Feeling gone and I've not come in yet. Usually would come on right after the poo feeling hehe

All good then been to the gym for a few classes then had a double lunch and still hungreh! Pancake day today so lotsa carbs later do you guys do that? Something to do with lent I think.

 

[hlynn]

well im glad af hasnt came yet..10dpo can still be too early..ive seen lots of ladies not get bfp till 14dpo or later..just depends on the woman or pregnancy i guess! heres its only 9:30 AM lol so i just got up not long ago..im hungry though DH is feeling better so i might tell him to go get some good food

My LP last month was 11 days, so in theory Im due on tmw. Going to do a FRER tmw, last one so fingers crossed. Have to wait til AF comes or doesnt after that as I cba to order more from amazon

Glad hubby is feeling better, flu can tear through a family. My mum gave it me as an xmas present last year :/

Hiya!

How's it going? I still feel like crap. I went into work today, but I probably should have stayed home. I think I may have strep throat, I usually get it around this time of year. I get it every year and sometime multiple times a year. I even had scarlet fever last year cause I didn't take care of it. Blah.

So, Helen your temps are still high, so that's good. Let's hope AF stays away. So, is your LP short? Have you considered taking vitamin B6, I heard that helps to lengthen your LP. Not sure what's the minimum LP to sustain pregnancy. Also, accupunture is suppose to be really good as well, I may consider it too. I think my health insurance pays for part of it.

Heather, let's hope your body isn't playing tricks on your either. But I think you're in a good position, since you've been pregnant before, it's bound to happen again, right??? I have complete faith in the fact that you'll get pregnant really soon. I know it's been a while, but my analytical mind is telling me that the longer we're all at it, the more chances we have to get pregnant. They say that about 90% of fertile women get pregnant within 1 year, so I say our odds are working for us now!!

So, I found a website here in canada that is similiar to this site but it's mainly for women that are seeing fertility specialists. The women talk about the different clinics and doctors and costs. I found my clinic that I'm going to on Thursday and I found out that the cycle monitoring can be pretty tedious cause you're suppose to go there in the morning from 7 to 9am for bloodwork and ultrasounds and then you have to wait to see the dr after that, but sometimes the wait is like 2 hours before you see the dr or if you have to do an IUI or IVF. Anyhow, I guess it's worth it, but my only concern is missing alot time from work. I don't really want to tell my boss that I'm going to do this fertility stuff, my boss is a man and I don't feel comfortable telling him this kind of stuff. I guess if it's taking me from work a lot, I'll have to tell him something. Ah well, I guess it's a good thing that it's across the street from work.

Morning

Hope you feel better soon monique-have you tried taking echinacia? It always helps when im ill. Try to take it easy tho, won't get better if you push yourself

With the drs, could you take it as holiday for the first few days? Then once you know what path you're taking you can decide if you're going to tell your boss. Would it be classed as a medical appt needing time off? My husband always just makes up the time and I'm self employed so I have no idea maybe there's someone female in hr you could talk to tho?

Did an early test which was neg again, but still no AF. I think 11 day lp is ok tbh if it is that but haven't tried taking anything apart from normal preg multi vits - I read that someone had a worse lp with b6 and clomid so don't want to mess things around

Temps are still looking ok, need to retest in 3 hrs when I wake up again. Let's hope I stay hot!

 

[cranberry987]

Just realised that k might have actually ovulated later than I thought. With the temp rise at cd 24 and spotting on 26 do you think this could have been ov? My body tried to ov on the 18th but didn't then tried again a few days later?

Totally freaking out as we missed ov if it was then. I know sperm can survive for 5 days+ but not v likely tbh. And also it means have to wait another week to start new cycle then. :Cry:

 

[hlynn]

monique- i feel positive some months and not some other months..there are months when i think that ill never get pregnant again but then some that have me thinking i will..hehe..im feeling optimisitic this month but not too much..i just know that a lot of the things i normally get that tell me im out arent around, so its making me a little hopeful but i dont want to get all excited to be let down, and i will be so mad at my body if its playing games with me! lol
helen- i wish i knew more about temping to help u out..but sadly i only know that it rises after ovulation and stays up til af..not much else i sure hope u didnt miss ovulation though!

 

[cranberry987]

Got my blood tests today which were done on cd28 and they were 12, more than 30 is ovulation, so i didnt ovulate basically. gutted. going to talk to dr tmw hopefully so will ask to up my dose, might pay for a monitored cycle too, cant rly afford it, but i cant do this month after month.

 

[hlynn]

is there still a chance that u could have? isnt 12 a little high to have nothing happen and what about ur temps showing u did?

 

[cranberry987]

Probably produced the follicle but didnt release an egg. Going to see about having a hgc shot next cycle maybe if my dr calls me back. But tonight I'm just gonna get wasted.

 

[so_anxious]

helen, maybe you ovulated later, cause when I look at your chart there is an obvious temp rise. Are they saying that your temp can rise and you still not ovulate? If that's the case, then there's a possibility that I don't ovulate too. This is kind of scary!!! I'm so sorry hun!!

Would an HGC shot help you to ovulate? I agree with you get wasted girl....

Heather, it's hard to stay positive when month after month we're disappointed, but I guess positivity helps us with the stress, right??? I don't know, I still feel like crap, but I'm totally excited for my appointment tomorrow. yippee!!!

I have faith in all of us this year!!

 

[cranberry987]

I think that the theory is that you produce the follicle but it doesn't get big enough to make the egg pop. So there's some progesterone (and therefore some temp peak) but less. No way to tell rly if you ovulate or not from temping. It seems to be complete bullshit. Def not doing it from now on.

I just came on so starting clomid again Friday

I rly hope your appt goes well tmw. Do not leave until they have answered all your questions. And if they say is there any more questions, think for 5 secs before you reply. You're bound to come away wishing you'd asked something so don't worry.

 

[hlynn]

so sorry helen..this was my last shot with clomid so im gonna be a little worried if no bfp this month..just because im wondering what else the RE will do..if ur not supposed to take it more than 6 months how we will do nething else? i usually need help with ovulating..but last month i did on my own just with a 9 day lp..hmmm! now im wondering hehe

 

[cranberry987]

I have heard that ppl sometime take clomid for longer but you might need to have a rest in between cycles. It does increase the risks etc but it can be dine. Normally tho they assume that there's an additional problem so try something else

You're not out yet tho so fingers crossed

 

[hlynn]

im pretty sure im out..even though im not having a normal seeming cycle i can just feel it, ya know? i just dont think i am..im soo used to seeing bfns and getting af i just cant imagine anything different happening for me! but im not too sad like normal, just patiently waiting for somehting to happen hehe
idk if this happens to anyone else but i think on a normal bfn cycle i can feel my hormones dropping or something, llike at 10 or 11dpo i feel really depressed and on edge and sad all day, i dont think that has happened yet but idk, i just know it happens to me most months..i wonder if anyone else has that lol i should start a thread

 

[cranberry987]

Quite confused. Usually when AF arrives it's heavyish spotting for a few hrs with cramps which needs a pad for then I'll need a tampon. All I've had so far is a small amount of brown when I wipe. Ofc my crazy brain now saying it's ib.

I know clomid can make periods lighter but how am I supposed to know when day one is this way. Dr said it's the first day you wake up with flow enough to need a tampon. So day 1 is tmw now? With two days of spotting?

 

[hlynn]

i have had all brown spotting as a period on clomid..but it could be ib for u..guess its hard to tell ull just have to wait and see what happens in the next few days fx'ed it is!

 

[cranberry987]

Red This morning just rly light so I guess this is cd1. Least I know now I didn't get the timing wrong ness starting to worry that id ov'd 5 days later than i thought and wasted
A cycle.

I cant believe you haven't tested yet! So much will power!

 

[hlynn]

lol i decided not to test today either..i want to give af a chance to show first..i just have a feeling she will! so i dont wanna do any tests til sunday but i have a feeling shes gonna show today or tomorrow..stupid lol..i just hope if she comes its during the week and not the weekend because i want to get my RE appointment made and what not

 

[cranberry987]

Youre quite lucky to get apps so fast. We would have to wait, god, months. Even if I just want to see my GP it takes yonks to get an appt.
