So it seems I was using first respobse rapid results not early results. They aren't meant to be used until your miss your period Blush. Still negative on internet cheapies but I'm now stupidly hopeful. Still determined I'm going to wait and stop looking at the stupid evap line on my test from this morning

Aph413 · 04/05/2018 17:32

Oh true, switching to vaginal halway through my last cycle made mine jump all over the place. Maybe click discard on all temps not done vaginally?
Inositol is sometimes prescribed to people with pcos because it helps regulate hormones and insulin resistance. People on the ovusense support group often seem to swear by it

@Aph413 i hope its all a mix up for u and shitty tests that dnt work it can happen..i just got told on another thread(yes im totally addicted to mumsnet! lol) to ignore last weds high temp cause i was drinking tues nite, soo i did and fertility friend thinks i ovulated on the 29th! I really hope im not getting my hopes up for nothing.

I've just type my reply 3 times only for my phone to flip out each time and delete it.
I'm desperate for my BFP but I'm trying not to get my hopes up so I won't be testing now until the 10th if my period stays away.

If the bitch does turn up I've just treated myself to a little introduction into the world of cloth sanitary towels which will hopefully feel a lot nicer than the rustly plastic disposables I seem to keep finding.
I know they aren't everyones cup of tea but they're really pretty and I've ordered one that says twat mat which amuses me no end.

Next shopping trip is for inositol but I cant decide which form to buy. You can get powders or some capsules with other supplements but I need to research first.

So sorry to hear that both of you.
Although still some hope until AF comes 🤞🏻

Gracesmom28 · 04/05/2018 12:26

It is really disheartening thinking of you, I hope your blessed with baby dust soon xxx

Aph413 · 04/05/2018 11:52

Sorry to hear that @gracesmom28 it's so disheartening to get that positive and then have it go away. Especially as now it'll be another 2 months of trying for me Sad

Gracesmom28 · 04/05/2018 11:45

Aph413 I’m the same today I was convinced this was the month!! I even had a faint line too but everyday since then has been negative, today the cramps have started I just know af is coming Sad xx

Aph413 · 04/05/2018 11:19

Negative on a first response today and cramps are in full flow. I'm thinking that might have been a chemical Sad

@Aph413 yh we re always happy to listen ur giving me hope tbh if you can get pregnant with a long cycle maybe i can lol not gonna lie i couldnt wait id b using a frer lol

Aph413 · 03/05/2018 22:13

I only have 1 digital left so I'm saving it for Sunday. I'm torn between doing another first response and just hanging on to get a proper line.
I'm glad I've got this thread to be neurotic on. You're all in a similar position with cycle length so you understand.

thisisouryrfx18 · 03/05/2018 20:38

@Aph413 its prob because you had a chemical your scared to get your hopes up like i said totally understandable id b the exact same. From everything ive read tho plenty of ppl have 1 and then go onto to have healthy pregnancies the odds of it happening twice id say were slim. R u testing on a digital in the morning?

OP posts:
Aph413 · 03/05/2018 17:48

I'm honestly terrified for this wait. It's going to be the longest few days of my life.
Fingers crossed for your ovulation. Just have to keep temping and doing opks and you'll catch it.

@Aph413 wow! dnt know how u do it u must be exhausted half the time..oh well that was gd timing to give u a rest. Roll on sunday then lol ive still not had a positive opk according to sumone else on another thread i should ovulate in the nxt couple of days if im going to she seems to know her stuff when it comes to charts etc.

OP posts:
Aph413 · 03/05/2018 17:14

Yep this weekend I'm only in 5 hours instead of 15. He's working though. If I get a positive digital then I'll be telling him when he gets home. Honestly think I'll wait til sunday to make sure I'm late

Aph413 · 03/05/2018 17:00

@thisis I'm waiting for the digital before I tell him this time.
@Flap CD38 I ovulated according to opks. Definitely shows a long cycle doesn't completely count us out

FlapJackered · 03/05/2018 16:04

So nice to have some good news!
Do you mind me asking what CD you ovulated? It would be nice to have some hope with these long cycles!
