WTT with a view to TTC in Sept/Oct/Nov - looking for a TTC buddy!

[almosthere]

From what I researched, the dollar store tests like the new choice brand which i use can detect 20 or 25 mui (not sure of units...haha) or preggo hromones. So they are very sensitive. No sign of AF today. Hoping she stays away for 9 mos starting tomorrow, wish me luck!!!!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Good luck hun, I'm cd 9/10 and have had some spotting and feel like AF is on the day.

Good luck - hope she stays away for you x

 

[almosthere]

Thanks sonia! No AF this morning so far!!! And I usually get it in the morning, but that's on BCP's, my spotting for my first AF of BCP's started very late at night. Since no bleeding this AM I decided to test & another BFN!!! This is starting to get to the point where I would be happy to see AF or a BFP now thank you very much! I am still keeping hopeful, as I may have counted my OV day wrong. Really hoping this is it for me. GL to everyone else testing.

This month I have not been tracking ovulation. I've been trying to keep an eye on my cm, but it's hard to tell if it's the good stuff or not because of all that semen! lol. So I just checked on pregnology.com and it said that I should be ovulating TODAY! I have an app in my phone that I use as well and that one says I'll ovulate on Saturday. All the information is the same, so I'm confused!

Anyway... my husband is very sick right now. Probably with the flu, so there will be no BDing tonight. We have bd'd Saturday, Monday and Wednesday, so I should be covered if I am ovulating today, right? I will be forcing the issue tomorrow whether he feels better or not.

And how do you guys recommend timing the bd-ing? We started with the every other day business on CD8...but how long should you keep that up for? I'll probably just do it til AF comes!!

I’m just popping on quickly at work to ask something, so haven’t got time to look at all the other posts. Will read through properly tonight – just didn’t want you to think I was posting all about myself and ignoring you all!!

Anyway, this is waaay TMI, but just had a massive glob of what seemed to be EWCM when I went to the loo (honestly, there was loads)!! Do you think this could mean that AF is only ‘late’ because I haven’t actually ovulated yet? Maybe with it being my first cycle off bc things went a little slower then usual (I’m now CD35). Has anyone ever gotten any of this stuff way after ov, or can you only get it before? I’m all confused!

Could this be ovulation coming up now (I also have backache and a bit of an ache in my lower abdomen) and so I should have lots of BD over the next 3-5 days just in case?

Maybe it’s just worth us presuming it is and having a go, and then give it till around 18th Nov to see whether AF turns up or not. If it hasn’t & still getting BFN, go to the docs then and demand answers!(I would be on CD50!!).

Don’t know if I can bear to wait another 2 weeks though, it’s killing me not knowing what’s happening!!

xx

 

[miss malteser]

I´d definitely treat it as ovulation just in case, especially with the aches in your lower abdomen too. Could you not use an OPK to test?

Before coming off my BCP I read loads of posts about verrrrry long first cycles. It seems to be quite normal.

I wouldn´t bother with the doctor as I doubt they would do anthing until after a few months without AF anyway.

Now get off here and get BDing!!!

 

[mazndave]

Now get off here and get BDing!!!

I think my boss would have something to say about that if I did,!

Right, I shall treat it as ov then just in case, and make sure we bd plenty regardless of how tired we are etc.

Bloomin visiting relatives straight after work as well, so it's going to be at least 8pm before we can get down to it!!

 

[miss malteser]

Good to know that I´m not the only one who spends time on here when I should be working! lol

 

[Soniamillie01]

I wish I could log on at work, my boss would have a fit and also phone signal at work is poor!

Preshfest - the sperm meets egg plan which everyone seems to talk about on here says bd every other day from cd10 (some do from cd8) until +opk, then do it every night for three nights miss a night and then next night. We are going to try it this month (as AF has just arrived) but DH said let's to one night then one morning then one night and so on for the whole month - he might just regret that!

MaznDave - I would treat as ovulation too, can't do any harm!

So . . . AF definitely got me today so the spotting yesterday was her little entrance! It is very different in terms of flow, consistency etc, sorry of tmi. AND she came early just to annoy me even more - 26 bloody days! So was wondering if ovulated day 16 and had a 10 day Luteal (?) phase, is that quite short in terms of giving a ferilised egg long enough to implant? I'm not too worries as only 2 cycle after bd but be curious to know what you think? Some people take stuff to extend Luteal phase - any ideas?

 

[miss malteser]

I´m in the same position - 10 day LP and 2 months off BCP. I know some people recommend Vitamin B6 but I think I´m going to wait another month just to see if my body is still getting back to normal.

 

[Soniamillie01]

Miss malteser - yes I've heard about b6, my multivit with folic has 714% of the rda in it - surely that's got to be enough? I've just rechecked my FF app as well, ovulated cd 16 and today would have been cd26, so classing today as cd1 so cycle was 25 days making Luteal phase 9 days, on her says average is 14 but 10-14 days ok, anything else would make conception difficult.

I'm going to leave it another one like you and see what happens, probably just body settling down but a little worrying really x

Hi ladies. Turns out I did my math incorrectly with my cycle counting. I had a short 25 day cycle from my withdraw bleed to my first real AF off the Pill. IS that accurate to count my first cycle from the first day of my wd bleed? So this means my first cycle off BCPs was a 25DC. This being said, I am a day late! However, I do not want to get too excited, as I am only about 2 months off BCP and I would think my cycle could change from 25 to a 26, 27, or 28 and so on. Hope the witch stays away!

The first month is always tricky.... so it's hard to calculate off of that. But I think if you end up not being pregnant this month, then it's safe to calculate everything based of of how many days your cycle was this time around. But I'm still hoping for that bfp for you!!!!!!!!!

Yes that is what I am figuring at this point. But hoping I don't even get a chance to find out my real cycle!! hahaha.

I know the feeling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Good luck ladies x

 

[almosthere]

Sonia, sorry to hear your AF came, but on the bright side, you will be getting your BFP before me if I get my period soon. Hopefully next times a charm!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Thanks Almosthere. I have everything crossed yours wil come this month and that the horrible, wicked AF stays away. My AF is very different to normal and I normally know she is coming but this time completely out of the blue, I did have cramping but think it was probably too early to be AF brewing. This AF is very clotty, sorry tmi.

Still a bit concerned about the whole Luteal phase thing as if the egg was fertilised my Luteal phase would not be long enough to allow the egg to implant according to my book. I'm going to see how we go on this cycle in terms of length and then may consider taking something to either bring ovulation forward a littlenor extend Luteal phase. I know it's doubtful and I'm clutching at straws and you probably think I'm moaning on but I could well have been pregnant I guess but it didn't stick?

Sorry to blab on just a bit frustrated! Off to work now - thank god it is Friday!

 

[miss malteser]

Sonia, did you count cd1 as the first day of spotting or full flow? If I count spotting I had a LP of only 8 days!! Very worrying! Your multivitamin sounds like more than enough - I`m sure everything will right itself soon enough. If not, I´ve also read that progesterone (sp?) cream can work.

 

[almosthere]

Hi ladies, no time to read other posts, sorry, I have to go nanny! I just fell up my apt. stairs and hurt my leg, perhaps pregnancy clumsines?! Haha. No period yet! Woohoo! No more testing for me until tomorrow or even Sunday if still no AF. Last month was a 25DC this month has already gone up to a 27DC!!! FX for us all!
