Vitamin B6 - Lengthen luteal phase or increase progesterone

[Bean66]

Errrrm I know my body well enough to know my fertile time but once I've had 3 days of EWCM and no + I tend to have a break down! Then the next day get my +!

Sotiredmama - I don't think you O'd cd21 either.

Not DO, in the UK it's different. We do 4 years training and lots of medical stuff but not classed as doctors.

I think you have a good shot too sotiredmama! how old is your toddler?

Yes i don't think i am ever going to be that in tune with my body it just does not like cooperating. so i commend the ones that can do that!

thanks about my ss. I hope it is good and turns into a positive. next month will be a year of trying. but feel so much better of all the tests and that everything for bot of us are good.

 

[sotiredmama]

I see. I guess more like a chiro, then (4 years of schooling, manual manipulation, but no residency, no RX'ing and no "doctor" title)? I love my chiro and actually see a DO (which tend to be a little less aggressive in treatment and a little more holistic than MDs).

Can I ask where in London you are? A couple of years ago I spent a week at a friends' who lived by Canary Wharf. Such a lovely city! $$$, though, especially given the exchange rate at the time!

Joeys, she's going on 2. I would really love to have her 2.5-3 when the next is born, but we'll see. I really love having a few years to just spend with her. She's starting to talk in sentences, too, and is starting to really listen and obey. It was really important to me that she be able to understand patience, in particular, before another comes along, since newborns can't and I can't be in two places at once. In some ways, this stage makes me want to pull my hair out (tantrums, anyone?), but in other ways I love it.

oh i go crazy to if i am not getting my + opk and my HD is like don't you know when it is suppose to be considering one month it was cd18 the next cd 25 the next cd15.

oh yes I agree about chiro mine actually practices kenesiolagy? (sp)

 

[Bean66]

I live not too far south of canary Wharf. About 8minutes on the train. A place called Brockley. It's nice and green. Yep London is £££! One of the reasons why I'm 30 and TTC 1. Still don't really have the money but we'll manage. Planning on leaving London soon. Head to Devon to be near the sea and country side.

Osteo's in the UK treat a bit like your Osteos but without the minor surgery/prescriptions etc. Most people see us for musculoskeletal problems but all treat asthma and digestive disorders presuming no red flags. Our chiro tend to have short treatments and primarily manipulate. Osteos do more mobilising, soft tissue work with manipulations but aren't as focused on the spine. We want to promote blood flow and restore structure to restore function.

Joeys - my DH gets annoyed when I'm like go go go and wear him out then im oh i didn't O then go go go again..... Ha ha!

Sotiredmama - I think that's a lovely gap and a great reason. Think I said before but DH wants 3 so don't think we'll be able to have such a lovely gap without me being nearly 40. God that sounds scary. We'll see. I'm not religious but I do believe that things happen when they are supposed to.

Good luck ladies!

 

[joeys3453]

bean OMG that is funny! I do the same to my HD and then he say Oh my back! or that time again wasn't it just that time!

oh that is a good age difference. I guess hd and I are just hoping for 1 we would like 2 no matter if it is a boy or girls we are not going to keep trying if we are blessed with or

i have attached a picture of me and my sisters kids that i just adore. they are always saying auntie jo when you coming to see me!

 

[sotiredmama]

Bean, I loved London, but I did feel like Isle of Dogs was pretty far from downtown if you worked in the city. I dont know anything about Devon, but it sounds lovely.
I do really hope this age gap works out! But I was lucky to be able to have my first in my late 20s, so I'm not feeling too pressured as far as my age goes. We only want 2, also.

Tell your DH to enjoy all the BD'ing! Once the baby comes, things will probably slow waaaaay down.

Joeys, I totally agree about having two. I don't really care what the next one is ... I just want a healthy baby! What a cute picture!

 

[Bean66]

They are so lovely.

 

[joeys3453]

oh thank you and you ladies still sound young. I just turned 34 last month and hd will be 33 in oct. so i am feeling a little pressured. my brother has 3 kids my sister 2.

 

[LLPM]

Hi all, sounds like everyone is going well & trying to be Patient!
Bean, hope you O soon! It's frustrating waiting!

Afm, O was confirmed this morning with FF! I o'd on Sunday and we bd'd Sunday night so fx'd those spermies did their swimming quick enough lol. DH is only 24 so I think in terms of age and statistics and past history his spermies are good!
I o'd on CD24 which according to FF is my average O day, but that was the average before DD2, so it's looking like my body is getting back into the swing of things! so now Officially in the Two week wait!!

 

[DaisyQ]

Joeys, I'm 34 too. Old ladies!

LL, Congrats on O!

 

[Bean66]

You aren't old ladies! In London it's pretty normal. Under 40 and you might as well be a teen mum.

 

[Bean66]

Yay to O LL! Fingers crossed!

 

[sallyjones]

very very thanks for this. It is really very informative post. Good luck

 

[LLPM]

thanks guys! So FF has put my test date at 14th April (13dpo) which doesn't sound so far away thinking that it's almost the 5th already! BUT i didn't get a positive till 14dpo with DD2, so i'm thinking of pushing to the 15th. i'm going to try REALLY hard not to test before then! we're going out west tomorrow, away from shops that sell preggo tests and will be back on the 16th, so thinking i might just not take one with me then i have no choice but to wait. AF is due on the 11th (going by my previous LP of 9days) but being on the Vits i'm hoping it's lengthened it a bit. so the 16th would be good, with the theory that the vits aren't likely to lengthen LP by 5days first month so if i don't get AF while i'm away I'll be in with a good chance! Sorry...i'm totally rambling! the mind of a crazy "i want an answer NOW" person!! haha. anyway that's the plan!!
fx'd for everyone xx

EDIT: also today i have had major stabbing pains in my right ovary - like someone's twisting it round!
i had an ovarian cyst removed last july from left ovary (it grew quite large during my pregnancy with DD2 due to the progesterone levels, but they waited til she was 4months old to remove it) but had no pain since then. could this just be the corpus luteum do you think? i'm paranoid i'll get another cyst and it will grow large again, even though the specialist was quite sure it was a one off thing? any ideas?

 

[sotiredmama]

Honestly, it doesn't really matter when you test. I mean, I'm a big tester and I really enjoy it, but really it's just a matter of a few days in either direction. Knowing a day or two sooner or later doesn't really matter in the long run; you're still just as pregnant or not pregnant no matter when you test, kwim? So test on the 14th or the 16th, which ever you prefer!

 

[LLPM]

yeah i agree, if you're preg your preg! i tested 10dpo with DD2 and got a BFN then was really upset for 4days till i tested and got my BFP. for me i'd rather wait til the test will definately be positive if i'm pregnant rather than getting a BFN and wondering whether it was just too early to test if you get me?! lol. i think that's why i don't want to test too early, if it's a BFN at 15dpo i'll be fine knowing i'm not preg then move on to the next cycle. we'll see!

 

[254]

I'd definitely vote for waiting until the 16th to test, especially since you're going away. I waited until 14dpo (even though my previous period had arrived at 12dpo, and the 17 or so before that came at 6-9dpo) and got a very strong line - it helped me feel so much more positive, not starting off my pregnancy squinting at lines or worrying if they were dark enough.

Best of luck!

 

[ddas]

totally agree with waiting'- a lot less stress!!! . I tested at 9dpo and although bfp it was so faint didn't believe it till saw it on a digital pregnant 1-2 wks. plus still technically haven't missed a period as would have been due tomorrow so still poas every morning to see if lines getting darker which luckily they are. and still have 10 or so cheap internet hpt which am likely to continue to use lol. don't think will really feel completely pregnant till missed a period and then have an early scan.
Also agree that around her (close to london too) anything younger than 35 and people look at you as if you are way to young to be a mum!! annoying when you are in your late 20's and made to feel like a teen mum lol!

 

[joeys3453]

morning ladies yeah i would try not to till the 16. I know I am to test on tuesday the 10 or 9th. with it being easter and out of the office and will be busy doing stuff it will keep my mind busy. my bbs are a little sore today and feel fuller but not sure if it is because period week is next week or that i haven't been working out like i was the last few weeks and gained weight there? my temp is still up on 8dpo. my lower back is sore and a weird feeling in my tummy also slight cramps that come and go on left and right side
