    Part XI

    The poll is inspired by my current house full of pets. (We're pet sitting). Not nearly as exciting as the previous one lol. In order to make up for this, I'll include a picture of our kittens!

    Cycles TTC:  Working on our second!

    CD/DPO: CD4

    POAS date: December 9th or 10th I think? 

    Craziest thought you've had since TTC: Wondering if I'm allergic to progesterone. Is that even possible?

    So, cross post from POAS:

    Ok, so I'm done talking O talk! Wahhh. Why is my body not working anymore? Done. I think I'm jinxing myself, either that or my acupuncture is not working as it should be and it's delaying O. Last cycle was super long and the week I O'd was the week I didn't go to acupuncture! Could it be?

    So question for those how use Royal Jelly and Pre-Seed, Yes Baby, or Conceive Plus...

    What for do you take Royal Jelly in? I am looking at what JJ Holler took, is that the best?

    Also, is Yes Baby the same as Conceive Plus? When I look for Yes Baby on Amazon, it shows Conceive Plus. Also, any + or -'s to these or Pre-seed? Pre-Seed I can get at the store, the others it looks like I would have to buy online.

    ETA: I see that Yes Baby and Conceive Plus are actually different, Amazon doesn't carry Yes Baby!

    Gonna try to keep up with this thread. Sometimes it moves so fast I get lost!

    Roll Call:

    Cycles TTC:  Towards the end of our second (been charting since April when i went off the pill though)

    CD/DPO: CD27/10DPO

    POAS date: FF says the 23rd. But I'll be POAS on Saturday if I can resist tomorrow. Already tested yesterday and this morning (BFN). I had some cramping Monday night and Tuesday that I'm hoping was implantation-- never had cramping like that, especially at this point in my cycle.  

    Craziest thought you've had since TTC: Not sure. Right now it's the obsessive symptom spotting. I'm obsessed with my lady parts. I'm sure I've had crazier though and just can't think of them.

    Hello!  I wanted to jump in and introduce myself!  I've been a lurker for a long time but I officially went of the pill this month (we're going to actively TTC in January) and I took my first temp this morning...felt crazy grownup :).  I have PCOS so I wanted to start charting now to make sure I actually O.

    @MrsGrayIndy: I hear ya. I don't know how some people have it so easy, when the women who are totally prepared emotionally and financially and would make great parents have such a hard time. It's really unfair. :( 

    @glittermoon: GORGEOUS kittens!!!!!!!!! I love them! We have a dog (Bronx-10-Pitt/Rotti cross) and a cat (Nat-6-Siamese/Ragdoll cross). They are amazing! :D We also want a Ferret, but only after our dog isn't around anymore (hopefully not for a long time).

    Roll Call:

    Cycles TTC:  First Cycle.

    CD/DPO: CD25/I really think I should be 11DPO

    POAS date: Nov 24

    Craziest thought you've had since TTC: So many things right now. Want to POAS. My body is doing weird things and I can't tell if it's pregnancy symptoms or just me psyching myself out. 

    Link to Chart: I'm not linking my chart this month. It's a total disaster and I started temping with the Vagine-er club, so now it's even more messed up, if I'm out this month, next months chart will be a lot prettier.

    @Ms.Bookworm: Welcome!

     

    Roll Call:

    Cycles TTC: 3 - Hoping third is the charm.

    CD/DPO: CD9

    POAS date: I'm POAS-ing early this cycle (before AF is due) because we are supposed to go on a bar crawl 2 days before AF is due...so POAS date is 11/30.  I feel like I'm setting myself up for disappointment, but I think it's the right thing to do...I think?

    Craziest thought you've had since TTC: I POAS-ed while I was on my period.  Because it was so ridiculously light (I used a tampon for half of one day), I thought I could be pg.  Who takes a pregnancy test when they're on their period!?!?  This girl.

    Roll Call:

    Cycles TTC:  Starting cycle 4, 1st after MC.

    CD/DPO: CD7

    POAS date: No idea, sometime in December. Out of 3 prior cycles I O'd CD18 twice, CD25 once. Probably/hopefully somewhere around the 10th Dec?

    Craziest thought you've had since TTC: That stopping my B-100 supplement at 13DPO last cycle caused my miscarriage. I KNOW that's ridiculous, but I still thought it.

    Link to Chart:

     

     

    Kevin the boxer as a puppy! ^ He's truly my baby. When he's sad or he's hurt himself by running face-first into a wall, he comes over and crawls into my lap, and sits there with his face in my neck sighing to himself.

    ETA: I had a boxer growing up in England, his name was Jason. I also had 2 white lop-eared rabbits when I was 10 named Snowy and Thumper (original, eh?), and when I was a wee girl my brother and I had a guinea pig named George. George was eaten by our neighbour's cat. My parents were relieved because they hated him. Our neighbour felt so bad about it though, that he went out and got us a replacement guinea pig, we named that one Georgina. Georgina was also eaten by the neighbour's cat. My parents made him swear not to get us another one.

    Question for you charters-- does the temp in your room affect your BBT much? We usually sleep with it pretty cold, but forgot to turn the heat off last night so it was warmer-- though def not hot. My temp went up a little, so I'm wondering if it is related.  Also it doesn't really matter fo rmy chart-- I'm in the TWW and it usually stays up above the coverline and varies a little, though of course higher IS nice to see. Just curious. 

    And my chart link didn't work, trying again:

    @glittermoon:  I am not a cat person, but your kitties could persuade me differently. SO cute!

    @CuriousOne:  I'm sorry about your bunny :( I hope you never watched Watership Down, that movie scared the SH!T out of me as a child, and I cried SO hard when the hawk took Hazel. :(

    @mrswant2B:  FX for you this cycle honey!

    @Yellow.Clover: Your Kali is gorgeous! And, what an AWESOME breed mix!  

    @MrsJuneBee:  hahahahahaha WHY would your mind automatically go there? You know there's such a thing as doing it in a cup for future use elsewhere, right? ;) And the only one I've tried was Pre-Seed and I HATED it. I'm doing mucinex this cycle instead of trying to change lubes - I got pregnant last cycle using plain old drugstore brand lube.

    @MrsGrayIndy:  True dat homegirl! I know someone who's on her 4th pregnancy, which she was going to have aborted but changed her mind, and after trying to give one of her children to CPS because she can't handle the hellion she's turned him into. All while being on welfare, and having her mom pay her rent. I hear about her through her sister - it makes my blood BOIL!

    @nonimouse12:  FX for you lady!

    @foodnerd81:  10DPO! Good luck on Saturday! FX lovey!!!!

    @Ms.Bookworm:  Welcome! :) Charting will change your life - I love it!

    @.twist.:  Ferrets are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! SO much fun!!!! Don't know if I said it before, but welcome to the vagine-er club! ;)

    @hardtoconcentrate:  BAHAHAHAHA. But while it's funny, it's kinda not. Remember MrsH2DJ got AF, then tested positive a few days later. Her really light period was no period! I'm hoping third time's a charm too! ;) XOX

    @foodnerd81:  Your chart looks stellar!!!! SO pretty! (Your link is still not working, but I just deleted everything after the 1 at the end and it worked) And as for the temp of the room affecting your temps, I don't think it does at all, especially if you are temping vaginally. If you're temping orally it might POSSIBLY affect it a little, but I don't think it could elevate it THAT much as shown on your chart. Your rise looks legit.

    Hello ladies - just waned to wish you all luck and love where ever you are in your TTC journey.  I try to follow as much as I can but these boards move quickly! 

    Love all the pet photos!  My DH had two cats from before we were dating and they've become my kids too. :)

    Roll Call:

    Cycles TTC:  1st official cycle

    CD/DPO: CD15

    POAS date: Since I O'd around CD40 last cycle I can't really estimate - some time in December I hope!

    Craziest thought you've had since TTC:  I know it's crazy, but after following these boards I feel like if we do get PG on our first cycle trying it's some how doomed to fail or have complications.  :(  I know.. that's not a happy thought.

    @MrsPuddingface:  OMG - He is/was so precious!! I love boxers! DH wants a bull terrier when we move. I love them, but not too sure of them? I'd like to have a boxer or another lab!

    I know this isn't funny, but your guinea pig story made me laugh! When I was little I had a hamster and a cat. Well, we came home one night to a missing hamster with it's insides laying on the floor - yeah.

    And thanks! I wuuuv my Kali soooo much!!

    @foodnerd81:  I can't get your chart to work...

    I’m suspicious about B vitamins too! So, I started a B-complex after O last cycle. I'm still taking it, could the B complex possibly be delaying my O? Anyone heard of this? Ahh, I just need to stop analyzing it!

    @.twist.:  They totally are....DH and I want one SO badly, but we can't because DH has really bad allergies. He had a ferret as a kid and the longer he had it the worse his allergies to it got until eventually he gave it to a friend. We have to have short-haired animals only, and our boxer is more than enough for us.

    @Yellow.Clover:  Eww hamster guts!!!! I think it's funny too because I was too young to remember it clearly. I never had a hamster, but I once took care of the school gerbil for 2 weeks at home. I used to put it in it's plastic ball and let the dog chase it around the kitchen. I was a bad gerbil-sitter :S If we got another dog we'd totes get a boxer I think. Either that or a chocolate lab. Or a boston terrier (mini boxers). Or a brit bulldog. Or a French bulldog. ;) haha

    @terisa2012:  Welcome! And...you can't think like that! I checked the stats are having my MC and found that 25% will MC. That means 75% will NOT MC. Those are good odds! There are plenty of first-cyclers over on the PG boards! 

    @MrsJuneBee:  Thanks....and I know. To be safe though I'm going to do B-100 all the way to CD14 this cycle, then instead of taking it away completely I'll drop to B-50 complex. It's safe and good to take B6 during pregnancy, but they recommend no more than 50mg, so the B-50 should be good.

    @MrsEagleEye:  Your chart is looking GOOOOOOOOD!
