Team CD 80+

[chele]

well temp this morning is back to a normal lowish of 36.06. so very disappointed as not sure what's going on. I took it again at 10ish and it was up to 36.46 again (didnt get up til 11!!) so maybe the not being asleep/not being awake made it rise. So no idea.
I've had cramp this morning for about 5 minutes, just a general central cramp so no idea what that it.

We 3 times yesterday so if there is an eggy there we must have got it, but now I'm worried it's all fake

Off to do another opk now.

I was so excited yesterday that my body might be doing something after 100 days

 

[Heidi]

Chele what time do you normally take your temps? I find even an hour difference can make it change allot. keep us updated with the opks xx

 

[chele]

i take it around 7am, and it was 7am this morning

Here is my 3rd opk in 3 days. Either something is wrong or no idea. cd99 and 100 have slightly faded again. And this morning instead of 5 seconds for the positive to appear it took about 10 seconds, so still quick. So either I am ovulating and my temp this morning was a temp dip. I am soooooo confused now. And what if I get another positive tomorrow? Scared it's all fake.

Hi girlies!

sorry iv been absent from the thread, im down in London for a 3 day wedding!! I had to drive 9 hours from scotland- not fun when your preggers and exhausted, nauseus and crampy!!

update on me..i went to the doctors friday morning- he confirmed the pregnancy (almost hit the deck!) he thought i was coming in just to get the results of the second bloods!! I was terrified his test wasnt going to be sensitive enough but he was like 'wow, that is definitely a positive...and the time limit's no where near up!!' -made me smile! So because they would date the pregnancy from my lmp (haha-GOOD LUCK counting back 90 odd days matey!!!) so im because they cant do that im getting an early scan!! i was really hoping for one...so my first midwife app is on its way in the post!

not got long on the computer, got a wedding to go to in a hour lol...but reading the last few posts..chele the opk's r looking great!! My cd83 positive looked like ur cd100 one...so ther's definitely hope!!!

xxxxxx

 

[chele]

got a few more cramps again

been reading some info on https://www.peeonastick.com/opkfaq.html and it says that if I get 3 days or more it can mean the egg is struggling to get out. Must try and relax

 

[chele]

right, i need some advice my lovely ladies

If i get a positive opk tomorrow should I do a pregnancy test?

Someone else reckons my temp rises from day 84 could have been ovulation. I am trying to work out therefore if my positive opk on day 83 could have led to a positive . I know i'm getting myself worked up about it, and around that time we didn't much, but something is going on.

But I don't feel any symptoms. Just a massive spot breakout around that time.
I am now driving myself insane.

Would you test tomorrow??????????

Hey Chele,

I've just taken a look at your chart, It's a tough one. Im in the same situation as you. I have PCOS and long cycles. And the positive OPKs really are a nightmare to deal with. I think you could try a HPT tomorrow - and either way your mind would be put at rest. If it's a great if not then you may well be Ovulating.

ff can be wrong. It seems to think that I am 17dpo today, but I think I ovulated later than that and am 13dpo. So I wouldnt take it's lack of prediction as a deff no. The only thing with your temps is that they do seem to be falling back around that time, and I dont know where yoour cover line would be.

Good luck if you do test and lots of to you!

 

[Heidi]

Morning girls!

Seems like you've been very busy then Twiggy, glad every thing went ok with the doctors you must have given him a shock!! lol

Chele, i would say if the opk took longer to come up then it will probably fade over the next few days and that you may be O'ing as we speak! I would take a test if curiosity is getting the better of you, then you will maybe have some kind of idea about whats going on. keep us posted xx

Hey hun, lets hope some thing happens over the next few days for you, i would say by your chart that your 13/14 dpo fx'd for you!!!

 

[chele]

well, i couldn't wait so took one...... and I got a of course.
Not too surprised really, as I said a lack of symptoms, but had some more cramps yesterday and temp is back up a little today. Doing another opk when I get home tonight to see what's happening.

nnn84 - 17dpo ! that wouldn't be possible. Yeah i don't trust ff that much but just like it for my visual aid and to log opks etc. Just wish I knew what my coverline was. 102 days of cycle is too much to work it out!!

xx

hugs to u chele... wish we new what was going on with our bodies xxxxxxxxxxx

 

[chele]

thanks twiggy hun

so an update, here is my opk from this afternoon. A very faint line. Thinking about it now, and seeing what Oulina wrote (she has PCOS and can get positive opks for 4 days), when I was on bcp, my body would keep hold of the hormones for as long as possible. I'd take my last pill on a Sunday and not start my period until Friday or Saturday, and the norm is 3 days after i think.

So I guess this is what's happening here in a way - my body might be keeping hold of the surge.

Well here's the line. I just hope there is an eggy there. Even if it doesn't get me a just to know that i can occasionally ovulate would be great!! (Still hoping for a bfp of course, given that we've 7 times in 72 hours - must be a record)

Girlies, do you think that with our cycles being sooooo long our eggs can get damaged??? x x

 

[nnn84]

Hey girls!

How is everyone doing??

Well my life is getting more confusing

ff is still telling me that I ovulated cd 70, making me 19dpo today!!!!

But If when I think I Ovulated is right, then Im more like 15dpo!

No sign of yet but I checked my cm and cp this morning and my cp is med/high, and my cm was creamy. Usually when Im due on, this is tinged a little by now. Have done hpt which are all negative. I did a predictor yesterday, and dismissed it as a although when I went to throw it out this morn, took another look at it and there is what I think is a very faint faint line ??? I know this is probs an evap but where the hell is the

Could you girls take a look at my chart and let me know what you think? Or where I am in my cycle. My (.)(.) still hurt well the nipples more than anything, and I have some lower backache very similar to how I would feel a couple of days before when is due (But had this for the last week almost!)

Sorry for the long post but Im getting annoyed with it all now.

p.s anyone know if Agnus Castus has an affect on LP, even if it was only taken for 3days?

Thanks ladies!!!

xxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[chele]

Girlies, do you think that with our cycles being sooooo long our eggs can get damaged??? x x

no I don't think it works like that hun, don't worry

nnn84 - you'd think that ff would remove the ovulation bit considering you can't really have a lp of that length.

If you've ovulated I would say day 75, but then again you had some good increases around day 50 so to be honest I'm not sure hun.

My own temp is up today (thank god) and so am dead nervous now and really hope this is ovulation and I am now in the LP/2WW.

 

[rabbit]

Chele- but I am worrying, i read an article on the net about the older the eggs the more rubbish they are....... but then again I suppose they are with us from birth..... With PCOS everytime you try to ovulate and dont suceed it end up as one of those cyst things yes??? So when you do finally ovulate one its a newly brewed one yes??? I am panicking now cos if I have caught mine it could well be very old and very rubbish!!! excellent news on your temps though x x

nnn- I'm rubbish at reading charts, I can just about see straight forward ones but when it comes to charts like ours i'm confused.... even with my own!

Got my appointment with gynae tomorrow! x x

 

[chele]

rabbit - I know we're born with our eggs and their quality can deteriorate if you're quite old when ttc, but am unsure that they can be bad in another way.

If you have caught your egg, it was only released from the fallopian tube recently and so the quality would be as good if it was day 15 of your cycle or day 115 - look at twiggy!
with PCOS it's not a case of the egg becomes a cyst, rather one of the follicles in the ovary that becomes a cyst.

I suggest the best person to ask is the gynae tomorrow - am sure he/she can put ur mind at rest a bit!!! xx

 

[twiggy56]

so ladies, thats me back from this 3-day wedding shin-dig...i had to drive 10 hours down to London as darling fiancè doesnt drive (yes, at age 31 he STILL doesnt drive!!) so now here's me, 4 and a half weeks pregnant and doin the full wack of 10 hours up AND back!! (he's getting me a new digi as a present for doing so well lol!) I do love them pee sticks...and i told him he owed me big time so im getting a digi and a whole bunch of superdrugs (how romantic! LOL) i cant get enough of the bfp! U never get sick of seeing 2 lines...and iv been having medium cramps at like 3am all weekend so was worried about bean but iv just done one now and i think beany's holding on tight...as you can see by my piccy!!

ok so anyway...chele, the opk's look reeeeally good. The positives were very strong positives and the drop-off to such a faint line i think pretty much confirms your surge! There's such a difference that it couldnt not be a surge...and as you did a record amount of times (good lord your OH deserves a medal!) then you could be in with a good chance! Im sure this is your 2ww...you'l b symptom spotting ALL the time now!! -mind that i got my sensitive/sore nipples from 2dpo so keep your eyes peeled!!!

rabbit- hun i hope our eggs arent bad after being there for so long!! lol. Otherwise my bean's an oldie!! But in all seriousness i asked my doctor this and he said that the eggs are be prefectly healthy in a long natural cycle...the body only releases them when its ready, so it can do the job of getting it down the tubes!! Plus as chele said...look at me! Mine was released cd83!! And now its a tiny wee bambino!!

hope you're all well, i need to start doing shorter posts, lol. Promise this is last big one as iv been away from BnB for 4 days and have got withdrawls!!! lol.

xxxxx

 

[chele]

ah twiggy am still dead chuffed for you. You must be so knackered.

Yeah am symptom spotting all the time now but trying not to get stressed about it in case it does some damage. I am feeling so optimistic (thanks to ur success). I have cramps that last about 2 mins at least twice a day so a bit worried about those. Feelng very bloated and had a spot breakout - hope these are good signs!

Hope everyone else is doing ok

Good luck tomorrow rabbit!
xx

 

[drakey]
