Hellobee Boards

@Kaohinani: I see that you got your tempdrop and love it, YAY! I'm so glad!!! Have you reached your 30+ days yet where the algorithm kicks in? If not, I would not put to much stock into random highs and lows. If you look at the raw data they're using it's crazy how wild your temp can be during a single night and it might have just picked a low point that night. I think the overall trend in temp is all you can really rely on.

@BadgerMom: I have been taking my BBT with oral temps (5 am) while using my tempdrop. They are pretty much aligned. There is a approximate .50°F differential (oral is lower) but every day that I have had an increase or decrease, they have aligned. My OV was accurate based on comparing to oral temps and opks for my LH surge. If I don't get my BFP this month, I will use tempdrop in tandem with my bbt thermometer and OPKs for one more month before just moving on to tempdrop and OPKs. I LOVE it. Thank you soooooooo much for your suggestion to check it out!

@foodiebee: Honestly, it flashed through my mind but I dismissed it ... getting thirsty and producing a rash seems to be odd side effects of a thermal or hormonal shift. It would make sense if it were a flush rather than a rash. IDK, it was all just so weird. Perhaps, my immune system was suppressed or fighting something for a bit. #Perplexing

@Sams Mom: If it makes you feel any better, this morning, my DH showed me an update from someone in his old company. It was their pregnancy announcement... It showed the guy DH worked with and his wife getting rid of all of their alcohol and "adult" party games (strip poker, etc) and says,"The good times are over. We are knocked up." Neither one really wanted kids but both of their parents REALLY wanted to be grandparents so (I think) that is why they are doing it. They aren't very responsible either. DH and I hope having a baby will teach them to grow up. Inside, I was a bit upset to see the announcement. Why not me?!?!? Instead of my normal "lunch salad with meat" or vegetable soup, I had pepperoni and cheese and 19 jalapeno chips. #StupidPeopleShouldntProcreate. #IKnowImBeingUncharacteristicallyMeanButCMON!

@foodiebee: AMEN! I don't get upset at people's great fortune to conceive. What upsets me is when people (a) have an attitude about it OR (b) don't want the pregnancy and have made it known but still announce it in a "grandiose" manner which will garner them immense attention for simply being "the saint that had a baby even when she/they didn't want to." That infuriates me. 🤬

My results came back really strong. Level up to 116 and doubling time of only 33 hours! I'm starting to let my breath out a little bit, at least in the short term. I'm not released from every two day blood draws yet, but they went out on a limb and scheduled my location confirmation ultrasound for next Friday! Thank you to everyone on this board for all of your support. This might finally be our bean

@foodiebee: @Kaohinani: Exactly! I am very sad for a little bit when people announce that wanted a baby whether they tried for months/years or just a couple. It's just hard when it's from someone that constantly says they're not in the right place, they don't need another one, they should be preventing more than they are... so on so forth.

@karenbme: Hurray!

@Kaohinani: I'm having a reminiscing over baby pictures hormone day, so I had to change it to my favorite hospital picture of him

Thank you, I am still stewing over getting it. I've also talked to mamabear about her ava... So yeaaaaaa... Lots of marinating to be done

@karenbme: That's great - congrats!

@Sams Mom: @Kaohinani: Speaking of CD21 tests, if my cycle is longer than 28 days do I go in for one at 7dpo?

@karenbme: YAY that is great news!! Hope those levels continue to climb!

@Sams Mom: thanks! It would help if I could confirm ovulation first before scheduling the CD21 test... lol

@karenbme: Such great news!!

Effffffff. Is this positive? CD 13. I made a comparison with my maybe positive the other day. What do you think? HELP! (Negative yesterday)

@QBbride: 🤔 gosh IDK - just BD all over the place just in case 🤷‍♀️

Thanks ladies! Argh so annoying not knowing what’s going on. We BD’d the last two nights but will try for the next few nights.

In FF I changed my OPK to positive today and it changed my O date till tomorrow (CD 14) from yesterday I think.

@Sams Mom: the bottom one was pretty dry and then I accidentally dropped it in the sink when I was trying to take a photo and the sink turned on automatically when I tried to retrieve it. At work no less 🤣🤣🤣

@lioness21: can you hold your pee that long?? If so I’m impressed. I always have to wake up and go right away. We are here for you if you need POAS support!

@Yellowbeach: I walled you, hun. Have a SPECTACULAR day TODAY! 🤞

@QBbride: Yeah I'd keep BDing if I were you! I know this is terrible but I hate when that happens to me when I think I'm done BDing for the month. It's exhausting sometimes!

@Kaohinani: hmm I don’t see a downward trend 🤔 your chart looks great!!!

@creativemomma15: yes I would say that’s positive! YAY! Good luck!!!

AFM, ugh I fell asleep super early last night before we could BD but I wondered if I O’d overnight. Definitely feeling “drier” this morning. I will get tonight in for sure. IF I O’d today, I will get O, O-2, O-3 and O-5.
