  • **Question**

    Month/Cycle: 2/2

    CD: 17

    WAYDTGKU: temps, OPKs, green tea, PreSeed; HIO EOD

    R/R/CS: first, a rave: temp drop today (EVEN with the little oven kitty sleeping next to me again). Woohoo!!

    *question(s):

    1. Does temp drop the day after O or the day of O?

    2. I had a big temp drop today (CD17), and had a positive OPK on CD 15 (then negative CD16); plus EWCM on CD 15 and 16 (although the EWCM on CD16 was thicker and stickier...sorry if TMI). So my question is...we were shooting for HIO EOD. Would you still HIO one more time to be safe, or do you think it's a safe bet to stop now? I know FF said to keep having sex until you get your CH, but quite honestly we're getting exhausted of it.

    On a side note, I remember last time I was on the bump when we TTC #1, we would periodically have a form "newbie questions" where people could ask all of these questions and people would help out. I feel like I need that because I'm sure I'm annoying you guys with my daily questions in this thread. I'm sorry about that, but I truly do appreciate all of the help!!


    GTKY: just one piercing in each ear currently. I've had my belly button pierced 3 times (first the top, then that closed, then had that re-pierced, then that closed, then had the bottom pierced). No tattoos for this girl.

    WAYDTGKTFU: PNVs, green tea, temping

    R/R/CS: Thanks for the CS's yesterday. I've decided to stay over here and call my one day of flow CD 1. This seems like a better place for me as a definitely-not-pregnant person. I'm now on day 4 of spotting but feel like a real AF could be coming soon based on my cramps. I also temped again and temps are in my normal pre-O range.

    GTKY: I have a bluebird of paradise tattoo on my back. 5 years later I still love it. I got it in Australia, and it's similar to the tattoo sailors used to get when they crossed the equator for the first time. It became trendy as a t-shirt design a couple of years after I got it but that seems to be winding down now. I also have my belly button pierced but will ditch that soon.

    WAYDTGKU: All the things

    R/R/CS: Had another positive OPK yesterday (though not as strong as CD14's), but temp has been ~the same the last three days. Looking for that temp spike! C'mon, temp spike!

    GTKY (I apologize if this has been used already - it was but it was months ago): Do you have any piercings or tattoos? My ears are pierced and I wear a hoop in my left cartilage. No tattoos.

    @JamieK1882 1. Temp doesn't necessarily drop, but if it does it is on the WTO side of O. Either before or day of but not after (as O is identified by a consistent temp shift of at least three temps that are higher than the previous six temps, give or take). 2. HIO! If you're up for it, do it. You don't want to be kicking yourself in a week if this was an LH surge that didn't result in O.

  • @JamieK1882 1. If your temp does drop its the day of O, or before. Keep in mind that the drop is not what confirms O, it's the sustained rise after. 2. If you can, I would definitely HIO at least one more day and see if you get a temp shift tomorrow. As PP said, you would hate to be kicking yourself later.
    Hang in there! :)

  • @JamieK1882 I think others have answered better than I could as I only have 1 month of temping under my belt but last month my temp dropped the day of O and then rose the next few days

    That being said my temps are so all over this month so next time I think I will begin temping vaginally

    WAYDTGKU: everything we can

    R/R/CS: I leave for a business trip tomorrow afternoon to FL. I'm worried this will affect my already jagged chart/temps and in addition, I'm in the middle of FW so kinda bummed. We'll HIO before i leave and when I come back Friday night so hoping that's enough to make it pretty decent timing. Starting getting high fertility on CB digital yesterday but wondfo opks still negative -

    GTKY (I apologize if this has been used already): Do you have any piercings or tattoos?

    I have my ears pierced and I do have 1 tattoo on my right rib cage in honor of my mom who passed. It's of a cross with wings and surrounded by sunflowers which were favorite and has Mom written on the cross. (I apologize if pic is huge; I'm on mobile and cant adjust-pic is of same day I got it so it's a bit red)

    WAYDTGKU: All the things

    R/R/CS: so I'm really confused and annoyed with my body. Yesterday FF gave me dotted crosshairs on CD 12.....this morning my temp was way low and it took my CH away so here I am. CS welcome. Right now I'm feeling discouraged and don't really feel like keeping up with HIO and OPKs etc. I hope I'm not having an anovulatory cycle. I was so excited to have an ovulatory cycle after my loss.

    GTKY: I have three tattoos, and I regret every single one of them. I went through a strange phase between the ages of 18-21. Tattoos can be beautiful, but mine are not. I had piercings at that time, too.

    CD: 10 and still spotting :(

    WAYDTGKU: all the things... Hopefully including Bd soon

    R/R/CS: ugh.... Still spotting. Spotted 3 ish days prior to AF as well... So 13 days total now. There isn't any more red, so I think it is winding down. Time will tell.

    GTKY (I apologize if this has been used already): Do you have any piercings or tattoos?

    Double ear lobe piercings and a cartilage piecing up top on one side. I use the love piercings daily. The second holes have the diamonds studs DH got me in our wedding day (they are screw back so I don't have to worry about losing them). In the main hole I swap out whatever inexpensive earrings I feel like wearing but won't be heartbroken if I lose. I got the cartilage piercing in high school with a friend of mine. The only reason I keep a small stud in it is because it took forever to heal and not be tender... Like YEARS. I feel like now I can't let it close up (15 years later lol).

    No tattoos.... I have been a little nervous about getting one. Both of my sisters have psoriasis that seemed to flare up/ appear about the time they each for their first tatoos. On sister has only one but the other has a few. Since she is out of college and actually making money now she has started to get the crappier ones covered up. The only time I considered a tattoo was about a year ago when i lost my sweet dog to cancer. I got her in college and for a while she and I were a team until I started dating DH. I was heartbroken and quite frankly probably should have seen someone for depression. I still think about getting something small and subtle just for me to think of her. Maybe a freckle colored paw print on the inside of my wrist.

  • **TW - question about previous pregnancies**


    Month/Cycle: 2/2

    CD: 1 :(

    WAYDTGKU: just the usual. Going to start OPK this month I think.

    R/R/CS: I hate AF.

    GTKY (I apologize if this has been used already): Do you have any piercings or tattoos?

    Yes I do! I have my ears done twice (used to be 3), my Tragus in my right ear and my belly button.
    Plus I have a small star tattoo on the inside of my ankle and a symbol on my left hip that no one ever sees.

    Question: has anyone been previously pregnant and left their belly button ring in?! DH wants me to take it out but I like it. Wondering how other people managed. I know this is a TTC board just wondering if others have had precious pregnancies and have kept the piercing.
    If not - do any of you belly button ladies plan to keep yours in or take it out?

    GTKY (I apologize if this has been used already): Do you have any piercings or tattoos?
    Just my ears for piercings. I have a small tattoo in Latin that means "while I breathe, I hope." I should probably spend some time thinking on that this week!

    WAYDTGKU: Ordering more OPKs. 

    R/R/CS: I'm bummed because October is my favorite month and it would've been so perfect. I did have my shortest yet cycle at 34 days so that's something...  

    GTKY (I apologize if this has been used already): Do you have any piercings or tattoos? I've had multiple piercings in my ears but they've all closed up except for the standard two. I also had a belly button piercing which I took out 8 years ago and the hole still remains, which bothers me sometimes. I think about getting a small tattoo sometimes but I likely never will.

    R/R/CS: FINALLY made it to this thread. I feel like I was in limbo between the TWW and WTO for eternity, knowing that I wasn't going to get a BFP. That was my longest cycle (41 days) since going off BC several months ago. I feel for everyone with longer cycles, that wasn't fun at all.

    GTKY: Do you have any piercings or tattoos? My parents pierced my ears for my 5th birthday. In high school I got my belly button and my cartilage pierced, but recently took out the earring so now it's closed. No tattoos, though I think about it semi-often. I've got a few ideas, but haven't really investigated much further than that. 

    @kristah2 I know someone who kept her belly button ring in for her pregnancy, her doctor said it was fine.

    @cjt121413 sorry your body is confusing you! I wouldn't count yourself out, yet. There's definitely still hope at CD 16!
    @kristah2 I'm planning on leaving mine in and getting one of the belly rings with the long (I think flexible) bar, if/when I get KU.

    Month/Cycle: 4/4CD: 15WAYDTGKU: HIO ED, temping, CM/CPR/R/CS: Between my OPK Sunday, CM/CP yesterday, and temp rise this morning, I'm hoping I O'd yesterday. The only thing is, my temp only went up like half of a degree, so it wasn't exactly a spike. Also it's 2-3 days earlier than my other months temping, so

    Edit because the Bump is always messing up my GIFs and pics these days.
    GTKY: Currently I have: lobes twice, the first set is stretched to a 00 gauge, my nose, tongue, and belly button. I used to have an industrial bar in each ear (at different times), my rook, and daith. I miss all of my ear piercings :( Tattoo wise I have a pretty black and white giraffe taking up the length of my right thigh and a Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack tattoo that I got with my bestfriend on my left thigh. It says "I could sail for miles on end with my best friend," and is adorable.

    R/R/CS:  Hi everyone - well my stupid OBGYN office never called in my clomid yesterday, even though I called them 4 times and left a message each time (starting at 8 am).  So since I can't start on CD3 like I was supposed to, hubby and I have decided to take a break TTC for awhile.  I've gained a lot of weight from the stress and just feel crazed in general.  The pressure is getting to us.  So no babymaking for a couple of months, or at least until my next period (who knows when that will be, the way my cycles are).  Instead we are going to focus on getting healthy and actually enjoying sex.  Who knows, maybe I'll end up KTFU anyway.   I'll check back with you guys periodically while I wait.

    WAYDTGKU: HIO, PNV + DHA, temping + charting

    R/R/CS:
    Ugh....2 rants today. I'm such a Debbie Downer.
    1. DH and I DTD last night. Just like last time we were TTC, he has "performance anxiety" and has to pull out at the end. So annoying. Last time I got mad about it and it caused some animosity, so this time I just laughed. He actually did feel bad, which he didn't previously, so I guess that's a positive. He said it's just a mental thing because we've been using the POM + BFing since DS was born to TTA. I tried to play it off like it was ok, but really I'm like
    image

    2. Starting to temp has made me realize how crappy my sleep really is. I've been testing within an hour and 1/2 of when I plan to temp (sometimes earlier if I wake up to pee), so I have some open circles. I've been way more aware of how many times I wake up during the night, which is a lot, so I'm not sure how many times I'm actually getting a 3 hr stretch. After a high temp on last day of AF, I was excited that all seemed well when I had 3 consistent temps. Last 2 days have been really high again, so I'm frustrated that it's gonna mess with CHs and O. I was hoping yesterdays high temp was a fluke that I could possibly discard.

    GTKY:
    3 in each ear (but only the bottom is still completely open), tried x2 to get my belly button pierced in college and my body rejected the jewelry both times. I also had had my gallbladder out, so my navel is a lovely scarred mess. I have 3 tattoos - "love" and "dream" symbols on each hip and a design on my back that says "A dream is a wish your heart makes." All, I *somewhat* regret. I don't hate them, but they were definitely obtained in my defiant college years. DH and I have contemplated getting wedding band tattoos because he can't keep a ring on his finger (size 15 ring with knuckles that swell often because of 12 years of playing football) and once we done having kids, I'll probably get something to commemorate that.

    R/R/CS: I'm hopeful that Metformin might help my body do something productive (I'm on month 5 off birth control and haven't ovulated or had a period by myself) but I'm also bummed that my husband will be TDY for a month starting mid February so if I ovulate, it'll likely be while he's gone.

    @Jamiek1882 I'm with everyone else, try to keep HIO if you can. I totally understand being over it. After my last FW, we didn't do it for almost 10 days. We were just really humped out. 

    Month/Cycle: 5/5 (1 NTNP, 3 TTCAL)CD: 10WAYDTGKU: TTAR/R/CS: I had very obvious EWCM yesterday way earlier than normal. I marked it on FF and now it's saying I'm fertile today too even though I haven't entered any data except my BBT. Since we're TTA this cycle, I'm nervous to have sex but seeing fertile CM, my immediate reaction is to get on it. TTA is messing with my head. I'm not sure if this is a rant or a rave but my company advised we work from home again today because of the roads. We're getting freezing rain on top of some side streets that still haven't been plowed. I haven't been out of the house since last Wednesday when I came home from work. I kinda like it and kinda feel like a hermit. Also, what is with all of the pregnancy annoucements on facebook?

    WAYDTGKU: Everything!

    R/R/CS: Last cycle I had wet quality CM for like 5 days then it dried up, only to have my temps show that I O'd 3 days later. In November I had a ton of EWCM (very rare for me) on a Sunday but didn't O until 3 days after that, once it had dried up. What gives?! Using EPO this cycle in hopes of keeping the fertile quality CM around long enough to O.

Two holes in each ear, bellybutton (took it out while KU with DS and was able to put it back in after), and 1 large tattoo on the back of my right hip. It's a hot mess though...the black lines are really thick and bled out a bit so it needs a major overhaul. I'm too scared though because I haven't found an artist yet who is confident he or she can fix it.

  • @Mlight28 I'm a beach person too, but Ireland is the absolute best! My favorite thing to do there was just sit in pubs and chat with people. So, so friendly. In Dublin see the Book of Kels, the old cathedral, and the old prison museum. Such a sad but important history. Do the Guiness tour even if you are PG-it's just a fun tour.

    My one regret is not seeing more of the countryside when I was there. Lucky for me, H wants to go back, so it will probably be our next big trip (unless TTC takes a very long time, in which case we might break for a dive trip).
  • @atcwag hugs. We've been there and it's super frustrating. Even when I try to be nice, I can't help but get upset which I know only worsens the situation
  • @kristah2 & @GreatGigInTheWomb - I was wondering about mine as well but I have a friend of mind who is currently 8 months along and has left her belly piercing in.  She has one of the flexible bar rings.  It's not the cutest thing in the worst but it works!  Here's a link to some. https://www.amazon.com/Pregnancy-Maternity-Flexible-Retainer-Approved/dp/B008Y33U3Y

    GTKY (I apologize if this has been used already): Do you have any piercings or tattoos? Piercings - Three holes in each ear and a belly button ring.  For tattoos, I have tattoos on my hip, ankle and getting another on my wrist in the next week or so.

  • @mokay19 I feel your pain. I am also on Metformin and was on Provera for 10 days to induce a period. When AF finally showed, it was DAY 82.  I came off BC pills in July 2015 and haven't had a regular cycle since...

    Month/Cycle:  3/2

    CD:  2

    WAYDTGKU:  Provera, Metformin, prenatal vitamins, OPKs, will begin temping tomorrow.

    R/R/CS:  Feeling discouraged about TTC.  I don't feel we're off to a great start. My cycles are extremely long and irregular. Crossing my fingers that my body responds to the Metformin and regulates. I was going to take my temp this morning and totally forgot! So the plan is to start tomorrow and keep at it. Meanwhile, one of my friends just found out she's pregnant (2.5 months after she got married), my co-worker just gave birth and FB seems full of pregnancy announcements. Babies everywhere! 

    GTKY (I apologize if this has been used already): Do you have any piercings or tattoos? 2 piercings in each ear, plus my belly button. I've toyed with the idea of a small tattoo...but probably won't ever do it.

    WAYDTGKU: ALL

    R/R/CS: DH is starting to get stressed and its not working. He is freaking himself out to the point that he just can't make it work. I wasn't terribly worried last night when we skipped because we had sex the two days before, but if we have to skip tonight, too, I will cry. Of course, I don't let him see that I am upset. Quite the opposite actually. He wouldn't let himself believe it was okay to skip last night which just made the problem worse. I pulled out FF and showed him pregnancy charts and sex frequency. Explained that it was all okay. Put on my smile. It helped calm him down some, but not enough.  :( I feel terrible and concerned. 

    Also, @JamieK1882despite wanting to have sex because of the obvious reasons, I really don't want to. I am tired of baby making sex and just want..."Look at you, sexy...[cue drooling]" sex back.

    GTKY (I apologize if this has been used already): Do you have any piercings or tattoos? 

    I only wear two piercings these days. One in each ear. However over the years I have accumulated 16 piercings. Not all at once, as that sure would make my face look funny! I have 13 tattoos, for now.  ;)

    Edit to add missing words.

    CD: 23

    WAYDTGKU:  DH is already on his plane. So now I'm just charting and doing hippie things until he returns (why is pomegranate juice so expensive!)

    R/R/CS:  I had a very slight temp rise this morning, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much that yesterday was O. My temps have been super wonks since my loss, and after 10 straight days of fertile CM, I'm trying not to anticipate anything until I actually see a temp shift. I've said this like pretty much every day, but I'll say it again: stupid body! 

    GTKY:  Do you have any piercings or tattoos? I have two holes in each ear, and I had the cartilage pierced in one ear in 8th grade. The piercing keloid-ed, so I had to take the piercing out, and get the scar tissue injected with steroids to make the giant bump go away. Lesson: no more piercings in strange places. My mom was lucky this made me never want a belly button ring. I just got my first tattoo in 2014. It's on my ribs and it says "This too shall pass" and has some floating cherry blossoms around it. I got it because I think it helps me with my depression - it helps me remind myself that even though things are bad right now, it's not permanent, and I will get through it. Also, that nothing is permanent, and we must appreciate all of our happy moments too.

    @JamieK1882  I know a bunch of people already responded, but I thought I'd put in my two cents. A temp drop doesn't even necessarily mean you are day of or day before O. I get a temp drop consistently 5-7 days before I O and then it just stays low until then.

    @atcwag  My husband and I wanted to get wedding band tattoos, but a lot of places won't even actually do them. In fact, we only checked with the best tattoo places near us and they wouldn't do them so we took that to mean it's not a good idea. I think the reason they don't do it is mainly because those tattoos fade so fast that it won't look good unless you are constantly getting them touched up

    WAYDTGKU: Right now just temping and waiting for my period to end

    R/R/CS: Nothing really today

    GTKY (I apologize if this has been used already): Do you have any piercings or tattoos?

    Wow, I've been here too long - I'm getting the repeats lol. At least my answer is different this time. I have my ears pierced and last month I also got a horizontal eyebrow piercing. No tattoos, though.

    Edited: spacing
  • @Mlight28 You should go to Newgrange!  It's about an hour north of Dublin and a popular tourist destination so there are lots of ways to get there (tour bus, drive etc).  It's ancient burial grounds (older than the pyramids) - they have awesome guides that tell you about the site and it's supposed to bring fertility to couples!!! :)

    R/R/CS: Heading to FL tomorrow for work. I'm ready for a change of scenery since I work from home 3 days a week and SAHM the other 2 days. I need to get out of this house!

    GTKY (I apologize if this has been used already): Do you have any piercings or tattoos?

    I had my belly button pierced until I was 30. No tattoos. They aren't for me. H has a jester on his leg that I HATE. It reminds me of a clown and I hate clowns. Actually, I hate anything with face makeup or a mask. If I can't see your face, I can't trust you.
  • @Mlight28   Oh, I forgot I wanted to give some suggestions! I went to Ireland about 6 years ago and really enjoyed the Cliffs of Moher, so I would suggest going there. You definitely want to kiss the Blarney stone :)  And, of course, there is a ton to do and see in Dublin

    @JamieK1882 I think others have answered better than I could as I only have 1 month of temping under my belt but last month my temp dropped the day of O and then rose the next few days

    That being said my temps are so all over this month so next time I think I will begin temping vaginally

    WAYDTGKU: everything we can

    R/R/CS: I leave for a business trip tomorrow afternoon to FL. I'm worried this will affect my already jagged chart/temps and in addition, I'm in the middle of FW so kinda bummed. We'll HIO before i leave and when I come back Friday night so hoping that's enough to make it pretty decent timing. Starting getting high fertility on CB digital yesterday but wondfo opks still negative -

    GTKY (I apologize if this has been used already): Do you have any piercings or tattoos?

    I have my ears pierced and I do have 1 tattoo on my right rib cage in honor of my mom who passed. It's of a cross with wings and surrounded by sunflowers which were favorite and has Mom written on the cross. (I apologize if pic is huge; I'm on mobile and cant adjust-pic is of same day I got it so it's a bit red)

    @Marley629 - sounds like we have the same travel plans! I head to FL tomorrow for work and come home Friday night too.

    <p>@DumbledoresArmy I'm so sorry this has been so stressful for you. I totally hear that though, and I am bummed about my weight creeping up since the holidays and TTC... I hope you will be able to take some good time for yourself, clear your head, get to feeling better physically etc...  Good luck to you both, and don't be a stranger :)

    @JamieK1882 That's great, you are basically just sexting your husband while he's at work.  I love it.  Who says adulting is overrated!?!??!<b>

    </b>@MrsDho11 Sorry you're suffering today!  That was me all day yesterday too from shoveling, still not 100% but I'm going to try to do a little more physically today than I did yesterday.  Do take care.<b>

    </b>@anj27 Sorry about CD1.  I know what you mean about wanting a certain birth month.  I actually was so bummed about missing September, cos I just thought that would have been nice, my brother was born in September too, whtvs.  A friend of mine who I'm not super-thrilled with right now, her son has an October birthday, so now as much as I want to GKTFU, the due date would be late Oct, her DS is early Oct, and I DIDN'T really want our kids to share a birth month, as terrible as that sounds!  lol  So I try to remind myself that it's all very silly when it gets right down to it.  I could say, oh well a Thanksgiving baby would be better, but then that would mean another unsuccessful cycle and back to the drawing board, and I'm not one of those people who is about to TTA for the sake of choosing the "perfect" birth month!  For heaven's sake.  We just want happy, healthy babies, whenever that time may come!  Right? <<hugs>><b>

    </b>@houseofsetters I love the Latin tattoo concept!  There were so many little slogans over the years I thought about getting but never broke down and bit the bullet.<b>

    </b>@soda23 Phew!  Relieved for you to have your cycle back, and FX for you this time around!!! :D <b>

    Still no positive OPK's, but CM past three days went from creamy, to creamy but stretchy to 1", to EWCM first thing this morning/stretchy mid-morning today so... we shall see...
    </p><p><b>GTKY</b>:I have one on my lower back that I had reworked / enlarged later.  So I found the artist who worked with me to add certain elements, brighten up the colours etc. and a few days later I found myself at an event sitting at a table with DH. (This was before we started dating, had just starting to see each other around.) He has a number of tattoos and we were talking about them, cos it's an easy thing to make conversation over, and turns out we had the same artist!  Now I don't have enough that I go around seeing tattoo artists all the time, and he's had so many over the years from so many different places that it still was a little bit like, what are the chances?  So we actually share some of the same leaf/wave type designs that that artist did, him on his leg/arms and me on my back.  I think that's kind of cool.  I had a number of piercings, tragus, navel, vertical industrial, angle industrial, tongue three times, hood, and actually a surface piercing as well, (which I know is weird), but now it's just my ears.  I stretched my main holes to 00 so those will never close, and I have actually thought about having a stitch put in to close it back up, but honestly it's not that bad.  I just wear French hooks always with a slight drop, and then I have two more above each of the main holes but I never wear anything there.  @furbabymom2007 I like the idea of wearing the diamond studs in the second hole!

    Month/Cycle: 6/5

    CD: 21

    WAYDTGKU: all of it

    R/R/**CS**: CD21 is a historical O day of mine and my temp is still up at 99.6. So now I have 7 temps over 99.2 and the cold that I had (definitely discarding the 1st temp) is lingering slightly, but I'm feeling great. We had a 5-hour time change prior to the cold and have been sleeping under a heavy blanket. I just started a patch of W/EWCM but my OPKs couldn't be more negative. So, I think I'm post-O and just missed it (we were moving those 2 wks of no temps and I was honestly expecting a late O). I know this is a wait-and-see chart, but is it possible to still be getting discardable temps from this cold? 1-2 days sure, but 7?? Thanks, ladies!

    GTKY: Ear lobes and a small cross that I'm letting fade on my back because I'm over it.

    **TW - question about previous pregnancies**


    Month/Cycle: 2/2

    CD: 1 :(

    WAYDTGKU: just the usual. Going to start OPK this month I think.

    R/R/CS: I hate AF.

    GTKY (I apologize if this has been used already): Do you have any piercings or tattoos?

    Yes I do! I have my ears done twice (used to be 3), my Tragus in my right ear and my belly button.
    Plus I have a small star tattoo on the inside of my ankle and a symbol on my left hip that no one ever sees.

    Question: has anyone been previously pregnant and left their belly button ring in?! DH wants me to take it out but I like it. Wondering how other people managed. I know this is a TTC board just wondering if others have had precious pregnancies and have kept the piercing.
    If not - do any of you belly button ladies plan to keep yours in or take it out?

    @kristah2 - I took mine out when I was pg with my son. The hole started to stretch and has never gone back to its original size. Looks like a damn mess.
