1 DPO today! My temperature started going up so I expect it to continue up for next few days and then plateau. I’ll stop checking one. It plateaus to avoide any anxiety about it. I’m feeling really positive about our chances this cycle! If I can wait i’ll test on 14 DPO this cycle.

CD 11 and expecting to ovulate at the end of the week. This cycle is weird. Normally my temp drops the day af shows and then goes down a bit more as ovulation approaches. This time it didn't go all the way down until yesterday. Boosting my body with omega 3 and vitamin B12. Got the results on some of the bloodwork and saw that my TSH had gone from 1.4 (my dr checked it both in april and september 2017) to 2.0.

A TSH of 2.0 is still under what they like to see for pregnancy. I believe they want us under 3.0 for sure and maybe 2.5 for the beginning of pregnancy. I'm hypothyroid so I take supplements and get my TSH checked once a year. Once I get pregnant I'll have them check it too just to make sure my levels are good for a pregnancy.

It's interesting that your temperatures stayed high for you at the beginning of your cycle. Looks like they will be good from here on out though. Get busy this week!

@FlamingoGirl13 - I guess there are different guide lines for what levels of TSH is ok, depending on who you talk to. Many specialists here wants a level below 1.0 if you are trying to get pregnant, especially it the couple are having some problem conceiving. Other doctors don't care, as long as the levels are within the "normal range" of 0.4-4.0.

Have no idea what caused my temp to stay high for so long. I just hope it stays low now and that it's back to normal.

you guys i feel awful. i'm using sea band and morning sickness relief pills but i feel nauseous every day. when i get home from work i cant do anything . i'm so tried even taking a shower is a hard task for me i just want to lay in bed but sometimes laying on bed starts to feel uncomfortable and i feel pain and exhaustion in all my body . are you guys the same ? were you like this Dragonfly ?

@Penny1366. I thank God for not giving me ANY morning sickness as I'm not the happiest person when I'm sick. My symptoms ckmpared. With my first, only got sick once but I think it was from bad cooking and baby didn't like it. So not sure if you would count it. This pregnancy, so far I got sick once but I think it was caused by an anxiety attack; again does it count. I'm more worried about this one than my first; calm as can be. I'm a lot moodier and things annoy me. Again, calm and collective with my first. Before my BFP, I couldn't lie on my stomach as it felt so uncomfortable. This one I'm fine for short periods. But have not felt the way you are feeling. I hope this quesieness passes and you get your BFP. When do you plan on testing?

@Dragonfly23 - Penny got her BFP last month!

@FlamingoGirl13. Thanks for the heads up. The ticker just shows that she is expired so assuming she wasn't and was going about it that way.

We’ll I’m 10 DPO today. I had a dream last night that my little sister had me take a pregnancy test and it came up positive. That’s the second time I’ve had a dream about a positive pregnancy test since we started TTC. I also caught a stomach bug on Sunday night and spiked a low grade fever so I’m worried about how that will affect our chances this cycle. No symptoms, but i’ve been getting over this virus so physically i’m fatigued and tired and weak. Well I guess that’s my update. How’s everyone else?

Ovulated about 2-3 days ago, so now I'm in the tww. No specific symptoms yet except that my uterus feels kind of "heavy" or something like that. Besides from that I think my body has some kind of "spring feelings" - I'm starting to have a bit more energy since the sun started showing itself a lot more. And I'm also feeling a lot more frisky than usual.
