[Deal9027]

Good morning ladies!!!

Cheeky - Fx Fx Fx that the stays away!! Those are some promisng symptoms you have!!!!!!!

Pinkturtle - Welcome! And I agree that you should either take a PG test and/or see your doctor & get some blood work done, although I will say, our bodies are the most complex things and so much goes into them working properly so this could just be a hormonal shift that's caused this change in your period. Good luck!

Peanutmamma - Welcome & good luck!!!!

Krissy - your chart looks great! Any symptoms?

Smiley - I hope today is a better day for you

Hunni - Love the dream & the fortune you received!!! Fx Fx you get your BFP this cycle!!!! How many DPO are you now? Any symptoms?

Confuzion - How are you doing?!

Ronnie - good luck getting your blood work done & hopefully you'll have some answers soon & from their be able to plan & conquor the to get your BFP!!!!

AFM, just waiting for the to arrive. Starting to feel that slight dull achy feeling that means she's on her way. On the bright side though - so far today I can say I'm 12DPO!!! This is already a longer (albeit by only a few hours) LP than my last cycle...lol!!! Maybe if AF does't show until tomorrow I can lengthen it by a whole day... It makes me very happy to see my body working the way it should be!!!! The Vitex has really & truely helped me with my cycle!!!!

Yay deal!!!! so glad your lp is climbing on up there!! Still holding out hope for your bfp this month, chart still looks good, but I know that doesn't mean much usually

Hi everyone! Congrats to any new BFPs, and fingers crossed for ladies that are still waiting

As for me, I was hoping to test around the 30th of June, bit I still haven't even ovulated and I'm on CD 34! I'm getting so down about the whole process. I'd been regular until April when AF decided to stay away for nearly 7 weeks! AF turned up around CD45. This cycle will be even longer as no o date as yet. We've been actively in the TTC since nov, and not used protection since august so coming up to the year mark. even DH is starting to feel discouraged ... I just don't know what to do.

Sorry to be a bit down! Hope everyone else is going well xx

Smiley - Don't worry at all about the BD schedule!! Once you get your crosshairs check out the intercourse analysis thing on FF. I'm pretty sure the three days before O would give you a "high" fertility chance! I think it's actually ideal. I covered the day before, O day, and the day after and mine isn't as high as possible

Hunni - OOOh! Love all the signs! Maybe this is the month! FXed

Cheeky - FX extra tight she stays away today!!!

Deal - I'm not giving up on you yet! That's only a minor temp flux today. They're still nice and high. And loving the long LP for you!! If mine does end up short, you are a great inspiration for taking Vitex!

AFM - No symptoms (I've only had 24 hours to start the psychosomatic symptoms lol). But I am happy enough with how my chart is chugging along now

I just wanted to encourage others with my story. Been trying to conceive for a while. Was first diagnosed with fibroids and had myomectomy in 2012 and have been trying since then. Found out DH had high abnormal morphology sperm and very low sperm count in Dec 2013 and we needed IVF with ICSI. HSG done and everything was fine but fibroids had started growing again so RE adviced us to move the process quickly. Had first fresh IVF and FET in Ferbruary - April and both negative. For ET, my RE could only get a few eggs as my right ovary had moved into the abdomen and couldn't be reached so would need new fresh IVF cycle. My insurance limit had also been reached so would need to pay out of pocket for next IVF cycle.

DH had to travel for work and would only be back in June and we decided to try one shot at natural before jumping again on the IVF cycle. In the meantime, DH had started taking supplements to try and correct the sprem issues.

Lots of BD for the June cycle. Actually took time off from work so that BD would be more fun and less stressful. Ovulated ~ June 7th. Started having cramps and tested on June 14 (early I know), and preg test and OPK test (was trying to save the pregnancy tests) were both negative. Breasts started aching yesterday and decided to test this morning with FMU (~11DPO). Tried with OPK first and it starting blinking with the smiley. Got excited and took a CB digital test and it came out BFP

This is my first ever BFP and I'm so excited. Thank God!!

So hang in there. It can happen when you least expect it to.

huge congrats chia!!!!

Love that fortune cookie Hunni!!!

 

[Deal9027]

Wow Chi - that is an amazing story!!!! A huge congrats & wishing you a H&H 9/mo!!!!!!!!!

So ladies, I got my crosshairs today (not sure why thats good but everyone gets excited when they get them). And confuzion you were right. It made my O day the day my temp was 97.4. Which puts me at 3DPO today instead of 5DPO, I feel like i'm never going to hit 10 DPO

An interesting story for you ladies:

My hubby manages and works in a jewelry store. There's a lady name Patricia that comes in all the time and puts jewelry in lay a way. I've met her 3 times since he's worked there (5 years). Once before I was pregnant, while I was pregnant and after I had the baby. Well, she comes into the store yesterday and tells my hubby, "I had a dream about your lovely wife, that she is pregnant and going to have twins" He just said ok. And she goes "Make sure you tell her because when I have dreams like that they are always true" What makes the story more interesting is 1. Only like 2 people know were actually trying to get pregnant and neither would say anything to her about it. (even if they knew her) 2. You guys know I had OPK craziness this month. I had 4 blazing positives. The last one I took was double the color of the control. I quit taking them because I ran out and was freaking out at how many I positives I had. I did some research and one of the reasons you could have several positives is double ovulation (said usually you have 6 or more days of strong positives) which can result in twins. I stopped at 4 days and don't know how long it was positive.

Just a little fun read for you.

cheeky - FX for you so hard!!!!!

Hunni - love the fortune cookie! And I'm well thank you

deal - yay extended LP! FX it goes on another 8 months!

krissy - yay chart is great

lirpa - have you been seeing a doctor? When your cycles become that irregular, it's time to see someone hon. You shouldn't be dealing with all that stress all by yourself. Either try supplementation at home (like vitex, or soy iso), or see if your doc can help your ovulation along with something like Clomid or Femara. I can't imagine what you've going through waiting so long to O .

chimama - amazing story hon! You are the second person I've seen within the last few days who tried to do IVF but ended up pregnant naturally! Miracles in the air! Amazing! Congratulations and a happy and healthy 9 months!

 

[confuzion]

Wow smiley! I would be floored if her prediction/dream came true!!

 

[peanutmomma]

congrats

Confuzion - Thanks. I've been lurking the threads for soo long and recognize your posts (let's just say I'm a fan). The babyandbump threads have really kept me going through this whole process.

Chimama congrats!!!

Smiley I like the story! Maybe it'll come true!

 

[twinkie2]

Awesome news chi-so glad you got your natural bfp!! H&H 9 months to you!!!

smiley-hoping that she was right! That would be so neat!

 

[smiley4442]

I thought the story was fun, but seriously I don't know what I would do if I had twins! Davey would be 1.5 if I got pregnant this cycle, and twins on top. I'm sure we would make it work. But crossing my fingers the pregnancy thing is correct!!

 

[Captain]

Currently sat in the lab waiting to have my blood taken! Eek!

[KrissyB]

Chim - that is an awesome story! Happy and Healthy 9 months!!

Smiley - LOL That would be something if she was right. But I'm kind of the same mind set with twins. My older sisters are twins and I always thought it would be great having twins...... until I saw how much work just one is lol. And sorry you lost a couple DPO, but it's always reassuring to have the confirmation from your temps.

Captain - Good luck!!

AFM - I realized I do have one symptom apart from my crampy day. (TMI) A LOT of thick creamy cm.

I'm so hoping your pg!! When do you plan on testing? Are you waiting for AF or 10dpo?

 

[KrissyB]

Smiley - I have no idea when to expect AF because of the delayed O.... I mean really I expected it on Friday, so if that's right, I've got a REALLY short LP.
I've got one good FRER in the house, I'm thinking I'll use Monday morning. That will have be at 11 dpo.
