Trying for a Baby Part Six

Kaemi

Going to read back over the weekend soon, but wanted to post first so I don't forget. Temping question. I had a really unsettled night, lots of nightmares, and when I woke up at 6:30 I assumed I was up for the day and took my temp - 36.45 - making me sad as at 10DPO AF is on the way. However OH then snuggled in again and I got back to sleep, and I took my temp again at the normal time of 7am, and it was 36.65. Just to skew things even more yesterday we swapped from our 13.5tog duvet to a 4.5tog summer one. I know if AF is coming there is nothing I can do about it, but I'm still getting to know my chart and I'd like it to be accurate - which temp should I log? Also, why is there such a discrepancy on two temps only 30mins apart?

Think I might ditch FF and just get you to tell me what's going on!

DH has decided he has sent the winning swimmer in this month and his name is Bob!

Wouldn't it be funny if you got pg with a girl?:D

Sorry ov is taking it's time QQ, maybe it's your body's way of making sure that UTI is well out of the way first

:mad: (to UTI)

Morning Ladies, I have been lurking for a little while but thought I should come out of the shadows and show my face.

I stopped taking my pill on the 4th July and am driving myself up the wall by ss everything in my body. I know but its subconciously happening.
I had no AF when on the pill and as soon as I came off it I had ewcm, I spotted on friday and thought AF was on its way but then nothing spotted a tiny bit last night but then again nothing since. Ive had a few mild cramps on one side but nothing since.

I dont chart my temps as I have only just come off my pil and thought i'd try and be laid back about it all for a few months before i go down that road. 14 days on i'm driving myself insane. :wall:

How am I supposed to keep myself sane?!?

Normally I'd log the first one, as it's only 30mins difference, and it was after solid 3hrs sleep, but this time I'd log the second one:p

Nightmares and unsettled sleep will make the temps inaccurate.
Temps are not exact science:o

As soon as you start moving around your temp will change. I would log the first temp - if you had gone back to sleep for about 3 hours and had more restful sleep than before then I'd say log that one.

:hello: Hello and welcome to the board!

I guess you could be one of those lucky people who get pg as soon as they come off the pill - fingers crossed for you - but it could also just be your body settling down and getting used to been regulated by it's own hormones rather than artifical ones.

I hope you get an answer one way or another soon. In the mean time feel free to vent and ask any questions you have. We are a nice bunch and we look after each other

Thanks emsbet, it is nice to have somewhere to talk to people, it prevents me from driving DH up the wall! I am quite possibly the most impatient person in the world!

I completely agree, it could be a little miracle that I get pg in first month, but i seriously doubt it.

I was all set to count friday as cd1 of 1st cycle after pill but then spotting stopped and i cant quite bring myself to say that it was cd1... so now i'm all confused. I now know why you all temp on ff as at least you have some idea of whats going on. I just dont know whether to be getting myself ready for bding at ov time or whether I should be stocking up on IC tests!

Haha! I'll give you a run for you money in the impatient stakes Although I am learning to be more patient as it's no good for TTC.

The first month is the hardest in terms of trying to figure out what's going on with your body (especially after coming off the pill) and trying to get your head around all the information there is out there and what you body does when. It does get easier to understand and charting really does help. But hopefully you will get a BFP and won't have to find out

Hugs to Tinkwings, a problem shared is a problem halved or so they say. We're always here if you want a vent, you won't bring anyone down but we may be able to make you

Thanks Colli & eveyone :A

It just gets pants when so much effort and pressure is put on during one week or even a few days a month to BD and make an effort

So wierd we spend most of our lives trying NOT to get PG and then when you decide you want one it seems like the hardest thing in the world :mad:
