Opps...I was posting as you were...I copied and pasted. Hi there lovemy3. Just keep checking - you will o very soon. What is the latest cycle day you have ovulated? Things are good here...I am just level. No anxiety over when I am going to get pregnant. It will happen when it is supposed too. My Bible study has helped a lot. How are you doing?

 

lovemy3 - November 10

Hmmm. hanging in there. Today would be the latest day I have ever o'd and I think my body skipped it altogther this month. No cm, very dry, no surge. But we have been bding just in case. So, who knows. Feeling grouchy about it too which isn't good. Just plain blah! I am really wondering about the whole thing, I don't know. So consuming and life is passing by as I obsess ya know, not good. So anyhow, aren't ya glad you asked-lol. What is your Bible study on? We have one more week of ours and then its done. Ours is really good. God is faithful, its hard to hear my own advice to others but I know His truth. ttyl

Mine is Falling In Love With Jesus by Kathy Triccolli and Dee Brestin. It has been awesome. i have two weeks left on it. And then Dh and I are going to do one together. I know what you mean about life passing you by while obsessing over the baby stuff. I realized I had just been focused on that and was letting a lot of other stuff pass me by. I am trying to pull out of that mind set now. Life is good and I want to enjoy the journey because I already knwo the destination!!! Keep your chin up Lovemy3!!

Hi Chicas, I love Kathy Triccolli, she sang a song called light your candle or something like that, and that was the song I danced with my dad at my wedding. She is a great singer. Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say hello. Sorry there are no obvious ovulatory signs for you today lovemy3, this is so interesting to evaluate how our ovulation patterns change everymonth for unknown reasons to us. So frustrating. But keep temping or using the OPKs, maybe it will surge this weekend? Angelkitty, how you holding up girl? Where are you at in your cycle on this glorious Friday? (I can't wait for the weekend...)

 

angelkitty - November 10

Linds, I agree Kathy Triccolli is one of my favorites as well!! I am on cd13. I am ready for the weekend too!! It is beautiful here in NC it is about 75 and sunny. What kind of plans does everyone have for the weekend? DH and I are going to grill tonight and then I will spend most of tomorrow cleaning and getting ready for guests coming in next weekend.

 

lovemy3 - November 10

Hey girls. Sounds like fun weekends ahead. My dh is going to a Promisekeepers conference tonight and tomorrow. Do you have those in the US? Anyhow, so its me and my gang. I'm going to buiy the more expensive opks this afternoon and see what they say. I'll post later, Hugs. hey Linds, so if Clomid thins you out, like you told that other poster about short af, is that good or bad... my af is just like she describes hers on Clomid. So am I better off or not. Seems like I'm on clomid but I'm not as far as af symptoms go. Thanks

 

linds99 - November 10

Your not taking clomid now, (and I think you are referring to your recent period right?) So I would assume that a lighter period (maybe higher estrogen levels) and, progesterone levels that are lower -which help build up the uterine lining in the luteal phase, may be off kilter. I have heard a lot of women over 35-ish heading in to their 40s talking on the forum, or rather complaining, of lighter periods. And I remember one woman said that her doctor told her a lighter than normal period may be a sign of an anovulatory cycle. Does this help?

 

linds99 - November 10

Progesterone is very important because it works with estrogen to build up the lining, make it thicker in the luteal phase, when there is an imbalance, (and your period occurs sooner or is lighter there is not enough progesterone there to stave off your period from coming, estrogen takes over and causes the uterus to shed.)

 

angelkitty - November 10

Lovemy3 - we do have promisekeepers here in the US. My DBIL has been to a conference. DH wants to go. I have heard they are awesome!

 

lovemy3 - November 10

Linds....that could be contributing to maybe the fact I'm not ovulationg. remember I used the ferility monitor and never showed a peak at all. just high. I only used it one month. Anyhow, who knows. At least I'm kinda getting it figured out and am noticing certain things. I'm contemplating moving up my appointment from jan. Thanks so much. Angelkitty, My dh has been to a few and they are really good apparently. take care.

 

Tink - November 10

lovemy3, so sorry- are you on CD20 now? today is CD19 for me. I hope you still O or at least get AF soon so you can move on to the next cycle. was this a natural cycle? I o'd on CD12, but that was due to injections and trigger! interesting info on the progesterone/estrogen and light periods. i've had light periods, lasting only 2-3 days and not heavy flow. i don't think i ever even ovulated before i started clomid back in march. then i think it kick started my system and now i think i can ovulate on my own, or i know at least i did in october (no drugs) when i took off the cycle for the lap. i noticed a much heavier period this last cycle, but it could be due to my lap too. i got AF 2 days after my lap, so maybe it was residual stuff from that too. who knows. lovemy3, might be worth bumping up your appt to try and figure out the issue. best of luck! i am going crazy in this 2WW. did prog check this am and haven't gotten a call from the RE yet, no news is good news (meaing my levels are good and no prog required). just pulling my hair out until i can test next friday! luckily i am going out of town for work next week, so that will keep my occupied some at least! have a great weekend ladies!

 

linds99 - November 10

Hope your progesterone test is right on! Good luck ladies, angelkitty have fun cleaning this weekend (smirk) and maybe schedule a mid-afternoon baby dance! Lovemy3, seriously, I ovulated on CD 22 during the early months of this year before treatments, but I have read that ovulation that late in the stage is poor quality, as the endometrial lining starts to get old. But at the same time, I saw some women's charts that showed ovulation on some wacked out CD 31 and she got pregnant! So anything is possible, keep trying this weekend with dh, ovulation could creep out of no-where. Have a nice weekend ladies, I am out of here till Tuesday, got a doctor's appointment monday, so I will check in with y'all then...

 

lovemy3 - November 11

Tink, Actually today is cd18, and still negative opk. So far all my cycles have been natural. I haven't seen a dr yet. With my other 3 I'm sure I ovulated this late as well, better luck I suppose.( and younger age 34, now 37) I went back and checked my records. last month was cd14 and cd15. Then the 3 months before were cd19 and cd20 surge dates. I don't have cm either though and thats odd. Anyhow, maybe just an non ovulation month if there is such a thing. Glad you are all well. Good luck at your appt on Monday Linds!

 

lovemy3 - November 11

Cramps and ewcm has started, but still neg opk..stay tuned for the a.m-lol!

 

lovemy3 - November 11

Crappy report bthis am. CD19- still NO pos OK. VERY negative, but ewcm. CD19 is so late, why could this be, something is definately wrong with me. Do you know anything about these cheap online tests? I'm going to go and get my regular ones from Walmart thos a.m and compare. Feeling down and out today, if I don't o its just a completely lost cycle.
