October 2017 testers - Having an Oktoberfest - 9 BFPs and counting

[Tove]

Fx AF stays away mdscpa!

 

[mdscpa]

Thanks Tove. I hope she really does or Ovulation comes.

I love how your temps look like. FX it stays 98-ish till you get your

Added you all, welcome and good luck!

Little miller, I can't even imagine how frustrating it must be to be 1 year into TTC. I totally get the feeling of disappointment when seeing a bfn even though you logically know it's too early. That's why you shouldn't test so early!

Hope you get your BFP this cycle! If not, are you planning on seeking medical help soon?

Thank you for adding me. It’s nice to be a part of a community where I can talk about this stuff with someone besides my husband. And yes - I know I shouldn’t be testing this early. I always make self anxious though and can’t think of anything else.

Thanks for the kind wishes! If this cycle doesn’t work we are planning on seeing a specialist in the next one!

Moving from September thread as im still waiting for AF or possibly ovulation.... Really stuck in limbo this will be the longest cycle i have in all my life if FF isn't wrong in detecting my O. Just gonna enjoy .

I'll POAS on Oct 3 (DH's bday) if AF never comes, she should be arriving today but without O detected i don't know. I won't be testing today due to a temp drop which could mean the is coming if i really O'ed this cycle.


Symptoms:

1. No bruises days leading to
2. feel normal usually they're full and sensitive days before
3. Weirdest cycle (annovulatory????) No thermal shift
4. Gassy
5. Lower back pain (tailbone)

Forgìve me for symptom spotting.

Hope AF stays away

Do you have a pic of your chart for us all to scrutinise?

 

[Pixie2982]

I'm finding it really hard to leave these threads alone lol

WELP, Stark white BFN at 11DPO for me I was extra hopeful this month because we timed everything so perfectly and I’ve had so many promising symptoms TTC can be such a cruel joke on your mind-body connection. I feel like I don’t even know myself anymore! Super sad today.

I’m sorry for the negative corgi. As you know you’re not out til AF shows. You can still get your positive!

Mdscpa

I do understand how your feeling right now

I have enclosed a few of my longer cycles and pretty sure they looked like yours at one point until FF pinpointed OV then it got bigger so the temps don't look so out of place

I think my longest ever cycle was 56 days and my shortest being 24 days
But I do have a lot of cycles to compare with

With your current chart I think it could be a few things could be causing it to be all over the place
1, new stress or routine changes can cause late ovulation and an odd cycle (I found this with mine anyway)
2, you could have possibly ovulated already but temps have not picked it up due to a number of reasons why temps would be messed up
3, your body may have geared up to ovulate but didn't for some reason and your body delayed it (it does happen)

Do you use ovulation sticks too?

 

[BelleNuit]

Hey mds, that cycle does look anovulatory to me so far. It is possible to O really late on an anovulatory cycle though! If it goes on way to long some women will get AF induced with provera to start fresh. I hope things straighten out for you soon!

AFM I'm probably 8 dpo today (possibly 7 though). Having some acne break out on my right cheek. I often get acne before AF so I think I'm probably out. I might start spotting as early as Tuesday and then I'll know for sure!

 

[mdscpa]

Thanks Pixie. It's just hard when it's the first time you see a no thermal shift and let FF takeaway your CH. I just have to let DH know that we need to be busy until i see a thermal shift. I bet he'll love it.

On my longest cycle 56 days, it was more of a relief to have AF come because I only had dotted cross hairs, so wasn't sure I'd even ovulated lol

Never heard of provera, is it prescription only ?

And don't worry about acne showing up as that also a pregnancy symptom too
So too early to count yourself out just yet

 

[BelleNuit]

Ya Pixie, provera is prescription only. I know women with pcos who have super long anovulatory cycles will take it to start over. Sometimes women with pcos who are in treatment and are taking clomid/femara, if they don't O by a certain date their docs will just prescribe them provera so that they can get a quicker start on the next cycle at a higher dose of clomid.

Thanks for the kind thoughts regarding it being too early. I know it is for sure. I'm just trying to prepare myself for whats most likely to come! I think we have like a 3% chance of pregnancy each cycle. So not no chance, just low chance. If I could do IVF tomorrow I would LOL

 

[mdscpa]

I havent used sticks this time before and especially the month i got pregnant we used tons and tons of sticks. 3 times a day. 1 in the morning and 2 (1 line 1 digi) in the evening. We really did our homework. But this time we agreed to just track my cycle and temps to see if we can do it without meds or opks only for 2 or 3 cycles. If not, we are going to order fertilaid and use sticks just like the last time. I have PCOS and having a long cycle or no period for 2 mos is normal for me but that changed when i gave birth to our first where i get a monthly period. Maybe she'll show up tomorrow.

Belle, yeah it does look annovulatory. Dont want to stress myself about it as it is normal to have such cycle per year. ( I just read it from somewhere ) I do hope i will O soon or like Pixie said maybe something is affecting my temps which im not aware as of yet

Hey I had less the 10% chance too(using donor has a 10% chance)
My donor had low morphology too so even lower
Think positive belle !

 

[Pixie2982]

Mds, I was convinced I had pcos but docs refused to do any tests as I only had irregular periods even after many years of my begging

 

[thencomesbebe]

Welp, AF definitely, definitely came. I'm out this month, but no worries, I figured as much! So I will not be testing tomorrow after all, gonna save those testers until next month!!! Here's to doing the BD with DH, no complaints here! haha See you all in October, I will be sticking around to see all your amazing updates! Baby dust for everyone!!!

 

[Bloblo]

Hi all, i was away for a week and just trying to catch up. Did not temp, but started again today. Will also start opk's tomorrow, thinking im probably ovulating on Wednesday or Thursday. Time to get busy

 

[Mom15]

Tested this morning but as expected it was bfn. Only 8dpo and already spotting. Will test again tomorrow and will report back
