no idea twiggy, just gonna keep taking the AC and see what happens. I am more inclined to trust my temps rather than the opks as I know there are millions of people and sites that say opks are no good with PCOS. But you don't have PCOS right(?)

I'm also converting to taking my bbt vaginally next month (whenever that is) to try and get a more consistent temp - mine are so low and i am hoping its just due to me having my hand in my gob all night
So that's gonna be interesting putting my thermometer up there

 

[chele]

well either somethings up or I def didn't ovulate - or am past ovulation and awaiting

Sorry if it's tmi, but i got a small tacky, sticky, white cm clot earlier with a faint smell of vinegar, which I am led to believe meets it's infertile. So either i've not ovulated or have, but am currently not fertile.
only time will tell

nice.......

 

[twiggy56]

Nope iv not been diagnosed with pcos...but im starting to wonder if im totally honest..stoopid long cycles!!!!! damit!!

I completely get u chele....and dont worry about the 'tmi'..its not at all...thats what this forum is all about..advice for warts'an'all fertility situations!! Well i stopped taking the AC yesterday coz i had a bit of a worry that just incase i was pg i didnt wana risk damaging the embreyo so just guna wait til AF comes? Even tho iv already done 4 and a half days of it? lol.

Im guna also start temping next cycle (again..whenever that is?!) got my thermometer by my bed...il prob try orally 1st but if not accurate enough it'l be the same road ur going down for me too!!! yummy!!!

opk's are starting to annoy me..as i got a +ive on cd17 but have got faint lines (albeit not a firm +ive) today on cd67? i mean, its just sooo damn confusing!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[gypsy]

wow! 300+ cycle?! Ur a bloody inspiration gypsy!! Course u can join!! How'd u go from 300+ cd's to now in the 40's?! Wots your story? how long u been off bcp now? xxxxxx

well im in the 40's and still counting,this is only my second cycle since coming of bcp at end of april 2008,i was on bcp for 10+ years without any breaks,according to ff i ovulated last week and currently on 7dpo but im not convinced at all.ive had two lots of ewcm (sorry tmi) this month and my temps are up and down like a yo yo.

ive been dr's quite alot and they kept saying come back when its been 3 month then 6 month then 12 month,ive had all the blood tests done,my testosterone was slightly higher than it should be,ive been for a scan and that showed small cycts on my ovaries and now being reffered to fertility specialist,first appointment 3rd june,i cant wait....

when i first started ttc i was doing pregnancy tests all the time but now i rarely do them because each time they come back it does my head in.

goodluck to you all,its nice to know im not alone.

hi ladies,

well had my blood done, i was a nerveous wreck, BP still up but the nurse said she could tell i was scared.... i asked what she was testing for and she said thyroid, blood count etc... the lot basically... so i gotta wait a week today for my results, im scared lol.... i need to toughen up i think. Think my arms going to bruise coz its aching now xxxxxxxxx

 

[chele]

yyaaaay well done drakey - see it'll be fine, no worries, the pain of taking the blood will be worth it fx.

gypsy - did they say if they can alter the amount of testosterone. I posted a thread a while back and no-one answered. I remember a blood test I had done for a medical they said i had high testosterone, so was wondering what they can do to try and reduce this.

Just waiting for my next dr appt now - she told me to go back in 3-4 weeks if AF hasn't shown, it's now 2 weeks since that appt so will make the appt for 4 weeks. if AF shows up then I'll just get the bloods done as planned. Hoping to get my fertility referral though.

Twiggy - oh the woes of being a woman. Going to order my second thermometer this weekend for use down there
Would have been interesting if I'd started using opks to see if also got a positive on cd17!

 

[rabbit]

Drakey- my fingers are crossed for you that the results come back with some kind of answer- I know it was a relief to me to know that there was a reason for my body being crap!!!!!!

Twiggy- I cant remember my cycle before bcp- I was on it 13 years.

I'm off for an ultrasound tomorrow to try and find out what the pain is that I keep getting- they are really sharp stabbing pains, low on my right hand side but they come and go in a matter of minutes. Has anyone else experienced this???? x x

 

[drakey]

I do sometimes getting shooting pains down there, but its not very often so i dont think much of it, i hope the scan goes well!... im just glad my bloods are over and done with and i hope they dont tell me any thing bad! xxxxxxxxxx

 

[twiggy56]

Drakey, good on ya girl!!! Well done for makin it thru the bloods! fx'd you'l get the all clear

Well no action to report im afraid..cd68..and still counting (AF still awol)..altho had weird goings-on with feelin a bit odd...putting it down to stress with exams tho. My CM seems so be changing its mind by the day...who the hell knows!! Wish doc app on friday would just hurry up already...

Any luck with the AC yet Chele?

Gypsy hows u today?
Rabbit how was the ultrasound...?! xxxxxxxxxxx

 

[gypsy]

well done drakey for the bloods,was it not as bad as you thought? ,lets hope all your results are fine.

chele the dr's didnt really say much about the testosterone,but i do know pcos was mentioned,and as soon as i heard that allsorts started going through my head and i wasnt really listening,i just thought oh this is it no chance of getting pregnant with that!! i do know now that you can get pregnant but it may take a little longer.i havent actually been diagnosed with it as yet though.ive just been having a look at your ff chart your temps look about the same as mine.

im with you twiggy its not much change for me either - my temp did go down this am (whatever that means) and i have been getting cramps on and off today but im not reading to much into that!!!! probably nothing. roll on cd46here i come.

hows everyone else this evening?

 

[chele]

Well, it's official. my parts have officially shut down. Flatlined
LOOK at my chart!!! the last three days the exact same temperature. It's all over. May as well dig a hole in the back garden and bury my womb.

Maybe it's the AC, maybe my thermometer is bust. Unlikely, I'm going out of business

poop
xx

 

[gypsy]

dont give up.

 

[twiggy56]

gypsy..i think all us long cyclers go down the 'its pcos' route...i convince myself i'll be diagnosed with it but i suppose only time, bloods and scans will tell... its just sooooo frustrating not knowing where you are or what you're doing- you're essentially in limbo. For a long frikin time...!! *promised myself no more rants today....lol*

Chele, ur chart does seem to be er, flatlining? - no no, maybe just stablilizing?! yes...that would be fabby...this could be the beautiful beginning of a perfect 30 day cycle?...well, a girl can hope... I hope its just an odd sign of a

Well i have decided to look at wedding dresses online to cheer myself up after still zilch from the old hag and a really bad 3hr exam today.. (playing the world's saddest song on my little violin lol)

[gypsy]
