LOL! I will work on it! I am 8w and umm... 2 days now. It goes crazy fast I think. I'll be curious to see if I get a dating scan tomorrow what the EDD is off of that. This is the 1st pg when I've actually known my ovulation date, so I will be surprised if it varies much from 3/5.

I get so warm and fuzzy on the inside when I think about March babies. My DD2 was born on March 22 (that's Cheeky's EDD, I believe) and I just LOVED having a baby in March. Spring is such a beautiful time for birth, with everything coming to life and blooming and Easter on the horizon, I just love it.

Yes, absolutely PTL! Quick question for the ladies w/ experience on BBTing and I will read through the other posts a bit later today.

Are you guys continuing or took your BBT? I had the recent (scare for me) of light bleeding and feeling off in the tummy area (still do) and the other part that is bugging me, is that my temps have been dropping daily on FF and today it went below the coverline which is not helping put my mind at ease. Should I just stop taking my temps at this point, is it not accurate or could it be showing I'm in danger of m/c still based on temps?

Hun, I would drop temping. It will just make you stress like now. Sometimes they get wacky for no reason....maybe you were cold last night or who knows. But don't worry, your hcg levels tell you that everything is growing, so no need to worry about an erratic temp.

How do you mean your tummy doesn't feel right?

ladies is it OK to fast 3,4 days until O then dtd ???

Personally, I would not do that at all. I guess it depends on how strong you want your sway to be, but my BIGGEST thing right now is following the high-everything and TW hypothesis. I don't want my body to think there is famine at all! Is it for religious reasons?

Hopeful, thanks for the encouragement! I would definitely trust your digis, and not worry about the lines looking light.

Daisy, so funny your mom is on the IBC board! You have probably watched many of my dancers there. My Artistic Director won the first IBC ever. Small world! Do your girls do ballet? I used to live in New Orleans, by the way, so I was about MS quite a bit (mostly the beach), but I love Jackson!

Layla, YES, test tomorrow! FX these are good pg symtoms! Both you and Alexis need to start some peein' on a stick!

As for me....my opk just went super positive. Hooray for Clomid! I am curious now as to whether we should dtd tonight as planned or wait till tomorrow morning? We have the day off tomorrow AND the kids are in Cali with their father (and they are having fun, Tink, thanks for asking!), so it would be perfect timing. What would you all do? Basically, we dtd on CD10, and today is CD12 and we *were* planning on doing it every other day till day 16 or 18 or whenever I am sure I o'ed. Now, come to think of it, I will O tomorrow. Look at my chart (I did temp this month for the hell of it.)! Just for kicks, what would you all do? (See, this is a perfect example of how you get to your attempt and then get cold feet about your "plan"....thank goodness for this village of knowledge and comraderie, no???)

i asked this question too a while ago since ramadan is coming up. i dont think it would be a good idea to fast either esply if you are trying to increase minerals and overall intake. sounds very sinful i know, but im taking a break this yr myself. God forgive me.

you are right but in my case its just 2 or 3 days , so should i not fasting for these days ??

[gizmo77]

maybe just make sure to eat as much as you can after you break your fast. wake up earlier in the morning and eat more than you normally would to try to keep your BS high. you are better than me :-) tho i do feel extremely guilty. ive missed the last 2-3 yrs due to pregnancy/breastfeeding. :-(

Just popped in as i'm away from home. Wow exciting about clomid, i dont know what to suggest for dtd. Tomorrow morning might be better but then again what if you ovulate early hrs of morning before dtd. When do you think you'll ovulate. Maybe go for it late late tonight then that way you'll catch the egg.
