It is disappointing to see a drop but you're not out yet. Keep positive (says me, miss negativity lol)

 

[seabean]

Thanks for your kind words everyone. AF definitely hit full force yesterday AM, and I knew it was coming since my temp has plummeted. I'm a little upset, but I think hubby is even more so. We both thought once I actually started ovulating it wouldn't be too much longer, so he think it's all him now We haven't done a SA, but it's only been 2 cycles of actually trying, so I said we would get him tested once we reach 6.

Newmrs - sorry your spotting is back, I thought this would totally have done the trick for you. Call your Dr and see if you can double the dose - I usually did 10mg when I took progesterone, and you said you are only doing 5?? I can't remember, sorry. Are you taking it at the same time every day?

Raven - I think your chart looks great and that little temp dip is way too early to be AF anyway, so no worries!

Lil - keep checking in with us, we love the updates! Glad you arent sick on one end , but sorry about the other end

Bethany!

Sorry AF got you Seabean I wish you lots of luck for this cycle though, I'm sure you'll have your BFP in no time at all

The spotting has gone again so not sure what's happening. I'm taking 5mg three times a day for ten days. I've not been taking them at the exact same time every day so maybe that's where I'm going wrong. I'll be sure to keep taking them and I'll make more of an effort to take them at the same time every day. I've got a killer sore head today and also noticed more cm. I'm also getting a fairly dark line on OPK's but I guess this is all because of the tablets.

Im still checking in girls.... but dont want to seem insensitive by posting about my pregnancy as i know how hard it is when your ttc

Im cheering you all on to get your bfp

It sounds like your dose is high then if it's 3x a day. I think taking them at the same time might be pretty important so that there is a "constant" level of progesterone. It's tough 3x a day though and if there are side-effects like your headache I am almost positive it wouldn't affect OPKs though, because it is a progesterone rather than the LH hormone that OPKs detect. I actually ovulated on progesterone the last time that I took and that's kind of what I think set me normal again - so maybe it's working in that way for you too! Good luck!

MrsC - I know I can't speak for others, but I actually really enjoy the baby updates!

 

[NewMrs2011]

Oh I hope so! I've certainly never had an opk that dark before so it'll be interesting to see what happens next. I wish I had more patience, I just want everything to happen NOW!

 

[NewMrs2011]

MrsC - I know I can't speak for others, but I actually really enjoy the baby updates!

Ditto! It's lovely to read about positive outcomes and it certainly gives me some hope that maybe it'll happen to me too one day

 

[rmsh1]

I'm still stalking too

 

[bnporter81]

I agree...we've all been there for each other for so long now and it's great when one of us gets the long awaited BFP. I'm glad to know how everyone is doing in their pregnancies and it's good at helping to keep up the faith for those of us who have yet to get there

 

[Diddums]

I love hearing about your pregancy updates. I find it comforting and gives me hope it will happen to me

I'm just chilling at the moment. I don't think I will ovulate this cycle as my body isn't ready to. I've accepted that and I'm only temping when I can be bothered so I'm pretty relaxed at the moment. Just concentrating on losing the weight I need to so I can get clomid in just over 4months. I think knowing I don't have I wait too long is keeping me optimistic.

Thanks for all you kind words and encouragement with the weight loss. I'm already a 1/3 of the way there in just a month and a half I'm so happy with myself. As this time I'm losing the weight with healthy eating and exercise rather than a crash diet. For my self some über bright bike lights so we can continue cycling in the evenings during winter providing its not raining, snowy or icy. If it is I will be investing in an exercise bike and probably concentrate in some abs work to tone my tummy. Any idea whats best?

Dee very sorry AF got you! Now that youre ovulating 2 cycles isn't long. Give it another couple and I reckon you will get that bfp

MrsNew I hope the spotting stops and you get a proper cycle.

Beth sorry you have to keep waiting. I can understand how you feel. Hang in there. Have you booked an appointment?

Love and hugs to all you ladies xxxx

 

[NewMrs2011]

Diddums your weight loss is amazing! That alone is bound to be a great help for you ttc and 4 months will be here before you know it

My temp has risen again and the spotting has stopped! I'm wondering if it's possible that my temp dipped due to ovulation? Not sure if that would happen though.

Have a great day everyone

 

[raventtc]

I agree I would love to hear all the preggo things...cause we helped each other so much thru this ttc and hearing from all you preggo ladies gives us more hope, so don't leave us..lol and keep posting no matter what the content ( i say)

diddums - your lifestyle change is soo awesome, and good to hear your thinking ahead too since the weather will change and make biking outside harder!! way too go

newmrs - a temp dip and rise is a okay to see i often have dips and if you look at the charts on ff you will see you are not alone

afm- nothing new besides my temp jump this am, i had a strange dream that i took a shower and when i got out my hair was a strange cut and only the ends were blonde everything else was brown like normal...and i went out to find hair dye but couldn't find any and then i talked to someone and they said oh yeah we r cleaning the water systems with bleach didn't you get the message...?? i woke up and went to check my hair

How is everyone else doing and were is everyone in there cycle??

i always get a headache when i o...so maybe that is your sign too? could be a side effect too...fingers crossed for ya

 

[mrsc81]

Well ive booked a private sexing scan which is on 9th october, 3 weeks today, cant wait to find out if im or . i just keep feeling im having a boy.

 

[seabean]

NewMrs - the progesterone will give you a temp rise, so it will probably look like you O'd while you are taking it. Just wanted to let you know just in case, so you don't get your hopes up too high just by seeing a temp rise Although it's entirely possible, so you just never know!

Katya - your lifestyle change is clearly working. Congrats on being so committed!! It must feel amazing! And it's great you have this next Dr appointment in 4 months to motivate you too.

Mrsc - can't wait to hear what the gender is! How much are private scans for you?

I'm waiting for AF to exit the building. I'm not sure which TWW is harder - waiting to see whether or not I O or AF?!

 

[raventtc]

mrs- wow thats awesome can't wait to hear what your little bean is

seabean - i feel the exact same way..it feels like af and waiting to o is worse sometimes but then as soon as you see some good temps it def makes that part feel like forever too

Question-
has anyone tried drinking water with cucumbers and lemon in it?

I made some sunday and let it sit over night and drank some yesterday...so yummy!! now i want to get some oranges or some other type of fruit and try it too..makes drinking water soo much better (and i love to drink water)

 

[seabean]

Raven - at first I thought you meant cucumber water as some sort of fertility aid I was gonna say I hadn't heard of that one! you mean just for enjoyment, right? I love lemon water, but haven't tried other things! sounds tasty though, I will have to give it a go!

 

[mrsc81]

Sexing scan is £45 early scan i had was £50

 

[cmwilson]

Katya - Your weight loss is inspiring! I have no doubt that your body will respond to the weight loss. Who knows, maybe you'll get pregnant and won't need the Clomid! As far as ab workouts, when my hubby lost the 100 pounds he just did (and continues to do) sit ups for an ab workout.

NewMrs - I'm so glad that the spotting has stopped again! Now it needs to stay away for good!!

Raven - You know in my last two week wait I had strange dreams...maybe that's a good sign. I haven't tried the cucumber water but it sounds refreshing!!

Louise - Ooo the gender scan! How exciting! Can't wait to hear what you are having!

Dee - I hope AF leaves the building soon! Get out of here witch!

Rachel - How are you feeling? What's new with you?

Nothing new here. Still dealing with off and on nausea but haven't thrown up yet. I know it's weird to say but I almost wish I was getting sick because then I'd feel more pregnant. I don't know, I'm just being weird I guess. I'm looking forward to my scan next Wednesday, I think I'll feel better if I can see the little one and a heart beat.
