going to use when I get closer to AF. I really hope i get my it's been almost 2 years of this, I really really want it so much. what day do you think I should test? also I can't believe how noticable my dip was, I have looked at a lot of women's charts and a lot of women don't get a massive dip like I got, it was pretty much unmistakable. it was crazy looking. I don't know though, is a huge dip like that common?

 

[Mrs. Burch]

I hope you get your BFP too! I usually start testing at 11dpo too! I usually have some what of a dip, not always drastic. I think that is great it is easier to see your O when you have a bigger dip!

 

[Wishing_]

Good luck everyone!

Wishing what did your dr say?
Ready how was your first day back?
