Hi all!
How's everyone doing?

My cycles have gone crazy lately. I posted when I first had my IUD removed in September, and I had amazingly a normal cycle right after removal! I thought it was a good omen...NOT.

I'm on cycle four now, still no PG, and my cycles are all screwed up. I'm ovulating really late - like around day 22 of my cycle (I usually ovulate around down 15). Also, my leutal phase (from when I ovulate until my period starts) has only been about 10 days, with my temp dropping low on day 9. I usually have about 12 days on the short side but 13 on average.

I started drinking raspberry leaf tea to help with my uterine lining and taking vitamin B-6 to help with my leutal phase length.

Keeping my fingers crossed this cycle!

Snipnsnails- I wish I knew my cycles like you do ! All I know is that mine have been longer each time. My last Cycle delay I attribute to stress though. I had my mirena removed in September as well, so I understand and am equally as frustrated. Here's hoping for some normal cycles!

Hello everyone, im still here mainly just lurking!

I managed to detect ovulation on the first month after having the coil removed and although im sceptical that a BFP is on the way I have still been charting and SS! I am trying so hard not to get my hopes up but it's hard. I feel like my chart is looking good so far, I'm 9dpo and will be testing mid next week if AF doesnt show up! Although i just know I might exploit my IC's before then... somebody stop me!!!

A couple of DPO I was having tugging pains down low and bloating, then the light cramping started with lower backache, ive pretty much had cramping most days and some pains that last just a few seconds. Pretty much gone off my cups of tea, not enjoying them at all or the after taste YUK! Had heartburn too and felt as though I was going to be sick if i burped or coughed for about a whole day...

here is my chart... i didnt start until CD13 as I wasn't planning on temping but after lots of advise I gave in and went and ordered one! xxxx

GL Babydustcass! I started using opks about CD10. Yesterday was CD14 and the test line is still really light. I must have been ovulating late all this time and only focused on BD then and maybe that's why I've had no luck yet. Hopefully, I'll O this month to not add on to my impatience! Have a great day ladies. =)

 

[babydustcass]

Its so easy to assume isn't it, I hope you get a nice +ve in the next few days, I tested 2x a day and sometimes late before bed around 12pm so i didnt miss it, I was using ICs so they are so cheap anyway. Personally I found them to be great and insightful.
How long ago did you have your mirena removed hun? x

 

[Calasen]

Well am now officially late again - not even considering it may be our month though so just waiting on period to start for trying again. Whos knows maybe because of the chicken pocks this month its delayed my period due to stress? oh well ...

 

[MEGARICE03]

Babydustcass- I got mine taken out in September! I can't believe it's already been 4-5 months! I for sure thought I'd get it out and BAM.. prego. But NOOO .. I guess there are different plans made out for me. I'd feel better getting prego now though bc my husband was unemployed then and now he has a really GOOD job.
Calasen- I feel for you! omg I think I'd go crazy if I were late again and knew I wasn't. Makes things just that much more stressful. GL to you both!

I have been lurking, too. Just too lazy to post anything!

Megarice, I thought the exact same thing. I got my Mirena out on October 1, and I thought FOR SURE I would be pregnant right away. I never ever tried with my other children, and the last one was a big time "oops" (withdrawal...). This time...well, it isn't that easy. Of course, my cycles have been pretty irregular since having the Mirena, and this continues to be the case. I had a 22 day cycle, followed by 33 days, and then a whopping 39 days. I know for sure the last time I ovulated, it was just really late in the cycle. We should have caught it, though...our timing was perfect. But, maybe my lining or the egg wasn't. So...here we are this month trying again. This will be officially the 3rd month...the first month (which was also the month I had a tubal reversal) we didn't really try.

Brandiesbabies...you asked a question earlier about cycles after removal. I think mine are pretty much the same now, maybe even slightly lighter. They were pretty heavy before the Mirena, and very, very light with it. Now they are mostly in between. I guess it is pretty heavy the first 3 days...I won't let dh dtd with me. Anyway, it is probably different for everyone.

I just wish I would get more regular.

Hi Ladies,

I have been lurking around of late and wasn't planning on posting, but I have been feeling really low this weekend so thought I'd seek advice from some like minded people....

So i posted I had my coil out at the beginning of October, and was expecting everything to get back to normal pretty quickly.... However, I have had no AF. No spotting, no nothing, Have taken tests every month and all are BFN.

Went to see the GP who was deeply unhelpful and basically told me to go away and wait, she said come back if you are not pregnant in a year .... Helpful!!

I am not expecting to be pregnant yet, i am not niave enough to think it would happen that fast, but the lack of any AF makes me miserable. I feel like a bit of a failure as a woman at the moment.

Is it possible I am ovulating without bleeding?? and would you ladies be heading back to the doctor and demanding more help? Or do i just need to man up and be patient??

Sorry for the long post, and thank you for taking the time to read and any advise would be gratefully recieved

Kat xx

Still late and now throwing up ... If only I wasn't pretty certain this wasn't our month

 

[babydustcass]

[Calasen]

when is the next testing day Calasan?

Maybe in a few weeks if AF dont show - Convinced myself its nothing so trying to believe that for a bit

 

[MEGARICE03]

Kittenly, There is definitely something wrong! I was really late my last cycle and I've had a few cycles after removal in September. When I went to the OBGYN she prescribed me something to help me regulate. I ended up not using them bc AF came the next day. I couldn't tell you the name bc I didn't even pick it up. There are vitamins and Rx that you can use to regulate. I'd suggest getting a second opinion from another doctor! My OBGYN says you may not have a period every month but it is normal to have one at least every 3 months. GL girlie!

 

[MEGARICE03]

Day 17 and no signs of O! sigh =(

Thank you so much, i was starting to think i was going mad!! I feel like i am due AF, as i feel bloated and stupidly emotional at the moment, but then AF just doesn't show up. Its really getting me down. I have put a call in to my consultant and will book to see a more friendly GP

Thanks again xx
