Anyone waiting to get their cycles back (regardless of the reason) to TTC?!

[kksy9b]

Andi- I'm the same way in secretly hoping it would just randomly happen one month....until I remember that I love planning too much lol

Ruby- I hope your LP is able to lengthen and your hormones balance soon. I'm 6 cycles post wean and still having issues

Scarlett- hope you get an answer one way or another soon!

I'm doing well...getting impatient! Started temping yesterday and hoping my body actually Os this month...should be another week. Realized I accidently planned a big get together at our house on my likely O day on our first trying cycle

 

[Scarlett P]

Eeek you'll have to get BD in before and after...or maybe sneaky BD on the night! We didn't BD the night I O'd for Orla as it was a family get together for my nans birthday but we did either side and that obviously did the trick! x

 

[RubysMommy]

thanks kksy! Hopefully your cycles start to balance out soon, too. Are you taking any vitamins? I don't think taking my prenatal has done much for me this month, unfortunately. I thought I was going to O around Valentine's Day since I kept having watery cm, but I finally got a +opk today and ewcm... On cycle day 26 again. Maybe my lp will be longer even though I o'd the same as last month? We will see. Sadly dh is off to work for the next 4 days and we only bd on Sunday night. Doubtful I'll be preggo this month even if lp magically lengthens.

How are you doing Scarlett?

 

[Scarlett P]

Hi Rubysmommy, sorry to hear about such a wait for O but maybe promising that it sounds like your body has been trying for a while before it happened? I think vits can take a couple of months to work (but don't quote me on that!) fingers crossed for a longer LP for you.

I've had a temp drop this morning (although I went to bed with wet hair and it was still a bit damp this morning - could that make a difference) after several days of flat temps so wondering if AF is finally around the corner?!

 

[kksy9b]

Rubys- hopefully your LP will lengthen a bit for you! Doesn't really matter what CD O happens on as you could just have long cycles- FX you see some improvement!! I take b6 and vitex (started taking in November). I have seen a good improvement from taking them but it took 3 cycles before they started working.

Scarlett- you are so far above cover line and 3 days late...how do you have the patience not to test?!?!

 

[ljo1984]

I've no idea what's going on!!! On day 32, i had a positive ov test other day then again yesterday, I normally get ov pains, nothing! So don't know if my body is trying to or if it will just give up and I'll eventually have AF! I hate not knowing what's going on

 

[kksy9b]

Sorry ljo for the confusion - I started temping this cycle because I was having the same thing happen. I would rather know at O time than be surprised 2 weeks later to know if I released an egg or not.

 

[Scarlett P]

Haha kkys9b the cross hairs were only there cos I did an over ride. Really wish I'd made the effort to take my temps at the same time each day before O I've used one of those websites that tweaks bbt depending on time and put my new temps in but still no CH. think it really needs the temps I'm not counting but they're stupidly high as it was after my op.

Ljo I feel your pain! It's so frustrating being in limbo

How's temping going kksy9b?

 

[ljo1984]

I've never been one for temping! Especially after having a toddler who wakes me for milk st least twice a night as it is lol.

 

[Scarlett P]

Eeek no I wouldn't fancy that either it's enough of a pain as it is!

 

[kksy9b]

Regardless, your chart still looks great. My vote would be to grab a test and if your temp stays up tomorrow than see what that sucker says!

Temping is going well so far. I should be gearing up to O in a couple days (today is CD 10 I think) so really really hoping to confirm. Ready to get the next month done with so that I can be back at this point but trying lol

 

[Scarlett P]

Hmm I've now tweaked my chart and discarded some of the crazy AF ones and it doesn't look too good at all :S if I fib about the high temps I've discarded after my op I have solid CH on CD 17. But if I leave them out it gives me dotted ones on CD 23!!!

FX for O for you really soon and a lovely LP all ready for next cycle!! Not long to go now

 

[Scarlett P]

If I swap from advanced to fam I get dotty CH cd 17...

What do you all use, fam or advanced?!

 

[kksy9b]

I have no idea what the difference is lol

 

[RubysMommy]

I just started using fertility friend this month, so I have no idea what I'm using or the difference either lol. I don't know how you have held out from testing this long! I take a test almost every month lol, just in case

Fx your o is soon and you have a perfectly long lp kksy! Next month will be here before you know it

Hopefully my lp is longer this month, last month it was only 5 days if I remember correctly..... I bought a super bcomplex today to start taking just in case it's short again. Does anyone know if I can take the prenatal with a super bcomplex? Or should I pick one or the other?

 

[Scarlett P]

Hi Rubysmommy - I'd look at the dosage in the prenatal, both the NRV and amount and then look up how close it is to maximum amount. I've started to take extra magnesium and zinc along with my prenatal - my prenatal does have both in them but I realised it wasn't a very high amount.

I hold out because I've seen too many bfn when ttc last time and it just crushes me! But then I'm like "well it wasn't fmu" or "it might still be too early" and I would drive myself crazy. With my daughter, I didn't end up testing until 16 dpo and I only got a faint positive, which also drove me crazy!!

From what I understand, FAM is just based on temps and advanced takes in temps and CM and OPKs etc if you're also charting that. From what I've read some ladies prefer advanced and others swear by fam. I guess if you're not convinced by O date it's worth changing the setting to see if it makes a difference...?!

 

[Scarlett P]

Caved last night, faint bfp at 17dpo so went out for a CB digi to back it up! Still feeling quite shocked about it all!!

How's everyone else?

 

[kksy9b]

Yay!!!!! Pictures?!?!? So so excited for you!!

 

[RubysMommy]

That's awesome Scarlett! I want to see a pic too!

I don't know where I'm at lol. I thought I o'd a few days ago, but I'm not really positive. My opk may not have been completely positive. Who really knows! Lol. I'm just waiting for af to come so I will be back at day 1 or a bfp so I know one way or another.

 

[Scarlett P]

Thank you! How do I upload a pic it's been so long I've forgotten? I didn't get one of digi and the other test is a bit blurred but I've got one more digi left so thought I'd do it tues or wed to see if it had changed to 2-3 wks and also I'm having a mole removed from my foot tomorrow which I'm worried about now I've got my bfp!

Good luck Rubysmommy, when will you wait to test?

How are you getting on kksy9b?
