Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 13

I don't know how many of you know this so sorry if you do but when I got my thyroid stuff sorted they told me that it's actually not the pill leaving your system - that happens really quick - it's your own hormone system getting back into balance.

I'm very into yoga, acupuncture and recently energy medicine which are all supposed to help kickstart sluggish or "confused" systems :-)

Fingers are crossed for you newthrift and apple!!! It would be fab to have some good news.

10DPO here. I'm such a bad TTC'er Symptom spotting like mad. Feeling really spaced out and nauseous, but it is highly possible that it is all in my head! Temp obviously increased at ov but started rising even further from 7DPO, I don't know what that means, if anything at all.

Hey all

My temp plunged today which has got me all upset in thinking I am not actually ovulating. I've tried to read up but some of it is just not sinking in and making me understand. From what I gather my temp should be up after ov and staying up?? I start on CD9 with a temp range of 36.30 degree C, it then falls to levels at 35s and then after ov on CD13 it goes up to a range of 36s. However this morning CD22 it dropped back to 36.17.

Whilst my timing is not always great, I ensure that I do it after a block of sleep and it's always between 4-6 am. I think due to anxiety about it all I am waking through the night now which is not normal for me but since I started temping then it's happening a lot so I think it's related.

CM and OPK are all pointing towards ov between CD13-15 but I know they are not accurate ways of saying it occurred.

Any thoughts?

Cats very interesting, makes a lot of sense. I've been thinking lately that I have a hormone imbalance atm. I do yoga every week & I've started looking into acupuncture as well, but what is energy medicine??

Midget 18 months :eek: :eek: :eek: Poor you, 8 day AF sounds horrendous even without having a bug & vit deficiency, hope your being well looked after xxx

Welcome Vic hope you're not here to long.

Everything still crossed for you new, remember you're not out til the witch arrived.

Tinks I think sustained temp rise may be a sign of conception, everything crossed for you.

Rachy temp rise for at least 3 days points to ov, it can drop again after that, which mine quite often does.

cats2012

Energy medicine I'm only just learning about so will report back. But it's linked to the same type of Chinese medicine acupuncture is.

I'm usually such a cynic but I'm keeping my mind open...

Kynthia

Rachylou I often would have one or two temps drop below the covering between ovulation and AF. These generally were not the first few days after ovulation so I didn't worry about it. If you've been trying a while and have an understanding GP yiu could ask for day 21 blood tests which will confirm ovulation is occurring x

Rachylou1981

Thanks Angel and Kynthia

Temp is up twice then down and then up again. No 3 days of high at all at any point but FF pinpoints ov at CD13 regardless.

I already had a word with the GP who said he is happy to do bloods after this cycle if not pregnant.

I have the added stress of my May AF being due on the day I go on holiday and with the heavy flow I've had and approx 5 days of bleed it's my worst nightmare as it would ruin holiday. But if I get Northisterone you have to take it 3 days before AF and cycle is not consistent to know date and then I have to be sure I'm not pregnant either. I'm so stressed about all this, which I know doesn't help

newthrift

Thanks everyone. Made a deal with DH that I won't test tomorrow will leave it until Tues (he suggested waiting a week but I think I would explode by then haha).
Fingers crossed for you apple
Baby dust to everyone xx
