long cycles support thread :) the yelping vaginas club! (closed group)

[seabean]

13 DPO today and BFN on a FRER, so I am confident that I will be getting AF soon. Hopefully I ovulate in a timely manner again next month and it finally all works out!

I hope you really O'd raven!

Lil, are you taking your provera at night before bedtime? I think that's what is recommended to avoid an upset stomach. That's what I did and never really felt sick from it at all. Only a few days left for you!

Caroline - I'm glad there weren't any side effects! I'm sending good vibes for a great scan on Wed!

 

[cmwilson]

Well ladies I did my first injection tonight. It went pretty well. There were so many different steps, I hope I did it right! Didn't really hurt so that was a relief. Only 4 more to go! I hope I get good news at my scan on Wednesday!

 

[foquita]

no problem katya, glad you got it ok!

rach how are you getting on?

hope you enjoy the time with your family bethany

raven fingers crossed your temp is high again!

caroline where do you inject yourself? is it in the stomach? I've got fingers, toes, everything crossed for a nice big fat follie on wednesday I just realised I seem really rude cos I didn't say happy birthday on the thread but I said it on facebook happy belated birthday again anyway

dee, third time lucky - next cycle will be the one are you feeling ok about this cycle? do you have a plan for next cycle?

I can't believe this thread is 700 pages long! I'm so happy to have all of your support not long until our one year anniversary

hope everyone else is doing grrrrreat

I really like this:

I thought it was the most helpful thing I've read about pcos so far! I fit into type 2.

 

[seabean]

Thanks Nat! I hope you are right and next cycle is the one! I am probably not going to do anything too different - now that I am actually ovulating, I really don't want to mess with that! Fingers crossed that O happens again this cycle! For now it's just waiting for AF....

PS - love your new pic Caroline!

I think you mean Kayta?

Hi everyone! I am doing ok just trying to spend less time on bnb so I don't drive myself nuts I already know the chances of me o'ing this cycle aren't good so I am just temping daily and waiting for CD 30ish and if no rise by then I will start the progesterone. I don't have my follow up appt to get all of the results until Thursday so I won't have anything exciting to speak of on my end until then.

Caroline-I am really looking forward to hearing about your scan Wednesday. I hope they see some nice juicey follies!

Dee-Sorry to hear about the BFN But it is amazing you are o'ing again!

Nat-Thanks for posting that link I am going to check it out

I hope everyone else is doing well

 

[raventtc]

high temp again this am, ff hasn't given me crosshairs yet? but maybe a few more temps and it will.

 

[cmwilson]

Thanks Nat for the birthday wishes! Thanks for keeping everything crossed for me! I am doing the injections in my stomach but I could do it in my thigh too. How are things going with you? Anything new? Thanks for the link! I'm type two too, I feel like bcp contributed to my PCO.

Rachel - I know the waiting must stink but I hope you O on your own this cycle but if not I hope you can convince the doc to do a medicated cycle next cycle.

Raven - That's great that it seems like you O'd! Did you get plenty of in?

And thanks ladies for the compliments on my new picture! That's me and hubs from my birthday dinner. Just to give you a comparison, below is a picture of me and hubs 10 years ago at my senior prom. I haven't changed much have I?

 

[rmsh1]

Awww cool senior prom pic too!!! All my old pics are home in NZ, I haven't seen them in YEARS. I will have a blast going through them all again when we get back

 

[foquita]

I love the pictures of you and your hubby caroline, you're the happiest couple I've ever seen, you look so in love

you never know what might happen rach, I thought I wouldn't O and then I did, biggest shock ever my expectations for this cycle are high now though!

I've been speaking to duofertility about their monitor:

https://www.duofertility.com/

I was speaking to them before my first appointment because I did the are you eligible part of their website and it told me someone would have to contact me to discuss, the woman I spoke to by email was so nice - she said I can use the monitor even though I have long cycles and she would recommend getting it before I start clomid so I can get a natural cycle in first. I just emailed again last night asking if it would still be a good idea now that we know about the and a guy emailed me back for the details of the SA and I'm waiting to hear back. I think I'm going to buy it though, it's really expensive but I can get it on a payment plan (£149 upfront and £49 for 9 months) and I think it's worth it for the help and advice they give you as well as the monitor! and it's still cheaper than ICSI, which I've decided (again ) that I'm not going to do until at least 2017, apart from my NHS one in 2014.

just waffling/thinking out loud here

how's everyone today?

 

[Diddums]

Raven one more high temp and FF will give you cross hairs. How you feeling this cycle?

Last provera today. Can't wait for AF. Hopefully won't have to wait to long.

Good luck on Wednesday. Hope you have a nice follie Caroline

Xx

Nat i looked at the duofertility when i was looking at monitors, it does look good. I thought i would try the clearblue one first as it was a much cheaper option, but the duo one gives you more info and is more accurate.

 

[mrsc81]

Looking forward to hearing about your scan tomorrow caroline!

Hope everyone else is doing well

 

[foquita]

my cycles are too long for the clearblue one though i don't know what they'll be like now since I just had a 28 day one! i dont want to risk it though in case they go back to normal (for me) and the monitor is useless. i can go up to 70 days on the duo and I like the fact that there are people you can email for advice they've been so nice so far and I haven't even bought it yet

Katya fingers crossed AF comes soon! what dose of soy did you decide on in the end?

 

[bnporter81]

Hi girls...nothing much going on here. You all know how it goes-waiting, waiting, and more WAITING

Dee, sorry if this doesn't end up being the cycle for your BFP. At least you're ovulating, like you said, and hopefully next time will be it

Caroline, adorable pic of the two of you! It's so great that you've been together for so longWishing you lots of luck for your scan tomorrow! I hope you get some good news.

Katya, I know you must be so anxious for AF to arrive to you can start on a new cycle with your soyGood luck!

Nat, the monitor you found does look good...and I agree, the Clearblue monitor didn't work for me either because of my long cycles. I would have to reset it day 5 mid cycle so that I could keep on using sticks. And even on cycles when I KNOW that I O'd, it never gave me a peak reading on those cyclesBut like you said, maybe now if you're cycles are becoming more normal, then it would work out well for you

Louise, Bex, and Lil, how are you girls doing? Any bad nausea or anything yet?

Rachel, hope you're doing wellI know what you mean about not getting on BNB as much to keep from driving yourself nuts.I've been so frustrated here lately that I haven't been either.

Hope everyone has a great week. Hugs.

 

[raventtc]

caroline -nice pictures!! you can see the love you both share

nat good for you trying out a montior, i looked into them too but never decided on what to do with it and all but glad to hear they are so helpful and you haven't even paid them anything yet...that is a plus

afm- ff gave me crosshairs today well not today exactly but around when i thought i o'd. you know this is crazy, i didn't expect to o this soon in my cycle and it looks like i will have a 28/29 day cycle!! yes we did get some bd in cd8,cd10,cd12,cd13(0)...fingers crossed this is it!! Maybe charting took some of the worring out of things and made me feel more relaxed and that has helped my long cycles turn to shorter ones...i don't really know. I took VitB+ (i think that is what it was) for a few months to help with my lp but that is really it, its hard to explain what caused they to get long 80+days and now what has made them shorter 30 or less, but i really think that seeing my temps and charting has helped!!

sorry for my ramble its early for me and i am thinking too much into everything lately!!

 

[Diddums]

Yay for crosshairs raven. Have everything crossed for you!

I've decided to try 200mg soy days 3-7. I prob only have one shot at it as I don't have any more provera so decided on max dosage. Hopefully I will ovulate. I've lost just over half a stone so far so hoping that the weight loss will help as well xx

 

[mrsc81]

Bethany ive had some horrible days of all day nausea , im hungry but nothing appeals and on really bad days its hard to even drink. Im getting tired really easy, even a short walk feels like a marathon! Im glad i gave up my gym membership as i dont want to throw £54 a month away and the way ive been feeling theres no way i could go.

Wow raven you are ovulating early!

Katya well done on the weight loss, thats great! hope the soy works for you
