Trying for a 2016 baby

Hi, girls

CD 10 for me today, with negative OPK. Moody as hell, for some odd reason. Maybe just tired. Getting ready for BD week!

@Nikita, haven't tried meditation per-say. I crochet to relax, or I spend time colouring in! I have this briljant adult colouring book with fine liners that keeps me busy for hours. It completely relaxes and destresses me. I tried it this whole weekend, and feel so much better today. Are you using OPK's?

How is the rest of the ladies doing??

HI Ladies,

@Anzel - have you tried meditation? It is horrible to forget things. And you must be careful, you don't want your body to burn out. I had that happen to me once, it was horrific really. Maybe get some rescue remedy drops?

AFM - on CD11
CD10 - 36.2
CD11 - 36.3
So it might be O time.... I also still have EWCM
Now the down side is.... DH is sick so we might be out for this season.
I blame it on this wonderful silly weather
Hopefully one spermy catches the egg......... I will just wait and see.


How is everyone doing?

Hi, ladies

Apologies for being so quiet on the forum. I am exhausted, so exhausted that I am starting to forget things. Two days ago I started noticing that I would ask hubby the same question in a matter of a few minutes, completing forgetting that I asked the question and what his response was. The other night he comes in from work and tells me about his day, I even responded. Later, when I walked to the kitchen, I saw a bottle of carrot salad and asked him where it is from - It was the first time I've seen it! THen he laughed and said: "My vrou, daar is iets fout met jou!" He apparently told me all about him helping a old lady with her computer and how she rewarded him with this bottle of carrot salad. Apparently I even responded to that! Can't believe it! To make it worse, yesterday morning hubby was struggling to print a few documents for me before work. Eventually I said he should leave it and email me so that I can print it at work. Before I left, however, the printer finally kicked it. He handed me the documents in my hand; I even put it in my red envelope in my bag. Left for work; after a half an hour, I whatsapp him to ask him when is he going to mail me the docs, completely forgetting that I have hard copies in my bag!

This is driving me insane! I must be extremely exhausted, mentally and physically, for me to forget stuff like this! My head is like a computer - I know holiday dates for next year already. And now that I forget everything, it is frustrating me. It makes me anxious and irritable and frustrated with myself. So annoyed with myself!!

Anyhow, I am CD 6, preparing for ovulation week next week. I have all my OPK's ready, and have planned how we are going to approach this whole thing, seeing that I'm so tired. Poor hubby - He wants attention in the bedroom, but I just can't muster up enough energy. Everything seems to tiring!

@Nikita - Those temps look really consistent. Could be that the temp drop means ovulation is coming?? Let us know what your temps are like in the morning. Good luck!

@Sugar - I bought a digital thermometer from Clicks when I used to temp. The digital one shows two digits after the decimal, so it is quite accurate. You could try it! Use it first thing in the morning - Keep it close to your bed, so you won't have to move or get up to get it. Also try to take your temps at the same time everyday. It was hard for me, because I tend to wake up at 6 in the week, and then at 8 over weekends, so mine was a bit over the place. Good luck!

@Chanti - So excited that your appointment is booked! Holding thumbs for you guys!

@Em - Good luck with BD week! Holding thumbs! Keep us updated.

@Jooste, how are you, my dear? Any updates?

@chanti - I'd like to start temping. Could be good practice for when AF finally arrives. Can i use a normal thermometer? I have read that i have to do it first thing in the morning. Any other tips?

@Chanti - I am not sure This is crazy temps for me. Normally it would stay on 36.4 and on CD10/CD 11 it would drop and next day shoot up again.
CD1 - 36.3
CD2 - 36.4
CD3 - 36.4
CD4 - 36.2
CD5 - 36.3
CD6 - 36.3
CD7 - 36.4
CD8 - 36.3
CD9 - 36.1
And I just realised that I am on CD9 this week is hectic seriously
So maybe it is pre-O temp? Really not sure. Maybe I should just ride this wave or what ever it is lol
O and I double checked my thermometer it works..
This is just crazy really. I temp so that I can actually pin point O, but clearly it wants to confuse me.

Are you excited for the app?

@Nikita - Is your temp drop not the Pre-O temp drop? Mine used to dip and then sky rocket

Hi Ladies,

@Chanti - Thank you

@Jooste - you can say that again

@EmJ - it is funny when you actually BD on a schedule, DH and I make jokes about it. Last night after we got home from an appointment I told him I am actually thinking of how bad I want to BD, I am so tired lol he looked at me and said he is thinking the same thing and then he said: well lets get this over with
Somehow I find it fun and interesting, because you have to somehow find the humour and fun in that schedule.

AFM - CD8 and huge drop in my temp
my body is confusing me, and I really don't like it to be confused
Busy week and my weekend doesn't look any better

All the happy stuff to you ladies
