CG go poas before i go bed quick quick

Poppy been reading a bit and from what I can understand the LH is produced by the mature egg so if you are producing this your egg should be fine Hun! Xx

So basically you have to produce LH to get a mature egg in the first place or you wont ovulate?

 

[China girl]

Ok Poppy...hold on!!

 

[coral11680]

Yes I think so poppy it's all so confusing in medical terms! Lol

hey sweeties... reading about the opks reminded i needed to start doing opks today and i just totally forgot!!! and i just peed about 30 mins ago, so i will probably just wait until tomorrow now to start. dumb me. i even had dh buy me a new pack of opks yesterday.

anyways, tink and poppy, i'm with you girls on the "no seafood" front. for myself, i've had fish once or twice, and i don't care for it, but the real issue for me is that i just cannot tolerate the smell. if the smell makes me there's no way in heaven or hell anybody's going to get me to put it in my mouth!!! so that's the bottom line for me

jenny and china... yay for ewcm!!! sounds like ov is on the horizon for you both!!

caz...i think your chart is looking GREAT for hun!!! i'm excited for you and can't wait for you to test!!!

UK girls...how often do you have to take a driver's test over there?? or are some of you ladies only recently getting drivers' licenses? i'm just curious...again (as usual), just funny sometimes comparing how things are in the UK to here in the US. i've been driving since i was 16, so almost 20 years (yikes!!...i'm SOOOOOOO olddddddd!!!!) it's just such a BIG deal here for kids to be old enough to get their "learner's permit" at the appropriate age and start driving. it's a big coming of age thing for kids here in the states. up until a few years ago, i'd only ever had a "fender bender", but 5 years ago, i had a serious accident...driving in the rain to work, the state was resurfacing the highway i was driving on, and the road was slick. i hydroplaned and lost control, spun out all the way across the median and into oncoming traffic at something like 65-75mph. SCARY. time really does slow down in those situations. i remember the impact so clearly. i was hit by 3 cars. my car was totalled..really a miracle i survived and wasn't more injured than i was. i ended up with a severe concussion and neck injury. i didn't realize it at the time, but i did lose consciousness for a short time. my face was all cut up from the glass and swollen from being banged around so much. it was pretty gruesome. had terrible nightmares and flashbacks (PTSD) for a couple of months, and couldn't bring myself to drive for over a month. my sweet daddy drove me everywhere. it happened just about 4 or 5 months after me and my ex split up, so it was a terrible time. but all's better now time heals and what time didn't heal, the plastic surgeon did ehh, nothing big girls...i had a nasty scar above my left eye, and the surgeon was able to remove most of it and close it up so it's not as noticeable. i wore a bandage over the spot for about 3 months to make sure it healed up nicely as sun will worsen scars. now all i need is a little bit of eyebrow pencil to cover it up. ah geez here i go babbling on again about nothing...sorry sweeties. it's b/c i miss you all so much during the day and don't really get a chance to just chat well i better go...gotta get up early for work tomorrow i'll talk to you girls this weekend if not tomorrow!!

Morning ding dongs

China hope you got the goods last night!

PK over here you have to be 17 to take you're test. I think our tests here are a little more difficult than over there. Only reason I know is my husband recently had to take the uk written and practical test and he said it was harder than the one he took on NJ when he was 16. I took mine when I was 18 and luckily passed both parts first time, although a big part of my practical was I had a great examiner. The World cup 98 was on and all he did was talk about that the whole time, made me relax and he was really nice When I moved to the states luckily they just made me take the written part to get my New Jersey license and I passed that the second time around A difference in the US and here is you dont really need to drive here, there are so many public bus routes and trains people easily travel without driving so some people never learn to drive, although personally I would hate to have to take the bus etc, cars are much more convenient. Over here once you get your license it lasts until you are you are 70 years old you dont have to renew them. Over there its like every 4 years right? Which reminds me I need to renew mine when I visit in April. If I ever move back I dont want to have to take the test again!
That accident sounded so frightening PK I have only been in fender benders like you said. Nothing with much damage at all. My biggest thing was backing out of a space last year and I didnt see a car driving by and I went into him neede a new bumber but that was my worst in my 12 years of driving. Fingers crossed it stays that way!

Wow I rambled on then didn't I

Morning Ding Dongs!

Coral, we like your rambling x

PK hey honey, ramble on also glad you understand about the seafood x

Pops, still reading. I don't think you should jump to conclusions about your short FP. Its only been a couple of cycles right? and after the miscarriage? To me its just taking a while for your hormones to settle down again. It doesn't take much to put the fine balance out of whack. From my reading, ovulation before 10 days could mean the quality of the egg isn't fantastic, as would be the case after 20 days. I would have said 9 days would be ok, especially when you consider af might have been a few hours earlier and O a few hours later than dead on time scales. Yes there's lots of info about diminishing eggs and quality of eggs with age and FP problems, but I wouldn't read too much into all that just yet.

Coral said about LH being released by the mature egg, and there is some sort of truth in that. Its actually produced by the pituitary glad, along with FSH. In simple terms your brain produces FSH to get the egg ready, as it matures, more and more estrogen is produced by the follicles until it reaches a level that signals to the brain the egg is ready. The brain then releases LH to stimulate the egg to pop out. Estrogen levels drop off and progesterone takes over for the LP. Since Progesterone is produced from the Egg that has been released, the temp rise we see on a chart as a result indicates ovulation has indeed taken place.

So, to me everything looks ok, just maybe a tiny bit out of whack. You could worry yourself silly over not producing good quality eggs etc, what with the miscarriage and all but hey, it was only a little while ago your produced perfect little Korben. I think you'll find everything will work out just fine honey x

 

[poppy666]

Morning Ding Dongs

Awww thanks Tink really appreciate all that its totally put my mind at ease and your right i manage to concieve Korben and he's healthy
I was thinking alsorts that my body was ready to go through the change etc but i never started my periods till i was 18 same as my mum and when she died at 52 she was still having periods so i must still have a decent amount of eggs in storage lol.

May like you say my body still not back to normal 100% and may take another few months to go back to 28 cycle.

Where's MC i need to see if she got that delivery yet x

 

[Hopes314]

poppy i agree i think your cycles look fine for ttc, i looked online about extending the fp and i cant seem to find much about a supplement or anything that could solve that. i wonder if you stopped soy if you would ov later? sorry i can't be of much more help


as for me, skipped my crab legs last night, got so sick around 630 just went right to bed and didnt open my eyes until 530 this morning. so that was the end of that i guess. although ive been taking the same prenatal vitamins ever since we started ttc last august, i recently DREAD taking them, its like i have to have a feast or i can't hold them down. should i get a different vitamin prescribed? literally, yesterday morning i had 3 pieces of french toast, a yogurt, and an apple, and then took the vitamins, and almost couldn't keep them down. i really think it was due to the vitamins because although i felt a little crappy before eating and all of course, after eating and then the vitamins it was a very sudden violent kind of nausea, so i really think its the vitamins all of a sudden? This morning I had a sandwich and a yogurt and 2 popsicles, then took the vitamins, and within probably 5 minutes it was all back up again. Should I consider trying again later and eating and taking the vitamins again? I know vitamins are like a bad bad thing to take too much of, so I'm kinda afraid to try to take them again today incase some of it already got absorbed?? What do you think?

My next scheduled appointment with my "old" doctor is next wednesday the 2nd, I was going to cancel since I'm switching drs and I'm scheduled to see new dr march 14th, but I may keep that appt with old doctor so I can get different vitamin prescription and.. nausea meds. I'm caving.

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Exactly Pops, to me this cycle looks much better on your chart so I'm sure you'll be back to normal very soon, if not already! x

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Hopes, I say keep the app, switch vits and get the meds Hope today is better for you x

 

[Hopes314]

Thanks tink. The other option I was considering was calling up doc and telling them everything and seeing if they want to try to squeeze me in monday instead. I feel like I cant wait that much longer. The part that bothers me most is the vitamins really. I feel guilty going until wednesday with possibly keeping down no vitamins.

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Well at this stage in pregnancy, the main reason you take the vits is to safeguard your nutritional requirements. So ideally yes you need them as your not managing to keep much down.......BUT If I was you, I would stop taking the vits for a couple of days and see what happens. I personally think if your throwing up food and your vits, its pointless taking them. You would benefit far more from gaining the vits from real food, that you can keep down. Of course if you found you were still throwing up regardless then of course keep taking them. But I dunno, what do you think? the main thing you needed out of them was the folic acid in the first tri. Perhaps if you notice an improvement try and eat lots of nutriant rich foods and then ask for new vits at the appointment.

I know its very different over there, but over hear we don't have to take vits, only folic acid for the first 12 weeks. We buy them if we want to take a multi vit. Tell me to shut it if you want just a thought x
