BFP WARNING

Congrats to @paintdadanta and @CFearsy who got a BFPs this weekend!

CreechMommy

Thank you @BethKate2 I hope I get the job As far as TTC news: it's fertile week!!! So plenty of HIO for me and Mr. Creech I'm feeling good about our timing and we've been relaxing (still temping and OPK, but I haven't been stressing as much about our HIO schedule) Feeling optimistic so far!!

Elliecat17

Thanks for the check in @BethKate2 How are you lady?

Things here are going slow for us, we are just chillin in the hotel on our mini vaycay after working out and getting a swim in.

rmpar29

Hi @BethKate2!  How are you?

@CreechMommy - FX that you hear good news soon about the job!  Have fun this week! 

@mrandmrsk91011 - I'm glad that you and DH are on the same page with the BCP.  That game sounds fun!

@Elliecat17 - I hope you enjoyed your mini vaca!

@Amybunny30 - I can't wait to see your pics!  I hope you and DH get some good talking in soon.

AFM: Still TTAing.  Got out of town last week and meet up with another bumpie, so that was awesome!  Just hanging out for now.

rmpar29

@jj32 - Keeping my FX for you!  I always analyze my charts way too much as well. 

rslh10

@creechmommy Fx for you.

@mrsandmrk91011 glad you and dh are on the same page. 

@elliecat17 enjoy your mini vacay

@rmpar29 Glad you were able to get away for a bumpie visit. Sounds fun!

@amybunny30

@jj32 Fx for you.

AFM- I just scheduled my RE appointment for October 22nd.  I am going to spend the rest of today having all my records transferred to them. We are TTA until January of next year (unless something happens at the RE). I am hoping to have my blood work all retested and have anything else done that the RE thinks is needed. 

rmpar29

@rslh10 - I'm glad that you have an RE appt scheduled.  I hope that you can have some more testing done and get a plan in place.

rmpar29

@Greeneyes842 - Many (((((HUGS)))) love!  I hope your body quits screwing around soon so you can move on. 

MrsPhD83

Hiya @BethKate2! How are things going with the first med cycle?

@CreechMommy, GL on your interview! And yeah, it looks like you've had really good timing. FX'd for a temp rise and CHs soon!

@mrandmrsk91011, what is this dart ball you speak of?! sounds crazy and fun and something I would probably be better at if I were a little tipsy

@Elliecat17, hope you're enjoying vacay!

@Amybunny30, I'm glad you and YH are talking a little more about TTC. I hope you're able to come to a consensus in the not-so-distant future And please do post before/after pics of your reno!

@rmpar29, That's so fun that you had a bumpie GTG! Glad you enjoyed it.

@jj32, Cycle buddy!!!! Your charts always look so much more awesome than mine. lol. I have chart envy ^:)^  FX'd this is it for you!

@rslh10, I'm SO glad you got an RE appointment....and it's so soon! I hope they are able to give you some answers and help you come up with a plan that you're comfortable with.

@Greeneyes842, Glad you had fun on your trip! VT is beautiful this time of year. MH and I got engaged in VT this week 2 years ago. Gorgeous area! Also, I hope you get answers one way or the other soon. I'm sorry it's so frustrating!

AFM, 5DPO and driving myself crazy already! I thought my first couple of post-O temps were pretty low (like, lower than normal), but FF is keeping my CHs where they are. And after doing some serious chart comparisons, I think my post-O temps are just generally pretty erratic. There is no consistent pattern from month to month, or even consistency between PG cycles (the MMC and the CP). I had acupuncture this morning and when I showed her my chart (she adjusts her treatment based on temp patterns) she said "yeah there's no way you're PG based on these temps." And I'm all "Whoa whoa whoa....hold on. I'm only 5DPO. So, maybe there was fertilization. Maybe not. Look at my previous cycles. Even when I've gotten PG, my temps don't become consistently high until after implantation." She agreed. Not that we could possibly know one way or the other yet. lol. She told me I need to meditate and do a purge of my house. :-??  Whatev. I'm just glad I got to zone out and relax for 45 minutes! I'll be trying to stay away from the CT, and I won't be testing until Sunday. I think I'm going to try to have a girls night out soon. I need some relaxing and socializing!

JellicalParker

Hi ladies. At work, so I am going to have to respond to you all later.
@BethKate2‌ yes. I think FF is drunk. It put my crosshairs at cd 16, but the obvious temp shift was cd 14. Granted my whole chart is a disaster, but still the O looks obvious to me.

Let me know what you think. Then again, our timing was pretty bad no matter what...

@MrsPhd83 Aw thanks- my "pretty" charts have never worked in my favor though so don't be jealous of them.

How can your dr say that about your temps?  I have compared charts to my previous BFP chart and I had a cycle where temps matched almost the same.... and I was not KU'd. Lately my temps have been higher than that chart and it still has meant nothing. I would say it is hard to see if you get a +hpt just based off post O temps, especially at 5dpo.

@jj32, haha. I know your "pretty" charts don't necessarily work in your favor....but they're just so darn textbook! They look like the ovulation example charts on FF! Mine always look drunk.

Also, my acupuncturist is *definitely* not a doctor. lol. She uses body temp info to guide her approach to acupuncture, which is based on her training. Now, I don't entirely understand her training or believe in "aligning meridians" and all that jazz. But I like going for the relaxing effects. She's always trying to explain why acupuncture is effective and I nod and tone out. And I agree with you about the relationship between post-O temps and +hpt. I felt like I had to give her a primer in TTC and charting before she started sticking me. It was a weird morning.

rmpar29

@MrsPhD83 - I can't believe that your acupuncturist said that.  Wow!  I'm still keeping my FX for you!

BethKate2

@CreechMommy, GL again with the interview and GL this cycle too!

@mrandmrsk91011, families can be tough sometimes.

@Elliecat17, enjoy your mini vaca!

@Amybunny20, can't wait to see your pics!

@rmpar29, it's always fun to meet other bumpies!

@jj32, GL this cycle! Try to stay away from the FF chart gallery!

@rslh10, GL with the RE! You were seeing an obgyn up until this point, right? I'm sure you're going to see a huge difference in care at the RE.

@MrsPhD83, don't put much stock into what your acupuncturist said. 5dpo is way too early to know whether or not you're pregnant.

@JellicalParker, the high temps earlier in your cycle are skewing things, I think. You definitely had a temp drop on CD 14, but FF looks for 3 temps that are higher than the previous 6 to determine O.

BethKate2

As for me, I'm on day 4 of clomid. I haven't had any noticeable side effects, so that's a good thing. I'll take my last pill tomorrow, and then I head in for my first monitoring appointment (u/s and LH blood test) on Saturday. From there, my RE will decide if I need to come in again for more monitoring or if I'm ready to trigger and schedule the IUI. If all goes according to plan, my IUI will be at some point next week.

rmpar29

@BethKate2 - Good luck with your monitoring appt!

JellicalParker

@BethKate2 Good Luck! I hope the effects of your medicated cycle results in the best of things for you That's what I thought it might be. My temps have been extraordinarily high this cycle. But its  only my 1st full cycle temping. 

@CreechMommy FX for your timing! 

@mrandmrsk91011GL with dealing with your parents being so close! My dad lived with me for a year a couple years back. It was terribly infuriating. Not that I don't love him, but its even better now that he is across town! And to be honest, my mom is moving across the country from me this year. I couldn't be happier with her not breathing down my neck... Parents are nice for some things, but there are too many ways that they sometimes like to aggravate us.  

@elliecat17 have fun on your mini vacation! Make the most of your relaxation time! 

@amybunny30 I hope you and YH get to be more comfortable talking about it. It can take time to get adjusted to the idea of TTC again. Give him time. He will come around. 

@jj32 I don't even have charts of my own to compare to, but with the snot that FF has been to me this cycle I keep comparing it to ALL the charts I can find. I know how you are feeling. Have a relaxing evening with YH to distract you from the 2WW.

@greeneyes842 Sorry you are feeling down about the 12th cycle. FX that this cycle is it! Glad to hear you had fun on your trip though

@Mrsphd83 Interesting use of acupuncture and meditation. I may have to try that. At least the meditation part. Well FX for you! Hope your acupuncturist was wrong, but at 5DPO who knows! GL!

Any other ladies feel like chart stalking me? My temps are WAY high, and no I'm not sick...

BethKate2

Thanks, ladies!

Last clomid pill for me tonight! Then I get to start worrying about the trigger shot I need to give myself within the next week. Eek.

JellicalParker

@mrandmrsk91011‌ awww! Thanks! I heart you too!
