I know, it's really annoying - there's such a long list of possible side effects with these things that it's impossible to know. Also, I think you can only really notice changes when you stop taking the drugs as when you're on a certain pill you don't know what's causing certain symptoms. The one I was on before Cerazette (Yasmin? some silly name for a drug anyway) gave me stroke-like migraines, so I thought Cerazette was great but little did I know that it'd erase any sign of a normal cycle.

Phew, rant over Grin - now give me my hormones back!

Just typed a long post there that disappeared! So frustrating. I'll summarise it. Sorry to hear of you BFN GTR. Cerazette majorly gets rid of libido. And now my question talking about EWCM, I've had mine now since Sunday, no sign of going away. Are you most fertile just after the EWCM finishes? or in the middle of it? Can you tell I'm trying to get out of SWI tonight, just had enough of it!

GTR2882 · 13/10/2011 13:02

Busta how often have you been SWI'ing? EWCM just indicates your most fertile period, so once it's gone, you have missed your opportunity; I would have thought after 6 days of it that it would be going now; have you got much of it?

Yes Cerazette is an evil pill that should be banned!!! I lost my libidio, my period and my sanity!! AND I WANT THEM BACK [hangry] Ahhhh, that feels better!! I am going to test again next week i have decided. I am still feeling dizzy and my right boob is really sore (clutching a straws, i know) i just can't believe that after all the SWI we've done that i am still not pg!!! Am being naughty tonight though and having a glass of wine!!!

louloubellamozzarella · 13/10/2011 13:03

yes a good glass of Wine will see you right. Do you think you'll test again next week?

GTR2882 · 13/10/2011 13:09

Thanks loulou

I have ordered some tests from Amazon (FRERs) and i think they will be here on Monday so I am going to test Tuesday, unless the hag whore worm infested witch shows up on her stupid broom!!! The doc told me to test this week and if negative to test again next week as it could be too early this week (am not holding out much hope though). I just need to know and if it's BFN then where is my sodding period!!!!

They are going to be doing all sorts of blood tests next week, i think one of them is for progesterone - if this comes back higher than normal (rather then lower) does any one know what this could indicate? Will try Google to see if any women out there have been through a similar thing!!! [hgrin]

BustAMove · 13/10/2011 13:21

Thanks for that GTR. Have been SWI EOD. It's becoming a bit of a chore now. Haven't noticed it getting less, but will give a good check later on. Guess I'll need to SWI tonight just to give things the best chance.

BustAMove · 13/10/2011 13:42

Ok, just checked. EWCM completely gone, but was there this morn. Last time SWI was tues eve, do you think I've missed the boat? Should I SWI tonight, or is that def too late now?

GTR2882 · 13/10/2011 13:47

I would SWI tonight, just to make sure :) you might ov today!!

BustAMove · 13/10/2011 13:48

Right ok, I'm on the case!

GTR2882 · 13/10/2011 14:06

Yeeehaaaa [hgrin] you get in there!!! Make this one count [hgrin]

louloubellamozzarella · 13/10/2011 14:31

GTR there's a really handy chart on wiki which shows levels of different hormones throughout the menstrual cycle and how everything shifts throughout the cycle. If you love charting, you're gonna lurve this...geekery

Extract from wiki re progesterone:

Under the influence of progesterone, the endometrium (uterine lining) changes to prepare for potential implantation of an embryo to establish a pregnancy.

Also: fact of the day - ov pain is officially called mittelschmerz - who knew?!

GTR2882 · 13/10/2011 15:19

Thanks for that loulou

Damn those Germans - it's their fault [hgrin]

Oh mama5 I know!! Just don't know what's going on!! CM has all but dried up now am sure that can't be a good sign, although I'm bot completely dry it's just not coming out at the rate it was over the last few days! Cramps have kind of returned as well which definitely can't be a good thing!! Damn this TTC lark!!

Rusulka · 13/10/2011 18:38

Oh GTR! Just got the news. Fingers crossed that everything turns out OK, you never know...

Pregnant lady at work this morning was talking about how it feels like little bubbles inside, which was what I felt on our first month when I was a week late. Now convinced I had a chemical. Boo.

I'm going to try some reverse psychology I think- not bothered about ttc this month, as both DH and I are July babies, so don't particularly fancy the financial strain of a third July birthday to manage. Knowing our luck, this will be the month for us.
if you believe that you'll believe anything

DH is well up for DTD at the mo, and only just finished AF! Shame his week off work is now and not next weekend WHEN I'M ACTUALLY BLOODY OVULATING!!!

Grr.

nearlymumofone · 14/10/2011 07:49

Cd15 of a 25-27 cycle. No increased or changed CM, certainly no EWCM, no pos OPK. Am now convinced I'm either not ov or ov'ing so late in cycle (last cycle I only got EWCM 2-3 days before AF came). This isn't good is it? Any thoughts?

GTR2882 · 14/10/2011 08:02

If you are ov'ing late, then your cycle will be longer; some women do not produce that much fertile CM. Was last AF normal for you? if it was then that would indicate that you did ov, but it's hard to know because with an anovultory cycle you will still have a bleed, but it will be breakthrough bleeding and not actual AF. For a 25-27 day cycle by CD15 i would have thought that you would already have ov'd. How often do you POAOS? Is it possible you might have missed the LH surge? [hsmile]

nearlymumofone · 14/10/2011 08:09

I've POAS for the past 5 days up to 3 times a day. Obsessive I know! [hblush] CM has been thick stick and white nothing like EWCM. It's getting kinda sore up there after all the prodding and poking!

I with I'd charted the month I fell pg with ds! Thing is I thought I couldn't get pg that month, as had large cyst and endo, so had given up!!

nearlymumofone · 14/10/2011 08:19

GTR any signs with you? Are you still gong to leave it till next week to test?

GTR2882 · 14/10/2011 08:28

[hhmm] i too test 3 times a day so not obsessive at all!! [hgrin] Do you temp as well? That can give you an indication that ov took place regardless of the CM activity [hsmile]

No signs at all, had a very vivid dream last night about AF coming (it was quite graphic) and I was speaking Spanish and DH cleaned my dressing room and I was angry at him. It was so real that when I went to get ready this morning I was shocked that the room was still untidy!! Tests should be here by Monday so will prob test on Tuesday if the witch is not here!!!

nearlymumofone · 14/10/2011 08:33

Dreams are funny hey? Keeping fingers crossed for you. You are very patient waiting until Tuesday. I would cave in way before then.

I'm so angry with myself for being so obsessive about ttc only on cycle 2. I am trying to ban myself from coming on MN, but clearly it hasn't worked. At all. I'm also toying with getting CBFM next month just so I will then know if and when I ov, to hilight if there are any probs. But it's quite an expensive way of doing that!!

nearlymumofone · 14/10/2011 08:36
  • No I don't temp. I would never manage to do it at the same time every day, and I'd get it wrong I'm sure!
GTR2882 · 14/10/2011 08:57

I know what you mean! I thought about getting one but just couldn't justify spending the money!! And knowing me, i would buy it and fall pg before using it!!

needinstructions · 14/10/2011 09:05

Morning everyone, I actually don't think I need to post any more as nearlymumofone appears to be me! I am also on CD15, cycle 2 and wondering where all my CM has gone. I don't seem to have had any this month but I think I've settled back into 28day cycle so am assuming ov will/has happened.

Question for the experts: I keep seeing on here that your LP NEVER changes. Is that, like, never ever?? I would have thought that our bodies are affected by so many variables and go through so many changes through the years that LPs would be bound to vary a bit. I don't think I have anything to worry about (although have no idea when I ov so that's not based on anything), I'm just curious. Tbh, I've got a bit geekily into all the biology of TTC and chatting with like-minded people is a nice way to learn Smile

GTR2882 · 14/10/2011 09:30

needinstruction LPs do never ever change, the only thing that can change is the date of ov, which might make us think that our LP has changed, but if you have a 14 day LP you will always have a 14 day LP! If AF comes later than expected, this is because ov was later and not because the LP has suddenly become shorter or longer [hgrin]
