Team Fashionably Late

[leelee]

Hi to all the newbies,

I am out of the race this month. AF just arrived, 3 days early. I didn't think it was my month this month so am relieved that I can just move on to next month.

I am a bit worried about my chart and that my LP might be too short. I thought that I O'd on CD10. Could someone have a look for me?

Thanks.

Are you sure its AF? Spotting doesn't count. I sometimes get a few days of spotting before CD1 (first day of actual flow). At 7 dpo that could be implantation bleed.

Not so sure now. I am so confused now. AF hasn't arrived yet and usually she would be here in full flow.

Sorry if this is TMI but I literally wiped yesterday evening and there was a small amount of fresh red blood, then nothing at all. Usually AF arrives within a few hours. I only BD'd on CD10 and CD13 (away with work) so if I O'd on CD19 there is no way I could be pregnant. My temp rose today but I had a restless sleep and had to temp 1 hour early due to going away with work today.

Don't know what to think. Wish AF would come and get it over with. Could I be in with a chance?

morning girls x
Just a slight correction - I noticed on the fornt page your've got my testing date as the 21st April - it should be 21st of March - sorry.

well af due then anyway - I think - i'm usually pretty regular. Think I'm out this month though as have no symptoms at all yet

to you all

You could totally be in with a chance Leelee, your ov date mght not be completely right and there are tons of stories of people who think they missed ov only to get their BFP!

Your temps look nice and high, I wouldn't lose hope yet x

Ur temps are defo looking good leelee - if ur AF was just around the corner ur temps would be heading for the coverline and usually your temps will drop a few days around the cover line and then AF shows. At this point if you only had a tiny amount of blood when u wiped and no full on AF yet it would seem like implantation. Ur temps really do seem too high for ur AF just yet. Fingers crossed for you - keep tempting and so what happens. Best wishes.

Thank you shalagirl - I'm more tuned into my body than I thought, when reading about signs of ovulation etc I realised that I have noticed them - but in my pre ttc ignorance I hadn't put 2 + 2 together.

We are just going to enjoy trying for a while and try to be chilled out about it. If it doesn't happen soon ish then I'll temp etc. I'm quite realistic that it wont happen straight away and trying to instill this info onto OH

I'm more worried about coping without my massive dose of anti histamines i've been surviving on. I've had to change to an AH that doesn't work for me, but is considered safe. My specialist will kill me when I see her after easter. My Dr wanted me to wait until I'd seen allergy specialist again and had endoscopy, but I told him they haven't figured it out in 10 years and I'm not waiting for them before trying. Maybe pregnancy will cure my allergic reaction to whatever it is (I live in hope)

I know this is an old post, but thought I'd reply anyway.. I had a severe allergy for more than 3 years that no allergy doctor was ever able to figure out what was causing it despite all the tests they put me through. I used to get hives all over my body, face, and everywhere else. I had to take cortisone for a great part of those 3 years because antihistamines alone would not help. The Allergists would keep telling me that 50% of allergies nobody ever figures out what was the cause and I would wonder why I was even paying them!!

I moved out of my apartment and about 6 months later I was able to lower the cortisone dosage to the minimum and about 6 months after that I was able to stop using it completely. Now, (2 years later) I seldom ever take antihistamines. The allergy has practically disappeared. I have come to the conclusion that it was something in the environment of that apartment. I remember we had a neighbor who had an unused swimming pool and would not clean it. We had to constantly call the authorities to force him to clean it when it got really bad. I'm pretty sure that was the cause of my allergy.

There may be something in your home or work environment causing your allergy. Hope you can figure it out.

Good luck and

Blimey this thread moves fast!!!

Enid, thanks for your reply. This has been ongoing for 10+years and I've moved twice and changed jobs a few times, so it's probably not linked to enviroment (unless it's general like air - I do wonder sometimes!!) The current theory from specialist is coeliac disease. I've had a slighltly raised blood test and i'm waiting for endoscopy and biopsy.

All in all i'm in agony - I look like i've fallen in nettles, can't stop scratching and can't sleep. I'm not allowed to avoid gluten until I've had the other tests.

I've hardly stopped crying for 2 days now. I really want a family, but I can't cope like this

Your temps are still rising Leelee so that is looking good. Was there any more spotting today?

You poor thing. makes me feel bad for complaining about the ordinary run of the mill ttc anoyances. I hope you get some relief from it soon. Good for you keeping relaxed about the ttc though - definitely the best way (if you can - I find it hard!) xx

No spotting at all today. CM went back to normal and just had mild cramping and a sore lower back.

Your temperatures are good and steady Kasey.
