AFM, I am in my "2WW" until my next scan (july 1st) and then we will be telling people. DH CANT wait to spread the word... he excited.
Aw how exciting!!! I know I've told you before but congrats
It's so exciting to finally get to that stage in the pregnancy where you feel a little more "safe" and are free to spread the news. You get to relive all the excitement you felt when you first got that BFP basically lol.
Has anyone else had a chemical? My period is 4 days early this month, this is the first month after.... Kinda weird.
Only thing i never did was basal temps, do yall should think i should start doing this? The reason why i didnt is because ive heard its tricky and hard lol
I had one in August 2011 and then technically had another this month/last cycle. I miscarried before 5 weeks so I believe that's considered a chemical. However, I can't really answer that because I counted the day I started bleeding/miscarrying as day 1 of my cycle and TTC right away. I didn't wait for my period to show up again the following month to see if it returned like normal or not. I got pregnant right away - ovulating 2 weeks after the bleeding started from my chemical. This time around, going for the same thing. My bleeding/chemical started on June 6th so I counted that as cycle day 1 and am expecting to ovulate in the next couple of days. Sorry I wasn't much help there.
I'm on my 2nd cycle of temping. I started sometime in April after having my Implanon removed but I don't think I ovulated until I got my first AF in May so it really didn't do anything but get me in the habit of temping daily. I don't really find it hard to do. I set my alarm for 7am every morning (on the days I open at work, that's when I wake up anyway so it's convenient for me) and keep my thermometer next to my bed. It has a memory in the thermometer so I don't have to jot down the temp right away - I can go back to bed and check what it was when I wake up. I temp orally because I'm lazy/it's easy but it can give you more erratic temps making it harder to really analyze them but it's been pretty accurate for me regardless. The only thing that I think is hard is making sure you get at least 3 hours of sleep before taking your temp. I have nights where I toss & turn all night so I don't really get a solid 3 hours before my alarm is set to go off so sometimes I have to take my temp earlier or several hours later than I normally do making it not entirely accurate but again... it's not really been a huge issue in determining O or pregnancy for me so far.
Good luck!
Waves, how are you doing?
Thanks for asking
Doing alright over here... in my "fertile period" and expect to O tomorrow (Wednesday) or Thursday but we'll see. I'm only temping and going off CM/O-pains so we'll see what happens. We BD last night. I figure we'll just BD every night until the end of the week just to be safe. I know you can get away with doing it every other night but I tend to turn OH down a lot when we're not TTC so I'll let him get in as much as possible.
It's so weird - ever since my last pregnancy, I've just not had any interest in sex at all. Not just with OH but even if Ryan Gosling (my celeb crush) were ready & willing I would totally turn him down too lol. I've just lost all my sex drive and OH hates it. We thought it was my Implanon causing it because it's a common side effect but even now that it's gone, so is my sex drive. So anyway... I figure every night this week will be our "method." Depending on how I feel, we may skip a night or two here or there but we'll see.
I had a big temp dip this morning but I didn't toss & turn like I usually do when I get a dip like that. I don't recall sleeping with my mouth open so who knows. I really only have 1 cycle to compare it to and those temps were all over the place but is it a common thing to have a temp dip before ovulation? What's the deal with that?
I'm also ridiculously bloated today but I think that's more of a constipation issue than anything. It's kinda funny though because a friend/co-worker came up to work today and we were standing around talking and I just happened to rest my hand on my belly/bloat and I caught her looking. The day after I went to the ER for my miscarriage, I had to work 8-4:30 and I was just physically miserable and made a public post on Twitter/Instagram about being stuck at work while miscarrying because I was so angry/frustrated/miserable so it's not really a secret anymore. I'm pretty sure my family are the only ones who don't know. Anyway... over the weekend this friend read the post and text me to talk about it and ask if I was okay. So I thought it was kinda funny to see her steal a glance at me resting my hand on my bloat.
In other news, one of my friends is going on 2 days of early labor and should be delivering soon. I also got word that my cousin (she's a year younger than me) had her membranes stripped yesterday, lost part of her mucus plug today and thinks her water is leaking so they think she'll be admitted/induced tonight as well. I didn't think she was due until July so I'm not sure why her membranes were stripped but regardless... two people in my life are about to pop out babies and I'm insanely jealous.
But well figure it out. Being able to work from home and hoping the baby does a lot of sleeping, I should hopefully be able to figure something out. Ill just need to make sure I leave enough work for me to do from home.
on 8/3) so maybe July is my lucky month! I had a prediction done by Skye and she predicted a July cycle bfp for me, so we will see!
And ym temps don't really go down completely till like day 2 of AF.
