Vitamin B6 - Lengthen luteal phase or increase progesterone

[LLPM]

So FF put my ovulation day as CD23, making me 3dpo (thinking it might have actually been CD24 though) my temps are pretty close to the cover line though, my highest post ovulation temp is 97.90, maybe it will keep rising but it seems low to me? Anyone else reckon its low or just me? I have my CD28 progesterone test on Saturday (4-5dpo) so I guess we'll see what those results are! I'm feeling positive but not getting my hopes up! FF put my test date as the 16th so 8days from now which doesn't seem so long to wait.

Yay, congratulations faithlovehope!!

Sorry to hear that joeys! Your time will come.

Can't believe your scan is that close Bean!!

Yeah I believe I have already O'd but FF hasn't confirmed it yet, my CM has been a bit all over the place though and had a few days lf ewcm then it dried up then had loads again yesterday. My temp hasnt shot up yet but is starting to rise slowly. This is my last cycle to get less than a 2year gap between dd2 and next bub! Only 2pregnant neighbours but there's 4 of us trying. (we live in a block of units with 8 other couples - were all very good friends!!)
my big girl turns 3 this month, can't believe how fast it's gone! Enjoy your pregnancies because before you know it that era is over and you have a bubbly preschooler running around, it all just goes incredibly fast! are you going to find out what you're having bean & sotiredmama? We think we'll find out next time, we didn't with the girls (I loved the surprise!) but we have an abundance of girly clothes and if we had a boy the poor thing would be dressed in pink! Also hubby would love a boy and would want to know before delivery as he doesn't want to disappointed at the time baby would be born! Anyway we need to get pg first! Haha.

It's great that you have friendships with your neighbours. I'm hoping we met more people in the area once we have kids. We aren't going to find out. My DH kind of wants to but not so much. I want to know but don't at the same time. I much prefer it when fiends don't know. So we are going to wait. It'll be worth it.

You'll be pregnant soon.

I have felt the baby move like 4 times today! That is CRAZY. I also look (at 11 weeks) pretty much the way I did at 20 weeks with my first! I know this stuff is supposed to happen sooner with the second, but really?!

That's so crazy. I can't wait to feel movement. I may actually start to feel pregnant. My belly is rounding already and this is my first. Although I think it is mainly bloat. I'm also eating far to much. I feel I can treat myself to naughty things like dessert as I;m not drinking.

Wow that super early to feel it! I felt dd2 at 14weeks and everyone said that was early! Also I put weight on really quick with #2 but then i didn't put any on after 20 weeks!! Only put 9kgs on for the whole pregnancy so don't worry. Running around after a toddler keeps it off. my friend just got back from her first ultrasound, she's 8 weeks and bub has a strong heartbeat! So excited for them!

You didn't put on any after 20 weeks and only 9kg. I'm really hoping I can have sensible weight gain. I'd been a bit greedy in the months before we conceived so I was already a few kgs more than I normally am. All worth it. But not looking forward to being in a bikini in 6 weeks.

So FF put my ovulation day as CD23, making me 3dpo (thinking it might have actually been CD24 though) my temps are pretty close to the cover line though, my highest post ovulation temp is 97.90, maybe it will keep rising but it seems low to me?

Everything crossed for you.

bean i am so happy for you!

I am doing ok kind of sad but can't do anything about that. Go in for my day 3 u/s so talk to the dr again. i am just looking forward to the end of the month hd and i are going to mn twins baseball games so i am prett excited about a little trip!

 

[Bean66]

Hey Ladies,

How is everyone?

Joeys - Sorry you are sad. This TTC is so hard. I'm glad you have something good to luck forward to. How did the day 3 US go?

 

[LLPM]

Hi ladies, how are you all? I'm now 7dpo, feeling good. I had a nice weekend away to Canberra, DH finishes college in December so we're applying for jobs, went down for an interview yesterday.
I think my charts looking pretty good, had a temp rise again today. Will find out the results of my progesterone test on Tuesday hopefully. I ended up having it 3dpo though as we were going away.

 

[LLPM]

so much for "feeling good", I now have major cramping like AF is going to show soon! I know not to put it down to potential implant, so will expect AF to arrive tomorrow at 8dpo (not too unusual for me!) I know I'm not out yet until it actually shows but I'm fairly sure it's on it's way!

Hey Ladies,

How is everyone?

Joeys - Sorry you are sad. This TTC is so hard. I'm glad you have something good to luck forward to. How did the day 3 US go?

Bean it went ok she kept the letrozole for 10 days like last cycle. so i am hoping that is a good thing. otherwise she said everything was looking good i just hope this one works. how are you feeling?

good luck llpm! fx for you!

 

[Bean66]

Fingers crossed Joeys.

LLPM - your chart looks good. Fingers crossed its not AF cramps. I got cramping before my BFP.

I'm good. Well, I'm tired and gained weight so feel a bit crappy but otherwise good. I know I shouldn't worry about my weight I should just be thankful that I'm pregnant. I'd gained some weight before my BFP (over indulgence), if I hadn't I'd be fine. Not going to be beach ready in 6 weeks. Sorry I sound so ungrateful.

 

[LLPM]

9dpo and no sign of AF, don't want to get my hopes up, but this is the longest luteal phase I've had without AF symptoms. my temp was still up at 98.17 this morning.

 

[Bean66]

Charts looking amazing!!

I have everything crossed!!

 

[LLPM]

Yeah I know! Thankyou! It's hard not to get hopeful. Got the progesterone test results back, Dr said it was 28 and within normal range for that time in my cycle. I have no idea and he seemed a bit clueless (one of those typical drs who refuse to accept that you can ovulate late in a cycle!) but normal sounds fine to me!
I had a Chiro appointment booked for today but he wanted to take X-rays, and I didn't want to risk it if I am pregnant! So I cancelled - will feel silly if I a get a BFN but it's just not worth it to me! Anyway I have everything crossed, I'm paranoid about every cramp but I was super crampy with dd2 from really early on and all was fine!
Can't believe you're almost 12 weeks bean!! How long till your scan? So exciting!!

 

[Bean66]

Yeah I'd say 28 is normal esp for only 3dpo.

Why does the chiro want to x ray you? I'm an Osteo and don't believe people should be x-rayed unless it is really necessary (no response to treatment/lack of diagnosis). Otherwise the negatives (radiation) way outway the positives. That's just my opinion though.

Your chart still looks good. Still got everything crossed.

Today is scan day!!!!!! I'm petrified and excited. Not until this afternoon, hoping the day passes quickly.

Joeys - how are you?

Sotiredmama - :wave:

 

[LLPM]

Oh yay! Hope it all goes well, I'm sure baby will be just perfect! It's so amazing seeing this little bean jump around inside you!

They think I have mild scoliosis, I'm also hyper flexible so they find it really hard to manipulate me. I think he wants to check that the treatment he's giving me is actually helping so I was supposed to have a manipulation and then have the X-ray straight after!

I think I'll be super excited if my temps still up tomorrow!

Have you announced pregnancy to everyone or have you been waiting til this scan??

 

[Bean66]

Alot of people know. Only close friends that I socialise with and family.

I feel funny telling people.

I'm hypermobile too. Exercise is your best bet. Keeping you spine and core strong. Pilates is good, as it a stong form of yoga, as long as you don't take advantage of your flexibility. I'm very sceptical of the use of x-rays. I think they use them more as a marketing tool. If you are hypermobile you shouldn't be over manipulated anyway. There are other ways to see if treatment is helping. Do you get pain?

Sorry if I'm confusing you.

I can't imagine that there is going to be anything there!

 

[joeys3453]

bean! i am doing pretty good. excited my niece turns 5 tomorrow she has called me the last few days all excited for her bday and asking if i am coming it is too cute. then friday have our u/s so we will see how it goes. hopefully we got some good sized follies.

Has anyone heard of drinking lots of water is suppose to help the follies grow?

bean how exciting. when do you go in for the scan?

 

[Bean66]

No idea about water and follicles but generally water = good!

Scan went well. Little Pickle was having a good kick and a wave. So cool. Pictures in my journal.

 

[joeys3453]

yeah that is what i was thinking to so i am trying it but we will see how long that lasts! haha

oh can't wait going to check it out now!

 

[LLPM]

Glad your scan went well!
Never heard of that joeys but water can't hurt!!
Afm, big temp drop this morning so waiting for AF to arrive

 

[Bean66]

LLPM - thanks! Boo to temp drop but another day LP is good. Fingers crossed it keeps improving and you get your BFP!

 

[LLPM]

M LP hasn't improved, it's still only 9days which is what is was when before went on the vits! It's just frustrating not knowing why we aren't getting pregnant, when all the hormone levels are normal and were having well timed BD'ing! I know you've been through this process and understand. Just feel sad.
