jojo 11 dpo is a tad too early i think. i know some people show up at 8dpo but they are really rare. Good luck for today

ejjie how you doing??

gosh i am up so early today, got the doctors in an hour to get it confirmed, also hoping to get the results of my scan and my blood test results for my thyroid.

Temp went up today, woke up sweaty again. Not really got any symptoms this time, sore bbs now and then and constant womb niggles and thats it. I cant fasten my coat accross my chest and I am super bloated (like a super hero, I am .... Super Bloated!!!!!)

ejjie you oved now your in the 2 ww

Hiya

I'm a bit worried. Every month when I do OPKs I never get a full strength line (as dark or darker than the control) the darkest I get is about 1/2 - 2/3 strength. This month it was 1/2 strength

I had no lines all month (the other times I thought I might have OV'd) and then in order of strength, 0 being no line and 10 being same as the control I got these

Monday 7pm - 0
Tuesday 10am - 2
Tuesday 7pm - 2
Wednesday 8am - 5
Wednesday noon - 2
Wednesday 5pm - 1
Thursday 8am - 0

Now I know I'm not supposed to do tests in the morning as the hormones are lower but if you look at the peak time I think it is first thing Wednesday, I had my twinges all day yesterday and they've gone now.

What does everybody think, maybe I'm not ovulating properly or strongly enough hence always having faint lines (last cycle I got to a 7 ish) or do you think the Wednesday 8am one would have been a lot stronger if it wasn't first thing?

Also, my doc said about having day 21 tests again, although now she's referred me to the Gynae in November I'm thinking about ringing her up and asking if I can go in again next week. Last day 21 tests showed I hadn't ovulated even though I thought I had (and got AF the next morning 8dpo)

At least we timed the baby dancing right eh!? x

 

[jo jo]

Jojo there's only about a 60% (ish?) chance that you would pick up a +ve before you're due - until your AF is due you are still definitely in with a chance

Everything crossed for you hon x

Thanks Ejjie. im gonna test again Saturday. Good Luck to you, looks like you really timed the BD'ing right

 

[Anna23]

i'd phone up and ask for the app next week but i think you have oved considdering you had a line and i'd say it was thursday cas you ov after get a + 24/38 hours after or something like that

 

[rusks]

ellie i think you have done everything you can for this month, can't be any harm getting the blood tests done can it?

i hope you get your BFP this month xx what day are you on? are your cycles a bit shorter do you think?

jo jo 11dpo is so early just wait a few days and see what happens hun but definitely not over for you xx

Hi Rusks

We've put the work in this month! My cycles seem to have stabilised at 33 days (4 cycles now) which sounds great but I don't OV until day 26 then have a 7 day luteal phase which isn't long enough whatever way you look at it

Looking at my charts and my old diary my cervical fluid has been fertile several times in a cycle, I found this on Fertility Friend:

Several patches of eggwhite fluid with no clear thermal shift probably means that you are having an anovulatory cycle. You can have fertile-like cervical fluid and still not ovulate. If you have several cycles that show this pattern, you should ask your doctor to look at why you might not be ovulating. If you have several patches of eggwhite cervical fluid and a temperature rise, then your ovulation was probably delayed due to some external reason. One of the factors that can affect cervical fluid (mentioned above) may apply. In any case, you should still have intercourse every other day when you see eggwhite cervical fluid to make sure not to miss an opportunity.

Anovulatory cycle is what the docs used to describe my last day 21 blood tests

I hope we caught the egg this month but I don't think it's very likely boohoo

ejjie dont put faith in the sticks, i never got a very strong opk but i did ovulate.
If i were you i'd think about taking vitimin b6 for the first 14 days then progesterone cream from the middle of your cycle.

Cheers Hols it's nice to know that other people don't get proper +ves too! I take B6 in my pronatal tablets but haven't made a decision on progesterone yet If I don't catch this cycle I will be on day 22 when I go to the gynae appointment and based on last cycles due to OV on day 26 so maybe I should wait and speak to them about it? I'm really not sure what to do

 

[HollyHobby]

All i know is a short lp is likely down to low progesterone, so by having pure b6 to lengthen lp and then cream to up progeserone has got to do something. Can't hurt and the cream gives you a little bit of a spring in your step I've found! And its all natural not synthetic.
I would ask about doing that anyway.

 

[ejjie]

Ooh I like the idea of a spring in my step! Thanks Hols

 

[jo jo]

Ive had a big dip this morning. Its not looking good is it

 

[jo jo]

Ive just done a test and there is a 2nd line, its very faint (it was not FMU) but i can definately see it. I'm confused, i had a really big dip in temps this morning, just above my coverline

 

[HollyHobby]

Jojo sound slike youre.... pregnant to me!
what strength test did you use?

 

[mrs_metal]

Keeping my fingers crossed Jo Jo, are you going to do another test tomorrow with FMU?

 

[Cori]

Good luck, jojo! What are the white circles for on your chart?

 

[Anna23]
