***September beautiful beans** Testing thread***

[hayleight87]

Hi Everyone! Didn't realize the September group was already in action. Mixed emotions about being here CD1 but such is life.

This is cycle 3 TTC#2 after our MC at 10w in May

I hope this is the cycle for your BFP xx

 

[Lightning7]

yes we must have been. I recognised your name which is more the reason I wanted to comment. 2 years, I can’t imagine how hard that is. The longest it’s taken me in the past is 18 months and that was horrendous. I have such admiration for women like you who don’t give up. I really do believe it will happen for you hun. Hopefully very soon. I was fortunate to conceive my son last year and for that reason nothing more was said about the condition but I hope your gynaecologist can help in some way. I’m wishing all the best to you and all the ladies trying for their bfps. Will silently be cheering you on

Thank you. I was really struggling with it after the first 12 months so I stopped tracking/testing for a while, tried to not think about it, but I know from period dates I had a couple more chemicals in that time. I got back to tracking and testing a couple of months ago and straightaway had 2 chemicals in a row on my last 2 cycles.
It gives me mixed thoughts it's obviously heartbreaking each time but it also tells me we are managing to make the baby it's just not sticking yet, I still have short Luteal phase so I'm hoping I can get some testing for that from gyno and maybe progesterone supplements in case that is part of the problem. Hopefully not too long wait on gyno I know it's all taken a back seat here for a while because of covid so the wait times on things have been awful.

@Dream143r have my fingers crossed for you this cycle

@sallyhansen76 when will you start testing?

@hayleight87 yay test buddies. I’m 7 dpo today! Testing has well and truly begun lol

@Lightning7 are you also in lockdown? I’m sooo over it to say the least

 

[Lucy3]

@crazylilth1ng still early!!

this is my chart today. Looks good! Of course dipped some cheapies, don’t think I can see anything

 

[Lucy3]

Now I look at my test again maybe something is catching my eye if I zoom in?

I can definitely see something there hun!!! Eek praying they get darker x

 

[Lucy3]

Yay really? Thanks for looking @hayleight87 !

 

[hayleight87]

Yay really? Thanks for looking @hayleight87 !

Yes it definitely looks like the start of a bfp. So exciting!

 

[Bloblo]

@Lucy3 That looks like the start of a bfp to me. Best to test after 48 hrs again to see if it gets stronger or weaker. Keeping everything crossed!

@Dream143r Here's hoping 3rd time's a charm for you!

Afm, had my last hcg blood draw today and it's down to 0.63 mlU/ml, so that confirms that miscarriage is officially over (they were just looking for a number below 5). Today marks exactly 4 weeks since the start of the mc, so I am also expecting af pretty soon and then we will ttc again. Dh has already started taking his fertility vitamins and I am on prenatals - doing all we can to be healthy and give it our best shot!

Welcome @Dream143r Hugs FX for giving it ago this September

FX to everyone, following and going through a tough Cd1 after all the ivf drugs. AF is having its way with me this weekend. Water and sleep is all I want.

Catch up soon.

 

[Nima]

@Dream143r so sorry about your mc, I really hope this month brings you a rainbow.

@Lucy3 something is catching my eye too

@FTale hope you can get all the water and rest that you need. Your body has been through a lot.

@Bloblo good luck!

@Lightning7 I also have a relatively short luteal phase and from what I've read it actually doesn't have such an impact on fertility. If your hormonal profile is normal it's not a real problem, as long as it's not under 7-8 days.

 

[Lucy3]

Hope af is easing up @FTale and you get as much rest as your body needs

thanks for looking @Nima of course I’ve been dipping every time I pee today, not sure what I’m expecting to see but can’t help myself!

 

[Lucy3]

@Bloblo I wish I had the will power to wait 48 hours to re test! Not possible haha

 

[Lightning7]

@Lucy3 no lockdown in my state currently! Hope yours ends soon! I definitely see a line on your test, FX for you.

@Nima that's interesting when I looked it up a while back everything I read showed short LP being a bad thing. Maybe they have done some new studies on it since then

 

[Bevziibubble]

@Lucy3 good luck!

 

[Lucy3]

Thanks Bev

I had a fair wait for mine and that was before covid really hit. I feel for you hun I really do. Chemicals are so heartbreaking when they keep happening over and over and also so frustrating, as like you said, you can obviously fall pregnant but they just don’t stick. My first chemical I ovulated on cd52, so to be fair I wasn’t surprised it didn’t work out, but then I didn’t ovulate for the next 3 months and the 4th I had on/off bleeding. I think it worked out over the year because of the anovulatory months I actually got 6 tries at it. 4 were chemicals, one I just didn’t fall at all and the 6th was my son. With dd3 I didn’t ovulate at all for 18 months. So I’m assuming there’s something else not right to be honest but I didn’t go for help with her. I tried Angus castus and it worked for me, I ovulated within the first month of taking it and it resulted with her. I was very lucky.
Sorry for the ramble but I just hope I can give you some hope that I'm sure it will happen for you and hopefully before you’ll need that appointment like it did for me. As hard as I know it is when you’ve been trying so long already. Im rooting for you so much

The studies I read are from 2015-18, they show no significant difference between women with short luteal phase and normal women. The whole diagnosis of luteal phase deficiency is really not so evidence based. It seems to be a normal variant of women's cycles.

According to ff I’m 7dpo today (thought I was 8) I woke up early feeling hot and yuck. My initial temp was really high so took it again half an hour later, still high but not crazy high! Do you see anything?
