Go ahead and take your temp, but you just make a note that it may not be totally accurate. Most of the time it will not make any difference (and certainly not at the part of yoru cycle you are in right now).
It doesn't matter what positiion you lay in for temping.
If your baby is only 14 months old and you will not be TTC for some time, please don't worry about your weight, wait till you're closer to your sway.
I would use the IC's especially since you are not TTC for awhile. The Clearblues are WAY too expensive to use just for practice.
You will learn how the lines work over time, it's pretty easy. You'll spend a small fortune on Clearblues if you are trying to use them as practice.Quote:

How soon before TTC should I look at my weight?
I was considering doing it sooner cause of girls are made in warmer months thing? Although, I conceived my son in late June so? That and I'm not exactally thrilled about missing out on holiday food ha! Lol ill do it it's just not fun lol (I usually go crazy baking at that time)
I'm gonna get out my laptop and see if I can read up and make a plan. Man, this is soo interesting yet confusing to me.
Trying to figure out what would be our best.
Yes, pretty much - internet cheapies, you can buy cheap packs of cheap OPK online and then use them really freely without having to break in a cold sweat every time you POAS because you're spending $12 LOL
I think anywhere between 6-12 weeks before you are ready to TTC, is time to start thinking about weight loss/diet. I think I may have misunderstood what you were saying - I thought I'd read you said your son was 14 months and you were going to TTC when he was 2, but maybe you were trying to have a baby before he turned 2 meaning you'd be TTC soon???
Pretty close, actually I'm not entirely sure when's the best time.
I'm not sure what all comes into play. Kind of just got period back.
Is it better to like enjoy food now, while get my teeth taking care of and wait giving my appendectomy time and his Cdiff time? Change our diets more gradual?
Some say you have better chance conceiving girl like Mar-May. Is that true?
Or Is it best to start our new diets while im getting my teeth taken care of and adjust everything to maybe ttc (6-12 weeks) September anniversary ?
I'm trying to decide whats best. Any thoughts?
My crystal ball is in the shop this week so I can't tell you what will be best. Since some pretty major issues are in play, my inclination would be to wait (at the least till you're 100% sure your appendectomy is better).
You might want to consider going fully vegetarian now, while keeping protein, fat, and cal intake normal.
The info about the months and TTC is in this essay: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...s-swaying.html
Wow! There's soo much to it. I think I need to calm down breathe. My tummy hurts (feel like i could throw up) but that could be this drainage (ugh, this weather always messes with me)
Maybe I need to simplify this a bit or something. Taking in all at once is overwhelming and that's not gonna help. I know I can handle it if I have a good plan. It's just Soooo much info.
I have a call into Surgeon and should hear back like tomorrow. I'm calling dentist later this week and possibly my primary care Dr.
I'm talking to a local mom who has had multiple children and is looking into a Doula and Birth Center. Shes very nice abs keeping posted. Doula sounds
intriging. Since I got the bajeezers scared outta me last time I gave birth. I mean not listening to me or looking at the U/S I had that they lost and putting me 2 weeks ahead if what I actually was! And wanting to use that Dangerous stuff! Yikes!
I'm so trying to find a healthy outlet and not let this Sway (pardon the term) me from having another child.
I need to get some relaxation going on. Not sure what.
Oh n saw your comment on what my mom ate. So I'm thinking this is the way to go for me! Even if its just a little wishful thinking its the right direction I believe.
Tuna casserole ok on LE? I asked DH we are getting Membership for year. And we will deffinatly be looking into more.
Just lied there with pillow under hips propped up when got DS. So thinking may have to change that too. DH asjed how donyou di shallow Lol
And didn't ask mom what she did that maybe TMI for her. Funny thing is doesn't bother me one bit I look at it like Science! But then I think my Additude changed Major after Giving birth! I swear after Everything was out there I lost all care for Modesty!
Lol
Thanks Again!!
Think of it this way - you still have like 8 months before your son even turns 2, and that is A LOT of time. You don't need to understand this stuff today, tomorrow, or even a week from now, over the course of time it is going to fall into place.
Tuna casserole can be ok as a part of LE Diet but you will need to eat it in moderation.
Don't worry about propping hips or shallow release for now. There is a lot to learn about and read about and those are kind of last minute decisions - no need to stress about that for now.
Yeah, I tend to obsess I think and get tunnel vision. And think I need to get this right or I could fail. I'm kind of a weird cross mix like I'm doomed.
Like, I'm asking too much. Don't get my hopes up but ooohh soo want? I can't win?
Maybe I need to Stop , focus on enjoying the summer, acimplish somevthings in iur home (like the playroom) and revisit in fall hopefully, then Ill still have time?
Then I start to worry that that'll raise my T? Oh brother
