great pictures ladies

I have tried concieve plus in the past and preseed too...i have some left might just try it (what the hell -- right) was thinking i wasn't going to temp this month but damn it my body just seems to wake up and I temp and then i lay there mad at myself for waking up and now i have to look and see what temp says....sooo crazy the things we do -- well there are so many other things we do that are crazier than that..but anyway you all understand what i was going for.

Raven, I am the same way with temping - it's a love/hate relationship at the moment

MrsC, your visit sounds like it was so fun! Maybe your little girl will turn out to be an Olympic gymnast?!

Have you pregnant ladies started buying stuff yet? Getting the nursery ready?

In other news, my tatas hurt bad

Hi all - I am so happy there is a thread about long cycles. Mine is ridiculously long to the point where they think there could be an issue. My last menstruating (sorry, I don't know all the lingo yet as I am new the forum) was 7/31-8/4... nothing since then. Been TTC since 10/4 (I know, barely any time) but they are doing proactive testing now. They put me on progesterone for 10 days.. I am on day 4. I should get a period after I am done taking it and then I guess I should hopefully be able to better track my ovulation?? Once I do get the period, I need to get blood work done on day 3 of the cycle so they can test me for PCOS. Then a week after that, going back in to discuss results as well as get an internal ultrasound. I am extremely stressed about the whole thing and it's definitely consuming my thoughts

You found the right place! Many of us on here have gone months without ovulating - which makes TTC a bit difficult and more stressful than it needs to be It sounds like your Dr is taking all the right steps though so far. Many of us on this board used progesterone (Provera, etc) to bring on a period (AF). When I first went to the Dr, they did cycle day 3 (CD3) tests also, which includes a bunch of hormones for PCOS, etc. Hopefully they identify what is slowing your body down and can treat it quickly from there! Good luck

Hopefully things will get moving quickly for you, they can figure out what is going on and get you back on track =)

Louise- I am happy to hear everything went well with your scan and you were able to confirm it is a girl

Bethany- I hope your appt goes well and your blood pressure is back down.

Katya- that would be amazing if your cycles got back on track and you o soon. I really hope it happens!

Mandy- any sign of af? I hope she stays away!

New mrs-I can't tell for sure if you actually o'ed or not but I hope you get your answer soon.

Caroline- I probably should get the flu shot as well I am worried about not getting it because I am going to be traveling three times during the 2nd tri and I really don't want the flu! I am making my dh get it as well

Dee- I hope those ta-tas keep hurting

Police wife- welcome to the thread! I hope you get answers as to why your cycles are long. We are all here for you!

Raven- whenever I wanted to take sometime off from temping I would wake up anyways too...I guess our bodies just get in that mode

 

[mandy1229100]

nothings changed so far, just gonna wait and see if she shows up in the next 2days, if not im going to test again on 18dpo

do you think its possible you might have actually ovulated on cd65? if that was the case, then those HPTs you took might have been too early. i think you still have a shot!

 

[mandy1229100]

Anything is possible lol. But I figure if I wait at least 2 more days testing will be safe

 

[NewMrs2011]

Well I got a temp drop this morning which is fine. But is it normal to have such a huge drop? Also how long after a drop does AF arrive normally?

 

[mandy1229100]

Im not sure exactly but from what I've read it should be the day of or the day after.

My temps went down a little more again today. Dpo 16. Im pretty sure im out.

 

[seabean]

Mandy - sorry AF got you

Newmrs - maybe you haven't ovulated yet? if not, then maybe keep BD'ing just in case! many of us have ovulated late in our cycle

How's everyone else doing? It's been quiet in here

 

[NewMrs2011]

Hi Seabean, how are you?

Yeah I'm wondering that too. I'm fed up. I'm too impatient for this. I spent months wishing the spotting would stop and now here I am wishing AF would arrive. I can't cope with this I feel as though times running out

Sorry for AF Mandy

 

[seabean]

Newmrs I totally know how you feel. It the worst when it feels like there isn't anything you can do and your body just isn't cooperating. But you won't go on like this forever, don't worry! Do you think going back to the Dr will help? Maybe try clomid? Sorry I can't remember, but have you had any sort of tests done? I think enjoying my time now without kids a big way that my hubby and I have been able to kinda deal with the impatience. Go out to dinner, drink, stay up late, go to a movie, drop everything and go away for the weekend, etc. All that will be a lot more difficult to do once you have kids! It makes the long wait more bearable, in my experience

As for me, I'm just cruising along in the TWW. It's easy not to symptom spot this early in the TWW, but in a week I'll probably be going a bit wacky over-analyzing everything.
There is a HUGE baby boom among my friends right now. Surprisingly it doesn't bother me that much, but I just don't know how some people have it so easy getting pregnant!

 

[mandy1229100]

I'm relieved that af is here, I would much rather have a bfp but im just glad that that cycle is over. 77 days of waiting. But hopefully this cycle will be more normal. I'm going to use opks, concieve plus and smep this time around. I am determined.

seabean- I will be watching your chart! I pray that you get your bfp!
Newmrs- I know how the waiting is and I really hope something happens for you very soon I will checking on you!

I'm back at the doctors mid December, I'm getting tested for my thyroid again as the last time it was slightly underactive and she thought that might have had something to do with the spotting so she wanted to re-do the tests in 3 months time. I had general bloods done towards the beginning of this year and everything else came back fine. tbh I don't think they'll do much until I lose weight, which I am doing but VERY slowly. I wonder if my weight loss will speed up if she puts me on medication for my thyroid.

Hope you get to be part of that baby boom very soon, and good on you for not letting it bother you too much I dont personally know many people that are pregnant just now but the there's a few folk I know who are but they're not particularly nice people, so it's making dislike them even more! (that makes me sound like a right b*tch but I'm not, honest )

I'll never understand how so many people get pregnant 'by accident' or following a one night stand or something, it just doesn't make sense given how short your fertile window is!

I do feel like something is happening with me, whether it's ovulation, AF or what, I don't know. But I've had really sore boobs yesterday and today and I've also been getting sharp stabbing pains around (where I think is) my ovary area.
