    Hi Nikabella.

    If its any help I have read and been told by specialists that your LP should stay pretty much consistent from cycle to cycle. The days between CD1 and OV day can change though. That's why cycle lengths can change from cycle to cycle through either oving late or early.


    HTH

    Thanks Shelly, that was what I had read also. Last month (after my m/c) my LP was 14 days instead of 12 which I didn't expect at all. This month, however, although I ov'd early my LP has clearly gone back to 12 days as AF arrived this evening :( But this means my cycle was 27 days :confused: It's been 31 days ever since I came off the pill 10 months ago (again apart from after m/c which was longer) I don't know what's going on :mad: although I'll happily stick with a 27 day cycle as it means more opportunities for BFP's :rolleyes:

    We go on holiday abroad for 2 weeks next sunday & I didn't want to take any ov tests with me but now I think I'm going to have to to try & figure out what my cycle is doing :o

    I'm going to stop feeling sorry for myself now! Sorry :o

    Leopardlady - hope your feeling better & I really hope you haven't got shingles. I hear it's terrible so I have my fingers crossed it's something else.

    kindofagirl - hope your wisdom tooth is feeling better & you managed to make it through work.

    Oh dear everyone seems to be feeling poorly :(

    lol kindofagilr his tooth aches bound to be much worse than yours, its like man toothache same as man flu my OHs suffering with it too has been for 2 weeks and every time i ask him if he wants a dentist appointment its magically better then hurts later on when the dentist is shut. Im gona lure him down tomorrow as he has the day off he can help me get some shopping ... from the shop that just so happens to be across the road from the dentist lol :A

    Im doing my own head in here, AF arrived this morning and every time it does I think Im having a breakdown. I spend most of the day in bed in tears feeling like a total failure but then when I made the last appointment with the doctors I talked to her about my exzema cream instead of babies! She even brought the subject up asking about me going on the pill because it might be hormones bringin my skin out so bad (i look like a 14 year old again with acne except its itchy and horrible:() and I quickly changed the subject. I think im just scared that shes going to do all these tests and it will be bad news and then Id rather just live in denial. Last time I talked to OH about it he was upset that I didnt talk to the doctor but I talked him into waiting until after the wedding but now I think thats too far away lol Im such a wimp when it comes to doctors and things I think i need a kick up the bum and forced to go! Hopefully someone will come along and talk me into it and give me a good reason!

    Emmzy, the way I see it is knowledge is power. If you mention it to the doctor, you get in the system. If, in the meantime you get a sticky bean then great ;), if not then its started the ball rolling for testing. It might be something really simple, and if its not then the sooner you mention it, the sooner up the line you may be for treatment if that's what you want. The last thing you want is to live in denial for 5 years, realise you need to seek treatment at that stage and then you're in a higher age bracket and your chances of success drop. If its what you and OH want go for it, the doctor will understand your concerns :)
    Never argue with an idiot, he just brings you down to his level and beats you with experience.

    I can't sleep, don't know if it's to do with getting the result of my pregnancy test from the Doctor's in the morning.

    I know it's going to be -ve & am not worrying about it but my brain just won't switch off.

    Emmzy have you ever thought that your skin problems are part of your TTC problem? It could be PCOS which can be dealt with & if you let your Doctor know the whole picture you could soon be able to get your BFP.

    Sometimes just talking to someone & getting the ball running can be enough to give you the relief to relax & let things happen, when I got pregnant with DS I had just got my appointment at the hospital when I conceived.

    Morning girls,

    We haven't done very well this week with the BDing every other day to be honest we had some family stuff come up so we kind of gave up.

    I'm on CD23 so now just waiting for AF to show as I don't think I have any symptoms.

    We will be buying OV sticks next month so we know what my cycle is really doing.

    Natalie6999 - keeping my fingers crossed for you.

    Good Luck, when do you get the results?

    Does anyone know the latest you can fly if you are pregnant?

    I am thinking about suprising OH with a trip to New York for his birthday in March, I know if I fell pregnant straight away it would be out of the question, but I am wondering how late I can fly so I know when I can book it (if we can afford it nearer the time) if that makes sense lol

    If you fall pregnant this month you will have the baby in March.

    Any pregnant woman flying after 24 weeks of pregnancy is required to have a letter from a doctor confirming that it is safe for her to travel.

    Its weird that they are a spammer as they have so many posts.

    Ok so 24 weeks, thats 6 months right? so if I am not pregnant by say October then I can go?

    Ok I will wait to then and see if we can afford it (all depends if work put overtime on, then I am going to work it all)

    I hope I can, it would be a mint suprise for him!

    If you get pregnant before October as long as your doctor signs a letter saying you are fit to fly

    I'd love to be surprised with a trip to New York for my birthday!!!
