Do you guys take B6 to hopefully lengthn the LP .. I have to wonder now is that my problem, a short LP ... after realising I ovd around day 19 - yes dd I did get some lovin after cd 14, silly me though, I thought I should start some lovin at cd 10, every second day, so by the time I figured I o'd late, dh and i were worn out dtd - I am not sure now if I got excited to early and missed the boat..
Honestly what can you do ... I certainly wont be starting at cd 10 again to ttc, I will see what the temps say tommorow. though I am starting to wonder if temping after O - is like poas ... if you dont get a reading you like at the crack of dawn, it puts you on a bit of a downer.. dont you think they are the same thing after O
I did try B6 and found that before taking the B6 I would get full blown AF around 9DPO and after taking B6 I started spotting at 9DPO and by 11DPO I'd get full blown AF. I took B6 through about 4 cycles and noticed no further difference and then decided to stop to see what happened. Now I have a steady pattern of Oing around CD21 and the spotting continues to start at 9DPO with AF arriving by 11DPO so I'm really not sure if it made a difference. I tend to count AF from 11DPO when you can really call it a true AF but I'm not sure how the spotting two days prior affects things.
I agree with the temping after O tho and not getting a reading you like. I gave up on temping and using OPKs because I just found they affected the way I felt too much. I was lucky though that my cycles developed into a very regular pattern after stopping the BCP so after 8mths of temping and using OPKs I had the confidence to know exactly when I was Oing (also thanks to the EWCM). I hope you did catch the egg hun. Will be waiting for your update in 2 weeks!!!
When my cycles were regular, I had a 14 day LP so that wasn't the problem for me. I have never temp'd and only used OPKs for one month but found it very stressful. Perhaps it was because it felt like I was taking a pg test or something and my hands would shake uncontrollably that I barely got wee on the stick!
Jaxi, take the day off. You need to be fit and healthy for the upcoming weeks.
wouldloveabubba, ah the joys of TTC. DH and I would also start at day 10 and go through until day 22 or 23. It's exhausting and stressful and just not enjoyable at all when it's so controlled. I want spontaniety back!!!!! Some days DH would say "Pleeeeeease don't make me have s*x with you"
This month with my IVF cycle I told him I don't want to see his p*enis all month - not even a glimpse when he's changing or showering or anything!!!
I think your short LP could be the issue hun - not enough time for the embryo to implant I would imagine. Speak to your FS about it.
Well you're officially in the game so lets hope you caught that egg! Praying very hard for you my love.
Thanks Jaxi : You wont have to wait two weeks for me, I am expecting af between the 1st and 5th, I have had a lot more cm this cycle than the last few months, so I expect it is the handfulls of health food tablets helping things along, which is good to know.
Try and rest and re coup tommorow at home, you have a lot of changes that are going to be happening to your body in the next few weeks, and you want to be in tip top shape.
DD : You took the words right out of my mouth, that is exactly what I said to DH, as we all know I would loveeeeeeeeee to be pregnant, if I am not, I am having a month off in ivf month, we need to get the fun factor back as well..
Today's the big day DD!!!! Sending all my positivity your way.
Staying home today as you've all suggested. Normally I'd be riddled with guilt and feel pressured to go to work with just a cold but this month I am putting myself and my health first. Too much is invested in this.
Couldn't repeat your sentiments more ladies. I truly believe IVF will save our sex life. I never thought our sex life would become so mechanical and forced!!! Euch!
wouldloveabubba, I hope AF doesn't show between the 1st and the 5th. I hope she gives you a good 9 months!
Well one little cutie is in and it was an AA grade so absolutely perfect. One is in the freezer which is an AB grade so just short of perfection. The other two will stay in the dish for one more day then the scientist will make a decision tomorrow as to whether they are strong enough to withstand the freezing/thawing process.
Now the dreaded 2WW begins and I really think this is the hardest part! Oh please little cutie latch on to your mummy pleeeeeeease FS said I should expect implantation within 24-48 hours so I'm certain I will be trying to feel anything that resembles a latch-on! It's all up to the Gods now, no more medical intervention and there is nothing I can do other than pray
I had acupuncture straight afterwards and am going for another session on Wednesday. Did you know the pressure points for your uterus are in your legs and particularly your ears!
I'm having tomorrow off as well so I may just hang from the ceiling all day to keep the litle cutie in there as I was really worried I was going to cough him/her out as still recovering from bronchitis
wouldloveabubba, thanks I may pop into the 2WW thread if I feel I'm going mental I still praying really hard you get your natural BFP this month
Jaxi, hope your b/t shows hormones are down so you can start injection soon. I couldn't wait to get home to jab myself, it gave me such a sense of pro-activeness IYKWIM? Can't wait to see how it all goes for you. Am cheering you on all the way!
Oh Jaxi hun, I have just found your thread, not sure if you remember me from the ttc buddies but I'm still stalking you. I'm sorry to hear that you are having to go through assisted conception but I am glad that you have found out what the problem is, I so hope and pray this is your cycle and that your baby dreams will come true
DD YAAAAAAAAAAY you have your little embryo!!!!!!!!! I so can't wait to be at that point in my cycle. I'm also planning to take time off for my retrieval and implantation so I can be as relaxed as possible. I had started accupuncture last year but have since stopped due to the cost. Now I'm thinking I really should start again. I really really hope this is it for you hun. I could barely wait for your progress report! The next two weeks will be like torture. Stay strong and keep busy.
Jas, lovely to hear from you hun. Of course I remember you!!! How are you doing?
Ok, question time. Today is 9dpo for me when the spotting would normally start. So far I have nothing. My bbs also tell me when AF is approaching as my right one swells up the size of a watermelon and gets pretty sore leaving Ms lefty feeling rather dwarfed and ordinary! This cycle both bbs are looking fairly consistent. No change and the spotting hasn't started. Does Synarel tend to delay the onset of AF?
Hi ladies, I am closing this thread now, as we have a general LTTTC/AC chat thread HERE for you to share your cycles etc with others.
Best of luck this month!
I still praying really hard you get your natural BFP this month
