Welcome KJames622! Under the TTC thread there is a thread called lingo. You should be able to find most of the terms and abbreviations there.

Do you know that since I stopped taking my temp I have been more productive! I really am not stopping with the temps, I just have been forgetting to take it lately. I get up to pee then come back and remember that I didn't temp!

Lisa - I hope you have better luck with this cycle. If you did O on cd11.... you have the bd covered! Did you notice any of those other O signs that you sometimes get? I think this month we are going to keep up the bd for good measure, too. Not a bad idea.

Kristy - How are you doing with the decaf Starbucks??

Girlygirl - Is your appt just for your annual or were you hoping for some testing? If you keep the appointment and your dr agrees to do testing, they would be able to at least test your progesterone level...

Rac, it is just to see the doctor about why it may be taking so long TTC. So, yes, just hoping for some testing. I thought about the progesterone too. So, maybe I will keep it...

Rebecca- THank you for asking. Personally I am not a fan of the decaf! Weird aftertaste. And to be honest no coffee tastest the same anymore. The week b4 I found out I actually returned 3 nonfat vanilla lattes because they tasted weird---- I normally do not return anything!!!! Hey Do you know about any of the Tazo teas that they serve at starbucks? I love the Passion Tea with a squirt of valencia but I have been nervous to get it due to the herbal/caffine info??

Kristy - I'm not a big tea drinker, so I don't think I will be any help! I think I did try one of their chai teas once, but it was far too sweet for me. It's weird... I can eat a pan of brownies, but a sweetened coffee/tea drink is too much..... Maybe ask your dr when you go for your appointment.

Hi all,

My hubby and I have been TTC for almost 6 months. He is getting his stuff (sorry if there is an abbrevation for spermies) tested in Jan, but I couldn't wait and just bought a Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor.

Any suggestions from the 7 that have little ones on the way???

Shannon

Russ- Welcome!! am a huge believer in the Monitor. DH and I tried seriously for two months, and got PG on the second month. That was the first month that we used the monitor!!! BABYDUST!!!!

__________________

Thanks!! That is really good to hear. My hubby doesn't know that I bought it yet, but will when he sees the credit card bill!!!

Congratulations to everyone on their BFP's!!! Maybe January will be our month since my birthday is the 26th. Wish me luck!!!

Southern,

My bday is Jan 13! So after 6 months of TTC, maybe this will be my month as well!!

Shannon

My husband and I have been TTCing for 6 months when I got prego.
We just bd'd for about 4 days before I O'd and on my O date.
That is all I can say. I used OPK's and temped and finally it worked.

Kristy & Robin- You guys are so sweet!!

Jmay- Thanks so much!! I know what a month!!

Leigh- Thank you!! Re: OPK's --Clear Blue Easy makes a digital OPK now that I used. If it is a negative you get a circle. If it's positive you get a smiley face. It really takes the guess work out. I loved them.

Lisa- Thank you!! I did call my mid-wife and she said she recommends I wait until I'm 5 weeks to do blood work since these numbers are meant to make me feel better and instead it's so early they could scare me and make me more upset since they will most likely be low. She said it is my decision and gave me her pager number and said to call her anytime if I decide I do want to test early. Then later I found out she finally got my b/t results from the old office I went to from after my m/c in Sept. (It took them 3 months to release them!!) Anyway, my progesterone was way low at .01. She said that even seemed low for just after a m/c. So, once I heard that number I decided to definitely do the b/t tomorrow and she said she is putting a Stat on them and I will have the results 2 hours later. she has funeral tomorrow is going to be out of the office but still offered to call me as soon as she gets the results. She is so sweet!! Then if need be she can call in a script for the progesterone. I feel like if I can do anything preventive this time I should. I will let you guys know tomorrow my results.

Adj- For blinkies, search for "TTC blinkies" you should find a bunch.

Russ- Welcome!!
