Yes Popcorn had the usual bloods, HSG & DH had the SA, everything so for has been coming back as normal. We've now been prescribed clomid and this was our first month. I hope it helps us but who knows Hmm

ScrambledSmegs · 07/11/2011 11:05

I didn't realise either Solars. Have you had tests yet? Glad you're feeling ok, will commence no-brooking for this month for you.

PopcornMouse · 07/11/2011 10:55

Gosh Solars, 19 months? I didn't realise. Have you had any sort of investigations done? Sorry that I don't know Confused

Solars · 07/11/2011 10:53

Imps I don't think there is anything to be concerned about being a late popper as long you have a reasonable luteul period after.

Imps7 · 07/11/2011 10:49

Ohhhh how I would love to be an early - even normal - egg popper. It was CD 20 for me last cycle! 33 day cycles means that I only have 11 chances a year of winning a baby. Urgh, it's SO not fair

Not that I am looking to worry myself, but is there any reason to be concerned about being a late egg popper does anyone know?

Solars · 07/11/2011 10:48

Morning,

Welcome Sweetie

Imps I thought I was the only one not watching Downton Abbey!

Munkii are you testing soon?

Popcorn that does sound a bit of a waste of opks starting from CD1! About CD8 ish may be better.

A big thank you to all who were brooking for me, have given myself a good talking to and feel a lot better now. This is month 19 now for us so really don't want to be continuing onto month 20 hence I think why it was getting me down. Am on constant knicker watch today as I think I am 15DPO. Does anyone know exactly when you ovulate after they get ovulation pains? Is it on the same day or the day after?

Hope everyone else is doing well x

ScrambledSmegs · 07/11/2011 10:35

Ahem! Think you'll find tis my egg that's popping soon [proud]. Grin

I just started using the OPK's yesterday, Popcorn. Cheap month! I think if you have a good idea of what happens when in your cycle, you don't need to use the OPK's from CD1. Maybe wait till about CD8-10 if you have long cycles, sooner if you have shorter ones? Good luck!

PopcornMouse · 07/11/2011 10:29

PS, beedle, let us know what the GP says? I'd be interested on her verdict tbh! Hmm :)

PopcornMouse · 07/11/2011 10:27

I'm on CD16 and still waiting!

I got sent a box of FR OPKs by a mumsnetter, which is lovely :)
I was disturbed to see the box said to start testing from CD1 though (CD1 if usually under 31days, CD3 if over). Wtf? Does anyone OV at CD1?? Struck my as a bit moneygrabbing...

ScrambledSmegs · 07/11/2011 10:09

Mmm! Lovely thanks! Wink

ScrambledSmegs · 07/11/2011 09:54

. Sorry!

ScrambledSmegs · 07/11/2011 09:52

Morning rat-smackers! . Hope you feel a bit better today, and carry off your solo day with aplomb. I'm available for more playground assaults on AF when required Grin.

I'm on CD10 too, Sweetie! We're cycle buddies! Gosh, I'm inordinately excited about that Hmm.

So. CD10. EWCM Shock. Positive OPK Shock. It's never been this early before, maybe the B6 is 'normalising' my cycle? Combined with a longer LP this could be very good news. Very pleased!

BeedleTheBard · 07/11/2011 09:49

Welcome sweetie

imps I've had a word with AF for you, she just didn't want you to forget about her as she's going to be leaving you for 9 months Grin

popcorn I wasn't worried about the 2 days of "proper flow" , it was just this months which was only about 15 hours of proper flow, fllowed by a bit of spotting which stopped and has now restarted Hmm.

I'll go along to see the doctor after work and see what they say - I'm just starting to think that there is something wrong that is preventing me getting pregnant. And whilst they won't start any investigations until we've been trying for 12 months, I think my 1 day period is a cause for concern

PopcornMouse · 07/11/2011 09:24

Beedle I only get 2 days of proper flow, too, with a day of spotting afterwards? Confused it had never occurred to me that might not be normal?

Hi Sweetie!

Smegs I've taped Downton! I will have to wait till Thursday to watch it, sob, as Mr Popcorn is home for the next few evenings. I'm planning on not reading any newspapers before then, and actively avoiding friends and family :o

Nothing much to report here. Painful boobs so I hazard a guess I'm gearing up for ovulation....

Imps7 · 07/11/2011 08:09

Morning Sweetie and welcome! Let me be the second to congratulate you on being on day 10 of your pregnancy. On this thread, one is always pregnant.

Does anyone want to come and kick AF in the face for me? I have been in pain all night and hardly slept a wink. Now I have to go to work and face three sulking partners - my partner in crime colleague who is also at risk is on holiday this week. Deserter.

I think I am going to put today down as being Day 1 of my pregnancy - there was nothing more that some brown spotting yesterday - AF properly arrived in the night.

I'm not a Downton Abbey watcher Scrambled - although I think I'm the only person who isn't :)

SweetieDoesIt · 07/11/2011 07:44

Hi Scrambled Just a quick post before work. I am CD10 of official cycle 3 of TTC our first DC. We have already had some tests done because AF never arrived when i stopped taking pill so Dr wanted look into it.

So I have had day 3 & day 21 when AF eventually arrived and DH had his SA done on Friday (collects his results this week). My results were a bit funny, my FSH was 12 and LH 8 (I am 38 so Dr said this is considered ok for my age, although I am not so sure) but then my day 21 progesterone was 126!!! Dr said he thought I might be updiffed with such a high result but then AF arrived so obviously not!! Sad
So that is me and my story so far.

ScrambledSmegs · 06/11/2011 22:42

Hello Sweetie! Welcome to the thread, and to the first day of your pregnancy, now you've joined us :) Support, baked goods and brooking no argument are our speciality! Oh, and the occasional random chat about celebs wot we fancy and fanjometers. How long have you and your DP been 'officially' trying? For DH and I it's been 4 months, but unofficially it's been a bit longer than that.

Sorry for not responding sooner, but it was Downton Abbey time. Gawd, I didn't see tonight's twist coming, did anyone else won't be saying what it was just in case? Was a bit trite and cliched, but hey, it's a soap opera in period dress with Maggie Smith, so I forgive Julian Fellows. I'm sure he'll be relieved to hear that Grin.

SweetieDoesIt · 06/11/2011 21:15

Hello ladies
I have been lurking for some time now and seeing all those fab BFP results. I think all the brooking and baked goods leads this to be the most successful thread, please can I join?
We are quite new to the ttc lark, only stopped taking pill in summer but things are taking a bit to settled back into a normal pattern. Hopefully you lovely ladies can offer support through this journey. I do hope so.Grin

BeedleTheBard · 06/11/2011 17:50

Jazzy much as I would love to believe that it was some kind of implantation bleeding I don't thnk it was. It was proper blood like a period just really short - i will probably test in the morning just to be sure Grin

jazzy283 · 06/11/2011 14:15

beedle thats what happened to me i went to drs and got my BFP lol have you tested just to see??

BeedleTheBard · 06/11/2011 12:44

Jazzy congratulations on the BFP, and after 11 months you definately deserve it :)

Munkii are you going to test soon?

I've had a couple of days of non-brooking, but now I'm ready to get back to it and get my positive pee-stick.

TMI alert. I am thinking of going to see the doctor about my exceptionally short periods, usually I get proper bleeding for about 2 days followed by spotting for a day or so. This month I bled on Friday during the day, hardly anything overnight or on Sat morning and since then nothing. That's really not normal is it?

Hope everyone's having a lovely weekend, especially Stasi though I hope she's too busy doing honeymoon stuff to be reading this Grin

possiblemaybebaby · 06/11/2011 12:36

Sorry Munk, a bit me me me there. No AF Smile have POAS/PIAR???????

possiblemaybebaby · 06/11/2011 12:34

Jen! How are you?

Thanks Scream he is very adorable, though he has at the annoying ankle biting stage Grin Of course you can have a dog and a baby Wink Hope you are very well.

Well done for resisting the pee sticks Jazzy

Well, I think something may be amiss with me. AF had pretty much finished this morning, as it normally does, now I have started cramping bad and passing a few clots. Does anyone know if this could be linked to last month's annovulatory cycle? Very bizarre Hmm

Also hope the Stasis are on a nice beach somewhere Grin

jenfraggle · 06/11/2011 12:27

Haven't been in here for ages and have managed to pop in for a BFP! Well done jazzy hope to see you on the other thread soon, your glittery bucket is all ready for you
