re: FF Charts....

Oh man, all you people and the baby gender talk are making me really impatient for June.

Finding out gender is better than Christmas ever was  

About 3 more months to go. -sigh-

Perhaps I'm paranoid now because a few people have said boy nub or skull (their stated skull choice was the opposite of what's true so I've ignored that part), but I called the advice nurse and said I'd tripped over some toys and fell and hit my stomach and now having cramping. She sent me to go get a quick ultrasound check to look for bleeding or injuries. Of course there were none because I made it up, LOL, but I wanted to obsess more about the nub. As best I can tell, it's not rising any like some claims happens after 12 weeks (I've read it happens between 11-12 weeks and is done). The hospital has crappy machines without printers, but the nub was a straight white line pointing straight ahead and when baby lifted its legs it angled downward significantly. As best I can tell from watching, it's not going up at all in any position and we saw no bumps between the legs at all on a potty shot. Baby measured 13w1d today for CRL. I know nubs are not an exact science by any means and so many things can make them look one way or the other, but I'm holding out hope for a girl still. Nothing so far screams boy to me. I'm contemplating getting an elective 3D scan in a couple weeks though, so that might calm my crazies while I'm waiting for my anatomy scan. I know the odds of having three in a row of the same sex are only 3 in 100, so I can reasonably be optimistic. LOL

Making stuff helps me when I have to wait for things. I tell myself A has to be done before B can happen....this is how I'm coping with waiting to TTC right now!
I'm feeling kind of nesty lately. I have the urge to buy a chest freezer and make a ton of crock pot meals for when the next baby comes so I don't have to bother cooking for a while. But that's just silly when I'm not even pregnant yet lol.

LOL! I'd just settle for some decent sleep right now. RJ got sick mid January and it's been one thing after another and it's affected the length that he sleeps now. And I'm not sure what Brighton's deal is, but he'd sleep for 14 hours straight no problems. For the last few weeks it's damn near impossible to get him to sleep more than four hours straight. We need to move him to the crib very soon so perhaps it's just him being uncomfortable in the bassinet because he rolls all over the thing and whines and cries when he hits the sides.

that's nice to know.

I thought so too.  

Hey all.

DH and I have been TTC for our third since we got pregnant (unexpectedly) and lost it at 5wks in Dec. I had just had Mirena removed in Oct because of complications and in November I wound up pregnant... Anywaysss

Jan. 15th my AF came. Wasn't sure if it was regular since I had just had a MC in Dec on the 10th but I started using OPKs shortly after AF departed. I got positives the last week of Jan and had some other strong O signs so we did some serious baby dancing. Well here I am almost end of February and I have had NO period and bfns left and right. I had some light pink/brown spotting on the 7th but figured it was IB (now I dunno what it was) About a week late for AF I got a wild hair up my butt and decided to check my CM and position and what do you know? Signs of Oing again. So I bought OPKs and decided to get a BBT too. I didn't get the chance to have a six day trial before my suspected O so my chart looks a little off to me but I am hoping all is well and we caught this egg.

I had some questions though:
For the past two days I woke up at off times and this is the period in which my temp should be rising after O. The first day I missed my normal wake p my temp went up but yesterday I woke up 3hrs early and my temp dropped. I dunno what to think about it.

If I did o on the 22nd I am about 4dpo and I am crampy in my right ovary. I have had negative OPKs since the 23rd and my CM has changed to more of a creamy wet? Are these positive signs?

And last but not least does my chart look disastrous lol

I wouldn't mind being added to the OP for charts. Maybe others can give me some insight.

you're gonna need a different link for your chart. I've haven't been on FF in forever, so someone else will have to walk you through that.

temping 3 hours early will give you a lower temp. that's normal.

Creamy /Wet CM can be a good sign for some (was for me), but it's not enough to say for sure.

You can O even if you don't get pos OPKs.

That's about all I can offer at the moment. Good luck!

A I forgot to quote but ditto dream.
Plus after a loss it can be weird.
My m/c started Nov 28. Bleeding stopped Dec 9th and first Af was Jan 12. However between m/c and next af I didn't ovulate until around CD 31 then the next cycle (From Jan 12 to Feb 12) my body attempted to ovulate 3 times before finally doing so. Since you haven't temper the entire cycle its hard to get a grasp on what's happening. I had temps suggesting O at cd11 and even got cross hairs then it'd drop and start all over again. Fertile cm and co as well. At this point just go with the flow, keep temping, and BD with fertile signs. Your body can take a bit to readjust.

Thanks for replying   all of that was really insightful and made me feel better that I didn't have a period this month

I wish I never would have posted my ultrasound picture because pretty much everyone that's commented that's part of my friend list or in general that has a ton of the same gender are all telling me it's clearly another boy, the tech is wrong, don't get excited because it's a boy, etc. Way to rain on my parade! And now I'm all anxious and jumping and upset because they're all telling me it's a boy again. Really, it's too early to tell and could go either way, but I didn't need the meanspiritedness, etc. Was it really necessary to PM me and tell me why I can't possibly have a girl? People can be such smurfs sometimes.

Worst part is she's one of the very religious, church-going women, so it's kind of surprising.

I think some of them like to stick their noses where they don't belong.
