ttc since January 2014, anyone to chat with me?

[Mrs W 11]

Hmmm yeh that does look better with that temp. A more definite biphasic chart. So tricky, you'll never really know. I think cd13 looks better on your chart but I'd go with cd15 and assume you're 2 days behind because testing too early is just stressful. Xx

Blah! Lol ok changing it back so as to not confuse myself or anyone else!
Either way, still only have three bd that may stand a chance. Im going to poas on saturday so 7 or. 9 dpo lol only because we are going out or dinner and i want to be in the clear before enjoying my wine!

 

[Mrs W 11]

I think you're covered whichever date you oved. Both times I've been
Pregnant before I've dtd every other day only!

9 dpo could be too early, with my dd she implanted 10 dpo as I had a bleed, bfn 13 dpo and bfp 14 dpo. Worth a try but don't be disheartened if its bfn there will still be time xxx

 

[Mississippi03]

Not expecting a bfp then, but it will make me feel ok to enjoy my wine

 

[Mrs W 11]

I'm going to drink wine this weekend as well. I figure if I were pregnant I haven't even implanted yet so hopefully it is ok to have a few. I always have before until I get a positive of course, then I don't touch a sip. X

hi everybody, mrs w invited me to join you ladies on your ttc journey, as i am on one of my own as well! i am starting cycle #9 of ttc for the first time- i had no idea it would take so long and so many tears! i'm looking forward to learning with you and supporting you on our parallel journeys

 

[lola33]

Hi duckie and welcome !! tell us more about you ! are your cycle regular? do you temp?
missi and mrsW, I enjoy a glass of wine (or two) once a while too!

 

[duckie4]

thanks!

i'm on cycle #9 ttc now (cd 2). each cycle has ranged from 24-26 days. unfortunately, i don't usually see a +opk until cd14... and when i temped, i didn't see a rise until around cd15-16, and even after that they are not consistently elevated. this has left me with a pretty short LP!

after about 6 cycles, i did talk with my ob/gyn (and because i work in health care) i convinced him to let me do a few rounds with clomid to provoke a stronger O. the clomid lengthened my LP by about one day each of those two cycles, although i still spotted the day before AF arrived (not to mention the acne and hot flashes!). he also gave me an order to get dh a semen analysis just in case, tho we have not done that yet.

i did a few cycles with raspberry leaf tea... i've taken a B complex vitamin (along with my prenatal, a fish oil, and calcium) for the last 3 cycles... we have preseed... timing of and dtd is DEFINITELY not an issue (lol) ... i have used OPKs most months, and have temped a few cycles but just don't have the same wake up times especially on weekends. i'm really wondering if i have a progesterone problem with my short cycles and early spotting.

anybody else have a similar situation or any suggestions? where are you all at with your journey?

 

[Mommabrown]

Miss - hmmm it's hard to tell when you oved as you don't have an obvious pattern but having said that your current temps defo look like post ov temps to me so I think you did ov and I still think cd15. Your post cd13 temps aren't high enough IMO.

I'm in the same boat tho and I kind of like not knowing how many dpo I am because I have to go with the flow!!

Tuesday I agree with the others, if you don't get your rise tomorrow it might be the next day or the day after but i do think it will be in the next few days. Ff will usually take 3 days (if your first rise is high enough) to show cross hairs. So early next week you should see your cross hairs if you get a rise tomorrow or the next few days.

Lola good luck, hopefully you've timed it well too. Maybe us all being confused is a good sign!

Momma how are you doing? Are you ttc this cycle?

I am good. I think I already had a feeling when my numbers weren't very high at 15 DPO. It seems it's easier knowing I can get pregnant and I have Emmaleigh to help keep me busy. Thank you for asking btw!

Welcome Duckie!!! It took me 15 months after a MC to get pregnant with my DD. Hang in there we are all here for you!

thanks!

The B complex helped with my CM. I approached this last month with the carefree attitude and I got pregnant, but sadly lost it. I think I am going to continue the same way and see how it works.

 

[Mrs W 11]

Welcome duckie I'm glad to see you made your way over here!! You'll fit in very well

A few of us here have fairly short lp as well. Mine is 10 days at the moment since my loss. I took a b vit complex for 2 cycles but it made no difference. My dr said that she wasnt worried so I've given up all supplements except folic acid and I'm just having a relaxed cycle. So relaxed that I missed when I oved haha! Oops but we've been dtd so fingers crossed.

Momma I'm glad you're ok. Your positive attitude is great and I'm sure you'll get another bfp very soon.

We are due a sticky bfp on this thread ladies, lets see some this month!!!

Anyone got exciting plans for the weekend?

Xx

 

[lola33]

yep short LP around here too ! Duckie be strong ! you'll get that BFP soon !
No plans for the weekend... I'm working, blah... But I went out with friends last night. what about you?

 

[Mrs W 11]

A weekend chilling at home for us, sorry you have to work.

Bananas are high in vit b6 which is good for the lp as are certain nuts, can't remember which maybe almonds or brazil? Anyway I'm trying foods this cycle to see if they help!! Worth a shot x

 

[duckie4]

what a perfect group of short lp-ers! haha. my ob/gyn seemed to think lp defects were not a real problem, so maybe it'll all happen naturally after all??

bananas and nuts, huh? funny, but perhaps worth a try!

the weather is supposed to be perfect here this weekend, and i get a long weekend off work, so i'm looking forward to kicking back and enjoying a glass of wine with good ol' AF

 

[Mississippi03]

Short lp here to! Went fom 9 to 10 days with b6... Omega 369 increased my cm. not sure if lp will lengthen this time.. Since i missed O and cant calculate, i dont think id be accurate anywho.

I wonder if i have a progesterone problem . I always spot two days before af. This was cycle five for me.. As it was most of us on this thread. I think we are all pretty wonky for this cycle. We will see what happens.

 

[tuesdaysbaby]

We are the short LP club! My acupuncturist seems to think 10 days isn't enough, and I wouldn't ask my GP as they are not specialists in fertility at all. 28 days, ovulate day 14 = pregnant. I'm pretty sure that's what he reckons. I'm looking for a new doctor, one who is more holistically minded but man, are they expensive!

I am so hopeful that the B6 will work to lengthen my LP so that the egg has time to implant.

Didn't know about the bananas and B6! Perhaps I should eat hundreds.

AF should visit me June 4th. I can't tell you how happy I'll be to get past that day with no hideous visit!

I wonder if I have a progesterone issue too Mississ, I'm seeing a naturopath next Saturday so I may ask about some supplements x

 

[Mrs W 11]

Tuesday I think it would be harder to get pregnant with our 10 day lp but still possible. I think the most common days for implantation are 7-9 so most babies would have implanted by cd10 but obviously there will be a few slower fertilised eggs that take longer and we would miss those.

If you think, we see loads of ladies get bfps at 9,10,11dpo and the ago has to have implanted a day or two before giving the hcg time to rise enough for the bfp so it's defo possible with a 10 day lp, just harder.

We can do it ladies.

Duckie, where about are you? My bnb has changed this morning and I can no longer see where people live?! Bank hoo weekend here too and raining, boo!! Enjoy your wine though xx

 

[tuesdaysbaby]

Thanks for that Mrs W, I just want to try and push it out to give them a bit more of a chance. I hope it's a "simple fix" as they say. Actually, I hope nothing is wrong and it's just that this takes time.... which sucks.

That's weird re BnB. I still live in the same place, New Zealand

I'm going to read your posts in an accent now. An accent that is probably entirely wrong but I'll do it anyway

 

[Mrs W 11]

My iPad had changed me from desktop version to mobile version, I've changed it back now.

Ok ill read yours in an accent too then lmao! I confuse nw with auz tho, are the accents very different? X

 

[Mrs W 11]

Ps is it bedtime in nz? It's 10am uk time!
