November Fall Testers (107)... (22) BFPs! Here we are! Find your TTC/Buddy!

[Sholi]

hi ladies, this month again i have spotting a week before my period. If it was progesterone, it shouldn't have happened last month as I was still on progesterone pills. I have brown and red blood when i go to the toilet. I'm so confused and upset. Tomorrow I'll pop into the gynae and tell her it's happened again and hopefully the cd21 blood results are available. Last time she told me to do a pregnancy test and that was it. I'm not meant to see her till end of January, but I don't think it's fair that we should wait till then. I'm going to speak to her tomorrow and ask that something be done about this situation.

I just read a book this weekend called 'Fast Track your Fertility' or something like that and the biggest thing i got from it all was that what's the point in the doctor suggesting waiting three more months if we clearly haven't conceived in a year. Just get on with it, give me the treatment and let's get things moving!!!

I am 95 percent sure it won't be my month, but I will test on the 2nd of november 5 percent ain't bad

Sholi, I hope you get some answers soon and I agree you shouldn't have to wait more time after waiting a year. That's the boat I am in too and it makes no sense. It also makes me think you might live in Canada.

 

[luna_19]

Sholi I agree you shouldn't have to wait. I'm not sure where you are located but I'm in Canada and my Dr is more than willing to help and we're at the 10 month mark. I'd say if your Dr wants you to wait you should get a second opinion if you can

 

[AZBabyDust]

4 DPO and dying to know already LOLOL!!

Will be testing for sure Nov. 7th! Hoping for my BFP this month!

My Ovulation Chart

What do you guys think?! Also, could use a TTC/TWW buddy!! Feeling alone here

 

[Sholi]

It's quite funny that two of you think i live in canada!!!! I live in gibraltar, check it out.

Last month when i spotted, after i told her the test was negative, nothing else was done or asked. So is that it? I,ve never spotted like that in my life but you don't seem to think it should be looked at? I know she's on annual leavebut there are others and i'm going to speak to one today.

See you later ladies, have a nice day xxx

Hi ladies, I should be ovulating towards the end of this week and AF is due on the 18th of November so that's when I'll be testing.

This is our third proper cycle of trying, we stopped preventing a couple of months earlier but looking back didn't manage to BD at the right times to count it as trying. I'm generally staying sane so far but not convinced that will last forever! I don't use OPKs or track temperatures and I'm trying to not test early because it just gives me horrid heart ache!

Last month was hard, I had a few symptoms that I hadn't had before but it turned out to be AF 4 days early, I hadn't even got to the POAS stage and there was a part of me that felt cheated! It was the first time that I felt properly upset when AF arrived, and I'm hoping to avoid that feeling again!

Currently have a nasty cold and hoping that doesn't have any impact on my chances this month!

Fingers crossed for everyone this month!

 

[MrsGruffalo]

I'm away on a residential school trip when AF is due... so I'll be testing when I'm home on 12th

 

[echo]

I would def get a 2nd opinion, Sholi.

Good luck MrsGruffalo and startingtotry!

afm...I wish I didn't have to wait until tomorrow to see if I have ovulated. Temp went up today, hopefully it continues up tomorrow and I get crosshairs on Halloween. Lots of left side pinches, and kind of a dull ache in pelvis, and breasts are on the sensitive side, so I do think I o'd! I would love to tonight for good measure, but I might get stuck staying at work overnight due to the hurricane.

FEZZIE- you O'd!!! Whats with the blue CH's? Is that a manual override?
STARTING/MRS- Good luck
SHOLI- I live in Canada and went to Gibralter in August while I was in Spain. One of the most incredible places I've ever been. BEST fish and chips! The apes, a wee bit scary though

 

[Fezzie]

Yes, I had to manually over-ride as when I put in my 3rd high temp the crosshairs moved to CD 13, which was odd. I had my first +OPK on that day but I think its cause my FMU was too concentrated. I'm sure that I now have the right day. Do you agree?

 

[lorojovanos]

I agree where they are now, for sure. Take out the +opk from when you think it was too concentrated, and I bet itll move your CH's closer to where it is now...

 

[hopeforbfp]

Looks good to me too Fezzie. Sometimes I don't like entering my positive OPKS because I want to see what FF will do with just my temps.

Yeah it sucked what happened to DH but I'm sure it's not normally like that. What is your DH scared of Margo? The amount he might produce or the results? I don't know when I will O. It was cd14 last month but that was a first. Usually it's cd18-20 or something like that I think. That's why I think it's the progesterone that is responsible for such a drastic change. My OPKS have decent lines so hopefully I'm getting close.

I didn't know drinking raised BBT (I think I'm crossing threads here). I was hoping to enjoy some wine on my fall break here but I don't want to miss seeing my ovulation.

 

[Platinumvague]

Well I made my appointment today to see the OB about my issue but I can't get in until the 12th.Some times I really hate living in a small town.One OB office and the hospital here is terrible! Anyways still no positive OPK.Hope everyone is having better luck than me!

 

[Platinumvague]

Oh nvm! Just got a call back and I can come in Wednesday! I'm kinda afraid of what she will say

Good luck! Answers seem to require a million tests and several months, but in the end I hope you find the right plan for you!

 

[pjstensgaard]

I have been so crampy for 2 days now. Ms. Monthly is due Sunday, but doc told me to wait til Tues. to test. (Yes right!) But usually i get one day cramps...and only for about an hour...soooo who knows?

You did cross threads. If I have a glass of wine or two, it doesnt do much to my bbt at all. I'm talking, I drank, a lot. I never, ever drink but it had been so long since we had gone out as a couple, with all of our friends, and I wasnt in the TWW and this IS going to be the cycle I get pregnant; so I gave it a go I dont recall having a few drinks doing anything significant to my chart

i can't believe you were here!!!! i would have met up with you, I'm so gutted. It's weird isn't it, but it's so unique, i couldn't live anywhere else.

The gynae i wanted to speak to today, didn't come in to work, so I will try tomorrow. The progesterone results are available, so I will speak to him tomorrow and explain that I am not entirely happy with my current gynae and see what he says. I think it's weird that after trying for a year, the consultant didn't give me any treatment apart from the hsg and no follow up appt after the hsg. She knows i was given chlmoid and progesterone by the private gynae but didn't tell me to continue with it until i see her in January. Am we really supposed to just carry on trying until then, when we've already done that for a year with no results. What's the point of being referred to the consultant if it's going to be no different? So they only help you if you have a visible problem like pcos but just leave you hanging if you have unexplained infertility? I just don't get it.

 

[luna_19]

I'm the same, my temp is only affected if I drink enough to have a bit of a hangover

Sholi have you asked for a referral to a specialist?

 

[lorojovanos]

I'd def get a referral to someone else. Our gyno wasnt too keen on doing anything until the 2 years mark. We switched and its much better now...
I was in Spain for 16 days and the one day I spent in Gibralter was by far the best day I had. As I said, the fish and chips were crazy good, the glass making place, I bought some jewlery there. I love that there are vending machines of sex toys right by the border crossing, the air strip is CRAZY! Had I known thats where you lived, I'd have met with you for sure... I will be going back
LUNA- Another week or so before O?
