olis have you had your progesterone level tested? Short LP can be extended with progesterone support, I think, certainly I know of two friends who have sustained successful prg with prog support for short LP xx

meliesmummy · 12/05/2011 20:01

bump have they given you a repeat appointment for reassurance?

Nice to hear you are well collie!

olis stress can make you ov late so maybe that's it and this will just be a long cycle?

Im getting nervous of camping this weekend, the weather forecast isn't making me optimistic! Dd is very excited about peppa pig world. No sign of the end of af collie, think it might be a long one!

How are you Cep?

Waves to loup and stitch!

Any news from hopeful lately, or Brooke?

mmm maybe i should take vit b then?

Glad everything is well collie

loup I was getting quantitive hcg tests done every 48hrs it started as i went to a and e with pain and then they tested etc very nervous it might happen again and that a short lutal phase may have something to do with it :(
On the plus side DTD already rushed upstairs with DH as soon as i could leaving DS watching thomas the tank engine very loud Blush Grin

CollieandPup · 12/05/2011 16:38

olis that's good about the okp. You're cycle could still be uo to 35 days which would give you a good lp length. You could even be having a longer cycle? I'm not sure when to take vitb or Angus c bit I know they gmfo help. I also took flaxseed oil after ov to help with lining. Ohh and ate lots of brazil nuts. Good luck.

loup fx for you, and for lily

stitch are you out this month as oh was away?

lily little pup is ok (I think) thanks for asking. Private Scan was just over a week ago, great results. Have nhs scan weds next week. My belly is starting to stick out a bit now, just a bit but enough to look like I've been eating way to many pies!!!..... which I probably have Grin really hoping this is your month, would love to see you join us on the other thread.

Wondering if chloe is lurking.... I never replied properly to your lady post but I'm so glad the counselling session went well and you're doing so great. So nice to hear you so happy. We've been talking on the t'other thread of having a northern meet up- would you be up for it? Anyone else 'up north'?

mels how are you sweet? Af nearing an end I hope?

Big hugs for bump I know how stressed you are. And I know no guarantees after such an early scan, but the good news is it's there and all in the right place, growing as it should. Xx

hugs for Hadrian too, hope you're ok? X

Loup23 · 12/05/2011 16:01

fx olis that you get a longer LP then, it could already be 11 days then? I'm not sure re B6/AC but I take it from AF to OV then I stop AC at OV but carry on with B6 only becasue when I m/c in February I still think there's a tiny chance it's becuase I stopped the B6 - I am not a dr and have no idea and the EPU said that wasn't the case but I've read on line (damn google) that similar people have experienced the same. How did you find out that your hormones weren't rising? I definitely think my hormones are all over the place........... x

olismum23 · 12/05/2011 15:47

loup It wont definitely be 6 days my cycles can be anywhere between 30 and 35 days long CD 24 at the moment all i can do is hope its a long one. I have B6 and agnus castus not took it yet how do i take it? will taking the b6 today help or hinder?

I mc in early feb hormones were not rising as they should.

Loup23 · 12/05/2011 15:39

bump really hope all goes well for you, good news from the epu - fx the pain stops.

olismum great news re the opk. Will your LP definitely be 6 days? I can't remember when you m/c but is it possible that your cycles are still a bit all over the place so your LP might be longer? I have an LP of 10 and I have been taking vitamin B6 and agnus castus which has extended it to 12 days so that might help. Fx for dtd today x

olismum23 · 12/05/2011 15:26

Ok I need advice got a positive opk today but that means my lutal phase is minimum 6 days long maximum 9/10 that means i will never sustain a pregnancy right? I just want to cry :(

Thursday's list

Tokyotwist ttc #2 cycle 1 cd 50 ucl unknown
Stitchinline ttc#1 cycle 3 cd 32 ucl 33

Loup23 ttc#1 cycle 4 cd 23 ucl 33ish
Meliesmummy ttc #2 cycle 4 cd 4 ucl 28

It's kind of good knowing I don't have to go through the stress of testing this month, mind you I will probably just POAS anyway because of desperate hope that a miracle happened - better make sure only the cheapies are on hand

Sorry you are here dairy but hopefully it's not for long

olis know how you feel about the 20 weeks, i would have been 22 the other day with the first MC and 9 with the CP, trying not to think about it too much or I really get down

tokyo hope you get what you need from the GP

melies pleased this AF is a bit more normal for you, I don't think I coudl do the mooncup, never been able to use a tampon so don't think it's for me

wave to everyone else and hoep you are all as well as can be :o

Bumpwanted · 12/05/2011 11:43

Morning ladies

I've been a bit quiet the past few days as have still been getting terrible cramps. They were so bad I went to the EPU yest and had a scan. Not much to see other than an empty sac given I am only 5 weeks but they said everything looks on target and didn't seem concerned by the pain. I am not convinced and still think its going to end badly but am just trying to take it one day at a time and hoping by some miracle it will be ok.

Loup they are so much cheaper on amazon aren't they! Made me feel a lot less guilty for being obsessed with testing.

Hi to Oli Lily Melies and everyone else

xx

Loup23 · 12/05/2011 10:01

Good luck lily hope af stays away! I was feeling positive yesterday but now back to negative Confused am now thinking it's just dodgy hormones making my boobs hurt! Oh how I hate the 2ww. Have ordered some FRER from amazon and will hold off testing until mid next week.

Waves to everyone and hopes you're all doing ok x

lily06 · 11/05/2011 22:13

Just tried again - internet was a bit flaky earlier, so maybe it didn't send. x

olismum23 · 11/05/2011 22:12

lily06 not got your pm?? maybe it will turn up tomorrow? you never know you may not need it!

lily06 · 11/05/2011 21:48

Welcome dairy, sorry you've had to go through the pain of mc twice, hope your stay here is short for all the right reasons.

Olis thanks for the offer of the cbfm, have sent you a pm. Well done on the weight loss, really great! Sorry you're feeling down at the moment, its always hard when milestones come up and you think what might have been.

Tokyo how frustrating, hope your GP can help.

Mel you've really sold me on the mooncup, hadn't been tempted before but think I might give it a go.

Loup keeping fx for you, glad you are feeling positive this month.

Blackkat thanks for the kind words. I wasn't being monitored on clomid, but now I'm seeing a new consultant I'm hoping that will change. Hope everything is ok with you x

Collie how are things with you and colliepup?

I'm trying to hold off testing again until Saturday, which will be cd31, though I fully expect AF to have turned up by then.

olismum23 · 11/05/2011 20:49

Welcome dairy sorry for your losses. :(

hoping this thread will bring luck to all soon too

dairyfarm · 11/05/2011 19:27

Hi everyone - joined here when I was still breastfeeding at all hours, hence the name!
MMC'd at the start of April, 2nd one as I mmc'd before having my little boy who was 1 at the weekend. Started trying in Jan and conceived immediately. Scan showed healthy heartbeat at 7 weeks but 9wk scan showed development had stopped at 7+4. Had medical management this time so that I wouldn't have to wait so long for cycles to return to normal.
AF made it's appearance on Monday so we are going to start trying again this month.
Good luck to all on here and I really hope to read some good news stories soon xx

olismum23 · 11/05/2011 17:50

sorry for the double post!!!

olismum23 · 11/05/2011 17:49

Sorry about your cycle tokyo i can understand your frustration.

collie glad everything is going well

stitch hope af moves her bum!

loup fx for you someone is due luck this month!

As for me i am doubtful about bfp this month not dtd a lot and monitor always said low but you never know. I have felt crap this week as i would have been 20 weeks i think it all kind of got to me again.

Tokyotwist · 11/05/2011 15:49

Hello Everyone

Welcome to mummytobelizz, so sorry for your loss. This thread has been a great support and hopefully will be for you too.

Day 49 and still no sign of AF. Tests all negative. I'm going spare here. Have booked an appointment with GP for 2mro. Very worried that she'll just send me home to wait. I don't even know what I should be asking her/ expect. Wretched Blooming Cycle Angry.

Sorry folk, just very frustrated here.

meliesmummy · 11/05/2011 12:52

Hope af hurries up for you then stitch!

collie I wash it out properly at home, when I'm out I've been just wiping it out with tissue or wet wipes. It's easier to use than I thought, the only problem I've had is when it doesn't unfold properly when it's in but I think I've solved that now.

CollieandPup · 11/05/2011 11:49

Morning all

Sorry for your loss mummytobelizz and sorry you find yourself here but its a lovely supportive thread.

Mel gald you're having less pain with this AF. Just watched the dvd on the mooncup website - revolutionary! Is it easy to insert/take out? What about if you are at work /out and need to empty it?

Loup fx for you, i had lots of cm after av with my bfp - but never really took much notice of my cm before that though.

Lily still no AF? CD 26 could have been too soon - i don't tend to get even faint lines until well about 15 dpo. fx for you.

Well done on all the weight loss olis

I know 3 months - can't actually believe i made it this far. Your not too far behind me. Once I got past those very early weeks they did really fly by!

Waves to everyone, my the ttc list has shrank! Where did everyone go?

meliesmummy · 11/05/2011 11:41

loup they sell them in boots but I got mine off amazon, it was a bit cheaper. Fx you won't need one though!
