loola2snowshus · 12/01/2011 08:59

wiggle you need to speak to Izz she has worked wonders on her LP! Have you tried Bvits? x

youremindmeofthebabe · 12/01/2011 09:00

How exciting velvet good luck as wellSmile

loola2snowshus · 12/01/2011 09:04

WIGGLE Just thinking Mamap might help too, I think that she had probs with progesterone or LP and consultant said that it was nothing to worry about? (sorry mamap if not you, there are so many of us now I get confused!)

Mamapower · 12/01/2011 09:31

I am just about to catch up but saw Wiggle was in a pickle so quick message: Hon, don't panic, until this very cycle and post mc I was ov on day 17/18 and my cycle had shortened from 28 to 25 so my LP was avg 7/8 days. I was told by my GP that the stuff regarding this on the internet is, for want of a better word, bollox! The length of the LP is only relevant if your progesterone levels don't rise after ov but given you have conceived it is more than likely that is ok!
I emailed a copy of an email between myself and one of the country's leading fertility specialists to Pink yesterday, it covers my issue regarding my short LP and he reassures that this is of no concern. I am more than happy to email it to you as well (just message me your email address) as it also names the tests he would start with if I have not conceived by June. xx

cep · 12/01/2011 10:05

morning all, i hope you're all ok.

emoo thanks, i have to admit i thought i'd be the only one who's dh wasn't all for it. And although i'm sorry that others are going through all that as well, it's kind of reassuring that it's not just me. (v selfish i know.)

wiggle do you find that your cycle is different each month?
Mine has been different every month since i came off the pill december 09, i started doing an ov calendar for my shortest and longest cycles and just decided to dtd over all that period. This month i should be fertile anytime from tomorrow to last ov chance on 20th. I have some ov tests left over so may just use those up over the time as well to see if for once i can get a positive. as i didn't pre pg and mc.

Which period is the lp? is that the bit from ov to af or end of af to ov?? My gp was telling me on monday that the time from ov to af was always 14 days and it's the bit from af to ov that changes. is that correct then?

Thanks for best wishes for ds, he's not too bad, it's just a really bad cold, but his temp is all over the place. we're watching shrek 3 at the mo. And for the first time in a very long time he slept in till almost 8. Would have been a lovely lie in if dh hadn't kept waking me before going to work.

sorry if i've missed anyone.

Mamapower · 12/01/2011 10:26

How did I miss so much (I only didn't come on here for a night!)?!!

Velvet I reckon you might be cooking something up in there Wink good luck with the exam too.

Did I dream that I read our Dachs was an astrophysics??? amazing! We have Beauty and brains on this thread, our children will be blessed Grin

loola I am sure your grand unveiling was a mater piece unfortunately wasted on me because I don't chart, but it seems from the comments that it's good so big 'whoop' for you Grin

Izzy think of the money Smile Don't you just love people who stitch you up whilst making it seem like they are doing you a favour! Boo!

Lady Grin Grin at your work rant! And, hooragh for nausea, in the nicest possible way, I mean, you don't really want to suffer but then nausea is quite reassuring, iykwim!

Mummy has that Dr got back to you yet? Pfff! How rude!

BOA sorry for the loss of your Grandma Sad

Orange and all our other BFP 'ers, how you all doing?

In other news, Emmo don't get excited, I can feel af on the way so fully expect her tomorrow! I agree with you about obsessing on here and keeping it from dh, much better to just get out the nice undies and jump their bones with no fan fare Grin Grin
yrmotb how are you pee stick buddy?

I need you to all keep your fingies crossed for the other baby that is my and dh's business, we put an offer in on a restaurant in Kent yesterday, I really really want this one, c'mon 2011, be kind to me Smile

Sorry if I missed anyone and waves to all

Mamapower · 12/01/2011 10:35

cep x-posts, sounds like another GP with the explanatory skills of an ape!! What is it with these GPs?! The LP is, indeed, the time from ov to af. BUT this phase is different for everyone, the average is 14 days but as with all things about reproduction it's different from woman to woman! Your bloody GP needs firing and I can't believe they are passing such idiotic information! To find your ov you might want to start using an OPK or temping, hope that helps!

Wombat33 · 12/01/2011 10:43

Feeling seriously low here. Symptoms all gone and I'm failing totally to muster any positivity.

cep · 12/01/2011 10:45

fx for the restaurant mamap i used the opk's before last pg and they all came back negative, temping is a bit difficult as with ds can't guarantee will have the 3 hours before taking temp. I do have some opk's left over so was planning on having a go to use them up over this next cycle. i think i'm oving (or was) earlier than i previously thought so will try and remember to do them every day from tomorrow.

cep · 12/01/2011 10:47

sorry x-post wombat symptoms come and go throughout the first trimester. i'm sure it'll be fine, you'll probably get them all back again within a few hours.

Mamapower · 12/01/2011 10:57

(((hugs))) Wombat

cep I can recommend the Clearblue digital, I know they are expensive but blooming good!

BackOnceAgain · 12/01/2011 11:15

Morning ladies Smile

Oh wombat Sad for you and sending zen like calmness and tranquility

So mamap are you really convinced AF is on way and if it gets to tomorrow will you succumb to the stick of justice? Thanks YRMOTB for pointing out there are 4 of us for this weekend. So has anyone been tempted? I am thinking of wasting money buying a digital....erm, today...?!

I'll do the list to occupy my mind (should actually be working but hey ho)

HongKongBaby · 12/01/2011 11:19

De-lurking just to ((((Wombat))). When are you next in for scan? I hope you get some reassurance soon and I will keep everything crossed for you.

BOA I really wish she wasn't but yes, I do sadly think she is Angry I'm not due on 'till tomorrow and I do come on late so if nothing by Fri then bring on the sticks but I think I'd need the immaculate conception to take place today cause I sure as hell ain't duffed... unless this is a symptomless one!! My boobs always play these monthly games so are irrelevant!!
What about you?? Any chance??

Ladybee · 12/01/2011 11:34

This is seriously odd. Am sitting in the antenatal clinic waiting area surrounded by VERY pg ladies. Feel like such a fraud. Had psyched myself up to be in the epau waiting area, where I've had all hospital contact since DS. This just feels so odd - like at any moment someone is going to say "oi, you in the corner, stop taking up space, don't you know this is for proper preggos, no imposters allowed".
Had good chat with dh this morning, good to know he's also worried - feels less alone.
wombat I think we're really close in dpo but you found out earlier than me? The tiny symptoms I have are never constant. Boobs wake up feeling normal, nausea so far has been the merest of waves, sometimes get twinges, mostly don't. I haven't had your bleeding but then I never have in any pg, successful or not until a mc starts and then it just doesn't stop. Sorry, this is meant to be helpful but maybe just a shuffle up and lean would be better.

BackOnceAgain · 12/01/2011 11:38

Hi Mama yeah same here with the boob thing and IIRC with the last preg I didn't even get any boob pain. So the fact that mine are playing up now makes me think that it this month's a no go too. (I am not going to buy the digi test I have resolved, as I got a BFN last preg with clearblue on CD28 anyway!)

Good luck with the restaurant, when do you find out if offer excepted?

BackOnceAgain · 12/01/2011 11:41

Ladybee chuckling at your 'feeling like a fraud' comment I remember how that feels... and I second a yes to symptoms coming and going in the first trimester too. Smile

BackOnceAgain · 12/01/2011 11:42

I am going to do some work now, bye Blush

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 12/01/2011 11:44

Just a quickie - bee good luck with appt and velvet good luck with the physics. mamap good luck with the offer!

Big (((hugs))) to wombat and whoever else needs them x

And back to work...(am thinking of the money mamap, just thinking of the money!)
