Trying for a Baby part 5....

Lemon_Tree

can i ask a daft question? for those of you who are taking temperatures, should i worry that mine seems to have been in the 96.something range since CD1? All the charts i've looked at (aka scared myself over) online all seem to in the 97. something - 98. something range.

MS - really glad your bleeding has stopped and fingers crossed bean gives you no more worries!

Sorry Lemon, I've never tempted so cant help.

Another quick question about cm (I'm not obsessed, honest!), I seem to be quite damp down below the last couple of days..much more than usual, and its quite creamy in texture..it isnt nasty in anyway.

Probably SS'ing again...but..hey..! :whistle: cuold it be a good sign?

@moneysaver - sorry about the bleeding. Good luck for your scan, I wish you all the best. ((hugs))

@gettingthereslowly - sorry AF arrived. ((hugs)) hope the girl in your office hasn't been too annoying. I'm lucky cos the annoying girl (and there are only 3 girls in our company) is in the other room

@mennie - even if the diet changes and supplements make no difference towards fertility they will surely make a difference to yours and babies health when you're pregnant. What changes have you made? I'm just taking Pregnacare at the moment, and have gone wheat free (but for other reasons).

@tinks - 4.5miles? Are you mad?! Good on ya. Are you fit and stuff? I can't even run 100m.

@gettingthereslowly - can I go on the list this month...for 9th April (that'll be cycle day 36). Thanks.

@lemontree, as long as 96.something is healthy I wouldn't worry. I've been 97.5 - 97.9 since my period. After ov, I was 97.9 to 98.something. Have you got a full month yet? Can you see the shift? Fertility friend has peoples charts: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/ChartGallery/index.php

And I've seen someone with 96.something temps. But you should see a pattern like theirs over the month, so it should be higher once you've ov'd.

@MV - The damp feeling is a symptom for some people, but I felt that last month and was obv SS then. Keeping my fingers crossed for you though.

MoneySaver - Very glad that the bleeding has stopped and fingers crossed for the scan on Thurs. Make sure you get plenty of rest x

Thanks Giz...trying really hard not to ss, but you know how hard it is!!

BigSis - I still drink wine, but nowhere near as much as I used to. OH and I would pretty much chug through a bottle between us every night which was far too much. No wonder I used to feel so awful in the mornings! We dont drink during the week but do maybe have a bottle between us on a Friday and Saturday night.

It is hard though. I guess in theory you shouldnt drink alcohol at all, but you'd pretty much have to become tee total whilst ttc in that case, and I just dont think I could! I do love wine!

We have a friend's birthday this coming weekend, and she's a BIG partier. I dont know if I should drink or not..one of the reasons I was contemplating taking an early test, but decided against it. I may have a couple and leave it at that.

Thank god OH gave up smoking last April. He was a proper hardcore smoker too, and he was hell to live with whilst he was quitting, but he did it. I was really proud of him

Hi Big Sis. I stopped smoking on 11th Jan, I only smoked one a day but have felt much better for it. Sadly OH still smokes but has cut down from ten a day to one a day and so is heading in the right direction, with a lot of nagging from me .

I do have a drink at weekend. I don't go mad and limit myself to a few glasses of wine. I don't drink at all through the week and so it is only if we decide to go out on a saturday night. I think people would ask too many questions if I didn't and start putting 2 and 2 together. Plus I have no idea how long it will be before we are blessed with a BFP and so don't want to feel like my life is on hold until then. Feel I should be making the most of nights out now as they will be few and far between once bubs arrives.

Make it 3 - def agree with you re: OPKs I'm just hoping that they are dodgy for me and it's not the fact that I'm not oving, will see for definite when i go for scan on friday.

Still no AF although getting few pains now so don;t think she is far off.

Glad everything ok Moneysaver..xx

Everyone's temp varies, so I think it is fine:) Do you temp in your mouth?

It could be, but could be normal. Only one way to find out - after 2ww;)

I never smoked, and only drink occasionally, like 3 times in a year and given up caffeine but still BFN:D

Metranil_Vavin

Thanks Q....you are the wise one!

I know that the only way to find out is to POAS.

I've been trying to work out my cycle based on my last AF before I got preg in Nov, and worked out that AF is due anywhere between this Sunday and mid next week...the suspense is killing me! :rotfl:
