Still nothing to report.

I'm now utterly convinced that despite the monitor and OPK's I must not have surged enough to release the egg.

If I have O'd this month then I think cd25 must be it which will make me 9dpo and explain why I still don't have my period and I tested -ve again this morning, because it would simply be too early.

I caved and did a FR yesterday afternoon and it was negative.

Is there anything that could be wrong, other than pg, that delays a period?

I would say you're most likely 17dpo, poss 14 dpo....

Don't forget you could in theory conceive 2-3 days past ov, so even if it is 14 you could in reality be 11....

If it's 17 then it may be that you have some HCG (enough to stop period) but not enough to show on a test....so a chemical pregnancy could extend LP without a proper positive... (sorry just thinking of the possibilities...)

although I have to say my LP varies from 12 to 15 with no discernible reason....

Squack I have no idea what's going on I'm sorry it's so confusing for you. I can imagine a period being late, but an LP of 17 days is a bit OTT, especially when yours is normally 12...! You're only one day short of the 18 temps over the coverline rule - I'd make an appointment to see your GP.

AF is absolutely horrible today - I feel so groggy and crampy, like I'm hungover. I have a question though - I had three days of spotting before it came on heavily. The first of the three days started off light and then it got progressively heavier, but by the third day I still wasn't needing to change a panty liner pretty much all day. Would you count today as CD1? as today there's no mistaking that it's definitely my period.

PrePg I would count today as cd1 {{hugs}}.
Lottie I think I am 12DPO as I have cramps today...usually a tell tale sign... think we will be upping our committment to bd for 3-4 months before putting ourselves towards ivf...

on a different note my wii fit came today and its fab!! and its such a glorious day

PrePG · 12/05/2008 13:05

Thanks, both. I'll be okay, just initial disappointment. Also in Sainsbury's yesterday had a bit of a wobble as I saw two women with little tiny bumps and thought they must be about 20 weeks or so, which is what I would've been this week

Lottie I took 100mg/day of B6 this month and was hoping it would lengthen my LP. I dont' know if it had any effect or just the effects of the mc were stronger? The month we did conceive, I was religious about the gym, so I think I need to get back into a really good routine.

Oh Prepg

I'm going to make an appointment for the GP's at the end of the week.
By that time I'll be either 21dpo, or 13dpo. Late which ever way you look at it.

Lottie you told me off for FF fiddling!

Btw I think Fruity's O'd you know, I think she's in the middle of her 2ww as well

Goodness, you disappear for a few days and look what happens. Tink must be ecstatic.

Squack - I got a bit confused last month as according to FF I had ov'd on day 12 yet I seemed to get AF then on day 18dpo which seemed mightily long. I could only assume that FF had got it wrong although the symptoms and temps seemed right for ov. I don't know. I almost thought I might have to make a trip to the doctor but at least if you've made the appointment you'll either have come on by then or you can get a blood test...

Prepg hang on in there.....

Lottie have started hoo har temping and have found that my temps are about 0.3 - 0.5 degrees higher than orally but also that they are only about 0.1 degree different from day to day - so a less jaggedy chart. I know you're not supposed to hop out of bed, but I tend to get up and go for a pee and do it straight after (sorry TMI) so everyday I'm doing it the same. I think dh might get a bit fed up with me rummaging around under the duvet cover with the bleepy digital thermometer whilst he's trying to get his last 10mins in before getting up !!

Forgot to add details to the chart,..

minxi · 12/05/2008 13:50

Lottie the first week the needles were in for 20 minutes - the last 2 times about 45 minutes. I am going to try to go every week, have a another appointment this Thursday. I am going away for the whole 6 weeks of summer this year so will have to stop accupuncture for then, but at least will have a good idea of whether it is making or made any difference - i guess a positive test would show me that...

oh and for me it is a big thing to do as I hate needles - terrified, so when he says breathe in and then out - I feel like I don't breathe for about 10 minutes with the shock but I always fall asleep...so must be fairly relaxing unless for me I am always racing around so by the time I get there half an hour nap of an afternoon is fab

Right got to finish cleaning!

minxi · 12/05/2008 13:53

Oh Prepg sorry to hear you are very sad, you have every reason to be but you will be pregnant again soon I'm sure its only your body sorting itself out. positive vibes sending your way..

fym · 12/05/2008 18:03

I think it's 12-48 hours that the egg is 'available' for fertilization.... but it's been a while since I looked this up. If using temping for contraceptive purposes you wait three days past ovulation then can BD again on the 4th day safely.

Squack · 12/05/2008 18:29

I'm spotting & cramping, hurray!

Thought it would never come

Morning all. changed my screenname in hopes of it being true I'm really PrePG in disguise!

Squack I'm sorry she got you But I'm glad you're happy. Sometimes her arrival is a good thing in that at least your'e not confused anymore...So do you think you ovulated earlier than FF said you did and that's why your period was so late ? or, er, on time?!?!

My temps have been pretty weird lately. They seem to be neither very low pre-O nor very high pre-O. I think it's because lately I've been so worried about waking up to take my temp that I wake up several times before it's actually time. I didn't realize that just opening your eyes or leaning over to look at the clock could have an effect on your temp - but I think mine has. Right - need to get back on track this month. that means getting up in the morning at 7am to go to the gym so that I can be dead tired when I go to bed in the evening and not wake up before my alarm! Who needs a baby when I can't even sleep through the night myself!

lastboxoftampons · 13/05/2008 10:20

Sorry, I meant nor very high post-O

Absolutely no clue as to the reason for the change in LP.
I don't care either way tbh. Pleased it's come, but I'm in a furiously bad mood today.

I'm deciding not to chart this month I think. I don't think I can be bothered tbh. The cp the first month and mammoth stress of last month has put me off knowing.

I'm just going to 'not bother' and see if that makes a difference.

Actually last month may have been affected by the fact that I ran out of VitE and kept forgetting to go and get some more.
IIRC when I had trouble conceiving dd, before taking the VitE, I had longer less predictable cycles too. It could be that I suppose.

I haven't been running in a long time it feels, probably because of the darker nights, but now it's much lighter I'll pull on my shoes and start up again. I always find it 'clears me out'.
I also need to gain at least 3lbs before I hit my 'conception weight' if there is such a thing .

Like the new name too

Good Luck All!
I'll check in to see all the bfp's I'm sure

OP posts:
minxi · 13/05/2008 11:46

squack good luck with the non temping and gaining weight (wish that was my problem)!!

Lottie hope Dp results are ok.

Lastbox funny name - actually when I was pg with ds1 and did't know - I was in boots and bought about 4 packs tampons / pads you name it (special offer) turned out didn't need them and they were left in the drawer for 10 months!

As for me no idea - if I am 13DPO then have no symptoms except cramps - although not today, yesterday and day before was very painful but all gone now and temp up again today.... if I put back in the monitor info it puts me at 7 DPO - I only use the monitor to see if there is a peak reading (only had one in December!) Confused anyway - will give it a few days as there is normailly a sign of coloured cm when due on.... feel fine though!
