Long Irregular Cycles 'r' Us

[Lucy Lu]

Thanks Erised - hope I didn't sound ungrateful - I know I have been very lucky with this cycle whatever outcome.

I think maybe I am trying to expect the worst so I am not disappointed! If I'm honest with myself though, I'm gonna be totally devastated if it doesn't happen this month - I know it is v impatient but I am still being very naive and can't quite believe that you would not conceive after having sex 6 times in the 5 day fertile window (with pre-seed on 3 of those!), but then the stats say that is totally possible - with only like a 20% chance of a bfp each cycle hey?!

Bit p*ssed off this morning - my cervix had lowered last night and felt like it was starting to open - that cannot be a good sign. It's still very firm though and always felt slightly open to me even after ov had gone this month. Temp is still high this morning as well so I am still holding out hope.

I think Littlestar used to temp didn't she? - but stopped the last couple of months???

 

[BizyBee]

Well, I caved and tested this morning. So far it's a but I'm hoping it will change tomorrow! It's not over until gets me...

 

[Erised]

Yup, littlestar stopped temping on medical advice and is waiting to start Clomid.

I finally got my gynae appointment through this morning! It's for the 10th of March, so a month wait for me still. But hey ho, it's finally going somewhere!
My vitamins and stuff arrived today as well, so I'll start taking some of them (the B Complex and top up Pregnancy Vits).

Any of you tested today, or still holding out a little longer?

 

[Chris77]

Well the found me.

I'm going for CD 3 bloods on Friday.

 

[Erised]

Pah that witch.
Good luck with your tests on Friday =) Assuming she'll do CD3 tests and CD21 tests this cycle? Hope she'll find whatever she's looking for, and will be able to help you out so you'll get your BFP faster.

 

[Chris77]

Yes, she'll do the tests this cycle. When I went for my PAP 2 weeks ago, she told me to come in on CD 3 if no

 

[littlestar]

Yup, littlestar stopped temping on medical advice and is waiting to start Clomid.

Or anything they throw my way!

my cycles seemed to behave better without the temping dr was thinking along the lines of my anxiety/stress affecting my cycles.

Though this time round i'm CD44 and still no and that doesn't help anxiety when i'm getting and no confirmation of ovulating! i'm pulling my hair out as i write.

i'm sat in a boring hotel room (thankfully i have 'tinterweb this time) and quizzing as to why i've gone the other way. i'm temped to see if the DR will consider referring me now rather than next month considering last visit was december!!!!

 

[BizyBee]

Ugh, it's awful sitting around and waiting for bfp or AF. I think I ovulated 2 weeks ago so I am starting to test (bfn so far) but I could be way off the mark since my cycles vary so much.

 

[littlestar]

totally, i am walking round in the dark at the moment as i don't know if/when i ovulated or how long my cycle is! should i be using hpt's or opk's!

 

[drakey]

well witch came today! cd42! getting shorter girlies... think it was an annovulatory cycle tho xx

 

[BizyBee]

Sorry Drakey that got you. It's definitely a good sign that your cycles are shorter.

I tested again last night and this morning (this is what happens when I get cheap tests, I freak out!) and still . We'll see what tomorrow brings...

 

[drakey]

Thanks BizyBee, hope you get your soon! good luck for tomorrow xx

 

[Lucy Lu]

Don't worry Drakey. I think I had an annovulatory cycle too last month - see my chart (from beginning of Dec) - and was totally miserable, but this month, I got +opks and the temps look pretty sensible, so my body seems to have woken up for this cycle at least! Crossing my fingers and toes for you for next month!

Bizy Bee - you're not out until the witch comes! Haven't some ladies on here waited until DPO 18 for a positive, esp. with internet cheapies? Maybe test with one of those early tests in a couple of days and then you will know for sure. xxx

 

[BizyBee]

Tonight was still a . It's hard to resist testing when you have a lot of cheap ones sitting around. I'm probably going to test with a First Response on Valentine's Day!

 

[drakey]

well i thought witch was coming, i had red clotting last night, not enough for a pad, just when i wiped. now i got brown this morning? whats going on? lol xx

 

[BizyBee]

Still for me. No sign of AF. I have had a headache for a few days, body aches, and I am exhausted. Unfortunately, I have a few sick students so I am attributing these symptoms to that. Hope tomorrow brings better news!

Drakey, I'm not sure when you went off of the pill but I had a few strange periods after. They were much lighter and shorter than I was used to. I also spotted for 3 weeks! Maybe your body is still adjusting. Or if you're really lucky, it was implantation bleeding (although it typically wouldn't be red clotting, it would be pink or brown). Good luck!

 

[drakey]

Thanks BizyBee. yeah Nov 12th i came off it so it probably is my body adjusting still. had more red clots earlier so looks like it is witch but just really light. hope my body sorts its self out soon! and good luck to you! its not over until the witch comes flying in! xx

 

[littlestar]

Hugs to all you ladies!

i've had another upwards turn on this TTC roller-coaster!

I've got my referral!!!

i went to the docs today, told her it's my year, on my 6 cycle blah blah blah!

and she's writing to the hospital to get my referral!!! i don't know how long it will take for the latter or appointment to come through but this is the best news i've had in ages. and to top it all off i have EWCM today!!

CD46 and not out of the game yet!!

 

[drakey]

yay littlestar! glad things are starting to get sorted for u.... witch is deffo here for me now. dont u just hate that gushing feeling?? urghh gross lol xx

 

[Erised]

oohhh! That's brilliant news hon =D
Lets hope you'll get your positive OPK in the next couple of days and actually ovulate.
At worst, you'll get all your tests and help you want. And a BFP in the next couple of months!

Non of us ladies will be leaving the year behind us without holding a little on on New Years Eve.
