Pecka ? Congratulations!!! I LOVED your news post so, so much! and I am so delighted that you have now got a confirmation!!! Our second December BFP!! Tell us how it's done? wishing you a very happy and healthy pregnancy!! Can I have a BFP on my birthday too please!
Morning all! Not feeling the calmest today. I?ve had to take my poor puss to the Vet for an Xray on her paw & leg as she is limping, hope it is nothing serious . Also, DH is not good so I am still working from home which is usually great but seeing as I finish this job on Friday, there is a ton of mess to tidy in the office and I don?t know when I am going to do it. All a bit stressful!
Snowydays ? sorry to hear that you are a bit grumpy due to your temps. Which web chart do you use? Do you think you did OV a few days ago? Still time for that miracle hon, positive thoughts now!
Pinky ? PMSL at the digiTAIL!
XmassyCharlotte ? one of my RL friends is just pregnant and she has said that the best piece of advice she was given was to throw away all the books, charts etc and let nature take it?s course ? I can tell you, that would not work for me, I?d go out of my mind, I need some element of control! How you are enjoying the charting.
Greedy ? We?ve all been there and know how you feel. Well done for saving the test this morning, you know you?ll need all your supplies when you get a BFP and want to keep checking Isn?t it funny the things we fret about, I bet you never thought worry about your body temp would keep you up at night!
Micepieshu ? loving your name! sorry to hear you are feeling sorry for yourself, I really hope that AF stays away, try to stay positive, you never know! That?s great news about your tests, you must be delighted! Hope the referral relief works for you! Perfect timing for your holiday!! Mine is just when AF is due ? should be more positive and say when my BFP is due shouldn?t I
Santasmum ? we have a temping thread where we discuss our charts here and one for posting our charts here. It would be great to have you with us if you want to join. I have the same thermometer as XmassyCharlotte and it is good but would be better if it had a light so I didn?t have to turn the light on. The beeping annoys DH too. Think someone should invent one that lights up when the reading is done and doesn?t beep. Boots have a special TTC one I think ? Chooster, is that where you got yours with the notes? You take your temp first thing every morning at the same time and before you do anything else. I take mine before I even sit up. You need to ensure that you have 3 hours of consecutive sleep before you temp too. If you get up early or late, you can adjust your temp (by .1c/1/2 hr, up for late, down for early) but it is better to try and take it at the same time each day. If you chart the temps from the start of your cycle, take the highest temp of 6 days following the end of your AF and draw a line, this is your coverline and if you temps go above it for 3 consecutive days, chances are you OVd the day before the rise. Some get a dip before the rise. In the first couple of charts, the temps alone are not a good indicator of OV about to happen because you cannot determine a pattern but you will see when it did happen afterwards. As you know, CM is the best way to know that your are in your fertile time. If you are using software, it will predict your OV date from the info you put into it and as time goes on and it gets to know you better, the predictions are more accurate. HTH
Snowyowlet ? Course you?ve got a chance, many, many I am sure and I?ll sure your eggs will be just perfect. Really hope you get your BFP soon! . Do you mind me asking how you have been so patient and stayed sane all this time? and why did you choose to go for an IVF consultation now and not before? Cyberslap me if I am out of line. I am really interested to hear about you taking supplements throughout your cycle too. Did your consultant recommend you to? I have read that B6 and EPO after OV can be potentially harmful. I know we read so many things but I have headed that advice to date and have still had the desired effect of extending my LP from 9/10 days to 12 for the last 2 cycles (been taking the supplements for 4/5 cycles now). You can swop the EPO for flaxseed oil after OV without the potentially harmful side effects apparently. I have read some things on here about the aspirin, what is that taken for during TTC again?
Yuletideways ? no problems, I?ll CAT you the recipe so I don?t waste space on here . I like your name, much better than my suggestion so wanted that babydust though!!
Big hugs to FestiveFloss and Kittiwake, I know it?s a horrible time for you, hang on in there, hope your BFPs are just round the corner!
