And so goes another month at this mind
boggling game of ttc. This is so
upsetting right now. I thought I might
have some chance this month, but no, that
nasty old witch showed up this morning.
So I will now be taking a break for the
next three months. Hopefully this break
will be all that I need to heal myself not
only physically, but emotionally as well.
I plan on starting to chart while we are
using protection, just so I can get the
hang of it and I can start to see a
pattern and I will be ready when we are
able to start ttc again. I also plan on
making myself healthy and loosing some
weight. I need to do that anyways if I
want to get my but in a baithing suit this
summer. The way things are right now, it
would have to be a full body suit to get
me out on the beach. I would like to lose
about 15 pounds so I can focus on
achieving this goal while I am taking a
break from ttc.
Good luck to all of you for the next few
months.

I'm sorry sweetie. It will be good to set
a goal to keep your mind off things. Even
if you do decide to take a break from ttc,
that doesn't mean you have to stop coming
on here. We would still love to hear from
you! Good luck with the weight loss!

I am excited to start charting. I read
that you are supposed to start on the
first day of your cycle, but how was I
supposed to do that if I didn't know I
would be starting until after I got out of
bed. Oh well, I guess I will just start
as of day 2.
Mc - I don't plan on going anywhere, I
find that I am completely addicted to this
site and I can't go a day without looking
at the posts. Thank you for wanting me to
stay though - I feel so luved!!!
DPrssed - how is the clomid doing for you
so far? hopefully you will get that bfp
this month.

I'm so sorry star. I wish you the best in
losing weight and getting healthy. I keep
saying that I need to make losing weight a
bigger priority. Exercising justing isn't
a pary of my routine right now and I need
to change that.

I wish you the best during your break.
You are right, now is a great time to
start charting. Missing the first temp is
really no big deal. Just make sure you
count it as day one and leave the temp
off. The first few days of your AF your
temp can remain a tad high anyway. It
won't affect your abilitly to tell when
you ovulated. Have you read the book
Taking Charge of Your Fertility? If you
haven't, I highly recommend it. It has
some excellent information in it.

So I should count my day one as yesterday
since I actually started af yesterday, but
just omit the temp for yesterday. Then
use today's temp and mark it as day 2? I
took my temp this morning before I got out
of bed and it was 98.17. I thought it was
kinda high, since my normal temp when I'm
not sick is like 97.3 or something. I
have always had a low temp. I thought it
might be because I woke up sweating this
morning. I have had really bad allergies
and have had a hard time sleeping lately.
I will definitely look at that book. I'm
sure it is packed with info. Do you think
I can get it at Borders or somewhere like
that?

Yes, today should be day 2. If you count
it as day 1 your CD count will be off.
Your temp can be a little higher during AF
because there is still some progesterone
hanging around. Mine doesn't usually get
back to normal until around CD 5 or so. I
always have night sweats during the 2WW
and during AF. It drives me crazy.
I would think you should be able to get
the book from there. I am currently
living overseas so I had to order mine
from Amazon. I am trying to remember the
authors name but it has slipped my mind.
It is Toni something. If you google
"Taking Charge of Your Fetility" the
website should come up. You can also
chart from there. You pay and then
download the software but I did the trial
and didn't like it as much as fertility
friend. Plus, fertility friend is free
unless you decide to go with the VIP.
Charting can get tedious at times. I have
been doing it for over a year now. But I
have to say that the information that I
have learned about my cycles has been
great. Plus, my doctor was able to get
valuable info from them as well and she
recommends that I continue to chart.

Hi Star Posted: 03-28-07 12:35pm
Hi there
The clomid is going fine. I didn't have
any symptoms, which is good I guess? I
'think' I ovulated? And dh and I were in
Playa del Carmen for the whole week, so I
didn't temp, we just b'd everyday...thank
god for Preseed!
I am on cd 20, and my cycle is usally 26
days long...so we will see!!! I started
feeling some weird pulling feelings down
there today, with a little bit of pink.
Hopefully it's not the endo and
implantation instead!
Keep your fingers crossed for me that I
won't need IUI afterall!
ps. I was in your lovely city on my way to
Cancun. It was crazy...as 50,000 people
had to spend the night in your airport
because of the snowstorm in the North
East. I thought of you when I was there
