@Chuckles: and Iโm soooooo excited for you! This gives me hope for myself I am beyond rooting for you
-
@Kaohinani: This cycle could be different because you tried something different! I keep thinking back to how you said your PA thought you had a great chance this month! Every one of us has all of our fingers and toes and everything crossed for you.

@fuzzypeaches: I also saw that dosage recommended for people with a history of neural tube defects. I mean, a basic tenet of statistics is that correlation does not equal causation. So a lot of the time studies that show โincreased riskโ could be measuring unenumerated cofactors instead of what they purport to measure, so unless the authors state a causal link theyโre just saying these two things track together. And itโs really hard to establish causality because of the ethical issues surrounding research on pregnant subjects, which is the long way of saying nobody really knows. ๐คทโโ๏ธ

What do you ladies think of this? Aunt Flo isnโt due until the middle of next week so I donโt think the decline is her impending arrival, but a second day of declining temperatures is bumming me out... ๐ค

@fuzzypeaches: I was about to reply in full but Karenbeme got to the majority of what I was about to say! ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฃ
To expand upon the topic, 5 mg = 5000 mcg which is considerably more than the 400-800 or 1000 mcg American doctors advise. One must consider that naturally occurring folate can be found in eggs, asparagus, leafy greens such as spinach and kale, broccoli, brussel sprouts, legumes, nuts, tomato, meats (liver, too), beets, citrus fruit, seeds, fortified flour/cereals... the list goes on. The American diet is varied and plentiful comparitively to many other countries. In countries with high poverty levels, high chances of famine (due to natural disasters), underproduction of foods, and the implementation of special local or culturally aligned diets; many individuals are susceptible to fall victim to vitamin deficiency such as low B-9 (which results in facial deformities, neural tube defects, and a brittle immune system) so physician's supplement folate in significantly higher doses. Folate (or folic acid) supplementation counters much of the chance for neural tube defects in those who are afforded the extra doses in these communities.
@Karenbme: Thank you for the pep talk about my cycle.

Temp fell a little bit but chart went triphasic (@Sams Mom was right! ... I think she is a* Stats for my chart DO NOT include OV day (I OVed CD9) nor for my use of injectables with trigger since there were NO available charts within those perimeters! ๐ค

โข GraceandJoy* For any of you ladies who receive a "BFP," Adira had set up a Nov 2019 Mommy board a bit ago. (Please note, the December 2019 Mama's board will be set up a bit later this month):

@Kaohinani: Wow, mama, looks like FF thinks youโve got a pretty good shot this month, too!
-
@karenbme: I was playing around with FF and looked at my Due Date estimator. If I were to conceive THIS cycle (I still feel as though my chances are fairly low because of the past 37 mos), using my LMP, I would have a Dec 1st baby, and using my OV date, we are looking at having a little Thanksgiving turkey (Nov 28th). If we had a Turkey day baby, that would round out the holiday bdays in my immediate family. DH was born on D-day (which is celebratied in spades in HI), I was due on Valentine's Day but was born on Washington's birthday, my DD was my Mother's Day gift, and DS was born on New Year's Eve! I kind of hope, if I conceive, it is a Nov baby ALSO since our family has 9 bdays in December (including DH, his sister [same day, 8 yrs apart!], my DS, my niece, 3 of my aunts [the 3rd, 7th, and one on Christmas!], a cousin, AND my sister's fiance!) ... We are poor by Christmas from buying gifts!!!
-
@karenbme: I find my temps to be extremely variable, yet some other people have rock solid charts with little variation. Iโve never been sure what to make of that. But unlikely AF since itโs so early and you seem pretty regular.
@Kaohinani: Today you get a rocket
AFM, this morning is 3dp5dt. I still have the faintest if faint lines on my OSOM, and the FRER I could now easily confuse with an indent if I were doing isolated testing. I was hoping to get to stark white on both, but I think this will have to be good enough. Temp recovered some this morning too.
-
@yellowbeach: Thank you, lady!
-
@Kaohinani: Aww, thatโs cool that youโre all holiday babies! I totally feel you on the crowded birthdays, too. Of my 7 nieces and nephews 5 are late Sept-early Oct. and it can be exhausting in more ways than one. Thankfully we have a little more time before Christmas
@yellowbeach: glad that your tests are back to whitish. Looking back my temp has been pretty variable, too. Iโve also had two other big dips this cycle that Iโve discarded. Iโm still feeling good about our chances this month and got a bfp on the totally unscientific peanut butter test this morning, so thereโs that.
-
@karenbme: Peanut butter test?!?!? ๐ฅ I am intrigued. (PB makes me gag so IDK if I could get on board with any unscientific BFP testing utilizing it. ๐คฃ)
-
@Sams Mom: @Paranundrum: @FuzzyPeaches: @Bees_knees: @JennyLayneAZ:
How are you ladies this morning (evening for Paranundrum)? -
@Kaohinani: Haha. One of my first signs has always been a terrible after taste with peanut butter. Thereโs actually a really funny story that goes with it... The first time I got pg was right around DHโs birthday, and I left work early on the day to make a chocolate peanut butter tart for him. But when I was done I stuck my finger in the bowl that had the peanut butter mix in it to taste test (as one does) and it had a terrible after taste. So I tasted the peanut butter from the jar and it also tasted off. I felt terrible thinking I had made DH a birthday dessert with rotten peanut butter. So like 20 minutes later DH came home and I told him the whole thing, โI think the peanut butter turned... We can go buy a cake if you want...โ and he was just like, โwhat are you talking about I had peanut butter toast for breakfast and it was fine.โ The day before I had gotten a bfn so I wasnโt even thinking pregnancy, but two days later I got a bfp. And he got a whole chocolate peanut butter tart to himself for his bday. ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
-
@karenbme: Wow, what an awesome story!
-
@Kaohinani: I know, itโs like straight out of a rom-com.
-
@Kaohinani: your chart looks amazing! Even obvious to a non charter like me!
-
More light lines this morning, ahhhhhhhhh
-
@LAZB: ERMAGOD the bottom one is ~definitely~ pink! So excited for you!!! Fingers crossed youโve got a sticky one!!
-
@karenbme: definitely pink, but I'm still not convinced lol. Thanks for being positive though!
-
@LAZB: Thank you ... My chart looks decent but IDK if it is signaling a BFP or just high P4? (* So frustrating)
As for you - Those are pink-tinted and the bottom one looks darker than yesterday's! I really want to call it BFP ... I wish you were able to get betas to verify! -
@LAZB: I'm rooting for you!!
-
@LAZB: sending you all my fingers crossed!! Are you going to test with anything else today?
-
@Kaohinani: I'm thinking high progesterone due to pregnancy! And thanks, I wish I had time! We are about to leave though
@bhbee: thanks! And probably, just because I'm an addict lol -
Ok, so March 1st is the top opk here, and it was getting close to positive so I think it would have been positive March 2 so ovulation on March 3. I guess it could have been positive later so later ovulation, and I sure wish I kept better track now!
-
@LAZB: Why is your March 1st CD117? Weird.
-
@Kaohinani: those were from my last cycle lol
-
@LAZB: That is what I thought with the long delay in between... that and your BFP was on the Dec board. I was more concerned that you were on CD117 according to your March date.
-
@LAZB: bottom one is definitely pink!
@Kaohinani: I told you so
@karenbme: @yellowbeach: it might be more helpful with yellowbeach's shift work, but could help smooth your charts out too. In the FAM BC world, "night temping" is an accepted. (I'll come back with a link or a screen shot here in a minute). Or it might not work ๐คทโโ๏ธ
AFM my CM switched to non fertile yesterday. I know your temp shift can occur up to 3 days after peak... But I'm confused.
-
@Sams Mom: WTH, lady ... What is going on with your chart?!?! Perhaps, you surged but never OVed? Maybe there is a chance an actual OV will occur soon even with the change in CM? ๐ค
-
I was wondering if anyone tracks their cycle using cervical placement? ๐ค
I understand every woman has a different or unique cerv plcmnt throughout her cycle and, even then, it can vary from cycle to cycle but, I am confused by my current placement: Low, soft, closed.
I usually have a high (or medium), hard, and closed cervix by 10/11 dpo. Do you think the extra progesterone is changing the game and messing with me?Nevermind- I found some info. ๐ค Also, progesterone creams can affect cervical integrity. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
-
@Sams Mom: hmmm, that is Definitely confusing
-
Test with writing is from my pregnancy with DS2, but I put it next to the one for today to see if I actually saw something on the wondfo or if I have line eye. I still can't decide, thoughts?
-
@LAZB: IDK. Placing them next to each other is causing ME line-eye! Lol.
-
@LAZB: I can't decide ๐คฆโโ๏ธ even tweaking them I get confused.
-
@Kaohinani: ha!
-
@Sams Mom: geez, this is crazy
-
@Kaohinani: I haven't made it that far into my crazed tracking. BUT the fact it's soft is a good sign from what I understand, but usually it would be high and soft in pregnancy. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
-
@Sams Mom: Thanks for getting back to me on that! I started paying attention to the placement about 7 mos ago so, I am in no way a pro at it!
I found some info on a site and confirmed it with two other sources. (* I posted my findings on the post where I asked for help.)
