Reckon if I call the hospital dept they will know what it's for?

Lol @Frazzle I would have had a heart attack.

Fx'd there's nothing to panic about. Weird about the letter though!

I've just got off the phone with GP receptionist to get results of the swabs (re spotting) and I held my breath for about 5 seconds..

The first thing she said was "Gonnorrhea...."
Then, while I was dying inside, came out with... "clear"
I thought she was telling me I had gonnorrhea! Not telling me the results for the test. Fucking norah, I nearly collapsed in those few seconds. She said I need to have a phone appointment with the GP next week. She said if it was anything serious she would have contacted me immediately so it is apparently just a chat. Weird though that I just received a hospital appointment letter to go to gynea on 21st Feb Hmm.
I did say to the receptionist I felt a bit in the dark but she reiterated it won't be anything serious - I bloody hope not!

What @Rather said @Kinsters. This is such a shit show isn't it Sad

I'm really sorry Kinsters Sad everything looked so positive too. xx

Kinsters · 07/02/2019 10:35

Started spotting now so that's me put out of my misery. I'm hoping for a proper period as I'm concerned about my lining thickness (although have read that period heaviness and length isn't correlated to lining thickness/fertility...could be wrong on that one though).

Kinsters · 07/02/2019 10:10

Tigsy no don't worry, I'm already giving myself false hope! The digitals packet says it measures 25mui and is 98% accurate the day before your period is due (13dpo for most people, so, today). I'm still holding out a little bit of hope but realistically I'm expecting my temp to carry on falling tomorrow. I'm back in the UK on Saturday and will be raiding all Boots I pass for FRERs. And reminding DH how much he spends on his hobbies if he objects. Lol

Rose 😂 now you mention it the positioning of my ic hcg tests is really hard because the area you're allowed to get wet is about 5mm high. I really hope you prove yourself wrong...I don't think we can trust anything out bodies tell us.

Rose68 · 07/02/2019 09:59

What is a positioned opk? 😩 I hope you positioned it well while weeing on it 😂
No more tests for me, there’s no point ☹️

tigsyboo · 07/02/2019 09:57

Kinsters not trying to give you any false hope but don't forget the digitalis are measuring 50mui not 10 like a frer.....

Kinsters · 07/02/2019 09:56

Yes, my luteal phase is almost at normal length this cycle which I guess is not a bad consolation prize!

Have you tested again at all Rose?

Rose68 · 07/02/2019 09:46

@Kinsters if you had positioned opks then Ian would have thought they would be right. It looks like your LP is a good length this month, which is definitely a positive. I am 12 dpo today & I’m expecting AF to turn up tomorrow.

@BettySwoll0cks I had a really slow rise last cycle. (1st pic)
This cycle is a quick rise (2nd pic) I've no idea what any of it means!

Oh no @ratherbeshowjumping I'm sorry
I'm sure it will be something treatable. FX

Charting blows my teeny little brains!! Lol
I don't know what any of it means and especially this month where I've had such disturbed sleep and random get up times.

Oh @rather that is a worry Sad

Fertility friend says there's no correlation between pregnancy and immediate post o temperatures but you're right and it is a bit worrying that there isn't that immediate temp rise. Like I said, I had the same with my pregnancy chart (though pre o temps were lower). Not sure whether that means it was doomed from the start or whether it means immediate post o temps don't mean much! It's all so confusing.

BettySwoll0cks · 07/02/2019 08:28

Oh yes @kin that's interesting, yours sits just above the cover line for a few days too. I thought it was meant to be pretty immediate because of the progesterone surge. I wonder if that's indicative of something... that'll give me something to Google/ worry about later!!

Kinsters · 07/02/2019 08:22

Rose this is my chart today, my temp rise is slow and my pre o temps were unusually high this cycle so it's hard to see the pattern. I think O could possibly be at 5dpo on my chart cause that's where temp starts increasing. But generally opks have been accurate for me so I really don't know.

Kinsters · 07/02/2019 08:19

Mine is like that Betty, takes ages to get going and makes it really hard to interpret where O day is. With my pregnancy cycle I had a flat temp of 36.5 from days 1-4 post ovulation, it only stared rising at 5dpo.

BettySwoll0cks · 07/02/2019 08:15

DH has been out the past 2 nights so we haven't DTD since Monday. I think next month I'll make sure we keep going every day until I can confirm Ov 🤔

Rose68 · 07/02/2019 08:14

@Kinsters, was there some doubt over when you ovulated? If you did ovulate a few days later than your chart suggests that could explain the lack of AF so far. x

BettySwoll0cks · 07/02/2019 08:12

@rather I'm so sorry to hear about your FIL, hoping for the best for you all

@kin that sucks, hope AF comes soon so you can move on into a new cycle Thanks

Don't know what my body is up to. Was hoping for a nice temp rise, it's proper dragging its heels...

Kinsters · 07/02/2019 08:07

rather yep, more worry and more waiting...

I expected to start bleeding on Monday so if it doesn't start today then I'm three days late. Or is it four? I don't know how you count it.

Rose68 · 07/02/2019 08:03

@Kinsters I’m so sorry, it’s crap how our bodies can play tricks on us. I have had left shoulder pain for the last few days, O’m sure it feels like the shoulder pain I had when I was pregnant. I think that’s why I got my hopes up. x

@Rather I’m so sorry about FiL, we have been through it in the last couple of years and it’s shit. I really hope your FIL will be okay. x

ratherbeshowjumping · 07/02/2019 07:55

Ps @Kinsters how many days late are you now?
