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

[mrsc81]

Im no good with charts but i hope you did ovulate Katya

 

[raventtc]

ok updated my picture...looks like i need to get another pet or something...blank space drives me crazy!!

 

[Rachel789]

Awww I love your fur babies Raven! Sooooo cute! I hope they bring you your BFP this cycle

Katya-I see you are still marking ewcm on your chart, if you are still having ewcm you may not have o'ed but it is tough to say. If you didn't O I hope you do very soon. I would just try to BD every other day so you are covered

 

[MommyDream]

Aww Caroline. Glad everyone is very happy can't believe how lucky this thread has gotten.

I got cross hairs on FF this morning. FF reckons I'm 3dpo. I'm still only 60% sure I ovulated. What do you ladies think? Guess I will find out in a week or so

Id wait for one more high temp to be sure... FF is a trickerster sometimes

 

[seabean]

Katya - FF has fooled me into thinking I've O'd before, so I agree maybe wait a few more days to see what the pattern looks like. Since it's just the 1 high temp it could go either way the EWCM is a sign though that SOMETHING is happening, and hopefully it really is O!

Raven - Last cycle it looks like you were around CD13, do you think you are you close to O? Hopefully this is your cycle!

To all you pregnant ladies - I'm so glad that you stick around even though you've already gotten your BFPs! It's so encouraging! Hopefully we can all join you soon and make this a yelping babies group

My temps are kind of different from the past few cycles. It seems to take me 4-5 days to get high temps though, going off of previous cycles, so hopefully they will get up again there soon! I won't be taking my temp this weekend because we are going away for a wedding and staying with a bunch of my hubby's college friends in a big house. Should be a fun time, and 4 days of distraction from the TWW

 

[cmwilson]

Katya - I agree with the others, it's a little hard to tell just yet, I'd see what tomorrow's temp brings and keep bding just in case.

Raven - I love your animals! I hope they bring you good luck!

Dee - Your temps are still looking good! It's so great to have distraction during the TWW. I hope this is it for you!!

Rachel - Yay appleseed!!

Mommas-to-be - How do you keep yourself from worrying about things? Now that the main excitement of yesterday has calmed a bit, I find myself worrying a lot about the bean sticking and whatnot. How do you deal?

 

[rmsh1]

Caroline there is no easy way to not worry unfortunately. I was so paranaid for the first few weeks, I had a lot of cm, and I would feel it and worry that I was bleeding and run to the toilet to check. All you can do is be as healthy as possible and try not to stress. Keep yourself occupied

 

[MommyDream]

Dee - I hope you have a nice break from temping and a great time away!

Caroline - Oh the worrying... I worry constantly. If its not about miscarriage, it's about fetal abnormalities or something going wrong with my pregnancy (my good friends SIL has a crazy condition that only affects 1% of pregnant women and as a result she has to be on bed rest and is having a c-section). Everyone is different with how they deal with worries... I find distraction works some days, but also, I do like to be educated on issues and my options, so I can recognize things if they were to happen and hopefully minimize issues.... I think having the BnB support network helps too! We have each other to bounce ideas off of!

 

[Rachel789]

Dee-Hopefully the difference in your chart is a good sign!

I would never leave this thread and I hope no one minds us pregnant ladies sticking around. I feel so comfortable here and really don't want to start a new thread with new people! In the near future I know we will be the yelping babies

Nat-I hope you are doing well Hows the Femara coming along?

Caroline-It is hard not to worry. One minute I feel positive that everything will be fine and the next I am worrying. I think especially after how long we all have been TTC and what we have been through the thought of something going wrong is just so scary. All you can do is try your best to relax and not stress because stressing never helps anything!

I got a call back from my dr's office today in regards to my 3rd beta. It was over 6,000 So on 14 dpo it started out at 206 and less than a week later it is already 6,000. On average it has been just about tripling every 2 days. I picked up and did my first progesterone supplement today. I feel better now that I am on it. I asked the nurse if my progesterone level was something I should be concerned with and she said no, the dr just likes to see it above 20 so it seems mine was just under that and he wants to be safe which I am ok with, one less thing to worry about now My first scan is scheduled for Thursday the 13th in the morning, I will be just over 6 weeks by then!

 

[seabean]

Rachel - with those HCG levels....dare I say it...TWINS?!?!

 

[Rachel789]

Someone else said that too and I read about it and while it is possible it means that it could also just mean one. Now I would like just one in there but if there are two I will take what I am blessed with of course! I had an ultrasound the day after I o'ed and the dr only saw one corpus luteum on the left side. If I had a chance at fraternal twins wouldn't there be two corpus luteums? I guess there is always a chance of identical.

 

[NewMrs2011]

I know I don't post here much but I think it's lovely you pregnant ladies are sticking around! I don't know why (considering nothings changed with me!) but I've been feeling really upbeat and positive today about ttc, and I think it's just after seeing Caroline's wonderful news yesterday. Seeing so many BFPs in here really does give you a bit of hope.

Sorry if the above doesn't make sense, I know what I'm trying to say but don't know if I've worded it right it's late and I'm tired

 

[cmwilson]

Thanks for the support ladies. What Rachel said is right, we've worked so hard to get to this point, it's so worrying that something will go wrong but I'll try to stay positive and keep busy.

WOW Rachel! Those numbers sound GREAT! I can't wait to hear what my numbers are on Monday! I'm glad you were able to get the progesterone started and I'm sure everything will be just perfect now.

NewMrs - I'm so glad you are feeling optimistic! It seemed like it was just never going to happen for me but now that it has happened I know that anything is possible and I KNOW your time and the other ladies on this thread's time will be coming soon!

 

[Lisa92881]

Caroline - I don't really have any words of wisdom for you, I think it's totally natural to worry. I had my worried moments (and didn't tell work until the "safe" point of 12 weeks, and didn't do the big FB announcement until 16 weeks), but at the same time I felt very calm and peaceful about the pregnancy, like everything was going to be ok. I can't really explain it. But I hope you sort of feel the same.

Hi ladies. I have been all over the internet looking for support groups for long cycles and ttc. My cycles are around 44 days long and I was taking vitex to help regulate me but it made my cycles 20 days long so i stopped taking them! Ive been ttc for about 4 months now. This is my second cycle off of vitex. My last cycle was 25 days long and now here we go again with the long cycles But i have read some posts in here and it makes me very happy to see so many BFP's!!!! I am so nervous there is something wrong with me. Thinking about buying clearblue fertility monitor and EPO. Im currently on CD 39.. and BFN soo hopefully the witch comes soon so i can start my next cycle.

Welcome! Don't shoot me for saying this - but 44 days isn't *that* long (I know it feels like forever!!) and the plus side is that if they are consistently 44 days you are probably ovulating around the same time each cycle. I would guess day 30 or so. I think the clear blue fertility monitor can't be used if you have longer cycles, though I'm not sure what the cut off is - someone else can probably help with that. I would suggest trying an ovulation predictor kit (opk) to try to nail down when you're ovulating, before spending all the money on a cbfm. But that's just my 2 cents. There are lots of amazing girls on here who I'm sure can give lots more advice. Good luck!!

luvu12 - Welcome! I second what Lisa has said. You can buy cheap ovulation strips online at sites like amazon.com. I like the wondfo's. They have worked for me so far! Also, taking your BBT is a cheap way to monitor the longer cycles. I spent a ton of money on pregnancy tests in the past, simply because I was going on 40, 50, 60, 80 days in my cycle, and didn't even know whether I had ovulated or not! Taking your BBT is a pretty accurate way of knowing whether you have ovulated yet or not.

I finally have a higher temp , although I slept horribly last night. My husband and I were both wide awake at 4am, no idea why! So we watched the news and eventually passed back out. It was so strange.

Caroline - I'm sure your blood work will come back fantastic!

Rachel - Yeah I'm not sure if there is a correlation between twins and HCG. You could just be a fast riser I guess we shall see

Natalie - We miss you!

Glad you are feeling more positive I agree, these BFPs are giving me a lot of hope too!

Welcome:wave: I have never used Vitex but did have some long cycles 70+ days and lots of irregular ones too...if you have long cycles I would stay away from clearblue monitors since it does start new cycles before you will be done one if its long...try opk's that is what i use they are hard at first to read but when you see a + you will know it and so much cheaper!!

Morning all!

so i changed up my picture...haha! I added our bird we raised to it, so now its 3 cats Kit,Winston,Delilah and our dogs Scrappy and Mason. We found a bird that must have fallen out of a nest on a sidewalk during an early morning run...but we didnt see a nest anywhere and this poor thing looked bad, so animal lover i am told hubby to pick it up and we took it home and raised it...its was a robin and we loved that bird, we did let it fly away after it grew and learned to find food and it would come visit us every night but over time he/she came back less and less it was soo sad but happpy at the same time...so hope this little guy brings us some luck now!!

nothing new going on for me right now...getting a headache i think so maybe that is my sign its coming soon. hope so.
