TTC boy Feb 2012 chit chat thread

[love being a mummy]

lbam - have you been temping? I remember you tried doing it a while back and gave up because you kept forgetting? If you have an alarm clock or you can set an alarm on your phone to remind you to do it every morning i think that would help. Are you doing OPT's? A longish cervix is not a fertile sign, it has to be soft and the entrance has to be wide enough so that you could dip the tip of your finger in there. Its normal for your CM to switch from cloudy to EW a couple of times before O. What CD are you on now?

No I haven't been tempting, I haven't been doing anything cause I am not swaying this cycle just going with the flow and see what happens. Yeah it is normal for my CM to switch back and forth all the time.

LBAM, like Cinss said, I would really look at going back to temping and using OPKs. Otherwise you really can't be sure when you O. And if you don't know when you O it's going to be harder to conceive. Temping and using OPKs will really help you I think. You just need to motivate yourself to do them!

If I am not pregnant this month I am thinking of having a few months off, so I will probably start using OPT and try to temp next time I ttc.


So I went to the toilet and when I wiped I had some EWCM on the toilet paper and that hardly ever happens, usually have to check my cervix to find some.
My cervix feels softer then usual so not sure if O is happening.
We haven't DTD for about 5days so think we should do it tonight just incase, what do you think?

[Plum3]

Yep I would do it, LBAM!

[love being a mummy]

Well we didn't DTD hubby was too tired from work and he has a tooth ache and been on anti biotics.
I thought thats ok, I am not very confident this month, we DTD 5-6 days ago so if I am Oing now I should be safe not to fall pregnant and I was ok with my decision.
BUT my friend just had a baby yesterday and she sent me some pics tonight and awwwwwww I am so clucky now I wish we had DTD

Thank you to everyone who looked at my chart. I have never had an Anovulatory Cycle before, but doing google searches it seems it is quite common. Never mind, i will just keep eating eggs and drinking pills blah blah blah.

I'm so sorry you didn't O I know how hard it is to keep on swaying another month. FX for your next cycle!!!

[Yahmama]

We DTD last night...my cm was going ew and ct was soft, but for some reason, cp wasn't as high as it usually is. My temp was up this morning, so glad we went ahead and dtd last night since my lowest dip in temp was yesterday morning. Guess I'll have to see what my temps do the next few days and see where FF pinpoints it...

[LolaInLove]

Bec, hope your test shows a nice high level! Cramps and all sound like a good sign!

I am only a few dpo, but I'm not even thinking about it this month. I got my hopes up way too high last month because I thought we had a good try, but it's really best for me to assume I am not pg each month so I don't have such an emotional roller coaster.

Hobber, please don't get disappointed about anything yet......you could be all worried and upset for the next 10 weeks only to find out that it is a boy and you tortured yourself for nothing. Try to stay on the fence about it if you can and stay positive....I think it is better for your baby for you to feel good inside.

[babyblessings]

Totally agree LiL this really can feel a bit like a rollercoaster of a ride at times!
and I also agree with what you are thinking .. keeping positive, but not letting hopes get way too high is definitely the way to keep sane in all of this! Hang in there Hobbermittens, its the unknown for now... easier said than done, but try hard to keep positive.

Yahmama - excited for ya!!
Cinss, really hoping that your next cycle is THE one!
LBaM - I truly believe that we are guided through all of this, so maybe, if you had DTD, it wouldn't have been what you were crossing fingers for If you do decide to take a break from all of this, enjoy a little time away from the rollercoaster ride! I must say that my recent 'timeout' was really good for me! I seemed to get a renewed enegry for all the temping etc...
Bec, FX for you!!!
MFC - good luck!
TTC5 - whats happening your end?

I am still 'practicing' with all the different elements... almost positive I o'd yesterday - finding the ovulation microscope really effective! Checking 4 times a day and when I O, its so clear! the transition in and out of O is really obvious to me! Had O pains the day before (actually felt swollen!) and LOADS of EWCM last 3 days. Cerv very high and soft yesterday. It was two days early according my previous cycle so I am quite glad I am checking this all out a few months in advance of our attempt! not sure yet if my cycles are still trying to stabilise, or if I am just irregular! Only problem I seem to have right now is my low pH :-(

[Flava]

OMG Flava I am so excited for you!!! Yay!! I was so disappointed we never got to TTC together, now we can!!!

When will you try?I go after second AF so I think in mid March? not sure when is it have to start temps. yuck...

[Flava]

Oh I had a feeling you guys would keep trying!!!!!!!! So excited for you!!!

Good you had a feeling because we didn't lol Was really thinking we are done.
I love your new ticker!

[Flava]

hobber-for sure you can have a boy in there!

just like ttc5 but for some reason I think she is a done deal , she got a boy.

lbam- we have to start temping I so hate that alarm...and thinking oh if I was up to pee then now this temp is not right? ugh...I don't care I will only temp just to see my cycle and I pee all night if I want to! lol

For the weight loss yeah I lost 18 lbs but still have 19 left on me lol. I just eat very little and run around outside with the kids. This is the only cooler time around here so we can go out!
