Had an mc and need some wine, chocolate and somewhere to moan and cry? This is the place to be! We chat a LOT so it can be hard to keep up, but everyone on here is great and will hold your hand until you get your BFP.

mummybells when is af supposed to be due? Keep badgering the doc!! (((hugs)))

Sorry posted twice!

rudolphsmum nutjob Grin well no bleeding so thats good, and i am sat here in a tshirt, so hot i feel like i am feverish!! Bonkers. Last night i noticed my boobs had changed :) I got very few physical symptoms last time.. so i am hoping this is positive. One day at a time. Guzzling pineapple juice by the gallon still! Gutted have just run out of bvits, when i need them for cell division etc so i had better order quick smart!

MummyBellsAllTheWay · 01/12/2010 10:00

I wish I knew when it was due!!

Here are the pertinent facts:

Op was done on day 10 of my cycle according to both my chart and his scan. He saw follicles already developing. It's been 14 days since op. FF says i am 7DPO but is possibly not to be trusted because I am on high dose oestrogen and I crossed time zones.

I posted on the AS thread to ask if oestrogen affects charting, only got one reply which says yes it suppresses ovulation, BUT the doc told me that I should stop taking the tablets for a couple of days while I bleed, that the progesterone in my natural cycle would make me bleed, I then resume hrt afterwards. So maybe it was too late to suppress the follicles that were already growing and i am producing progesterone and FF is right? But then why the cramps? Aaargggh, wish I knew what was going on... And I wish the hrt wasn't making me feel bonkers!

youremindmeofthebaubles · 01/12/2010 10:01

I got nasty cramps at 5 dpo this month, quite unusual for me. And generally I get pre AF cramps for at least 48 hours before af arrives.

Anyone else wish they hadn't bothered getting to work today?

izz that looks good, that chart. And if it's only spotting, then that's ace!

nix if you leave I will be very sad, I envisage you staying here forever, just with varying degrees of bump and baby.

youremindmeofthebaubles · 01/12/2010 10:01

Ooh, look {fsmile]

oh, bugger Xmas Smile

youremindmeofthebaubles · 01/12/2010 10:05

sorry I xposted there, mummy. I didn't mean to sound as curt as that looked in print. ((hugs)). Is it not a possibility that the LP will be extended due to the presence of Oestrogen, making 16 days+ possible? However am not really sure. Sorry chicky. Hope he emails back soon.

Roads are hideous here, motorways fine, but its getting to them thats the problem!!

I think some of your Xmas Grin s had hiccups

If you are only 7dpo doesn't that mean you still have a week or so until af? Xmas Confused If it is af like cramping then don't worry too much - I had those yesterday and I am in the middle of my cycle! I can get them at anytime in my cycle generally building up to actual af.

WhenStNixgotstuckuptheChimney · 01/12/2010 10:40

mm liking the confused santa smiley even more!

Loving the Christmas smileys :) Especially the biscuit one!!

NIX you are not going anywhere!!!!! We need you on here!!

IZZY I think your chart looks v promising! FC for implanation bleeding...!! How did you manage to increase your LP? I need to do that!! don't think 10 days is enough for me... Hummmm..

We have 2 feet of snow here!!!! NEVER seen it so bad. just popped up to the shops, usually a 5 minute walk, took me at least 15mins to trudge through... Its STILL snowing here... ANd the Forth Bridge is totally closed - that never ever happens, usually only to highsided vehicles etc... But the schools are closed for the 3rd day its absolutely mental here...

OK so can't do any poas-ing as no tests in the house, and nearest shop selling them is too far to walk with small people... last couple of cycles been really short about 23 days. Am CD21 today and really crampy. Not good. Sigh.

MummyBellsAllTheWay · 01/12/2010 10:53

No worries baubles, you didn't sound curtXmas Smile

I have sent another email, but now I think I am probably just having a mild panic because of the HRT ( starting to make me feel really hormonal now) it's just a few cramps after all, I guess i still am just going to have to wait and see. If I went to the doc he would scan me and tell me where I am in my cycle and not much else. That would cost me 500quid with him verses 40 quid for the same thing in Costa Rica so if I am still worried this time next week I can get a scan done there.

Forgot to take my temps for the last three days (thermometer was packed away) which always makes me feel a bit out of control.

Oh well more waiting, I have done enough of it, I should be much better at it by now Xmas Grin

nix don't go anywhere, the thread wouldn't be the same without you!

Velvetstocking · 01/12/2010 10:57

Hi all

Snow day 2 for me Xmas Grin

Izz heres hoping it is implantation but my first cycle of temping was last month and my temps dropped the day after AF arrived and I was spotting for a week beforehand.

I definately am not going to do all of the housework today. I had best get on with it!

DontEatOrangeSnow · 01/12/2010 11:14

Morning, MN lost my post so just saying hi

Love the Xmas Grin does [fbear] work?

Negative OPK last avo and today so am either OV or false alarm (am only day 15 and pre-mc was 35 cycle), am swigging pineapple AND grapefruit just in case, and hoping they don't cancel each other out!

Day off for dh's birthday, hope everyone's keeping warm and comfy?

CaribouMoo · 01/12/2010 11:15

Izzy that looks like a further temp shift to me - which I have got for all 4 BFPs!!

orestyemerrywombat · 01/12/2010 11:29

Morning all!

Hope the doc gets back to you soon Mummy but I'm sure things will settle down ((hugs))

Izz that chart looks very exciting from where i'm sitting!! Xmas GrinXmas Grin

Thanks to MammaC for my new name!!!

WhenStNixgotstuckuptheChimney · 01/12/2010 11:42

snowysunchild i think from what people have said on here re LP, acupuncture has helped but also Bvits...?

christmascaribouMoo No?

Izz that chart is defo looking good :)

IzzyWizzyletsgetChristmassy · 01/12/2010 11:44

I am loving your optimism, ladies! Xmas Grin.

Sadly however I think velvet's probably right: now I think about it I have had spotting before AF on last two cycles...I'm just getting carried away with my luteal phase and ff telling me that my chart was "possible triphasic at day 24". Can I get some kind of award for that even if I'm not pg?!

I would be 14dpo on Friday so I'll poas then if it's not resolved (well actually I'll probably poas anyway just in case!). Anyone else here had the triphasic thing on a normal cycle?

Still loving the xmassy names...

Velvetstocking · 01/12/2010 12:08

Sorry Izz didnt mean to be negative its just I know I get carried away with the optimism on here! Your chart does definately look good! Do you have any other symptoms to go with it?

MummyBellsAllTheWay · 01/12/2010 12:31

this certificate of achievement is herby awarded to izzywizzyletsgetchristmassy for oustanding performance in the area of increased luteal phase and achieving recognised triphasic chart on FF
