Houston, We have a problem...

Well i think i have figured out the problem as far as my temps you guys. This morning i got the idea to take my temp using my old thermometer with the (00.0) reading and the new thermometer with the (00.00) reading. The read outs were completely different. The new one gave me 97.04 and the old one gave me 97.4 which in the charting world is the different between night and day. maybe this is why i have no definite cover line on my fertility friends website. I will include a link so you can see the difference between last months chart and this month. Let me know what you think.

LH Surge?

I just did another Ovulation test and it is a definite positive!! What's up with that! My husband can only do two BD per cycle and he has done those two. If this cycle is a dud then we know why. We were saving one of our BD for our LH surge which we did yesterday so hopefully we were able to get something from this.

Slight Rise

Well i had a slight rise in my temps but i didn't recieve my coverline on fertilityfriends.com. Maybe tommrow's temp will be higher and i will recieve my coverline. If i did ovulate at that time (CD 15) then we will be good to go becaude we did our BD a good 2-3 days before which is that best time...

Ovulation...Already?

I don't know what's going on with my body this cycle i had an early period and i feel i have experienced a early ovulation. I'm currently on CD 17 if you go according to my early AF and for the last two days my temps have risen! Last cycle i ovulated at CD 16 So if I ovulated when my temps started to rise that would put me at ovulating on cycle day 15-16. If tomorrow's temps are higher then i will get my cover line on fertility friends and that will confirm ovulation has occur ed. The thing is i didn't have any positive ovulation test until today i think i got a positive. Whatever.... all will come to the light in the morning.. TBC ( to be continued...)

Still on it

i know it has been a while but I'm still here..Me an my DH are continuing with our natural trying to conceive journey. We are currently on CD 15 and i have yet to get a positive LH surge i think due to the fact my period started five days early. Me and my DH did our modified BD Friday and we will again tomorrow and again whenever i get my LH surge. Stay tuned

What's next

OK last cycle was a bust but we are going to use it as our jump off point. It wasn't a complete lost because we learned valuable information that we will use this cycle and improve upon our mistakes. We will step up our timing and take our vitamins and supplements up a notch. Today i went and bought a digital basal thermometer that take the temp to the hundredth instead of to the tenth like the thermometer i used last cycle. I like this one because it's easier to use and it provides a more accurate reading. It only cost about 7-8 dollars from Wal-mart so think that was a good deal.

As far as my supplements last cycle i was taking Geritol and my husband was suppose to be taking his One a Day Mens but he told me he stopped for reasons unknown. But I explained to him that the Vitamins were to help his sperm volume and morphology. Since he has diabetes there could be a problem with his morphology that could cause his sperm not to penetrate the egg or if it does cause the pregnancy not to be viable. So to pump up the supplements we both will start taking Maca supplement 850 mg daily, I will take my regular Geritol along with Folic Acid and Vitamin C and my DH will take his Men one a days. and we see where this takes us. Holla

To be or not to be..

Well that question has been answered today in the form of Aunt Flo.
She came quite unexpectedly seeing as she is about three to five days early. i wasn't expecting this at all. I guess my system is thrown all out of whack. I'm wondering if this is going to change my cycle days from 31 to 28? if so will i have to change my expected ovulation dates? I guess we will have to monitor my temps and CM to check that out and make sure don't miscalculate for our next cycle...until next time

9 DPO Too early to test?

well today I'm 9 dpo and I'm feeling fine. I still have the most tender nipples i have ever had...I mean they are painful. Usually during my cycles while I'm PMSing i have some tenderness to the breast but never this much. Right now i can have on my bra and two shirts and if some thing pressed my chest it agony! I have had a Fish dream so you guys who follow the old wives tale some one i know is pregnant or will be..since the fish in the dream were in my pool my mom said the one pregnant will be me.. I sure hope so. Other then the sore breast i have had some slight cramps, creamy CM, some lower back pain (usually when I'm PMSing i will have a backache while lying in bed that will signal to me an upcoming period..Hasn't happen yet) umm let me think...Oh yeah i planned on taking a HPT tomorrow but i was so antsy i went and took one at 11pm which was crazy i know but i just wanted to do it to ease my mind. I wasn't to disappointed i think i saw a very faint line I'm not sure if my mind was playing tricks on me. I'll be testing again in the morning with my FMU to get a lil more accurate accounting on that... Thats all i have for now..til next time ..smooches

Just posting to keep sane

Well to day i went to work and barley wanted to get out of bed. I was up kinda late because i really wanted to finish a new Linda Howard book i had gotten from the library. I work as a cashier in a warehouse store and there is a lot of heavy lifting going on. While working i tried to take it easy but after a half hour or so i started to get discomfort in my lower pelvic area and this feeling extended down my left leg at this point i stopped doing the lifting and just did my cashiering duties. Later that day i experience a extreme hot flash to the point where i started to sweat all down my back which was weird to me since i was just standing there and not doing anything. I also bought some pineapple juice and some fresh pineapple spears from my work place because i heard it helps with implantation and uterine health. That's all for now stay tuned..

Symptom???

Well i noticed that my nipples have been very very sore...I'm sorry if that a lil TMI but you know what you were getting into. This is not something that is normal for me since my breast are kinda large i don't usually have very much sensation even when I'm PMSing. Right now they are sore when my husband even touches them and they are chafed from my bra....hmm we'll see
