Sorry for all the sad news on the bus today. Hugs all round. chandlers sorry for not getting the outcome u wanted from the meds. Love the positive attitude. Enjoy your time in Thailand, sounds like a once in a lifetime opportunity and now u can really enjoy it and enjoy a child free zone because u will get your children soon enough I'm sure of it.

It's my dp birthday and he's stuck in court for work. I wanted to make a baby tonight (as I do every night). Not had a positive opk but I'm sure it most be coming soon. At least I hope it is. Think I'm defo out of the October bus now tho as I've still not ov'd so there isn't enough days left in the month. My cycle is normally 29 days tho so I don't know why I've not ov'd yet. Frustrated.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 22/10/2014 20:27

What a sad day today has been for so many of you.

Treacle I'm sorry if af is on the way.

Chandlers I think the decision you have made is a very positive one. And your plan for the absolute immediate future sounds great.

We've had another lady fall off the an thread today too.

I think let's write today off and wake up tomorrow with some bfps! There's still time in pregtober!

Lucie my acupuncturist said pretty much the same thing about temps. although plenty of people get their bfp with not so consistent temps, they obviously look at it from an ideal world/whole body point of view. To me it kind of makes sense. So far this cycle my temps have definitely been more consistent than in previous cycles, so she must be doing something right.

That little FERTILTIY thing is really good... reminds us that it actually takes quite a lot to get pregnant and a positive mind definitely helps.

Dozygirl · 22/10/2014 20:34

Yes lucie thanks for sharing that. Your journey has been a tough one. Hope u get ur BFP soon.

spinningirl10 · 22/10/2014 21:05

Lucie, that's great, thanks for sharing

Well the acupuncture lady (the one that I really wanted to see) phoned me this evening. We had quite a long chat about what's going on with me and how long we've been trying. Anyway I have my first appointment on Nov 18th, I know it's a few weeks away but she's really busy, shes been trained by Zita West which is quite exciting, fx it works for me. Nov 4th is my referral appointment to the fertility place at the hospital so at least we can get some tests done and see if everything's working as it should be. Oh and I also have to take temp charts to acupuncture so I will continue with them.

Frolicacid · 22/10/2014 21:08

Treaclepie19 · 22/10/2014 21:25

Brown is Ok choccy keep up the positive attitude and think happy thoughts!! oh and sticky ones Grin

Katybear123 · 22/10/2014 21:34

Hi cariad, sunbathing and purple thank u so much for ur responses. It's very tough now, not made better today by that witch af showing her face!!!!!! Only got to cd26 I think today counts as spotting but still therefore only a 9-10 luteral phase. Spent a lot of time sobbing with hubbie tonight and trying to see if this is a luteral phase defect. We have googled and googled and its v confusing and conflicted. Not sure what to do worried to take anything that might mess up cycles more, and suspect gp will do nothing as only been trying 6 months and was on pill for 17 yrs. feel very blue today

MaGratgarlik1983 · 22/10/2014 21:34

Sorry for all the rubbish news today!

Well I'm on CD46 and lots of ewcm so I did an opk and was a really strong positive! So we DTD yesterday morning, tried tonight but didn't quite happen, so do you think we'll be ok if we try in the morning then maybe once on the weekend? How long after the pos opk do you ovulate? Thanks!

Choccywoccydodah · 22/10/2014 21:41

Katy, sorry to but in. I had a short LP of about 9-10 days, spotting from 7 days. I had that for 2 months after I came off the pill. Then I started b6 50mg every morning cd1-ov then upped it to 100mg after ov. I caught the first month? Every month I've not tried (3 in the last year), I've gone back to the 9-10 days with spotting as I've not taken the b6. Might be worth a shot for you. Apologies if this has already been suggested :)
It didn't affect my ov being late, if anything it made it earlier.

I get spotting 2 date before AF arrives. Disnt use to get it pre pill. I wasn't on anything at all when I came off pill in April because we weren't actively ttc until August. I still had spotting then so it musnt be from vitamins.

Also feel worried about it because I hadn't had it before pill but u read lots of stories about ppl getting bfps even tho they spot before a period. I can't see the harm in going to a doctors and asking them to check things out even if u haven't been trying for a year. If there's an obvious problem in regards ttc then they do start tests earlier, it's only if u have no sign of anything that they wait the year.

EnglishGirlsReturned · 22/10/2014 21:50

Sorry AF has arrived Treacle, treat yourself to a glass of wine.
Choccy - stay positive hun, brown is not bad. Keep your chin up lovely. Will send a little prayer up for you Smile
MaGrat- you've normally got between 12-36 hours I think after a positive OPK.
Big hugs Katy - TTC is hard, don't let a possible short lp worry you, plenty of people get pg with a short one. As Choccy said - b6 is supposed to be good for lengthening it.

spinningirl10 · 22/10/2014 21:50

Treacle and Katy, sorry af has turned up for you bothThanks I'm sure I'll see you on the Nov bus soon.

Choccy, I'm so pleased the blood has turned brown, hopefully that's a good sign and is little bean is snuggling in. Take it easyThanks

WiIdfire · 22/10/2014 21:59

I'm out for this bus. Sad If I'd waited a little longer, could have saved myself a few quid. Ah well. Trundles off to find the November bus

Treaclepie19 · 22/10/2014 21:59

Ah treacle, Katy and wildfire sorry to hear AF has got you or you think is about to. Thanks treacle - hope parents eve was ok.

choccy keeping everything crossed for you Thanks

lucie that is really interesting. thank you for posting that. I really like the acronym. I think I'm going to try acupuncture. By coincidence my mum mentioned it today as being something to try, she knows a lady at her gym who is a zita west affiliated acupuncturist so she is going to pass me her number. I figure it can't hurt.

What a difficult day it's been on this bus. WineBrew To all.

angelaham · 22/10/2014 22:09

Katy I know it's really hard but you have only just come off the pill, I have been doing the spotting thing each month too, I have been taking seven seas trying for a baby which has vitamin b6 and other beneficial vitamins and I did not spot last month, I am not tempting fate about this month but all I can say is so far so good, I am taking these rather than pregnacare as they really screwed up my system, don't beat yourself up, you will get there, it's just going to take some time unfortunatly , I do it to myself each month build myself up and then get so disheartened when the witch comes ,

gennibugs · 22/10/2014 22:25

Oh just read back properly and spinning I see you are going to a ZW trained therapist! Coincidence. Grin
