Long cycle girls TTC #3

[Newbie0818]

New thread just in case the old one gets full and we lose each other!

Thanks everyone!

Yeah @Pol96, I just showed him the test when he got home, there was plenty of happy tears! He's over the moon, but a bit anxious this morning now reality has hit and it seems a long time away before we can get in for an early scan to check everything is OK.

@Neurotic90 did you temp this month?😊

@xoJellyBean I did, I've found it really helpful alongside the OPKs! I like knowing what's happening, especially after my previous cycle being so much longer than the rest had been.

@Neurotic90 that's great :) would you mind sharing your chart? I love looking at pregnancy ones for reference lol mine is confusing me this month!

Yeah, of course! I missed 5 days just before ovulation because I was on holiday and wanted a total break. The spikes before that are down to a cold I had.

Think I'll need to give up the thermometer soon, todays temp is making me anxious due to the slight drop.

Thanks for sharing!! @Neurotic90

Would you all mind having a nosey at mine... it's baffled me this month! @Pol96 any thoughts??

o ladies I rang the doctor for my levels today, for anyone who doesn't know I had my CD21 bloods done on CD23 last cycle but the cycle was 59 days long so there was no chance of ovulation by then but I finally ovulated on CD45 22 days after my bloods. 😴 I already had my results but was just told they were normal so wanted to check the numbers. They seem fine to me so these were the results :

Testosterone 1.3
FSH 5.6
LH 17.7
TSH 1.6
Progesterone 0.4

I'm hoping progesterone increases through your cycle so 0.4 22 days before ovulation isn't thag bad ?? I know its supposed to be much higher after ov and if I had my bloods repeated then hopefully that would have been the case. TSH at 1.6 is a relief too 🥺

@xoJellyBean maybe an implantation dip? I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to bbt to be honest.

@lucyrp glad you got your results and there's no obvious issues! I would think your progesterone levels would increase after ovulation too

Af is here, how the hell is that even possible at 8dpo 😭😭 so bloody frustrating!!

@xoJellyBean it could be an implantation dip but you won't know until tomorrow's temp. Did you do today's any differently which could have affected the reading? Really hope you get your bfp soon x

@lucyrp glad there's no obvious issues, I would think after ovulation the progesterone would be higher too, can you get more bloods done? X

Oh @xoJellyBean.. My other thought with your chart was that ovulation happened earlier than ff said (CD 16, which would put you at 11/12dpo) you had ewcm then a temp rise then.. X

@Pol96 thanks for your replies... it must've been earlier. But even at that, this is cd28 🤣 so early! Hate my body 🙃

@Neurotic90 thanks! That's what I'm thinking z

@Pol96 I asked about that but they're not keen on doing it, I'm waiting a referral for a fertility clinic and spoke to someone else and they said the doctors won't do the progesterone bloods on any other day than CD21 so even if I know I ovulate late they wouldn't do them 6-8dpo for me if it's not day 21. Stupid really

@xoJellyBean 28 day cycle.. How normal! I really hope you get your bfp soon, our body's can be so cruel x

@lucyrp that's so stupid! Surely they know not all cycles will have had ovulation by cd21! I hope the fertility clinic can be of more help

@Pol96 I managed to actually pin point ovulation for the first time in months so I thought il know I've ovulated 4 days after with my temp so I could then book an appointment for 6-8dpo but no that's hot how it works apparnerly ☹️

@xoJellyBean are you sure you didn't ov on cd16? Looks like you've had a steady rise from there? I'm also baffled lol.

@Pol96 how are you feeling with little man lovely? X

Think I've finally ov'd now 🙌🏼

@Pol96 imagine having a 28 day cycle 😅
@Newbie0818 I honestly have no idea! It's so unlike my other charts I really don't know what happened. We dtd around both dates but still no luck again

@lucyrp that's so irritating for you

@Newbie0818 I'm doing okay thank you, 10 weeks till due date today! Getting breathless now, think he's squishing my lungs up now!
Yay for ovulation! Good luck!

@xoJellyBean does anyone actually ever have a 28 day cycle!? 🤔

@xoJellyBean hmmm, well you DTD and that's all you can do really.

@Pol96 aw bless, 10 weeks and you'll have a tiny human! It's gone so fast I can't believe it's

Has anyone heard from @hollyywhoo?

@hollywhooo *

@Newbie0818 I can't wait!

@xoJellyBean I last heard from her on pm end of September/start of October.. I have sent another message since but no reply yet.
Hope you're okay @hollywhooo

@Pol96 hopefully she's ok! Ps how do you pm people? 🤣

@xoJellyBean I'm on the website on my phone and there's a little person icon top right, private message is an option and you just put in the user name you want to message!

Hi ladies how are you all? Sorry I’ve been quiet, my stress and anxiety has been bad last couple of weeks. So had my next fertility appointment yesterday and I have an under active thyroid of 5.5 so have to go on medication, but he said my egg reserve was great. So he’s going to give me medication for thyroid problem and put me on clomid.
