Please Help!

[kristen]

Oh i see, ive been looking on FF and trying to get to grips how to use it and stuff. I get up at different times for work each day, but i could set my alarm and go back to sleep?
am glad it was helpful for you, i hope it helps me achieve a BFP.
I know thats what a fertility specialist said but if youve conceived before then i think you will again as cliche as that may sound! it defo will happen for you hun i can understand you dont want another miss too!

ive looked at your chart and can see the temp shifts, that great thank you for suggesting!

I was planning to test 12dpo but that is 2 days before AF so think i may just wait until AF
when are you testing?

 

[MichelleW]

AF showed up for me, so I am on cycle day 7 at the min, so will start opk testing in 3 days, then once I ovulate I can re-start my TWW! My luteal phase is always 11 days, but last cycle it was 13 first time ever, thought it was a possible chemical! Even though my luteal phase is only 11days, i've only ever got a positive opk from 15dpo onwards, but everyone's different, have you done any tests so far? I am a poas junkie and normally start using them from about 9dpo lol keep saying everything month I wont but i give in everytime.

Fingers toes and everything else crossed for you hunni hope you get that BFP!

 

[kristen]

Oh am sorry hun
what is a leutal phase? that must be something i dont know about! lol...maybe something different for you last cycle and can calculate it from 11-13 days just incase?
no i have made myself not buy any tests! especially as the best time to test is 12dpo and im due on 14dpo so may as well wait the extra 2 days, as hard as it is! im also too scared incase i get a BFN.
i used to poas every month and from about 10dpo, it got so expensive it was so addictive! the last 2 or so months was trying not to try so hoping

is it just me or every time the 2WW comes i say im not pregnant so im not as disappointed when BFN comes??

Thanks so much hun xx

Luteal phase is the amount of days past ovulation you have before you get your period, you days pre ovulation can change every month and usually fluctuate by a few days every month but your post ovulation should be exactly the same every single month. If it is below 10 days it can be classed as a defect, mines is usually 11 and has been every single month except the months i have been pregnant which made me think i possibly had a chemical this month as for the first time ever it was 13 days.

I get so depressed when i see a BFN, and no matter what people say always feel like i'm the only one even though you there are successful and unsuccessful stories on here all the time.

 

[kristen]

Oh yeh i remember (duh me lol) mines always been 14 days exactly and hasnt changed, is that considered normal?
Oh i see, i can understand you thinking that if it was 13 days this time, i wonder why that was, maybe it does change from time to time?

Yeh i know what you mean, its really disheartening every single time isnt it, thats why iv refused to test this time, i didnt think i was pregnant past 2 cycles but now im convinced i am, just waiting for these next 4 days to hurry up! sometimes i get upset when i see other peopls BFP even though im happy for them just wish it was my time

 

[MichelleW]

Yeah 14 is a good luteal phase length, if mines has lengthened to 13 means its good now and not just above the defect level, so fingers crossed it has got better

I really hope you get your bfp and you need to keep me updated. I have been feeling really positive since af as if I know its going to happen to me so hopefully my positivity will pay off.

Yeah its hard seeing others get their BFP its like conflicted emotions cause you are very happy for them at the same time feeling sorry for yourself.

Our day will definitely come I know it will xxx

 

[kristen]

oh yay thats good then yeh i hope it has lengthend for you making your chances better!
yeh stay positive you will definately get there in the end!

i have had heart burn today like in the back of my throat and a bit of achey ness on my body iv had and upset stomach today and constipation :s weird! iv got a pain in my left boob but i dont know if its anything to do with this.
god all these symptoms and im not pregnant i must be a nutcase!

yes i defo will do hun xxx

 

[MichelleW]

All those symptoms are good! hear so many people on here who get their bfp with those symptoms, my problem is each time i have been pregnant ive had all the same symptoms as af, but my af comes with all those symptoms lol the only difference was the 12 week one, my bbs were that sore that anything even lightly brushing against them was horrendous!

Dont give up hope yet hum, you just never know and if you dont usually get these symptoms with af then it could be very promising xxx

 

[kristen]

Yeh thats true, but now im thinking it was probs just that i was eating a bit less and wasnt sleeping properly for this reason which led to me being over tired etc.
i feel normal today so im defo out.
lol yeh its our minds i think they're very powerful! i reckon i just ovulated late or something...

whats weird is that when i went to the hospital for bloody tests they check for the LH surge on the 21st day or any womans cycle, but thought the average was 14 days when they ovulate, thats why im confused!
thanks hun, good luck for when its your O time! xxx

 

[MichelleW]

That's really strange that they tested your LH on day 21 my LH, FSH and eostridial, progesterone and prolactin were all tested on day two and another cycle on day 3, then were supposed to be tested again 7dpo and twice now they have tested me on 3dpo, my progesterone at 7dpo is supposed to be 30 and over, and they sent my results saying first one was 29.5 and second one was 30 which is borderline, but imo they tested 4 days to early, the problem with doctors is this 21 day thing that they think everyone ovulates on day 14 its so inaccurate, my first progesterone was a day 21, that month I ovulated on day 18 so was only 3dpo! The second was he was like well we will do a day 23 instead, that month I ovulated on day 20 so again I was only 3dpo. I asked my surgery for a print out of all my results so i could look them up online lol. I told them its for my specialist which it is also as they have lost my results several times.

I am thinking i am going to book an appointment with the nurse at my gp's surgery myself this month and when i ovulate book it for 7dpo and ask for a print out again to check to see what's going on.

So frustrating all of this isnt it!

Don't rule yourself out hunni, never over till the witch arrives xx

 

[kristen]

Yeh they say thats the standard or something but i dont get how that works out as i thought an LH surge was when a woman was ovulating which on average is day 14. maybe its just a thing they do? well they say as close to the 21st day as possible, even though my cycle is 32 days :S so confusing! I know thats weird, maybe they are trying to pin point your surge then or maybe its different every time, i dont really understand all of that to be honest.! am hoping its not the case as they said they got enough hormones but even still 4 days after the hormones can still be detected!

Yeh true chick, im actually in so much pain right now its gradually got worse, on my left like when i push my tummy out my left ovary hurts it feels like its throbbing! when i move to the right i can feel it move as well its weird i dunno if thats a good sign or a bad sign that my bodies getting ready for AF but am pretty sure i dont have this before AF eek so bloody nervous, will def keep you posted! xxx

 

[kristen]

had anyone any news???

im 6 days late for AF and had a bfn sunday morning and last weds the first day of missed period.
i feel like im out and and that i must have ovulated late even though ive been regular for 10 months!

[MichelleW]

Hey Kristen,

Don't give up, sometimes a BFP takes a while to show for some people!

I'm just about to ovulate so I will be starting the two week wait in a couple of days! Fingers crossed this time that we get a BFP xxx

 

[kristen]

Hey hun I hope you are well ?

Thankyou, i hope so too, but will have to wait til weds (a week late) to see if ive come on as i did once before but been regular for 10months and no hormone problems.
