April Showers Brings Christmas Babies 92 Testers (19 BFPs)(1 Angel )

Thanks ladies - I really can't be sure either way. Still spotting - counted myself out 4 days ago when spotting started and was sure that AF was coming. So if she does, so be it. But its NOT getting heavier...its insane! But then again my last period was 5 days late. :shrug:
 
Thank you so much for reassuring me. I have been getting these AF symptoms for months now and I have been so confused as my AF hasn't been turning up for another 2 weeks after but now I understand I am getting these symptoms when I ovulate!! I was confused because I am ovulating late around cd26 so in my head when I got those AF cramps I thoyght I was at the end if my cycle but those positive opks have confirmed it's ovulation!

I never used to get this before I had my son. At least I really know when I'm ovulating!! Bodies are crazy!!

xxemmyxx, you may want to look into something like Vitex to help regulate your cycle. It's usually helpful for women who ovulate late, sometimes bringing ovulation up as much as 7-12 days. It also helps lengthen your luteal phase to give the egg more time to implant. I've been using it for 2 months and I'm really happy with it so far :)

Good luck to everyone still yet to test! I'm 8 DPO and trying my best not to obsess about every tiny little symptom. *cough* yeahright! *cough*

Xxemmyxx, I would recommend taking vitamin b complex and vitamin d before trying Vitex is great if it works but if it doesn't it than cause more damage than good. My specialist hates vitex because if it doesn't work it can set you back six months if it doesn't work. If you are just ovulating late but have a normal literal phase that isn't as much of a problem at having a luteal phase defect. I now ovulate normally around cd30 and have a 14 day luteal since my miscarriage that is my normal but even though I ovulate late I still have a normal literal phase. Before though my cycles were all over the place but just taking those vitamins regulated them. So vitex is great if it works but it is horrible on your body if it doesn't. Anyway i am not say don't try it or something like it. Because you can and it may work for you and be great. I was just giving you a heads up. My specialist said if he had a guarantee that it would work for every patient when would love it. Scooby,I am so glad it is working for you. I wish it did for me. Because the benefits would have been awesome. Because it sucks to have long cycles. I guess what I am saying is I wish I did more research first before trying so I knew all the pros and cons.

Thanks so much for your advice ladies. I have only just started using opks the last 2 cycles. I had a positive opk on cd26 last cycle and a positive on cd28 this cycle. Last cycle my luteal phase was 10 days which is on the short side. I was going to wait and see what it was this cycle. Where do you get vitex and vitamin b complex and vitamin d? I'm in the UK maybe I could get them from Hollands and barretts? I need to do some research around all of them. I am a bit scared to take stuff that might interfere. Is there a reason why people don't like long cycles (apart from the fact they are long and annoying) I mean does it hinder my chances ovulating late?
Vitamin b complex and vitamin d are not going to interfere. It is what most fertility specialist tell you to take because they do help. I live in the US so I don't know where but I get mine online at swanson vitamins or amazon.
 
Could be implantation bleeding, Silas. A baby or two getting nice and snug.
 
Have any of you ladies experienced sensitive teeth before getting a BFP? Mine are sensitive to begin with but last 2 days they are more then usual and I have a headache all day today!
 
So thinking about it, I *think* I know what happened.

I took my ex to court for child support a few months ago. He responded by seeking joint custody and 50/50 access in an attempt to not have to pay. When court didn't go his way TWICE, he filed an anonymous report, and had two family members of his also file anonymous reports against me accusing me of child abuse.

After his accusations, he filed the abuse allegations with the court as well, and my lawyer sought a letter from CAS about the the investigation. My anxiety level was literally THROUGH THE ROOF that week. I was so stressed out. Thankfully, obviously, the accusations were unfounded and CAS wrong to the court saying so, but I think what happened was that my body tried to ovulate on CD17 (March 27) as it was supposed to, but because of the stress, it couldn't, so it tried again on CD20 after I had relaxed.

I think my super faint positives were true positives but because I had such a short luteal phase, the baby couldn't stick and I had a very early miscarriage instead.

Still, just to be sure, I'm going to do two inseminations this cycle. One on April 21 at CD13, which is my normal ovulation day, and one again on CD17, which is when I've been ovulating for the last three months, with the exception of this cycle.

Next testing date will be April 30th, and if BFN, then it'll be May 6.
 
Freaking out over here :(

AF is due on Friday. Last night I had some crazy bad cramps, didn't feel at all like period cramps tho.

Well today I tested, bfn. Still early tho. Well around noon I ended up with brownish discharge.

Which can be one of two things. AF is making her appearance early, or implantion bleeding.

Normally when AF comes it's super bright red and looks like someone shot me there is so much blood at first.

So idk. Keeping my fingers crossed but I'm not very optimistic :(
 
Prayers for IB Soldier!!!

Thank you!

We've been on and off trying since I started having periods again after my son was born. Or well we were "Not trying but not preventing" I should say because we didn't really track my ovulation or anything.

I would get SUPER depressed when I would get a BFN. This is the first month of actually trying again. If I don't get pregnant we are going to wait another 6-9 months due to a disney trip we have planned and paid for :(

So I've been super nervous. :(
 
Started up my TTC journal again. It's in my siggy if anyone's interested. It starts on Page 9
 
I think I'm cd7 tomorrow. Someone tell me it's a waste of a dollar to poas this early! Sigh.

I've had weird brown discharge off and on this week, no clue what's up with that.
 
Brandi ive put u on the 30th lovely.
Cool babe yes sensitive teeth and gums was a big symptom for me when I got my BFP with Oscar.
Silas im hoping this is implantation for u fx huni.
Love how supportive this thread is of each and every one of us ladies that needs it.
Xx
 
mrsverhey, I'm sorry about your appointment leaving you guys confused. I've always hated first appointments because you usually don't get much out of them due to the docs needing to do all kinds of tests. I hope things become more clear with more appointments and test results! :hugs:



Casey3, it's a waste of time to poas this early. :winkwink: 10dpo is what I hear to be about the best time to start poas. You can do it!! 3 more days and lots of baby dust to you!



AFM- I have been visiting with my sister so I haven't been on here much and it's been a relatively easy ttw! A couple of days ago, I had what I think was a stomach bug and just felt rotten. But yesterday (9dpo), I poas and had a faint positive!!:happydance: I hope it gets darker in a couple of days! Other than the stomach bug weirdness, I haven't had any symptoms. I don't recall having symptoms with my other 2 either. :cloud9:

:dust:Lots of baby dust to all of you!!:dust:
 
CD2 and it is super super heavy. Didn't get much sleep last night cuz I was changing pads so often. It's heavier than normal. Looking forward for ovulation. 15 days to go!
 
So my levels show that I have not ovulated yet. My doctor thinks we are best to do this month naturally and not with IUI as I did not have to many promising looking follies so I guess we will just wait and see.
 
Hey everybody! Wishes to you for baby dust and patience!

I'm a bit consumed. 15dpo... AF is 2 days late. I had a temp dip yesterday and it's back up today. My bbs hurt SO much. It takes me like a week to get a +hpt but I caved and tested SMU this am on a FRER and negative. I'll have to wait more days. Ugh I just want to know!
 
Have any of you ladies experienced sensitive teeth before getting a BFP? Mine are sensitive to begin with but last 2 days they are more then usual and I have a headache all day today!

Yes, I had that with my chemical pregnancy. Good luck!!!
 
Thanks so much for your advice ladies. I have only just started using opks the last 2 cycles. I had a positive opk on cd26 last cycle and a positive on cd28 this cycle. Last cycle my luteal phase was 10 days which is on the short side. I was going to wait and see what it was this cycle. Where do you get vitex and vitamin b complex and vitamin d?

My advice would be to keep tracking your cycles and see where you're at in a month or so. 10 days is definitely on the short side for your luteal phase, and combined with a CD26-28 ovulation it could point to hormonal imbalance. Your doctor can do a blood test to check your hormones.

It's a relatively easy thing to fix though. I did a TON of research on Vitex before I took it, and I'm using a relatively low dose. Look into it and see what you think. If you're not comfortable using it (and it's true that it doesn't work for some women), look into using vitamin B6, D3 and calcium/magnesium. Good luck :)
