Hey Everyone
So i think AF is on her way... . When I wiped when I went to the washroom today there was some brownish red spotting in my mucous. Havent had any other since but I guess this month Ill get some OPK tests.
Hi guys just dropping by to say hey and that Im still praying for all of you and I read all you post but have been pretty out of it with morning sickness so Ive been just resting
relly thats crazy that AF still isnt here
molly-this is sooo your month!
jenkay-you never know!!
Those using clomid I hope it works ASAP and you guys are prego soon!!
Ill be back on to talk with you guys when I get a better hold on this M/S till then SSSSSSSBBBBBBBBDDDDDDD!!!
Testing today, even though it's quite definitely hopeless. DH keeps telling me "Wait" and pulling out on all the good days. :( Not sure what he wants to wait for---I want one now!!
just coming by to say hello and ssbd:)..i will ttc prolly in another month or so..:)
It drives me nuts! For a few months, I will be right on schedule, same day every month, then it will come 3 or 4 days early, and I never know when it's coming after that!
idk either.... my average is 31. so im hoping i stick with that.
Petite- It can take several months and it's also normal for us to have a few longer cycles per year. Doesn't it just drive you up a wall that you can't control it!?
I used ot have a regular cycle before the miscarriage.. Now i have a shifting one.. it will be one short cycle, one long then short then long.... averaging around 32 days hoping it will even out soon.
first cycle after MC: 28
2nd cycle after MC: 32
3rd cycle after MC 27
4th cycle after MC: 37 days!
I am interested to see about this cycle. I may not be using OPK to confirm my ovulation yet but I have been charting when I start my cycles every month so. I know they say it can take several months for your cycles to normalize again after a d&c
O ok Im not even sure what they consider a regular cycle..... I was having a 31 day cycle before I started taking FB and it disappeared once I discontinue using it....
Good Luck with this cycle
Im not really regular. im between 25 and 40 days. im hoping it happens this month after this im done trying.
I totally understand! I actually haven't filled my script yet, I am thinking the same thing you are, maybe I won't need it, because I could be already! lol I have been peeing a TON lately, and I am trying not to think, hey I could be pregnant!
I don't know yet my ob said she was going to put me on it, but I still have to make my appointment to go in and get the script. I've been dragging my feet because I keep thinking I could be pregnant. After AF shows I'll call and set my appointment.
Good luck!
I will also be taking Clomid at the end of this month for the first time! I am going to be taking 50mg Cd 5-9. What about you? It's nice to know someone else is in the same situation I am! I am nervous and excited at the same time! lol
Well just letting you know I took fertility blend for two months and when I decided to stop is when my period went missing if you know what I mean..... I'm on cycle day 60 I think and it hasn't come since December 4th. I read something that said if you have a regular cycle FB is not for you......
Good Luck
Good morning! Just stopping in to say hi and see how everyone is doing. We just got back from our vacation last night and I am beat. I can't believe it's February already at the end of this month I'll be going on clomid for the first time. Well good luck with testing and bd'ing this week!
just started using it yesterday so idk yet lol
Morning ladies. No Af yet. She was due Sunday. Im going to wait ut out. I normally get this thick discharge before period n I did the last two days. I only Bd 1 time this month. I just ordered my fertility monitor yesterday. Spent 200$ between that n the strips n soft cups. Im going to wait it out to see if she shows by Saturday. Um guessing she will. I just know im tired no cramps. Bb's hurt. N discharge. All normal Af signs. Ow n I had a headache last night.
I'm know it's kinda long but this info might help you...
Charting your BBTs is really pretty easy. Basically, what you are doing is taking your temperature first thing each day and plotting the temperature on a chart. What you are looking for is to see a shift of at least .4 degrees Fahrenheit after ovulation making your chart biphasic (showing low temperatures before ovulation in the follicular phase, and higher ones after ovulation in the luteal phase). Be sure to use ovulation tests in conjunction with your basal charting to provide you with an accurate sense of your most fertile time of month.
Take your temperature first thing in the morning before you get out of bed or even speak -- leave your thermometer at your bedside within easy reach so you don't have to move much to get it. If you use a glass thermometer, make sure you shake it down before going to bed.
Try to take the temperature at as close to the same time each day as possible -- set an alarm if you need to. Staying within a half hour either side of your average time is a good idea because your temp can vary with the time (i.e., if you usually take your temperature at 6 a.m., it is OK to take your BBT between 5:30-6:30, but the closer to 6 the better). The normal variation is by up to .2 degrees per hour -- lower if you take your temperature early, higher if you take it late.
It is best to take your BBT after a minimum of 5 hours sleep, and at least 3 in a row is preferable.
You can take your temperature orally, vaginally, or rectally -- just stay with the same method for the entire cycle.
You should try to place the thermometer the same way each day (same location of your mouth, same depth vaginally and rectally).
Plot your temperature on your chart each day, but refrain from reading too much into it until the cycle is done.
Some women, not all, have a temperature drop when they ovulate. If you see this drop, it is a good idea to have sex in case you are ovulating.
What you are looking for is a temperature shift of at least .4 degrees over a 48-hour period to indicate ovulation. This shift should be above the highest temperatures in the previous six days, allowing one temperature to be thrown out as inaccurate (fluke, illness). Perhaps the best way to explain this is to show an example.
In the image above, the seven BBTs before ovulation are 97.2, 97.3, 97.8, 97.4, 97.2, 97.3, 97.0 then it jumps to 97.7 and then 98. Ovulation most likely occurred on the day with the 97.0 and you can comfortably draw a coverline at 97.6. You just ignore the 97.8 on day 10.
After you see a temperature shift for at least three days, or at the end of your cycle, you can draw a coverline between your follicular phase and luteal phase temperatures. With luck, it is easy to see a clear shift and draw your line between the highest follicular phase BBT and the lowest luteal phase BBT as in the sample above. The main reason for drawing this line is just to clearly delineate that your chart is biphasic.
Look at the chart at the end of the month to analyze what happened.
Chart for a few months and look for patterns.
IF I decide to temp next month or attempt to temp...... What should I expect..
There is a spike following ovulation then it drops?
TWW.
A friends relative just had her baby..and two more girls at work are now pregnant.... pregnancies and babies are everywhere
Hey Ladies!
I used a ovulation strip on the 25th that showed up ovulating but I'm not sure if that means I'm ovulating that day or in 48 hours which I had seen someone else mention. I did do the deed on the 23rd the 26th and the 27th but due to work schedules we couldn't on the 24th or 25th. I am expected to get my period on the 7th. I have been having a lot of clear egg white cervical mucus it comes out in blobs sometimes (tmi sorry) i'm not sure what thats about and i've been having sore fuller boobs.. i'm hoping for the best..
baby dust to all!!
Thx faith same to you!!!!
