Wishing for a Christmas baby

[caro103]

Reedsgirl, glad you have some options huni!

Think we're gonna have a more relaxed month this month too, TTC is stressing me out already and I'm not normally someone whos lets things get on top of me! :S

xx

 

[HippyMumma23]

I will be similar reedsgirl, Im not doing that cups thing, Im not doing OPK's or temping. Im not even going to try and bd at the right time Im just going to BD when we want, life is going to be very, very hectic for the next 4 months, so TTC for me, is actually at the back of my mind for now. So Im good with it taking a fewmonths.

That option for you sounds good though. How long have you been trying for since your tube reversal?

 

[kissyfacelala]

Ok ladies! I am confused! I am CD31 and 10DPO and temp has been somewhat high and then today it went down to 36.0!! never been this low in my luteal phase. I have some wierd sensations in my lower tummy and last night it was tender and slightly painful to touch! could this be implantation???? I attached my chart for this month. I think I ovulated CD21.

any insight???

 

[cheekybint]

hey up Kissy

how long are your cycles usually? and do you take your temp at the same time each morning?

The reason I ask is because to me it doesn't look like you've ovulated yet. I could be wrong as I'm only viewing this on my phone, but it doesn't look like you've had a significant thermal shift yet.

I hope I'm wrong and someone else might have a better idea, I'll have another look when I get home and can view your chart on the pc, that won't be for a few hours yet tho

 

[caro103]

Hi Kissy, really sorry but I'm inclined to agreed with cb, really hope i'm wrong but i'd keep up the bd if I were you just incase it suddenly jumps!
How long are your cycles normally? xx

 

[kissyfacelala]

thanks ladies!

i also have been thinking that I have not ovulated this month...but what i am feeling is different from my ovulation cramps and I did get a postive OPK on CD20

but just in case there will be this weekend

and never give up hope even when AF shows!!! still a week before i can test

my cycles for the last three have been 31, 32 and 36 days, with 15 days luteal phase each time!

i only have data for the last three cycles and this current one at CD31!

 

[kissyfacelala]

oh forgot to mention that I do take my temp each day at 7:30 am

this cycle has just been different....not able to say for certain anything happened....I usually have a definite temperature shift

uggh! i really hope this is not the beginning of anovulatory cycles

i did have irregular periods for years before going on BCPs!

I started ttc right away. I had my reversal done on April 30th and had just finished my cycle and started in May so it has not quite been a year. I do feel like I am kinda rushing cause I know that it takes a "normal" couple up to a year to conceive but I am "mildly" bipolar and the longer I am off my meds the more I stress about things and my aniexty level gets out of control. So I am going to either have to get pregnant soon or go back on my meds for a while to "relax" my symptoms out LOL. HOpe noone thinks I am crazy now. I am hoping that with spring coming that I will be super busy and won't have time to worry about it all and my hormones will level out. I do have a consultation appt on April 20 to see about starting IUI. BUt FX that I get a BFP before then.

FX for all of us to get a "Christmas Miracle"...maybe that should be the new name of the thread..."I will get a BFP in March and will be getting a Christmas Miracle"???

 

[cheekybint]

ReedsG, don't worry I am in a similar situation, already concerning myself about postnatel depression before i'm even pregnant. :S

Hey Kissy, I've finally managed to look at your chart on a pc, and i'm really sorry but i'm pretty sure you haven't ovulated this cycle, yet Maybe your dip is an indication that you're ovulating and your temp may be up tomorrow?

See what your temp is like tomorrow, hopefully you'll have a shift

Have you had much feedback elsewhere on BnB?

 

[kissyfacelala]

maybe I am ovulating today....it is just so late at this point....CD31...even if we catch that egg wouldn't my lining be too old for implantation to be successful??? we are still gonna tomorrow and/or tonite....

this cycle has been so unusual....

i am pretty sure I am out this cycle! it is only cycle # 2 but what if I have something that is causing me not to ovulate????

i posted my chart in another thread and two ladies both said I have not ovulated and maybe this temp dip and cramps is ovulation...

 

[caro103]

Morning kissy, try not to worry too much at this stage, i've heard lots of women occassionally have an unusual cycle. you say you've had normal temp shifts before so you normally Ov and on time. Maybe something has thrown this cycle right off?

Dunno if this'll make you feel any better but this last cycle gone was only No.2 for us too and I've been really gutted we didn't get that BFP, however now nearly a week on I can rationalise a bit more and realise it really would have been extremly lucky to have got PG already and went out last night and got soo drunk which has really helped! we're not going to really try overly this month due to several reasons, but i'll follow this thread still and hopefully there won't be anyone left cos you'll all have you're xmas babies but if not will be there for the 2011 babes! xxx

 

[kissyfacelala]

thanks caro!!

my husband says I am freaking out over nothing! it is just that I tend to be proactive and if this cycle is an indication of troubles to come then I want to do something about it now.

but you are right saying getting a BFP after only 2 cycles trying would be extremely lucky!! and it is not like I have not had three cycles before this one as "normal" cycles where I was able to predict my ovulation and AF!!

this month has been kinda stressful too....my cousins and I have been going through a rough time with my aunt passing and work has been quite a load! so many new projects....

so now if AF is on her way she better hurry so we can start fresh again!

and i will try to relax and chill out like my husband says!!

cheers to our christmas miracles!!!

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Good luck Kissy I hope you did Ov and caught that eggy!! FX

 

[HippyMumma23]

Hey girls, I've gotta come in and say that I think I might be out for the next 3 months.

Reason being is, its going to be a seriously tough next 3 months (Im in the last year of my degree and Im trying to get my dissertation and stuff done) and TTC has never been at the back of my mind so much. To the point where I care little about it, just because I dont have time.

And also I realised, our sex life has gone out the window at the moment because Im up til all hours doing uni work, and even when I do go to bed, Im too exhausted to do anything. DH is being so understanding though, bless his little heart.

So obviously, you need to have sex to get a baby and since thats not happening!

However, I will still keep popping in here to see how you lovelies are getting on! I just dont have the time or energy to think about TTC at the moment, I think the saying "One thing at a time" plays a part in this right now.

P.S I cant figure out how to change the title of this thread, does anyone else know how?

[HippyMumma23]

Ok I managed to change it. x

 

[HippyMumma23]

I hope people arent having trouble finding this now Ive changed the title!

 

[kissyfacelala]

no problem here! i found the thread easily. I just have nothing to say....waiting for AF to show so we can start fresh for our christmas baby!

I have always loved christmas and this year even more!

love the new name for the thread!

baby dust to all!

 

[caro103]

Love the new name hippy! although I to am going to more NTNP this cycle and aim to properly TTC again next cycle for a 2011 bundle!

Though they are for silly reasons really, got a wedding to go to right before am next due on, and am going on holiday with DH's dad where we always drink and so if i'm not he'll know and I've always imagined how we'll tell both sets of parents together a few weeks into pregnancy which ob wouldn't happen.

So i'll be doing the same as hippy and popping in but not hoping for BFP this month (that is until Ov time comes round and 1 thing leads to another-hehe)

Hows everyone else doing? xxx

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Evening. Hippy love the new name of the thread..we will miss you please pop in so we can see how all is with you!!

Caro how are you tonight dear??

I have my test tomorrow and I have worried...I know its a easy test cause everyone says it is so I guess it is more the results is what I am worried about. UGH
