****January Testing Thread- 13 BFP's so far****

[Trivita]

I find them very useful as i cant temp as i dont get good readings as i do shift work so it goes all over the place

Okay fab.
I had no clue there was this much involved in trying to get pregnant. Ironically as I have a little one haha!
Can't stop thinking about it now. Trying so hard to stop paha! X

Welcome to la la land lol you can drive yourself crazy at times, just try relax ( im one to talk did a hpt at 5dpo)

I've used CB Digital OPKs this month and peak fertility has coincided with right pelvic pain but now I'm worrying that I have too much pelvic pain! It lasts for 2/3 days and is a mild twinge rather than pain but I still worry. TTC'ing really does make you go a little crazy!

Haha! Oh dear, well it is very tempting to test all the time. If I had an endless supply of tests I sure would lol.
When I got pregnant with my last lo I was so relaxed. We just stopped using contraception just thinking it wouldn't happen so soon. Got caught the first month or so!
It's crazy how your bodies work.

You sound like me lol. I'm sure some cramping is normal!
I even googled last night if a soar mouth was a sign of ovulating! Paha. But I think it's all the chewing gum as I'm trying not to eat all the chocolate left over from Christmas!

Nearly time for the January testing to begin!
Can I ask a quick question?
Do you ladies use ovulation tests? I'm temping at the moment and reading body signs. Wondered if I should by some for next cycle. That's if I'm not pregnant! Got to think positive hehe!
If you do use them do you find them helpful? X

I struggle with OPK's. Temping shows obvious temperature shift and I get pain but I don't always get positive OPK's. I think this is partly because I do them in the evening instead of the recommended afternoon and partly because I drink a lot of water which dilutes your urine.

If you have been temping for a while, have a fairly regular cycle and see a temp shift then that is all you really need to know that you have ovulated. BD every other day in that rough ovulation window and you'll "in theory" catch the eggy.

Good luck xx

Just started to temp this cycle so if we don't get lucky then I've got data to use if you know what I mean! We have bd three days in a row and I know its not loads but I'm soar! I font think my body is used to his man stuff lol! Sorry of tmi! Haha x

 

[fairyprincess]

Can I be the 31st please

Added hun x

Random question and poss TMI. I stopped my pill at the end of my period (mini pill) to me kind of made sense lol. So I've had a period last week. And now spotting a bit and period pains again!? Any opinions if it's another period, withdrawal bleed? I don't know much about ovulation pains etc but wondering if it would be too soon to ovulate!? Sorry lots of silly questions! Thanks guys xxx

 

[broody2013]

Hi can you move me to the 13th please fairyprincess? I think I OVd a bit earlier this month xx

 

[Trivita]

I have been naughty and tested early 9dpo and i think i can see something eeeeekkkk or im crazy (very likely)

Went to the doctor yesterday and here is what happened. He reconfirmed that I do have PCOS, which I already knew but now he knows. He did an ultrasound to find this out and he also found a corpus luteum on one of my ovaries. He said this is really hopeful. He also said that the bleeding I experienced on CD14 is most likely mid-cycle bleeding or ovulation bleeding. So he is having me come in tomorrow morning for a blood test to check my progesterone levels to see if I ovulated. If I did ovulate then I will continue like I am for around 4-6 more months. If I didn't ovulate then he is starting me on Clomid to get me to start ovulating. I won't know the results of the blood test until Monday. So, I will keep everyone posted. I am currently on CD21, 6DPO. I am looking forward to the results and it feels good to be under the care of a great doctor who specializes in fertility.

Here's to a month of and here is lots and lots of

Thanks for all the support and the friendship! xxxx

[fairyprincess]

All updated.

Gypsy, don't get down about the PCOS- it's a pain in the arse but you can still get your BFP. I'm proof lol x

 

[hoping12]

Can I have the 16th please? I was really hoping this would be a good time to try as on holiday from work but as our house floors not so confident!! X

 

[fairyprincess]

Added you, FX x

 

[emma_85]

Can you add me too please. Will be testing on 4th.

 

[Gypsy18]

Thanks fairyprincess! I have had my two kids before having it and know that it is possible. I can't remember fairyprincess, did you end up using anything to help with fertility with this pregnancy?

 

[paige23]

Omg trivita! Have you uploaded a pic anywhere? I Haven't checked the forum thoroughly yet. I hope it's our first bfp!
And gypsy sounds like your doctor is really good. I hope they will get your on the right track with your pcos. I have a few friends that have fallen pregnant with this.
Let's hope your ovulating just fine 😊
Baby dust to all! X

 

[katie22]

I'm the 5th please xxx

I was waiting to be referred and genuinely didn't think it was going to happen naturally. I took soy 150mg on CD3-7- 1st cycle didn't seem to do anything 2nd cycle BFP. I also took EPO 120mg until ov and I'm convince that's what got me my BFP x

 

[J9nine]

What are Soy and EPO fairyprincess? xx
