TTC 2012 Group Year of the ball, Year of the bump

Hi Laliek!

Woohoo for lossing 2kg! I just are a big chocolate, so i feel very guilty... plus DH says he is making us yummy home made burgers tonight (he used to be a chef so all his food is define!)... i defnitely need to follow your example and get my bum into shape!

Sorry about getting emotional about TTC, but us ladies here are just as emotional (or least i think i am) so you are not missing much!

Yay! Thank you Tracy! I dont think I would have been very happy to continue charting if i had to stick something up there each morning!

Tracy - yip, and it was quite a breakdown I must admit!!!

Hayley - yes I didn't want to log onto Moomie with everyone still talking about TTC etc (no offence to anyone ). I wanted to get my mind clear first and not concentrate on TTC and that is a bit difficult to do if your on a site for TTC

I did one accupuncture session, it's quite relaxing but I decided not to do more for now as that will also make me think about TTC and I'd rather go ahead with it again once we decide when our next IUI will be

TaNasha : Nope.....mine is ORALLY....there is NO way I'm shoving long, cold objects into any other area than my mouth!!!!
And my chart (and most of the other ladies) is quite "good looking"...so no need to be putting that thing in other areas....
However, having said that, I have heard it is quite fine to take your temp that way too......and that YES, it may just be more accurate.....so if you PROMISE me you WON'T ever put that thermometer back in your mouth once have you tried one of those other areas, then I give you my full support in your decision

Laliek : HI!!! So glad to hear you are over your emotional part.....it WILL pay off in the long run, and will end up in that BFP.....
You were bound to have a small break-down after being so into TTC for so long...it's completely natural....

Esmari : Sorry to see you go, I really am!!! PLEASE come back asap....we will miss you!

Laliek, hello long lost friend... Where you been?? Or have you been distancing yourself alittle?
How did you acupuncture go?

Hi girls

Haven't been around in quite a while so I thought I'll pop in and say hi!

Hayley - holding everything crossed fxfxfx
Esmari - so sorry about AF and I wish you all the best. Please don't be a stranger
Andy, Tanasha, Tracy, Ika - how are you all?
Lucy - holding thumbs for your scan please update asap!
2KM - sorry about the sad news - good luck hun

AFM: Nothing much to report on this side. I'm eating healthy lately as part of my journey to ttlw - lol, but I'm still struggling with getting on with the excercise But getting there slowly. I've lost about 2kg so far, so hoping I can turn that into 15kg more!!

During the past 2 weeks that I've been taking a break I had quite a tough time and didn't realise how much TTC was affecting me. We've been doing this for 14 months non-stop, charting, OPKíng, 2 IUI's later so eventually last week when I had no more TTC to think of and no IUI planned it all hit me at once!! I was sooo emotional, didn't want to stop with TTC for 3 months, feeling a bit lost and feeling like we're wasting time and possible good ovulations, DH and I were fighting over this...oi, can't believe how TTC took hold of my life and now that it wasn't there I was so out of it!!

But anyway, all is good now and I'm actually welcoming the break as it's quite relaxing not knowing which CD your on and when your ovulating

I'm hoping I'll be ready and all rest out after our break and ready to get on the wagon again but we'll see when we get there

How do you ladies take your temp?

I have been doing it orally but i just ready that it should be done via the anus (I hate this word but can;t think of anything better) or vaginally ? That might be why my chart is all weird?
