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

[cmwilson]

Sorry AF seems to be on the way. I guess they measure progesterone with different measurements in the US because my doc always said anything over 5 showed some sort of ovulation, 10 was good on an unmedicated cycle and above 15 for a medicated cycle.

 

[foquita]

congratulations dee

it is measured differently caroline

katya - do you take a multivitamin? pregnacare conception lengthened my LP from 10 days to 12 days, then from 12 days to 13 days just last cycle. i think it's the B vitamins in them so you could even just take a vit B complex. i did that before trying pregnacare and my LP lengthened from 10 to 12 days, but then went back to 10 days the following cycle it's worth a shot!

hope everyone else is doing great! xxxx

Hello Nat, hope your well

Katya - Ive got a box of pregnacare conception sitting in my cupboard if you want me to send them to you? PM your address if you do

 

[cmwilson]

Nat! So good to see your name pop up on the thread! How are you?

 

[foquita]

hey louise!

good! i just came on to procrastinate for a few minutes but i've been sitting trawling through loads of threads how are you?

 

[cmwilson]

Doing well thanks. Hope school is going well!

 

[foquita]

yeah it's going really well! although i'm on BnB when i should be studying

 

[cmwilson]

I would be too! Bnb is so addicting!

 

[Diddums]

Nat nice to see you again. How's the studying going?

Lou thanks I would love the box. I've inboxed you

No AF as of yet. Think she will prob appear tomorrow though. Still a 10day LP isn't bad. Better than 8 days last time! Still have two days if spotting though. Will ask my fertility expert about that in feb xxx

Hey Nat I don't take a multivitamin no. But I think I will start! I take folic acid, 50mb b vit complex and that's it. Do you think the multivitamins help?

 

[foquita]

apparently 10 days is fine katya! and i am sure the spotting will be easy to fix, especially if it's caused by low progesterone it's really not long until your appointment i had two days of spotting this cycle for the first time, but my LP was 13 days long instead of 10. so cruel the way my body loves to play these horrible games with me

studying is going well, usually not today though i feel really sluggish and can't be bothered

 

[Diddums]

Yay 10 days good news for me then! Maybe my body is stabilising finally! Yes if I weren't spotting I would have convinced myself I was preggers lol

 

[foquita]

maybe next cycle will be 11 days, then the following one 12, etc i would definitely recommend pregnacare/vit B complex because it worked for me shame it can't get me pregnant though i have run out of things to try now and don't want to even do the next three cycles of letrozole.

 

[Diddums]

Aww Nat sorry you're feeling like that! Are you going to do the last three cycles? I know people who got pregnant on the fourth or fifth medicated cycle so don't lose hope. Have you tried acupuncture or tries taking agnus castus? Is your hubby taking any multivits? Xxx

 

[foquita]

i will do the remaining three eventually, i'm hopefully starting a new job in january so i might wait until february before i start taking them again just having a break will be nice. we can't afford acupuncture, it's so expensive! hopefully one day though

i've taken agnus castus before and it didn't do anything, but also i think the main issue here is the low sperm count and motility because we know i have been ovulating. he takes 1000mg vitamin C, wellman conception, grapeseed extract, 1000mg cod liver oil and bee pollen and has been since july

i'd love to give acupuncture for both of us a go but it would cost a fortune and we are both facing redundancy right now, booo

 

[Rachel789]

Hey nat!!! So good to see you in here, I am glad you still pop in from time to time

Has your OH had another SA since the first one to see if there is any improvement?

 

[foquita]

nah, it would cost us over £200 and trying to get the NHS to do anything above the bare minimum is harder than pulling teeth! i am just waiting for ICSI in 2014 now sad1

 

[Rachel789]

That's really expensive! I don't blame you for not paying that. Well it's just about 2013 so that will be here before you know it. Hopefully you get your bfp in the meantime though.

 

[foquita]

maybe we will re-evaluate when we get to two and a half years TTC at the moment i don't want to spend any more money on TTC though.

that's true, only a year and a half to go

 

[Rachel789]

So you can do 3 more cycles of letrozole? Are they going to have you try iui at any point?
