I think I have line eyes. The photo is rubbish but I am sure there is a line there! Anyone see anything?

Welcome all. It's getting a bit exciting now!

@littlegoose I got my first period 5 weeks after getting the implant removed. That's a normal cycle length for me, so it must have started me pretty much on cd1.

I'm around 4dpo now.

@Fia256 I'm so sorry- that must have been terrible. I've lost two as well so I understand the struggle. Fingers crossed for a sticky baby very soon !

Fia256 · 23/09/2017 08:30

@MyEternalSunshine thankyou, thankfully I feel ok, just an infection from a sodding insect bite!

Not really sure how to answer the cycle question lol. Feels like we’ve been doing this forever. I’d say a year in, however we had an early miscarriage in dec, then I lost a little boy half way through in June, then a chemical at the start of this month! So technically this is month 1 again. Just doesn’t feel it lol!!

MyEternalSunshine · 23/09/2017 08:08

@Fia256 how wonderful! So sorry to hear you're unwell hope you feel better soon Flowers what cycle are you on?

pixielove123 · 23/09/2017 07:04

@Fia256 it could be the antibiotics changing your temps. But hopefully iI’ll will shoot up soon showing ovulation. Wish there was a recipe like making a cake ....

Fia256 · 23/09/2017 07:00

@pixielove123 yours definitely does not look anovulatory to me 🤔 mine seems to be that way though unless it’s the antibiotics changing my temps, and my dd is poorly so up a lot with her the last few nights however I’m still certain I haven’t ovulated. This is mine look. Yours looks much better than mine lol

PabloEscobarlo · 23/09/2017 06:57

I'm not sure about temping too much but that's how mine is looking. Will keep dtd today and check and assume I'm going to ovulate today possibly tommorow Smile

pixielove123 · 23/09/2017 06:54

@Fia256 so sorry you are on antibiotics. Please be kind to yourself and rest. I’m sure they won’t harm TTC.

@PabloEscobarlo I’ll be waiting responses to your question to as I’m also interested. I read on Google that the egg last for 12-24 hours (Ladies please correct me if I’m wrong) so I reckon if you can maybe try DTD the tonight as I would say tomorrow would be too late.

Any idea why my temp keeps rising? I had a positive OPK yesterday too (well as near as). Below is a screen shot of it.... I keep looking at ‘charts like mine’ on Fertility Friend and it keeps showing me Anovulatory graphs. Does that mean that mine is going to be that? Sob sob!

Aph413 · 23/09/2017 06:50

Sounds like it's complete to me Pablo but I'd just keep going for good measure Grin

PabloEscobarlo · 23/09/2017 06:46

Well I had a positive opk yesterday tea time so we dtd, this morning it was negative and I've had a rise in temperature.
Does this mean ovulation is complete or should we keep going for a few days?

Fia256 · 22/09/2017 22:32

I’m feeling slightly peeved off this month already!

Into the two week wait now (if I have actually ovulated that is 🤔) and bang on time, I’m now on antibiotics for the next week!! the dr did say they are fine to take when ttc, but after having 4 losses in a row I feel like any little thing is going to ruin our chances! Although dr did point out it’s better than having an infection when ttc!

Fia256 · 22/09/2017 22:27

@MyEternalSunshine I’m trying for number 3!

PsychologyGeek · 22/09/2017 22:06

Hi all!

Hopping on the bus...

TTC #1
Cycle #2
32
BFP due 12th October

Have started using Boots OPKs (strips), just wondering if others rate these compared to the fancy (but expensive!) ClearBlue smiley tests?

CoconutGal · 22/09/2017 19:21

Blood tests all done & results should be back within 5-7 days. In the meantime AF has been suspiciously light & short. Usually AF is 5-7 days for me. Days 1,2,3 being the worst. This time 4 days, light bleeds. Only having to change pad twice-three times in a day. Now there's no bleeding at all.

MyEternalSunshine · 22/09/2017 19:19

Beautiful Wow 5! That's amazing Smile good luck to you- oh that's great to hear, for sure I don't know what I'm in for Grin

felicityheather · 22/09/2017 18:57

Does anyone else use a ferning microscope? Interested to see what people thought of results.

BeautifulLiar · 22/09/2017 18:20

Eternal I am trying for number 5. Three children is a great number. I loved it! Xx

CherryVicky29 · 22/09/2017 17:03

pixielove123 · 22/09/2017 16:45

@Aph413 gosh that is long. And I to think I was getting impatient.

Hi can I join? Very new to this.

Ttc #1
Cycle 1
Age 27

Had my nexplanon implant removed 13th September after just over two years so not sure on my cycle at the moment. Negative opk so far although today's was definitely darker than all the others so hoping that's a sign of things to come! Does anyone have any experience on ovulatinf after implant removal? Thanks Smile

Aph413 · 22/09/2017 16:29

Hopefully it is pixie I'm on CD23 now and getting fed up
