Cycle Buddy Central!

Yayyyyyy horseypants I am so happy you are back I missed you! :hugs: I am so sorry you had to go through another miscarraige. Please feel free to vent to us anytime you are feeling down or frustrated.

sweetpea-sorry about the BFN but as the others said you still are not out-I hope the witch stays away. I will be away this weekend but I will try to get on my phone and check in for updates :)

rmsh-I hope everything goes well with your appt next week!
 
Welcome back horsey! :hugs: Sorry you are dealing with another misscarriage :( Please keep chattng with us! :hugs::hugs::hugs:

Ugh sweetpea, I hate :bfn:s :wacko: Like others said though you still have a chance! My LP typically fluxuates between 13 and 14 days so hoping the sane is true for you! :) Gonna keep stalking your chart!

Ohh Rachel are you going anywhere exciting??

Rmsh, any news? Are you still waiting to ovulate?
 
Yes I checked my last 5 cycles and my luteal phase is approximately 13-14 days and this cycle it is 16 and counting
 
Yes I am STILL waiting to ovulate, CD16 today and not even a tiny bit of fertile cm, so looking like another 40+ day cycle! Yay for me! I have read in several places that ovulating after CD24 is really not a good thing, and my egg is most likely not very good quality, but we still try!

As for my cyst, it really is not very serious. The first time I felt this pain, I was still in NZ so called up my specialist and arranged an ultrasound. But by the time the ultrasound came around, I had felt it burst. It was the largest of my cysts, and the ultrasound confirmed it had gone :) So looks like another got too big and is about to burst. But I am going to play it up to my doctor this Friday, jsut gives me a good opening about TTC and fertility hormones. I am pretty sure my thyroid hormones are still OK as I looked up the symptoms for high or low thyroid hormones, and I really have none, other than these stupid long cycles! Which although long, look like they are regular :( So not sure I can say I am irregular as such. Wow that was a novel!

Have fun at the beach Rachel! Cant wait til we return to NZ and can enjoy beaches again! But we have a BBQ to go to, and I am going to enjoy a nice cold beer or two!
 
Sorry about the bfn sweetpea but you're still not out!

Welcome back horseypants- missed you.
 
I am still waiting for her to show up! Grrr... I have been cramping since yesterday and feel like she's coming but she won't show her ugly face :( bfn bfn bfn all over the place (sorry for the rant) but I just want to start my next cycle. I am 17 dpo (CD 31) and this is just soooo weird for me.

:hugs: that sucks that AF is mucking you around. I hope either she shows soon or a BFP appears

AFM, I might have to go see a doctor sooner than anticipated. My thyroid is really starting to get to me :( Very hard to swallow and lots of pain. I did some reading, and the pain could mean it has already burst and there is swelling around what used to a be a cyst. Problem is the doctor can only refer me, I very much doubt I will get an emergency ultrasound. I hope the pain goes away otherwise I will have to try to get an earlier appointment. I will keep Fridays one too, as I may not be able to discuss both thyroid and TTC in one appointment if it takes too long (they can be really anal about that sometimes, saying you have to book two appointments if you have two issues)
 
:hugs: rmsh and sweetpea!

That is strange how long your LP is. I hope you get things figured out soon.

Af started for me last night and my temp finally went back to normal so I guess I really did o on cd7 :wacko: that is so strange because I had only taken 2 clomids at that point. At least I know I o'ed. But af is much worse on clomid. The cramps are brutal :(
 
Af came last night. I am just happy to finally just be on to the next cycle :wacko:

How is everyone?
 
And my update is - (sorry you have read this elswhere Rachel)

I managed to get a doctor appointment yesterday due to my thyroid playing up. I saw a lovely doctor! I wasn’t going to mention TTC unless I felt it was appropriate, as really the thyroid issue was the most pressing issue right now. He has referred me to a specialist and I have to wait for a letter and I will get a thyroid ultrasound to check my cysts.

I then told him I was wondering if my thyroid hormones were imbalanced as my cycles had become very long. He asked me about them so I ended up telling him the whole TTC story. I said I stopped bc May last year and had 6 super regular cycles, all 33 days long. Then I had a 34 day cycle and since then, they have been 44 and 43 days long, with this current cycle heading into the 40s too. His first reaction was “oh, you aren’t ovulating”. So, I pulled out my charts! And guess what, he was so happy to see them! I said I was also using OPKs and had detected LH surges. So now he is sure I am ovulating, but that for some reason it is really delayed. He said normally he gets day 21 bloods but that that obviously wont work for me. So I have all the paperwork now to get my bloods taken 7 days after I ovulate, going purely by my charting, and he gave me a form to get day 3 bloods taken too. So it was a very productive visit and I am very happy to get the ball rolling with both my thyroid and fertility tests. Now just to wait til I ovulate!
 
Yay rmsh1! I am happy that you found a good doc and that things are moving along now :)
