I guess I'm lucky that it's the 2nd part that varies here - it helps to know when I'm going to ovulate when we want to AVOID conceiving lol - otherwise Willie would be missing out a whole lot more!

I do the BBT thing, I don't know why my LP differs? I do know that it is a little on the short side, but my OBGyn doesn't think that's a problem. He also told me that even when you are 100% accurate with your BBT temping you can still ovulate one or two days either side of the temp rise, so maybe that explains it.]]> Sun, 03 Jul 2005 13:10:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=548&PID=11507&title=so-frustrating#11507 <![CDATA[So frustrating! : Really?

Just wondering if everyone was aware that you ovulate 14 days BEFORE your period. So in hindsight, you can get an idea of your fertile time for the coming months. eg of a 28 day cycle - ovulation day 14
but of a 32 day cycle you wouldnt have ovulated until day 18! Sometimes people get confused with the magic dat 14 thing and may miss the 'peak time'. You can confirm this by charting your cycle with temps and mucus obs. This also means that if you typically have long cycles - there is not point in preg testing until 14 days after ovulation
Wishing you all the best ]]> Sat, 02 Jul 2005 20:32:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=548&PID=11487&title=so-frustrating#11487 <![CDATA[So frustrating! : I also noticed that, as soon as...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=548&PID=11394&title=so-frustrating#11394 Author: Roksana

Well we didn't really "try" this month...we had a weekend away with a group from our church right around the time when I should be ovulating...so with the deed performed only on the Friday night and us either being exhuasted or sharing a house full of friends from church and a really bangy head board...it was not conducive to baby making this month...

Still you never know...only takes once right? *lol* I'm not expecting anything.

All I can say is good luck! I found it really easy to get into a habit of testing too often when we were trying, it gets kind of addictive .
I am pregnant now for the second time (had a m/c last year, but this one has gone perfectly so far thank goodness) and both times I got pregnant we had just decided to give up trying!

My GP told me just to take the Pregnacare while ttc, because apparantly high intakes of Folic Acid for an extended period have been linked with breast cancer. Not proven yet, but there is some evidence.

I really appreciate the advice!! I will check with my GP.

I think the problem is that I've had some people tell me I need to supplement the Pregnacare with the Folic acid because there's not enough.

I'll give the doc a call and post and let you all know.

Man reading that i kinda sound bossy, im not really its your choice. I have just heard of so many people taking mulit vits etc thinking that they are doing their body good and really they were doing themselves more harm. A good example is a friends father (this is at the extreme end) had to go for a yearly medical for his job and they found that his liver (i think) was like that of someone that was a severe drinker (hes a tea totaler). Found out he was getting enough vitamin A (i think) through his diet but with the extra from his multi vit it was doing heaps of damage.

Hey everyone trying to conceive not sure if i have mentioned this before or not but my Midwife that i had with my first baby suggested taking vitimin E capsules 1000mgs per day as that is what her doctor told her.  I was talking to her yesterday and she said that i am the second women she had told to take it and has got pregnant with twins, not sure if taking the vitimin E had anything to so with it or not.

Good luck to all of you.

I'm pretty new at it too, but there's a website www.fertilityfriend.com that gives you all the info you need, plus you can chart your temps online. Basically, you buy a special BBT thermometer (mine cost me $20) and then you take your temp at the same time every morning before you get up. You should see a pattern of lowish temps then all of a sudden your temp will go up by a big amount like 3 or 4 tenths of a degree. Once you have had three days of high temps you can be sure that you've ovulated. Ovulation occurs on the day before your temp goes up, so for the first few months timing is a bit of guesswork, but after a while you should start to see that you usually ovulate on day 12 or day 14 or whatever, and you can plan around that.

This is a link to my chart which might give you some idea what I'm talking about, plus there is heaps of info on other fertility signs etc.

I'm on CD 19 and still waiting to ovulate which is a little frustrating too, since I always assumed that it happened around the middle of my cycle. Oh well, shall wait and see. We're not trying atm, probably not till after the wedding, but I've started taking my temp every morning to keep track of things.]]> Thu, 28 Apr 2005 11:22:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=548&PID=9566&title=so-frustrating#9566 <![CDATA[So frustrating! : Keeping my fingers crossed for...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=548&PID=9565&title=so-frustrating#9565 Author: AlyAyde

The bad news is when I spoke to the nurse at my doctors office she said if you are late by several days a test should be showing positive if you are pregnant...otherwise most likely not....boooooo....still if nothing turns up after a week you can get bloods done. Just in case.

Yeah I know what you mean. I certainly have learnt so much about what happens in the girlie department (or unfortunately for me what is supposed to happen and what isn't supposed to happen).

Luckily my husband has been really great. He did all the right supportive things during and after the miscarriage and is right with me on the charting etc. Sounds like yours is too which is excellent.

Yep I am in this category too. My last post was "ttc after miscarriage" and we are still trying!!!

I'm now on Serophene after several months of missing periods (that I'd put down to the miscarriage). It turns out I haven't been ovulating (or very rarely) so even the first pregnancy was a huge fluke!!

The spontenatiy of it all goes out the window a bit when you have to pay for treatment and then use OPK's, temps and at least two blood tests on specified days in the month!!! Still - worth it if it works!!

Anyway all going well, I am due to ovulate Sunday - fun weekend planned huh?! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is all the help we need though - even less fun if we need IVF or something!!

Anyway, best of luck to you guys, I have fingers crossed for you too.

yep stress can make your body do strange things and the hardest thing to do is relax, but that is the best thing. it is very easy to let getting pregnant rule your life, i used to spend all month obsessing about it and drive myself crazy. your age is on your side, i would just go for it and not worry about charting - it can take the joy out of sex sometimes (especially for men). ]]> Thu, 06 Jan 2005 08:44:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=548&PID=6628&title=so-frustrating#6628 <![CDATA[So frustrating! : there are some sites on the net...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=548&PID=6622&title=so-frustrating#6622 Author: mum2paris

Well fingers crossed - I popped down to my doctors office...I'm popping back for them to do a pregnancy test after work. If still negative but still no period by Friday the nurse wants to arrange for a blood test.

Knowing my luck my period will show up in the next 3 hours! *lol*

I think trying does funny things to your body.  I was getting all sorts of pregnancy symptoms.  I think the worst bit is not knowing.  At least once you know you're not you can focus on the next month]]> Wed, 05 Jan 2005 08:08:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=548&PID=6602&title=so-frustrating#6602 <![CDATA[So frustrating! : Wow I never knew how quickly trying...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=548&PID=6596&title=so-frustrating#6596 Author: Paws

Wow I never knew how quickly trying for a baby could get frustrating. End of month 1 and 3 tests tell me I'm not pregnant but no period yet. I think the most annoying part is that there are some symptoms there that might have been or might not have been and to see a negative result is mildly frustrating (I can't even imagine how others must feel who have been trying for some time). I think I'm just run down and the short time on the pill has muddled my body up a bit.

Next month we're going to start charting my temperture and monitor when I'll be ovulating (fingers crossed).

Anyway, thanks guys..just had to get that off my chest.
