Anyone have issues with shortening cycles? Mine have been like clockwork for years - 28 days with ovulation on CD14. They've been all over the place lately and this month I had a 26 day cycle with ovulation on CD12.
Not sure if that even matters but it just seems odd to me that my cycles are changing...
-
@Kaohinani: @Jessiemuller88: I call pointy nipples THO (titty hard ons)
I am unfortunately in the midst of too early for pregnancy symptoms but the progesterone is killing my digestive system
@Jessiemuller88: I have tested immediately after buying tests
hopefully yours is the start of something! Keep us posted!
-
@skinnycow: mine only drastically changed after birth and birth control (went from 30-31 day cycles to 26 days and now at 28 thanks to clomid)
I would think as long as your luteal phase isn't shortening and you're still ovulating (CD12 is still a decent length for follicle development) I wouldn't worry too much; but if it gets any shorter I'd probably talk to your doctor.
-
@skinnycow: My cycle has shortened after each c-section.... I went from 28 days to a 25/26 day cycle (2008 c-section) then a 23/25 day cycle (2014 c-section). But I don't think that applies.
@Sams Mom:
@jessiemuller88: F'x on the BFP!
-
@Jessiemuller88: Can we see it??? (can't get enough of POAS
)
-
Another drop ... I think I'm heading to AF.
Unexplained Infertility is so d*mn unfair!!!!Has anyone had a 2-day BBT drop at 12 & 13 dpo and still ended up pregnant? (I've only seen it on charts when the woman already tested BFP but continued to temp.
Looking for hope and grasping at straws ...#FearingTheBFN
-
@yellowbeach: yes, but I guess I really am Queen of the Indent Lines. BFN this morning. Iโm assuming Iโm out! No more testing for me.
-
@Jessiemuller88: I can't tell if that is an indent or an unGodly faint BFP. If I can't have a BFP today, I'm really hoping for one for you soon.
-
@Kaohinani: ugh Iโm SO sorry!!
that must be so frustrating. I always say youโre not out until AF shows up. Still hoping hard you get that BFP. With my first pregnancy I had an inplantation dip, then it peaked, followed by LOWER downwards temps after the peak (14 and 15 dpo) but still above the cover line. I stopped temping after 15dpo. So maybe!?
-
@Jessiemuller88: I donโt think thatโs an indent line. It looks like a BFaintPositive to me...!
-
@Jessiemuller88: I definitely see something there. Fingers crossed it's not an indent.
-
@SupernovaJ: Thank you. I needed to read that. I'm so afraid to test and see a BFN at this point that I may just see if AF shows and hope it doesn't. 32 cycles of BFN and I've had 2 panic attacks when I've tried to go for a FRER. I can't take #33. I suppose my anxiety sounds ludicrous to most people but watching my temps drop and seeing the BFNs month after month are taking a toll on this typically chipper chick!
-
@Jessiemuller88: I see it too!
-
@SupernovaJ: @Kaohinani: @:Skinnycow: thanks for looking ladies. I was super hopeful yesterday because it showed up within 3 minutes and looked slightly pink in person, but with todayโs bfn, Iโm sure it was only an indent!
I donโt know why I keep early testing!
-
@Jessiemuller88: It's so hard to resist. I've been getting pretty bad indents on FRERs lately too... they've gone downhill I guess.
-
@Jessiemuller88: I definitely see a little shade of something. I kind of hate FRERs after getting so many bfns this past cycle. ๐คYou get your bpf, thereโs still time!
Iโm exactly two weeks until back to work and Iโm freaking out!
-
@Kaohinani: sorry about your temps. Iโm definitely waiting it out next cycle I cannot handle a big blank BFN.
-
@magnolia: Thank you, Magnolia. At this point, I'm not going to test unless my BBT increases considerably tomorrow, otherwise, waiting it out for AF.
-
@Kaohinani: o no! This isn't how this cycle is supposed to go! I'm hoping your temps go up tomorrow!
--------------------------------------------------
So my temps are nowhere near as far above the coverline as they have been in the past. I usually have 2 days of giant spikes and then hang out up there until AF comes. This time I only had one giant jump and am now hanging out there. *shrugs*So I finally got the details for my husband's semen analysis nailed down (we're in separate networks so it makes it an extra PITA), but they're booked solid almost a month out from now. uggghhhhh, so now I am checking with my doctor to see what the cash price is for one through his office if the timeline is any better.
-
@Sams Mom: Thank you, Sam's Mom. I know, everything was so encouraging! My husband had even noticed my huge(r) "chesticles" and kept teasing this cycle must have taken ... That and the fact that the movie "Happy Feet" made me cry a couple days ago (don't EVEN ask.
#wrongIguessAnyway, OH NO! They can't conduct the test any earlier?!? Wow! That stinks!!! Hopefully, your OBGYN can pull a few strings with insurance. *crossing fingers*
-
@Kaohinani: So I have to pick up the paperwork and the cup on lunch and they can get him in tomorrow with results same day or wednesday at the absolute latest.

@Sams Mom:
-
@Kaohinani: I am STILL nauseous after wrestle mania happened to my ovary
It's just like when I had GERD during my last pregnancy, feel like I'm going to puke all day, but never do. So me being the crazy person I am took a internet cheapie HPT this morning thinking I had to be pregnant even though I had the period from hell and confirmed ovulation... (I know, I'm all sorts of crazy) Obviously I'm not pregnant... *crazy lady babbling over*
-
@Sams Mom: Maybe you are having a progesterone sensitivity to the levels in your system? This happens to me EVERY Clomid cycle. I get "gaggy" and on the verge of nausea. I also get the veiny breasts and a plethora of other "pregnancy -like" symptoms. It is frustrating.
-
Thank you everyone, I am very excited.
@starlitsky: Congratulations.
@skinnycow: I ovulated earlier each cycle after going off of birth control. I went from CD 17 to CD 15 to CD 14 to CD 13, with a constant luteal phase.
@Kaohinani: I would pay more attention to the trends than the day-to-day variation, and your trend is very straight. I always drop below my cover line by 13 dpo on bfn cycles.
@Jessiemuller88: Good luck. I think it is too early to tell.
-
@mdf106: I'm a S-L-O-W, painful BBT decline girl ... 3-4 sequential temp drops and then AF comes RIGHT before BBT hits coverline. The day after AF begins, I'm below my previous cover. I have figured that I'm on day 2 of a drop so if I drop again tomorrow, AF is inevitable as by my normal trend.
-
@skinnycow: @magnolia: I use to think FRER were the best, but I think Iโm done with them at this point. If a line wonโt show up on a Wondfo, Iโm not trusting it!
-
@magnolia: enjoy your last two weeks! Iโm on day 4 with kids and I forgot how exhausting teaching was!
-
@Jessiemuller88: Sticking to the Wondfo is probably a safe bet for both your psyche and wallet
-
@Jessiemuller88: oh no, I just bought 2 boxes of FRER! lol i thought the new ones were supposed to be better than the curved ones.
sorry to hear about your bfn but there's still time, right?@mdf106: how are you feeling?? and wait what are you congratulating me on?
@Kaohinani: eeek I hope your bbt doesn't drop tomorrow!
@Sams Mom: i'm sorry to hear you're still nauseous. I hope it gets better or that at least you get a bfp out of it!
as for me, i'm still waiting to ovulate but I'm seeing some signs so I'm hoping it happens within the next couple of days. I ran out of opk's so I had to buy more on amazon!
-
@starlitsky: Thank you, Starlitsky! I'm hoping it doesn't drop any further either.
-
@SupernovaJ: Congratulations.
@starlitsky: I replied to the wrong person. FRER has always worked fine for me, but I am not one to test very early. I am feeling fine, but I am still pretty early.
-
@mdf106: ah no worries! I'm glad you're feeling fine!
@SupernovaJ: any updates?
-
@skinnycow: YES! My cycle got shorter abt 3 years ago from 28 day to 27 days. Then after I turned 38, it went to 26 days where it remains now. (am 40 soon). I asked my fertility doc abt it and he said it is totally normal and could shrink even more...before it begins to lengthen (menopause..dare I say it
-
@Kaohinani: keep the faith, dear. Speak with your unborn child...they are closer than we think. I often speak with my daughter and she gives me tons of comfort. Just saw the new Mama Mia and the part with the mother and daughter theme made me totally ball my eyes out...I am really so emo these days. hmmm... #symptomspotting #hopeful
-
@Wonderwoman: Thank you, hun. That is a very sweet sentiment. I have been extremely emotional as well (which is very unlike me normally). Thank you again.
-
Is anyone crazy horny? I haven't felt like this since my early 20s. I was walking around the mall today and fantasizing about every hot guy. whaaaaa? And then went driving on a very bumpy road to one of my favorite spots to watch the sunset and I was kind of liking the bumps.
-
@Wonderwoman: this cycle has been some of the best sex we've had in a long while, and it's been wanted every time without schedule.
-
@Sams Mom: beautiful! happy for you.
-
@Wonderwoman: YES!! DH seems to be feeling the same way too!

that must be so frustrating. I always say youโre not out until AF shows up. Still hoping hard you get that BFP.

sorry to hear about your bfn but there's still time, right?
