Hann - serenity natural progesterone cream just ordered no idea how long it will take was £20 incl. delivery does that sound right got it from progesterone.co.uk.

I'm prob to late for this month, AF had pretty much left the building. She was very light and short this month. She arrived about 11pm Monday night and was pretty much gone by Wednesday night. barely 2 days I'm normally full flow for 3 days and 2 days of medium flow and 1 day of residue/brown blood.... Wonder if its linked to the much lower progesterone results this month??

So when and how are you mean to take this cream??

 

[MamaMac123]

Good question Banana! I'm curious about the progesterone cream too. School us Hann! hehe

Temp still up today so I got my crosshairs. Dotted ones thanks to my stupid opks but sill. I feel pretty confident I did in fact ovulate just worried my hormone levels are lower than thy should be... Not expecting much this cycle but will test next Sat and see what happens.

 

[Hann12]

You should get it in time for next ovulation - so you take 1/8th teaspoon of it and rub it on fleshy areas 12 hours apart from ovulation until expected AF (unless you get Bfp then you continue until you are 12 weeks. I did left arm, right arm, right side of tummy then left, left leg, right leg, left hip, right hip, right side if face, then left, right boob, left boob, right bum, left bum. Then back to the beginning! It works to raise progesterone I am convinced but if you ask a doctor they will tell you that there are no medical studies to prove that - but that's only because no one has done a study!

 

[banana07]

Thanks for that hann. I might get it on time for this cycle if its at ov you start taking it Im cd5 today so another 8 -12 days to ov???

Hello ladies, how is everyone?
Welcome Kittey!

Mama- your chart is looking good and looks like you ovulated after all!

banana- I'm thinking I may try the progesterone cream also. It can't hurt, right?

Happy- how have you been? Ovulation anywhere in sight?

afm- I may have ovulated early, but I'm not sure. I had all the signs on CD12, but that is just too early for me. I did an opk on that day and it was negative, but it did have a very visible line on it, so maybe I missed it. All others since then have had very very faint lines. I haven't had luck with temping either, because I always seem to wake up in the middle of the night and mess it up. I'm just hoping that I did, and I'm not going to have another wacky month.

Mama your chart is looking awesome!!!! Yay for ovulation

I don't think the progesterone cream could hurt. It's worth a try, and it sure worked well for Hann.

 

[Hann12]

Sorry for the delayed reply - yes start taking it the day after you ovulate.

Mama - yay for ovulation!

Elt - hope you did too!

 

[Hann12]

Marie - you're nearly there!!! That's so exciting! Make sure to come back on and tell us when and what you have and hope it goes well!

 

[MamaMac123]

Marie - I'm so excited for you!!!! Remember to come let us know how it all goes! I want to see a pic of that little cutie!!! good luck! What type of birth are you hoping for?

Hann - thanks for the info...any fear of it interfering with other meds do you think? Wondering it its safe to take with my metformin etc.

Elt - hope you ovulated!!! You deserve a nice normal cycle!

Banana - hope the progesterone arrives in time for this cycle! Fx for you! Maybe this is te push you need to get a bfp!

Afm - just hanging in the TWW. Feeling pretty mellow about it. DH and I were talking this weekend and he said we should just stop "trying" and then it will probably happen. I so wish I could do that, but as I told him, we don't really have that luxury because of the pcos and all the meds I have to know where I am in my cycle and if/when I ov etc to know if meds are working or need tweaking etc. I'd love to just stop stressing and see what happens but I don't think that's really good for us with my condition. Sucks.

But while I'm still temping and stuff I'm trying not to be crazy about it all and trying to keep hopes and expectations really low. I feel like from my temps that this ov just wasn't as strong as last cycle as temps aren't as high up there and stuff so not holding out hope really. Just happy to have ovulated. Symptom wise I had some period like cramping Friday night. Felt a twinge of it again this am but not as bad. Other than that in pretty same old same old.

Mama- chart is looking good Marie! you are so close, any day now

 

[banana07]

Hey girls.

Mama - delighted it looks like you have Ov'd. Its unfortunate you can't really take the mellowed out / not trying approach but tbh its not all its cracked up to be!! Its impossible to get rid of any of the info you have stored in your brain no matter how much you try not to think about it!!

Hann - thanks for all the info on the prog cream, it arrived in the post this morning wasn't expecting it for another week nearly I only ordered it on Friday!
Will keep ye all updated and let ye know how I get on!

MarieB - so excited for you - best of luck x

Hi ladies, I tested this morning and of course

Is there anyone that could look at my chart and see what the "heck" is going on? It looks like I didn't ovulate at all.

 

[MamaMac123]

Kitteykat, that's very weird on your chart that you got multiple positive opks. It looks like you did possibly ovulate but possibly not given te double pos. maybe you geared up to it twice but it didnt happen? Temps did go up some so you may have. Is this your first cycle temping? Make sure you're temping the same time each morning and that you always temp before getting out of bed. I have an alarm that goes off at 5 am for temping to make sure I always temp before getting up to use restroom etc. when I first started temping I didn't know any of that and so my temps were all screwy. Sorry if you already know all that

If you're already temping properly then you may want to think about seeing a doc to see if you're ovulating okay. I have pcos so I'm probably really prone to seeing it everywhere but one of the signs of it is for temps to be very erratic. If you look at my chart compared to the other girls here mine are constantly going up and down where if your cycle is normal they stay pretty consistent. If you're not temping same time each morning etc that could easily be causing the erratic up and down temps but if not there could be something going on there that needs checking into.

 

[MamaMac123]

Runner - any news on gender yet?

Banana - yay on the progesterone! Fx of you!!! If it works for you like it did for Hann I'll def be giving it a try!

 

[KitteyKat2010]

Thank you

I have been taking the temp at the same time every morning. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. I have very irregular cycles, so they are going to do some testing, to see why they are so irregular, and see what they can do to fix them, if they can do something.

 

[runnergrl]

We have the gender scan scheduled for March 22nd, so just under 3 weeks away

 

[MamaMac123]

Kitteykat - that's good about doc apt. With irregular cycles and the up and down temps it could be pcos....hopefully you'll get some answers

Runner - yay!!! can't wait to find out!

Afm - same same here...boobs are KILLING me!!! Hurt sooo so bad! But that's typical for me in TWW. I feel like it may be worse than usual but could easily be in my head.

I have noticed yesterday and today I am having to pee a lot. I have to go a lot more often and when I feel like I need to go I really badly need to go. I had to get up 2 times during the night to use the bathroom which I almost never do. My temp is up a bit this am but could easily be from the nighttime potty breaks. Getting a little anxious for testing! 9dpo today!

Mama- That is all sounding really good!

runnergrl- So exciting about the gender scan...bet you can't wait!

afm- Terrible cramps today...I never get cramps except for sometimes right before AF and never even nearly this bad. They have calmed down some now, but I was hurting earlier!! According to my temps and FF, I ovulated when I thought I may have, but I have been fooled before with a few high temps, so I guess I will only really be convinced with a couple more. I know it's way too early for implantation, so I hope I'm not ovulating today, because I am not up to bding right now. Anyone have any ideas what else it could be? My mind keeps wandering to a possible cyst which could explain the wacky cycles the last several months I guess. Everyone keeps saying that cyst pain is more sharp and stabby though and this pain is like really strong AF cramps (no bleeding btw).

 

[MamaMac123]

Elt - sorry about the cramps no fun at all. I think your chart is looking really good. I'd be surprised if you haven't ovulated. Hope you feel better!

 

[runnergrl]

mama-when are you testing?
