January testers?

Ash- I can't remember but are you using soft cups by chance? I have heard that they can help with insemination.

I use them and they kinda work for me.

Yes ma'am.. We use a little bit of preseed with the :spermy: to make sure we get it all out of the syringe and right after AI I use a softcup DW will make me "happy" :shy: and then I leave the soft cup in for 12 hours.. Did that 3 times.. :wacko:

As of today witch still hasn't fully showed up just spotting here and there.. It's annoying :growlmad:

Ash, have you had your progesterone checked? I heard that you could have low progesterone if you spot a few days before AF.

I just found out I have low progesterone and it could be the cause of my back to back CPs so I'm trying to learn as much about it as possible. Doc wrote me a Rx for progesterone which I plan to start next time I O.


No never been tested for that.. I usually only started spotting the day before AF.. This is the first time it has been days before AF because i have yet to actually have a flow yet :wacko: .. I'm going to look further into this. I read that taking 750 mg vitamin C per day (increased progesterone 77% and improved fertility) So I may try this along with my prenatal that I already take. Because all the other symptoms I don't have my temps stay elevated through my LP with usually one dip in the middle that always makes me think ID. and my LP so far is usually 14 days.. Thank you for this information.. One of my friends is trying to tell me she thinks I had a chemical mc :cry: I have no idea what to think about that.
 
Hi Weebles, we've been TTC for 3 cycles and 2 of those were CPs. She tested my progesterone when I came in for blood work for both CPs. I would call and tell them you want it checked--can't do any harm. My dr did mention that supplementing with progesterone was considered controversial, but I'm not sure why. I've read lots of success stories on here and other places, plus it doesn't do any harm so I don't see why is considered controversial. Let me know what the doctor says!

Thanks MrsRose! I will call for sure if I don't get a bfp this month, if it's something that can be easily corrected I'd rather find out asap. When I went in for my regular exam and to discuss ttc I was given a phamplet on progesterone injections to receive later on in a pregnancy because my first was preterm. There were some scary side effects but he felt it was because the studies were done on women in a higher risk group to begin with. It made sense to me but the controversy might be along the same line as supplementing with progesterone while ttc. Good luck!

Why does she think you had a CP? With both of mine, the lines were very very faint and never got darker. With the second one, they turned negative before I started bleeding. I didn't keep testing with the first one so that may have turned negative before I started bleeding but don't know for sure.
 
Goes to show your not out till the witch shows! Today I am 8 days late for AF and finally got my BFP!!! :D
 
Tested again this morning and :BFP: is stronger than even yesterday night �� Going to buy the one that says how far on you are because I think I ovulated really late hence the late positive :)
 
the tests :) (phone would only let me upload one photo?)

My period just started so I'm out for January but that's okay!

I was on the pill for the past almost 2 years and I just got my first period off the pill so now I'm excited my body has kicked back into gear and I can start tracking properly! Actually going to call this new cycle cycle one since it's my first period off the pill and now I'll know next month if I am late for real.

Wishing lots of BFPs for you ladies and if not, I'll see you in February! :hugs:
 
Yeah first cycle (been waiting to try for four years though) .. I thought it would take longer because I was on the pill for seven years but thankfully I must have been lucky. Was a little worried because of how late I got my positive but I googled it and probably means I ovulated a lot later in cycle :thumbup::thumbup:

Congrats on your BFP KiKi :happydance: Here's to a happy & healthy 9 months!!


I have no idea honestly. I know she had a couple MC's when she was trying years ago so maybe she was going by what I was saying and comparing them :shrug: But AF finally came all the way yesterday.. I think im going to get the progesterone creme.. Can that hurt me if I don't need it? I'm also going to try the Vitamin C to help boost everything as well.. I was going to take Vitex but I read that if you have a normal period it could actually mess it up and for the most part mine is normal.. I looked back on FF to see how I spot before and its usually 1 or 2 days before AF shows with the occasion of a 3 or 4 day so maybe this cream will do me some good :shrug::wacko:
 
Hi, please can I join in? I've just started using b&b again! This month is our first month TTC. I'm currently on cd27 but my cycles range from 28 to 38 days. I think I'm currently 10dpo but I don't know for sure. I've been feeling nauseous constantly for the last week. I was nauseous very very early on with my sons pregnancy too. I've started testing but so far getting bfns. When do you think I should have got a BFP by? I'm really worried that if this nausea isn't pregnancy what is it?! Any advice?

Congratulations to everyone that has got BFPs!

I'm sorry the witch got you this month. Honestly, I don't know enough about progesterone to know if it's okay to take even if nothing is wrong with it. Can you ask your dr to just check your levels for you? It's a simple blood test that I've had done alongside my HCG tests. I think it'd be helpful for you to know what you're working with. At the very least, you can rule it out.

I'm going to see if I can get it done either today or this weekend.. I may still do the viatmin C just because that really can't hurt me
