April 2015 bus #4 - Step aboard for bfps!

[auxiliaryauroch]

New bus! Ding ding! Bfp seats aplenty! Make haste!

Thanks everyone! It's lovely being a newlywed but now the wedding is over is just babies, babies, babies. I'm learning so much on here though, it's been amazing so thanks guys! I am hoping that I ovulate in the next few days hopefully I get a smily face soon!

dizzym thank you! I'm so glad it's working well for you! I just hope I get some sort of insight from it, bit concerned as I can be a light sleeper but let's see how it goes. You're allowed to be excited, this is very good for you!!

missmartin yup gonna start tomorrow, will be cd3 so not gonna see much for a week or so but its just to start getting into the habit really! Hold your thermometer arrives tomorrow so you can start too!

amy hope you get a smiley soon! Is it your first month using OPKs?

Hope* not hold!

Missmartin I had day 21 bloods done to get my progesterone levels checked.

Woolly I'm sure you'll work it all out. You need 3 solid hours sleep to get an accurate temp. I do recommend the book taking charge of your fertility and there's also loads of info online. It does come together once you get into the habit of doing it.

don't stress about really accurate temping wool and others. My chart was okayish (FF picked up ov) and I temped anytime between 6 - 8 (aimed for 7am but didnt always work) and I'd say I got a full three hours sleep before temping, urm ... never. Everyone's different but just record what you can! So exciting when you pinpoint ov isn't it dizzym!! maybe FF is just waiting for more info to put your ov crosshair in? Can you post your chart?

boris smelling your fingers at work?! Hahahahaha.

parsnip what an arse?!!!! hope you are doing well lovely x

Thanks dizzym I'll take it as soon as I'm awake, will look into this book too - thanks!

Right bedtime for me, night night ladies! Xx

Thanks coffee that's really reassuring! hope you're feeling well! X

Here's a pic of my chart coffee. Can't do links. It is reassuring that temps don't need to be strictly accurate, contrary to what I've read. Bizarrely I've slept better since charting

Night woolly sleep well.

How are you doing coffee? Has the bfp sunk in yet?

Dizzy definitely don't worry about varying wake up times when temping, my cats wake me up at random times throughout the night and I still get a fairly obvious o pattern. What's more is that with vaginal temping I find that the temps are pretty samey depending when I wake up. For instance, when I wake up at 4, they're always around 36.2 and when I wake up at 6 they're always around 36.4.

Oh sorry woolly, not dizzy!! Dopey me!

dizzym I didnt realise that FF had already put in crosshair!! Yay!!! And already 3dpo! I dont know re temping - I think if you get stressed about it having to be right on time and having enough sleep, it will turn more into a stress than a help iykwim?

All okay so far thanks dizzy and woolly - bfp has defo not sunk in yet tho

Can't wait to see a few more bfps soonxx

Oh Coffee I've only just seen the crosshairs now, duh! I'm so pleasd I've ovulated as didn't think I would after getting my progesterone results so all seems good at this point. I think you're right about temping becoming stressful. It's so easy to get caught up with trying to do everything 'right' when really it's causing unnecessary stress. I think your advice about temping makes sense.

Eek almost time for a May bus!

Are going to create it night???

Will do :) will get it ready tonight and put the stats in the initial post.

Woohoo!
i hate waiting for the postman.. i want my thermometer before i go to work at 12 just so i can look at it!

since moving in ive never even seen the postman come?

Thanks for the temping advice all! I was awake at 5.30 so took it then.
Hope it arrives soon missmartin!

DH is complaining about the away day he is on at a five star hotel with cocktail and pizza making. He is getting very sarcastic responses

complaining! ?!? i would flipping love that.. i will swap with him he can go talk to my customers all day hehe.. luckily i only have a short shift for once today 12-6pm can't complain..
is there anyone on her in 2ww or is everyone in early cycle?

I am 8dpo Miiss! I have offered to swap places with DH but he suddenly changed his mind about how awful it was how many dpo are you?

Hope you're thermometer arrives on time missmartin.

Yay for first day of temping woolly. Can't wait to see more charts.

Night tell your DH you will be more than happy to swap with him and would be extremely grateful for the opportunity. Some people just don't know how good they've got it!

I'm in my tww 4dpo and I'm completely shattered but that's partly due to running around helping with nephews and niece as sil is away.

aww dizzy sounds like you need a nice relaxing bath and a massage.. its lovley that you are helping you sil out so much woke she's going through such a hard time

oh night and dizzy exciting times for you two then the wait is so annoying isn't it!!! im only cd 9 but i started dtd everyday since cd 5 to make sure i cover everyday... until i can get a hang of temping and know when I'm actually ov'ing...

Good plan miiss! Can't go wrong then :) am not getting excited as I don't think we will be successful this month due to early ov. At least it should mean that my cycle is at the shorter end of my normal range and it won't be long until I can move onto the next one where I will hopefully ov a bit later :)
