Hoping to O around the 15th, testing at the end of November!

[AnakeRose]

I should have waited to test, got a this morning at 10dpo and I have AF like cramps. Wish I'd felt the cramps BEFORE testing, then I wouldn't have wasted a test.

confetti, are you able to order tests online and have them sent to you? Kinda seems unfair that the pharmacies don't carry them.

 

[Tigger1723]

I'm out!!!! Grrrrrr, AF this morning. Which makes for a very short LP, like 9 days! This is a problem! I've heard that some women have a short LP coming off BCP.... any experience with this? I've heard maybe a complex B vit?

I'm beginning to wonder if I never ovulated. You can get your af without ovulating after bc. I'm going to use lots of opks this next time to see if I get any positive ones. Did u ever this last month??

Canada is lovely I know cause Whdn I was a student nurse I was considering to go and work there.

I have ordered from ebay some ics but I got so addicted to test I didnt order more.

Pharmacies here have a test called after10, clearblue and some more. pffff quite expensive. so I decided to wait a bit.

Maybe the cramps are implantatiin fingers crossed for u xxx

Wugz - sorry AF got you. I think it can take a cycle or two after BCP, but not always. Do you know your normal LP?

AnakeRose - I think I might be getting cramps too and BFN this morning. Sucks. I miss the okanagan. Have family there and we used to go every summer to visit. Where we live now its cold and dry all the time and summer lasts for 2 months.

Confetti - Looked at pics of Malta online. Very neat and beautiful. Lots of old history there it seems. Do you travel off the island much?

Would love to travel one day. So far haven't been outside Canada except to visit family in USA. Still haven't seen much of USA or Canada. Maybe we will take a late honeymoon next year and go somewhere warm. Always wanted to go to the ocean in a warm, warm place.

Aw, dang it!

I'm so sorry!

Vitamins are always good, I still take my pre-natals everyday, from before my mis-carriage.

All you guys with your "short" cycles! My cycle is long now...

 

[Angel wings13]

Wow confetti, I'm jealous ! Last year we went on a 4 day cruise to the bahamas - thats as far as I've been from fl!

Oooh small world! Where in the Okanagan are they? I grew up south of Kelowna in Penticton

 

[Angel wings13]

You know how they say women who are around each other a lot (like best friends, co-workers,etc) start to get on the same cycle?

That has always been true for me! Usually women I know start to mimic mine..each month they will cycle a little earlier, till we are on around the same time. Weird right? Now my manager (the woman who is also trying to get pregnant) said she just started pms 5 days early... I just o'd... My body better ignore hers, lol...

Now I wonder if I should test! Ff isn't giving me crosshairs, and I honestly thought I o'd last week, then had similar symptoms this week!

 

[AnakeRose]

Wow confetti, I'm jealous ! Last year we went on a 4 day cruise to the bahamas - thats as far as I've been from fl!

And I'm the total opposite....2 cruises, both to Alaska and I'd go back in a heart beat!

I had a friend who did an Alaskan cruise and said it was the best trip she ever went on.

I bet! I would love to do an Alaskan cruise! Did you see whales? I love marine mammals. I've been really wanting to swim with dolphins at discovery cove at sea world. It's very expensive, but it includes a sea world ticket, 3 meals for the day, interaction with dolphins, a man made coral reef to snorkel in, a beach, a free flight aviary where birds literally eat out of your hand! We've been waiting for youngest, children have to be 6 to swim with dolphins, he just turned 6, so we are hoping to go next year...it's like $400 a person, with the FL resident discount! My fiance thinks we should just go on a "real" vacation, since it's so expensive...

I've lived in florida my whole life, so the disney thing, though fun, gets old when you grow up going there 4 times a year,lol.

 

[Angel wings13]

B michaelson, I meant to ask you, do you see an endocrinologist for your thyroid? I take armour thyroid , 120mg, or 2 grains..
The reason I ask, is because I was curious if you had to change up your medication before ttc... Or are they just going to keep an eye on your levels? My doc didn't change my meds and was going to just keep an eye on my levels.

Yep we saw a few whales, dolphins and many seals. The Alaska panhandle is a extension of the coast of BC. I had to laugh at some of the people who were covered from head to toe in winter clothing and it was 30C+ out (like 90F) and they were COLD. Here I am in shorts and a tank top and they're looking at me like I'm crazy. Don't get me wrong, where I'm from (south central British Columbia) it rarely gets too far below freezing in the winter and we get 40C+ summers (over 100F).

I'd love to go to Florida some day I've been to California a few times and it has a similar climate to home.

Too funny. My sister went to Australia for a year and she said summer there is very warm. She was wearing shorts and everyone else was bundled up.

Well my dr actually put me on meds because I told her a couple years ago I was going to ttc. She said it would be harder for me if I wasn't on meds.

I'm only on 75 mcg of synthroid. My whole family is hypothyroid but mostly my mom. She was diagnosed with Hashimotos. I was only put on meds a couple years ago when I got a new dr. All my other bloodwork showed my levels were a bit below normal for many, many years but not enough for anyone to want to medicate me until they changed what is considered a 'normal' level reading.

 

[chailuv]

Sorry all to drop in on your threads but im going bananas!!!
If I have calculated right I should be 15dpo with no AF today and got a BFN this morning - im officially a POSA!!

Ive tested since 10 dpo because I was so convinced I was pregnant

While we were not actively TTC - we were not trying not to...

Anway, I had very common early preg symptoms from 5dpo, strange twinge in my lower abdomen, very sore breasts, headaches, feeling off SO TIRED, complete aversion to red wine (though of it made me what to puke) - this is when my other half went are you pregnant? LOL then it started the crazy symptom spotting trend

So now im think im nuts, no AF but waiting..... don't want to test again tomorrow because I don't want to see another BFN!!!

While we were not TTC, the idea has very much excited us and if it not ment to be this month we are on the TTC bandwagon - we are going to be married in Nov 2013

...........................frustrating

Welcome to the Nut Hut!

Nut hut! always cracks me up

Welcome chailuv...

You sound like me last month. I was post mc, and my cycle ended up being 41 days and I no lie spent a hundred bucks on tests! I am a full blown addict too! I THINK I o'd on thanksgiving, but might have last week(had weird symptoms)...

It's SO frustrating, but all these girls are real nice and supportive!

Ahhhhh I tested again this morning why did I even bother lol
Another BFN....

I might be starting to think it was a chemical pregnancy... did you end up going to the doctor - I was going to go today but to tired and have to much stuff to do around the house (I think im just putting off the blood test as I hate them - I have to work the next 3 days so if no af ill have to go to doctors and see what they say

 

[AnakeRose]

Hope you all had a good weekend! Hope we get some BFP'S this week

 

[Angel wings13]

Chailuv -No, I didn't go to the doc due to the long cycle - it was still barely within "normal" range for after a miscarriage. Apparently this cycle is going to be long too. I am on cd 24 with zero sign of AF, and it appears I am 3 dpo. With my other miscarriages my cycles went right back to normal. I went off BC in May, and my cycles were screwy then, so this may have nothing to do with the MC, but still be from the BC. The BC I was on gave me literally NO period the ENTIRE time I was on it - maybe my body isn't adjusting well.

Also, since my thyroidectomy, and because of the grave's, I have to stay slightly hyper-thyroid, with my TSH around a 1, last check it was only .56.... hyper-thyroid can delay cycles.

I've been taking a half pill a couple times a week to try to bring my TSH up a little bit.

The monkey beat me today and forced me to test I'm 3 dpo!!!! (I think)

All this test talking just got me curious,lol. I REALLY need to show some self restraint this month, especially with christmas coming up. I can't afford to keep buying every test out there, about 3 times for each brand...except the dollar store ones, I can go buck wild with those

Please someone start getting a around here!!! I have to wait a whole week to test, so I'm hoping to live my addiction vicariously through the rest of you that are ahead of me!
