Reinstating the gin deck from a previous bus for AF arrivals, and stocking up on pineapple juice and Brazil nuts, fx for lots of BFPs this month.

Well either embryo transfer tomorrow, or if my OHSS symptoms are too bad then they will all get frozen for next month.
They've given me some medicine to combat the OHSS but haven't managed today's dose yet as it will just end up coming back up. X

^ my previous lp has only been around 10-11 days

sammy feel better lovely xx

RalucaMorena · 17/07/2015 11:03

Kir I heard b complex helps lp. I took it last month as the previous one I had 10 days lp. Not sure if vitamin helped or not but my lp was 12-13 days. Started on b complex again after ov this month. Fx!

Kirjava · 17/07/2015 11:24

Not sure I want to drag out my already long cycles Hmm

Mummyofonesofar · 17/07/2015 11:33

Kir a healthy LP is 10-16 days so says the NHS, however, USA guidlines where they welcome people temping etc and people having more body awareness say at least 12 days for a healthy LP where an egg can stick. So most people on here try to lengthen it to at least a healthy 12 days. As implantation can happen between 7-10 days, an egg may be trying to implant but AF may arrive anyway, taking the egg with it.

Kirjava · 17/07/2015 12:12

Will see what happens this month. Planning on taking soy next month or should I take b complex? Or both?! So confused!

Aufwiedersehenpetrarch · 17/07/2015 12:20

Kir I wish I could write more to you right now. Remind me please later. Just because I've done the soy done the b6 done the lp shit. So tired of it all.
Sammy I'm so sorry to read that things are not better yet! Will you make a call on the transfer tomorrow?

Aufwiedersehenpetrarch · 17/07/2015 12:25

I still don't get why the cup will work. It'll catch the jizz but then it'll sit in a little pool away from your cervix unless your mooncup is actually enfolding your cervix like a condom and it certainly the spermies aren't going to haul themselves out of the cup by their tiny sperm tails. For one the sides are too smooth. Surely.
Gynaecological wisdom says it doesn't matter because ejaculation forces the sperm into the cervix and it is only then that the ewcm does the job of helping to facilitate them through the cervix and into the uterus. I still try to lie down afterwards though because I want to be pregnant so stupidly badly. Hmm

Nomio230 · 17/07/2015 12:31

Sammy, I am so sorry you are suffering. Please don't worry about reading our posts, but just update us on your news whenever you can. I have heard that drinking lots of Lucozade can help with OHSS. Might be worth a try if you can face it. I really hope you are able to go through with the transfer tomorrow. Flowers

Kir, I tried B6 for my LP & it didn't do anything, but I have heard success stories from other people.

Mummy, yay for the temp increase!

Mummyofonesofar · 17/07/2015 13:06

Auf the cup effectively suctions itself to you cervix, I guess they could sit in the bottom of the cup, but as the cervix contracts after sex I guess they could get sucked up the vacuum? Plus as you slide it in it must collect ewcm to allow the sperm something to swim through up into the cervix. I still lay down afterwards so I guess they can still swim up that way but at least I can hop out of bed after 10 mins and not suffer with leakages. Then just pour what is left away after a couple of hours. I don’t know really if it would make a difference, but also happy to try anything!

Thanks Nom !!

Kirjava · 17/07/2015 14:22

Thanks auf fx I'm upduffed and won't need to take either but welcome your experience!!!

Hairstylisttoboris · 17/07/2015 14:32

Fwiw I got a whole half day or once a whole extra day on to my LP by taking heavy doses of vit b 6. But I found that soy taken from cd 4 in high doses has had a better effect on my cycle regulating all phases to closer to 'normal'. My cycles are short. I don't take vit b complex or b6 each month as there can be significant health issues associate with taking over the long term the kind of doses you need to affect your lp.

Kirjava · 17/07/2015 15:28

Interesting boris. Thanks. B vits sound not so good.

Hairstylisttoboris · 17/07/2015 15:39

Some people swear by them, but they are not a good long term solution (not that I hope anyone would need them long term).

Hairstylisttoboris · 17/07/2015 15:51

Ladies I a have a 'what would you do' conundrum. Any advice? DH has a close knitt community of friends who are also work colleagues. One of the guys is having an affair with a much younger single woman. We all know the mans wife really well and their kids. The man and his lover are not being particularly discreate about it, we've seen them out in town together more than once. Colleagues have spoken with the younger other woman but she won't talk or stop it. No one has tackled the man yet. DH now wants to talk with him. I don't think he should though - as much as I think it's shit it's not our business. What would you do, or what would you advise my DH to do? DH also manages the woman... We are going round for dinner with the family in a few days and neither of us want to go.

Nomio230 · 17/07/2015 16:41

Blimey, Boris, that is a tricky one. If it were me, I would say something, but can completely understand why you would be reluctant. Do you think the husband maybe wants to be found out so he can leave his wife? Maybe that is why he is not being very careful.

RalucaMorena · 17/07/2015 16:57

About vit b: I understand that if taken during folicular phase it can delay ovulation.

I only took it last month between ovulation and af. The fact that I had an almost normal lp might be due to it or not. Not sure.

Mummyofonesofar · 17/07/2015 17:23

Boris what a drama! If I was your DH I would cancel the dinner via the man saying that he's aware of the affair and don't feel comfortable sitting across the table from his wife while knowing what he is doing to her.

Boris - I agree with mummy, that dinner would be so awkward!

Its been another fairly rubbish day for me sickness wise, but does seem to be lifting now. Clinic couldn't prescribe anti sickness as they didn't have a doctor there this afternoon, however after an argument with the gp receptionist, then the duty doctor dh has gone out to pick up some anti sickness pills. So I will take one of those tonight anyway just to try to get a good nights sleep.

We have to be at the clinic 10am tomorrow, for a scan first to check the OHSS has improved, them if it's going ahead embryo transfer will be at 10.30. Xx
