June Testers Thread - gimme your dates

[msarkozi]

Oh gosh, I totally emphathize with you guys who don't know what's going on with your body this cycle. So frustrating! Not knowing is definitely the hardest part.

Jaymes, I also have a headache and am with those of you who have been abnormally tired. I was also awake in the middle of the night feeling nauseous,laying there wondering if I'm pregnant...this all came on very suddenly after no symptoms at all. But, how do I know if it's pregnancy symptoms or just PMS? During my last pregnancy before my mc I had super sore breasts, backache, etc....none of that this time....


for some BFPs in this last week of June.

Allie - I have spent so much time online trying to figure out the difference between pregnancy symptoms and PMS, and I finally had to give up.....basically, there is no real difference, other then nausea. It is very frustrating, because you want to know, and there is no real answer. Sending you some

 

[Heulyn]

I'll be testing on Monday 28th June x

 

[vickyd]

Hey ladies just got back from a decadent dinner at myparents house...had lovely t-bone stake, baked potatoe and tons of veggies yummy!

Megg, dont know anything about provera, are you defiantely out this month and so hopeful for AF??

Allie our bodies are are our worst emeny during the tww LOL! I also got up to pee a couple times last night and felt hopeful that it was a symptom but before i fell asleep i remembered i ate like a whole watermelon which always makes me pee like crazy

Hearty babes what can i say....Although a long LP is a good thing like Megg says, if youre sure youre out then i can see why youre so pissed off that you wont be able to do much next month.

Im also completely without symptoms my lovelies...

Hang in there girls!!

 

[heart tree]

Yeah, I know a long LP is a good thing. But can it really be good with spotting for 6 days of it? And I'm spotting even while using progesterone cream. I thought spotting meant you had low progesterone. I'm very confused. I have no cramps, no boob pain, boobs aren't bigger, nothing.

I'm also pissed that the LP is this long because it really puts me out of the running to ovulate before I go on vacation in July. I would have been happy with a 12 day LP, that's still in the range of normal.

That all being said, I'm hanging in. I'm trying to find my silver lining. I guess now it will be that I'll know for sure I won't be pregnant for my vacation and can drink! My brother will be so pleased to have his drinking buddy.

for some BFPs in this last week of June.

I got bad ms when I was preggo with my second, but it never started until much much later, weeks after my bfp. So I am cautiously hopfully, but I still think it may be a bug.

Jaymes - when is testing day? I'm excited, because it sounds like a BFP. Fingers are crossed

Megg - hang in there. When do you think you are due for AF?

Testing is every day! Didn't you get that message chicka? I am crazy like that!

That all being said, I'm hanging in. I'm trying to find my silver lining. I guess now it will be that I'll know for sure I won't be pregnant for my vacation and can drink! My brother will be so pleased to have his drinking buddy.

See now?!? There is your silver lining! I have my fxed that something happens for you soon. Like today!

Hey girls, how are we all feeling?

Allie sounds positive keeping everything crossed for you.

Vicky keeping fingers crossed for you as well the TWW is so confusing sometimes and Yum to the watermelon and to your meal out sounds good.

Megg and hearty its all very confusing hope your bodies stop messing with you soon.

AFM I'm not in as much pain as I was I had a good day interview went well lots of positive feedback unfortuntatly I didnt get the job it came down to experience in the end and one of the other candidates had more Key stage two experience than I did I am a key stage one specialist have worked in key stage two but obviously not enough. Bit gutted i didnt get it but pleased that i did my best and it came down to teaching experience so not anything I did or didnt do.

 

[vickyd]

Hearty if i could beat up a cycle i would kick yours in the nuts....Maybe you should call your doc and see what all the spotting is about...I didnt know that spotting is caused by low progesterone. Lately it seems that im completely clueless regarding cycles and the whole ttc buisness, no wonder i dont even know if im ovulating!

Jaymes sounds promising hun! I never had any type of ms or even nausea with either of my pregnancies so im hoping next time i will! I will definately take it as a goos sign...

Lucy, sorry about the job! I agree though that when it comes down to experience it doesnt matter how impressive your CV or interview is.

Well, now I know what I'll be having for dinner! *drool*

Am I definitely out this month? Tough question. Provera makes everything a bit complicated. Its progesterone. So, it makes a bit of a false LP to initiate a bleed at the end. But, I should have full on AF by now. I have no way of knowing if I might have ovulated right before taking it or after just the first dose or two... because it will cause my temperature to rise (just like natural progesterone does to signal that we've ovulated).

Yeah, I know a long LP is a good thing. But can it really be good with spotting for 6 days of it? And I'm spotting even while using progesterone cream. I thought spotting meant you had low progesterone. I'm very confused. I have no cramps, no boob pain, boobs aren't bigger, nothing.

No, spotting through 6 days of it isn't good. Maybe you're reacting to Soy like I reacted to Clomid? That's what happened to me on my Clomid months! But, it doesn't happen to me with the Soy. Spotting does usually mean low progesterone. There is a chance that the cream isn't strong enough to combat the low level. Or, you may have to stop using the cream to get full on AF. Not sure, hun!

Sorry about the job, darling! Definitely glad it was just experience though!

P.S. My "spotting" doesn't seem to be progressing.. and its not even there all the time! Nothing on my liner that I put on 6.5 hours ago either!

 

[msarkozi]

Jaymes - well I am waiting to see your BFP

Lucy - i'm sorry you didn't get the job

 

[Megg33k]

Was just looking at my chart, and decided to take my temp for fun. I usually run in the high 97's or low 98's, at best! It was just 99.41!!! WTF?!?! That's not normal! And, I'm not ill or anything. I don't even feel like I have a fever!!! Sooo...

And, the spotting is barely there! If I wasn't trying to see if it was there, it wouldn't show up at all... if that makes sense? I'm a very confused Meggles right now!

 

[vickyd]

Meggles maybe thats a good thing!!! Maybe youre not out!

 

[Megg33k]

Maybe? I SHOULD be out! I really don't think I released an egg! LOL That's a requirement! But, maybe I missed it when I wasn't looking for it since I expected that I would just start my period soon?

 

[vickyd]

Could be hun!! FX babe!!!!

 

[Megg33k]

Can I say that I hate this?!?! I should be happily bleeding right now! I should be counting down the days until my 1st dose of Soy! I should be counting down the days until O!

No... Honestly, I SHOULD BE HAVING A BABY ON SUNDAY!!!

<--- My life feels very much like that right now!

 

[heart tree]

Megg, my life feels like that too!!! WTF is going on with our bodies??? Vicky, can you kick both of our cycles in the nuts? I love the image of my cycle having nuts by the way!

Lucy, sorry about the job, but good for you for giving it a go. Interviewing is so hard. To know you did your best is such a good feeling even if you don't get the job.

Megg, I've thought that maybe the cream isn't enough progesterone, but my temps have been consistently high, which makes me think I have enough progesterone. I've also toyed with stopping the cream to bring on AF, but that scares me too, in case I am pregnant. I've used this for several other cycles and it has never halted AF from coming on. I do think it is related to the soy given that I spotted for a week before ov'ing also. My only other thought is that I ov'd a little later than FF is saying I did. It would only be by a couple of days. So maybe, just maybe, I'm only on CD11. I'm going to keep using the cream but at a lesser dose for the next few days and I'll keep testing. If no BFP and no AF by Tuesday, I'm calling the doc.

 

[Megg33k]

I like the thought of my cycle having nuts too!

Chart looks like you could DEFINITELY be 11dpo instead of 13dpo! It could just be the soy. Like I said, I had that with the Clomid, but not with the Soy. Maybe you're the opposite? Who knows! Maybe you'd have it with both! Hard to say! My temps have been consistently high some months, but I still think I have low progesterone. I've seen a lot of charts that don't suggest a progesterone problem, but the test shows differently!

Good luck on figuring it out! I know we both need all the luck we can get!

P.S. Cramping for like 5 or 6 days now! Like, tuggy/pully cramps! And, sometimes my left ovary hurts... started yesterday! What the hell is that about?

 

[heart tree]

Thanks for looking at my chart. I've been tested in the past for progesterone and it was totally normal, but I've always had a short LP until I started using the cream which leads me believe I have low progesterone. I'm going to discuss this with the doc and ask about suppositories for next cycle. Oddly enough, I had a wacky cycle last June too. I think June just likes to mess with me.

I have NO idea what your symptoms are all about. Your body and my body need to get a serious intervention. Enough is enough.

 

[Megg33k]

Intervention is right! We need to be on A&E!

 

[heart tree]

Yup, an A&E special intervention on our ovaries. Who would be the people in the intervention? Doctors? Other B&B ladies?

 

[Megg33k]

Probably both! I'd totally be at your ovaries' intervention! With a heartfelt speech in hand, I'd have them both crying so hard that the eggs would just flow out and you'd have a whole litter!
