Ladies, the old thread has now closed so I created a new one but can't post the link, hopefully you'll find it and we can continue.

She didn't suggest that jojo but sounds like a good idea! I'm hoping that by doing the progesterone test, if it is low, something can be done about it. I'll just do a HPT test 4 times a day to see if they darken! Already done 3 today. It's so satisfying to see a line after so many blanks!

JoJoyorker · 28/03/2018 13:39

Hopefully they will do both tests for you. I think the hcg is the standard one they do. Do the tests darken during the day?

Cleozeta · 28/03/2018 13:43

Hard to tell as I've done them on 3 different types of tests! Was pleased with the cbfm one as that is a digital so hsg needs to be higher. Other 2 were line sticks. Will test again with same types tomorrow and compare

Wow wow and wow again!! That’s very exciting!! And is the very reason for this thread! SO excited for you! Whoop whoop sending lots of positivity your way!! How long you been doing the TCM - remind me.. just about to give up!! As for the Pre Menopausal comment - really? At 40?!! Give us a break!! Sending baby dust!! 🌟

littlemimosa · 28/03/2018 15:59

Cleo just been thinking, maybe you ovulated twice since you had two temp rises?!

Your bfp has given me so much hope:)

And maybe that temp dip was the implantation dip? :)

Ladies can one of you set up a new link and post it please. I believe we're on the last page and soon we won't be able to post any new messages. I can do it but it won't be until tonight so hopefully we won't run out of room by then.

Been doing TCM about 5 or 6 weeks I think?

Mimosa I was wondering that too! Was a really strange cycle temps wise.

KeepingTheFaith9 · 28/03/2018 16:45

Beyond excited for you Cleo. All things crossed - the TCM is now on the table again!! Just had this to celebrate in your honour love!! X

40+ ttc: 2018 full of bfp's!
Cleozeta · 28/03/2018 16:47

This does bode well for you ladies, even if this does not stick for me, if I can get a bfp with high fsh and early menopause (as dr so nicely put it) then you all, with your great lab results have no excuses!! Get cracking! Wink

Good luck, let's keep this bfp ball rolling

Cleozeta · 28/03/2018 16:49

Looks delish Faith! Grin

Alibaba2 · 28/03/2018 20:52

Woah Cleo, so pleased for you! I had a feeling about you this cycle! You can get those tests done privately but maybe best to just relax and enjoy it! Congrats!!!! Do you think it was down to the TCM?

Alibaba2 · 28/03/2018 21:04

Do you think your Chinese doctor knew and that’s why he wanted you to come in on a certain date?

Cleozeta · 28/03/2018 21:45

I do wonder that Ali, as it was after he looked at my FF chart. He normally just says come back in a week, or 2 weeks, he's never specified a date before. He's a man of little words but he clearly knows what he's doing.
I'll go in on Saturday as planned, he may have some cunning herbs to ward off miscarrage

Alibaba2 · 28/03/2018 22:22

Yes the guy I saw said he could lower MC risk with herbs. They can also tell you’re pg by listening to your pulse!

My friend’s chart went weird the cycle she fell pg. Even before implantation!

JoJoyorker · 28/03/2018 22:28

That all sounds very clever. It will be interesting to see what he says on Saturday!

Orchid222 · 28/03/2018 22:43

Yes they have herbs for everything!
Ali are you going for TCM as well?

And I should say, I think I have a part in all the bfp's, after all I named this threat 2018 full of bfp lol. But so far we're doing well, this is what, 3rd one this year? Or 2nd?

JoJoyorker · 29/03/2018 07:16

Thanks orchid! I've just thought Cleo. When I was researching vit b complex before I started taking it I remember reading you shouldn't stop taking it when you get a BFP. Something about the B6 increases progesterone so to stop could cause problems. The other Bs are too high for pregnancy so you need a vit B6 on its own.

Alibaba2 · 29/03/2018 07:20

I’m tempted Orchid but it sounds like the ones you both see are excellent and I don’t know how to find one that is as good. I did see one in 2016 but obvs didn’t work. Are you having Acu too?

Your turn next Orchid!

Haha Ali mine says she's excellent but I'm not pregnant yet! If you want I can give you her details you're probably not too far away from surbiton?

In other news I got my fertility clinic appointment for May 😭 it's early May but still another cycle away and I just don't know if I can wait that long. Really tempted to do IUI privately next month now that my HyCoSy is done unless, of course, a miracle happens and I get a bfp in 2 weeks time. FInally got a positive opk today but its cd22! So my ovulation will be about a week later than the doctor's estimate last week . Looks like TCM is not regulating my cycle in that respect though I have read some women had weird cycles after hycosy.

Thanks jojo I was wondering about the b complex. I asked dr yesterday and she said I should stop taking it, but I had heard the B6 was good for progesterone. I've ordered some pregnacare max, which contains B6 so if that arrives today I can start on that.
Did another test this morning and it has gone darker thankfully!
Orchid hopefully you won't need fertility clinic when May comes around
