Mumof1sofar · 11/05/2015 21:07

*poas!!!

loopylou1984 · 11/05/2015 21:13

Haha peas!!

Sarah day 5 (or 3 in my case?) was to test prolactin, TSH, LH, FSH and Oestradiol - please don't ask me what they are for, I'm just reading from my results sheet!
Day 21 was progesterone X

DizzyMerry · 11/05/2015 21:19

Great to see you back miis.

Fx for a static tomorrow or temps confirming ov woolly.

I'm back to my positive self again. Have also booked acupuncture for Saturday. The lady also prescribes herbs if they're needed and she seems knowledgeable. I have decided to try anything because I am ovulating so don't see what clomid will do for me and IVF is a last resort. I'd like to avoid invasive treatments if I can.

Will catch up properly later as my DSIL is back today so have been quite busy.

Sarah563 · 11/05/2015 21:37

thank you sammylou
did your tests show the hormones were working correctly?

MiissMartiin · 11/05/2015 22:01

parsnipbob · 11/05/2015 22:39

dizzy, I hope your DSIL is doing ok Flowers

welcome to newbies!

Woolly84 · 11/05/2015 22:39

dizzym that's great you're feeling positive, I hope the acupuncture helps Smile

miis yes I have been remembering! Grin my timing isn't always spot on but fx it's enough to see a pattern. Have you carried on temping??

coffeenut · 11/05/2015 22:58

parsnip your chart looks fab! fingers crossed for you. You too banana!

parsnipbob · 11/05/2015 23:24

Thanks coffee!! Hope you are feeling ok :)

BananaRaces · 12/05/2015 07:00

Well ladies, it's a BFN. Bum.

But I'm only 11dpo and it's not an FRER, so if AF still hasn't arrived in a couple of days I will test again.

My bbt temperature is still high and I still feel weird. If other cycles are anything to go by then AF should start today... Goodness knows what's going on! Confused

loopylou1984 · 12/05/2015 07:00

Sarah - yes my tests were all normal. All our tests have been normal so there's no reason we're not getting pg! V. Frustrating! Xx

autonomousplum · 12/05/2015 07:20

pog a gin tasting omfuckinggod! Can I can I can I come? I'll so take your place!
banana hoping af says away today and you can test again in a couple of days! You're right it is early for a hpt. did you watch a three hour David Attenborough documentary to get you through the night, or the whole of pirates of the Caribbean?

autonomousplum · 12/05/2015 07:21

Ps where are my cupcakes?

parsnipbob · 12/05/2015 07:27

Sorry for bfn banana, hope it's just too early :)

Anyone else 7dpo? Hate this bit!!

BananaRaces · 12/05/2015 07:35

Thanks ladies. Smile

Autonomous - your instructions were unclear... I flossed the pomegranate and peed in the Lib Dems gardens like you said... But I didn't receive my David Attenborough DVD! Please explain.

P.S. Here's your cake -> Cake

88blueshoes · 12/05/2015 07:47

Hello, could I join please? I'm 29, TTC #1. AF is due 29 May but I'm v impatient so I'll probably test a few days before that...

88blueshoes · 12/05/2015 07:48

Oh and I'm a newbie, on cycle 1!

nightandthelight · 12/05/2015 08:02

Welcome 88 :)

So sorry for BFN Banana but still early days!

Peed on an opk this morning, blank face. It's only CD6 though so relieved really :)

Sorry for bfn banana Sad I've got my fingers firmly crossed that it's just too early for you. Maybe try again in a couple of days.

Welcome 88 good luck to you

I got offered a seat on the train this morning. I do actually get offered seats quite often when I've got the toddler cos she sits on my lap, but today I was on my own. Guess I'm fat then. Bugger Sad

ZippyBoo · 12/05/2015 08:50

Still no AF Hmm. I didn't poas today as I'm going to try not to obsess about what's going on down there. Just wish AF would come now. All symptoms seem to have stopped anyway.

pulpi · 12/05/2015 09:25

Quick question for you ladies - what kind of pants does your partner wear? DH has these boxer brief things that are rather tight, so I've bought him some slightly looser-fitting boxers (although not the great flappy kind I remember from doing my dad's laundry). I have the hunch that these tight/stretchy briefs keep everything too warm. Anyone had success with changing pants?

nightandthelight · 12/05/2015 09:27

I'm sure I read in Zita West that pants don't make a difference pulpi :) it can't hurt to change though and I am glad that DH prefers the loose cotton ones!

Well, stay true to her bitchy nature, it looks as though the witch has now arrived. 3 hours after I wasted a HPT! Angry

I shall learn from this cycle that not only can you have no symptoms and be PG... You can also have all the symptoms and not be!!

Also, judging by my chart I OVd on CD19 and AF arrived on CD29. This means my LP (for this month at least) was only 10 days long. Defo going to keep temping and see whether this is an odd cycle or whether my LP is just a bit short normally. Also, my BBT didn't drop today, it's still really high - it seems to be following Dizzy's example... so I shall see what happens to it over the next few days... It's a bugger not to have that warning drop off...

Oddly enough, I'm not feeling as demoralised as I have other months when AF shows up though... weird! I may now disappear for a couple of days while the witch stabs me in the abdomen though.

Thanks you all SO MUCH for your support this cycle ladies, I couldn't have got through the last couple of days without you. Star

My new stats: BananaRaces, age 31, TTC #1, Cycle 6, BFP due 10th June.

pulpi · 12/05/2015 10:01

Thanks night! At nearly 6 months ttc, I'm willing to try just about anything.

I think we're due for our BFPs around the same time, Banana. June will be our month. My new stats:

31, ttc #1, cycle #6, bfp due 7th june... just when I get home from holiday!
