Luteal Phase Defect

[Spockette]

Hi guys

Stacer, can't believe it's come round so quickly. What's going to happen at this appointment? Is it the lap or just another chat?

Shells, good to hear the temps are behaving themselves.

I'm not sure where I am in my cycle. I had EWCM yesterday, not much today. No aches, no pains. Nada..... I am going to see a clinic for a seminar on the 23rd. It's a kind of open day to visit the clinic and ask questions. We're definitely going private but just trying to decide on which clinic to go to.

Xx

Glad to hear you ladies are still hanging in there! Hoping something happens soon for us all though! And yes short cycles are an advantage and a disadvantage! I'm on cd 21 so I'll probably be getting Af soon. Haven't really bded much this month, just didn't work out but that's alright. My appt is probably going to be to schedule the lap but to also review everything else! Looking forward to it though because I feel like I'm in a standstill!

Hoping your temps stay high shells!
Spock-bd anyway! Hehe! Good luck at the clinic hope you get lots of information! It's sl much better than to be left in the dark!

Hey girls

My temps are so neat and tidy for the first time ever lol I'm trying not to read too much into them... but you know how it is lol

I've always had the 'same' pattern every cycle.... dips and rises all over the place... been back to check charts and i've never had such consistant high temps without a significant dip by 5dpo... i've also had no spotting which is also unusual.

I had an 8 day Af this cycle and i'm wondering if i've had some kind of 'clear out' and reset

 

[stacergirl]

Shellz-I won't get too excited just yet because I know how it is to get your hopes up but I'll definitely be sending Lots of positive vibes your way because your chart does look great!! I guess we will know in just a few days!! Hang in there during the dreadful 2ww!!!

 

[xxshellsxx]

I don't get 'excited' anymore lol i just get hopeful when something different happens lol If AF come she comes, I expect her every month and if she doesn't come then I will start to get excited x

 

[Spockette]

Stacer, I'm trying to get jiggy with hubby but he has a very demanding job which means he's working late. He has to come home, wake me up, have in a sleepy state and go back to bed. The things we do to get a baby eh?

Shells, the chart is looking good. I personally think 'hope' is a wonderful thing and keeps us sane. What is it that they say? Prepare for the worst but hope for the best!!

I'll have my fingers crossed for you guys. Xxxx.

 

[stacergirl]

I have hope for you shellz! Chart is still looking good

Spock-sorry about the demanding job! That sure does make it hard! If it were me in that situation I'd probably choose sleep over waking up SMS bding! I love my sleep! Lol my dh goes away a lot so I can kinda relate on the demanding job though!

I can't wait for my appt on we'd. Need some news to keep me going because right now I'm not feeling much of anything just kinda in standstill. And of course my lower back is hurting (now I know it's my endo causing it) because Af will be here tomorrow. I just hope they can sched me for the lap right away but I'm thinking I might have to wait til April and if that's the case my dh might be gone during the fertile time! Ugh! But I'll know ob Wednesday so trying to be patient!! Lol

 

[Spockette]

Hi girls how are we all?

[Spockette]

Imm

Was wondering how you were getting on. From your symptoms are you sure you're not pregnant??

Xxx

 

[stacergirl]

Hi Imm, sorry your cycle is so messed up. Hopefully its for good reasons though ;-)

Shells=based on last month, looks like were getting close to when AF came, and your temps still look good. Hoping they stay high tomorrow as well and AF stays away!!!!

Spock- thanks for asking!! Are you ready for an ear/eye ful??
well I had my appointment today in which I thought we would determine I definitely needed a lap and would go ahead and schedule it, bbbbuuutt, that wasn't the case. I did find out that DH's SA was great and that I don't have PCOS, but....I apparently have LOW, like very LOW AMH (ovarian reserve) which isn't good. By next year I could be out of eggs totally. The Doctor says if I were his daughter he would suggest I skip the lap and jump straight to IVF, but if I want to have more than 1 child, I need to freeze my eggs....so, without much choice, thats the plan. Luckily today was the scheduled date for the mandatory educational IVF seminar (which only falls on the 2nd wednesday of every month), and we were able to go to that and get lots of information. But there I was with dh sitting in a room full of other potential ivf couples thinking to myself that i only found out an hour prior that IVF was our only option. I never thought I would be in that room. I'm 30, bmi of 24, healthy with no issues except endometriosis. The news was quite shocking and unexpected. But never the less, we are moving forward.
The next plans are for me to call On CD 1 (which will probably be tomorrow) and schedule the remaining tests (which aren't that many) that have to be done before the final IVF appointment (this office has the process down pat which is good). After the tests, they will probably put me on Birth control to bring me to a base line, and then I will begin meds, ultrasounds, trigger injections, then the egg retrieval, incubation, freezing and egg placement. The entire process sounds intense, with so much involved, but hopefully its worth it. Its going to be very expensive. The doc says it should be successful within the first 3 iVFs...but i'm hoping the first one obviously.
So I feel like so much happened in the last 5 hours, it felt like i was in fast forward mode...there's still so much to take in, but he says there isn't much time. So i'm trying to stay positive...at least things are moving quickly.

And unfortunately I was unable to get any information of LPD for you ladies, sorry about that, but i'm sure you understand I was a bit tied up. ;-/

 

[lmm100]

I really don't think i am have no real symptoms and my cm hasn't changed im to scared to test i don't even no when i o'd im going to see what happens may test tomorrow if no af i just don't understand what's going on I've got really bad stomach ache not like af cramps had it for 2 days suppose time will tell.

 

[Spockette]

Stacer ....

I can't believe what you had to go through at your appointment. I am so sorry you have low ovarian reserve. Can't have been very nice to be told that IVF was your only choice BUT now at least you know what issue you have and you can focus all your time and energy on IVF. So many women go through this and come out with a baby in the end. There is a great website that can give you more in depth info on Fertility, IVF, etc. The forum is fab.....

https://www.fertilityfriends.co.uk/

So many ladies are going through what you're going through so it may provide you with loads of info. Of course, I'm always here too .

Imm, some ladies don't have symptoms. Give it a few days and then maybe Good luck xxxx

 

[stacergirl]

Thanks Spock! I'm sure I'll be ok once everything sets in and appts get scheduled. I'm just hoping I produce enough eggs for egg retrieval. I'm on co q-10 and dhea to help increase the chances before they start the meds. I'll definitely check out that site. Thanks do much! I guess it could always be worse!!

Imm-keep us posted. Fingers crossed!!

Shellz-did Af come? Took a look at your chart but couldn't tell.

 

[xxshellsxx]

stacergirl - So sorry you didn't get the news you were hoping for, but how great that things can happen so fast with the IVF! thats brilliant

lmm - poas girl! lol Fx for you x

Sprockette - how you doing? x

Af hasn't arrived yet and should be here by now - but maybe the vit B is doing some good this cycle and extending it a little I had pink cm yesterday and was expecting her arrival today at some point... but today just brown cm I have poas today when she hadn't arrived by lunch time... i did get a shadow, but it could easily be an evap as the bet pic i could get of it was dry at 20 mins, and it still needs tweaking to see it via the camera.

I'll keep you posted x

 

[stacergirl]

Thanks shells! And omg!!! Praying it wasn't an evap line!! Keep us posted!! Eek!!!

I'm actually on cd 29 today but positive ill get Af any minute now, so I think the b6 did work this cycle as well! So that's good news!

 

[xxshellsxx]

WOW cd29?? what does that feel like? lol x Have you poas?? xx

I'm on permanent 'knicker watch' lol x

 

[Spockette]

Shells, how exciting hon Keep us posted please. Have everything crossed. The pinky CM and browny stuff is a very good sign.
I'm doing ok thanks. Just waiting for AF to arrive

Stacer, really glad to hear the B6 is working their magic Keep us posted on all the other events that follow for you....

Imm, did you test hon?

 

[stacergirl]

Sorry ladies mistyped, yesterday was cd 28, Af came this morning, which wasn't too much of a shocker. But yes it felt weird, that's the longest cycle I've ever had, the longest before that was 27 days!

Shells your chart still looks good.

Spock hope you're doing good. I'll be calling today for the next steps and will keep you posted!!

 

[lmm100]

I've still not tested really not brave enough still no af i just keep thinking she will show soon think im going to leave it another few days see what happens.
