temp buddies 2

Good morning all:

weepootleflump - TBC CD3 (4th cycle ttc)
Mum03 ? 36.6 cd5 (3rd cycle ttc)
Angelfire - tbc CD13 (2nd cycle ttc)
Ready - tbc CD17 (6th cycle ttc)
Iwillbepg - tbc CD17 (9th cycle ttc)
Minxi - 36.60 CD17 (8th cycle ttc)
Seaside72 - 36.84CD21 8DPO (11th cycle ttc)
LondonLottie - tbc CD23 6DPO (4th cycle ttc)
Rahrah - tbc 13DPO (3rd cycle ttc)
Honeyapple - tbc cd31 16DPO BFP! (6th cycle ttc)

Another novice question for the wise temp ones : woke up this am at 7am to go to loo - tried to forget about it but had to go - took temp before - 36.84. Then went back to sleep till normal temp time 8am - thought I would take temp again out of curiosity 36.94 - I am right to go with the first one aren't I? If I adjust for the hour I think it is 36.89 - so splitting the diff? Sorry for dumb questions!!

Ammy, I do too - although I don't come from here. Small world eh?

Girls, just a quick note as off to dorset until wednesday night so not around.... still feeling a bit rubbish with cold coughs etc but hey can relax now...have body scrub booked in for later...ummm

Greedy - good luck today and the rest of you have a good couple of days

I do live in Nuneaton- Do you?

Sorry, forgot to say good luck with scan tomorrow greedy - hope all goes well.

rahrah, so sorry you're having a bad time. It just clicked with me who you are, as I spoke to you on the thread about Bertie (I lost my boy in Sept 06 at 32 wks) and you don't live too far from me as I remember. How nice that we've ended up on this thread together. Let's hope we don't have to stay too long .

ammylovesolivia, I see you're getting married in Nuneaton - do you live there?

lottie, can't believe you're only on your 4th cycle - you're such an expert! ps, I love your name - you sound v. glam!

For everyone else on the topic of whether over-obsessing is not helpful: I tried for 7 months with dd and the first month we decided to 'stop trying' it happened.

With ds, I was not ttc but only using my awareness of when I ov as contraception. It worked for a few months until one night I had a bit too much red wine...

However, this time I'm really desperate to get pg as quickly as poss as I don't want too large a gap between my dd and the next one. Plus I'm really enjoying obsessing about it, just not sure yet about the charting - worried that it'll take too long and give me even less time on here. Dh is getting a bit anti about always coming second to mnet .

Only 2 full days to go till MIL goes home .

Greedy - good luck with your scan tomorrow. Please let us all know how it went. What a cool job!!!!!
Seaside - I am in agreement with you about having cranial sacral work done when i have a baby, totally believe it gives them a good start to life.
I have just noticed my cervix is very high and soft - good sign me thinks!! Didnt think I would ever be able to tell but after doing last cycle it is beginning to make sense as is the CM. I thought there would be loads of it but now I have put that behind me I have now seen the lotion and the sticky, waiting for the EW - very excited!x

Greedy - good luck with the scan tomorrow - have got fingers crossed fro you - It will be fine I'm sure

How amazing that you do some cranio-sacral work too and on little ones - If I do get lucky enough to have a baby I am DEF going to take it for therapy as have heard so many positive stories about its effects on newborns.

You are obviously way more qualified to recommend treatment than me - but I really think it could help many of us - rahrah included.

mum03 - maybe we can have our own little experiment on FF and TCOYF - which one is right! Even more confusion - but interesting nonetheless!

Ready - are you starting to feel like a lab rat yet !!

wow you lot have been chatty today!

sorry to hear you are so down today rahrah. you are entitled to your down days, lets hope tomorrow is better for you.
ready - i bet you have recovered already knowing you! probably back to your normal optimistic self already........am i right? and i dont want to hear that you are feeling negative about this month, i am feeling highly positive for you still.

mum03 - i am still waiting for some definate news from you, not sure if i believe you are really on cd4. if your temp drops tomorrow and you have managed to take it properly, then i MIGHT believe you!

i do a limited amount of paediatric cranio scaral work, but not on grown ups! it seems to work really well on little ones, but i do combine it with massage and other paediatric chiropractic adjustments so it could be the whole combination that works so well...............i love treating babies! its the best bit of my job!

i have just frozen my dh's verrucca off at his request! we are so romantic dont you think!?

ok ladies, i must go and soak in the bath and try and take my mind off my scan tomorrow! i am STILL spotting! one minute i feel pg and the next minute i dont, so i am a bit nervous ( actually .........i am shitting myself!)

rahrah Just found this link that might be of use to you www.childbereavement.org.uk
Have you got friends that you can talk to about your baby? Did you name him/her?Please only answer these questions if you want to, i wont be offended if you dont.xxx

Lottie- I think there is money to be made here!

I cant believe that software tells you all that info. Amazing. Even when to have sex. bizarre.

Ready, I have the little Boots book to, and am very fond of it. Spend ages pondering over my temps.

BTW, GOOD NEWS!! Temp went up a bit today. I think I do ovulate!

Ready - totally agree in the charting etc, I didn't think about the charting and temps when ttc the other 2, if I had maybe I would have conceived earlier...who knows... this time round feel like I am learning !

Lottie if I dont get bfp this month think I may have to get you to analysze my chart!! pplease....

IKWYM Ready - but I honestly think that all our charting and temping serves to help us feel better rather than guarantee a BFP - It is what I have now decided to call the "greedy" factor - you can do it on all the right days for months but it seems like it happens when it bl**y well wants to.

After 11 months of trying to do it at the right time ( I would say we have managed maybe 6 cycles in the past year of technically doing it at the best times) I am moving towards some testing to see if anything is wrong - but you are so young and it does seem that many people just take longer - (Personally I think our bodies just don't know what to do yet!!) I remember exactly how I felt after the first month that I used the CB monitor and had BDed on all peak days and a few before and I just thought - this is it I am pregnant - I was so shocked when AF arrived!

Keep you chin up hon - it might be your month yet!

Oh Ready, Of course it doesnt mean there is something wrong.

It simply means that with every odd stacked against you- which there is with ttc, nature just isnt kind- it hasnt happened YET. xxxx

(((((((((((((((((((((HUG))))))))))))))))))))

Ready - I understand why you think that is worse but its just normal. Even if we hit the right days it doesnt guarantee anything, it just makes the odds better of getting PG it doesnt nescessarily mean that there is anything wrong. I know you know this in your heart but thought I would remind you! x

Thanks Lottie, you may have your chart back now ... Really interesting stuff. I have to say it is worse to hear that we did it on 2 of the best days last cycle, as nothing came of it. If you know what I mean. It's far easier to feel that I have miscalculated and that might be why we haven't conceived yet, but if we are doing it at the right time and it hasn't happened, there must be something wrong, mustn't there??

Lottie -well done on Ready's temps!! It make me LOL to think of us all on a sunday afternoon doing charts and analysing each others info!!

Ready - I soo need to do some housework - but MN is such a good distraction!!

angelfire - my Dad is a singer/songwriter and guitarist (he's brilliant - but I am his daughter !!!). Thought you might be a mac girl as well - being a musician!

This is the cranio-sacral therapist I recommend in London W1 - The rooms are on Harley Street (can never remember the number - sorry) and I think she is there only on Mondays and Tuesdays Hilary Phillips Tel: 020 7486 8687. She also practices in Kent - and I can recommend another good one in the Oxfordshire/ Henley on Thames area if that is any use to anyone!!

Lottie, at the eggs!! I thought I was cracking up (no pun intended)... I was thinking, I didn't tell them I had poached eggs, then I realised it was on another thread... phew, I am not mental (well, only a bit)

Seaside I deserve some teasing

Thanks Lottie, I am sorry if I don't get back to you straight away, I am busy with lots of things in the house, and popping on the pc as and when I get five minutes!
