Implantation confusion

Hi everyone, I'm super confused I come on every month the same time like clock work ever since I started its been the same date every month well this month I came on three days early and have been experiencing waves of dizziness last night I woke up and was sick once till the point I had nothing left to sick up but I felt so much better after and haven't been sick since when I came on the first two days have been super heavy and so many blood clots which also never happeneds for me and usually I am in creasing pain and this time I'v felt barely any pain I'm hungry all the time and never feel full but then feel sick randomly my bladder is terrible and also am feeling so tired but still sleeping at night, when googling Simptoms and about my period it comes up with implantation bleeding and loads of ladies saying they had it for 7 days like a normal period I don't know what to think any advice or any help would be super helpful

Did you test today?

OPK, not ool

VJONES1985 · 09/10/2017 16:15

No no no, you take an ool every day for about five or six days depending on the length of your cycle (it tells you in the leaflet in the box). So my cycle is 27 days long which means I'm supposed to start taking ov tests on day 11 of my cycle. You do one every day until it's positive, which means your luteunising hormone has spiked. This means you are due to ovulate in the next 12 to 36 hours, so as soon as you get a positive opk you should start having lots of sex!

Your tenperature rises AFTER you have ovulated so if you get a temp rise and haven't had sex for a few days, you've probably missed your fertile window. But the point of using OPKs and BBT charting together means you can pinpoint when you ovulated. Also keep an eye on cervical mucus - stretchy, see through stuff indicates your fertile window.

So it drops before your period and rises after ovulation and then when it rises do you take an ovulation test ?

Forgot to add, as you can see from my chart, the temp stays quite high until the day you are going to get your period, when it drops sharply.

What app do you use if you don't mind me asking

OP posts:
VJONES1985 · 08/10/2017 20:31

No, you have to use a basal thermometer. You check every morning at around the same time and it must be before you get out of bed or sit up or do anything really. Enter the temps on a fertility app or just a paper chart. Your temp rises the day after ovulatation, so you know you have ovulated. Here's my chart

I seem really dumb but how does it all work do you just get an ordinary thermometer and check it every day and write it down on the calander

OP posts:
VJONES1985 · 08/10/2017 20:23

Yeah, and chart your BBT, because it tells you after ovulation occurs so you know whether it's happened or not

You can get cheaper versions in the supermarket, and a basal thermometer is only about a fiver on Amazon

I bought a clear blue ovulation digital stick but didn't realize the things you put in the end where so expensive I wish they taught you all this in high school sex Ed was not educational at all

You could try using ovulation test kits and charting your basal temperature

I really hope so but it was 5 years my last relationship with no luck and over a year and a half and no luck in this relationship so I'm wondering and usually my periods are extremely painful and stop me from doing everything for the week that I'm on being a women is super complicated I wish men understood

VJONES1985 · 08/10/2017 19:49

If your periods are usually lkke clockwork, that must be a good sign that you're ovulating etc

VJONES1985 · 08/10/2017 19:48

My best friend has endometriosis and has successfully had one baby, is now pregnant with her second and she Is an egg donor. So it can be done :-)

I'm also terrified that I can't get pregnant im being tested soon for endometriosis so as much as it is scary i kind of have a little bit of hope that it could still happen

OP posts:
VJONES1985 · 08/10/2017 19:45

No problem. I was in a similar situation this cycle - I had loads of symptoms after ovulation and was really surprised when my period started on Thursday, three days early. I haven't tested at all because I'm pretty sure it's just a normal period, but I can imagine how you feel.

Thank you you've been so helpful it's scary sometimes when your uneducated about these things and you have no one to talk to about it

So if it was implantation bleeding, you would have implanted at 12dpo which is within the realms of possibility. You could test today or tomorrow and expect it to be positive if that was in fact implantation.
