Mama any updates?

Elt how are you doing? Any signs of OV?

I think I may have finally OV a few days ago. But I'm not sure. Temp has been staying up. I haven't tested in a few days and I'm on CD35. My norm lately has been about 34-35 days. Guess if there is no witch by the weekend I'll test again.

Temp drop today and AF has now arrived. Started spotting last night so I was expecting as much *sigh* Really thought this was our cycle. Back to cd1...

Oh no Mama, I'm so sorry Hun!

Thanks Happy, I'm okay...sad of course but handling it better than I'd have thought considering how sure I was feeling about it. I think the job complications take the edge off. This way I can get my contract renewed before a announcement is made which is probably for the best. Still disappointing though. A good friend of mine with pcos who had to do fertility stuff for 3 of her kids talked to me yesterday and made me feel really good about where we're at. My meds are finally at the right dose it seems, my temps look great. All my symptoms I think are easily explained by the fact that my body hasn't had a proper cycle in years so it will take some hormone adjusting. All in all though after almost a year ttc we're finally in the place normal people are from day one so hopefully if the meds keep doing their thing it will only be a few more cycles. Trying to keep all that positive going.

Happy, I've got my fingers crossed for you!!!! Maybe you'll be our next !!!!

Mama that does sound like a good place to be at. Your friend is right. And good for you for being so optimistic. This is def a hard journey. One I never thought I would be going down. I'm very lucky to have y'all for support. It'll happen for you Mama. Hey, maybe this time you'll have a regular cycle and o around day 14 and not have to wait so long

I'm not holding out for a BFP. I may have ovulated, may just be a anov cycle. I hope not b/c I'm not up for going back to the dr for Provera again. That stuff makes me crazy and I bleed for like 2 weeks.

 

[elt1013]

Sorry mama, I know how bad you want it and I had a good feeling for you this month! Like you said though...you are in a good place and ovulating, so hopefully it will only be a matter of time.

Happy- I am with you this cycle. I hope we did both ovulate so we atleast have a little chance. Hopefully we won't need a next cycle, but if we do, they better be nice and smooth!

afm- FF has me at 9dpo today, but I am not convinced and not being able to temp the last few days (due to waking several times) has not helped the confusion! I have also had tons of ewcm the last few days, so I don't know if I could be ovulating now or what. Cervix is also wide open, but firm and not really high (just medium), so I am just totally lost on this one! I had some major moodiness(poor DH) the last 2 days, but today I was in a great mood, so maybe AF is on her way? Just wish something would happen already!

 

[elt1013]

Temp way down today, so I definitely haven't ovulated yet. It kind of sucks to go from 9dpo one day to not even having ovulated yet the next!

How's everyone else?

 

[MamaMac123]

Ugh sorry Elt it is so frustrating when our bodies don't cooperate and leave us questioning everything. I hope something happens soon!

Afm - massive temp drop again this am. Yesterday my bleeding was all brown and mostly spotting so I held out a tiny bit of hope it could just be breakthrough spotting as temp was still above cover line and last night it was back up pretty high. But it was small hope haha so it's all good. Def into full AF today witch Off to fill my clomid refill!

 

[HappyCpl]

Elt I'm sorry yours is so confusing too. Sounds like we are in the same boat for sure. My temp is back up above 97 and has been there consistantly these last few days but ff won't give me crosshairs. Like you, I'm having lots of EW/Watery CM. I could jut now be ovulating with you (or trying to). This has been one of my longest cycles in awhile for sure.

I hope at least one BFP comes out of all this for us!

Mama good luck with this cycle. You'll probably be OV with Elt and I ever at the rate we are going. Lol.

 

[HappyCpl]

Another BFN today. Temp went down a little more but I'm still above 97. I'm guessing I probably don't OV until sometime between days 27-31. I'm having lots of cramping these last couple of days paired with lots of pressure. It so feels like the witch. I just wish she would come on already if she's coming...

 

[MamaMac123]

Happy - I swear you may have pcos. Your chart looks so much like mine when I'm not on meds. I hope something happens soon!!!

My temp shot up this am but still lower than it was post ov. AF still rearing her ugly witchy head. But over all I'm still feeling good and positive about where I'm at. Got my clomid and will start that on Friday

 

[runnergrl]

Mama-you have the best outlook and attitude. I commend you for that. I know you are struggling with frustration and why hasnt it happened yet.. I know all of you are. Its a very difficult thing, TTC!!!
to you all and to everyone!!

 

[HappyCpl]

Mama I wonder that myself. I have asked the dr and he says based on my ultrasound I don't. We also have to keep in mind I ha a busted thermometer until this last week and a half or so. Since then things seemed to have evened out some. I honk part of my ovulation issue is my weight. I'm trying to lose it and I hope while I lose t my cycles start to regulate. Also, as much as I don't want to do it, I'm contemplating surgery for my endometriosis. I dread it b/c my last one didn't I well, but I think it's well over due.

 

[elt1013]

Hello ladies,

Mama- you do have such a great attitude...love you for that!

Happy- I'm sorry you have to be in the same boat as me, but for all this confusion and frustration, certainly we are owed a BFP along with Mama!

afm- I don't know if I need to stop charting all together or what. I never had a cycle over 32 days in my life before I started charting. I am now on CD38 and also had that really weird 56 day cycle awile back. I don't know if it's just the stress of the charting and ttc together or what? I really don't want to stop charting because it is really helpful and I feel like I know more about my body than ever before, but I'm not sure how to do it and not stress out about it. I have been trying to be as relaxed as possible, but according to my cycles, it's not working. Hmm, maybe I need to start meditating or something, lol.

 

[Hann12]

Mama I agree with the other girls that you have a fab attitude and I'm sure its going to happen soon for you!

Elt - it could be the stress but to be honest if it was me I'd ask a doctor as it seems a bit unusual to have 2 long cycles. It could be worth getting some bloods taken anyway.

Happycpl - hope you ov soon, again a strange cycle for you but hopefully it will happen soon.

Wheres banana? Hope you're okay!

Runnergrl - hope everythings going well and yay to hitting the 12 week mark!

Tomorrow I'm 27 weeks and according to some websites, I enter the 3rd trimester. Its weird that its happened so fast, only 13(ish) weeks to go. Still no real inkling on what this baby is - girl or boy. I've been told that my bump has come out a bit in the past week so I look pregnant now apparently. Started to get a bit more organised too but still loads to sort out but figure I have plenty of time!

 

[runnergrl]

Hann- you are just now showing at 27 weeks? I have a bump at 12!

 

[Hann12]

Hann- you are just now showing at 27 weeks? I have a bump at 12!

Lol I've had a bump but not very noticeable, its definitely noticeable now!

 

[runnergrl]

can you post a pic? I'm sure all the other ladies would love to see too

 

[Hann12]

Here you go - just taken - 2.5 hours off being 27 weeks

 

[Hann12]

Oops not sure why its sideways!

 

[runnergrl]
