Should have said day 20 not 22 as my cycle is 26 days!

Fergie11 · 20/02/2014 22:28

I think they might as both tests were different but as my periods are very regular I couldn't understand how I wouldn't be. The nurse said that although it can be that I'm not ovulating she just thought they tested too early. I only have a 26 day cycle so she tested me on day 20 rather then day 19 as per earlier tests. I am 40 so too old for clomid therefore very pleased I am ovulating. Now waiting on date for laparoscopy so they can test Fallopian tubes etc. This is now our 2nd cycle since confirmation of ovulation so just hoping I can get a bfp so don't have to have op. Bfp will be due around 27th fx x

Hi fergie, do you know if prog levels vary each month? I'm pretty sure I do ovulate that's the thing,I get a stitch in my side around days 12-14. Maybe this month is a fluke? I've not had sore boobs and I've had a few separate occasions post day 14 where I've had ewcm. Maybe I didn't ovulate properly this month? I've been really regular these last 15 cycles off the implant, 27-30days, mostly 28&29. I have to repeat the test every 4 days so 25 and 29 (if no af then). Thing is if I did ov late we've not dtd since day 16 as DH been poorly!

Victoria sorry to hear about your day21 test result. I had this test in November and December last year and both results tested not ovulating. I was devastated and I was referred to a fertility clinic where I was tested again but on day22. These results showed I am ovulating. So please don't lose hope although I know exactly how you are feeling x

Been googling and can't find any info on whether its always low or if it can be different each month and just this month was low?! Have to see after the next prog test results and have to have the other hormones tested cd2-5. Then can see the doc about what the whole hormone profile means for us. Feel totally sick. Went really light headed when read the result :-( Am still in work at the mo keeping my cheery face on, I just want to go home, drink wine and cry!

I just had my day 21 progesterone test results back. Its not the answer I was hoping for. There is no way I can be pregnant, can I drop out of my own 2ww thread?!

Hi Kate! Congrats on the marriage. Is this 1st month ttc?

Im not feeling anything one way or another today. The weekend I will know if I have any af signs. I hope its not a 30 day cycle again this month, got my hope up last month! I'm mostly 28/29 with a bit of spotting leading up (which I always hope is implant of course!)

claudeekishi · 20/02/2014 10:03

Haha kate that made me laugh. Anti-symptoms. Yep, I'm mainlining coffee here too and I DON'T CARE.
Congrats on your marriage, by the way!

katecupoftea · 20/02/2014 08:59

Ooh I'm joining this thread! Due around 25th although I'm not sure I actually ov'd this month or if I did I was later than usual and missed it with the OPKs. Didn't get a +ve OPK but was only testing once a day, and then loads of stuff was happening (like getting married) and couldn't keep dtd. Plus (tmi?) I was really sore from dtd all the times before!
So I don't feel successful this month. Not only do I not have symptoms but I have ANTI-symptoms. Boobs hurt less than usual, alcohol tolerance has increased and I actually enjoyed the smell of tobacco the other day!

Hi Cheshire! Welcome to the 2ww for the 26th :-)

I've decided if I get a BFN again this month I'm trying ovsticks iinstead of relying on cm and pains. Got to have more bloods on day 2-5 of next cycle tho and still waiting for DH's SA appoint to arrive in the post, which is the longest wait of them all! I'm not giving up hope that we are both 'nornal' and there is still every chance this month tho. Normal til proven otherwise lol :-)

EmilyPinkOrBlue · 19/02/2014 21:28

Hi Cheshire your af/bfp is due same day as me! Congrats for making it halfway through evil tww I am chuffed lol this is my first time Ttc so it's all new to me but already driving me mad! I had period style cramping for last 4 days but seems to be tailing off a bit I was getting to my witts end with it!

cheshirem2b · 19/02/2014 16:27

Hi ladies,
I'm due AF/BFP around 26th as well - this is only ttc #1, cycle 2 so early days for us.
I had OV on 12th so 7dpo for me. Had some mild cramps Sunday/Monday but nothing major and nothing since.

Use the OV predictors and we dtd more regularly than normal from high through to peak and a couple of days after as well.

Fingers crossed for everyone!

Hazelbrowneyes · 19/02/2014 15:27

If I go on last months cycle, the 25th. However I think I ov'd a few days later this month (purely going by cramps) so I think I'm now due on 28th.

When are you due af hazel?

I usually get af signs 5 days before its due, so still got another 2 days of nothing. Saturday or Sunday things should start to get interesting!

OP posts:
Hazelbrowneyes · 19/02/2014 14:14

Convinced I'm out this month. Exactly the same symptoms as last month and that was PMS.

Will find out for sure next week, I guess Smile

Zermatt · 19/02/2014 13:44

I agree Victoria, from what I've read in all my googling and forum post trawls these last 2 months it really does sound like so many people either get lots of symptoms, some symptoms or no symptoms, or that the symptoms they do have are exactly same or similar to PMS symptoms, so I guess you're never out of the possibility of a BFP until AF is here and you really know you're out. I am hating the what ifs too.

It's really good that you're both getting tests done and if it doesn't work for you this month (which I really really hope isn't the case) then you'll have a bit more info know what's what for next month.

But I keep thinking not everyone feels implantation or gets spotting. Its not over until the middle of next week, which seems an age away! I've usually got pre-af symptoms by now too, been getting sore boobs a week before but nothing yet. I read a post a while back where the lady said if she gets sore boobs she knows she's NOT preg this month. Maybe that's the case for me and no boob change is good! Oh its all the what ifs that get to me! Sometimes I wish I'd not read anything up on conception!

claudeekishi · 19/02/2014 10:44

I know how you feel Victoria, I started off feeling confident but not so much now! 6dpo and not feeling that anything much is going on in there.

victoria401 · 19/02/2014 10:27

Its for progesterone levels which increase after ovulation, so its to make sure I ov really. I'm sure I do but I had low levels in a test for it 10 years ago so we are making sure. DH is waiting for a SA too. We dtd all the right times and nothing happens! I started this 2ww feeling confident but I'm on a downer again now :-(
