[banana07]

Oh your def close then so Elt! Bd anyway just incase you don't get a + !!

K one last check for AF before I go to bed - I know I said I was going 2 hours ago but got engrossed picking out stone for the new house.... Fx she not here meaning I either late or getting a longer lp only 15mins till tomorrow!!!


Nite nite x

 

[Hann12]

That's exciting banana! Hope you wake up to no AF! I'm hopeful for you!

Elt and mama - hope you get your positive opks today!

IsaacRalph - hope you are making the most of yours

Afm - temp still up which is nice. Although I'm expecting it to do its sudden drop on Monday morning - my chart may look like a ski slope lol! Hope I get my test results back today, going to call around 3 for them. I really want them to be good but I know I shouldn't hold out much hope because I don't feel like anything has changed this month! Well it's not long to wait now for me anyway, 3 more days....

 

[banana07]

Hey Hann Thanks Well woke up to no AF and no watery CM. Being a pesimest still feel totally out cause I'm prob just getting a longer LP which is of course good and last month might have been a one off short LP month (remember it was my first cycle in 5 years). Plus what I read about using B6 for a short LP was that bc (I had mirena coil in) reduces the amount of B6 for a while after coming off it so maybe its just getting longer itself since coil removed end of May. So i suppose its not all bad news but just rotten to think your finally at the end of the awful awful 2ww to find out you have another 3-4 days left!! So I'm 12dpo now today so worst case scenario I have had a 11day lp...

Issacralph - hope DH's early birthday present went well!!!

Elt & Mamamac - Fx crossed ye get your +OPKs this weekend

Now of to do a bit of work (by which I mean putting everything on the long finger while I google to find out where the hell AF is!!) Figure if she not here by Monday (am sure she will be here earlier tho) I'm late that would be a 14day lp...

Banana this is getting exciting!! Even if AF does come you have got a longer LP so it means that you stand a much better chance next month, if there is one! Keep us posted!! Are you not going to test until Monday?

I've had a bit of cramping this morning and gassy feeling, trying not to get my hopes up!

 

[banana07]

Hey Hann. Yeah I just feel her coming but I've been saying that this last 2 days oh she's just around the corner. Same as other months I have 2 really bad days before she comes exausted, sick, crying. I never normally go to bed till 11.30/12 but last 2 months in the last 2 days before AF comes I have to go to bed at 9.30/10 did the same this week, which is why I felt her coming. Am usually fine then when she is here its the run up to her that I do feel rotten and tired and sick etc..

My boobs are still really sore esp the nipples this usually goes 2 days before she arrives...

Oh I dunno anymore.... !!!

 

[IsaacRalph]

How exciting banana test test test! Good luck hun sounds promising

Han- your symptoms sound promising too, fx'd you'll both get your bfps

Yeah last night went well, dh was a bit shocked when he came home from work,pleasantly so though! Think you could say he enjoyed it & it payed off! Scheduling some bding this avo when ds is in bed & tomoz avo then that will be our attempts over this month x

 

[Hann12]

Lol banana - I have good hopes for you!
I'd like to think its my turn but at least I have the appointment on Monday if it's not.

Yay Isaacralph! Glad you had fun and have covered yourself for this month. Fx!

 

[banana07]

Ha Issac - sounds great - go you keeping ttc fun!!!

All my fingers and toes are x for you Hann

Dying to test but couldn't handle seeing another BFN - Will hold out as long as I can but it just took all my willpower not to hop into the car and buy some tests - I know there no point unless it fmu esp if I'm just on a longer lp.

Plus I kinda know if I take it AF will arrive - I remember before I was preg with DS every 3/4 months I'd panic and think i was pregnant (didn't want to be) would take a test ( 12 bloody euro!!) and boom there she would be couple of hours later once I relaxed about the whole thing. So as much as I want her to come if she is coming - I know it willl end my teeny weeny glimmer of hop I have!!! Cannot Win!!!

 

[banana07]

Omg its only 11.30am..... Longest day of my life....... I just want to blink and wake up immediately tomorrow morning with no AF......

So Hann even tho we went off track this month being buddies cause of cycle lenghts (we were exact same last month) look like we together again I'd Say AF will have to show by Sunday/Monday.... Are you going to hold out testing till Monday???

 

[MelloYello]

Ok....9DPO today and I'm trying my hardest to wait until the weekend to test nut the temptation is killin me!! LOL. Good thing I have work to keep me distracted or I would be goin nuts. Well....even nuttier than I already am. LOL. Tryin 2 stay strong n tough it out but this is rough.

Well....I have some excellent news - no bfp that would be crazy at 7po BUT I just got my test results back, last month my progesterone level was 10, they said they confirm ovulation at level 20 but the ideal is over 30......mine was 38! I know that some people are in the 50's and 60's but the fact that its well over the confirmed ovulation amount and over the ideal and its triple what it was last month has me so happy!
And so Banana if AF doesn't arrive on Monday I will test then as it will be 10dpo which will be very early for me to get a positive to be honest as I only had a faint positive with my DD at 12dpo and she implanted at 9dpo, however as I have the consultant appointment that day I will test just in case. Otherwise I would wait until 12dpo. If its negative it may not mean I'm out though so I'll probably wait until 12dpo if I get there and my progesterone holds. I really hope it doesn't suddenly crash down again!

 

[Hann12]

Also just had some really sticky and thick cm - not normal at all and more cramping. I know I shouldn't get my hopes up but I am a teeny bit excited! I really hope this is the month!!

 

[banana07]

Oh Hann - I was just beeming with smiles when I read your post - been a while since there was any exciting news on here. Just delighted for you - great start to your weekend (even cheered me up a bit!!). Well I went into town at Lunch and couldn't resist buying 2 tests. Killing me not to go to bathroom straight away but I know i'm only wasting money not using fmu. Its 6 years ago so I'm sure my memory isn't great but I don't remember cramping with DS and I have loads of crappy cramps all this week cause I remember waiting for AF praying she would come but i never even felt like she was coming I knew she wasn't coming but I also remember after I confirmed I was preg the doc said it was still very early days and I could just end up with a big period and I had serious amount of watery cm cause I ran to the loo every 5 mins thinking it was AF but she never came - devestated at the time but wouldn't change a thing now!!!

Speak of which must nip to the loo now and see if she has appeared yet... I'm only 1 day later than last month but feel about a week late the way I'm reacting!!!

 

[Hann12]

Thanks banana that's such a nice message! I really hope that tomorrow you get your BFP - I think it all sounds good! Will be waiting for your post!

 

[elt1013]

Isaac-I am glad your night went well and I bet DH was pleasantly surprised. It is always nice to step out of the routine bding and do something different!

Hann- OMG...your news is so exciting! Hopefully this is your month, but even if it isn't, you are well on your way! So, maybe a possibility that the b vits helped?? I guess we will see! I am so happy for you, and like banana, this also gives me hope and cheers me up!

banana- what symptoms did you have with DS? I wouldn't count yourself out yet...the things I remember with DD was the really sore boobs and cramping for several days before AF was due. Those are AF signs but also really great preggo symptoms!! Why can't the symptoms be cut and dry, af or preggo? Oh, I know why...because that would just make this too easy for us. Even if no BFP...hopefully your LP will be 12+ days!

Mello- Good idea to keep yourself busy...test time will be here in no time. My poas addiction kicks into high gear about 6dpo...hehe, way too early I know, but I can't help it! Good luck!

AFM- same as yesterday...still stark white opks, but we have bd the last 3 nights an will try to continue for the next 3 nights! I asked DH if he thinks he can keep up for a few more days and he said "oh yeah", so I don't think he is too upset about having to bd so many days in a row, lol. But then again, he would have sex everyday all month if we could!

 

[IsaacRalph]

elt- wow your hubby must be loving it, my dh can manage 4 days max, then I don't think he really likes it come the 4 day, he literally nearly has a coronary, bless him! keep it up hun

han- good news about your prog levels, do you know if there's any ideal levels?? interested as I had mine done few year ago & mine were 78 & Dr did comment that they were high, guess that's why I have a longer LP & get pms really bad as I just pump it out! not sure if i'll make my day 21 bloods as hopefully we'll be in cornwall camping if weather holds out! fx'd that its your month babe

banana- any sign of bfp or AF yet? so excited for you either way as things have improved for you, Yippee! more excited for a bfp though

Afm- had the most painful BD ever today, think I must've ovulated or will be ovulating today! omg it literally killed me, sharp pains each time dh entered me (tmi sorry). pain coming from left ovary so think its this one I'm ovulating from this month! strange findings I always ovulate sooner from left side & get shorter cycle, from the right longer cycles & later ov, am I weird for knowing this?? anyway pains are much better now just tender & bding was still a success!

I think 78 is very high - i think most people it's in the 30's or 40's but it doesn't matter as long as its over 30. I know you can produce too much progesterone and it can signify hyper stimulation of an ovary but I think the numbers are over 100 to show that - unless you are pregnant with twins when over 120 is the norm apparently!

Great that you have covered your bases for this month FX

Elt - wow your hubby has stamina! Mine is done after 3 days in a row, could prob do 4 but it would have to be a quickie! You have covered yourself anyway regardless of the lack of positive opk so hopefully you will be fine!
Just watch your temps I guess!

Banana - any news? So excited to hear from you in the morning!

Still got cramps but not reading much into it

 

[banana07]

Oh I don't know - went to the loo there 99% she had arrived but nothing not a drop. Last 2 times she came there was no spotting or anything she just came straight in with a heavy flow. Have cramps not really painful just constantly uncomfortable. I just wish I knew either way. There is no point testing to night is there - I've drank about 2ltrs of water and mostly this after noon (now 8.30pm here)..... If she doesn't arrive this eve its going to be a long 12 hours waiting for morning. Ah I don't know really don't want to get my hopes up - I cannot handle disappointment - hence why I'm such a pessimist - expect the worst and never be disappointed!!!

Just realised this is CD31 thats quite long isn't it??

So AF came on Wednesday 1st August (CD1) - I O'd on Sunday 19th Aug (CD19) Today is Friday 31st August (CD31) so am 12dpo just want to clarify so I know how accurate test is in morning (if I even get to take it AF could still show before then....)

Wow elt - DH is same as rest of guys posted 3 - 4 days and he's out!!! Lucky you, I'd be at it nearly every night if I could get away with it!! - Hopefully your OPKs are just crappy but I'd say your we'll covered anway!!

Issac I had that last 2 months around Ov time - really painful - physically felt like my cervix was way lower and could feel everytime it was hit!!! (TMI... Sorry). Fx you catch the eggy!!!!

One of us is bound to get it this cycle... Who have we left now, me, Hann, Elt, Issac, MelloYello, Mamamac (where is mamamac!!!), Have I missed anyone of the top of my head???




Good or Bad I'll post in the morning....

 

[Hann12]

Banana the good news is that you have a 12 day LP at the minimum so even if you do get AF it means you will have a great chance next month! Hopefully you have done it this month though! Good luck for the morning!

I'm putting the whole thing out of my mind until mon when I have to think about it as have my appointment and AF is due then! Judgement day!

Yeah it does seem high doesn't it han?? Maybe I ovulated twice that cycle wasn't on any treatment at the time! I have always had pms though so guessing mine is just a bit on the high side?? Can't remember now if it was month I got pg first time around, umm not sure now?? I'll have to get it done next month if we're away!

Banana- good luck for the morning, routing for you here!
