anyone want a ttc#1 buddy?

[dan-o]

Not sure kittycat, they must have the results as soon as they test it, but maybe it takes a while to type them up? Fingers crossed for you! Ours is monday

Daretodream, are you sure you ov'd when you thought you did? xx

 

[KittyCat82]

Thanks dan-o, good luck to you for monday-I'll let you know when we find out-its driving me mad thinking they are sitting on someones desk! I know even if they come back fine it doesnt mean that I will def be preggers soon and there could be other issues, but my Dr seemed pretty happy with my side of things so I think this has been worrying me...I really think I will be much more relaxed if they come back ok-fingers crossed!!! Or at least we will know what the problem is x

 

[DaretoDream]

Hi daretodream-welcome! Good luck to you-you must have pretty long cycles then?

Actually no i usually am 32 days. Occasionally i've had 34. But never 40 something. Still nothing. I have on my calendar in the other room how far i am.


But- i have no af. It's a week and 2 days late. i had normal af symptoms last week- lower back pain, slightly sore bbs, cramps. I usually get one or two pimples. I had one. He disappeared a day later... cramps went on but lighter than normal. Then, like 2 days ago- everything stopped. No cramps. Back pain gone- still slightly sore nips then nothing else- except frequent urination.

Today- i woke up with 4 pimples!!! Never had that before. Lower back pain back, not really sore bbs- and still, no af. Wonder if she's coming tomorrow? If not- i might do a cheapy dollar store test tomorrow.

Might as well while i'm WAITING my life away here.

Daretodream, I don't want to get your hopes up but that seems to sound v promising-could it have been implantation cramps you had? I know a lot of ladies say lack of symptoms can be a big sign ie no sore boobs. If I were you I would test again and try and get an app with your dr if af doesn't show up over weekend. For some ladies a home preg test doesn't show up bfp for quite a while...it's so hard not knowing!! Fortunately my periods tend to show up right on time every month, even tho I rather they didn't at least! Dan-o, got home last night for hubby to tell me he had his results and 'passed' as he said! Sperm count 120million and good motility and morphology. I had a quick google and 120million seems good? Such a relief to be honest x

 

[dan-o]

Wow, thats fab news kitty!!!

 

[ticktock]

excellent news Kittycat!

I've made it to 12dpo with NO spotting

Have taken b vit this month but didn't think would work this quick, am officially due on today and no sign of the witch yet so maybe its helping my LP abit more. I also have no sore boobs what so ever and normally they're killing me about now. Am gonna do a test tomorrow if AF doesn't show tonight but not getting my hopes up as got a feeling is just gonna be a weird cycle as ov'd so late.

Hows everyone doing? If you're in England its TOO hot isn't it?!

 

[DaretoDream]

Kitty- I do hope it's positive. I've got cramps again today- but again, no sign of AF. Took a dollar store cheapy today- and got a neg. I really want to test again though. If the af doesn't show up this weekend- i will def take a test again on monday or tuesday- because this cycle is just ridiculous. I hope that i'm one of those girls that it just isn't showing up yet.

I don't want to get my hopes too high either- but i really want it to be real. Glad your dh counts are good!!!

And if nothing by wed- i have to call the ob again and schedule the blood test.

 

[dan-o]

Ticktock, I am having the same problem, boobs not even slightly tender, but I'm almost certain I did ovulate.
I've never had this before, it's really odd.

I did my CD21 test yesterday, so I'm really interested to see what the results will show!

xx

 

[dan-o]

Daretodream, have you recently come off BCP or anything?

I had a mega long cycle when I came off the implant, have a look at my August 2008 cycle on my FF page!

Have you got a chart we can take a peek at? xx

Lol i JUST started the charting thing- it doesn't even look like a chart yet. Because i started at the end of the cycle. When af comes if she ever gets her butt here and a real chart starts sure you can peek.

I haven't been on ANYTHING for a long time. 2 years ago this month i came off birth control and had pretty normal cycles after that. always around 32.

Still nothing today. no af- day 42. And now, i have NO idea when i freaking o'd because i figure i should've had the by now. Maybe i was super late this month.

I had a weird scare in march- 2 weeks late. We thought we were preg. We hadn't been talking about babies. Now, only a few months later we decided we should try. Probably because i was so sad when i found out--- it was a bfn. Didn't realize i wanted one yet.

 

[dan-o]

Gosh isn't it always the same, we spend years preventing a pregnancy, then when we do want a baby, it takes ages!

Hope you get some answers (or a BFP!) soon xx

 

[ticktock]

well made it to 14dpo with no spotting, came on today and TMI straight away red flow no messing about so am v pleased. Plus boobs feel periody, kinda full and heavy but not sore so hope its a sign my hormones are abit more regulated this month

Still a shame didn't get bfp lol

Hope your af turns up soon daretodream, I know you'll wanna be getting on to that next cycle! But would rather you get your BFP!!

When do ya get your test results Dan-o?

 

[DaretoDream]

thanks ticktock- i feel the same. Either one would be great right now because i'd know where i stand.

Also buying more tests tee hee i'm turning into a poas addict. I'm getting the super sensitive ones that the bnb users suggested.

 

[ticktock]

haha I've got loads of cheapy tests from amazon I think, amazingly I have quite a few left lol but am quite good only use 2-3 per cycle

What ones you getting?

 

[DaretoDream]

ones from early pregnancy site that the girls here suggested. They have 20 iu/ml compared to what normal ones are from the store like 50 iu/ml

I had no idea what any of that meant. the bnb girls sent me here: https://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/compare.html

 

[dan-o]

When do ya get your test results Dan-o?

I should get my CD21 progesterone results tomorrow or tues, now sure about OH's SA results, maybe the end of the week? I'll ask when drop off the sample

I can't wait, in a way, we may finally get some answers!

 

[KittyCat82]

Hi girls,

Ticktock, I just noticed your post about spotting and sore boobs. I mentioned to my Dr a while ago that not every month, but some times I get a bit of spotting a few days after period stopped-she said I shouldnt be too concerned about it as I had just has smear and everything was fine. This month I have noticed it again so I have made an app next week-is this something you have had then? Do you know what causes it? I know it can be a few things but I noticed you said about getting sore boobs each month-mine usually get sore from 1dpo through to af, which can be a real pain as thats 2 weeks-is this something I should be worried about? I just used to take it as a sign of ovulating which is a good thing...I will mention it to Dr next week too but just thought I'd ask as your post mentioned it...

Daretodream..how are you getting on? Keep us posted with the testing..

Dan-o, as you know ours took about a week to come back..good luck with it fingers crossed for you!

X

 

[dan-o]

Kitty, I would take sore boobs as a sign of ovulation!

I usually get sore boobs from anywhere between 1 and 7dpo, until AF comes.
I haven't this month, so I don't think I've ov'd properly. I had my progesterone test on friday, so should find out for sure tomorrow if sore boobs mean anything or not! x

 

[ticktock]

hiya Kittycat, yeh I started getting sore boobs around 7dpo until af arrived but now cos of maca and vit b haven't had any sore boobs, they still feel bit fuller but not that horrible achey painfulness.

I used to spot up to 3 days before af came properly, only browny stuff but with cramps and everything so almost like a small period before my actual period and this month I just came on all on one day normally yey!

I usually kinda taper off into a couple of browny days after the red flow has stopped but am only on day 3 so will have to see how it goes this cycle.

I'd mention to doc and see what he says, its prob just nothing but vit b is meant to help with progesterone levels and seeing as that along with the maca which is to regulate hormones helped, maybe that was my problem?

I actually had loads of problems on the pill which a couple of docs said was because of my own fluctuating hormone levels made it difficult to get in sync with pills and they often 'overrode' the pill so I'm thinking my hormones are just a little bit wonky, not enough obviously to stop my periods or make them irregular but maybe just enough to throw them off abit.

How were you on the pill?

 

[KittyCat82]

Hi girls thanks for the response-I'm really liking this thread, really friendly! Does sore boobs give good indication you have def ovulated then? I should prob know the amount of googling I have done in past on all these things! Trying not to over obsess about things at mo...I guess now I know hubby is ok i'm wondering why things aren't happening. I do feel a lot more positive tho! I thought cos the cbfm showed I peak that meant i was def ov'ing but I read on a thread that's not always the case...it's soooo confusing!!prob why it's better not to think about it too much..easier said than done!!
