Does anyone else feel like a crazy person???!!!
I think I might be pregnant ....I'm probably not ....could be, I'm late and crampy ....or maybe I ovulated later than I thought ...My breast feels sore, I gotta be pregnant ...maybe it's sore from me poking at it to see if it's sore. LOL! Anyone else mentally wrestling yourself ?!

@xoxo, that's interesting! This is my first month charting temps, so I'm a newbie!
Question ladies: so as a first time temper- my chart has been very consistently low.. I've been temping at the same time every morning. My question is, is it possible to ovulate without your temps rising? I had one day that my temps went up by .6 so I thought for sure that I ovulated! But then my temps went right back down below my cover line. My cycles are pretty regular at 28/29 days.. So I'm just confused! Lol maybe I just haven't ovulated yet?
I've made my chart visible on my page! Any input would be great! :) hope everyone's having a great morning!

Hi Girls!
@Lammy CONGRATS!!! Its so exciting!!
@ Waiting Thank you for your kind words. My DH doesn't want to tell anyone that we are TTC. It's so frustrating Both of our Sister-in-laws got pregnant right away. I have a 1 month old nephew and another baby on the way she is due May 10th. It just makes me want one even more and I can't even ask them about their experience TTC. When we asked how long it took her to get a BFP she said the first month they were trying, but I don't know if that is the first month off BC or 3 months after BC, and I can't even ask to get some reassurance!!!
I was always regular before I went on BC but I know that it can mess your system up after being on it for so long but then I hear about ppl getting a BFP right after they come off. I don't feel very positive this cycle. DH says that I have to stay positive but it is hard when I can't talk to anyone!!!
Thank you so much for listening to my rant I am just frustrated!!
to all!

@S.Tagg, I would say no you have not ovulated. Your rise should look just like that one on CD13 but they have to remain over your cover line. As long as you are temping at the same time give or take 30 mins then I would keep BDing and Temping and see if it spikes within the next few days.

This is what I read when I first started charting and it has helped me understand it completely, well that is until CTP and FF state totally different ovulation days Lol
Do you chart on Fertility Friend too? I highly recommend you chart there as well. Do the "free" charting, no need to pay for a VIP membership! It is a bit more advanced I think then CTP. I use both so I can obsess over both. :-)
Good Luck and Keep

oh @Lacey that's the worst - not having anyone to talk to!!! I can't tell ANYONE we're pregnant for another 2 MONTHS!!!! You've got us now!!
on another note, i only temped for 2 months but i never made sense of it. There really wasn't a pattern for me very much and my temps seemed to spike to tell me i was pregnant when i wasn't the first month and they dipped to tell me AF was going to show on month 2 and i got a BFP yesterday!
I've seen other womens' charts that make sense. I'm still temping for anothr week or 2 just to make sure my temp stays up but it is up now, and seems to be rising which is a good thing because i'm always low low low on progesterone.
Good luck ladies!!!

Lammy,
It's safe to do pretty much everything untill the doctor tells you to stop... My sister in law... (ms. perfect pregnancy) RAN a 5k when she was 8 months pregnant... (made me so jealous) ...
but in the end you have to also be comfortable too...
Talk to the doctor LOTS... they will be your best friend (since they will know you inside and out)
I was actually NOT allowed to have any time with dh after the first trimester because I went into preterm labor at 21 weeks...
buuuut at 37-40 weeks they ENCOURAGE bd because his stuff ... helps with the plug, and can help you start labor, <3
Our men think we are so fragile, but in truth our bodies are resilient machines...
i am now 19 days dpo... totally missed my so far...
woke up this am with a little nasea ... and have been REALLY tired.
So tired in fact, I actually dropped out of a class... and am taking a break for two weeks from school ... to rest.
I felt SO exhausted. Hubby is wondering if I maybe diluted the test... because i took it after dinner on Sunday... (i waited the 4 hours.. .but i drank a lot of water too so) ...
Looks like we will buy another test thursday or friday night... and i will take it... fri/sat am...

@xoxo thanks for the article even though you sent it to @s.tagg but I horned in since this is my first month and I have NO IDEA what I am doing. I am charting in two places. CTP and Fert Friend. I have the Fert Friend app on my phone now. Like @xoxo it's fun to obsess in both places.
@mem I am so happy for you girlfriend! You can scream it in here all you want !!!
@lacy you can always talk to us. I am the same as you. No one in my family even knows that I had my tubes reversed, so this IS my only opportunity to talk about TTC
AFM:patiently waiting for my Fertilaid and Fertil CM to arrive. :-)
