TMI alert! I think I'm ovulating, Ovia app says I'm in fw, lots of cm but it's pink tinged? Result of mc or should I call the dr?

katiegd · 12/07/2017 17:01

Yeah, Sarah, I think I've got quite a bit on my side - I'm relatively young, short cycles, seem to be ovulating normally (although tests will show if that's actually true!).

Off to docs shortly to discuss all of this, so we'll see what they say...

Sarah2209 · 12/07/2017 16:49

Hi Melody, it was combination of age and length of trying. As my DH’s problem is small samples, it just increases our chances as you can ovulate 2/3 eggs a month instead of 1. No idea if I have of course, but that’s the reason they gave it to me. I’m on 100mg, I think they start some on 50mg but usually that’s if they are not regularly ovulating, as it forces your body to ovulate if it works right for you.

Melody - sorry its a bfn :-(
Katie - I can relate to trying for a long time.... so frustrating. But at least your age is still with you. Stay strong.

Lisara/Rhi Bee - hope your both ok.

littlemimosa · 12/07/2017 16:13

Melody so sorry lovely.

Katie thanks for that. Sounds like quite a journey so far for you.

Lisara so glad to hear you're back on track.

Sarah can I ask how you got to the point of getting the clomid? Was it simply because you'd been trying for so long/age etc or was there something specific in your bloods results/scan results?

Sarah2209 · 12/07/2017 14:59

Hello all!

Thanks LittleMimosa, yes - still here. Just being a bit quiet trying to come to terms with the decision and not stress and let everyone else talk. Feel ok on the Clomid - no side effects other than I ovulate 3 days later than I usually would. I’m 3 dpo today - no symptoms so far, but it’s very early days!!

Might be worth trying Clomid - they put me on it for 5 months and then they review. So I’ve done one month and this is my second. Met a friend today who got pregnant after years of trying on Clomid... so it does work for some.

Hope everyone else is well.
Sx

lisara79 · 10/07/2017 22:31

aww... sorry to hear that melodypond17... Good to see you Mimosa! all good here cd3 ... all seem to be working again so ready for a new cycle!

Sorry to hear that melody.

littlemimosa - fx for you this month.

I am 32, TTC since Dec 2015, but DP had to be circumcised last year so that put things on hold and I wasn't tracking obsessively so unsure of exact number of cycles. Mine are short though so am guessing we're somewhere around cycle 12 now (or maybe 10, maybe 14!).

Melodypond17 · 10/07/2017 14:57

Af has arrived 5 days early... that's me out for this month :(

Fingers crossed for everyone else still in x

littlemimosa · 10/07/2017 12:25

Hi everyone. Been laying low for a while, trying to get my mind off ttc.
Hope you're all ok.
Rhi and Lisara hope you're both healing physically and emotionally after your mcs.
Melody fingers crossed for you. It's not over until the fat lady sings!
Shred how confusing. I hate it when you don't know what is going on.
Katie sorry if you are repeating yourself but how old are you and how long have you been ttc?
Sarah if you're still reading I hope you're ok. I read what you wrote and know it must've been a very difficult decision. (Understatement). How are you feeling physically on the clomid now? I've been to my gp who is doing bloods this week and said she'd prescribe clomid if I wanted it.
I'm 5/6dpo on the first cycle of ttc for 3 months so praying I won't need it but I'm realistic too.

katiegd · 09/07/2017 16:37

Hi all!

Shredtheevidence - Did you get positive opk earlier or later than usual? Hope it turns out to be a good and helpful thing rather than an anovulatory cycle or something.

RhiBee and Lisara - hope you're both doing ok.

Melody - sorry to hear bout BFN. Fx it's just too early.

As for me, I have just got a positive opk three days early, which either means a 23 day cycle or a long LP. I will have to wait for temp rise to confirm timings.

Also just checked my app and realised we haven't HS for about 2 and a half weeks! Oh dear. It's been a combination of DP being away and us both just being super busy and stressed, but that probably doesn't bode well for our TTC efforts this month.

We have booked to go to the doctor for the first time next week to discuss fertility. Fx it will get the ball rolling.

Refilona · 09/07/2017 11:43

Hi again guys. This month is the month!

Age 32
Ttc #1
Cycle 7
Cd10

This week will be... fun Blush

Shredtheevidence · 09/07/2017 11:38

Ov'd not played - stoopid phone

Shredtheevidence · 09/07/2017 11:36

Glad to see this thread picking up a bit again.

I am very confused this month. I didn't get positive opk at normal time (although it was close) and got ewcm later than expected. Am now 2 days overdue with no sign of af and bfn. I had very short luteal phase the last couple of months so a) I played at right time and lp has sorted itself a bit b) I ov'd late and af will turn up in the next few days c) I've had an anovulatory cycle and my body has gone batshit crazy!!!!!!

Melodypond17 · 09/07/2017 10:07

14dpo and a bfn today :(
Af due Thursday...

I should be relieved after drinking like a fish whilst on honeymoon but still gutted

RhiBee29 · 09/07/2017 07:46

Thanks @lisara79, Ovia suggests FW begins tomorrow so I'm on the lookout for EWCM, I've never had a positive ovulation stick! Had a chat to DH last night and we've decided to start TTC again in September. We got a really busy summer and it gives us time to process everything. I've booked a reflexology session for next week to try and regulate my hormones again.

lisara79 · 08/07/2017 22:52

@rhibee29 for me it was 31 days... I generally have a 29-30 day cycle so 31 days is only just over that... iv e had longer cycles before. I ovulated cd16 and 15 days is about normal luteral phase for me. Your hormone might have taken a little longer to drop though so might be a little longer... are you testing for ov? hopefully once you've ovulated, luteral phase might be about normal... fingers crossed for you. AF looks pretty normal so far but only cd1 so not counting my chickens... Make sure you feel up to it though Rhi... you have time to deal with the loss xxx

OP posts:
RhiBee29 · 08/07/2017 22:13

@lisara79 I'm wishing for AF to arrive too. Do you mind if I ask how long from mc to cd1? I'm still spotting 14 days after start of mc. I genuinely thought I'd want a break from TTC but the yearning for a baby has only intensified and I'm desperate to begin again!

lisara79 · 08/07/2017 19:45

AF arrives today... only one day late... never been so happy to see it!

OP posts:
lisara79 · 06/07/2017 22:51

Hi @pointeshoesandtutus and welcome! You are never out until AF shoes and could still be too early... the light bleeding could be implantation... fingers crossed for you.

welcome back @melodypond hope you had a lovely honey moon

I'm now a few days before AF and, unusually, hoping it comes on time as it will show system is back to normal after the early miscarriage... be nice to know all is in place! my mood swings are deffo here but I usually have pain and have had none this month at all... thought I felt ovulation but nothing since... fingers crossed for everyone!

PointeShoesAndTutus · 06/07/2017 07:59

Hello! I'm new!
Age: 31
TTC: #1
Cycle: 2
DPO: 12

This is so much harder than I thought! I was so sure I'd be totally chilled and all 'when it happens, it happens!' ...but every BFN absolutely kills me!

I was sure this month was the one - had cramping, nausea and the worst heartburn since about 7 DPO. On 11DPO I had some very slight pale pink CM on wiping (twice).

Tested 10DPO and again this morning. 2 BFN. Reckon I'm out for this month.

RhiBee29 · 06/07/2017 07:03

Congratulations @Melodypond17 Flowers hope you had an amazing honeymoon x

Melodypond17 · 06/07/2017 00:43

Hi guys

@RhiBee29 - I'm so sorry for what you're going through

Hello to all the new people :)

8dpo here and just back from honeymoon - and for the first time part of me is hoping for a bfn as I drank so much whilst we were away...

No symptoms at all except really bad heartburn but I think that might be all the delicious food we had while we were away!

RhiBee29 · 05/07/2017 06:56

Thanks @lisara79 I hope my cycle hasn't been affected too much

lisara79 · 04/07/2017 23:15

@rosiero123 are you checking your tempreture as well? it really helps you to know when you've ovulated... I also get some ovulation pain. For me it's usually the next day. I think as long as you dtd in the days before and then maybe once or twice after the opk is positive, you'll have covered all bases.

OP posts:
lisara79 · 04/07/2017 23:12

Welcome @rosiero123! I'm ttc #1 as well.... but this will be cycle 5.

@rhibee29 I counted the first day of bleeding as day 1 and I seemed to ovulate at the right time. I haven't been tracking this month properly as didn't want the stress as was sitting it out... I think AF due this weekend. I can certainly feel it coming! my pmt has certainly started with avengeance!
