TTC- any news on the birth of your niece? and how's the fish tank looking now?

Jel, still feeling good? Just a few more days until your appointment now I guess.

I've been keeping up with my chart but I'm noticing my temps have been way above last cycle's coverline. Is this normal? I originally discarded some of the temps as I have been sick with a cold since Wed Mar 5th but I don't think I've had much of a fever so I put them back in. Maybe I'll just have to wait and see. CD12 today, I'm hoping O might happen around CD17-18 when hubby is home for the weekend. This might happen as CM is still in the sticky phase today.

feeling good :) no bad symptoms yet so I guess I should be counting my lucky stars. I am sure they will hit in a few days when I start week 6. My doctor's appointment is Thursday so I am excited to do that. It is a scary thing this first trimester.

Maybe your temps are up because of the medications you are on. That might delay some things this month too so don't get too worried.

Hi guys! Sister has been having contractions for two weeks. They are climbing up to the 30 and 40s on the stress machine now, but they still wont admit her since she only just hit 37 weeks. I really think we will have a baby in the next day or two, she looks ready to pop!

My fish tank is awesome! It lulls me to sleep at night. Haha.

I have been recording all of my temps this month, and so far it has been 97.6 or 97.7 every day. Hell week is finally over, so now just to wait a week for O and fun times! :) DH and I have a family weekend planned this weekend and then a romantic getaway next weekend, which should correlate nicely with O.

Jel - First trimesters are the scariest!! Awesome that you aren't having any symptoms though! Some women go through the whole pregnancy and never have any, so maybe you will just be lucky like that :P

Hgreen - Sorry, I have only been charting for a week, so I don't know how they go month to month yet. You did say that you started the primrose and a few other things, maybe something new you are doing this month causes your core temp to be higher?

Ohhh sounds like she's close now, so exciting! Im glad your charting is going well. Today is CD14 for me and Im hoping Im approaching O very shortly. My husband had a project that needs his attention in town so he's going to be home Thurs PM- Tues AM this wknd instd of just Sat & Sun so thats good news if my body wants to cooperate :)

Jel, how did you appointment go? Are you feeling a little more relaxed?

My appointment went really well, thanks. I have my ultrasound set up soon to hear the heartbeart :) I am little more relaxed but will feel better once i hear the beat. How are you guys doing?

Great news!!!

I'm doing well, on CD16 today and my cervix has moved up the past two days, but no EWCM yet. I usually only get the EWs the day before and day of O. I'm hoping to see that + LH test today or tomorrow. I mentioned in my last post that my husband (who normally works out of town during the week) has been called back for a project so he got home last night and will only be gone overnight for Tues & Wed next week so that lines up fairly nicely with BDing. Things are lining up nicely for once, so maybe we'll get lucky this month! I'm still waiting for my appointment with the fertility specialist which won't be until the end of April, but I figure since I am ovulating there's still a chance it will happen for us!

Yay! Finally got a true positive on my LH test this afternoon (CD19)! I tested yesterday early afternoon and it was just a hair lighter than the control line so I tested again at night and it was the same colour by the 10 min mark. Well this afternoon it is darker than the control line so I'll call that a true positive. Hubby is still home tonight (leaves tomorrow morning at 3am) so we'll get another chance to BD tonight. I wish we could try again tomorrow and the day after, but I'll take what I can get.

How are you ladies doing? TTC we haven't heard from you in a while, you must be coming up on O date very shortly?

Awesome, tonight is the perfect time for you to ttc! Add the preseed and good luck! I have my first ultrasound on Saturday, a little nervous. I luckily haven't had any morning sickness yet, if I feel my blood sugar dropping, I grab a snack as quick as possible. Hopefully, this continues! I am not interested in morning sickness at all.

Hi green I was the same as you this month. Got my strong positive ops in the morning and bd'd that night, and now DH is away for two weeks, so it was a bit of a one shot month. Fingers crossed.

Jel, that's so exciting! When my best friend was pregnant I went with her to all her ultrasounds and it was the most surreal experience. Enjoy every second!!

Well we BDed last night and hopefully that gives us a shot. I thought for sure I was ovulating yesterday late afternoon as I was having cramping in the left ovary area, but my temp was only up a bit this morning (+0.21), my cervix is even higher today and CM has gone from EW to wet so maybe I won't O until today. I updated my chart, but I'll have to wait and see what happens with my temps for the next few days.

GemmaR- how many days DPO are you now? Fingers crossed for both of us. It feels like a long shot when you only get that one chance and it hasn't happened in the past with 5-6 tries, but it only takes one sperm so you never know!!
