OPKs timing

[Sjf0709]

Yes, there is no aftercare for MC in the UK really. After sepsis and a d&e I didn't see a doctor at all. I woke up after the op and only saw nurses. I was discharged with meds and not a peep about when to try again or what to do next. Seems to be the way unfortunately xx

Aw it sounds like you had a bad time of it. Hope you are ok now SmithyBaby!

And here are my selection of many tests of unknown dates varying from 5th August to date from CD8 onwards...

 

[Sjf0709]

One thing is for sure, if we don’t get pregnant this month then next month I’m going to write the dates and times on my OPKs and I’m also going to make sure I wait the full 10 mins before checking haha... oops! Can tell I’m a newbie

I definitely don’t think you’ve o’d going from your bbts.

My cycle took a few months to settle down after the mc so don’t stress, just keep testing and you’ll catch it when it happens.

I'm not entirely convinced that you've ovulated yet looking at those OPK's. they are normally very dark if they are positive (although this isn't the same for everyone, some people never get dark positives). Id keep on using them and see what happens x

 

[IVW]

I agree with the above two comments, it doesnt look like you have ovulated yet.

What cycle day are you now? i assume you are in your fertile window?

Thanks Vespa, Princess and IVW. This morning my BBT rose (about time!) but I did get up in the night for a wee and was a bit restless again so not sure if this is linked. I’m hoping it’s not... but my OPK was a definite negative this morning. I will retest after 2pm though and see... I’ve disregarded my BBT from Saturday when it spiked because I really do think this was because of the wine i had.

Currently on CD18

And here is my OPK from this morning...

That spike looks promising, but it is odd that you're not getting positive opks, I'm wondering if you have a faulty batch? hopefully, the temp will stay up there now. once you have 3 consecutive temp rises the app will be able to tell you when you ovulated and how many dpo you are.

Getting up in the night shouldn't make a difference to your temp as long as prior to taking the temp you had 3 hours undisturbed sleep? So if you woke at 2am, as long as you fell back to sleep and didn't wake again til 5am then your temp should be ok xxx

 

[Sjf0709]

Baby3 I was up at 3.15am and took my temp around 6.25am so hopefully this spike rise is a good sign, fx. It’s weird because I’m not much of a morning person but at the moment I can’t wait for morning to come, my alarm to go off so I can temp haha. When I woke at 3.15 I was going to temp then because I must have subconsciously realised I’d woken up and needed to temp but it was waaay to early haha - obsessed!

 

[Sjf0709]

Ps I only have a handful of OPKs left so I’ve ordered some more today in case my MC has messed my cycle up and I have a super long one haha so hopefully if it is a dodgy batch I’ve got some better ones on the way. If not, they’ll come in handy for next month as I feel like I’m not going to conceive this month...

 

[baby.3]

oh i think your temp should be ok, you slept for a solid few hours. Haha, i know what you mean about being eager to wake in the morning but my god i'm tired lol. I have my alarm set for 5am because either my son or puppy will wake me anywhere between 5.30 and 6am lol

I've got 2 opks left, which i keep using! i've done a test every other day since the negative, i'm not really sure why lol habit i think. I'd rather use those though, otherwise i'd be peeing on the pregnancy test strips instead and analysing those like a nutter at 2dpo! lol

Hopefully you'll see increase in those temps again tomorrow. Try not to lose hope, you might get a nice little surprise at the end of the month. Stranger things have happened xxx

 

[Vespa]

Looks like it could be something, especially as you’ve had ewcm the last couple of days. Fingers crossed your temperature stays up now but you’ve bd’d so if this is it then at least you’re covered.

 

[Sjf0709]

Thanks ladies. Might see if the OH is in the mood for more BD tonight haha just to make sure... it’s funny because we only BD twive last month and I got pregnant whereas this month we have been much more active and I bet I don’t get pregnant haha
