[collie_crazy]

Ahhh get him bedded girl!! Good luck

According to FF I could be in with a chance of still getting a BFP in October - it has me due to O on the 21st so I would be 10dpo on the 31st

 

[Twinkie210]

OK ladies, I need some advice. I was printing my charts to take with me to the Dr. on the 18th, and noticed some kind of worrying things. I read on the internet that if you O after CD21 you are less likely to get pregnant due to old lining and poor egg quality and this can cause poor follicle quality too and a shortened LP. Well I always O CD 21 or later (except this month I O'd on 20). My LP is usually 11 days (it has be 12 and 10 before too) and I usually start spotting at 9 or 10 dpo. Do you think this is part of my problem why I am having trouble getting preggo? Could poor egg quality also be the reason for my Blighted Ovum? I posted this question in the TTC forum and so far the only respons I have got, is it looks normal to me! Really, it doesn't seem normal to me! What do you girls think? How long are your cycles/LP and when do you O?

 

[Twinkie210]

Oh and I have only been TTC a total of 9 months... do you think my Dr. is going to make me wait a full year? Or worse yet a year after my MC?

 

[collie_crazy]

I do think it definitely sounds like something you should talk to your doctor about Twinks. I have heard the same things as you about Oing later and I definitely know about short luteal phases being bad too. Have you looked at any herbal type things to help? I know a lot of people swear by Soy Isoflavones for helping with strong eggs / bringing forward O and thus lengthing the LP so it sounds like it could help you? Its known as 'natures clomid'.

My doctor has told me that the majority of healthy couples should be able to conceive within 6 months - and if they havent then there is a high chance they will need some form of help and recommends they get in touch with her asap so she can try and do what she can - monitoring bloods etc. I think most docs would wait the 12 months to refer you onwards to fertility specialists etc but there are things your general doc can check before hand Thats the UK though not sure how it will be for you. I hope they can help you though!

sorry ladies! I'm with y'all except my issue is that I'm not even ovulating I'm trying to relax and be thankful to God for everything he has blessed me with but I too long for the blessing of a sweet baby. Praying for us......

 

[keepthefaithx]

twinkie i guess talk to him about it.

but i have read i forgot where that if you ovulate later wheather it be stress or whatever your luteal phase will be the same usual length...it depends, def ask him tho

 

[Twinkie210]

Yeah my LP is always about the same, but I read somewhere that ideally you should have at least a 12 day LP when TTC and mine is never that long (OK once I made it to 12 days) but I always O late so I thought maybe the late O was causing the shorter LP. I don't know what my LP would be if I O'd sooner, because I never have!

I havent' tried any herbal supplements, I feel kind of strange taking stuff not perscribed by my doc, but if he isn't concerned about it I might try it. Can you get it at a pharmacy or do I have to buy it off the internet?

 

[collie_crazy]

You can get it at most health food stores. And here you can buy it in the likes of Tesco etc so I would check for it in Walmart or wherever too.

 

[keepthefaithx]

it could be nothing, but if you realy think you have lfd im sure you can talk with ur gyno bout maybe meds to ovulate earlier..

Thanks, I will keep that in mind.

On one hand I hope it is nothing/ but on the other I hope that this is the problem, because then it would be easy to fix and hopefully get pregnant sooner. Crazy huh? It just sucks knowing that you can time BD perfectly and still not get pregnant. It would just be easier if I knew why!

 

[collie_crazy]

Good morning girls! Well its nearly afternoon here I go back to work today. I am slightly freaking out about this - infact I feel physically sick. I'm not sure how I'm going to cope. Its been 11 weeks - you would think I would be stronger. But I'm not.

Need to remember and breathe.

How are we all this morning?

 

[Twinkie210]

Well today seems to be better than yesterday. I still hadn't started AF when I woke up so I took another test, BFN still So still waiting on AF. I had a good cry yesterday, I am not sure why this was so emotional, it's not like I haven't got BFNs before. DH was really nice about it, but I am sure he thinks I am nuts. I hope I can get all the emotions out before I go to the Dr. next week. I seriously hate crying infront of people, but I am so frustrated right now, that is about the only thing I can do! I am hoping I can stay busy at work today and keep my mind off of everything.

Collie- I hope your first day back at work goes well. My first day back after my D&C was awkward. My coworkers didn't know I was pregnant, but they all knew that I had some problems and had to have surgery. So I kept getting these looks like they wanted to ask me what was wrong, but most didn't have the guts. Which is good because I honestly didn't want to discuss it with them anyway. I hope your coworkers are understanding.

You sound like DH, he is like "Ask the Dr, it doesn't hurt to ask, the worst he could say i no."

I forgot it is Thanksgiving in Canada- Well Happy Thanksgiving!

It is Columbus Day here and all the kids are off school, but no I still have to work

Right now I have some major cramping going on, I think it is probably AF starting and she is going to be evil!

 

[keepthefaithx]

we had af club! woohoooooooo

 

[jkb11]

Good morning ladies Collie I hope your first day back at work is going great. Quick Question for you great ladies....I have been taking 3 opk a day Do y'all think it is possible that I some how missed my lh surge. I'm doubting it.

 

[Twinkie210]

You could have, if your pee was too diluted, it might not pick up the surge. But taking 3 a day you would think that you would have picked it up. Do you chart? This would tell you if you missed your surge.
