Hellobee Boards

@futuremama: It's so interesting to hear your post-BCP cycle stats, they are very similar to mine (going on 3rd cycle off BCP) and others that I've read. Really long one first, then short one, then long one....seems like they'll normalize the further out we get from the BCP. Good luck!

Just wanted to wish all you ladies good luck this cycle! I'd be right here with you but we are taking this cycle and next off to prepare for IVF. But I'll still be keeping my fingers crossed for BFPs for you!

@Adira: AF is due on June 1, but that could change based on when I O and if I'm able to lengthen my LP. But put me down for June 1

I don't think I O'd last cycle because my temps were everywhere, but this month I'm CD12 and it looks like the last few days have been low and stable, which is good!

Bad timing because DH has been traveling, and won't be back until CD17. Since my cycles are on the longer side: vary between 32-46 days, I'm hoping that will be ok!

@Adira - could you put me down for June 11th? thanks!!

baby dust to everyone!

@Emilie: Added! Hopefully your DH's travel doesn't get in the way of your timing!

@PBandBaseball: Well, I'm not entirely sure how the CBEFM works, but my understanding is that it gives an indication that you're going to ovulate soon but haven't yet, right? And if your egg sticks around for 12-24 hours, you really might be better off having sex tomorrow, right?

@mrsjyw: Did you have 9 high fertility days before your peak day? We got a high reading yesterday and then a peak day today. I thought we were supposed to get at least 2 or 3 high days but we only got one.

@Adira: This is my first cycle using the CBEFM. I think that the high days indicate that you're getting close and the peak day indicates that you're about to. I think we'll probably try to have sex today and tomorrow at least. After 14 cycles I would have sex every single day of the month if I thought it would work.

@PBandBaseball: Yea, got 9 high days... I have a 36 day cycle which probably added to the numerous high days.

@Adira: That's just my guess. I really have no idea what the difference between high & peak is but I will look at the manual tonight when I get home and update this thread so that other ladies know.

@mrsjyw: Gotcha. I was really surprised when I saw the peak symbol this morning because I was expecting another high day. Hopefully we'll get a BFP on our first cycle with the CBEFM too!

@JoJoGirl: I can't even imagine doing it every day. Your mom is a saint. Haha.

@Adira: CD7, trying to be good about temping this month and my temps seem higher than normal so far. Could be the B6 or the prenatals, both new this month, or who knows. I still have about 12 days til O, so nothing new to report here. Good luck

Hi ladies! Today is CD 17 & I got another peak reading on the CBEFM this morning. I told the hubs that we needed to have sex again tonight & he honestly didn't look thrilled. It is so exhausting to do it every single day!! I really hope that we'll get that BFP this cycle!! Our consult with the doctor to go over our test results and options is on Friday. Hopefully we won't need to go forward with any of that but I'm ready to get started if that's what we need to do!

@PBandBaseball: Oh my gosh, I know what you mean! Hubs and I only had sex three days in a row last cycle and we got sick of it! This cycle I'm going to try to have sex SIX days in a row! I know we'll never manage... *sob* I hope you and your husband have better luck!

@eastcoaster: I'm kind of jealous you're in the TWW! Even though the wait sucks, at least you don't have to stress about having sex every night or anything, haha. Hopefully you'll have a much longer LP this time around because 7 really isn't long enough! Hopefully it'll be at least 10 or something like that!

@eastcoaster: I hope your LP is longer this cycle! I have seen others talking about taking B6 to lengthen their LP, have you thought about doing that? I'm not sure exactly how it works but it might be worth a shot.

@Adira: Thanks! Today is day 3 but I think we might skip today and try for pre-work sex tomorrow. We'll see how today goes. I think one of the worst things about TTC is the scheduling of our sex life.

@eastcoaster: I probably wouldn't wait too long, but I'm impatient. Maybe see how your LP is this cycle and if it's still short, ask your doctor? I mean, your doctor may just tell you to wait a few more months, but at least you won't be wondering.

@PBandBaseball: I completely agree! Scheduling sex takes all the fun out of it, but I refuse to leave things to chance and just go with the flow, which would probably be more fun, but I know I'd be frustrated!

@eastcoaster: I agree! Although hopefully it'll already be longer this cycle!

@Rachel: Yes, please let us know! I think I've read on other threads that there is a concern about getting too much B6, and causing nerve damage? Or I might be thinking of another supplement...

Grrrr, my husband just told me that he is most likely going to have to go out of town for work next week again. He gets home tomorrow (CD 10) and will only be home through Sunday night (CD 13). I'm using OPKs so at least I will know if I've ovulated in that time frame, but GRRR this sucks. He'll be and hour and a half away...

@Trailmix: My first cycle off birth control, my LP was only 9 days, but that was the only cycle it was that short. The rest have been 13 days. So hopefully yours will lengthen as well!

@Dr. Pepper: Boooo! That's totally a bummer! Do you know when you usually ovulate?? Make sure you have sex the last day he's there. Sperm can last up to five days in fertile CM so you could get lucky if you ovulate close to CD 13!

Hi all, I posted on the other thread too, bfn at 10dpo. Trying not to take it too hard, it's only cycle 2!
