Hairy fab news - congratulations...

HairyToe · 15/04/2008 19:41

Thanks minxi. I've only been here five minutes and you've all been so nice. It took me a while to get round to temping and then pluck up the courage to 'join in' here - though it looks like it may have brought me some serious luck.

Ready · 15/04/2008 19:42

Wow! Congratulations HairyToe

HairyToe · 15/04/2008 19:44

I posted too quick - sorry. I meant to say if this works out I really hope some of that luck runs off on you all.

Now stressing out searching MN on 'chemical pregancy' and 'fake positive clearblue results' - obsessed, moi?

pootleflump · 15/04/2008 19:48

yes Ready - weepootle! Glad you remember me! Hope all you 'old skool' lot will be joining me soon .

Temp still going down, now doubting that I ovulated. Anyone want to go the the charts thread and have a nose? Opinions gratefully received. FF is also starting to doubt, I reckon if I have another low temp it will take my O and coverline away!

HT, congrats!

beaniesteve · 15/04/2008 20:28

OH HairyToe! CONGRATULATIONS
I've read a lot of your posts. Well done to you and your OH xxx

HairyToe · 15/04/2008 20:39

Thank you beanie. Keeping my fingers crossed it stays, although if it does I shall be sorry to leave this thread (although obviously ecstatic to be actually pregnant. That is the point after all ).

By the way I have wondered before what does OH as opposed to DH mean?

sarah - soooo not an expert as I have only recently been tenping but could you be about to ovulate? I have looked at your previous charts and you seem to have a fall in temp just before you ovulate. Could your ovulation have been delayed this month -maybe stress of leaving job? As I said I am a real novice so feel free to ignore me!

ClairLesley · 15/04/2008 21:36

Hairytoe ... HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

so very happy for you, you lucky lady!!

hope this is the stickiest wee toe ever

beaniesteve · 15/04/2008 22:03

Morning all - I go awol for a couple of days and find a BFP.... well done Hairy

On the subject of lengthening LP's I managed to get to 15 days (up from 12) last month when I o'd early. Not sure if it was all the BD'ing or the vitamins - started on the extra omega 3 capsules. However haven't BD'd so much this month so will report back in a couple of days... I suspect it was the sex

how is everyone? I am determned not to test until officially overdue! but gosh tuesday seems a long time away!

hopefully there are enough of us here to get a few bfps this month! fingers crossed

Morning all!

Congrats Hairy Toe!!!!!!!!! That's so amazing!!!! Best wishes for a sticky healthy bean! And RE: feeling sad about leaving this thread, why doncha takes us all with you!?

Temp plunged today and bleeding started in earnest, which makes sense - but now I don't know whether or not I should count the first two days as spotting. It was really really light, like sort of between spotting and light menses. And then what does this all mean for my LP??? So sorky confusion still cotinues regarding just what exactly is CD1! Hope yours is a little more defined!

sarah and rattling I've been taking 50mg of B6 in addition to Pregnacare as well, but it's really hard to say if it's having any effect on my LP at all. The first month I started taking it was the cycle I got pregnant, so I dont' know what my LP would've been, although I didn't miscarry until 11weeks, and it was a mmc, so I'm sure that my LP had nothing to do with that anyway, which is a good sign. I've been taking B6 throughout this cycle, but it appears to have done nothing for my LP - unless you count the funny spotting/really light period days as part of my LP... But then again, I've chalked this cycle up to crazy because it was the first since mc anyway. I've just started taking the 50mg B6 twice a day for this cycle to see what happens. I can't find anywhere in my TCOYF that she actually recommends B6 let alone a dosage, but she sort of alludes to it, and mentions someone else who recommends 200-500mg/day to lengthen LP. That seems like an awful lot to me, so I figured I'd try the 100mg and see what happens.

ChoChoSan · 16/04/2008 11:47

Quick question - if anyone can help.

I am about to start charting my temp, and don't have time to read up about it straight away. I am on CD1, and the opportunity presents itself to get away from my desk to buy a thermometer in the local chemist...can I just get an ordinary mercury thermometer, or must it be a BBT one?

fym · 16/04/2008 12:02

Hi chochosan the recommendation is for a digital degrees F one in 1dp and a degrees c one to 2dp (so a proper BBT one). I have temped for 7 months with a normal digital thermometer (in degrees F) with no problems.

If going non digital you have to have a proper bbt one as you need to be able to see a temperature rise of just a few points of a degree (mine is around 1/2 a degree but others have less!)

OP posts:
luvingtinkerbell · 16/04/2008 12:02

hi cho
you need a bbt thermometer
i bought mine on ebay for £4 pounds
think chemists should do one just ask for a bbt digitail thermometer has to be accurate
start temping in the morning if you can st an alarm you need to take same time each morning as soon as you wake up before moving etc
good luck
i started temping this cycle is exciting
hope this helps
