TTC'rs ,Charters and Chart Cheerleaders! 2010~

Thank you Sparkles! Keep my fingers crossed!

Hope you are doing well and that you get to meet your babe soon!!!

p.s.. Highish temp your today Beth??

And what is with my temps being the same for three days?? I hope it's not my thermometer. I temped again when I woke up later and the number DID change on the thermometer so I think I'm okay.

Lindzee, I was surprised by my temp too. I'm not diligent about taking it at the same time everyday, at all, because I found that vaginal temping isn't as easily affected, at least for me. So I usually get up (at whatever time) and go to my computer/dressing room where I take my temp (and then use the bathroom). Well today, I got up at 8:30 to pee but didn't take my temp and then when back to bed. I took it when I got up at 10:30am. Possibly that's the reason, but who really knows? It'll probably be back to a more normal range tomorrow.

I bet you're right Beth - temping late will often do that. I am sure it will be back down tomorrow. I usually temp around 5 am and then go back to sleep. Then at least it is consistent for me!

Trying to decide when/if I will test.... Not sure what I am going to do yet!

I'd say let's wait and see what the next couple days bring....hopefully a further rise in temps....and if it's still high on 13DPO then consider it!

Thanks Beth for pulling me back into reality!
Remember when I used to NEVER test or want to test?? What happened to that girl??

Come on high temps!! I think these are the highest temps I have had at this dpo out of all my cycles thus far. PErhaps this is a new trend. Who knows?

Interested to see if your temp goes back down tomorrow.

My temp went back down to more normal range today. If yesterday's temp causes a problem I'll take it out or mark it as taken late or something.

I forgot to say that Clomid can cause higher temps...but that doesn't mean your chart is still looking good! What is today's temp like??

I wondered about clomid causing higher temps. I kind of had a feeling about that. Plus I have been super hot waking up sometimes. Must be from that. Not feeling very positive today.

I see your temp went back down, that is good - more in the normal range. It shouldn't cause a problem because the temp is early in your cycle.

I am feeling very emotional today and am having some cramping. I feel like is just around the corner - already!

cute story from church I thought you might like Beth:

They asked the kids in story time if they knew what patience was and one little one said:
"You wait til you get it!"

So true. But so hard!

Awwww, that's cute!

Today's drop is no big deal, Lindzee. I hope to see it back up tomorrow though.

I am not worried about my drop in temp today so much. It is everything else. Sore back, cramping, emotional [you should have seen me crying at church!] and then my cervix is low and firm. Bleh!!!

Glad you liked my cute story.

When do we get "it"???

Well, my temp is still up today. After all the cramping and such I had yesterday I thought it was for sure going to go down. I have no idea what is going on? Taking it all in stride....
Your temps are all back to normal and in good range Beth. Did you already start taking the soy, DHEA, etc? Thinking of you!

Soooooo tomorrow is 13DPO Lindzee! If that temp stays the same or goes up, are you going to test or wait another day or two?

Yep, started with soy CD5-9. DHEA is a daily dose.

I don't think I will test tomorrow. I just realized I have no dollar store tests - only one FRER and I want to make sure i make good use of it. I think that if my temp stays up for 14 or 15 dpo then I will test. My LP is never more than 13 days. That sounds like a good plan, right? Trying to remain neutral and not too hopeful. And I don't really take too much notice of what my chart looks like. You can't judge by a "pretty" looking chart. Although, wouldn't that be nice?? i am still having a bit of cramping today, so we'll see.

How much such soy are you taking this cycle? 150 mg? 200? I don't think i knew that DHEA was a daily pill! I am glad the soy is working for me. I know I only took it once but it didn't seem to work for me and gave me an anovulatory cycle. At least i think that's what it was? Who knows??

Yay for the temp rise Lindzee and for you being soooo patient! I really wouldn't worry about the cramping too much as early pregnancy symptoms are so similar to pre af and also you must be emotional due to the clomid you have had this cycle. However, I should shut up really as you have every right to be worried as you haven't had it easy. I just want you to know I have my fingers crossed and hope all goes according to plan ((((hugs))))

Emma,

Thanks again for stopping in and checking in on things! It really means a lot! I HATE that early pg symptoms are so similar to symptoms, so I know I can't go by that alone. Yes, perhaps I was emotional due to the clomid, but seemed fine up until yesterday when I was convinced was going to show - which it very well still could. And you definitely don't have to shut up! It is nice to hear other people's perspective and opinions. I appreciate that.

How are you hanging in there? I have been thinking of you lots and hoping you get to have that baby soon. Take care of yourself and I hope you are getting some rest. Sending you labour vibes!!

p.s. I am really not as patient as I come across, LOL!!

I won't bug you about testing then because I'm not big on it either! And since Emma mentioned it, Clomid did make me a bit emotional. Forgot about that.

Yeah, I guess I'm really odd -- I can have annovulatory cycles on Clomid and Femara but do ok on soy. I'm doing 200mg again. I just wish that DHEA would kick in and help make a really good egg!

Lindzee- i am being a chart stalker... looking good, i hope those af pains are a good sign, they were for me both times.. swore af was coming ( even wore a tamon to work when i was pregnant with Kyrah - not that i knew i was)

good luck xoxoxo

*tapping foot* Where's today's temp, Lindzee?? I've checked TWICE already!

Lol, me too, she does like to keep us in suspense! x

I keep checking in too I seem to be your newest stalker Lindzee!!!!! pains were a good sign for me too, they felt like the very start of cramps, before they get bad and I still get them on and off now!!!! Good luck!!!!!

me too!

LOL!! Ladies!! Too funny.

Well, it is down a bit - guess what see what happens tomorrow -that is the true test!!

Thanks for checking in on me!! xoxoxo

I have a bad feeling it is going to go down tomorrow..... :S

Lindzee, I have to say I checked your chart (again!) before I checked in here and when I saw it, I said "CRAP! when I saw that drop" I hope hope hope I'm wrong and it's just a dip!
