Hey Ladies

Threadmistress, can you move me to Think I O'd, testing 3/18-3/22? Thank you! As if I can wait that long :rolleyes:

We used pre-seed this month for the first time. But I was really surprised to say I had EWCM for the 1st time since coming off the pill last year in July. :eek:
TMI ALERT:
I got a feeling that I had started AF and I ran to the bathroom, well what do you know I am swimming in EWCM! I was shocked but pleasantly surprised.:D

[Chris~n~Jen]

Can someone tell me how to post a link to my FF chart in my signiture???

I started off charting our first month TTC and ended up moving to SWH because I was stressing myself out a bit. Well 5 months later, I've decided to start charting again so I have a better idea of what's going on with my body. I'm not officially ready to join this thread since I'd like to complete one full cycle first.

Sorry for more silly questions but again I'm new to this. :o

What exactly does FF need to see in your chart in order to decide that you are fertile or have O'd? I have been having ovulation pains yesterday and today and a big spike in temp today. I always "assumed" that I O'd between CD11-13 due to my average cycle only lasting 25 days. Today is CD13 and FF isn't showing me as fertile. So I'm just kinda wondering how it works.

[MrsR]

okay ladies, I went to the doctor and I do have an eye infection:rolleyes:

She gave me an antibiotic ointment and a pill to take 4x per day for the next seven days. I told her I may be PG so she prescribed meds that are okay if I am PG.

Here is my question, will the antibiotics affect my temps???

Chris~n~Jen - the instructions to link your chart are on the first page of the thread.

Jess -- I also could not find pre-seed anywhere, I bought it from Amazon.com (actually I think it was earlypregnancytests.com, but I bought it through the amazon site).

Thanks, I got it! :D

Chris~n~Jen Typically, your temps are the most important factor when it comes to FF. If your temp spiked today, it will need to maintain itself for 3 days for FF to show crosshairs. On the 3rd day of higher than normal temps, you'll get your cross ahirs (O date and coverline). Obviously, your CM is also taken into consideration. If you spiked today, you'll probably see your crosshairs on Sunday and it'll probably show that you Od yesterday which would be CD 12 for you and right where you thought u'd be.

Thank you so much! You have been very helpful. My temp did spike today so I hope it stays up there so I know I'm not crazy. :D

OK, so I had to post this little moment i had today. My step-mom sent me a gift card to steinmart for my b-day so i went shopping today!! Their plus size section sucks, so i was limited in my choices. I did find a killer pair of goucho pants that are just devine on my ever shrinking booty. So I get in the dressing room and try on the pants. They look killer. Then, I turn to the side, and push out my stomach to see how they will look when I am PG!!! OMG, I sat down right there in the dressing room and started laughing at myself. All I could think when I was trying them on was "Will these fit when I get PG??". Yeah, so i'm crazy. I just had to share.

[ptcrn]

charliezangel, I read that too about the real egg-whites and at the time thought it was crazy! But I actually thought about it seriously this month- lord knows what my DH would think- he already thinks I'm nuts with the charting! :rolleyes:

kimmer I hope you caught that egg! I'm so happy to read that there is hope for EW after all. I came on the pill in August and still have not seen any. Is there such a thing as EWCM dust? :D

gymwidow, try not to get discouraged! I know it is hard, but a lack of FPS doesn't mean anything. I'm keeping all crossables crossed for you that this is your month!

MrsR, I doubt that the antibiotics will affect your temps at all. Most are safe during pregnancy too, but I'm glad they gave you one that is definitely ok. Feel better!

[ABirney]

Hey ladies... just checking in... I have been petsitting and not online for a few days. So way to much for individual s/o's...
But
Jess sorry to hear about your step grandma
RubberSoul sticky vibes coming your way!
Good luck to all those O'ing and testing soon and sorry for those AF found.

Well my last day of Provera was on Tues and today on my internal CM check it was the tiniest bit blood-tinged so hopefully AF will show soon and on to the next cycle. 6 months of TTC and just finishing my 2nd cycle.. yuck.
Have a great night everyone!

[Delaney21]

I'm at 12DPO today which is my longest LP ever, but I finally broke down and tested this morning - BFN. AF still hasn't shown up yet, but I've been having cramps all week. I'll test again tomorrow if AF doesn't show up.

[RubberSoul]

Delaney21- I am keeping my fingers crossed that you temps stay up!

MrsR- sorry to hear about the eye infection. I hope the meds will clear it up quickly. I am not sure about how meds would affect your temp., but I would think they wouldn't have much of an effect.

Thanks to everyone for sending the sticky vibes my way! My temp was down yesterday when I got the positive, but is back up today. I am trying to stay optimistic. I am supposed to get AF Tuesday or Wednesday next week. If it doesn't show and I get another BFP, then I will be ready to celebrate. :D

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

[JayJay]

I'm on CD3 here. So very, very boring. I'm getting anxious for my pre-seed and OPK's to arrive, but that's just because I'm impatient.

I'm hoping that my temps stay more in a normal range this cycle. Last month threw me waaayy off. Don't need that again.

Delaney Keep your chin up! It's not over til she shows!

You too, ABirney! It's not quite over for you yet!

Chris~n~Jen, your chart looks good! Nice spike in temps!

[Kimmer]

Ptcrn – Thanks there really should be EWCM dust

MrsR – It is funny you asked about taking the antibiotics while pg, I did the exact same thing last week. I had a very bad sore throat that needed to be treated with antibiotics and that was my first question. I will say that while I was taking the meds I was so under the weather I didn’t really bother temping everyday but the few temps I recorded don’t look very different from the previous month.
Sorry I am not more help:o

Delaney It is still early don't give up yet. Lets hope your temps stay up:)

[Ilovemygeek]

Hi ladies! I am just checking in. I am trying to put off testing until Tuesday, but I don't think I can wait that long. Why are HPTs so addicting? I know I should wait, but I just can't help it sometimes.

[polkadot]

Delaney & ABirney- its not over till she shows...stay positive...

Chris~n~Jen- looking good! those temps are looking very nice and hihg

Ptcrn – Thanks there really should be EWCM dust i totally agree!!

MrsR – i dont think the antibiotics are going to hurt anything

Ilovemygeek- that chart is looking might pretty!!

FIngers crossed for all!!!

[ABirney]

Hey ladies... hope everyone is having a good weekend!
There are some pretty charts out there... hope to see some BFP's soon!
Mine would be pretty if only it was natural instead of Provera-induced... temp started to go down yesterday and then huge spike today.. probably because I"m not feeling well... (another sinus/sore throat thing) Should I discard it? Not that it matters... annov cycle anyway and that Provera should kick-start AF any day now. Wish it was my body doing that naturally instead of meds... oh well.
Well have a great night everyone!

[Alioop12345]

Well, I have NO idea whats going on with me. It's CD31 and my ave cycle length is 27 days. I POAS and got a BFN...guess I'll call my RE if no AF by Mon....

Some charts are looking pretty!

[MrsR]

Thanks for all the *feel better* vibes -- my upper eyelid is still pretty swollen but it does not hurt as much to blink anymore:p

Well 8 DPO and my temp went down a bit yesterday and then a lot today -- could this be an implantation dip or is that usually only one day of lower temps?

I'll do SOs later 'cause I am at work:(

[charliezangel]

OK, this could be some serious TMI....bear with me

OK, so I got my + OPK 2 days ago (Friday). DH and I BDed Friday night and last night. We've also been pretty "busy" this whole cycle, a lot more than usual. Well last night neither of us was really into it, but we were doing it just to TTC. I was really dry and not really aroused at all. Long story short, we BDed, but i don't think it went anywhere because I was so dry and i refuded to use KY because i've heard it can damage the sprem or something. So my question is this...If semen at least gets in there, but isn't directly at your cervix, can it still work?? I put my feet up on the wall for a bit afterward, hoping it would make it "flow" towards my cervix and DH was laughing at me. I know i'm probably being stupid.

[polkadot]

mrs R- that could definitely be a implant dip...if your temp jumps up again tomorrow...that would be a very good thing....fingers crossed for you...

Emily- i think as long as he was (TMI) in you when he did his business...its good enough...that happened to us on more than one occasion last cycle...try and relax a little bit more next month...and try and think that if it was meant to be this cycle...you would both me WAY into it....thats the aproach we are taking this month and it is helping a lot ;)

I am so mad at myself...i was pretty sure i O'ed yesterday but i forgot to set my alarm this mornign and didnt temp...so know i will have to wait till tomorrow to see if my temp has jumped...dang it...oh well i still havew OPK's left i will have to see what they say...

later girls

[Delaney21]

Threadmistress: Please move me to waiting to O

AF showed this morning.

[MrsR]

Delaney -- <<<hugs>>, sorry about AF.

polkadot -- thanks for the positive vibes.

Originally I thought my temp drop could be implantation, but now that I look at my chart again, my temp really only dropped about .25 of a degree today, and compared to Friday's temp, it only dropped a total of almost .4. In the grand scheme of things, probably not enough of a drop to be implantation . . ., however, a temp jump tomorrow would be such a nice birthday present:p :p :p

Threadmistress: Although a day early, please update my age to 32 :eek:

[Chris~n~Jen]

MrsJackson & polkadot ~ Thanks for taking a look at my chart. I'm not entirely sure what the chart is supposed to look like so it's good to hear that it's looking good. :)

[Alioop12345]

Threadmistress...please move me to waiting to O

AF came this morning.

[ABirney]

Hi ladies!
Sorry the hag showed Delaney and Alioop
Happy bday MrsR!
Good luck to those O'ing and testing soon!
Nothing new here... patiently waiting for AF... will be away from the computer petsitting (again) until Tues night so I'll check back then.

[Ilovemygeek]

Well, I broke down and took a HPT this morning:

Congrats Ilovemygeek!!!!!!!!!!! H&H 9 months to you :-) And send some of that baby dust our way!!!

Delaney & Alioop - sorry about AF...

MrsR - fingers are crossed &&&&&

Nothing new here...except MIL IS NO LONGER LIVING WITH US!!!!!! :D After 5 months, I can't tell you how excited I am!!!!! Woo hoo! Unfortunately, I have to go out of town tonight for work, but then DH and I will finally be ALONE! :-)

Other than that, just chilling at CD10...
Have a great day!

[charliezangel]

Congrats Ilovemygeek. H&H 9 months!!!


OK, CD20, no temp jump today. We were so exausted last night we didn't BD. I guess today could be my O day (like it was last cycle) but i was hoping it would be earlier. This short LP is bothering me. We'lll see what happens i guess. I'll try to BD tonight, things have just been crazy lately. I feel like we're forcing it. And then it's just a means to get PG, not us really wanting to be intimate. DH has been great, he's been trying really hard to be in the mood, but he works really hard and long hours, and sometimes he just wants to plop on the couch and not move. I think i will be devastated if I don't get a BFP this cycle.
