i think it is to do with the release of the hormone. it takes so many days to have enough hormone to tell your body to stop your period. also in my case where it was 6 days and implantation takes place between day 6 and 12 averagely around day 8or 9, my period would start before and egg even have the chance to implant.

Oh NO this scares me, What can i do to lenghten my LUteal phase? Ty for the info Motherofboys your a great help!

Flowers for you Motherofboys
Early testing can be fun...can be a rollercoaster....personally...I can handle the bfn's. It's those evil evaps that piiiissssss mmmmeeeeee ooooffff ....they give false hopes and play mind games on us all.

Hugs and more hugs we will get through this together!

When we are faithful with little...God will trust us to be faithful with much.

Also...remember .....every cycle...at BEST...25% chance of conceiving. Don't be hard on yourself...you are doing an awesome job....as momma...as a wifey....as a woman. Chin Up!

 

[wontgiveup]

Step 1...Pee on the stick. (must be sure to hold it under urine stream for a heartbeat longer than recommended just to be sure).

Step 2...Stare at stick while you continue peeing. Feel heart jump when urine passes over the spot where the line would be and it hitches for a second, then gets a dark line...then keeps going, taking your dark line with it to the test window.

Step 3...Place on bathroom counter. Pretend not to stare at it. Let's try to give yourself busy work to keep from looking at it. In fact, your toilet now gets cleaned once per day.

Step 4...Tell yourself you are expecting a BFN. Then start to mist up when you see that it is, in fact, a BFN. Stare at the blank spot for a full minute before picking it up.

Step 5...First, go to window and check it under day light.

Step 5...Now, stand on toilet to be closer to light in ceiling. Check strip.

Step 6...Close one eye. Squint other eye.

Step 7...Turn on several lamps around house. Hold strip under lamp. Check strip.

Step 8...Hold strip OVER lamp. Check strip.

Step 9...Hold strip in front of lamp so light shines THROUGH strip, just in case.

Step 10...Pull stick apart. Hesitate for a heartbeat when you realize you are holding the still wet "wick" in one hand, then continue the destruction.

Step 11...Repeat Steps 5-9.

Step 12...Throw stick away.

Step 13...Pick stick back up out of trash.

Step 14...Repeat Steps 12 and 13 the rest of the day!

 

[motherofboys]

try not to worry hun yours sounds fine and its not impossible to conceive with a shorter lp. i take b6 to lengthen mine but seems the most i will get is 10 days. it is possible with 10 days just lower chance.

 

[motherofboys]

Life is really beautiful....Life is SOOOOOO Good...whether we get our bfp or not this next cycle.....But if you are anything like me(LOL) go ahead and be upset and angry and sad...before ya get back to being positive again. WINK! Let's agree on a type of test for us to both use this next cycle and compare....should we say no to ic's this round? You pick dear....buddy....I wonder if I could ship you some tests....personal Msg me if you want to give this a GO. Also..LOVN....WONTGIVE UP.....MOTHEROFBOYS...Was thinking if we could send eachother new colors of nail polish or something fun...like a chain....along with surprise hcg tests for fun. Any takers? Yes I am a little lonely and pathetic sort of. LMAO! Just thinking it could pick all of our spirits up.

 

[wontgiveup]

Oh that sounds like so much fun
But this time around im not even picking up or getn around a hcg test till im at least 2 days late
Speaking of nail polish i bought some Crackle Nail polish that stuff is awesome makes the coolest designs...

 

[wontgiveup]

Oh and id like to add im staying away from IC, if i do get any i wont be opening the package till im 2days late
My plan is to ONLY USE frer From now on!!!!

 

[lalala77]

Motherofboys...pm me with your addy ...I have amazon prime with the free shipping. I want to see if it will ship to you in the Uk...under my prime membership. That would be so awesome.

 

[alin3boys]

Hi my fertility specialist told me anything above 9 was fine my lp is 11-12 and i have 5 boys,we have been trying now 2 years with no luck and im hoping to be pg before im 43 which gives me 8 months lol,i am on cd 23 of a 25-26 day cycle and around 9-10dpo would a clearblue + pick hcg up or should i wait to test no line on ic test.

 

[motherofboys]

i have pm'd you lala
i am steering clear of ics this time too. well i have 4 left but will wait till i am late. i am not adverse to using a supermarket test so that is probably what i will use.
i am not going to focus on temps. i will be temping from around cd10 and up until i get cross hairs to confirm O. i dont think it can really tell me any thing other than the date i O. hopefully this will solve my sleep issue as i wont be relying on temping.

alin3boys, thank you, thats very reassuring to know that my lp is ok now. i think i will probably go with the lower dose of b6 as both doses got the same result.
i am not going to be timing bd next month either well as much as i possibly can ignore it lol

feeling a bit more positive. trying to forget and relax as much as possible, try to think of the b6 as just taking a vitamin suppliment rather than part of ttc.
dunno why i am so surprised i have said so many time next year is my year, i wont get my bfp this year.

Your lp is fine

 

[HurstMom]

Hey I have a question for you gals. I took another test today with fmu. BFN. But an hour or so after I got up I started having contraction type pains. It would stop me in my stracks. I'd double over and couldn't move it hurt so bad. It was painful right where my uterus is and was making my pubic bone ache. The pains were perfectly timed like contractions. Some every 5 minutes apart, then some every minute. Then 5 minutes, then they tapered off. Can someone give me some insight? I am certain this was not a bowel issue. Was this a very early miscarriage? The pains have since stopped. I feel fine. No bleeding. Cervix is high hard and closed. What was that??

 

[HurstMom]

I realize it shouldn't be that painful but could that have been a later implantation than I thought? This is approx. 10 days after I o'd.

O that sounds like a great Idea ( stop temping after O so that i can Sleep lol) Like you said its not going to tell me anything except for when to expect my period, cause i do take a nose dive right befor she comes..
were BDn every other day and Every day after a positive OPK

Possibly Implantation BUt It could also be Cramping caused by all sorts of reasons, If your realy worried about it i would make a doc appointment or just call a nurse and see what she says. I would def see a doc if it feels like contractions.
Af may just be on her way for you... i had sharp pains in my uterus 6 days befor my AF showed this cycle...

The pains came and went for an hour or so. They've since stopped. I haven't had any spotting/ bleeding of any kind. My Cycle is around 30 days and I still have about 4 days until af I believe.
