Krystie- I'm pretty darn excited about temping. I hope the thermometer I have is a BBT one. It's digital and pretty good. hmmm. I don't really know the difference. DH and I had a good chat about FF on the way home this evening (from rehearsal which was, um, interesting to say the least) and he was so wonderful and said things like "Don't be silly! I don't mind you spending money on something that's going to help us have a bubble" (that's what we call our future baby). Just made me feel good and so confident.
Jen- Oh, the link will be up as of tomorrow for sure! I have no idea what to look for (except that when the temp drops big time I should head to my new bed :P). I need all the expert help I can get! That being said, I wish none of us had to be experts!!
AFM: As I mentioned to Krystie I had rehearsal tonight and discovered that af pains are not very good when trying to sing. Before Lilah I wouldn't ever get af cramps, just get really nauseous, so I guess in comparison its better than them. But still- self pity party table for one!! P
jen thanks for the hugs hon...I sure need all I can get!
Angelbabies...I just feel like I am running out of time...ya know...sometimes I think I am blessed with 2 beautiful children and my wonderful step-daughter...so maybe I should relax and enjoy traveling and all the things you do when you get to my age BUT then I think...man I didn't intend to divorce fall in love with someone new and WANT so damn bad a child with my new love. Anyway...maybe I'll take you up on that shoulder later...if I don't calm down I'll be crying at my desk trying to explain to people who don't understand why I want another child anyway...
tutmae--I'm excited for you to begin temping! After a month, I still wake up early every morning excited to be taking my temp! It's probably ridiculous to someone on the outside looking in, but I feel very peaceful knowing I'm not the only temping addict out there! One thing you have to remember about temping, though, is that by the time the coverline comes up, you've already O'ed, so make sure you log info about CP and more importantly, CM--as that can be a very telling sign that O is coming.
Jen- See, tha's what I'm nervous about, the CM. (I don't know what CP is- damn newbie that I am!!). Since Lilah it's been like jelly all month (except for this month where I actaully had ewcm!!). Hopefully my doc will tell me to stop worrying, slap me and tell me to stop worrying again. I have OCD so no doubt I'll become a ritual temp-er. What's a coverline?
tutmae--CP is cervix position. I used to never be able to tell where it was because it all felt the same--but then I actually felt it at a time when I was O'ing, and can now tell the difference. When you're fertile your cervix is really high and hard to reach, so when you log signs like that along with your temps it gives FF extra data to accurately determine when you O--it's really cool! A coverline is the red crosshairs that come up on your chart showing that you O'ed--and it's very exciting when you get one!
smilanatu....ohhhhh goodness, sometimes when I read a post.... and I m sure its not just me..... but you sit there reading... and running through your head is "ooooohhhh I so know what your saying... or yep... i know how that feels" its like you ve been here... put on my shoes.. walked around and are telling me how they feel. What you just wrote is exactly how I felt about 2 months ago. It was my 39th Birthday and I ended up a few days later coming on here saying goodbye to everyone... maybe I m to old.. maybe i m just being selfish.. I have 2 wonderful boys... maybe I should be traveling now instead.. maybe maybe maybe...... and then my heart took over my head and here I am.. back again..... DH and I have been together for 6 years, married for 4 years in October and the one thing I want to do for him is give him a child and its the one thing I just dont seem to be able to do....... So you are certainly not alone in your thoughts... and regardless of how old I am... I just want to throw a 2 year old tanti.... yell and scream and say its not fair...... you know... really act my age
Angel B-- Save the toys for tomorrow!! Sweet dreams--I think I know what you'll be dreaming about!!!
tutmae--Yes, kinda squishy, huh? You'll notice when it's low, or when you're not fertile, you'll bump into it almost right away, and it will kinda feel like the tip of your nose. You'll really notice it when it's high, simply because it can be really hard to reach! It's really soft and squishy at that time. I promise the difference between the two is so significant, you'll just know--and you'll say, "Oh, this is what jen was talking about!" I've noticed the position varies on the time of day, so you should check it at the same time everyday. I usually check mine early, and usually only pre-O, because obviously it's Eww during AF, and after O it doesn't matter anyways because you aren't fertile at that time. I mean, it's interesting to check it at least once during this time, because at least then you get a feeling of the difference of where it is at different times during you cycle.
