Temping Buddies 11 - The Vita West Appreciation Society - Springing into BFP's!!

[fym]

Hi All

Thought I start the new thread before we ran out of space on the old one!

Hopefully good old Vita (Zita!!) will sprinkle some babydust on us all...

................................

Nappy, love the symmetry of your chart post-ov

Is it obvious I am chart spotting and popping back?

ClairePO, how are you feeling?

Thanks Claire, Ready and Sarah.

Ready, my pre-o temps hover around the 36.1 - 36.2 mark as well. I don't imagine anything is wrong with my thyroid because I don't have any other symptoms and we did manage to get pg first shot first time around.

Claire, I haven't posted my chart, but this is my first cycle since my mc, which started on the 15th or so. I'm on CD18 and spotting, but haven't had a temp shift yet. Pre-pregnancy I usually didn't ovulate until CD18 or so anyway. But I've got no other signs that O is approaching, CM seems to be no where in sight! That said I did manage to take my temp an hour earlier than usual this morning - DH set the alarm for an early meeting and I didn't know - so that coupled with the time change and I'm not really sure my chart is accurate anyway!

Claire, FF did that to me too last month! It's so rude, isn't it!

Minxi, yay! Looks like you could have BDed at a good time, I reckon FF will put your O on CD25. I am feeling quite smug in my chart-interpreting now, I really had a feeling you would O that day. Not that I spend loads of time thinking about everyone else's ovaries or anything....gosh that sounds weird

oops, crossed

Confused Lottie (Welcome back by the way)... I thought I looked at your chart this morning and saw a +... what happened?

my lovely WW scales say my BMI is 27.3. Does anyone want them - I think I've gone off them and I only bought them the other day....

I'd like to swap them please for some that say I'm 10 stone and BMI 22 like in the old days before DS....

Hugs lottie but you're still not out! And look on the bright side if you conceived in Santiago then you would be obliged to name the little one that a la Brooklyn Beckham!

Hello! Well, I googled 'acupuncture for fertility' in my area this morning and ended up contacting a clinic for more info ... the 'registered acupuncturist' recommended once a week treatments for the first 4 weeks and then once a month 3-4 days before ovulation after that until pregnancy ... £35 pounds per session. Could turn out to be a big investment at the rate I'm going but I'm going to call back tomorrow to book an appointment. Anything is worth a shot ...

Lottie, I always take the weight issue with a pinch of salt. From what I've read, if your larger (which I definitely am) but you still have regular periods & ovulate etc then that's OK. Having lived in the US for the past 4 years I can tell you I saw plenty of larger ladies who had no trouble conceiving whatsoever ...

Lottie? or should we start calling you previous? Nope, not funny! Sorry that you didn?t get the +ve yet? and there is still every chance that a swimmer released in Santiago, could fertilise an egg, slightly delayed ? Are you sure your BMI is over 25? I presumed mine would be, because I am short? but I was pleasantly surprised, I mean, I would personally like to lose ½ a stone, but my BMI is 23 ? which is in the healthy range. Agree with you though, I always feel better after exercise ? it really does release endorphins, or some such!

With regards to being overweight and it being an issue for conception? I suggested this to my GP, when I first went to ask for help? she wasn?t amused that I thought I could be considered overweight. But went on to say that whilst being obese can affect all bodily processes ? there are LOTS of women out there who are very big and conceive with no fuss. And when I think about it, I know a woman who is huge ? and has two children. So let?s not worry about weight being an obstacle.

Can?t remember if I said? I had hopi ear candle treatment yesterday, and a pedicure? and have taken the plunge and booked in for some reflexology. The therapist is a family friend, so I don?t want to make it conception specific? but I am presuming if there is a blockage, or an imbalance of some kind? it would be picked up??

Lottie ... don't think you've anything to worry about on that score . I'm not up to going to the gym yet, so for me it's walking ... does make me feel better though, just like you said.

You know, I just can't imagine needles ... can't see how they'd be relaxing at all ... it will be interesting to swap notes after we've had our appointments!!

Oh... and the two bits in my last post that made me sound uppety and smug... were meant to highlight that it is easy to assume you are bigger than you really are.

Not sure it came across that way! Tut.

Oh Ready ... read this article! I googled 'reflexology & fertility' and it came up ...
