Aphrodite...Conceiving Tigers in 2010 - 17 Graduates so far!

[Jaxvipe]

Just wanted to say hello again, I haven't posted since you moved the thread!

Jaxvipe, I was on depo a couple of years ago...horrible stuff isn't it? They really should inform people more about the shot or I never would have gotten it. I think its great that you are being so proactive in getting your cycle back on track!

Yea i have a team on here of girls that are coming of Depo and its so horrible! I can't believe they even allow it to be given. I understand that side effects of no periods and stuff like that are great for women, but what it is doing to your body is terrible. I think if more women knew the REAL risks of taking depo they would never have gotten the shot in the first place. I kick myself everyday for letting them inject me with that.

Well no real update from me... just on CD 10 waiting to O. Have had some slight twinges in my left ovary so FX'D I'll be Ov'ing this weekend! i did some chart stalking yesterday of women in my age group and it seems that their temps are a little bit lower and looked alot like mine. So that made me feel a lot better about how low my temps were in the beginning of my cycle. But that also could've been the soy making my temps lower.

It was so funny last night OH wants to BD right when i got home from work and i just kinda wanted to relax and sit on the couch for a little bit. And he goes "Don't you want you belly to get bigger?" i just laughed for like 5 minutes.

What are you ladies up to this weekend?

This is only the 2nd month I've charted but my temps are noticeably different during the follicular phase than last month.
Last month they were approx 97-97.2F and they're above 97.5F so far this month. Maybe I still have some progesterone floating around since AF isn't quite over yet. Hmm...

Is this normal? Do you have different temps month-to-month or are they usually the same? I'll check some other charts, too

Look at what my chart is doing and you will have a good laugh!

Ack! That would make me insane. At least they're lower than most of your LP temps. So I take that as a good sign...

PS did another test this morning with a first response and not even a faint line...Just got to wait for AF now i think...Got docs on Monday so will see what they think of it...Thanks for your support ladies.x

iwanta8a8y...is your cm still creamy? I would seriously recommend temping because it is far easier to know for sure if you've ov'd or not. You could start now even before AF and it might already start giving you clues. Is the test so obv negative that you won't even post a pic? My BF sent me her "negative" test....and she has taken many tests...and I could see a line.

Hey everyone, I am just going to throw this out there....I am not convinced FRER is the best early preg test. I know a lot of my friends did not test positive with FRER early but did with other brands, even cheaper ones. I know many women on this forum seem to use it as a gold standard, but honestly I'm not convinced. I think they are very good for not predicting false +'vs or evaps but i dont if they are the earliest to pick up...just a thought I wanted to share.
what are your thoughts girls?
cheers,

I'm not to worried.. It will regulate soon I think there was some progesterone floating around from just before AF & all.

I'm off to Vancouver this weekend for a small holiday .. hope to get alot of BD'ing in btwn sightseeing.. lol

 

[2016]

Britt11...interesting thoughts about hpts...I just suggest FRER for early testing because I am paranoid about the evil evaps and false negs. I am always eager to find out about tests good for early detection - which one would you recommend? You can bet I will go get one asap! Piaster addict I am!

Devi....enjoy your relaxing break. Perfect time for 'dancing'

 

[Britt11]

2016, your probably right about waiting for a FRER, at least with that one a +ve is a +ve, i totally agree....I am so impatient too. My sister got a negative on a FRER and a +ve on a Clearblue easy early on...I know those show evaps but its a toss up hey? I'm not sure really, I just wanted to throw out that thought and see what you guys thought.
Cheers,

With all of my pregnancies I got a clear positive on an asda own preg test before I got one on a FRER! But I agree, FRER don't have the evaps so you can be sure a positive is a positive! ; )

I'm currently on CD 8 and due to ov on CD12 so hope timings are right this month! Started BD'ing last night but I have just got thrush quite bad as from yesterday and I haven't had it in years!!! : ( feel like my foo foo is on fire!!! Lol (tmi)

Hope it won't interfer with TTC this month but is a damned pain in the butt and bit of a passion killer!!

How's everyone else doing? Hope you are all well and have lovely weekends!

Yeah the test is very obviously negative nietger me or OH could see even a faint line. Think it is only time now as I had a little brown, I guess old blood, on my paper this morning so think the old which will be here later today.

Am disapointed but at least we can start again now, just hope my cycles haven't got even longer and this is the norm now...

We braved the snow today and went to boots to pick up a thermometer today so I am now ready for her. Will start temping tomorrow morning xx

here's to TEAM APHRODITE - were going to make our babies in 2010 girls xx

 

[Britt11]

oh hon, i am so sorry to hear that, wow what a long cycle hey? You have a great attitude for 2010 and hope the next one is a BFP!
another interesting point on the preg tests Tinkerbell, thanks for sharing

iwanta8a8y....I LOVE your PMA I would highly recommend Fertility Friend for recording your temp. I personally temp vaginally (TMI?) because I found oral temps too erratic esp with the whole "take temp before you move or talk". DH hated the beeping early in the morning so I have to get out of bed and go to the bathroom. Even with this movement my temps seem pretty sensible. Keep us posted and I will update you on the front page.

Looking at my temp today I think I am following the pattern to ov on CD22 as I did before Only time will tell but I suppose I don't mind because I will be off the week leading up to ov if it comes CD22 which is a bonus

iwanta8a8y, I'm so sorry about the old hag squeezing her way in - I was really hoping for you this month!! Don't worry girls, we'll all get our 2010 babies, I'm sure of it!

So we went to see the fertility specialist - and believe it or not, he didn't think that my DH's sperm motility was that bad (not sure how that works based on everything I've read online, and according to the urologist. The FS thought that a lot of it was down to DH being run down, stressed, not enough sleep. So he's given us some vitamins, and he said to try this month on clomid, and then if nothing, go back next month and he'll start me on some injections (not sure what... although reading your comments on Depo is a bit concerning!? Then if that doesn't work, try IUI... and in the meantime, DH to take another analysis after some xmas cheer.

Oh, and the fertility specialist said he thinks I have mild PCOS, as I have quite a lot of follicles which aren't maturing (hence the no-ovulation).

Despite all this, he seemed optimistic(!) mostly because I'm still 29 (and DH is 30). But he seemed really good, very caring and explains so much more than my last gyno! So Fx'd!

Gosh, it's such a rollarcoaster the things we are going through. You guys are all so awesome though.

2016, Fx'd that your O comes on time! I hope the soy worked

Good luck with your testing Britt11 - what a fantastic xmas gift that would be!

roflmao thanks hun, I needed that! I need all the luck I can get, I REFUSE to hit cycle 30! I had to take ibuprofen cause the cramps were so intense, worse than AF!

 

[2016]

Joli....see my motto, looks like you have just found another key person on your journey to your bfp! Sounds like that gyno is really on the ball. When he says injections I am thinking he might mean and hcg shot which triggers the release of the egg when the follicle is the right size and helps your lining thicken (I think but am no expert). Nothing like Depo birth control.
So what vitamins did OH get? Want to make sure there isn't anything else I can feed my man

 

[LittleAurora]

hi I was wondering if I could join in!! I am in the 2ww! testin on Xmas day!! ahhh!! lol

 

[LittleAurora]

sorry to come right in with bad news but anti inflammatory such as ibuprofen are a big no no while ttc
