TTC after 35

My chart is such a mess this month!

My schedule has been so erratic that my temps are a lovely mix of miss matched circles and I missed yesterday's temp because I had to get up EARLY for ds's baseball tournament.  I tried to take it but in my sleepy state I turned the thermometer on and then off before trying to use it.  After 5 mins of laying there in the dark I got up and realized it was not even on.  UGH.

Re: My chart is such a mess this month!

  • Hi Llama!

    Last month my temps were all wacky pre-O - poor sleep, therm battery died, etc.  I relied on my OPKs.  So frustrating when temping gets messed up - here we are trying to do everything we can, and the simplest 60 second activity gets messed up!

    My therm this month has favorites.  I hope that it is catching the jumps in temps.  We'll see how it goes.  Looks like I Oed over the weekend and we had good timing.  I had the most intense / real dream Saturday night - we were pregnant with twins.  We'll see late next week if the dream was a premonition or just wishful thinking....

  • **ticker warning** 

     

    llama - Just keep on keeping on....My fingers are crossed for you and Gundy!

    (etiquette question, should I always put up a ticker warning? I see some ladies that are preggo do that, so I've been trying to follow suit.)

  • Llama - that sounds like a great plan!

    Hi Adi!  (waves!)

    I don't know how anyone else feels but for ME I welcome posts from any and all graduates of this board and there is no need to warn me of your tickers.. I love seeing your progress!

  • Thanks Llama! I know I wasn't here long. I'm really pulling for you.
  • Hey Llama, I hear you about the therm... I'm always hoping that I actually turned it on...if I don't hear the beeping within a few seconds of starting, then I know it's off...although I hate listening to that damn beep the whole time!  My chart is weird this month, but that's because my CM was fertile right after AF left and not around when my temp changed...thus dotted CH this month, but the date is within a day of normal for me, so I think it's right.  Looks like I got the all clear to TTC again from the doc just in time!  Hopefully we timed things right.

    GL to you, hope that O is right around the corner and that you and DH enjoy your workout!  FX we both get our BFPs this cycle!

  • Well my OPK behaved this month.. I got my :) today!  Hopefully I will see that temp rise tomorrow to confirm.  Fingers crossed that even with my lack luster charting this month I will get lucky!  Good luck to all of us!

  • I was worried I was the only one freaking out about this!  I am a hugely erratic sleeper in even the best of circumstances, so I haven't yet managed to get my temp at the same time two days in a row, even!

    I tend to wake up every 2-3 hours each night, so that doesn't help matters much either.  I'm seriously considering setting an alarm for 3:15 am, which is the one time I'm almost always actually asleep...the only problem with that is that it's probably the only time I get any decent REM time.

     I'm going to work on that this week, which is of course vital because this is the week I should actually O.  We shall see how it goes, and if I can get myself on a schedule finally.  I wish you much luck with yours!
