Hellobee Boards

@pui: hang in there, lady. I hope that your hormones regulate quickly!

@Springtime: Ummm that is definitely a line! Congrats!!

@pui: Awww I hope the synthroid regulates quickly for you!! ((Hugs))

So I'm 8 dpo according to ff, possibly 9 or possibly 2, & got a bfn this morning. Boo that! I'm trying hard not to read into anything but I had tons of symptoms already by this time last time! Ugh!

@pui: hang in there! Synthroid takes something like 3-4 weeks to regulate your thyroid, assuming it's the right dosage (which often needs to be adjusted at first). What dosage are you on? I started at 25mcg, retested my TSH after a month, then they upped it to 50mcg, and after another month my TSH was normal.

@Springtime: congrats!

@Springtime: @MrsKoala: Thanks ladies! I know it's really early for a bfp.. I got my last at 14 dpo, but I think my biggest thing is my lack of symptoms, which I just keep telling myself every pregnancy is different!!!

Ok. OPK today definitely looked darker. Would you ladies say O is coming soon?

@Springtime: there's a line congrats mama I don't get my BFP til 11dpo on a cheapie and then went to get a FRER and got a faint positive and got a bfn with digital and didn't get a BFP on a digi til 14 dpo which was my first day of my missed period

@pui: aw I know it frustrating but just hold on I have a little cousin going this this exact same thing and haven't had af since jan but was for some reason scared to go to the doc and just found out that was the cause a few weeks ago so keep your head up and I'm rooting for you and you at in my prays

@luckypenny: The line closer to the pee side is the test line, so I would say that is a negative test, no LH surge yet. EVERY one of my FR OPKs pre-AF looked like this until I got a real positive where both lines are the same color. Could you try with a digital? We did Sperm Meets the Egg, EOD after AF until you get a positive OPK, and then 3 days straight.

@runsyellowlites: I tested at 10dpo and got a bfn and like @Bao: said didn't even feel symptoms this month and even told DH the morning of 11dpo I didn't think it happened this cycle and when he left for work i went back to sleep and had a dream about getting a positive so thats what made me test again and to my surprise it was a BFP but the digi said no so I kept retested with cheapies after the first day of a missed af I took another digi and it was positive and that was at 14dpo so good luck and don't give up yet

@Bao: I ovulated a week late in March due to my first international trip, and it did change my next Ovulation date. It didn't change my LP tho, so the Cycle length was the same. Does that make sense?

@Bao: my O date fluctuates monthly, so I almost never know when I'm going to O at the beginning of my cycle. Generally, it is in a range of 3-5 days, but I've also had months where it was weeks off. My LP is almost always 13-15 days, but the only way I know about O is checking CM and BBT. I find that one wonky cycle doesn't really impact the next one, though. I had a really long one over Christmas but the next was more normal.

I have no idea if that made sense or was helpful...sorry

@Bao: well, I am a freak, so don't take this as gospel-I get. CM every. freakin. day. Buut, normal people (ie, not me) typically get a clearish, slippery discharge in the few days leading up to O. I do, too, but for me, it can sometimes be hard to find it amongst all the other CM (sorry if that was way TMI). Still, it is there, and that is how I know I'm about to O-the quality of the CM goes way up.

I use Creighton Method to track, but I know lots of people here have recommended Taking Charge of Your Fertility-I think it talks about CM there (someone correct me if I'm wrong!)

@Springtime: Whoo hoo, I definitely see a line on your second test. Congrats mama!

@Bao: whoa, holy typos, Batman. Sorry about that...

@Bao: Im sorry, not explaining it well. No. Nothing changed, so everything was just moved back a week. I O'd a week late, so everything else got moved back a week. My LP never really changes. 13 days on the dot normally. My FP fluctuates a bit by a few days or so.

@Bao: I get EWCM for about 2-3 days before O as well! And I have some kind of CM every day like @LovelyPlum: does too. This last cycle, I O'd on May 21st. I recorded Fertile CM on 18, 19, and 20. I got my first +OPK on the 20th, in the morning, and another positive on the 21st in the morning as well.

@Bao: Last month I felt O pains and BD the day after (really about 36 hours after) and it wasn't a successful month for us. I believe that once I felt those pains I was out of my window.

The two months I had short cycles, FF did change my O date (basically right after AF ended, I was scheduled to ovulate) in order to accommodate a standard 14 day LP.

you ladies totally answered one of my questions regarding ewcm! i also didn't know WHEN you were supposed to BD in relation to seeing the ewcm. before it happens, during, after? all i had read was that ewcm helps facilitate the sperm to the egg - so i guess that's why most people suggest DTD a couple of days before ovulation (ie: time of ewcm), since sperm can live up to 48 hours in the body. i know everyone is different though and some may even have ewcm when they ovulate. it's just so hard to know what's going on in there!

@doxielove: Lame, maybe try a new doctor? Also, NSAIDs (like Ibuprofen) aren't good to take while TTC... I'd suggest trying an ND if you're for it, they seem more willing to find the root cause of a problem instead of just throwing meds at the issue. Hope you get some answers soon!
