[CLOSED]***Lucky LTTTC Testers***

[Fezzle]

Kuawen- sorry to hear about your tube! Can they fix it? I hope your biopsy is useful!

I've tried soy for the first time this cycle, I've just upped my Metformin dosage, and the iron has had more time to get in my system, so I'm hoping all that is what my body needs to pop out a juicy egg this time! Based on my usual timing of symptoms, I might ovulate some time early next week, which would be great because OH and I will be on a relaxing holiday. So hopefully I'll be testing closer to the end of May some time.

 

[Kuawen]

My understanding is that there are procedures out there for opening tubes that are scared shut, but for whatever reason if the patient has had a tubal reversal (like I have) they won't do it. I'm not 100% sure on the reasons why. At least I've still got the left tube so hopefully it's just a matter of time (and ruling out any other possible problems).

OK, Lilly... if you are getting back to TTC in June - I guess you can put me down for testing May 6th to give you some entertainment while you wait. I *think* Pirate and I have decided I'm most likely 8 DPO today and not 15 DPO like FF thinks I am.

 

[LillyTame]

Me >> Confused by Cland's chart! Ok, I'll put you down for Cinco De Mayo Ai ai ai!

Ooops you said 6th...dang...I like the 5th better

Have you took a pregnancy test?

 

[ClandestineTX]

I have taken HPTs daily since... the first 7 DPO (CD 19, because FF said I ovulated on CD 12). The crazy high temps corresponded with some GI issues (like days of severe diarrhea), so I think it was a really low grade fever (in hindsight). I had a very dark negative OPK on CD 20, and cramping that radiated to my back, so I think that was "actual" ovulation - or at least that's the theory I am running with at the moment. My temps are insane, but I do think I am at least 8 DPO today. And BFN this morning. I have always tested crazy early, but don't "count" them until a reasonable date - so May 5th (to make Lilly happy) will be the test date that "counts" - BFNs before that doesn't mean anything!

 

[mamadonna]

Best of luck,I've charted on and off for the last 4 years and I have to say that's one crazy chart!!

[ClandestineTX]

So much for that plan... CD 1 of cycle 18 is here, already. Given my LP, it looks like I ovulated around CD 15 last time... So upside to Femara, it wasn't CD 50 with a 62 day cycle... but my temps and fertile signs were all over the place.

Femara cycle 2 will be underway Sunday (CD 3)... not sure when I would have a test date (May/ June), but I'll let you know when I do!

 

[LillyTame]

Oh poo! Well let me know.

 

[Renaendel]

Shoot, I was hoping it would work for you right away, but I am glad that your cycle is so much shorter and your LP is a fantastic length.

Good luck to the rest of the testers this month. I hope every single one of you gets pregnant!

 

[Fezzle]

Oh boo, Clandie- but a shorter cycle is definitely a step in the right direction!

If AF doesn't come for me before 21 May, I'll take a test then.

I normally show fertile signs up to about CD16 but if I do ovulate on those cycles, I have a really long LP before I start bleeding. This cycle there are a few differences- soy isoflavones, 1000mg of Metformin and then there will be progesterone cream if it seems like I've ovulated- and with the cold now and new vaginal temping- it's a bit of a weird cycle for me, so I'm not sure what's going to happen!

 

[natjenson]

Heya ladies....cd 2 here.....
But I'm cool with it...I knew it was going to happen.
Altho a surprise would have been just crazy cool.

Sorry to those who got caught by the witch....what a grot bag.

Good luck to all that are tackling the witch again...kick her ass outta ya life for at least 3 quarters of a year.

Beltane fields of flowers...you have a whole bunch of us to empty your glorious patch of land...we all want and we all will get your pastures of blooms.

@natjenson: I am CD 2 today, also. I don't know that I've ever had a cycle buddy before! Though... FX my medication works like last time, without meds I have ovulated as late as CD 50. Last cycle was the first one with them and it seems I ovulated about CD 15 (+/- 3 days).

And I just realized if Femara - Cycle 2 looks anything like Femara - Cycle 1... I might have another testing date in May!

@Fezzle, I completely agree. I know you know how f-ing crazy limbo-like cycles are. I just couldn't deal with them anymore and after the last cycle (62 days) I went to my doctor, practically in tears, asking her to give me something to help me feel like I had a snowball's chance in hell of getting pregnant. Femara seems to have a huge success rate for women with PCOS (which I definitely do not have) and for women with oligoovulation (irregular ovulation, which I do have). So... FX. Reportedly it takes 4-6 cycles on meds to give it a "fair trial" - if no BFP by then, the next step is full workup by an FS or RE, which I really do not want to do.

 

[natjenson]

Heya ladies....how is everyone?

Cd 10 here...just waiting to ovulate.

Hope you are all well......

[LillyTame]

Hiya nat!

Where is everyone?

I think I OV'd, I just don't know when...we are waiting for this AF to come and go then I will start TTC again IF this ov was early enough then I have a chance this cycle...but if it was later...then nope....which is fine because we were/are still in NTNP mode.

 

[Renaendel]

Hi Nat, Hi lilly!

I am just trying to hold off my eggies until Wednesday when my husband is back in town. I am either cycle day 5 or 13 depending on what the progestin did to my system.

This will be month 1 ttc with a tumor free uterus. Next month will be month 1 of clomid so I have high hopes of something soon.

 

[Kuawen]

I'm here! :wave: I just received a diagnosis of thrombophilia (that's the easiest way to explain it; I've got 5 different types of it!) so now we know that my body was developing clots whenever my eggies tried to implant. Thankfully the treatment for this is heparin injections as soon as I get a BFP, so DH and I are cleared to try again! I'm KMFX'd for you, mamadonna and nat. But I also cannot WAIT for June

 

[mamadonna]

I'm also looking forward to June,tested and negative here so just waiting for af

 

[Fezzle]

I'm hoping I'm somewhere in the TWW and that I ovulated last week when all the BDing was going on. So another week or so to wait for me.

Kuawen- glad you got a diagnosis that can be fixed!
