Nope. Last month it was 34 day cycle, ovulated on cd 22, this cycle i'm already 14dpo, ovulated on cd 19, cd 33 today. My cycles range from 29 to 35 days. My ovulation dates move too. I seem to ovulate late

I can't believe him! I'm screaming in agony but I can't see a doctor because 'it's just period pains'.

 

[TryinFor1]

What is wrong Emma? What is going on?

 

[katherinegrey]

:O Emma, are you okay? Take some co-codamol, that always works when I have extreme period pains, i sometimes have them where I'm sobbing in agony (so much so that the doctors thought I'd got endometriosis and did a laparoscopy even!) and if that doesn't work, you need to see a doctor. With your faint lines, you have to be careful in case you're pregnant but it's ectopic, I hope it's not that, but you can't be too careful.

Well, witch just got me light atm but I know it'll get heavier, cycle day 1 for me.

 

[TryinFor1]

At least it came Katherine. Now you can start onto your next cycle. At least you are ovulating. I am killing myself wanting to know when it is gonna happen. lol

it is good that you dont have endo though too.

 

[Emma11511]

I'm screaming like I'm in labour! Taken paracetamol+co-codamol and mefenamic acid, and nothing's working

 

[katherinegrey]

I'm glad I don't have endo, especially as I was only 18 when they told me, and me and my OH had only been together for 6 months. In a way though that scare really made me put things in perspective, I've always been quite career driven with me being at uni, but after thinking I wouldn't be able to have children, it's made me see that having a family is the most important thing in the world to me.

Mind you, you say about ovulating, I'm not sure if my eggs are any good or if I ovulate every month to be honest, that was what they found during my op, was my ovaries are enlarged, all they said was it would make my periods irregular, so I'm assuming it must affect ovulation

Good luck to you, now we're waiting to ov together

 

[TryinFor1]

Well at least I am not in this stage by myself. It has to happen sometime right? ...well hopefully.. I just hope it is before cd22! lol that is all I ask!

 

[katherinegrey]

I'm sure it will happen soon Rachael

I'm going to carry on with my agnus castus this month, I ovulated 3 days early from cycle day 22 to cycle day 19 I hope it moves it even earlier this month, that'd be brilliant, apparently agnus takes time to build up so I'm hoping so

Trying to be positive about this cycle, bit gutted I've started a new cycle but, no point being too upset, i'll just have some ice cream, chocolate and maybe a glass of wine

How're you Emma? Hope you're ok?

 

[TryinFor1]

Thanks and way to stay positive Katherine.

Yeah Emma, are you feeling any better?

 

[katherinegrey]

Ahh, ice cream helps my positive attitude , also, I know it sounds bad, and don't get me wrong I hate af and would love it to never show, but it's like the only time I know I can eat junk food and not feel guilty, do some good exercise and not worry it's going to dislodge anything, not have sex based on my fertile signs and not symptom spot obsessively so I can relax a bit!

I really hope Emma is okay

 

[Emma11511]

hey ladies.
I'm feeling a bit better. Still in pain, but drugged up so much! I'm worried that I have endometriosis :/ I'm going to go to the doctors at some point next week. I've just looked it up online, and I have loads of the symptoms I just want to know what's wrong with me

 

[katherinegrey]

Aww Emma, don't worry honey, they told me I had that. Sent to me a specialist gyno even, he told me he thought I had it severe and it'd be unlikely that I'd conceive naturally. I was absolutely devastated, he told me my symptoms very severe. He then sent me for a laparoscopy. I didn't even have it! I spent months and months worried sick that I'd have trouble conceiving and I didn't even have it.

Honestly, you can't go off symptoms too much hun, so try not to worry

Glad you're feeling better though

 

[Emma11511]

Thanks Katherine.
I know it's probably nothing, and I'm probably scaring myself for no reason, but I just can't help it. The sooner I see someone the better, even if it's just to put my mind at ease. Did they actually diagnose you with anything, or prescribe anything if it wasn't endo?

 

[katherinegrey]

I know it's hard honey, I went through months of terrifying myself, what I will say is step away from google! It was the absolute worst thing in the world for me, I just used to terrify myself!

Well, they asked me if I'd heard of endometriosis, I said no, they then gave me leaflets explaining it, and put me on the contraceptive pill, they said that was one of the treatments for it, as when it's taken continuously with no periods, it can help with the condition. I asked about having a baby, she said some people with endometriosis choose to have children younger, as it becomes more difficult over time, and that if I wanted children it would be difficult for me, and if I hadn't conceived in six months I'd have to go back on the pill to control it again. So I had the pill, which didn't suit me at all, when I told them it wasn't suiting me, they sent me to a specialist who gave me an interview on all my symptoms and problems, he then said my symptoms sounded severe and with symptoms like this, conceiving naturally might be a real problem, he then sent me for a laparoscopy to have the endometriosis lasered off, and to see how bad it was. Then I cam round and they told me they'd found no endometriosis! Which was such a blessing after being told how bad they thought it was!

So they gave me the pill as treatment, and diagnosed me in the sense as they were convinced that's what it was and even sent me to specialists! They were wrong, and after reading up symptoms on google I was convinced I had it myself, and I was wrong, so even if the doctor thinks it's that, there is hope until they find it during a laparoscopy, that is the only was to diagnose.

Sorry for the essay! Just explaining what happened in case it happens to you, so you've got some hope of it not being that, which nobody ever gave me

 

[overcomer79]

Aww Emma, I hope you feel better!! Oh and NEVER google anything!! You get the worst case scenario.

I am still waiting on AF to show UGH!! My temp went back up this morning but I am also sick so that throws that out the window! I guess if she doesn't show, I will test on the 19th (friday). Sorry ladies just not an early tester!

It could be that I am stressed about my son's birthday party. His brithday fall on the weekend of a national holiday and I'm worried if we do his party then, we won't have anyone that is able to come but every thing on the 27th of this month seems to be booked. I'm just a tad upset.

DH said if we have to do something sept 11th, we would have a small gathering at the house for his bday over labor day weekend. Never have a baby near a major holiday!!

 

[TryinFor1]

That sounds really scary Katherine! I am so glad that you didnt have it though! I always get terrified that I have it but I have nothing that even points to me having it so it is all in my head.

cd17-- still waiting!!

I am glad you are feeling better em.

I am testing the 19 too with an ic HPT. I just want to make sure because of my very closely positive (but not entirely positive) opk the other day. I paid like five dollars for 25 of them so I will just use one of those.

 

[katherinegrey]

I'm glad too

Overcomer79, good luck, and I hope you get your ! Sorry to hear you're sick though

Oh my days Rachael, I hate the long wait for ovulation! Maybe it'll surprise your and you'll ov tomorrow though, fingers crossed, just keep bd'ing to be safe!

 

[TryinFor1]

Of course.. I am attempting to dtd every other day until september first. That would put me at at cd33 and HOPEFULLY it will have happened by then!
