confused..temps are all over the place.. and a short rant..

SkyBaby · #1 October 13th, 2009, 07:07 PM

What would that mean? Is it possible to O without very much EWCM? I'm on CD15 and according FF, 7 DPO (Od on CD8). Should I get some of that PreSeed stuff? Is it available in drugstores or can it only be found online? Which particular kind do you recommend?

I tried to send a link of my chart to a friend, but it didn't work and sent her to a login page so I have to type down my temps here unless there is a way to link my chart. My body temp is typically a bit higher than that perfect 98.6, except when I O. My temps are all over the place though, so I don't know what to make of it and I'm not even sure I Od when it says I did. A couple of the temps were taken in later afternoon. For some reason, hubby didn't want me charting when we were up at northern california saying bye to his grandpa who just passed. He wouldn't let me bring the thermometer even. I don't know what the heck that means. He was annoyed whenever I mentioned it. >.< Those days were CDs 3-6. It was weird. So who knows how accurate those temps are. >.< Oi I think we've missed this cycle.

CDs 1-3: 97.7; CD4 98.2; CD5 97.5; CD6 97.2; CD7 97.5; CD8 96.8; CD9 97.9; CD10 98.2; CD11 97.9; CD12 98.1; CD13 97.2; and CD14-15(today) 97.9.

I almost don't want to take an OPK. If I get a positive and DH just doesn't feel like doing it that's just going to be one more thing to feel bitter about. He doesn't deserve to have me in a fowl mood when he gets home from work when he's tired and stressed out. It is still annoying though. :/ Is every 2 days enough? That seems to be all we can get in.

I am not sure about the preseed sorry hun. Sorry DH is being so grumpy. Maybe you could take a break from charting and just dtd every other day or so. I hope you catch the eggie.

Thanks.. I hope BFPs for everyone are coming soon.

I used preseed this cycle and got my BFP (which was a chemical....but still a BFP). I actually like to use it now even when I'm not Oing b/c it's much more comfortable.

Maybe I should get me some of that preseed.

Will a drugstore have it?

I dont know about pre-seed, I hear its really good though. I believe the drugstores have something similar to it. As for your temps, I would personally stop charting this cycle and wait for next cycle if need be to start a new one. I think with your afternoon temps it might of affected it a little, and I agree that it does not look like you o'd yet. I hope you catch the eggie with the every other day bd'ing, thats all it should take!

if you google PreSeed, a bunch of places should come up where you can order it. I suggest getting a tube with applicators. I was using preseed the month I got my bfp. I think you can only get it online.

I'm so sorry... I never answered your pre-seed question through PM!

I just realized that when I saw this post... please forgive me!

I don't know of any place that you can buy it other than the Internet but that doesn't mean you can't... I just haven't seen them locally here where I'm at. I went to their web-site & they do sell locally. Check it out (I narrowed it down to CA for you)... Pre~Seed Intimate Moisturizer

You can actually see your chart when you click on your ticker in your siggie so I did finally get to see your chart.

You're right your temps ARE all over the place. Can you go back in & mark days 3-6 as not recorded & see what FF says then... if it still thinks you Oed so early?

I know you really don't want to do OPKs but in your situation now it may be the best route if you REALLY want to know when you O. Besides if you are DTD every 2 days & you get a + OPK then I think you are probably fine since at worst you will have DTD 2 days BEFORE Oing & according to my charting software (ovusoft), there is a good chance of conceiving 2 days before (as long as there is creamy CM or EWCM present (which if you don't produce it, pre-seed will help with that)).

HTHs!

Oh, I just realized that i may have misunderstood you when you said DTD every 2 days... if you are DTD every other day that I KNOW you are covered. I have always only DTD every other day & got pg last time that way.

Hugs hun! I would recommend using OPKs too. I also use PreSeed

TeresaSuperMama · #10 October 14th, 2009, 05:53 AM

Okay, first off to get the link to your FF chart go to the top where it says "Home Page Setup" and you can find the url to your chart there. You can also look on the left side under Sharing for the Home Page Setup link. They have it in both places. If you post a link to your chart I'd be glad to take a look at it.

To answer your question about CM, I get very little cm now and if I don't look for it I can miss it. Even looking hard for it I usually only get one days worth and it's not always even EWCM. I definitely am Oing so I'd say yes you can O without noticeable cm. I used Preseed last cycle (the one I got my bfp on) and I truly believe it made a difference. Of course I am m/c now, but still I think it did help. I ordered mine online. I think OPKs would be a good idea. I know it might stress you out a little, but I think ttc is stressful with or without OPKs and at least with the OPKs you got a better chance at getting pregnant.

If you post a link to your chart I'd be glad to take a look at it.

Trish36 · #11 October 14th, 2009, 06:15 AM

You can totally O without EWCM. That is my problem lately. Looking at your chart it seems as if you either O'd on cd7 or cd12, but I"m no expert. Cd 7 seems kinda early though (mind you I used to O around cd9 or 10 before I had Isabelle, so it is possible). Preeseed is great, I use it because I have to CM. If you go to the site, it will show you which pharmacy in your area carries it. As far as BD'ing, every other day is fine. Sperm can survive for a few days, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Hope DH feels up to it.

Maybe give him a glass of wine when he gets home and a back massage etc. YKWIM. Hope you caught that eggie!

Kary♥RN · #12 October 14th, 2009, 11:44 AM

I think I would also play with my temps.. take those out and see what FF says.. If your temps were taken later in the day... (unless you got more than 4 hours sleep) they are more than likely not accurate.

As for the Preseed... I have to admit... the first cycle I used it I got my BFP last month.. (I also went to m/c).. I have used it this month.. I have heard many BFP's on Preseed... It cut down on having the use the Municnex or robitussin.

I hope you caught the eggie.. and Sorry about DH not being sensitive to you. HUGS.

krystal g · #13 October 14th, 2009, 12:14 PM

I agree with the advice the other ladies have given. I think your afternoon charting may have thrown things off...try to take your temp at the same time every day...your temp can increase .2 degrees per hour after you wake, so if you take your temp at 7am and then at 12pm, it could be a whole degree higher in those 5 hours. I think OPKs are really useful and this will be my 2nd month using Preseed - I like that if you use it you don't have to worry so much about your CM. I hope you caught your egg this month!
