2014 Testers wanna join?!?! Join in on the POAS fun!!!

[jelly tots]

Thanks everyone, will just have to wait and see what this week brings.
Got other things to focus on to take my mind off it, baking my first ever commissioned cake, got my last week at this current job next week, it's coming up to month end and I'm learning to crochet. So all busy busy which is good.

Liveinhope - sorry to read af has come earlier than expected. Hopefully it is something easily sorted. I've been searching online myself about progesterone and it seems it differs on levels on each cycle with most people. Fx it was just a blip if that is the cause and all will be on track from now on

thanks hunny, i really hope so too! I had my gallbladder removed in nov and its been since then that my cycles have become unpredictable and ive read that there is a relationship between hormone balances and the gallbladder, including thyroid function so ive had all that tested too! I really really hoe its nothing too serious, i had a hell of a year with my gallbladder and then my miscarriage then i spent nost of the year waiting for my op so i could start ttc again and now ive got squiffy cycles x

Ooh good luck with the cake! Wow you do seem busy! Good luck with it all!x

I had my gallbladder out when monkey was 8 weeks old, bloody painful and still getting phantom gallbladder syndrome now. I also have a borderline under active thyroid but that runs in the family. Have heard about the thyroid link but after having monkey didn't think it affected me. I get it tested every year though and will be going on thyroxine this time if not got any better.
Thanks, I'm a hobby baker and do them for friends and work but really nervous with this being a proper order so to speak. Not making any money, she's giving me the ingredients. Got to stay on the right side of the taxman.

hmmm, interesting!! Thyroid probs run in my family on both sides, so ive always made a point of getting it checked regularly. Then when i started getting gallbladder probs, the doctor originally said i was too young and didnt fit the typical criteria...how wrong was he! Then my mum decides to tell me that she and both her sisters all had their gallbladders removed in their 20s too and its her sisters that have the thyroid probs! So it seems highly possible that im destined for the same i dont know what the symptoms are of thyroid probs? Guess im doing the right thing in having my bloods done I could just eat a scrummy cake right now...being cd1, I could scoff a whole one to myself and feel no shame and without a gallbladder to give me jip afterwards, its a winwin! xx

Hmm when I had mine out the specialist said that it's very common in younger people when they have been pregnant so that's not true, also my bestie has just been diagnosed with gallstones after having two attacks this last week. Don't think it has anything to do with thyroid though, that's a seperate issue as no-one else in my family has had their gallbladder out. Talking about cake I'm currently tucking into a lovely kirsch and chocolate cherry gateau/torte jobby

Vitex or Angus castus is very good at getting your cycles back on track, if you google it you should hopefully get some good advice, I was told by a midwife about it as it helped her and 3 of her older friends to conceive by getting a normal cycle back. I have been taking it since November and got pregnant Jan and feb, unfortunately both CP's but still managed to get pregnant x

 

[Angelbaby_01]

I can't join you ladies in the convo because I don't have much experience, but love to learn. How bad that some of you had your galbladder removed. But looking at the cake talk it doesn't seem to bad either.

Afm - I have my first ever sticky cm since ttc the 2nd bubba. Haven't even had that before with my last pregnancy. My cp was low mostly and very dry, so wonder how I managed to get pregnant in the first place. I am cd12 with NO spotting, loads of creamy/ewcm/sticky cm so I am entering a NORMAL fertile period woohooo!! I am tempted to buy opks to make sure, but they are so expensive to just buy if not using them iykwim I must say that I believe it's the b-complex because I felt my body changed a few days after I started taking it.

Thanks for the advice, but I'm one of those who doesn't like taking tablets etc. so I tend to stay away from anything like that until I have it proven that I need it. I don't even take painkillers unless I really need them. This is the only irregular cycle I've had since having monkey and the miscarriage so will see what happens. I've been under a lot of stress and upset lately so thinking that could be the main reason why. It's good it's worked for your friends though

That's fab, fx it's all working as it should be. Do you not get opk's off eBay or amazon? I get about 50 (half opk half hpt) for £3 on there so satisfies all poas addictions lol.
Are you using preseed to help? I don't always get ewcm and used it when I conceived monkey. Although this cycle is first time I had ewcm properly. What is b complex, vitamin b6? Have heard that can help with fertility and can reduce risk of miscarriage. It's in my multivitamin anyways so hopefully I'm covered.

 

[Angelbaby_01]

It's added on top of my pre-natals. I believe it help me keep DD because I took it then as well. It's all the type of B-vitamins in one and mine have folic acid and vitamin E in as well.

I can buy the opks, but where I am the delivery fee and tax would be added and will make it more than you pay. It comes from the US and I am in South Africa. I know one lady on here who buys hers from ebay.

 

[Soanxious]
