17dpo and going crazy!

Forums New posts
Not yet, gonna try to hold out a few more days and make sure my temps stay up. Still doing pretty good, feeling confident, at least until testing time lol
 
Jamesmomma I'm so impressed with your restraint! Once I get to about 10dpo I find it almost impossible to stop myself testing multiple times a day. I'm so weak! Lol

My hubby only came down because I made him. He's finding the whole ttc thing quite difficult to keep up with. Never thought I'd see the day when he would moan about having to bd!

My temp dipped this morning so I'm a bit annoyed. Hopefully it's just an ovulation dip and not a complete false start.

Hey poppygirl. Have you tested/ had blood test?

I feel you. TTC messes with your mind in so many ways. It's tough turning BD into almost a chore, that doesn't make anyone feel good. My DH and I both work so, sometimes we are just too tired! But I don't want to ever regret having not done it at the right time either... le sigh.
 
I've tested a few times, trying to keep a week between them. Tested this morning and bfn again. I'm so confused!
 
Oh no! With your temps it looks like you should be getting a bfp by now. How long are you going to wait before you go for a blood test? x
 
Julz I will probably try to get in next week. My longest cycle in the last 6 months was right around 60 days, so I figure I'll give it that long. I don't know that they would see me before then.
 
Poor you having such a long wait. I really hope it's good news!

I still don't know if I even ovulated. All my other signs seem to suggest I might have- opk, cm, cervix position and feel, but no temp rise. The hotel I'm staying in is completely freezing, so that might bring it down a bit, or I could have just geared up to ovulate but didn't. Will just have to wait and see.

My hubby got a call from the doctors today. He's had 2 really low sperm counts - total counts of just 12 and 10 million! So they want to run hormone tests on him. He's freaking out a bit. Up until now I've been able to pretend to him that the problems are all me, but he's starting to understand that he has a problem too.
 
Sometimes traveling can throw temps off, so hopefully you already have! Fx'd his next count is up!
 
Hey jamesmomma I just noticed your chart in your sig. I'm sorry the witch got you. *hugs* At least you're out of limbo now though.

I still have no idea if I ovulated or not. My temps have been so all over the place that I suspect my thermometer may be broken. If I did I'm now 7dpo, which my cm does seem to agree with, but who knows. Could be a long month. Lol. x
 
Yes, I'm glad I don't have to wonder anymore!

Hopefully it's not as long a month for you as it was for me lol! Keep us posted. Fx'd!
 
Hi ladies! Somehow I lost track of this thread. Sorry that the witch got you jamesmomma. :( I know that's always so tough, but we try to look ahead to the next cycle. And maybe enjoy a glass of wine because we can!

Julz, I am having a weird cycle too! My temp didn't shoot straight up, it was a slow riser for a change. Not normal for me. Plus I o-ed a few days later than usual, but it could just be last month's CP affecting this cycle. I'm in the TWW now, 4DPO according to FF...2 DPO if you ask me! haha. How are you doing?
 
Hey Twinklie, that's strange about your temps. They are looking good though.

My temps never showed a decent rise so I just gave up temping this cycle because it was just stressing me out. If I did ovulate I'm 9dpo now, but I have no idea if I did or not. I'm back at the specialist on the 28th November so hopefully he'll give me some clomid while we wait for IVF.

I like your wine idea! My friends getting married a week tomorrow so if the witch gets me by then I will definitely enjoy a glass or two!

Yeah, wine can be a pretty good consoloation! I know last time the witch got me, I found out before we went away to a wedding, so at least I got to really enjoy myself.

I hope you get what you need from the specialist. And I'm sorry to hear temping stressed you out... I love it so I feel bad that it doesn't work for you. TTC can be stressful in different ways for so many people!
 
I normally love temping. But this cycle it's all over the place. Either my thermometer broke or I'm having a really weird long annovulatory cycle again. Either way I give up! Lol. Just feeling a tad sorry for myself this month.

Aw julz, so sorry. I kinda know how you feel... this cycle I was just a few days late ovulating, and I thought I would neeeever O, it was a painful wait. So I can relate. Maybe you just need to try and take a break from thinking and stressing about it too much. I know, easier said than done! But I am thinking happy thoughts for you! :dust:
 
Thanks twinklie. I had a 106 day annovulatory cycle a few months back, and a few 60+ day annovulatory ones in the past too, so I'm always terrified I won't O. I'm just trying to focus on the help I'll hopefully get from the specialist next month. But I'm worried he'll just say there's no point in any more meds since my hubby has such a low sperm count and just make me wait 6 months for IVF. I'm not sure I can cope with another 6 months of not even having a chance cos I just don't O on my own anymore. ( my gp gave me femara for a 2 month trial because I was upset about waiting and that's why I o'd last month and I'm hoping maybe this month)
 
Well if it helped you O, I would hope they would give it to you again. Whatever works right? Have you tried vitamin B complex? I know people with the same long cycle no O issues and it helped them. They also got a clear blue fertility monitor since OPKs didn't work great. Everyone is just so different. I know waiting that long would feel like absolutely forever, I hope that doesn't happen. Once I decided I was ready it was like a switch in my brain and now I feel line I couldn't possibly wait!
 
I hope so too, but I'm worried because my doctor is just horrible. But there's only one fertility specialist so I have no choice.

I've tried everything- vitamin b complex, angus castus etc but no joy. I can't use a cbfm either because of the constantly high LH in my blood. At least with the cheaply opks I can see if there's any slight change in colour. It's been a lot easier to tell the last couple of months since I've been on meds which is good.

I hate the waiting. It's already been 14 months, and we've still got a battle ahead with me and my hubby both having problems :(

Sorry for the moan, I'm not normally this bad. x
