April 22nd now at 8DPO anyone with me?

[tea_berries]

Just want to share questions and answers.  Someone to talk to Maybe we can talk about how we feel at 8DPO... I know it will be a long wait for us ladies but we are half way there.  

Currently 8DPO with third round of clomid.  Not feeling anything  but the usual rumbling sound comming from down there.  I usually get it before AF with cramps and lower back aches...  I am happy there are no cramps at this point.  I hope the rumbling sound does not have anything to do with AF comming.  I feel normal in every way.  Boobs are normal; no cramps and lower back aches so far.  No extra ordinary amount of CM just a bit of creamy stuff.

so I checked.  I got so much CM more than what I usually get around this time but it is still mixed with clear EWCM and really stretchy.  just like yesterdays but today it's double the volume...

But there is a catch. Darn.  I think I saw a streak of blood with it.  I just hope it's just from BD,  I think this will be TMI but DH seems to be in the mood ...sorry ladies.... we did it yesterday and last night.  It's just a small streak man, it usually comes the day before my period though.  I think my luck is hanging on a string at the moment. I just hope the blood is from DB with me being a bit dry down there last night.

I did see alot of blue veins yesterday afternoon. ughhhhh I am pulling my hair already

babyhope - My thermometer takes digital readings like 97.53. I agree with tea_berries. You have to take your temp the same way and time every day so that means setting an alarm on the weekends to do it. Becomes a hassel but can be very useful. I'm not sure I'm going to keep doing it. It gets to be a let down when I see my temp dropping. Like it's been dropping the last three days.

tea_berries -  How are you feeling today? any new symptoms?

I had to stop the BBT because it stresses me out LOL.  I had to set an alarm and keep the basal thermometer close so I can take the temperature just before I get out of bed.  I also found out that if I take me blanket before taking it will give me a different result from usual.  Also you you have to place the thermometer the same place everyday, so if you are taking temps on the left side under your tongue, you should place it here all the time to be more accurate.  Also sleep deprived and alcohol can affect the temp.  You will find more advice on babycenter.com I think but for sure they have it at fertilityfriend.com

Temping was no fun for me but works for alot of ladies who have become experts in looking at numbers.  I know scienceteacher is good because she had interpreted my charts for me in the past.

Ladies,

   I will bring the tissues!!!!  I am unfamiliar with the temperature thing.  Is a basil therm just a digital one with a 98.6 type of reading?  I was peeing on a stick and taking my temp for several months but my temp was all over the place and I didn't find a pattern, so I stopped becaues I felt to much like a science experiment.  I also was thinking you have to do that at the same exact time each day.  Is this right?  Now I am curious again and thinking I may go back to science mode.  What is the right way to track your temp?

skipili: Well they say high temps till 18DPO may mean something/  This is why I am doing it.  at bit stressful because once your temp start going down you will feel the pressure too.  I stoped at one point but started again when i found out that I o'd...bad idea I shouldn't have. Now I am starting to look other people's  chart if they got preg. even with temps going down... I feel horrible now

babyhope:  my officemate got dizzy before she found out that she's prenant/   crossing my fingers..... I wish I have symptoms llike that LOL

babyhope1 - I'm glad you don't get dizzy anymore. That would be scary while driving! Dangerous for you too. I'm glad you didn't end up getting hurt. I don't normaly get dizzy but did a little bit last week and then on Sat. which was more noticable. I read that it could be signs of pg and I'm hoping that's what it is. I also read that the progesterone in your body can make you tired as well. Let's hope these are pg symptoms for us. We should know soon!!!  I'm not stressed out...well this ttc stresses me a bit....but other than that I'm good. I also took a lower paying job and I love it. Now I enjoy going to work which makes it so much easier to get up in the morning.

tea_berries - it would be nice to get together for some coffee....and some cake :-0 plus I can talk faster than i can type. lol.
I've been taking my temp too. Do you think it's really neccesary?
