Any seats left on the bus please?

MissMrsMummy · 05/04/2015 11:28

woolly I use ics and temping to track ov. It's pretty reliable for me ad CD14. I just need my LP to be longer. I have been reading that you can be prescribed clomid to bring ov earlier. Then my LP would possibly be a bit longer. CD12 would be ideal. Going to ask consultant when I go in a couple of weeks.

Happy Easter everyone! Hope you're all relaxing (or DTD like bunnies!)

Happy Easter everyone! Easter Smile

dizzynorthern did AF turn up??

mumof1 did you get another flashing smiley today? What day do you start testing usually?

laura hope the discomfort gets better, sounds like it's linked to ovulation so a good sign! I never get pains around ovulation time but have noticed feeling exhausted for a few hours on suspected ovulation days the past few months.

Welcome frog and jemima! Easter Smile

Woolly84 · 05/04/2015 11:35

missmrs yes that sounds pretty reliable then, how long did you say your LP was? (Sorry I forgot!)
Yes have heard of clomid, hope that gets things sorted for you x

TrixieRay · 05/04/2015 12:43

Hi everyone, just checking in to say happy Easter, hope everyone is having a lovely long weekend. I got up early to do an Easter egg hunt for DH, can't wait until we have little ones!!
Welcome to everyone who has jumped on in the last few days Easter Smile
Have been having mild AF type cramping this morning and based on last 2 cycles she is due this evening so will check in again then. On the plus side have been pretty much PMT free, must be a good sign that the revamped diet has done something at least! Off out for Sunday lunch with DH now.
Any news from those due at the beginning of the month?

auxiliaryauroch · 05/04/2015 12:44

How many Easter eggs have you scoffed today? Easter Grin
Massive massive massive temp drop today 6dpo. Very pissed off but hoping it is not another 5day lp and somehow just a weird reading or early really dramatic implantation dip but sshhh we don't believe in those right?. Feeling a bit miserable about it though and checking my pants every five minutes for signs of AF. Easter Sad

auxiliaryauroch · 05/04/2015 12:48

miss I'll be taking soy isos this cycle if indeed today marks the end of my supershort lp again (only ovulated cd25 again too)! Works like clomid although not as good obviously and you're not monitored for health or effects like you would with clomid by your doctor but you just buy it at the pharmacy. Just in case you didn't know.

Rainy34 · 05/04/2015 13:29

Hi everyone happy easter, hope your all enjoying lots of chocolate.

i have another chance to join the April bus AF came on Thursday, upped my dosage of Evening primrose oil and i have had my first 28 day cycle since being off the pill and i have had one day of spotting that kicked in at 10dpo which is a record,

Rainy34 TTC1 cycle 10 BFP due 27th April

nightandthelight · 05/04/2015 13:32

Yay Rainy :)

Purdey reckons that I have an LP defect so am writing off this month and will order a thermometer :(

laurasdream · 05/04/2015 13:35

Hi ladies

I think I ovulated.Yay!! Easter Grin Easter Grin My temp was .45°c higher this morning than it was Thursday morning I slept in Friday morning & fell back to sleep with the thermometer in my mouth yesterday morning . I am not proper temping, but I am going to start back doing so, as I feel it guides me more about what is going on with my body! I will have to see if my temp continues to rise eeek! Fx Easter Smile

I wonder if the B vitamins threw my cycle out? I have never ovulated this late in my cycle Easter Confused

Trixie Fx the cramps are implantation cramps & AF stays away! x I can't wait for little ones too, as my son is too cool for school, and would laugh at me if I suggested an Easter egg hunt. Enjoy your lunch x We are going to my mums house soon for Easter dinner. It should be fun! Easter Smile

Welcome JemimaPuddleDuck2 & frogbubbles

Auxiliaryauroch Fx it is a implantation dip! Oh, nothing worse than knicker watching x A 5 day lp is very short...have you gone to the doctors about it? I am only after rejoining the buses, so I am not familiar with your particular situation..fx Af stays away!

laurasdream · 05/04/2015 13:38

Yay Rainy that is great news!! How much EPO do you take? Oh I wish that would happen to me! x

Night I know I have a lp defect as well Sad! It totally sucks & it means that I tend to menstruate more often. How long is your lp?

nightandthelight · 05/04/2015 13:49

No idea Laura I don't track anything! purdey is basing it on the fact that my normal cycle range is 23-28 days (last month was 24 days with 2 days of spotting beforehand.

How are you fixing it?

laurasdream · 05/04/2015 14:01

Night You have to first find out when you ovulate...maybe you just ovulate earlier in your cycle & your lp might actually be fine. I think it is a good idea for you to start temping, as it will indicate when you ovulate. I have never been able to fix it really Sad. I have had 2 chemical pregnancies that I am aware of. I know it is because I am conceiving, but my little bean doesn't have enough time to implant successfully. I start bleeding on either 9dpo, or I am lucky 10 dpo. That gives me a lp of 8/9 days. I am waiting to see the fertility doc, as I have tried agnus cactus, accupuncture, Reiki, vitamin b6 & none of them have worked. I need progesterone & only the fertility doc can help me.

nightandthelight · 05/04/2015 14:04

What's the waiting list like Laura? Fx you are seen very soon!

Rainy34 · 05/04/2015 14:05

laurasdream i took 2000mg until i ovulated, before that i was only taking 500mg, i spoke to the lady in holland and barrett and she said the recommended daily allowance was 2000mg and what i was taking was no where near enough, i have also noticed that this month my mood has been good which is not the normal either so I'm hoping its going to help me in the long term

tessiegirl · 05/04/2015 14:07

Happy Easter everyone!! Easter Smile Really sorry I haven't got long to post as we are off to a BBQ in a bit...in the snow!! Yes it is snowing in Sarajevo!! Sod off snow!!

Welcome to the newbies, lovely to have you on board!

Yay laursadream for ov!

Ooh aux it could be implantation at 6dpo!! Keeping fx!

Illiria California sounds lovely, is the move there permanent?

Rainy34 · 05/04/2015 14:26

laurasdream i just read your post that you are taking vitamin b6, are you taking that along with a b complex , if you are not then you really need to take a b complex with it too, i am taking holland and barrett busy bee slow release vitamin b complex 100 mg, i promise i dont work for holland and barrett lol i am taking these to stop my spotting before my period is due as i think my progesterone is lowering after ovulation,

Cariad2014 · 05/04/2015 14:31

I know I haven't been on here that much lately, that it's still ridiculously early (11/12dpo), that I've been here twice before and it hasn't worked out, but I thought it would be wrong of me not to tell you that I got a BFP on a CB Digi this afternoon.

I'm delighted (that I can still get upduffed with just one Fallopian tube) and petrified (of it all going wrong again) in equal measures. If I get that far, I should have an early scan at around 5 weeks to check that the bean has implanted in the right place. I doubt I'll start believing it's real until then.

DizzyNorthernBird · 05/04/2015 14:32

night I replied to you about temping on t'other thread but I agree with laura, you should temp for at least one cycle or so to figure out what's going on.....this is what I'm doing so I can establish a pattern what with my steady temps, then I can identify any problems before I ship myself off to the gp. Temping will either highlight an issue or put your mind at rest if all appears to be fine.....ie you ov early and LP looks to be a normal length.

laura yay for ov! I think other people have mentioned b vits changing their cycles? But if you're taking them for your LP then surely this is a positive sign?

woolly no AF yet, thanks for asking. I'm now cd31 and AF isn't due until cd33 at the earliest. I do usually see 2 days of spotting first so this might have been what I saw yesterday. But, my temps are now almost 0.2 higher than what they were on cd27, so there might be a chance I've ov'd late (and tough bloody shit if I did because we hadn't dtd for a week at that point). So.....if I did ov then, I won't get AF until cd40, so I'm very much stuck in limbo! However, what with me working night shifts there's a chance the high temps might be a red herring because they've been taken mid afternoon after a broken sleep....chart is full of empty circles and ff is refusing to give me a red line! Arghhhhhhhh!

and relax

auxiliary that sucks about the temp drop, fx it's just a blip, try not to stress about knicker watching.

Happy Easter Sunday all! Easter Smile

DizzyNorthernBird · 05/04/2015 14:35

Cariad!!!! Massive congratulations! What a lovely Easter surprise! I'm so so chuffed for you, I know you've been waiting this for a long time! Thanks for coming back to let us know Smile
