Whiteroses good luck with the non TTC for a little while.

I think if AF doesn't arrive today I'll probably test tomorrow. I'm on CD29 and my UCL is 28, but I have had a 30 day one before so I'm not rushing, as I basically have no symptoms at all.

aly323 · 15/12/2009 02:45

Fingers crossed Ozzie! No symptoms/ every symptom, you just never know!!

I'm guessing I'll be starting tomorrow as I have a tiny bit of brown tinged CM and tested BFN this morning (10dpo). So, it looks like I have at least lengthened my lp by a day with the B vitamins this cycle. The acupuncturist is going to give me some herbs later this week, and I think I'm also going to ask about taking soy isoflavones to try to move my o up in my cycle.

I was really hoping for a BFP this month since my due date would have been DH's birthday. Darn.

WhiteRoses, I totally agree with you regarding talking to your SO about what's going on. You two seem to have really worked it out. Mine can always figure out what I'm up to anyway, he knows me too well. He's always "come through" for me, it just hasn't always been easy. Are you taking a break because of your promotion? When you do start in the new position? Of course we totally expect you to stay with us and to keep us updated. It sounds as though the break may actually be a good thing for you, you have an excellent attitude about it!

Ozziegirly · 15/12/2009 06:12

aly have you heard of Agnus Castus for regulating cycles? I hear it is very good at lengthening and regulating the luteal phase.

agnus castus

Hello,
Tis me, Pixie, in my Xmas name!

Ozzie - I haven't heard of Agnus Castus, I will have a look as this month seems to show that I have quite a short luteal phase. Good luck with the testing! That will be me in a few days!

WhiteRoses - you definitely need to hang around even when you are not TTC, think of all the gossip tips you will pick up! My birthday is September 16th. I am holding off checking when my LO's due date would be if I conceived this month as I have checked every other month and am superstitiously wondering if that is bad luck No logic, but I am grasping at anything that will give me that BFP!

Loving these Xmas smilies!

kkas · 15/12/2009 13:54

EWCM this morning!!!! thought it was all over for this month as i'm already on day 21, but really haven't seen a thermal shift and now this. thanks girlies for all your suggestions in getting me to try the grapefruit juice. it really does work.

might try to jump DH this evening although i will try to be subtle about it. i'm sure he will be able to figure things out though just like aly said. but i think this def calls for his fav nighty

claireinthecommunity · 15/12/2009 14:34

That really made me chuckle Pixie - loving the Christmas name.

Best of luck with your promotion WhiteRoses and with your break from TTC. Yes do stay around, I did when we took our break from TTC, it's lovely to hear how everyone is getting on and I think with my situation it was also a little encouragement to start trying again - but I know our reasons for taking a break are very different. And thank you for your kind words in a previous post about being pleased that things seemed to have settled into place for me

Ozzie and Aly, I'm keeping an eye on the thread for any news from you two

Good luck for tonight kkas

Not much to report from me, just in the 2ww and noticing every little twinge and ache and thinking maybe... When I was taking a break from TTC I had two whole months where I new I was definitely not PG and stupidly thought I would remember how a normal period felt - no chance, you just forget, very frustrating

Well I'm hoping you girls don't mind a little me me me post!!! I was gonna post earlier with a rant about af arriving early and me feeling so out of control. However it's all stopped and now I'm left wondering if I dare was it an implantation bleed????? Argh!

Not as yet! I'm thinking I should hang on till af is due which is Friday.... Think it's best if I keep busy and try not to let my imagination run away with me... Easier said than done!
Hate the whole not knowing what my body doing!!!

Thx white roses!! We'll see how my will power holds out!!!

aly323 · 15/12/2009 18:45

CJ your bit of bleeding sounds very positive!! I'll be very impressed if you hold out till Friday. If it was ib, you probably wouldn't have detectable HCG levels for another day or two at least.

It looks like I'm out. Temp dropped and spotting has begun. I'm going to wait for it to really kick in before I update my states. I'm kind of wondering if I've been jumping the gun on cd1. My af is so light, I can't always tell the difference between spotting and full flow. Does anyone else find themselves really hating the "cycle" part of their stats? I didn't mind when it was 1 or 2, but as it gets higher, it's starting to really irritate me.

It seems that the b helped at least a little. Ozzie thanks for the agnud castus tip. I'm considering it, but it seems that it helps most for estrogen dominance, and I'm pretty sure I have low estrogen. I'll try the soy this cycle and then reconsider for next cycle.

aly323 · 15/12/2009 18:47

Whoa, lotsa typos, sorry about that.

ceebs05 · 15/12/2009 18:53

Hi ladies, mind if I join this thread?

I'm TTC 1, cycle 2, UCL 26?, CD 24. I am failing miserably in my intentions not to get my hopes up and, despite feeling that AF is going to arrive any day now, am struggling to resist the temptation to get out the first response. This TTC business is messing with my head!

rollerbaby · 15/12/2009 19:41

Bah humbug AF has got me. Day 40 too. Not happy about that but not surprised either. what I do have now is a shiny new fertility kit, courtesy of my DP's one click Amazon account (he doesn't know he he he) so let's get scientific!

Back to day 1 which is kind of a relief actually and also I kept forgetting to take the folic acid last month, so this month I will do better I promise!

claireinthecommunity · 15/12/2009 20:44

Welcome to our thread ceebs05 I've put you on the list - all the best to you for this month.

Sorry to hear that Aly and Honey, I haven't changed your stats Aly but I have changed yours Honey - hope that's ok.

Oooh CJ, I have everything crossed for you

Any news Ozzie?

WhiteRoses I thought I would be PG by Christmas, today we bought a Christmas tree and whilst we were decorating it I wondered (and hope) that we will have our first baby by next Christmas - I imagine buying a 'baby's first Christmas' bauble for the tree next year... It's difficult and frustrating isn't it!?!

YorkshireTeaDrinker · 15/12/2009 22:32

Ozzie I am getting excited by your lateness. Any news? Are you going to test today? Really hoping for a BFP.

CJ, fingers crossed it was an IB. I think you are sensible to try and hold off testing till Friday, as any eariler will probably give you a BFN anyway.

I'm very hopeful for more BFPs by Christmas.

Much frustration here. I'm awash with EWCM and DH is staying away with work tonight. We did manage to BD yesterday and I'll leap on him as soon as he gets home tommorow evening, so hopefully that will be enough.

Ozziegirly · 15/12/2009 22:41

Morning - no news yet I'm afraid. I was going to buy a test last night, and I know this is really silly, but I didn't because I don't want to jinx it.

Also, at the moment, I feel like I could be pregnant, but as soon as I take the test and it's BFN then I know I"m not. I do realise this is a bit daft, but I have no symptoms at all.

Also, I know flying can mess up cycles, and I took 5 flights in 9 days right in the middle of this cycle, so I"m pretty sure that just threw off ovulation a bit.

I am on CD30 today, which matches the longest cycle I"ve had before, so I think I will wait and if nothing happens today or tomorrow I'll test on Friday.

claireinthecommunity · 15/12/2009 23:17

Oh Yorkshire that is frustrating, let's hope you've already done enough, but an extra one in tomorrow won't hurt

Ozzie this is getting exciting , you are doing so well to be holding off with the testing. My AF is due on Boxing day and I'm planning on not buying any tests so I have to wait until the shops re-open to get one I totally understand the could be PG thing, even now I'm imagining that I've conceived and we'll be celebrating our good news over Christmas - I can't help but day dream and hope.

Ozziegirly · 15/12/2009 23:34

THing is, I think I feel deep down that I'm not pregnant, which is why I'm not in any hurry to see that "Not pregnant" on the test!

I can fool myself at the moment that I still might be.

claireinthecommunity · 16/12/2009 00:02

It really does play with your emotions, you so deeply want to be PG but you're too afraid to believe you could be, because of the disappointment if you find out you're not.

I'm hoping for me that the festive season (and our work load) will help to take my mind off of it...

I truly hope it is good news for you Ozzie

claireinthecommunity · 16/12/2009 00:07
