Good luck Maruschke!
M2OSB - I don't want to chart. Ttc is enough on it's own, I worry that if I start charting it will be consume me! Did AF show yet? FX she doesn't.
What if I never actually get FULL brown flow? I could use a panty liner all day!

I'm so confused! I'm 15 dpo with a lp of 13 days. Did another poss with FR and FMU and bfn still. Anyone with charting expertise please have a look

Thanks
It's a good lucking chart. Are you sure you O'd on the day it said you did? Perhaps you O'd a bit later and that explains the longer LP? Your temps haven't dropped as expected the day before AF.:
Best of luck hun

That's what's been keeping my hopes up no temp drop. Maybe I'm relying way too much on ff. I had no other indication of o tbh
I meant good looking, not good lucking. Sigh, caffeine required.
I've given up on watching temps. I pretty much just use FF now to collect my drugs info and BD info. Its a personal thing... temping each day just makes me obsess (not saying you do, it's just what it does for me) only to discover that the temps aren't super meaningful (other than ovulation, which doesn't matter since I trigger). I am happy to make TTC something we do now around O day rather than all month long as was the case when I was temping.:
Hope this turns into a BFP tomorrow!

M2OSB, did you have a day21 BT? What was your progesterone level?:
No I didnt get a bt coz im doing it unmonitored. Can I go to a regular gp to ask for a day 21 bt!
I know what you mean about ff maruske, it is very obsessive. DD was conceived without all this but I consider her a miracle baby :)
Maruschke Good luck sweeti I hope you get a BFP!!
I have to admit that I have never temped but I think if I did I would probably obsess over it.. Now I just obsess over over my hormone levels from my blood tests.
Tomorrow I am going in for an ultrasound, and another blood test. The nurses and FS are really happy with my levels so I guess I just have to wait and see what has happened tomorrow!
I hope you are all having a wonderful sunday!!
:bluedust: :pink-babydust:
I don't see why you couldn't go to your GP. Or just call your FS and ask if you can have BT instead of completely unmonitored. It's unusual that they are not even giving you any more BT. I thought unmonitored meant BT, but no scans etc.:
I have no clue my FS just says to me to give it another try until my prescription runs out and she has me on two repeats or 6 cycles!
Time for a new FS I reckon!!!!!!
I'm not having bt's either. I had one to check the level was ok and then I was left to my own devices.
Same. I had one bt the first cycle to are how I responded to clomid and she was happy with it being 85 so told me to just go for it
tasha: thats a tough question, i would have thought when you see red blood you would consider cycle day 1 but if you aren't always getting that then thats tricky ! has af always been that light for you ? what does your specialist say about that ?
Maruschke: thats good that they let you trigger, fingers crossed you get one sticky bub from it !
mum2onesweetbun: your chart is looking good !
williever: are you still bding or have you gone on strike now ?
mollie: good luck with your scan and blood test tomorrow, i hope things are looking good for you
afm: im really struggling to get moving on the bding, still having negative opt's but this afternoon i had (tmi coming up) heaps of ewcm so im really pleased about that, gosh i hope it means i will ovulate in the next few days, anyway that has given me the motivation to get busy tonight ! im also having really bad lower back pain, i hope it isn't ovulation just yet because we aren't covered !
im on FF but i don't temp, i have found it to be all over the place with even a 15 min difference in the time i take it
minniemouse - I am STILL bd'ing. DH is having the time of his life :ROFL:
Maruschke - Very exciting.Hoping one of them sticks x
M2OSB - FX for your bfp :bluedust::pink-babydust: Chart looks good!
Mollie - I hope the tests go well tomorrow. Are there more tests after that?
Tasha - I would go from when you start spotting. That is an absolute guess, but if it's 14 days after O it seems a reliable measure of time. How long would AF last if you counted those days. Again I am guessing, but I think I would use the most reliable timings. Have you mentioned your light AFs to your doc?
afm - Lots of ewcm today.....I hope that's O. I am having a glass of wine to relax. Finding this cycle stressful with ivf approaching fast :o Chart is completly confusing (I am even starting to question my thermometer!), but we have been maintaining the bd'ing to at least every other day........mostly everyday:whip:
M2OSB - I would just call your FS. I'm sure she wouldn't say no if you asked for something, just to put your mind at ease.
minniemouse - No AF hasn't always been that light, only since I started clomid. FS says it's nothing to worry about (although I always worry about it!) I used to have very irregular cycles, and when AF did come it was always normal 4-5 days, very little pain. Sounds like O is just around the corner for you, good luck!
williever - I usually start from the second or third day of spotting, depending on how much is there. Af would last about 5-6 days counting the spotting.
AFM - AF due Australia Day, I tested yesterday (11dpo) BFN, but I have been having heaps of cramping for a few days now. I don't usually get any cramping before or during AF. I'm also extra moody and seem to be getting mild indigestion every time I have a meal. Why do our bodies have to play cruel tricks on us! Gosh I hate the uncertainty of TTC, it drives me crazy!:wall:
I've been talking with DH about next cycle (being proactive!). I think we will have a rest month before we start ivf. I think it would be best for my body o give it a rest. I also need to lose a lot of the weight I have gained since being on clomid! I want to see my neck again!!!!
Torn between the desire to try everything until the fat lady sings, and the need to be absolutely ready for ivf. I guess I need to think more long-term and hope that losing weight helps and ivf bub stick?!
I really dislike how ttc has consumed my life!
Thanks minniemouse!
willi I dont know about more tests I guess I will have to wait and see what they tell me tomorrow afternoon when I ring to get my results... I think a month off would be good, and in that month off you dont know what can happen!
Not much to repot here just a few little pains in my lower abdomen.. hmm :think:
Will - I totally understand that struggle between wanting a break and wanting to throw everything at it. It gets so hard to go through cycle after cycle. I'd love to find a way to do both... relax while trying everything and yet not letting it dominate my life. When you figure it out let me know LOL. Anyways, all the best with it, I hope either way you decide, that you are holding a BFP in your hands very soon. As for your chart, I really don't know why your temps are falling. Have you done an OPK lately? :hug:
I tended to cope better the cycles I felt like I had done everything I possibly could... being proactive personally made me stress less than being on a break.

Hi LAdies
Bec - I'm so so so sorry about Pip. I can't believe it. I'm heart broken for you. Your in my thoughts and prayers right now. I'm in shock. The universe has some mighty explaining to do.
Mollie - Lots of little follies :crossfingers:
Maruschke - I ran out of opks :shhh: Really wish I'd had more now. I too get stressed when I'm 'relaxing'.....................still gotta think about it a bit. Just hoping my temp shoots up tomorrow. Then I can relax a bit now:pray:
I don't know why but heaps of women on clomid O a bit later, around CD18. You have EWCM, so boink boink boink :D:D:D. This cycle we had fun ;) hehehe.:
FX for you, can't be much longer!
Thanks Porsche. I think we all know about the world being terribly unfair sometimes. I'm trying hard to stay positive.
Hope you're well,
Bec

Williever -
Hope you don't mind me asking, but how much weight has the clomid caused you to gain????
n2l
I haven't been weighing myself. I can tell from my belly and triple chin. I also have patches of cellulite around my thighs............not good, but I did say I would put up with it.
Unfortunately I have weighed myself...I have put on about 3kg in the six months since I started clomid. My fs says this is normal and apparently fluid retention is common too.
as if being infertile isnt bad enough - we have to be fat too! lol
chubbily yours,
n2l
I'd say I've put on more then that. So well done for keeping it down xxx
Stupid cellulite!
M2One - how did you go? FX AF didn't arrive but a pair of pink lines did :).
i tested again with FR this morning, still nothing and still no AF!
Oh no! How frustrating.:
The only thought I have is that perhaps your O date is later.
:hug:
yeh maybe. Looking at FF, it says 93.1% of HPT should be accurate lol so i must be in the 6.9% IF i am pregnant!
Hi everyone, I just wanted to know what I can buy for my DH to improve sperm quality. He has had a semen analysis and it's all good, but as we are having no luck yet i would like to try more things, maybe Zinc? I know menevit is great, but i just can't afford (or justify) spending that kind of money for one months worth!
Also I am thinking EPO for me as I'm a bit limited in the CM department!
Any info would be great :)
Hay guys, stalking again.
Tasha- i spoke to a Naturopath and a pharmacist about what my DP could take and they both just said to take Centrum or a normal multi-vitamin. DP started taking them when i was mid-cycle in cycle no 2 and cycle 3 i fel pg....dunno if that helped or not, but it didn't hurt either!
GL and i hope there is more BFP's on the way!
Well....finally I had a temp increase today (.2 degress C). Relieved. So relieved. CD 18 so who knows when AF is actually due?! This will be a very interesting tww for sure!
mum2onesweetbun - Good Luck hoping to hear a BFP from you it sounds promising so far.
Tasha - I have heard menevit as well. But your right expensive i was lucky my GP gave me a few bottles she had but finished them and just fed him oysters lol. EPO is good i have used it had heaps more CM.
Williever - Your temp increase sounds good. Hopefully this is your month FX'D
AFM - nothing happening FS did not ring about blood test so i still dont know if it was AF or not so still have not started clomid. So i'm waiting waiting and getting fustrated.
Willi - your chart looks great and you should get your crosshairs tomorrow! FX for a BFP!
I am so bored... this part of the cycle drags on and on and on..
Maruschke - I know! I even called DH over to have a look. I normally O so waiting and getting anxious over it was really wierd. I really felt like yet another hurdle had been put in the way.........so relieved. A nice jump today woohoo!
This is our last month of really trying. Maybe that pressure will get my body into gear??? Plus all the supplements I've been taking! You never know!
hey girls AF came today. I think FF got it wrong and I think you were right Maruschke! I Od late this month.
Well i think this will be the last month of trying clomid for me so it better be third time lucky.
Will and Maruschke pick up a hobby! ehheheh otherwise you will be POAS every 2 hrs =P
Best of luck girls hope you will get the long awaited BFP soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maruschke - I agree i hate the 2ww i imagine all kinds of sympoms i have lol. Someone would make a fortune inventing a POAS test you could do 3 days after O to see if you were PG.
Williever - What supplements are you taking?
Mum2onesweetbun - Sorry AF arrived. Praying 3rd time lucky for you.
Hope everyone has a great Australia Day
Rai - I'm taking: Blackmores concieve well gold (with folic acid 500mg) - General conception boost, CoQ10 - increase blood flow all round body including uterus ( I think I have a problem with implantation!), and folate (500mg)-total of 1000mg of it.
Also two teaspoons of honey - blood flow apparently?!
I started all this just before this cycle. Giving it everything, so hoping little eggie travelled down the right tube to a nice, soft and welcoming uterus.....FX!
