If you hit quote on Paz's first post in the October thread you can copy and past that way.


Thanks for the new thread.

Can I get our little ones after my name we are ttc#1 together but it is #4 using the his-mine-ours theroy.

Thanks for taking over the thread! I know how much we all enjoy and appreciate this support and all the exciting updates.
Nothing really new with me since the last Oct update. Still Waiting to Know. 8dpo (Oct 31) and hoping to get an accurate (and higher!) bbt tomorrow morning since I was sick today and running fever. My temps over the next couple days will determine whether I test this weekend or not.

Happy November TTC, love, and quick baby-making wishes to you all!

Ladies, I want permission to have chocolate. It's CD1, I ovulated last cycle... if I drink a cup of hot chocolate to ease the cramps, will I prevent ovulation this cycle?

I want encouragement to stay off the chocolate, or permission to do it!

Why would chocolate prevent ovulation?

Thursday Check in:
Name: Luna
Date: Nov. 1
Where are you at in your cycle: CD 19, possibly 1DPO
Appointments: none
Symptoms if they apply: Ovulation Symptoms - headache, very slightly tender breasts, crampiness/ov pain, extremely increased sex drive (last night)
Testing: + OPK on CD 17, checking BBT, not sure when I'll do an HPT
Thoughts: Waiting for FF to confirm ovulation... beyond that, I'm *trying* not to be as obsessed this time around. I need to distract myself with other things.

Countrybound - Thanks for the new thread!!!

Chocolate might prevent ovulation because I have PCOS which is thought to be blood sugar/insulin resistance/diabetes related. I'm not diabetic and all my levels come back normal, but I've been on a no-sugar-and-more-whole-grains-and-protein diet anyway. I'm a little concerned that if I have too much sugar it'll throw my hormones out of whack again and prevent ovulation.

OTOH, I really want chocolate.

Yes, I think you O'd yesterday! Hooray for the egg! Swim spermies swim! You'll need 2 more high temps for FF to place your crosshairs.

What about maybe a sugar-free hot chocolate? I know they make them. I'm not a fan of sugar-free foods since they're so much more processed than the original but still. I hope you find a way to cure your craving.

Thanks! So... two more days before I know *for sure* if I O'd yesterday.

Oh, okay, I didn't know that. Hmm perhaps you should wait a little longer.

Yippee! I think so too! And we BD'd 5 times out of the last 6 days and 8 out of the last 10 days, so I *think* we are covered. Should we DTD once more tonight just in case? We are both getting pretty worn out...
 
#19 ·
songbird, i'm not normally one to suggest sugar-free stuff, but what about some sugar free hot cocoa?

thanks everyone for the congrats! i go for the official blood test tomorrow, but i poas again this morning, and it was still light but darker than yesterday's tests and definitely there. i told my parents and sister by telling them we dressed Luna up as a big sister for trick-or-treat. my sister got it the quickest, then my mom, and then finally my dad. they were so excited!

I wish our timing had been that great! Here's to high temps!

Welcome Pyrodjm- hope your stay is short and sweet!

JohnsCelticQueen- Thanks for telling me how to add the charts.

TaraRae82- Best of luck to you! Hopefully Paz spread some babydust to us!

songbird45- I always have chocolate, I had no idea it could delay ovulation. Whoops. Hey by the way... I had a dream about you last night... weird. I don't remember what it was about, it was just your name that kept coming up. Man I'm on here too much


AKA_PI- It's not over until AF shows. Sorry it wasn't a BFP.

filiadeluna- FF waits for three temps. You had a big jump... everything points to an O.

devilish_fetish/-xixstar GOOD LUCK TO THE BOTH OF YOU!!!

As for me... I did O yesterday and am so excited to finally be in the 2WW which is nothing compared to waiting to O after a Miscarriage. I'm going to work on the charts today but probably not until my son goes down for a nap. Your welcome everyone, thanks for the thanks.

I think you O'd 2 days ago. Looks like you've had 2 significantly higher temps. Just my thoughts. Either way, that's awesome that you got your O!

Duh... that's what I meant. It's still early here


filiadeluna- You think you're tired? We BD 11 out of 12 days... two of those days we did it twice a day. Owww... my body is done for awhile
 
#24 ·
I didn't realize that there was already a Nov TTC in our 20s, so I posted my update in the Oct forum. I'm sure you don't want double posts, so if your interested just hop over there to read it.

Sorry!

Good grief! You all are horndogs!
Why is it that DH won't leave me alone unless I'm O'ing and then I can't get it across that I want sex or he's tired. Sheesh! LOL One of these days, I'm gonna just jump him!

Thursday Check in:
Name: Nicole
Date: Nov. 1
Where are you at in your cycle: CD 12
Appointments: none
Symptoms if they apply: I pretty much know I am Oing within the next 36 hours. I got a very near positive OPK with FMU, temp dip, good CM, and woke up feeling rather randy.
Testing: ^^^
Thoughts: This morning I had a funny TTC moment. My cellphone alarm went off for temps, and I reached out for my thermometer, and DH reached out for me. For a moment I thought to myself sperm temps sperm temps temps sperm sperm SPERM I really had to think about it for a second, but I couldnt kill the moment and be like, please hold, dear, while I take my temps. Thank goodness I chose the route I decided, because my LH is surging! I took my temps after DTD, and they were pretty low, and that was after getting errr... hot and bothered


THANKS FOR THE NEW THREAD COUNTRYBOUND... MAYBE YOU'LL HAVE PAZERIFIC'S THREADKEEPER LUCK!
