@Veganmedic have you tested again? Keeping 🤞🏻 for you.

Veganmedic · 04/08/2018 17:32

Tested this morning and another bfn. Some period cramps today so expecting AF in the next day or so-though this would be early based on when I think I ovulated.

FlapJackered · 04/08/2018 17:12

Ah sorry about the bfn @Veganmedic but it is still v early days, when do you think you will test again?

Veganmedic · 03/08/2018 12:28

Well I caved and tested yesterday evening-naturally negative as only 8dpo. So impatient. Timing awful for next couple of months so still hoping this month works out. That cycle length must be so frustrating Aph-hope the Gp is helpful

FlapJackered · 03/08/2018 12:15

@Aph413 so sorry to hear the inositol didn't do the job. I would definitely get to the docs when you're back, that must be really frustrating. I hope you're ok otherwise.

Sorry to hear you're moving ovee to infertility thisis
Been a bit absent from this thread because despite all previous signs of ovulation and my cycle finally regulating it's currently CD88. So pissed off about it all. Inositol hasn't worked yet, I actually stopped taking it because I just got so disheartened by it all.
Currently on holiday for 2 weeks. If no AF by the time I get back I'm going to have to go to the doctors and get something to start it off.

Fingers crossed he perks up soon @flapjackered. Part of why I’m resigned to
Getting a BFN is that my ovulation was around the heatwave and we tried but couldn’t manage every time we should have-too damn hot!

FlapJackered · 31/07/2018 15:52

@Veganmedic 🤞🏻for you for the weekend!
I got my flashing smiley today on cd11 so hoping that means ovulation this week which would mean another normal cycle 🎉
Annoyingly (poor 🙄) DH is ill at the moment so we are not Dtd at all, really hope he perks up tonight.

Veganmedic · 31/07/2018 13:28

@thisisouryrfx18 - good luck for a bfp, hope you get the help you need. My cycle has flipped back to 40ish days this month. Currently in 2ww but not feeling optimistic as the change in cycle length and other stressors meant I’m not sure we’ve timed dtd right again. Trying to avoid testing till at least 10dpo which will be the weekend. How’s everyone else getting on?

Thanks @thisisouryrfx18 - all done so hopefully all good results. She said they will be ready this time next week.

@Wingingit3211 - I can imagine. That is great that you know it can happen though!

Wingingit3211 · 23/07/2018 18:18

@flapjackered I’m going to start temping next month when my period FINALLY arrives! My eldest son was conceived on a 6 month cycle so I know it is possible, just frustrating

@FlapJackered gd luck with ur blood tests! if it makes u feel any better my results came back pretty quick and so did a lot of the girls i talk to on here, and at least hormonal issues can b medicated x keep us updated hun

@Lilsquish that's so frustrating about the clomid, It does feel like gps make it unnecessarily difficult sometimes, when it really doesn't impact them at all!

@Wingingit3211 I feel for you - I've been there and it's not fun. Are you temping? Do you know if you've ovulated?

I have got a blood test tomorrow to check all the hormones are the right levels.
Although my cycle was shorter this time, my period was only 2 days long 🙄 and now just some spotting (on day 3) which doesn't feel overly positive. The internet says it could be low oestrogen so hopefully if it is that will show up on the bloods.

@Lilsquish yh im gonna start using them in a day or 2fx my ovulation has stayed the same..i had the same problem a couple of cycles ago mine was shorter than usual i had to use opks twice a day for about2 wks to catch my ovulation. Still didnt get pregnant tho obvs lol

OP posts:
Lilsquish · 23/07/2018 14:37

Aww are you using opks @thisis?

Iv just started today for this month although my app has calculated another 14 days til ov (but this is based on a 42 day cycle)

Last month i was 34 days......

Cd 39 here , 6 cycles ttc#3. Sick of negative tests and waiting around for my period. Fed up today

Lilsquish · 22/07/2018 21:38

Thats a great cycle lenght 'flap' but sorry u never got bfp.

Fab news on ur oh sperm results 'this'.

I had a telephone convo with my doc this week. I was all excited about her prescribing me clomid.......

She was like 'oh im not going to do that. I need to refer you to a fertility expert'.

Ffs. Just give me the tablets and stop wasting time!!!!

@thisisouryrfx18 AF turned up this morning. Feel partly frustrated as we Dtd at all the right times, and partly great that my cycle was only 29 days! Shortest ever!
Ah well trying to see the positives that I will be able to drink on my holiday in August.
