Cycle 1 day 1. Who's with me? *update* It's a girl! Congrats baby_bray!!!

[moter98]

Dont give up till the shows her face. I have heard of many girls not get their BFP until a few days after AF was due. It is still early and you could have implanted late and not had enough time for hcg to build up yet. My Fx are crossed for you!!

I am still on edge this cycle. I have had some very promising signs but I try not to play into them cause you can sike your self out to thinking your are pg and not really be. I have my self as 10 dpo but countdowntopregnancy only has me as 9 dpo. I have tested a few times which was very stupid of me cause 1) it is still way to early and 2) I have had a chemical before and that is very heart breaking.

The is not due here until a week from tomorrow. I hate having such a long lp but not much I can do about it.

I wish I had a long LP! I understand your frustration, though. I feel like my body doesnt' even give me a chance to get pregnant before the shows!

How long is your LP?

Usually 10/11 days, with spotting starting around 9dpo

A friend of mine had the same lp length as you. She stopped working out and her lp went to 14 days. do you work out? Also, I've read that the egg needs 10 days to implant so you should still be ok there.

Here are a couple over the counter things you can get to lengthen your lp.


There are at least two different over-the-counter remedies for a short luteal phase. The first of these is vitamin B6. This vitamin is considered safe for most women, and is taken in doses from 50 to 200 mg a day. The second over-the-counter remedy for a short luteal phase is progesterone creme. This cream is thought to lengthen the luteal phase.

Ok, so I'm a research type person and I found another thing that could help you lengthen your lp. You could try Fertilaid, which you can buy over the counter. It is recommended by Dr's for short lp's. It contains Vitex, which is designed to help support cycle balance and regularity. I've been thinking about taking it myself if I don't get a BFP soon. It gets pretty good reviews. (Women take it for other reasons than lp too)

How much Folic Acid should I be getting? My prenatal vitamin has 800mcg. Is this enough?

Thanks for the suggestions. I already take progesterone supplements, which were prescribed by my Dr. No I don't exercise regularly, once I see how this cycle goes I might try some of the other supplements, but I am holding out hope that the soy helps this cycle.

That's plenty. 600-800 is the recommended during pregnancy. Remember, you are also getting some in the foods you eat too. You can't take too much, so no worries there. Your body will flush out what it doesn't use.

Hope it works for you! From what I've read about short LP's, most sites say a lp of less than 10 days is considered short. Maybe you just have a mildly short lp. Also, in most cases, it is easily correctable. In any case, you have already had one baby, so you know you are fertile

 

[mailcmm]

Thanks. I was reading that not enough folic acid can result in MC. I just want to make sure I am doing everything I can. I can't believe I can start testing on Friday. Gonna try tohold out for the witch and test when she should be leaving. Doubt that will happen but I can try. lol I keep telling myself that since I had a D&C my cycle may still be off. That will explain a late AF if she does show.

 

[mailcmm]

Ok... Is EWCM a good or bad sign? I took an OPK and it was -. Any ideas?

Very good sign! In some women, CM increases this early if pregnant. Pregnant women have an increase in CM all throughout their pregnancy. Sometimes it can happen early, sometimes it doesn't happen until a bit later in pregnancy. You have to know what's normal for your body. Example: if your CM usually dries up after O, and then you get lots of CM after O, that can be an indication of pregnancy.

 

[mailcmm]

Awesome. I am not 100% sure but I'll hope it's a good sign.

Well, good morning everyone! :wave:

I am currently 13DPO with not a signal sigh of AF. I'm feeling pretty good all things considered. Backache has gone down a bit as well as the cramps. Unfortunately though (TMI ALERT!) I'm horribly constipated.

I had a weird night too, went to bed and had a major hot flash (I think, not sure I've ever had one before) and feel like I was going to vomit. Honestly, it felt like it does when you drink to much alcohol... it was a gross feeling. I flipped out too, I was angry at the bed, angry at the sheets, angry at the pillow... angry at DH... it wasn't a great night.

This is so promising. When are you testing next? I am dying of anticipation.

As for me.... I am still exhausted, last night I cried watching a commercial (for a video game) and during the Walking Dead (but that was really sad), I can't seem to concentrate, I am still gassy and have lots of EWCM (TMI Sorry), and I have little cramps here and there all on the right side?.

If I get hit by the witch this month I am going to start charting. Will probably need lots of help lol but think it may give me a better idea of what's going on.

How are you doing Moter? You don't have a ticker so it's hard to keep track. lol Symptoms?

I'm doing good here. Happy to be in the TWW. Is going by faster than before the TWW. No symptoms here. But I also didn't have any symptoms with DS or my chemical, so my hopes are still high! I don't know how to do that ticker. Can you explain how I put it up?

I'll try lol. First click on my ticker. Then create an account and click on the tools and tickers tab. Choose calculators and resources. Scroll down to countdown tickers and create your ticker. Then you need to highlight and copy the BBCode. That is the format this site uses. Then select quick links on B&B and click edit signature. Then just paste the code in the text window. If you want it centered first choose center and paste the code in the center of the center format text. Good luck. lol

You have countdown ticker!!!

I want to test so bad, but I am scared to death of another chemical.

 

[colta]

Well... another day another BFN.

I tested this afternoon shortly after work and a very obvious BFN. I'm really starting to think everything that I'm feeling, everything that my body is or isn't doing is just a cruel, twisted joke my mind is playing on me.

I just want to cry and cry and cry.... there is nothing I want more right now then to get a BFP and I"m no where near that point... it's really getting me down.

At any rate, sorry to be such a sad sack... I'm going to stop testing for a while. If AF isn't here by the end of the week, I'll test again... otherwise, I just can't bear to see another BFN before then.

 

[mailcmm]

Berdc... What did you think of the Walking Dead? I was so sad when Sophia came out of the barn. That was horrible. Love what they are doing in the show. Sad because last night the two things I wanted most was for Shane to go and Sophia to come back. Lol In the comic she is alive and he died ages ago. Still like the show though.

Colta..... I am so sorry you are bummed girl. Still crossing everything. Hopefully you will get your BFP this cycle. Maybe you need to test in the AM with FMU? My FMU is poop and I always test with SMU (lol I am trademarking that)
Anyway, hang in there. We are here with you.

How long had it been since you had gone wee? I have read that you need to hold it at least 4 hours for the hcg to build back up in your urine.
