Sorry for AF Raven

 

[Rachel789]

Raven- So sorry AF showed. I know the feeling in great looking charts and nothing ever coming of it. I am 99% sure AF is going to show for me today or tomorrow so I feel your pain.

Katya-Wow you are doing great with the bike rides! Keep it up, it will be worth it in the long run I really hope you O soon!!

Nat-How many proveras do you have left?

Dee-Any signs of O?

Caroline-Any "symptoms" yet? I REALLY hope this is your cycle, you deserve it!

Bethany-How are things with you? What is your plan for next cycle if AF shows?

How is our preggo girls doing? Lil, you have a scan coming up this week, right?

AFM-Huge temp dip today so AF will likely be here today or tomorrow. I haven't had any spotting since we BD'ed a couple days ago but I expect to see some at some point today with how low my temp is. I am disappointed but not surprised at all given my zero symptoms and feeling the same I do every other BFN cycle. I am still trying to decide if I should try the soy with my HSG this cycle. I know it is a decision I have to make but what do you girls think? Anyone have any idea how quickly it leaves your system? I just don't want it to interfere with my first IUI/Femara cycle in October but I really want a shot at O'ing next cycle. I am torn as to what to do. One minute I say no I will just stay away from it and the next I am really excited to try it. This is such a tought decision

 

[MommyDream]

Raven - sorry AF arrived...

Rachel - sorry it looks like AF might be on the way for you as well. At least you will be closer to getting the HSG and starting your meds! I don't think soy will hurt if you just take it for one cycle, but I'm no expert. Don't forget to BD - I got my BFP on my HSG cycle and all is well so far.

Caroline - sorry about the major amounts of progesterone suppositories. I'm currently taking 3 a day until the end of the first trimester, so I feel your pain. It's horrific! I just need that placenta to form and start producing progesterone... haha. I hope this is your cycle though, and I'm sure you'd take all the progesterone in the world if it means a BFP and healthy baby!

Kayta - great job on the bike rides! You are amazing!

All is well with me. I have a 9 week scan on Friday and really hope the little raspberry in there is doing well. We saw a heartbeat last time so I hope to again and get the OK that everything is well. If it is, I'll likely start telling my older brothers and wives (but keep it in the family until the end of the 1st tri). Exciting! Our parents already know and are on .

 

[seabean]

Rachel - I never tried soy, but I can't imagine it would interfere in a following cycle I know what you mean though, going back and forth on decisions like this...it's so hard to know what to do and you don't want to mess up! I hope AF stays away, but at least you have a great plan ahead of you.

Caroline - what day are you testing on again?

I have some EWCM today! I will take an OPK tonight. I have to use them sparingly b/c I think I only have a small handful left and it could be like a week to ten days before O.

Raven, sorry about AF

Rachel, sorry about the temp. drop. I know it must make you feel down seeing it drop this morning

Nothing new with me really. I had a couple of days where my temp. dropped, but then it came back up and has been 98.0 for the past two mornings. However, I took an OPK last night and it was just a hair off of positive, making it look like I'd O. soonI have no clue anymore. If AF does show then I think I'll use soy again and up my dose.

Hope everyone has a great day

 

[cmwilson]

So sorry about AF Raven. I really do feel like it's just a matter of time for you.

So sorry about the temperature drop Rachel. I was so hopeful. I would say give the soy a shot. I doubt it would mess with your Femara cycle. I know it would be hard to just sit it out a cycle.

Katya - 18 miles! Wow! Good for you! You are doing so great! Keep up the good work!!

Lil - I agree those suppositories are a pain in the butt (more like a pain in the va jay jay )! But you're right, I'd take any amount of anything if it would help me get pregnant. Good luck at your appointment! Will you get a picture at this appointment? I can't believe you are almost 9 weeks already!

Dee - I hope O is around the corner for you! Good luck with the opk! I am probably testing maybe Monday? I have my blood test next Tuesday.

Bethany - It definitely looks like you O'd! Maybe the temp drop was implantation?

AFM - As much as I'd like to say I'm having lots of symptoms, I'm not. Any things I do have can be related to taking the progesterone. Not really having sore boobs or anything. I just don't think this will be it for me. Just looking to next cycle and maybe I'll get more than one follie.

 

[bnporter81]

Rachel, your temp came back up! Maybe that's a good sign!

Caroline, your temps. are looking awesomeI hope this is it for you. And thank you...I'm still not sure if I did O. because I'm still getting dark OPKsGuess I'll find out soon.

 

[raventtc]

thanks for the love ladies i am okay this month i don't know why but i am!? good luck to everyone else in the 2ww I think i am going to still chart for awhile but might stop during the 2ww this time too, like half way thru it. just to ease the mind some.

katya do you ride a bike outside or an inside exercise one?? you are making me want to try it out...i have one to ride outside i just don't ususally like ridding bikes it kills my legs but i guess that is what is supposed to happen..lol...maybe i will give it a try when it finally stops raining one morning.

 

[Rachel789]

Rachel, your temp came back up! Maybe that's a good sign!

Caroline, your temps. are looking awesomeI hope this is it for you. And thank you...I'm still not sure if I did O. because I'm still getting dark OPKsGuess I'll find out soon.

My temp is back up but I am not getting my hopes up. It did this on 13 dpo a couple cycles ago too and I got really excited because that never happened to me before and sure enough AF showed. I was spotting during that time though for three days. I spotted after BD'ing a few days ago but nothing since then. I just wish I knew what my LP was going to be this first cycle off clomid. Pre clomid I think my LP was about 12 or 13 days but on clomid it was 14 so I am not sure exactly when AF is due. Originally I was going to test today if my temp was still up but the thought of seeing a BFN scared me as it would likely ruin my day so if my temp stays up tomorrow on 14 dpo I will likely test then but if it's down I won't bother. Still not much for symptoms to speak of. Yesterday I had a pain off and on all day in my left boob but thats gone now. I would think if I was pregnant I would be feeling something by 13 dpo

 

[Rin731]

So.... CD 25 today. (Or CD 1, I guess, if this really is the ) I've been having twinge-y pains on my right side of my lower stomach,and I went to the bathroom this morning, (Sorry tmi ) and when I wiped, there was a small clot, and new blood.

Even if it's not quite a proper cycle yet (I was spotting 2 wks ago), I hope it means this tea is working and regulating me

 

[Diddums]

Rachel will you test tomorrow morning if your temp is still up?

Raven I have an outside mountain bike that we ride along Basingstoke canal. I had a bike that I bought a few years ago but the frame was too small which made cycling difficult. A friend of mine is also losing weight and bought himself a bike to go cyclin with so I said I would go with him. Went on a couple rides with my small frame bike and it was really difficult so decided to buy a new bike. Hubby wasn't sure as he didn't think I would use it and suggested a bike off eBay. I'm impatient and wanted he bike straightaway so convinced him to buy me one from halfords. Piked it up a week and a half ago and except two days I've been cycling every day and since I got it already cycled 85 miles with it and I love it tool a break today as my legs were painful but going out again omorrkw and we generally cycle close to 10miles a day it's the first exercise I've loved doing and actually look forward to doing. Waitin until I lose a bit more weight, maybe another stone or two, then I will start swimming as well to tone up. Too self conscious to go at the moment. Lol sorry that was a bit longer than I thought it would be. Short answer is its an outside bike lol. Very fun ESP if you go with someone.

Caroline I forget when will you be testing? I have my fingers crossed for you. And all ladies in the TWW remember that no symptoms does not necessarily mean bfn. The same as symptoms does not mean bfp. Good luck to you all

No signs of ovulation for me yet. Cm is now creamy so hopefully I will O in the next week or so. Bit nervous as I know I won't have anymore provera so will just have to wait for AF to come which could be as long as five months wait as that's when my next appointment is, by whih time I need I lose another 3 stone. I can do it! Xxxx

 

[MommyDream]

Loving the charts Rachel and Caroline...I think we are due for some more BFPs!

 

[Rachel789]

I am in such shock right, I can't even believe I am coming on here to tell you girls I got my BFP I really thought I was out two days ago with the temp drop. And I don't really have anything I would call real symptoms! Maybe they will come with time. I am going to get my blood test today to confirm and get my progesterone checked. Here is the tests:

[mrsc81]

OMG OMG OMG!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

 

[seabean]

Ahhhhhhhhh Rachel! I am so freaking happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mrsc81]

Rachel other than strange boobie sensations, symptoms hit me at 6wks Get plenty of food in you while you can, and buckle up its a bumpy ride

 

[Rachel789]

Thank you girls! I cannot believe this, I don't know when it will really sink in. I am afraid of the morning sickness that may come but it will be well worth it

 

[mrsc81]

I sat in a daze for days when i found out, and it still doesnt feel real, my doc said it will do when im in labour

 

[Rachel789]

yea I would think it would set in then!

I really think this was the first cycle since stopping BCP that I had a good lining. Because I know on clomid it was thin and pre clomid I had suspicions because my AFs were so light. I know the PCOS of course contributed to how long it took but I wonder if my lining was a big factor too. For the first time this cycle I drank raspberry leaf tea, maybe that helped my lining I also took evening primrose and baby aspirin for the first time this cycle. My dr. recommends I stay on the baby aspirin even now that I am pregnant.

Rachel so so so very happy for you!!!!!! yay!!!!!!!!!! Xxxxx
