Hello sweet girl. I came across your blog and really enjoy all your entries. All the best with your efforts for a baby. Remember that I had Kate at 40 years old so miracles do happen.

@runforwine- thanks for your comment and suggestion. I actually have used the digital Clear Blue Easy OPKs since we started trying, so I'm familiar with them- yup! I kind of just wanted to see if BBT would match the OPKs and/or if they might give me any clue as to any issues I might have or anything. I just figured I'd give it a try since that's one thing I hadn't done!

Hey! I just came across your blog and I want to come back and look around when I have more time, but I just wanted to drop a quick note of support. I totally understand where your at in this stage of your life. We have alot of similarities there. I have some advice for you if you want it and you obviously don't have to take it since I'm a complete stranger but I've been in your position so I feel compelled to help.

I know you've been trying for a while now but is this the first attempt at actually tracking your ovulation? I tried BBT when I first started TTC but I was all over the map so it didn't help. A friend told me to go get a digital fertility monitor and I did. (clearblue easy I think - I can double check that) Much better. I realized I wasn't ovulating at all (long story that I'll probably email you about later today when I have more time). Anyways, I'm sorry if you've already heard this advice. I know how annoying it can be when people tell you what worked for them. But this isn't one of those "I stood on my head after sex" stories. I used it and it really helped me.

Things will work out for you. I know it! Hang in there girl!

A friend and I just had this same conversation this past weekend. Convenient timing!

I have never done BBT because my ovulation schedule is very predictable (plus I'm under the care of an RE, so I definitely know what's going on). However, I have a few friends that have done it and they loved it. Good luck!

Girl, I've been BBT for almost 2 years now! I'll give you the easy crash course and it'll make tons more sense. :)

Temping seems to stress some people out, but I kind of love it because I *need* to see things in black and white, on a chart. I feel like having facts about my cycles allows me to have some sort of control over a very uncontrollable situation (I'm neurotic, I know.) :)

Good Luck with the BBT! I used the LadyComp Fertility Monitor to do my temping and it worked out really well. It's expensive but worth every penny. We used it to prevent and not prevent and there is no charting. When I did my first month, the temps were so confusing but then they started to develop a pattern and I could basically predict what my temp would be that morning before I took it. Wyatt is soooo cute.
