Hellobee Boards

@mrs. 64: @pui: whoot, triplets! But yes, if my LP lasts that long I'll be thrilled. Last two have been 8 and 7 days long, so I'm doing everything I can to help lengthen it at this point. B-complex, OTC progesterone cream and Planting Seeds herbal supplements from my acupuncturist. I'm new to this whole "my body is actually ovulating" thing, so I'm not sure if the fact that I O'd a few days earlier this cycle will give me a longer LP, or will just result in a short cycle length overall.

Keeping my fingers and toes and legs crossed that we can all hold off AF until at least 10DPO, which would be next Thursday. I think 10DPO is about the minimum needed for successful implantation? Heck, maybe I'll start wearing my hair in braids, to cross even more things for us!

@babybean404: I believe FF recommends to BD on O date and O+1. So at least get busy tonight, tomorrow and the next day, in case you actually O tomorrow!

@pui: @Sprite: Ugh same problem. I'm typically at a 9, occasionally 10 day LP. I've been on progesterone before and tolerated it very poorly so my Dr wants to do a progesterone test (going tomorrow) before deciding how to proceed. Of course I'm hoping that this is the miracle month and we won't have to go there! Sprite- are the b complex and herbal supplements working? I wanted to get my doctor's 2 cents before trying anything, but I'm curious.

@anandam: sounds great!! I hope you get a BFP when you test!

I got my crosshairs today--yay! So I am officially 3 dpo per FF.

I just noticed the tiniest bit of spotting after I peed and sm wondering if anyone else has had this? I never spot between periods and feel fine otherwise but it is just weird. Anyone care to commiserate or make me feel better?

Well FF moved my O date back to CD17 due to a temp dip lol, so now I'm back at 6DPO.

@pui: Well your BDing still looks great with this O date AND a dip at 6dpo is good FX so hard for you!

Well so much for my happy theory above...turns out that my TSH levels are high again, so I'm guessing that I'm probably out for this month! But we'll see for sure tomorrow!

@MamaCate: Could be possible! It probably is a bit early, but not impossible (I think). Fingers crossed for you

@mrs. 64: Hope your progesterone test goes well! And to answer your question, it's hard to say if the B-complex and herbs are working...I mean, I'm not pregnant yet, so who knows? However, 2 and 3 cycles ago my overall cycle length was 25 days, but last cycle I took B-Complex and it was 29 days. So it seemed like it worked, although it was also my first Clomid cycle, and I O'd on day 21, still giving me too short of an LP, so who really knows, maybe it was the Clomid that lengthened my cycle and not the B-Complex. I feel like B-Complex can't hurt to keep trying in case it is working though, since I'm not taking a very high dose, and anything your body doesn't process just gets pee'd out. This is my first cycle on the herbs, so I can't say if they're working or not. I don't even recognize most of the ingredients in them, but I trust my acupuncturist, since she has a medical degree, and is at the top clinic in our area. Guess only time will tell if anything we try when TTC actually "works"

@anandam: FX so hard for you! I can't believe you haven't tested yet!

@MamaCate: could also be post BD'ing spotting?

@pui: I agree with @Littlebit: your FF is crazy! Yay for an earlier O date though! Will you test earlier than next Saturday now?

@cookie_dough: sorry to hear about your TSH levels But you're still not out until you're out!

@sprite: thanks...ya, now I'm going crazy on googling"does pregnancy increase your TSH"...hoping that my TSH is higher BECAUSE I am pregnant. Grasping on to any little hope hahaha

@pui: I was actually told by my OB yesterday (actually a DO) that TSH can actually artificially lower during pregnancy. Mine is high right now, just over 4, and he said he could retest but it may not really show whats going on. He did say that the T4 (i think) was a better indicator during pregnancy. This is for someone without a diagnosed thyroid problem though. I"m just watching because it runs int he family.

@babybean404: 3 DPO would be too early for implantation, unfortunately.

@Pui: @T.H.O.U: I guess I will just have to wait till tomorrow to find out for sure It's really weird that my levels have gone up, because I had just upped my dose of thyroid meds about a month ago!

I don't think I'm going to make it until tomorrow for the POAS fest. I'm 11DPO but still having the brown CM. It hasn't really increased much in quantity/frequency or changed color but I don't think it's a good sign either way. I'm basically biding my time until AF shows up at this point.

@littlek: I just wish AF would come already since it seems like that's the eventual end result. This in between stuff is frustrating.

Getting some really AF-like cramps here guys :\ I really hope my LP isn't going to be only 6-7 days...

@LindsayInNY: I know what you mean... I've considered taking an HB break too, but I think I'd go crazy without anywhere to vent.

I'm nervous to POAS tomorrow. First cycle actively TTC after our chemical in July. Nervous, scared, dreading...Just wanted to vent. And please excuse me if I puss out tomorrow. Not sure which is worse, stark BFN or AF... Oh and I've had a really bad cold this week so DH thinks that is going to prevent anything from sticking this month. Haven't felt anything this month (other than cold symptoms) so I'm not going into this week/weekend hopeful. Sorry for the Debbie Downer.

Happy Friday!

But I'm super excited for the other POAS-a-thons this weekend! Can't wait for some BFPs!!

@NorCalWayfarer: I'm with you, I've waited for tomorrow fornsoo long and now that it is tomorrow I'm not ready. ...lol
