December 2017 TTC & 2ww thread

Filzma looks like your app has simply put in cd11 as o day because of your pos opk on cd10. (By the way they look perfectly fine!!) There is not near enough temps yet to say either way. You can o anywhere from 12-72 (generally 12-48) hours after pos opk so it will be interesting to see what the next couple days temp do! That is a definate pos opk though. It's no problem ttc if you o on cd11, people have conceived from even earlier [emoji50] Can you post a daily screenshot of your chart over the next few days? We'll nut it out eventually [emoji6]

Hang on sorry that's saying you ovulated yesterday (I was looking at the grey line through cd11 as o indicator) Don't pay any attention to it because as I said before there is not near enough temps to determine that yet :)

You should download the free fertility friend app (that's all I ever used) its alot easier to read :)

Thanks pbn3 will keep tracking bbt and post on here. So is there any point of doing opks after o? Does this mean I’ll be chugging down robitussin with the lack of ewcm? Hope it tastes good![emoji38]
Thanks pbn3 [emoji177][emoji177][emoji177]

I'd keep doing opks for a few more days just to rule out a false surge plus give us a chance to see what your temps do.... will be good to know how long your lp is too so definately keep up the temping [emoji3]

To save you doing screenshots can you post a link to your chart that I can save (there's no access involved, its simply a link to view only your chart). At the top rh corner of your ff app press the dropdown menu (3 dots or dashes I think it is?) Select share chart and data, create/preview homepage. Press on the web address shown and your chart will open in your phone browser. Copy the link/web address and post into a comment in here :)

Pbn my hairdresser is always booked up esp coming up to Christmas. I havent had my hair done in months!! Every time I go to book something it ends up in the tww. I've cancelled other things before and then AF comes, it's a joke

Wondering whether I should try temping, what do you think? Also where do you all get your thermometers from?

Personally I wouldn’t. Temping just caused anxiety for me, and it’s the least reliable fertility sign (compared to opk’s and cm). My temps were a mess this last cycle, I couldn’t tell when I O’ed because they were all over the place, so that stressed me out too. If you do want to temp, you can buy a cheap basal thermometer at any drugstore. I know some women temp vaginally because of how variable mouth temping can be, so that’s something to consider too.

Girlsway im temping 3 years and i like it:)

Girlsway it depends on how you sleep. If you have to get up a lot at night I wouldn't bother, but if you get a decent sleep every night then go for it. I set my alarm and keep the thermometer right beside the bed as you don't want to move too much. Also you need at least 3 hrs unbroken sleep before you take it.
I got mine from boots but it's about 10 years old now! (this ain't my first rodeo)

Yea, this has to be a chemical. The lines simply are not getting darker at all after 3 days. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1db8751694.jpg

I just started temping 4 days ago. Vaginally as well. Got my thermometer off amazon. I forgot to do it the first morning but I’m already getting the hang of it.

BBB I feel good for the most part, only had four episodes of actual vomiting. Other than that hungry all the time and nausea til about noon. Can’t really complain at all.

How are you feeling?

Wow mommy2apples that’s not bad at all! I remember I lived under my duvet and by the toilet seat in the first trimester. No appetite whatsoever.
Heightened sense of smell?

ABC praying this is going to turn out right for you xx

Mommy I only ever vomited once or twice in each of my pregnancies but the nausea is horrendous, it lasted until 25 weeks with dd5 even through the night! Its good if you can eat you need to feed up that little bean!
I'm ok feel like I'm over this cycle already and just want to move on tbh

Abc, I have everything crossed that the line gets darker next time for you. It's so disheartening, a very similar thing happened to me in July.
BBB, I thought my chart was linked but it's disappeared.. I've no idea how to get it back lol
Pbn, my opk was negative on cd 13, ff has gone crazy [emoji23][emoji23]

I kind of feel I would stress myself out, hence why I haven’t temped so far.

ABC just give it a bit of time. You never know really. xx

Yes! Mummy i can see it now lol how many dpo do You think you are?

Smu. Seems a little darker.

I left a message with doc about running betas. If he's fine with it I'll probably go in tomorrow morning.

Thanks all for being so supportive and patient with me - I know there's nothing I can do but wait!!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...80244be5e2.jpg

Verena - I continue to exercise during the tww - although this time I cut back a little on the frequency and intensity (but I've also been sick too so that's part of it). I wouldn't think it would be a problem but like Pbn said if you're nervous maybe just cut back on the intensity a little. They always say if you work out/exercise before you get pregnant and your body is used to it, you can continue to do it during pregnancy.

Girlsway as you know temping for me has been pretty stressful. Can't say if it's worth it or not - it can be helpful in pinpointing O in lots of people but for some it's not really (like me!) If you do temp lots of women do it vaginally as it's suppose to be more accurate and consistent. I'm super squeamish about that so I've just taken it orally!

Mummy sorry that happened to you this summer :( It's so hard right?! Sigh. Hoping we both have sticky beans soon!!

Mommy - those pics I just uploaded aren't showing the line well but my SMU was def a lot darker than the FMU - and it's the darkest line I've seen so far. I remember you saying this is how yours were. That is really weird how there would be a difference between FMU and SMU (about 2.5 hours in bet). I even had a cup of coffee this morning which I'm sure diluted the pee a bit.

ABC I hope so much that line continues to darken. Can you get into your doctor for a beta?

Edit: just saw you already have thought about this :)

Thanks Greydore.

Ok one more pic: this is the progression over 24 hours (yes - I have a poas addiction)https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...365e8b64f8.jpg

ABC having had a stark white negative on a first response, that is definitely positive! I usually have to really squint to see lines when people post but I can see that!

ABC the bottom one is a lot easier to see. I had to zoom in on the rest but that one I can see as it is!

The lines are darker IRL - don't know why I can't get a better pic. Nevertheless - I feel a bit better now so I do want to go ahead with betas tomorrow if doc will do it.

Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

How long do results take?

If I get a blood draw tomorrow morning I should find out by Wednesday morning and then I'll do a repeat on Thurs and find out Friday maybe. Still waiting for doc to call so we'll see if he's willing though to check them this early.

Abc that looks great progression for 24 hours. Definately think 48 hour betas will help xo

Girlswaylondon I loved temping! I think it's a personality thing though. I always felt more in control than what I would call winging it (relying on opks and cm). I'm also going to disagree that its the least reliable indicator of o (sorry Greydore [emoji173]) I believe the opposite. You can o anywhere from day of to 4 days after a pos opk, you can have a false surge, you can gear up to o (get a pos) and not. Cm can also be a fickle sign, for me and others it can be like clockwork and start turning non fertile day of o and stay that way, but this for me was only confirmed to be happening from temping indicating the change consistently same day as o (sustained rise). In my opinion temping is the most reliable way to tell if and when you have oed. If you are going to try it then definately recommend vaginal temping straight off the bat. Also any long thin necked thermometer is fine but get one that measures to two decimal points. Try and temp same time each morning to within a half hour variance. You should be taking a temp after no less than 4 hours of solid sleep, preferably more of course :) Temp in bed, have the bbt on your bedside table or under pillow etc as you need to move as little as possible prior to taking temp. Use an alcohol swab/wipe to clean the thermometer after each temp. When switching to vaginal temping, I had a few practice goes and that was all it took to get the hang of it. Insert the thermometer alongside you finger up to the middle knuckle to get an idea how far to put thermometer in. You want the tip completely covered bit no need to poke your cervix [emoji6]

Hopefully back to sleep for me. Talk soon ladies [emoji3]

Edited: went back and reread some posts, Greydore sorry you said temping was least reliable 'fertility sign' and yes I've never ever considered temping as a sign, only a confirmation tool [emoji3] Apologies for my early morning brain fuzzines [emoji23]

I’m tempted pbn! I’m a stress head but thinking maybe if itll help me conceive then I should be doing it!
Is Ebay a bad place to buy a thermometer?

Ok so I just ordered one! Can’t hurt trying it and seeing how it goes, right?!

should I download fertility friend app? (Sorry major temping noob)

Yes! Its the easiest to use and interpret x

Its not really any help in conceiving girlswaylondon (bar not seeing a sustained spike and therefore can get another attempt in) it's really just a confirmation tool of when o has likely occured, how long after pos opk and from 6dpo onwards *may* start showing a pattern that can indicate a good chance of being pregnant (however I've seen even the most ordinary charts result in a bfp :) )

Not sure I'd recommend it for someone who's a 'stresshead' [emoji6], for me it was always less stressful knowing when I oed as opposed to assuming it was day after pos opk. Plus I like graphs and patterns and knowing when temps were in post o range etc

Why not try it out for a cycle and seehow you go? And yes ebay is perfectly fine for a bbt or amazon if you have it! If you like post a link or screenshot one you're looking at so we can say yay or nea [emoji16]

Gah just seen your update! Yes definately go with ff and once you have post a link to your chart [emoji3] (I posted instructions how to do it in here last night) and which thermometer did you end up ordering? Can you post a pic?
