I think I read somewhere that when you are doing progesterone suppositories it puts more progesterone in the uterus but your blood tests for progesterone levels won't necessarily go up. So maybe it wouldn't affect your temps like oral progesterone I am not sure but that is what I have read.

And I also love the new kitty pics, they are adorable!!

Lil-Don't you have your scan today? Good luck, let us know how it goes

Oooh, then even better Caroline! I agree with Rachel,

Rin - I agree w/ Bethany that your body might just be reacting to the tea, or in that it just reached it's "maximum capacity" with its lining and is shedding it. Without ovulation, I think any sort of bleeding would be different than normal period, even when it's induced by provera, tea, etc. When I was reaching ~90 days without AF, it finally started coming with spotting, wierd clots, etc, but it eventually got really heavy and lasted far too long - at that point I decided it was best to see the Dr. I think if you continue to have strange bleeding patterns, I wold recommend going to the Dr. Also, even though the tea might seem like it's working b/c it is giving you somewhat of a period, that kind of worries me that it's such strange bleeding. I don't know if I would keep taking it, but that's just my opinion

Bex - I wouldn't worry about the bloodwork stuff. I'm sure your little bean is just fine.

Thanks for the comments on my kitties! Darcy is in the laundry basket, Tess is the dark gray one and Kit is on the bottom. They're my babies.

As far as my temp, I didn't sleep very well last night, I kept waking up and going back to sleep so that could be why my temp was up. I don't know. We'll see what my temp does tomorrow.

Not really feeling anything symptom-wise. There may be a bit of pressure type feeling in my lower abdomen but I could be completely making that up in my head.

Here's my chart from the other time I O'd. I think the pattern may be similar but obviously it looks slightly different. What do you think?

 

[Rachel789]

I can see differences in the charts! I guess only time will tell. When did you say you will test, Monday?

Monday or Tuesday. We'll see how I feel.

 

[MommyDream]

I did have my scan today and all went well... Baby measure exactly 9w1d and I have a pic up on my journal!

Caroline, your chart does look different! I'm so excited to hear your results on Monday or Tuesday! FX!

 

[seabean]

Lil - amazing pic! Congrats!!!
Caroline - The big difference that I see is that this cycle it keeps climbing up and up! Last cycle just kind of plateaued and came back down - hopefully this means another BFP soon!
Rachel - Have a great weekend on Cloud 9!
Nat - How did the provera go? AF yet?

I think my OPK from this afternoon is juuuust about +. Not quite though? What do you girls think?

The first part of this is def true because I am on 3x suppositories a day and they don't test my blood for it anymore because it isn't reliable... I don't know about the temp part... Interesting thought....

Can't wait for Caroline to test... Was your LP around 18 days that time you did ovulate?

I would count this as positive if it was me!

 

[cmwilson]

Dee - Thanks! I would say that your opk looks like it could be positive! I'd say bd just in case!

Lil - My Lp was about 18 days that other cycle but I was doing the progesterone and stopped when I got the bfn and it took a few days to get AF so I'm not sure what my Lp would be naturally.

 

[Rachel789]

Dee-It looks VERY close if not positive

 

[mrsc81]

Rachel youve got your due date as 2012 instead of 2013 in your sig

 

[Rachel789]

oops thanks for pointing that out!

 

[Diddums]

How are you ladies?

My opk has a slightly darker line today and cm is getting less cloudy and more stretchy soni hope maybe I will O in a week or so? Which is the same time I ovulated on my one and only ovulating cycle fingers crossed everyone

 

[seabean]

Katya, that would be great if O was on its way for you! Maybe that soy is working. your temp seems to be getting lower which can be a sign of your estrogen rising before ovulation

Caroline, temps are stil looking fab!

I'm almost positive that I am in the tww now too my nipples kill, which has only ever meant one.thing for me my opk was positive for sure yesterday and I had all of the usual bloating and strange squeezy cramps. Hopefully my temp will back me up on this!

What are all the Americans up to for this long weekend?? Hope everyone else is doing well!

 

[bnporter81]

Hi everyone...

Dee, yes it definitely does look like you're in your TWW...congrats! To answer your question, I don't really have a plan. I think this is the first cycle in about 8 months where I don't have oneBut I don't know. I'm just kind of going along and trying not to dwell on everything too much. Maybe if I stop stressing and thinking about it all the time then something good will happen. I just know in any case I need a break from the stressing and thinking for a while

No big plans here. Today we have a lot of rain from Isaac so there's not really anything to do outside. I'm not sure about tomorrow. I'm glad school is out, though...I can sleep in a little bit, lol

Katya, that nice drop in temp. might be a great sign! Make sure you do an OPK today! I hope you O. soon!

Caroline, your chart looks awesome! Wishing you lots of luck in the next few days!

Hope everyone has a nice Sunday

 

[Rachel789]

Dee- it def looks like you o'ed I hope this is it for you!

Katya- I hope that temp drop is a good sign o is coming very soon

Bethany- I know how frustrating this must be for you when do u see ur Dr?

Caroline-your chart still looks great

I hope everyone else is doing well

Dh and I are away at the beach this weekend...we are staying at the hotel we got married originally when we planned this trip I thought I would be sipping on rum runners all day but I don't mind having a reason not to drink

 

[cmwilson]

Katya - I hope that O is on its way! That temp drop looks very promising.

Dee - Looks like you O'd! Hooray! Hope you got a lot of bding in!

Bethany - I really hope something happens for you soon.

Rachel - Enjoy your weekend away! You must be walking on air! Any symptoms yet?

Nothing new here. No real symptoms except my high temp but I had high temps before and got a bfn so not too optimistic. We'll see. I probably will wait until Tuesday to test. I'll let you know if I change my mind.

Just out of curiosity, the pregnant ladies that check their cervix...what is the position of it? High? Low? Hard? Soft? Just curious.

Have a great rest of the weekend!
