Morning ladies - Saph I hope today you have beautiful doubling numbers.
Wavegirl - how you feeling this morning??
AFM - going nuts - I bought a thermometer and seriously wish I hadn't. I took my temp first thing yesterday morning and it was 36.8, then I took it again this morning and it was 36.5, THEN, I jumped on line and it said normal temp is 37 so I am thoroughly confused. Boobs are swollen and tender and all feels OK - should abandon the thermometer?????

Dellydoo - I think with checking boobs, cramps, stabs, cm, hpts, opks, and everything else, you could probably do without the thermometer. I have one in my bedside table and stopped using it when we started IVF. The charting drove me insane, and obviously was fruitless in TTC anyway. I haven't started charting my temps again because I figured it would just give me something else to analyse incessantly. Throw it away girl!
Saph - thinking of you today, all the best for billions of numbers.
Hope everyone else is doing okay.
AFM - feeling some slight stabs in my LHS which is almost like a burning sensation, but I then start to analyse them (!) and they go away. Stupid TWW.
Saph - just wanted to send you positive vibes and good luck for the BT today. Can't wait to hear the results.
Wavegirl - CONGRATS!!! I'm so happy for you. I can't even imagine how it must have felt to get that phone call from the nurse. How exciting.
Seph - I know how you feel. I'm so sick of over analysing every little thing I feel in my body at the moment. Hang in there.
AFM - Still not sure how to read my body right now. Feeling slight cramps and a dull ache in my abdomen that I get with AF. But Wavegirl's early pregnancy symptoms have given me a bit of hope that maybe it's not over yet. I am 12dpo today, and haven't had any spotting (yet). Two days to go til BT on Friday.
Dellydoo, I think your temperature varies during the day. For TTC you're supposed to record your BBT (basal body temperature) immediately after you wake up. That's a resting temperature. Mine is normally between 36.0 & 36.5 before O and between 36.5 and 37.0 after O. But it took me a few months of charting to really get a feel for what my normal temperatures are. After getting up and moving around your temperature would normally increase and be more like the 37 you mentioned. Realistically, your temps don't mean anything during IVF because they are affected by the meds. But I did chart (out of curiosity) for my 2nd IVF a couple of months ago - use the link in my signature if you're interested in having a look. Try not to let the temps mess with your head, they probably don't mean anything right now.
Thanks so much Juniper I feel a lot better and will leave the thing alone from now on! Will have a look at you charting to get an idea but realistically am crazy enough without further help.
Thanks again
Delly
