1 DPO- (2nd Jan) 30th Jan

Hey ladies, sorry for going AWOL i have been busy with painting a whole 4 bed house with 2 living rooms and 3 floors and with moving in etc, plus not got proper internet so can't really get on :dohh:
Just came on to wish you ladies lots of luck and see where in your cycles you are :hugs: to you all!!
AFM- AF came CD 28 as usual but didn't ov till CD 19 this time so only a 9 day LP :cry: but i am CD 8/9 now (check my ticker :blush: ) due to the move and losing opks and bbt i am just having a completely natural cycle and using conceive plus so hopefully the 'break' will help a bit... although am bit stressed about not know how long LP is this cycle to see if its short again but i need a break after the stress of moving, painting, unpacking etc along with my mums bday (she died 12 years ago) and getting AF completely unexpectedly :cry: prob won't be on much until april 11th when my broadband is installed :happydance: aries, what date is your birthday again? must be coming up :hugs:
Miss talking to you all and can't wait to come back, hope your doing well and would love to hear if one of you has a bfp :hugs: :kiss: :hugs:

xxxxxxxxxxx
 
Hi Lupine! Sounds like you have been really busy! sometimes it helps to keep your mind of TTC and focus on other things! Maybe you OVd earlier then you think. On your chart, it looks like CD 14 isnt out of the question as you did have a huge temp spike..maybe yours temps were just a little wacky! :shrug: My birthday is April 1st :wohoo: Also they day Af is due..so hopefully she plays nice and decides not to show up at my party! :haha: Hope all you other girls are doing well tooo!
 
Wow things have been quiet while I was gone.

Aries it's true, you're already in FL so I don't wanna hear any complaints from you about weather! ;) :haha: jk.. It was really beautiful btw... aaah... so gorgeous and sunny! and I came back to rainy, cold 40-something degrees weather! Hey btw my hubby has the same birthday as you! aww, you're an april's fool too :) :hugs: Man, I do wish that the evil :witch: stays away from you on your birthday (and beyond :))!!!!

Lupine you sure do sound busy! The house sounds beautifulll btw! You have to take some pics for us when you're all done. I'm so sorry to hear about af getting you :hugs:... aries is right.. It's good that you have so much other stuff to focus on right now. Try not to stress about TTC this cycle and who knows.. it might just happen!!! :thumbup:

AFM.. I'm SO frustrated right now with my stupid cycle... I took 3 opk sticks with me to Mexico and I got -ve all throughout. The temperature hadn't spiked by CD 26 or 27 (I forget now) so I just gave up temping and I didn't have any more sticks to pee on anyway. UGH! I don't know if I even ovulated at all this cycle or when I'll get my period. You know I wouldn't mind waiting each month if at least I would get nice regular 28 day cycles. It's the uncertainty which sucks the most. I'm sure you all understand.
 
Welcome back H0peful!! Glad you had a great time in Mexico! :coolio: Was the trip for any special occasion?

Thanks fo the Bday wishes! I hope you're right about the :witch: Happy Birthday to your hubby too!!!

Sorry you cycles are driving you :wacko: Once I got off BCP my AF were further and further apart. The one thing I can say about the clomid is atleast my cycles are more normal. How long have you been TTC? Have you been to the Dr for your longish cycles? Not to worry you..my Dr did say that some women just have long cycles and nothing is necessarily wrong :shrug:

:flow:
 
Hi Lupine! How's the house coming along? and moving?

Hopeful - sorry about the long cycles. poop nuggets. the wait must be killer. possibly look into using soy isoflavones - there are lots of threads about it on here - it is the natural form of clomid and you can get over the counter.

Aries - where are you in your cycle? hoping this is it for you (and all of us!)...how's it going? almost time for our anniversary!
 
poop nuggets!! :rofl: I haven't heard that in a while.. hehe. thanks guys! you're so great at cheering me up. Thanks for the advice Dahlia!! I do want to make a doctor appointment soon and talk about our options so I'll definitely bring up the soy stuff. This is our 6th cycle, and since my cycles are pretty long, it's been about 8 months for us. When I told my (regular) doctor about my long cycles last summer, she said my body would probably adjust since I had recently come off the 4 cycles a year pill. It never did though. :wacko: I did get tested for PCOS though at some point and she said I didn't have it.

Aries.. I'll pass along the bday wishes. :) he was happy to hear yesterday that someone else shares his birthday! the trip was kind of for our 5 year anniversary although I mostly just saw the deal (on tripadvisor's deal website sniqueaway.com) and wanted to treat my hubby and I to some R&R. Especially with 2 grad classes this semester, we really needed it.

How's the 2ww going dahlia? and where are you in your cycle aries?
 
poop nuggets is funny! :rofl:

I am 8DPO. Going to try my hardest to hold off on testing until the 1st!
 
Girls! I got a bfp today!!! Praise God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First month of soy isoflavones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance:

I've never had so much of a sniff of a bfp in 2 yrs of trying. I'm 31 and dh is 40...so this is WAY time for us!!!!!!!!!!

As far as SS -
nothing much really...felt nauseous the other night but instantly better as soon as I ate. same thing last night. then for the past three nights my bbs were so sore they were waking me at night. other than that - nothing! in fact, I had my usual emotional outburst last night and figured af was coming today...also - I have my usual yeast infection that I get right before af...this is such a shock.

I'm shaking.
 
Dahlia!!! I am sooooooo happy for you!! :yipee: God bless you and your pregnancy!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!
 
omg omg omg!!!!!!!!!! :happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance:

xxxxxx
 
Thx sooooooooooooo much girls! I still can't really believe it. I'm praying that each of u gets yours soon as well! Love!
 
Well...that was brief. Mc. I'm back. Totally devastated. How r u all doing?
 
im so sorry for your loss! it just seems so unfair, i know God's got great plans, but sometimes its so hard to understand why or what He's doing.

Im praying for your healing, physical, mental and emotional. :hugs:
 
Hey Dahlia. Sorry to hear your sad news. I noticed in your journal. Hope you are doing ok. :hugs:

AFM-I am doing ok. The :witch: got me. CD 2 today. Spoke with RE and decreasing clomid to 75mg (had really bad side effects last time) and doing IUI.

Hope you other girls are doing well!
 
Dahlia- Oh no hun :cry: so sorry! :hugs: i hope you catch again quickly with a sticky bean :dust: Hope your holding up okay, we are here if you need to talk :hugs:
Aries- Happy birthday for yesterday :flower: :hugs: sorry the witch got you!
H0peful- You haven't posted in a while is all okay?
AFM- Unsure where in my cycle i am, AF due on my birthday which i'm not too impressed about as i am wiped out for first few days of af... hopefully will get bfp instead, but not likely this cycle. SIL is trying for another baby already and dexter is only 7 weeks old, completely gutted as i know she will get bfp before i get mine and we asked her permission before ttc as she had been trying for a year already with no success. Plus will be even harder as she under same roof as us :cry:

xxxx
 
Hey Lupine! Thanks for the Bday wishes! Sounds like you are in the same boat as me with AF or BFP on your birthday! C'mon BFP! When is your Bday? Also, I can relate with SIL situation (but not under the same roof). I love her dearly but seems to have no trouble getting preggo. I also love my nephews very much, but still wish for a baby of my own soon. I hope if your SIL gets PG again that you do too so you can enjoy pregnancy together! :thumbup:
 
Hi girls! Hope you all are doing well. H0peful- havent heard from your chipper self in awhile. Hope everything is ok!!
 
First of all, Dahlia, I am SO sorry about your loss. :( It really, truly breaks my heart to hear this news. I know you have a lot of faith in God.... keep having that faith. He's definitely testing you but you know He has a plan and that things WILL work out in the end. I hope you're doing ok. :hugs:

Aries, hey!! I just wrote an entire novel on your journal :)...

Lupine... Oh man that must be hard. I know I would go crazy if I had someone else's :baby: around me all the time.. :( Just hang in there. Like I was telling Aries in her journal, we shouldn't let this define us and crush us so much... There's so much more to life and to us than just this one aspect. So try to enjoy the new house, relax, plan fun stuff for your wedding and honeymoon, and try not to let all the baby stuff get to you. And remember, we're always here!!! :hugs:

afm... CD 9 today. last cycle was an excruciating 45 days! I swear I was pissed at my body. But it also made me realize that I just need to stop driving myself crazy and focus on other stuff. I gave my very first test in cuong nhu martial arts and got my first green stripe on my belt. :ninja: I also ran a 2 mile race 2 days ago and did it in 22:33 when my goal was to just do it in under 30 minutes! (I'm a very new runner) and I've been losing weight steadily. So I'm trying to respect my mind and body, and let things happen when they do.
 
H0peful-Wow! That is a great time! Congrats girl! Thanks for all your advice in my journal too. I appreciate it mucho!

Hope all you other girls are doing well! I am still waiting to O this cycle. My ovaries are being lazy and dont seem to be responding well to the 75mg. I have to go in every few days for b/w and u/s until my follies are big enough. I hope they start to get the picture soon and grow grow grow!! Then hopefully (FX) schedule for IUI :happydance:
