Peach Blossom:
I didin't know about the classification of older mother...That is a bit depressing...What are all those things you started taking?

 

[Peach Blossom]

I think I have a problem with my luteal phase. I start spotting around 6 dp, even when I was pg. I also have polycystic ovaries, but not the syndrome. The agnus castus will hopefully help with ovulation and the B50 and progesterone will hopefully lengthen my luteal phase and help with a sticky bean! Phew... That was exhausting!!

hey guys,

12 DPO today and broke down and tested .. i tested only because there is a party at work and i wanted to knw if i can drink a glass or two of wine..oh well... looks like i can get wasted now...

i m still not convinced cuz i had AF like cramps all week last week and last night too... my backache was bad.. and i NEVER get backache as a PMS....

so dunno what to think....

 

[Peach Blossom]

12 dpo is still early to test hon. I tested at 11dpo the cycle I was pg and got a I tested again at 17dpo and got There's still hope I'd say! to you.

So ladies, I am out. Got the dreaded, awful witch this morning. Didn't even need to test. I am so disappointed and was really hopeful this was the month. Oh, well. I guess it's time to get all wound up again for next month. Good luck to everyone else who is still left for May.

 

[Worrisome]

Ah Ponymomma, I'm sorry hun, ooh that horrid

Heres to next month though.


Well this will make you laff. I did a very silly thing last night
I did a test ,. I knew it wouldnt possibly pick anything up but couldnt stop thinking about the last period I had. Also the fact that my little ones have just had chicken pox and slapped cheek and that my tablets could have still been in my system. Well I managed to persuade lovely hubby to get me one and he came back with a clear blue digital.

Negative anyway

How silly am I

Hi ladies,

AF got me this morning. Had a good cry and not it is all out of system I feel better again.

Hope you all have better luck this month.

Worrisome - you are an inspiration with your PMA.

Hello lovely ladies,

It's so heartening to read all these posts! I'm finding TTC a kinda weird place to be - sort of us against the world, a bit! We've resisted telling family and friends we're trying because I don't want the hassle each month, but that decision's left me feeling a bit alone. There seems to be plently of help and support for those pregnant, but not much for those trying. Thank goodness I found you lot!!!

I'm 32, with my gorgeous, patient fiance for 10 years, been ttc for 1 year. I had 15 years on the combined pill, and since coming off my cycles been from 29 days to 35 (with one rogue 40 in there somewhere). Last month I got ovulation tests, and found out my luteal phase could be only 9 days - which means we've probably been BDing too early in my cycle. However, we thought we'd got the timing (randomly) spot on, but AF came this morning (CD33). Pretty disappointed.

We'll give it one more cycle of twice-weekly BDing before going to the Docs.

Any of this sound familiar to anyone else?

Good luck and baby dust to everyone!

[ponymomma]

Thank you Worrisome.

Leelee and Goosey, Looks like we get to try again!! I know my DH loves that part!!! There with you on the crying LeeLee. I'm sure anyone who was out running w/ me this morning thinks I am a nut case. Oh well. I do feel much better now. June is the month to get it done!!! Here's to CD1!

 

[leelee]

Thanks to the 2 of you. It is great to have some support and PMA!!

 

[Peach Blossom]

Hey Goosey. My story is similar to yours. DH and I have been trying for over a year. I think I have a short luteal phase too which is why I've started the cocktail of B50, agnus Castus, pronatal, EPO and progesterone cream!! Also doing SMEP where you be every other night until +ve opk then 3 nights in a row. I was due to start clomid in Jan, but found out I was pg so didn't start it. Waiting to see what happens this cycle before going to see the specialist again.

Leelee so sorry wicked got you. Fingers crossed June is your month!!

 

[Worrisome]

Oh god goosey, sorry hun, don't know how but I missed your post.

Theres oodles and oodles of support on here.

Have you had a look at the SMEP plan that may help. Or something to increase the luteal phase (I think it could be Starflower tablets or Agnus castus) Im sure one of them does.
