****October bus ready to depart****

[stuffedmk]

OK I have just worked out that if my next cycle is the same length as this one was then I will actually be due 1st October if I get pg so rather than sitting at the back of the September bus I thought I might skip straight ahead to the next one lol.

Plenty of chocolate and biscuits ready for the journey

I worked there before he did hence the friends!

I love these threads , they aren't just ttc support everyone seems to support you in anything

thanks everyone

Afternoon, all. Have fiddled with the stats - am now on Day 2 of what feels like cycle 567 but is in fact cycle 8.

Hope all goes well with the OFSTED inspection - I'm a teacher and would rather poke my own eyes out with a rusty nail than have that lot snuffling through my paperwork and critiquing my teaching.

Hi all, I'm feeling pretty down in the dumps today, spotting heavily and temps dropped below cover line on 8DPO, so pretty sure that with a 10 day Luteal phase last cycle and similar again this cycle that my LP is too short to sustain a pregnancy.

Spent last night googling like mad and have discovered that this is prob happening because of my high prolactin levels from breastfeeding.

Plan of action is to drop 1 feed to 3 per day and to start taking 100mg of vit B per day (supposed to help with this prob).

If this doesn't sort out my next cycle I'll go to GP and see if he'll prescribe something to help that will allow me to continue breastfeeding.

I'm just feeling thankful that I'm temping so have identified this problem pretty early. Every cloud eh.....

nymph sorry to hear you are feeling down, I really hope that things turn around for you soon. [hugs]

sbflowers, have you had the day 3 and day 21 bloods done? Short LP is also caused by low progesterone and these bloods should test that as well as your prolactin levels.. The other thing that is supposed to help regulate your cycle, apart from B6 is agnus castus taken from CD1 to ovulation. Don't know how that affects bf though.

nymph, hope that ofsted visit has a good outcome.

So, who is poas when? Am holding out for Sunday but may crumble and go Saturday. Got spotting today which I hope is implantation bleed and Saturday is 3 days from now...But I did promise myslef to wait until after missed AF (if...) and hopefully save a fortune on tests. Maybe I'll wait for you SilverBoots?

Lord, isn't it depressing here today? Drive the bus to Cadbury's World!!!

I'm a teacher too - OfSTED suck.

I was one of those annoying women who conceived before they'd even ben trying for a month with my dd. I feel like smacking myself in the face now - I wonder how many people I really pissed off???

hehe you dont have to post the results, but i think its quite funny

Ilovegregoryhouse thanks for your reply - not had any bloods done as only just realised the gravity of my short lp situation. Have been taking agnus castus for about 3 months - think that was what kick started AF's return, so will keep on with them too.

Am feeling a bit cheerier after a big strawberry milkshake with a friend.

Ov sticks arrived - thanks everyone who told me how they work! Down to some serious hard work (for dh) this month. Only problem is, if we're really trying, it'll be even more disappointing if it doesn't work.

I think I conceived in the car last time...maybe try that again

Supportive vibes out to everyone with AF/other rubbish stuff.

Oh no nymph!!!!! Wanna say "What happened?" but know that you know too little or can't say anything at all! AARRGGHHH!!! I hope that it can be sorted out.

He still has it for now, cant say anymore.will be definate by next week.

Still wants to TTC

Thanks fairy and others for being supportive today

There's nothing I can say to help really. Like I said I'm sure they'll give targets to reach. Bloody OFSTED!!!!! We'll just be here to give you supportive words when needed. It's an eye opener to see it from the side of the spouse - when they are in you are so caught up in it that I never thought what DH must be going through when I get home from their visit.

Good luck with the TTC (now thinking that OFSTED are almost like contraceptives - a friend of mine has fallen preg after each visit! Shame it hasn't worked for me, still TTC #1 after 2 years!!!!)

Hi all. Sorry to hear about your DH's problems nymph - fingers crossed it works out ok.

Smallblackflowers - interesting what you are saying about bf and short luteal phase - I am also breastfeeding (although only once a day most of the time), and I think I just spotted some EWCM, with only 7 or so days left in my cycle (thought I saw some last week, but not so sure now) - could my lp be that short? And will that automatically make it harder to get pg?

Lorelai I think I get more than one "batch" of EWCM some months too. What's that all about then? Anyone know?

Nymph here's a big bottle of wine. Fingers crossed it all gets sorted.

lorelai if your lp is less than 10 days there isn't enough time for the fertilised egg to implant before you start losing your uterine lining, so even if egg and sperm happily meet up they'll be on their way out before they have a chance to get settled!

If you are suspicious that this could be happening it is worth temp charting in order to pin down your exact ov day. The lp generally stays the same length every month, and if your cycle length varies it is usually the length of time before ovulation that is changing. Hope I am making sense.

Hi may i join? Im ttc number 4 cycle1, ucl 28, cd 10

Thanks smallblackflowers. I am avoiding temp charting at the moment as this is just our first cycle and I don't want to get too obsessive just yet. Can lp change over the years? I didn't have any problems conceiving DD, so can't have had this short a lp then; could it have changed since then? Or maybe it wasn't EWCM I had tonight and I am worrying over nothing!

My lp was 14 days before DS. Then when I first TTC it was 11 days but seems to have gone up to 13 days. Did BF for over a year so not sure if its just taken a while to get back to normal. But then am on cycle 10 (not on list as am trying to avoid it all).... Trying, kinda not managing.

Hi totallyfloaty We will all wriggle up a bit to let you in this busy bus!

Very interested in the BF/LP thing. Think I need to do some research as I had never heard of this before.

Sitting on my hands to stop me testing tomorrow. One part of me really wants to and the other thinks whats the point i'm highly unlikely to be pregnant anyway

nymph if it's any consolation we have just had ESTYN (welsh OFSTEAD) into DCs school and the report that followed was as didn't sound anything like the school that I know. Plus they wouldn't take anything into account that had been implemented in the last 6 months which was further for me. Hope things work out ok for you.

Well, seeing as I can't sleep for some reason, and it is now past midnight, I might as well update the stats for Thursday. Have added totallyfloaty too - welcome!

We seem to have lots of people coming up to testing time - fingers crossed for some more BFPs!

morning all, has anyone seen nancydrew recently? i'm starting to get slightly worried she may be in a depressed hole, or on a blissfully happy high (but then she wold have come back?)

Welcome totallyfloaty. We are getting squeezed up tight on this bus.

Morning All

Am not a teacher but work in Audit and Inspection at a University - working with teacher training students - we get a visit from Ofsted once every three years and are expecting ours either at the end of this academic year or the beginning of next. Really hoping I get pg before they arrive as it will be manic!

CD25 today - am starting to get quite nervous/excited about Sunday, as is dp - this will be his first baby if I get pregnant.

Symptom spotting - burst into tears at work yesterday (yep mortifying) due to childcare issues with my 2 dds. Very tired, oooh and sore boobs - all could be caused by pmt/stress of course!
