Long Cycles TTC #1 & Need a buddy!

[Sunkissed]

I tested again today BFN grrr. My chart looks good but who knows

 

[fallenangel78]

Blondie, your chart looks fantastic! Those temps just keep going up! Could be a pretty good month for people on this thread from the looks of it

I'm confused, I thought my temp dip the other day was ov but I got another high (not peak) on my this morning about about 95%+ opk's today???? I've got a doc appointment tomorrow and I don't know what to expect. She basically told me (these are her words) that she'd have "a look down there" before referring me on to a fertility specialist. What can she tell from having a rummage around? Also, it's prime bd'ing time if the opks are right but should we not get up to anything if she's going to be poking around?

 

[Sunkissed]

TK2 It could be the day after the dip that you Od. This happened to me last cycle.

Blondie. You have the VIP ff right? Just curious what's your score for the pregnancy signs estimator?

Hi, after a rather harrowing week of spotting, it turns out that I am now having a miscarriage I'm basically devastated. I would not wish this on anyone, but we do want a baby so badly & I know we will be ttc as soon as I'm able to. I imagine I will be back here sooner or later and who knows what my cycles will look like after this. Thanks for your support, long cycle girls...

 

[fallenangel78]

I'm so, so sorry ready4baby. I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through but wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you.

Take care and keep strong x

 

[Sunkissed]

I'm so sorry readyforbaby I wish the best for you. I hope you are ok.

 

[Blondie87]

I am so sorry ready4baby. If you ever need to talk, I'm always here...

Sunkissed- My pregnancy spotting points were 8, but hadn't entered any cervical positions, cm, or signs. I just did and now it's at 40 pts. I hate that thing though. Last cycle it was at 82 points right before AF came cuz I was nauseous and everything.. Obviously I was not preggo. So I tend to ignore it. Last cycle I got like every pregnancy symptom in the book before AF came, so I now can't trust my body. Whatever I feel *could* be an AF sign, or cuz I am super tired cuz of Bella. So I'll just have to wait til this Saturday to know for sure!

Now I'm gonna continue my nap with Bella, a friend came over and woke us up...

Ready4Baby, I'm so, so sorry. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

 

[katiekittykat]

So sorry ready4baby

 

[fallenangel78]

Totally confused now... Got a peak on my cbfm this morning and a +opk on smu that went dark immediately and is even darker than my control line. Shall I just take the temp dip as a glitch?

Went to the doc's this morning. Have got to go back Friday to pick up a letter to let me make an appointment at the specialist. DH has an appointment tomorrow to test his swimmers. She said she couldn't see/feel anything wrong with me but did point out my cervix is slightly backwards lying - anyone know if that has any implications?

How's everyone doing? Any updates?

 

[Sunkissed]

fallenangel - not sure what the dip means - I had a lot of dips before I ovulated so maybe it's just one of those things...I would go by your OPKs and wait for FF to confirm O.

Good luck with the specialist - let us know how it goes!

 

[katiekittykat]

My temp dipped back down again today...so it looks like I didn't ovulate after all So, I'm calling this cycle a write-off, going back on the Agnus Castus tomorrow and waiting for AF. Tomorrow will be cd50....

 

[Sunkissed]

GL Katie. So sorry

 

[fallenangel78]

Katie, that's naff, sorry I thought it was going the right way for you.

I know with my 70+ day cycle I was tearing my hair out. The thing that kick started things for me was the acupuncture. Within 2 days of having my first session af arrived and my cycles started to drop down slowly. Might be worth a try?

 

[katiekittykat]

I'll give anything a try!

 

[fallenangel78]

I've not been for a few weeks because she's been away but it certainly seems to have done something. I think the soy has been working wonders too with the vit b complex but I know none of that is any use to you until this cycle is over.

Not sure how it worked but it was honestly within 2 days that something kicked in and made me come on. Since then each af has been really bright, fresh blood which I'm guessing is a good thing too.

There is/was a massive thread on acupuncture that I can try and dig out for you if you want?

 

[katiekittykat]

I took soy this cycle and I'm beginning to think that's the problem

Have just sent an email to a place down the road that does acupuncture, but would love to read the thread if you can track it down

 

[fallenangel78]

Ahh, right... What days/dosage did you do?

I think this should work https://www.babyandbump.com/ttc-groups/232366-really-useful-tcm-thread.html it's quite a long one but got lots of useful info in there

 

[Sunkissed]

I think I'm out. BFN and temp dipped. AF is due tomorrow so we will see

 

[katiekittykat]

FX for you sunkissed. I think I'm going to make a doctors appointment - temp went up 0.16 degrees this morning, but not enough to make me think anything is happening.

Think I'm almost definitely going to give acupuncture a go, but I'll let Western medicine have a shot first.
