Who's ttc no.2, who's with me? 4 BFP's!

[tigerlilly]

I think it's game over for us my cycle over the last four months have got shorter and shorter. Used to be 31 days so far has been 31, 27, 24 I got a pos opk on cd 8

 

[Mrs W 11]

If you ovulate early but still have a long enough lutuel phase you can still get pregnant. I know a girl on bnb who ovulated cd8 and has 2 kids xx

 

[tigerlilly]

How are you Mrs w?

 

[Mrs W 11]

I'm ok Hun. Currently in the tww of cycle 6 after mc. No idea how many dpo I am tho, somewhere between 6-11 days I'd guess. Just trying not to think about it too much otherwise I get really down.

How are you doing? Xx

 

[tigerlilly]

Hugs sending lots of love. I'm ok, frustrated, fed up, you name them thats me. Got everything cross for you xxxx

 

[Mrs W 11]

I feel exactly the same way Hun. Af got me on Friday. So so sad. X

Hey ladies. can I join the fed up club?? Doesn't look like I'm ovulating this cycle, I'm cd 33 and I definitely haven't ovulated. My cycles are usually 33/34 days long so I don't know what is going to happen, I read that some women still get a period wait and wait and see if ovulation happens. Hate this!!!! Have made an appointment with my doctor, its not til the 16th though... despite not ovulating, so wondering if I will or whether I'm just going to have to

 

[Mrs W 11]

Similar happened to me last cycle and I just ovulated quite late. Are you taking anything or doing anything differently? I tried taking royal jelly last cycle and I think maybe it was that. I know sometimes it can randomly happen though and agree its so frustrating.

I've joined the clearblue trial this month and I'm just hoping for a normal cycle!

 

[Cookie1979]

I was taking inositol, which is supposed to be good for women with pcos...so I'm wondering if it was that. I have stopped taking it just incase. I've had ewcm on and off since I was supposed to ovulate, but its not clear, its more white in colour. I'm going to keep monitoring my cm and keep on charting my temp, hopefully I will ovulate eventually.

Good luck with trying clear blue, I hope you have a normal cycle this month. Nothing more frustrating than waiting for ovulation and it not arriving.

Hoping this lack of ovulation is a one off, usually I ovulate without a problem. I'm especially annoyed because I've lost 32 lbs altogether, and with having PCOS weightloss is the key so my cycles should be getting better not worse.

[Mrs W 11]

Wow that's such a big weight loss achievement! Well done Hun. Amazing. Hopefully you will ovulate soon and catch that egg!

Keep us posted!

I'm cd7 today, a while till I ov yet and only 3 weeks until my original due date

Thank you!

How are you ladies doing?

I'm on cd 43 and I still haven't ovulated...I'm pretty close to repeatedly banging my head against a brick wall. I've got a Doctors appointment next week so going to see if I can get some help. Hopefully can get referred to a fertility specialist, also will find out if it's worth inducing my period, and possibly see if I can start taking Metformin, which is supposed to be good for PCOS. Previous cycles I seem to have ovulated, and I only got ewcm in the run up to ovulation, this cycle I have been getting it regularly since I was orginally supposed to ovulate. Theres just a whole lot of nothing going on with my body, well apart from getting spotty which I can only assume is caused by hormones!

 

[Mrs W 11]

Hey Hun, gosh it's so frustrating isn't it. I'm only cd14 but no signs of ov here either and it was late last cycle so looks like this cycle will be the same.

I hope the dr will help you, how long have you been trying now? Mine won't do anything yet, it's so upsetting when you think something is wrong but have no where to turn.

Have you tried soy? It is meant to be very good for people with long cycles to regulate them and get you to ovulate on time.

 

[Cookie1979]

Hey Mrs W, we started trying June last year, so it's been a year and a month. Had abit of progress, last night I noticed I had a lot of ewcm so I thought I'd do an opk and it was positive!! So I'm hoping that I am ovulating today, will have to wait and see what my temps do, but I haven't had a positive opk since the cycle before last!! I have been thinking about Soy, where would I get it from?

How long have you been trying? I hope you ovulate soon.

I'm told my age might get things moving abit quicker and when you are 35 and older you only have to have been trying for 6 months, so I've been trying double that.

When I first started trying I joined one of the groups on here of people trying for their second, every single one of those women have either had a second baby or is pregnant, really gets me down that I'm the only one still trying.

xx

 

[Mrs W 11]

Hey Hun, I know how you feel, most of the people on the threads I joined when I started ttc have got pregnant or had a baby by now too.

I started ttc last October, got a bfp first cycle in November but found out I'd have a mmc in January. I've been ttc for 6 months since the mmc and had 6 unsuccessful cycles. It's so hard.

You can buy soy isoflavines from holland and Barrett or I think even places like tesco and asda. I believe you take it from cycle day 2-6 and it regulates your cycles. Worth a try if you have irregular cycles at the moment.

Brilliant news that you are currently ovulating. I also had my opk opk today so I'm just behind you! Cycle buddies! How are you feeling now?

Xx

 

[Cookie1979]

I'm not 100% I've ovulated, ff is saying yes but my temps aren't that accurate, I drank on Friday night and I read that drinking can elevate your temps, then on Saturday I did a 13 mile midnight walk, so only got 2 and a half hours sleep before taking my temp. Todays temp was down so assumed I wouldn't get cross hairs but I did, so I guess I just need to go with it and hope that ovulation has happened.

My cm has dried up, which is the first time all cycle so that's a good sign.

Hope this cycle is your cycle...will you test early or wait and see if af arrives? I have some cheapie hpt's but wonder if I should chuck them out.

Looks like I did ovulate, here is my chart:

My Ovulation Chart

So 4 dpo today. How many dpo are you?

[Mrs W 11]

Hey cookie! Great news that you did ovulate, do you think you covered dtd pretty well? Fingers crossed! Are you a symptom spotter in the tww or not? I try not to as so many months I've convinced myself I'm pregnant when I wasn't!

I ovulated yesterday or day before so a few days behind you, I'm 1-2 dpo. I never test early as af keeps coming early at 10 dpo so I never get close enough!

 

[Cookie1979]

I used to be a real symptom spotter, but now I just don't see the point. I don't bother going in to 2ww section and I don't google symptoms, because no matter what you are experiencing someone who got their bfp would have experienced it and it means absolutely nothing. I'm 6 dpo today, and I've got some niggly cramps, but I get that kind of thing from my ibs and its hard to tell if its my ibs or ovaries, so I just put it down to ibs. Nothing else going on though, no sore boobs yet, nothing funny going on with my cm...just a whole lot of nothing, which I'm not taking as a good or bad sign as I've had so many symptoms in the 2ww and it meant nothing.

Went to the doctor yesterday, she wants me to have blood tests to check my hormones and if I'm ovulating, so I've got the first booked for 30th July which will make me cd 3 or 4 I think, then need to book around cd 26, she said to base it on a 33 day cycle, cos I said I hoped that this extremely long cycle was a one off. She also wants my hubby to get his swimmers tested, first of all he was fine about it, then he comes home and moans that I'm telling him he has to have it done without asking...my text said 'the doctor would like you to get your swimmers tested, would you be willing to do it?' If that's not asking I dont know what is!!! I think he was just in a grump. He reckons there's no point him having the test, because if his swimmers are no good then we aren't going to be able to do anything about it, I see his point but still would put our minds at rest to know all is ok. I really need to get him some vits though, zinc I know is good for sperm quality, I think there is another that is supposed to be good...I'll google and pop to town I think. He always used to joke that he has super sperm as I fell pregnant twice without us trying, and with me having PCOS its quite unusual to fall that easily.

Do you chart your temperature? Really finding it quite easy these days, when I did it last year I'd worry about waking at the right time or waking in the night and making temps inaccurate and I found because I worried I wasn't sleeping very well, but I've found actually even if I do wake in the night or I sleep later I still manage to pinpoint ovulation, I think the extremely long cycle helped because I've been taking my temp for so many days, I just take my temp without thinking about it now.

Lets hope this cycle we are both successful! Fingers crossed xx

Oh my goodness. we are totally stunned.
