TTC Girl - March 2012

Amari - I am not sure about how much the amount of sperm up there sways in either direction. If it does at all, it is only a small percentage. Diet and maternal condition is the largest percentage of a sway and you have that part down pat!

Thanks Aurora! I couldn't wait to take my temp in the morning (of course I still will) because I was reading online that if you have a temp drop due to implantation it most likely will rise in less than 24 hours. So I took my temp at noon today, knowing it would be a few tenth's of a degree higher because I was moving around etc., but it was 98.98!!
That is a good sign. It went from 97.9 to 98.98 -- even my post o temps were only 98.4. Hopefully when I wake in the am they will start being 98.6-98.8 and then I will be really confidant having implantation dip and triphasic chart this month.

Feeling anxious. I have been relaxed up until now. I am just waiting to ovulate and it is making me really anxious. I feel like my opks are all over the place. I started feeling swelling in my ovaries and my cheap opks were getting darker, then with the u/s I saw that I had those follicles so that is why, but then this afternoon/this evening they started getting lighter again and I have had no smiley on the clearblue digital. I didn't expect to, no sharp O pain or anything, but I don't know why they are getting lighter, especially when the doctor said the follicles are big. She did say, when I asked, that it is possible that I could O as late as cd21 again. I guess it is just the waiting game that is making me feel this way. Then part of me is like, did I miss it? Or maybe I won't O at all?? I am starting to drive myself a little nuts. And on top of it, just when it matters most my appetite is through the roof. I can't even ignore it because I think I will actually faint and I have had to eat earlier in the day. Today I had to eat at 9:30 then at 3:30 and I will eat again at 8 and that will be it and I had to up my calories. I hope it doesn't ruin my sway. My weight was still down a bit this morning so maybe my body is just not happy with losing more. Sorry for this long rant, I just have nobody to talk to but you ladies! I've been so calm about this until today.

Amari maybe the hunger is o coming. Also AS has said the glucose needs to be low and it's not setting stone the breakkfast has to be skipped. Any meal can b just most people find it easiest to skip breakfast. Just make long stretches between and no snacks. And it's the overall pattern not one day.
Opks can be unreliable the u/s is not!! Go by that. Just relax and dtd daily. Tomorrow I will find a thread I bookmarked that u will feel good about dtd everyday. It is a convo with AS and PFP all about it.

[coocoobananas]

That was like me Amari! Starving the few days before ov and it was frustrating and I couldn't totally get a hold of it!! I was fighting that this was no time to cheat but I was sooooii hungry!!!

[amari]

Thanks, girls. Trying to put things in perspective and remain calm, lol! You're right, hope, rely on u/s. She said I WILL O, so I have to just trust in that and keep dtd even though I am dry as the sahara!

[Lassie1982]

Oh amari, try not to stress - yes I know that's easier said then done, but the more you relax the better your chances are of conceiving a girl.
Try and throw timing out the window and just dtd daily or twice daily, don't worry about catching your ovulation , just keep dtd and hopefully that, with the combination of less stress will make you bfp happen this month.
I've thrown timing out the window completely this month and have just started dtd and will do through to ovulation, am temping and opk ing but am not worried at all about when ov will actually be and I feel so so so much better then last month (because I am a panicking stress head)

I never actually knew about ye increased hunger around ovulation but that makes perfect sense!!!! And explains why I have been starving yesterday and today!!

Stick it out home an please please try to relax and I'm certain your bfp will be here before you know it xo
