Jubilant July 2WW

[Pbn3]

Just so you know once you get a solid smiley you dont need to and can't test again anyway (well for two days the smiley will stay on the screen) So will you be using the cb dual hormone digi opks again this cycle? And woohoo for getting a solid on cd14 😀😀 not long to go then until you'll be in the 2ww 🎉🎉

Temping can be really helpful if you're open to trying? Just get a thermometer that reads to 0.00 (two decimal points) but a 0.0 thermometer will suffice as well If you think you'd like to try it I cant recommend vaginal temping enough. Oral temping is open to far more variance woth environmental, open breathing factors etc. At least if you temp vaginally you know its accurate It might seem a big leap for first time temping though but let me know what you think and we can guide you through how to do it

So when will first bd happen to get the e3d ball rolling?

I forgot to mention that I have been taking metformin for a few months now. I used to have dreadfully long cycles but they have shortened a bit since starting the metformin.

If your ob says its ok or recommends to take both metformin and femara together then I would keep using it

I do plan on using them again, I just have to order more!

I am open to temping, I will try to order a thermometer within the next couple of days! I am open to vaginal temping. Once I get my thermometer I will definitely need some guidance on that!

I can only get DH to agree to e3d from CD 9-17. He was at the dr appt when the dr said those are the ferile days, and that has stuck in his head. He says otherwise he just cant go by a plan!

That's perfectly fine and you should be covered nicely during those cd's We'll know for sure if your temping which I'm super excited to hear you're willing to try!! Try and get a thermometer asap and once you do we'll be able to guide you through what to do and also how to share your chart link for those of us that like to stalk charts 👀✋

Okay I just ordered the thermometer through amazon, so it'll be here on Wednesday! I'm excited to learn the world of temping!

I may as well start and anyone else can chime in with more advice or tips 😀 ok so insert the thermometer so that the tip is fully covered. I like to suggest inserting the thermometer alongside a finger to the middle knuckle as practice to get an idea how far to insert. That way you're definitely covering the tip without poking the cervix 😂 Buy or order some alcohol swabs/wipes to clean the thermometer with after each use Make sure you have a few practice goes the day you receive your thermometer as it will feel odd the first few times but will quickly become normal! Try and temp around the same time each morning when you wake (within say a half hour bracket) but still temp if you need to get up earlier or sleep in, the temp will record as an open circle so we'll know something was different that day. If you wake a couple hours earlier but don't get up and fall back asleep then temp closer to your usual time. But if you need to get up to pee then take your temp before moving too much. That's really all I can think of at the moment but please ask any questions you may have! I'm excited 😀😀

Okay my only concern is that I wake up early every morning and get DH out the door for work. Then I go back to sleep for atleast 2-3 hours. So would I be good to temp once im awake for the day or do I need to do it before I wake him up every morning?

Sorry, I should have said do it after your longest sleep so that will be when you wake up dh and go back to sleep for 2-3 hours

Lola - Thanks....yeah I think I'll end up caving and testing tomorrow....potentially 8dpo, so too early, but they're in the house and calling me!

Mommy2apples - sounds like a great celebration!

LMSM - Yes love the value pack! Wish they sold them at supermarkets....much easier sneaking them into your trolley than going to the checkout just for tests (I always worry I'll bump into someone). Never heard of riverfire! We have fireworks for all different occasions too....often illegally on the beach too! haha

Mtolbert1 - Welcome! Hope you get your baby girl soon. I bought a plan from Atomic which was really helpful. The diet for PCOS swaying for a girl is quite different. I have PCOS and swaying for a girl too. I'm on my second cycle of clomid (first was a blighted ovum). I'd recommend buying a plan and then you can message Atomic whenever you need to.
It's awesome that you're going to temp...teaches you so much about your body and helps you to feel in control.

Pbn3 - don't worry about encouraging me to test early.....I encourage myself!

AFM - sore throat and feeling like I'm getting sick. Could be a good sign, or I could be just sick LOL. Went and looked at a car today and cannot wait to decide on one. Just need to wait for our car to be picked up next weekend.

Please tell me your an early riser Iwant4kids!!! I cant wait!! Even with logic telling me it's too early there is always an exception somewhere and hopefully you are it tomorrow!!

So what kind of cars are you looking at? We have an X-trail that just fits in 3 car seats if I wiggle and maneuver them the right way 😉 It will feel very weird having ds2 in the middle, scary almost as there will be nothing between him and the windscreen 😦 I wish we could afford a 7 seater or minivan.... maybe we'll win lotto before bub is born 😂
