Aug 2WW

Hello ladies! Popping in as I'm waiting to O. I may be just off/on on here because being away was so relaxing and less stressful! But, I miss you guys and your support. �� Hopefully BFPs for everyone!

Mommamia - I'm in the same boat. Bumped up to 100mg this cycle, and I didn't temp because I figured I'd save myself the hassle knowing I wasn't going to so before/on Clomid. So I started temps and OPKs CD12. Last cycle I O'd CD17, but today I had a jump up, which is a similar temp to my first post O temp, and it's CD14. And my OPKs were SO negative (wondfos). I know tomorrow's temp will be a better indicator but I'm in the same boat with you - hang in there!

Maybe we will end up being testing buddies! And thanks to Pbn who was my testing buddy last cycle I have the Aussie time diff figured out lol ;) If nothing else at least we will both have someone to survive the wait to O with :D

I know!! I wish AF was here now but thats about another 4 or 5 days away. Im predicting next months O day is around 20-23 just have to keep testing. Best of luck to us

Thanks taytum! I am thinking that I am actually going to O on Friday which will be cd17. I have had much more cramping today and yesterday. I have noticed that I tend to O with the full moon, lol! Crazy, huh?

fx for you momamia! Are you doing the one attempt?

Pbn3, I've decided to throw caution to the wind and do multiple attempts. DH mentioned that he is ok if we don't have any more kids, so I am thinking this is going to be the last cycle I can get him to ttc. He didn't really want to try for more and it took a lot of convincing for me to get him to agree to my tubal reversal. So, it seems like the stress of ttc has taken a toll on him. I have to skip the next two cycles anyway, so I decided to just give it our all this month and see if I can even get pregnant. Historically, I have a high risk of miscarriage and I'm not sure how DH will respond if that happens. He flip flops a lot on the topic, so I tried to sway while I had time. Now it is kind of at the point where I really want a baby and I'm not sure how long I can get DH to cooperate. So, we've been dtd every day since cd10. Sorry for the long winded response, lol! On the plus side, I finally got my peak today!!! It's just the same as last month, so I'm confident it will actually happen tomorrow!! :)

Well I definitely hope to see a bfp from you momamia!!

I'm curious to get some input. You all may or may not be able to answer but it is worth a shot. I don't know if I have ever mentioned this in the 2WW threads butt I have issues with malabsorption due to some tummy issues. So I have been thinking about the clomid. When I took it 6 years ago I O'd around CD 17 I think. This was before my tummy issues came to be. I took the same dosage as I take now. So I have been pondering on whether I could be less receptive/responsive to the clomid either due to my tummy problems (like maybe I am not absorbing it well) or if maybe it is just because of the fact I am 6 years older now :shrug:

I can't do anything about the fact that I am older so I have been trying to think of way to increase absorption. When I was preg with my angel DD I had to take progesterone sups, but because of my issues I have to take it vaginally (not fun... at all) but it was a gel cap so I honestly don't know if a regular pill would dissolve and absorb "down there" like a gel cap so I don't know if that is an option. The other idea I have come up with is crushing the pill and then taking it, but I don't know if that would help with absorption or not. I start taking them tomorrow (CD 3), and I will probably call the pharmacy tomorrow to get some feedback from the pharmacist but I was curious if you all might know if either of those options would work, or happen to know of another option to increase the absorption of pills? I never know which camp I am going to be in with regards to pills and such. Some things I absorb a little too well, and others I have to take high doses of to get any benefit. Since I am stuck taking 50 mg again this cycle I want to do everything I can to make sure my body gets the most benefit from it. So any ideas from you all?

Sorry two I'm clueless about this but hope you get some ideas from here or pharmacist :) It's a shame I haven't seen Maiden post for awhile as she might be able to answer this one :(

Hey guys... I got my bfp before August so I won't be posting much on this thread... but I'll be looking to see you guys' bfp! ♡♡♡♡♡ baby dust to all!

Two- is your absorption issues mainly in your small intestine, large intestine, or stomach?

All of the above. I have two issues going on one affecting the upper portion of my digestive tract and the other affects the lower portion.

I called the pharmacist and he said to crush it. He said with my issues that would help me absorb it better and possibly more rapidly before my stomach has a chance to revolt and cause my system to flush (nicest way I can put it). I have been taking it without food in an effort to keep my stomach from becoming unhappy (food and my stomach are not always on "speaking terms") but I still have to battle the fact that I don't absorb things well so crushing it will hopefully do the trick.

Yay!! My temp finally went up!!! :)

Two, I agree with crushing it. FX that helps!!

YAY! :fx:

OMG that pill tastes horrible crushed! Attachment 26499 Going to have to put it in something from now on because that was DISGUSTING and now I cant get the taste out of my mouth! And my tongue feels funny too... kinda like it is numb or something... weird.

Oh no!!!!

Sorry two ..hopefully your body will absorb it better now

I would try putting it into some apple juice. I agree that crushing it is the way to go for you. I used to be a Pharmacy Technician in a former life, research scientist, and am currently a science teacher on sabbatical until my DH is through writing his dissertation[emoji6]!


[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170]

On CD 10 now... Attempt will most likely be on 13/14. I have such a short luteal phase since being on supplements.
I hope we all get our BFP this time around!

Grr. No real answer to O. My temps are in my post O range (usually my CL is 97.6), but I've been temping an hour later than usual to try to give myself less stress. And no positive OPKs in sight. I could have already O'd, damn. Will keep BDing and temping until it's clear (or I go in next week for bloods).

Did I ever mention I hate TTC? ��

You are in good company lol. Hopefully things will clear up soon, but at least you have BW to look forward to if the confusion continues. :FX:

You are in good company Taytum. Hopefully the confusion clears up soon, but at least you have BW coming up if nothing else. That should clear things up for you. :FX:

I didn't get a positive opk either this BFP cycle! I think it's a fab idea to keep BDing until you either get a clear temp shift or after BW.

FX and tons of my blue baby dust [emoji597][emoji92][emoji170][emoji843][emoji170][emoji94]!!


[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170]

It's funny you say this - I always think back to your BD and chart when I'm not feeling solid about my attempt or chart. You always give me hope! FX there's a good indicator in the next few days! My plan was to stop temping after confirmed O to not stress and that hasn't worked out well lol.

I'm Xing everything that this is your BFP cycle!!!

So I'm going from a weird as post o chart last cycle to a weird as pre o chart arrgghh!! Does anyone know how much alcohol affects your temping? I had a blowout yesterday and drank a bottle of wine (over a 6 hour period though) and had drunk what I thought was heaps of water a couple hours b4 bed. I'm on cd6 and don't expect to o until cd11, 12 or 13 but had a 0.5 degree shift up this morning!!! (This is not an o temp shift.) Anyone else seen similar on their chart? Also decided to start checking cervix this cycle... had to google how lol, seriously the things we do ttc!!! Will attach screenshot of chart. Just didn't think a single wine night blowout would result in such a temp shift!! In saying all this I had to get up at 2.00am to see to ds2 and my temp was only 36.3, but I got back to sleep and took temp again just after 6am and it was 36.6??? checked it again 15 mins later and was the same.Attachment 26512

Your "shift" is actually only about .1 if you factor in other temps... wouldn't even qualify as an O shift as that requires a .2 shift above your last 6 temps. I can't weigh in for certain on the alcohol because I am what you call a "cheap date" lol, I get drunk with not very much alcohol at all so I don't really drink enough for it to affect my temps. However, a bottle of wine (assuming it is avg sized) *could* be enough to affect your temps. Someone else will have to weigh in here but I'd made a note of the alcohol the day before and the double temp so that if later you see it is really messing up your chart you can "disturb" it. According to the days you mentioned O is at least 5 days away and only the last 6 temps count toward your determination of O so it may not even be an issue.

Thanks two I know for sure its not an o shift just surprised at the jump in temp pre o. My temps normally do stay higher till af finishes (since ds2) but then normally stay lower so this spike has me curious...guess I'll see what tomorrow brings. I just remembered I set the heating to a degree higher last night but surely that wouldn't come into it as my 2am temp would have been the norm or close to but anyway I'm not going to stress on it :)

Yeah, don't stress about it at all :) Temps sometimes go weird on us that is why they say to look at the big picture instead of temp by temp.

AFM- As you may be able to tell, my insomnia is in overdrive :( It is 5 am here and I am still wide awake. Fortunately AF is still being a thorn in my side so temping isn't an issue. I even tried eating as sometimes getting my belly full makes me sleepy. But no luck :( I am yawning like a crazy person but the moment I lay down to try to get to sleep I might as well have guzzled a pot of coffee. My boys will be up in a couple hours. Fortunately DH is off tomorrow... well actually today lol, by some miracle so he can take kid duty if I can ever manage to get to sleep.

Geez I hope you do get some sleep two!! I was shattered today and so annoyed as I was laying on coach with eyes closed trying to have a nap and heard ds1 saying 'wake up daddy!' so I told dh to just go and have a sleep in bed as one of us has to stay awake to look after kids!! Men!!!! I don't think I've had a decent 8 hour sleep since ds2 was born but anyway lol :):):)

Pbn3- alcohol can totally increase your temps if you have more than a couple of drinks! If I have more than one, I know to put an open circle on my temp and call it good!

FX and GL!!!
