I only have a frer Jem, but def not feeling pregnant. Think my body is not doing what it should again. Fed up trying to figure out what is what.

Yes I heard that you are more fertile after a miscarriage too. Don't listen to what he said tee.

Agree would be much easier if we could have obviously signs like glow red for ovulation, glow green for pregnancy and glow blue for AF!

MotherOfBeagles · 08/12/2016 21:33

can you give it a few more days footy and see what happens with your temps? Maybe go from there.

tee its true! i seriously cant believe he said that how bloody unprofessional and insensitive and just down right bollocks. Think i'd be inclined to pass that on to his boss!

how you feeling jam?

Also yes! 1000 times yes to different glows! i've been reading today about the impact of short lps on pregnancy and basically scared myself. My lp is 10 days max - what if the egg doesnt have time to implant properly before it starts shedding? they reckon can take between 5 and 12 days, i hope i have speedy eggs!

Tee4me · 08/12/2016 22:18

I think there are things you can do to lengthen LP... think I heard Evening Primrose Oil and B6 supplements. Got a vague memory about Royal Jelly too. Could be way off tho! I've never had an issue with LP length, so never really researched it, but I know other ladies on here have talked through various methods to improve it, as it'll definitely help if egg needs a bit of extra time to implant x

Nimisha · 08/12/2016 22:29

Hi all,

Beagles I have a short ish lp too. Normally 11- 12 days but it was 10 earlier in the year and got longer . I think that it just means we have to have an early implanting egg to get BFP. Definitely don't test before 9dpo. No matter how long the lp the hcg levels increase the same rate.
LOL footy with the glow sign.

Fingers crossed jam. When will you test? I have a moon cup so no having to stock up on tampons. After my mmc I had to send dh to the shops to got pads as I had none in.

Londonjam · 08/12/2016 23:12

Day 1, cycle 13 Xmas Sad

Footy1 · 09/12/2016 06:53

Oh no sorry Jem. Was that out of the blue or had u been getting cramps? You must be really disappointed,but on a positive note you can let your hair down over Christmas. Flowers

Mimilicious013 · 09/12/2016 07:12

Sending massive hugs your way jemFlowersWineFlowers .lt is super frustrating Xmas Sad

Waves tee,foot, nim,beagles, earth and all the grads . have the flu again in the fw. what a bummer.

MotherOfBeagles · 09/12/2016 07:59

Sorry jam. That really is shit. At least you can have a few Grin drinks without worrying now?

Uh mimi I feel your pain. Lots of fluids and get your feet up.

Hi nim thanks for the reassurance! I did get a bfp in July but lost it early and now wondering if short lp was the reason why. I've been taking seven seas trying vits for months. They've got folic and b6, reckon that's enough? Also after my cp tampons and pads don't work for me so I'm a moon cup convert lol

Thanks tee suppose the worse thing I can do is stress about it. But it's not easy when it's the tww as there's nothing else to focus on is there?! lol it's all hocum and witch craft I'm sure it is.

Londonjam · 09/12/2016 10:53

Feeling pretty sad. Got GP appointment next week, so am going to have a few days off thinking about anything TTC and try and pick myself back up. Fertile wishes with all you, see you next week xx

Nimisha · 09/12/2016 11:16

Big hugs jam

Footy1 · 09/12/2016 12:26

What is a moon cup? I've never heard of it?

Footy1 · 09/12/2016 12:28

Temp went up a bit again today. If another one tomorrow then I think I'll call it ovulation?!

MotherOfBeagles · 09/12/2016 12:56

Really sorry jam look after yourself.

Fingers crossed for another rise footy!

Today. I. Hate. My. Boobs. Angry

Footy1 · 09/12/2016 14:01

Do your boobs hurt beagles? Mine hurt too. Only cycle I've really noticed it. For me it's the clomid as nothing much else is happening at the mo. Really hope I've ovulated now? On the clomid forum they say to disregard the temps from cd 3-7 whilst on clomid and also disregard the temps cd7-15 as clomid still in system. My chart looks all over the place now. How's yours looking?

Make sure you come back jam! Hope you're ok, and getting lots of tlc. Xx

How you tee? Anymore bleeding?

Hope u feel better mimi, I've escaped colds this year.. A first for me. Plenty of vit C. Just stuff the tissues up your nose whilst u dtd. U don't want to miss the egg. Xx

MotherOfBeagles · 09/12/2016 15:03

footy they are a bit disgusting when you talk about it but practical. It's a reusable sanitary product, like a tampon but literally a cup. I always felt I should use one as I'm a recycling but but never could bring myself to. Then after my MC my period got so heavy tampons and pads were useless so I tried one and am a complete convert now.

MotherOfBeagles · 09/12/2016 15:06

They've not bloody stopped since ovulation footy but really bad today. Angry that's annoying about discarding temps but at least it might be an answer? Keeping fingers crossed that tomorrow temp answers the question.

My temps at the minute attached. Pretty boring tbh not crazy high but not rocky and no more increases or dips so a bit like well... what does that mean?

Wow I must have been asleep when these products came out! I've honestly not heard of these.

Your chart looks good, nice steady post ov temps.

My chart is all over the place, I'm really worried I'm not ovulating again :( so disheartening. Really hope I get a BFP or at least AF soon. Even Poas today bfn but opk was still dark!

Footy1 · 09/12/2016 17:49

Here's my chart also. My earlier temps were high but on clomid forum ladies say to ignore the first approx 14 days of temps as the drug elevates body temp.

MotherOfBeagles · 09/12/2016 17:55

I had that early jump in August footy my temps were a bit more all over the place but here's a picture to show you. Don't loose faith it could happen yet. And positive opks are a good sign surely?

Hullo all hope all well. The hospital had me in for bloods mon, wed and today and they are now happy that hormone has gone down enough (down to 90) that I don't need to go back. So in the circs I am pleased there is no intervention needed and could have been worse. Bleeding is much lighter now and will hopefully stop and I'll be ready for cycle 2 and whatever that brings. my husband is happy to try again right away if I want but he's worried about me being ok.

It's not easy this is it? The early pregnancy service at hospital were really lovely and that makes big difference I think. This is a whole new world. Good luck all x

Mimilicious013 · 10/12/2016 07:08

Sorry you have been going through a rough time earth.lt definitely isn't easy and worse with a complication. Sending big hugs Flowersand hoping the next cycle will be better for you.

Thanks foot and beagles ,the flu has turned into a cough grrr but managed to dtd in that lousy state (couldn't miss out on the egg lol).dh was shocked but he seemed to enjoy himself. I'm no expert on the charts but have everything crossed for your bfps.

Hope you feel better jemWineWine.enjoy your weekend

tee and nim how are you?

Tee4me · 10/12/2016 08:46

Morning,
Totally agree with Mim, trying is testing enough even with a perfect cycle, let alone the added complications of miscarriages, irregular bleeds, repeated attempts to ovulate. I've got plenty of faith we'll all get there though, we have to.
Earth hope this all calms down for you soon and you can crack on with the next cycle. Very encouraging that you conceived in your first month although it sadly wasn't viable. I'm sure you'll fall again in no time.
Beagles have the boobs eased off yet? Hope temp has stayed up!
Jam I'm so sorry to are onto cycle 13 (same as me now!). Looks like you will be fertile over Christmas week, it's a great time to fall. Think I conceived DS on 28th December 2011 (it's when I got my peak opk). Just focus on really enjoying Christmas and your body will take care of the rest. Hope you and DH are both off work and can enjoy lots of couple time.
Mim hope you caught the egg and feel better soon!
Footy really feel for you constantly having to second guess ovulation. You do so amazingly well keep chipping away at DTD! Your DH won't know what's hit him when you get your bfp and give yourself a well earned rest! He better make the most of it now!

CD8 here and my temp staying really low for now which is great. Was still bleeding yesterday, but so far just spotting today. Really hope it's my last day with pads and we can start DTD by tomorrow. Last hpt was Thursday and was getting weaker. Will test again later and really hope for as close to negative as possible! I won't be able to rely on opks if still hcg in my system.

Footy1 · 10/12/2016 09:57

Hey everyone.

Earth, I agree with Tee, you will def fall easily again. Don't let this knock you, just build up your strength again and immune system and you will be fine.
Hope you DH is supporting you well.

Mimi super efforts! Bet you tried not to cough whilst swimmers were making their way to the Gold! Ha ha..Grin

Beagles, my temp still up so third higher than previous 3 before the jump so fingers crossed. Haven't got any cramps, cervix was still quite high yesterday. Will check again later. What's your cervix like now? How's your temp today?

Tee I really am trying to not get too stressed but just when I nail the deeds ovulation doesn't happen. So timing is crucial at the mo. I am getting tired with it and really just want a predictable cycle. If I haven't ovulated this month then it won't happen now, as clomid should force it out and if that's not happening then I'm wasting my time with it. So if nothing happens 14days from now I'm going to induce bleed and have a few months off clomid to see what happens. Glad things are coming to an end of m/c and you get to enjoy Christmas.

Jem I conceived my ds on New Year's Eve! So fingers crossed for u.

MotherOfBeagles · 10/12/2016 13:53

I started a new thread! I didn't want to lose you all as I'm at the in laws now.
