Hellobee Boards

@dc yoga bee: I think it's different for different women so it could be. Keep us updated!

@dc yoga bee: it's not too late for implantation... How long is your LP typically?

@dc yoga bee: I feel like it could be a toss up.

@dc yoga bee: I would say until you see a full bleed it could be anything. IB only happens to 20% of women I think but t did happen to me at around 11 DPO. It was only a small amount of pink and was gone the next day but I've read about women getting brown or even having full bleeds during pregnancy. FX for you!

Can someone please talk me out of testing early this weekend?

@Freckles: don't do it! When are you due?

@Mrs.Panda: @Crystal: I have no clue as i didn't chart or use OPKs this time around, but my expected period date is Feb 20/21. CD1 was Jan 24, and my fertile period was last week. My inability to wait is making me want to get out a test!

@Freckles: I know it's so hard but try to wait until next week to save yourself the possible heartache of a false BFN. Be strong girly!

@dc yoga bee: I'm sorry

@lindsayinny so I'm pretty reluctant to share my chart, but here is the link - http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/4c988d - I think the huge temp spike on CD9 is from drinking/excessive dancing (although really, what is excessive?) at a wedding the night before and because I took my temp later than usual.

The one thing I'm really curious about is whether my body temp is super low compared to other people, since this is my first month charting. It seems like a lot of charts, the BBT is in the 97s even when it's low. Do others regularly see 96s?

@Ms.Mermaid: first of all, welcome! My husband was also very reluctant to talk about TTC and he thinks HB is super lame, but he also recognizes that this space has given me an incredible support network over the last few years and that I have several friends from here that I see IRL, exchange holiday cards with, etc. it wasn't until we were deep into infertility territory that my husband started talking about our journey with other people. Now he's like a one man campaign for open communication and ending the stigma surrounding infertility!

Regarding your chart, your temps will really vary depending on how you temp (internally v orally and whether you sleep with you mouth open if you temp orally). I have seen many, many charts with temps in the low 96s as the norm, so I would not worry. I would discard that CD9 temp, though. Do you use OPKs? I have always found them really helpful since temping can only tell you you O'ed after the fact. If you have good BD timing on the regular anyway, that's no big deal, but I have always liked OPKs.

@dc yoga bee: So sorry to hear AF showed up!! Wishing you better luck this new cycle!

@septca: Good for you holding out on testing! Today would definitely just be a disappointment at 8 DPO. I really hope you're going to see a BFP soon!!!

@Ms.Mermaid: My temps post-baby so far have been in the 97s, but I used to regularly get high 96s for my temps!

@MrsMccarthy: So... I'm totally a creeper in that I thought of you right before Hubs and I went to BD town last night...

Girls, I think Hubs and I might be moving from NTNP to TTC-land soon!!! Which probably won't make any difference to ME since I've been charting and have crazy baby-fever, but it'll mean that Hubs will be more into the timing of when we BD and we'll probably have more productive baby-making sex!!! But last night, I said that I still wanted a second baby and he actually said "Then we probably should get on that because I want them close in age." Eeeeee!! I know we've been having unprotected sex and I've been thinking of baby #2 non-stop, but to have Hubs actually say that we should really start trying just makes me sooooooo excited!! Plus I suspect we'll have better luck if we're BOTH trying for baby #2 instead of just me, haha.

@Adira: Haha I thought you were TTC already anyway! I was kinda like that too, I came off BCP in Jan and though we'd NTNP till around March. But I got sooo into it, it turned into full blown TTC right away

ANY v-day BFPs?!?!

So I discarded the CD9 temp and it didn't change anything. I've been feeling pretty consistent low-grade nausea for the last 3 days along with some cramping. The less I think about the nausea the less I feel it, so I'm thinking it's pschyosomatic.

@septca I haven't used OPKs yet because we basically decided we'd see if we needed them. I thought my mid-cycle pain would line up with my O-date based on temperature, but that definitely wasn't the case this cycle, so I think next cycle or the one after, I'll start using OPKs.

My husband is just a super-private person. I think he just thinks cycle 1 is a little early to be obsessing on the internet.

@dc yoga bee: aw I'm so sorry doll. I hope you have a fun sunny march and then I hope April showers being you a beautiful baby!!!

@Ms.Mermaid: low temps can sometimes indicate an issue but most often they are fine. If you are open to it temping internally might help. Have you read Taking Charge of Your Fertility yet?

@Adira: so glad you got your BD in AND that your husband is getting on board. It was so nice when my husband was proactive last night.

@Radish: I hope it's too soon! Don't feel bad though because I was so convinced I was pregnant last month. It can really feel like you are. I hope you truly are though!

@LindsayInNY: Lady, have you tested yet?!

@theotherstark: This morning with super diluted pee. So ya know how that turned out... So dumb of me lol. Hopefully tomorrow is better...

@Crystal: Yeah, we've been trying to get back on an EOD bd'ing schedule. My OPK's hadn't been any darker this week until finally this morning it looked a bit darker than it has been! I'm hoping I get a + within the next day or 2 so that I O a little earlier in my cycle. Fingers crossed

@theotherstark: Thank you

@Lady Hibiscus: I'm sorry I never updated you, I'm no longer TBD. I'm a rollover. I am on my second day of progesterone to induce AF and then my next cycle, I will be trying 100mg of Clomid. We shall see!

Happy V-day ladies!
