Trying for a Baby Part Six

littleme82

Good morning ladies!

Well for the first time EVER DH was too blinkin tired last night - could not believe it.....its usually me that is tired!

Well hopefully tonight when I get in from work......

Did an OPK last night and "please visualise" the left hand side of the bar that has to show up was dark but the rest of the bar was light.....what does this mean?

Hope everyone's PMA is good....nearly the weekend!

Took my temp again this am and it is getting lower....can someone remind me what happens in respect of your temp to show you OV please

xx:D

I have no idea what that means- maybe there was an uneven distribution of dye on the stick when it was made?

Your temp should go up the day after ov - which is why you can't use temps alone as they only tell you after you have ov'd.

That you're temps are going down is good because it hopefully means you haven't ov'd yet so you can pounce on DH tonight!

I have a dimella!I shouldn't have done it ... but I did! I got up very early as I was wide awake moved beds as I was hot-stayed awake for half hour-moved back to our bed to snuggle to hubby-went down stairs and saw him off to work freezing in my nothings lol. Came back sat on the bed and took my temperature was low. Expected it to be high today. Went to sleep for an hour and 45 mins then took it again and it was the expected high. Umm what reading do I put?! Gut instincts says the high one as I'm sure I ovulated yesterday. Chart shows a half a bit of rise which has happened before the main rise the day after ov so that would fit what is normal for me. Also it is more my normal time of day I take it and after sleep. I'm sure it would have dropped from me getting up and moving around as well. I've confused myself like!

Ideally you should have had three hours sleep but what I have done when I've woken really early and taken it then gone back to sleep for a couple of hours and taken it again is put the average between the two.
It's up to you really - if you put the high one and it turns out to be too high (or the other way round with the low one) then FF will just ignore it in a few days if the others are more normal. You could always discard the temp yourself in a few days if it looks like it doesn't fit.

I would take the 2nd temp . I think you're supposed to be still for 3 hours before temping, and not even move or speak before you take a temp otherwise it messes with the results. Sounds like you were already feeling hot when you first woke up, so a low temp isn't going to accurately reflect that. I'm sure one of the other lovely ladies can give some clearer advice though as I don't temp myself (partly because I always wake up right at the last possible minute, so no time!).

Mmm chocolate. *dribbles*

I love chocolate, it is my biggest vice now! Thankfully WW make these chocolate bars calls 'cookie bars' and they are seriously SO delish, and only one point! Woo!

I also missed another BFP, congratualtions Cleomolly!

scarly - I am showing DW what you said and demanding a massage!! hehehe! Thank you though, I've sent her to H&B (thanks to emsbet too!)to get me some, as she happens to be near one right now (oh and some grapefruit juice!)

Are you supposed to start taking agnus and drinking the grapefruit juice on certain days?

Goppers, I want stalking too! Although, er, I dont have an FF account. Actually, thats something else to add to my list, I am going to temp too! If I am going to do this properly, then I am going to go ALL out!

I my DW, she just said she has a feeling it will happen before we know it. *insert forever hopeful smilie* - I have faith, when its meant to be, it's meant to be. Must keep reminding self of that - and you know what - I like hanging out with you lot!

Hey 2b, I don't have a FF account, I'm just stalking people on here... i'm a soley MSE forum reader only!! (such a loyal person me!)

Good luck with the temping thing, i've not bothered to do any temping or going on FF purely as i've only just started trying, didn't really want the overkill initially x (plus im too lazy!!):rotfl:

I think QQ has broken my mind. I was in the bath last night and I felt a twinge in my side that made me wince. My brain said'oooh that's new' and before I could even make the mental leap to thinking 'I wonder if thats a sign' I could just see this huge floating yellow smiley wagging its finger at me from over the bath!

Gopppers

stalking you on here too 2b!!

What the heck, I'm going to stalk everyone!!
