The Elderberry Pavlovas: still chasing that 'copter in the hope of a festive BFP. Thread 16 (the one where Happy was left in charge!!)

[happylass]

Here we go again.....

The smallprint –
Berries have a strict entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 6+months, NO instadiffers, must have a special pot) and def no mention of baby dust or baby dancing UGH !!! Ooooh aren’t we strict!

Pip how exciting that you're getting lined up for cycle 2! Hopefully there is still time for a Christmas BFP :)

Blue you will just have to get all the Berries crossing everything that can be crossed for your cycle!!

Helloooooooo

Had a berry-break (bit of a case of green eyed monster) what have I missed?!?

Do I smell a newbie?!? Lol

Yippee! It's the weekend! Had a morning (and afternoon) of housework so now having a well earned rest under a blanket with Harry Potter on the telly! I wish I were a wizard too!

Hi Win - welcome to Berryland!

Thanks for the info merk! I have ordered the thermometer so fingers crossed I can get some clarity on whether I ov or not. I have the opks already, and would get a positive mid cycle, but I guess that didn't mean I ovulated. I may well seek your expertise when I've started temping!

Kuma- my fsh score was higher than that (16). Fingers crossed your amh and afc come back ok. When do you get the results? I know what you mean about swinging between optimism and giving up. I'm still trying to get my head around things and have been bursting out crying all day. I'm hoping optimism will swing back around soon.

Hi boodle and bunny! Thanks for the heads up about Harry potter, have just switched over. I feel like believing in magic for a bit!

RP No chance of a Christmas BFP. No DTD now without protection. I will start the drugs on day 21 of this cycle so I can't be pg.

Oh, Potter? I'm off to watch that.

I do feel naughty watching it though. I was brought up that the TV didn't go on until after dinner. I still feel off turning it on in the afternoon.

Glad there's some other HP fans with me! I think I'm going to ask for tickets to the studio tour for my birthday as I've heard it's amazing. Any Berries been?

winohhh I guess I'll get the AMH (and oestrogen I think) result when I go for the AFC, that will be in about 2 weeks time on next CD3. I'm not sure when I'll get the repeat FSH result but suppose I can just call the FC and find out.

I hope all the berries are having a nice weekend and enjoying HP!

Evening all. Welcome win !

Another berry curled up on the sofa watching tv here - not HP though- the Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus which is even more of a kids film but I love it for some reason.

Why is it so cold?

I've moved onto strictly now...I might have to be surgically removed from the sofa!

On the amh topic, mine was only 11.6 which is why they've sent me straight to IVF rather than try iui. not sure what my fsh was, but in the normal range, I think.

Oo, forgot about Strictly, I'll have to catch up tomorrow. I've moved to bed to get comfy but still on my laptop. I'm cutting and pasting the Numeracy objectives from the 2014 curriculum into a spreadsheet. Oh how Saturday nights have changed!!

Still shag week as +opk yesterday and no temp rise this morning but no dtd tonight because we both feel tired and rubbish .

Welcome win sorry you've had to find your way to us, we're a good bunch though.

boodle I love HP, read all the books, seen all the films and been to the studio tour which I loved!

As for amh and fsh, not even sure what they are so assume mine were ok

Just had a meal at friends house and we watched strictly, I love that show!

In bunny-land its CD1! The 18th AF I never wanted, not long compared with some of you but it's a funny anniversary to reach

But it does mean my cycle is back up to 28 days after some weird cycles so that's good. Gonna ring FC Monday and see if I will be allowed to start jabbing if next AF arrives on time between Christmas and new year!!!

for AF but for regular cycles bunny.

Can anyone tell me about their charts with and without clomid? FF has decided I O'd the day before my +opk, which doesn't make much sense to me! Previously my temps after O were above 36.5, and whilst my last 3 temps are higher than previously in the cycle, they're not what I would expect post O. I don't know about the last clomid cycle as that's when I went on holiday and stopped temping.
Chart should be here if anyone wants to take a look.

You need Merk on the case with your chart, Barking! I haven't managed to get a positive opk on my last coule of clomid cycles as I wasn't really bothered. Before that though it was as expected - positive opk 1-2 days before temp rise.

Going for a chart nosy now...

Barking I can see why FF is saying you Od when you did but I think its wrong. Tomorrow's temp will be the giveaway. I think either you Od on Sat or you haven't Od yet. My concern would be the time between stopping the clomid and your potential O seems longer than it should be, is there any possibility the clomid wouldn't work this cycle due to the provera?

Ok so just googled. Provera should have no effect on the clomid. But you should O between 5 and 9 days post last clomid pill so i would be a tad worried it seems to be taking longer for your body to respond. Although its obv trying, with the CM and OPK so perhaps it just took longer to 'remember' what to do!

Thanks merk! I usually O on either cd19 or cd22, and clomid this time and last time hasn't seemed to have changed that. I was expecting from previous cycles and the timing of the +opk to be ovulating today and see a 'proper' temp rise tomorrow morning. As you say, I think I need to wait and see what tomorrow's temp is, and fit another dtd in tonight!

How's everyone else? Very quiet here today. Anyone else heading into the 2ww with me?

Barking I'm currently in symptom spotting 2ww land, 8DPO and going crazy as usual. Does anyone know if you can get an implantation dip as early as 4DPO? Um, and then again at 8DPO? I think I'm having twins this cycle! (I'd post a link to my FF chart but I have no idea how to do it!)

I had a double dip last cycle, Birdy, but it was 6dpo and then 11 or 12dpo, I think. Obviously it amounted to nothing in my case!

An early temp dip (3 to 7 DPO ish) is normal as your body gets two progesterone surges post O, the first one causes the initial temp rise, which can then drop slightly before the second rise. Implantation would normally be 7dpo (early) to 12 DPO so after any initial dip

And blue to get a link to your chart there is an option to share/email your chart (in the app you find it under more details, on the website I think its at the top right when viewing your chart). If you get a link you can email from there you can post that same link on here

Gosh barking you're back in the 2ww. Good for you. I'm not there yet but hopefully in a few days as shag week is due to begin, although given that I only just got home from the office it might not be tonight!

pip sorry to hear that! But, you do have a clear plan I suppose.

Anyone else just dragging themselves to the end of term by their nails?!

Ugh Berries soneone wang me quick. Instadiffer SIL has just announced that she's 8 weeks pg. Feel like a total cow for being as she had a mc back in August (after instadiffing then too). Am genuinely pleased for them but can't help wondering why it's so bloody easy for some to get pg . Haven't actually seen her but she told DP today "just in case we were trying". To which MIL chipped in " well are you trying??".

Nope happy that doesn't deserve a wang, totally fair jealousy. I will poke a chipolata up your nose in an attempt to take your mind off it but instadiffers (and relatives who are instadiffers) are always going to be really difficult
