I see three lines....but with the test all taken apart I don't know which one I'm supposed to be looking at ??\

The line is under my fingers and the control line is to the right of that. The far right line is something under the test... no clue.

Sorry Maplekitty, AF should be here any day now too.

Camdynlyn~I totally saw the lines on both of your tests! :D
Maplekitty~Sorry AF found you. :(

Sorry you're feeling down lately, Twylla. But you have every right to have a down day now and then. You're handling the irregular cycles much better than I could! :)

I hope being so tired is a sign, Chris~n~Jen!

Sorry about AF, maplekitty. She's on her way for me too. Should be a couple more days. :rolleyes:

Camdynlyn! That looks like a line to me too! Take a test tomorrow am and hopefully you'll see an even darker line. :D

I hope charting again works for you Mayham and you get that BFP!

First of all, Congrats to Camdynlyn, because I certainly see a line, and a line is a line, is a line!!!!! You're pregnant! Yay!

Maplekitty, sorry about AF. I know how frustrating it is to be past CD30 or so and test like crazy! Hang in there!

jnshanna Thanks! Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't be whiney yet, kwim? But other times, I just can't help it!

Today is CD# for me. Yup, that's right. Christmas Day AF decides to crash the big party. I was crushed. Not just since it meant I'm out for December, but also because that ruined DH and my plans for Christmas Day nookie. Sigh. But I guess New Year's nookie will be just as good. I'm actually surprisingly happy. I guess I feel like BCP is finally "out of my system" since I for the frist time since pre-pill, I had actual PMS. My nips really were sore, etc, etc. So now, I guess I feel like I "work" again, lol. I still see the dr tomorrow morning, so maybe he and I can talk about if/what steps to take next. DH probabl;y won't be there. But I'm honestly feeling like I can give it another month or so without going too crazy. Hopefully the doctor says something about me getting tests at the lab.... I've spent so much $$$$ the past little while.... lol!

Camdynlyn I saw both lines. Congrats you are PG!!! :)

Maplekitty, sorry about AF

Can I join?

Me: Hillary (30, but not for much longer) - 1/27/75
DH: Chris (34 on 1/2)
Married: 11/27/04
Last BCP: 1/05
TTC since: 12/24/05

I've been charting TTA for a year. DH finally convinced me to put away the thermometer and let whatever happens happen. AF arrived on 12/24, so here I am. It's really kind of scary just to let go and let nature take its course, but I am very excited too!! We are kind of keeping it to ourselves, so it will be really nice to have you all to share it with.

Welcome Hillary and here's to hoping this is your month!

Congratulations Camdynlyn!!! H&H 9 months to you! :D

I am at CD19, even though I don't think I've ovulated yet, DH and I have been BD'ing A LOT :) and are hoping for positive results this time!

Congrats Camdynlyn!

I'm out for December. AF decided to show up with a bang yesterday :( .

Maybe next month! Good luck to all waiting to test.

A big congrats to Summer! Glad you didn't have to stick around here too long!:D

Sorry to those that have had AF show up, and {b} I'm not sure if it gets easier or not. We have been trying for about 6 months and it does seem a little easier for me simply because I was hoping to have a summer baby but now that isn't a possibility so I am a little more relaxed about stuff. I am still pretty bummed when AF shows though.

I am currently on CD 19 and think that I just Oed or am about to. I have increased CM and have been paying way too clos attention to O pains. I ave had several bouts of pain that could be O pain so I am not sure. DH and I have been pretty busy lately and will keep it up for a while (even though we are staying with my sister right for the week) just to make sure we are covered.

Congrats Camdynlyn!

{b} I take it hard when AF shows, it was no big deal our first month, since we weren't even "supposed" to be trying. The second month I was much more upset, because I'd really wanted big news for Christmas. Now, I'm not sure how I'll take it...

~~~~
CD30 for me, about 11 DPO. I've been crampy on and off for the past few days, but my usual (last two months being usual) pre-AF spotting has not shown up, although I think I o'ed later than last month.

Still, I feel like AF could show up at any moment, but I'm not testing until this weekend if it still hasn't shown! Keep you fingers crossed!

Welcome MrsKinnison! I hope your stay is a short and sweet as Candynlyn's was!

quick update: I saw the doctor *again* today, adn he's glad AF came on her own this time. He says we'll keep SWH until our second anniversary in July. Then, if we're still not pg, he'll do a complete infertility workup. I'm surprisingly calm about it. I mean, I hope we don't get to that point, but if we do, I know we'll be taken care of. So here's hoping 2006 will bring on a BFP!

I hope you get a fresh start soon, Kimmer!

Welcome MrsKinnison!

I hope all that BDing pays off for you this month, zhannshka. ;)

Fingers crossed for you suiej!

I'm glad you're feeling calm about your dr visit, Twylla. :)

Sorry about AF, Bubeleh. :(

I'm right there with you. AF showed up today but it was totally expected since we didn't BD at the right time at all. I got a cold again today but I hope it will go away soon before the BDing needs to start because DH won't even hug me when I'm sick. :rolleyes: He's too afraid of getting sick himself. I've got about a week to get over it though so I'm sure it will be okay. :) This was a crazy cycle so I'm just happy to get started fresh again!

Twylla

12-28-2005, 09:06 PM

Well, at least you can focus on getting well again while you wait to O shanna, that should at least help you get through the first week or so. Sorry that AF showed up, but maybe the fresh start was all you needed this time!

CD5 for me, AF has left the building...commence baby making! :D

Ok, so this month I will:
-walk every day
-eat lots of veggies
-drink lots of water - and grapefruit juice ;)
-I'm going to try the robitusym thing for my CM problem of last cycle.

Let's hope this is the cycle :)

I haven't checked in a while ... since AF has been MIA since October. I had my dr's appt and they took blood and it came back negative. So my gyn prescribed 'progesterone' to bring AF to town :rolleyes: . Has anyone taken this before??

To refresh everyone's memory - I stopped BCP in August and had normal 26-27 day cycles for September & October ... then nothing. After 4 BFN, I decided to see the doctor... so hopefully I will be back on track after I finish this medication :confused: ...

Twylla

Sorry about AF tinkerbelljenny!

maplekitty, good job on keeping cheerful for the next cycle. Grapefruit juice and robitussin are for better quality CM right? I might have to jump on board with you....

njdiva I've taken progesterone before, and I promise you, it's nothing to worry about. I went off BCP November 2004 and I had basically all super long cycles since then. seriously, I'm on cycle 6 since going off. I took the provera for 5 days, and about 2 days later AF showed up. That 'cycle' was 11 days long, then AF came again (not sure if it was "real" AF, but bleeding again). That was last cycle, which was 45 days for me, a huge improvement after a 168 or so day cycle. Whew! My flow was a bit heavier after provera, and I did feel some cramps, but no more than usual. I'm not sure what CD you're no, but I imagine somewhere near the 40 or so day mark, right? From what I've read/heard/experienced, that isn't so long that it'll make AF significantly heavier or anything like that. Try not to worry, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask away!

CD5 for me, BDing will commence tomorrow I think, then every other day from there, and hopefully we'll not only have a little eggie going for a stroll, but we'll also catch it too! lol.

twas what I've read...help produced better quality EWCM...and since I was sans EWCM at all last cycle, I think I need some help this time around.

Wooo, we're on the same cycle day, *~*~* baby dust~*~*~ for us both, maybe we'll be EDD twins ;)

njdiva

12-29-2005, 08:53 PM

Thanks Twyla! - that was a big help... My other question... is it possible for me to get pg following the blood test & prior to taking the provera? in other words - is it safe to assume that I'm not ovulating during this long cycle?? :confused:

And yes my CD is approaching 75:eek:

Twylla

12-30-2005, 03:54 PM

Wooo, we're on the same cycle day, *~*~* baby dust~*~*~ for us both, maybe we'll be EDD twins ;)

Ooooh, how fun would that be?!?!?! Let's cross all our crossables! lol. *~*~*~ baby dust ~*~*~*~*~* for you too! 2006 will be good to us, darnnit!

njdiva glad I could help. Yes, I suppose it's *possible* to become pg post-test and pre-provera. You certainly *could* ovulate, even after 75 days. Me, I'd assume no ovulating. It doesn't mean that's what's going on, but that's what I assumed when it was me. The way I understand progesterone (provera) is that our cycles work on two chemicals, estrogen and progesterone. The progesterone levels go up after ovulating, and once they drop back down, AF is arriving. Usually this just happens of course, but with provera, you're using medication to simulate the progesterone rise and fall. Does that help you out at all? I'm not a doctor, just using my experience to try to help, so definately listen to your doctor or whoever over me, but HTH! CD75! Yuck... I know that pain. FWIW, I know of a few women who've gotten a BFP the first cycle induced by provera.....

So, does it/ did it feel strange to anyone else to stop TTA? I actually feel like time is going by slower now that I am waiting to see what might happen this month. It sounds crazy, but I am kind of nervous that it will happen right away, and I'm just as nervous that it wont. Please tell me I am not alone :)
