Hi ladies:
This is my first time here. I'm also waiting to find out if I'm pregnant. Husband and I weren't really trying but we were preventing either. I haven't the foggiest about CM, temperature, etc. so I don't know when I ovulate. I'm 34 (35 on 9/28). My last period was 8/16. I took a pregnancy test because I have been having nausea, dizziness, tugging in abdominal region, and mild backache, and tremendous fatigue. I've also been on a wild hormonal roller coaster with mood swings to boot. I've taken several pregnancy tests. The first one showed "positive" (2 lines). I started jumping and celebrating but then I looked at it again, that line was GONE! My nerves are just about shattered. Husband is on deployment somewhere in the deep blue sea, so I'm almost to the point of pulling my hair out (or screaming). I'm hoping to have a "steady positive" before I call to make an appointment. I'm so Not patiently waiting to go to the base hospital where they do mandatory blood test. Argh!!!
Britt, looking back i'm not sure what made me think we had think same cycles.. haha. Maybe because you were so late?.. But we are apparently ovulating together this month haha. I didnt have anything in my inbox from you.. :/
I sent you a message. Check your inbox. Didnt mean for it to become a book lol but it did.
TKS basically all you do is take your temperature first thing in the morning as soon as you wake up before getting out of bed or anything... No drink of water, no potty break, no talking lol nothing. Just take your temp with a thermometer (I like digital) and write it down on either a cycle chart or download an app on your phone (if you have a smart phone) that is a cycle tracker. I use ovuview on the android market but everyone is different and you just have you find one that you like. Also like Steph said med help has one called my days.... Anyways you can track all sorts of things on them if you want... you can start any time in the month but its best to start at the beginning of a cycle. Anyways you will see when you ovulate and based off previous cycles it can normally predict when you will ovulate. So yes I think we have very similar cycles. Do yours normally run a little longer around 32 days then??? You might pick up that book that I recommended to Donna. Taking Charge Of Your Fertility. I loved it. So informative and a quick read. Has tons of information and you can get it on amazon or ebay for normally like 6$ or something like that. Anyways anxious to see how the next few weeks play out for us all... :)
