Fingers crossed for both of you ladies.
Silly that seems a bit early to be testing, I could be wrong though, my clinic tells me 18 days past ovulation is when I need to test, feels like ages, I was never pregnant so I don't know... I'm only 3dpo now, I'm going to test if I get to CD28 though coz my Cycle is normally 27 days so I'll definitely be late at that stage!

My last 2 rounds of OI with TSI didn't work so I'm keeping calm this time and not obsessing, hoping it does work but at this stage if I think about it at all I get depressed so keeping busy and not dwelling on it. V. difficult task

It was the third TSI cycle that was the lucky one for me. I think mentally I'd already disengaged and was reserching the next stage. I was an average of 27 days too.

silly

Oh best of luck Hollywood. I think I will try to hold out on testing for a little while longer..if I can..

That's good to hear Neyite, I'm kinda of the same, this month I've done some of the research on the whole IVF process, I'm not talking with my DP everyday about being pregnant, I'm going about my days as normal and not obsessing about it this month, in my head I keep thinking it didn't work the last 2 months so whats going to be different this month, I think it's the best way to be, quite busy at work too which is a plus. Hoping it does work but I'm not going to get my hopes up or obsess or not do things just because I might be pregnant, I done that before and I wasn't.

I've cut way down on caffeine, getting exercise in & trying to do the deed every second day (sorry tmi I know), so we'll see what happens!

I think you are better off waiting Silly... Good Luck

Fertility Friend has given me a posssible ovulation day of CD26 according to my temperature shift which would make me 7dpo but none of my other fertile signs match up which is unusual for me as I'm normally never in any doubt.
My boobs have become more swollen & sore ( mostly at night when my bra is off) & I am bloated. I've studied & studied my chart & I can only see & tiny chance that I could have conceived. I've had a significant temp increase the last few days too so I think I'm definately having a progestrone surge but whether that is due to pregnancy or AF's impending arrival is anyone's guess. Will test next Thursday if nothing has changed, hopefully by next week I'll either have AF or a bfp so I can put this rubbish cycle behind me & move on:rolleyes:

silly

Ms2011 - i am having similar symptoms regarding the boobs - and i remember them feeling the exact same way the last time i was pregnant. Af due on wednesday so will be testing around the same time as you - fingers crossed for us!

Ms2011

Fingers crossed for you Silly, not holding out too much hope for myself, even Fertility Friend is saying chances are low but sure we'll wait & see, I suppose stranger things have happened:D

Fantastic news! Congratulations!

Ms2011

Ah brill news Silly, congrats to you x

I tested yesterday at 13dpo & it was negative so I would more or less count myself out as I got a positive with my son at 13pdo. Just have to wait for AF to show up now so I can start a new cycle!

Busy time next year so

I'm cd16 and got as close to a positive as i ever get on the opks..also knew by the amount of mucus so have the husband on the job This would have been the exact time I conceived two years ago so here's hoping it's a lucky month!

bobskii

Congratulations that great news!

silly

Best of luck Yellow Hen - Sorry to hear that Ms2011 - AF might not come though!

dublinlady

Huge congrats

I love good news

Good luck to everyone else, and ms I understand ur headspace with ruling urself out but I hope ur wrong

Day 13 here - nothing doing!

yellow hen

Yesterday was probably my ovulation day but after a crappy long day in work I just hadnt the energy to do anything about it. Will berate myself at the end of the month for not doing it Any change Ms?

Ms2011

Still no AF, boobs still sore in the evening, temps still high though dropped a bit this morning. Today is offically when AF is due & tomorrow is my testing day according to Fertility Friend.
Have a splitting headache since yesterday evening (in the sun too long:o) so I wasn't in the humour of testing this morning, I'll test again in the morning but if that's negative I'll just wait for AF to turn up as I should definately get a positive tomorrow if I were pregnant.
If I were more regular I might hold out more hope but my body's been known to go haywire every now & then for no apparent reason, this appears to be one of those occasions:rolleyes::)

Ms2011

No need to test this morning AF made her appearance, onwards & upwards for the next cycle, hopefully a less confusing one

Oh poo. Well at least it wasn't a ridiculously long cycle

dublinlady

Aw well as u say - onwards and upwards - at lease it didn't drag too long!
Good luck this time.

Hollywood130

Congrats Silly, great news. I didn't get near test day, was supposed to be the 17th but AF arrived on Saturday, onto last round of OI before IVF

Roesy

Probably a tmi question but if I have egg white cm going on that means that ovulation is pretty close right? Cheapie ovulation test is just barely showing a second line.

I can get fertile mucus a couple of days running up to ovulation so I'd keep testing. Also if the mucus is egg white sperm will live in it for up to 5 days so while it's there I'd get busy & have plenty of swimmers there to meet the egg whe it arrives

silly

Sorry Hollywood and Ms2011 - best of luck for next month Xx

I am convinced I have cysts again. For the past few months I get awful lower backache at night. I'm fine once I'm up but getting out of bed is painful. I don't mind getting the cysts back but I'm afraid that they will interfere with us trying to conceive. Will have to get a referral for an ultrasound and maybe MRI to be sure.

My friend had to put off IVF last month as they discovered a cyst, she'd done all the prep leading up to implanting the embryo but at the last minute the cycle had to be scrapped because of the cyst, v.frustrating.
Hopefully if you do have any cysts they shrink by themselves so you can continue ttc.

Hollywood130

Yellow Hen I've been going through OI with TSI, I just had a scan today as during the last cycle they thought one of the follicles was a cyst and unfortunately it turns out they were right, it's a 19mm one, I'm due to start my 4th cycle of TSI today but I'm waiting on the phone call from the clinic to tell me if I can go ahead or not. I don't know which way it will go, the nurse didn't seem too concerned about it but if this cycle doesn't work for me it's onto IVF.

Just looking at your post Ms2011 maybe IVF will need to be postponed until something is done about the cyst? Doesn't look like this cyst is shrinking, it seems to be getting bigger, well it has since last month, have 2 small endometriomas aswell but they didn't seem too bothered about them. It's so so frustrating though, just waiting on the call now to see what happens next

Ms2011

I'm not sure Hollywood, my only knowledge of the IVF process is from what she tells me. Her cyst shrank by itself so they're planning to do the implantation this month all going well.
I think they just try & give the embryo the best chance possible so if everything isn't 100 percent the will hold off, v.frustrating though when there is so much work in even getting to the implantation stage.

Hollywood130

Yeah it is pretty overwhelming, I spoke to the clinic about it today because that's what we'll be doing next month if the OI doesn't work this time. Got the go ahead this month anyway, they don't see a problem with the cyst so far so round 4 here we go!
