  • But with your days all funky you could have a long lp though huh?

    Yay, good luck!  I would test tomorrow, but not really worry about it for the concert.  From what I've read, drinking at the stage when you've just fertilized the egg doesn't have any effect on the baby, because it's not feeding off you yet - to use a gross term for what they eventually do.

  • Feeding off you :-) lol

    Oh and RESULTS PLEASE!!!

  • So saturday was negative.  This morning was also negative.  My temp is slowly going down but is still higher than normal.  But I have a feeling I'm out this month. Crying  Just have to wait a couple days and see if AF comes and also see what happens with my temps.

  • Eck Im sorry :-( I don't do the temp thing but that's weird they didn't go down right away if you were'nt KU...
  • I know!  I've been stalking other temping charts that ended up being postitive and there are some that are similar to mine so i guess there's still hope for now.... like i said, the next couple days will tell a lot.

    Okay, so I've got no way of knowing if it made a difference, but the month I got my BFP is the first one that I ate pineapple core.  You do it for the first 5 days post ovulation.  I just cut all the flesh into 5 portions, and the core wasn't bad when you're eating it with the regular part of the pineapple.

  • Well if Im not preggers this month I might have to try the pineapple thing!

    With E I didn't get my BFP until I was a week late and I have always been clockwork. Remember it isn't over until AF shows!

  • It's so frustrating b/c I've had "symptoms" that woudl have led me to believe it will happen this month.  But, yes, it's not over until AF shows up! 

    I have a friend who has 3 kids, and with 2 of them, she couldn't get a postive HPT until she was around 5 months!

  • ^^^ See!! Everybody is different!! Maybe TMI but usually Im really dry and boobs only hurt for a day or 2 before AF but they've been hurting for like 5 days now and I have CCM going on...Im hopeful!! When is AF due?

    Holy crap, 5 months!  That's nuts. 

    H and I were laughing last night that it feels like I've been pg for months, and I'm not even officially 8 weeks.  It's gonna be a long 9ish months!  I almost envy folks like my CW who didn't find out she was pg with her first until she was 4 months.  She was working on this huge project here, 80-hour weeks (which explained her fatigue) and didn't have any MS with him.

  • ok....WTF are you guys talking about? pineapples???

    we're supposed to be trying to get preggers, but nothing happening.  I suspect we're not trying hard enough.

    What's this about pineapples???

    I lurked on the Getting Pregnant board here on TN for a couple months.  There are a few things they talk about a lot that I followed, including the ovulation predictor test (or OPKs) that I bought cheap cheap from Amazon, the super cheap pg tests (also from Amazon), and then the pineapple core.  There's supposedly some enzyme that is found in pineapple core that helps your lining be thicker, or something like that.  Apparently you can find it in pill form, but it's supposed to be more potent when it's fresh.  Luckily I lurve pineapple, so I happily ate it.

    There's also pomegranate juice, which is supposed to do something at some point in your cycle, but I didn't bother.  And green tea helps increase your CM; you drink it pre-O.  I added that in as well, but it was just a substitute for my regular black tea in the morning, so it wasn't any work, unlike the pineapple.

  • There are alot of natural things you can eat/drink that help with getting ku :-) I don't know if the GP board here has it but over on babycenter.com their TTC board has a bunch of weird/interesting thing you can ingest in order to conceive. There are also things you can ingest that will sway gender. Also like moleson some ladies chart their BBT and use OPKs. We haven't made that jump yet. Timing is everything though!

  • This is the first full month that I did my temps (along with ovulation kits) and that really helped!  I always thought I "knew" when I ovulated based upon other factors, but I was waaaaaaaaaay off.  Having my temps recorded really helped b/c they change so much when you ovulate.

    That's cool!  I temped one month just to see if I could see the clear ovulation, and then got lazy.  But it is really sort of empowering to be able to look at your chart and see when you O.

    The last two months I just did OPKs, and that worked for me since I'm a pretty consistent early O'er.

  • OOHHH....wow.  So much I didn't know.

     I want to start checking my temps but it seems gross.

    I do have the ovulation test strips though.  I think we are going to have to go see a doctor soon.
