TTC First Baby Thread 19

Today's OPK after my holiday away, seems it's still positive so going to DTD everyday until tests are negative 😆

Ladies quick question can you have long opk with temp rise ?

I had 6 days of high opk but no peak yet and I am 4 days past my supposed ovulation date

So confused

@Lozzlepop if you're following SMEP then dtd tonight, tomorrow, miss a day then again on Tuesday. 👍🏼

@XjustagirlX - you can’t do it mid-cycle, but it’s in settings>general chart setup.

Ps - we’re on a new thread now: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/3617640-TTC-First-Baby-Thread-20?watched=1

Hi does anybody know how I can change from Celsius to Fahrenheit in fertility friend app?

Hi everyone, I'm out this month :( AF arrived this morning...

I might try the ovulation stick things this month....

So scared I'm unable to have kids :'(

@Lozzlepop I say do both!

@LokiCat it’s been quite fun actually,
Glad it’s not felt like a chore! Have an amazing time can’t wait to hear about it when you get back!!

@MrsEG so glad you’ve met with the consultant and have a plan to follow that must be a weight off your mind! And just look at that lovely line, we were driving home and got stuck in traffic and it started to pour so pulled my phone out to catch up and as I was scrolling down reading your update I looked up and saw the biggest rainbow 🌈 I have such a good feeling for you!

@LikeTheFruit 👋🏻 do you think you have managed to DTD around when you think you have I’m just back from Majorca and my sis in law is there just now- popular choice!

@ELW85 I’m so glad that the doctor is being proactive and getting you back in, that must be a weight off your mind that things are moving in the right direction!

@Larrydavid have a ball at Glastonbury ☺️

Well ladies I finally have a positive OPK 🎉 so my question is we DTD last night should we go again tonight or leave it for tomorrow or do both? 😂

@mrseg so pleased for you, how strong that line is!!

@Larrydavid thank you, I think the expectation all around me might also be in my head, apart from my mother...

Thanks @ELW85 Last night wasn't too bad, just this one and I'm off on annual leave.

We're going to Majorca @Larrydavid Can't stop checking the weather it's looking very nice!! After AF came last month I booked all inclusive and will be indulging haha. Oh that's annoying about your ov date. You'll have such a great time at Glastonbury though.

@MrsEG omg that line! So exciting. Keeping everything crossed that it works out for you!

@LikeTheFruit Where are you going on holiday?

@ELW85 Sounds like your doctors are testing all the right things!

@LindyMoe Sorry you've been having a crappy time but I do think mostly people just don't let on that they're trying for a baby. I haven't really told anyone. Feels like it'll be easier to say it after a bfp I guess.

@flossy12 I totally feel your pain - ovulation at inconvenient times is not fun!!

I have ovulation coming but I think it's now likely to be when I'm at glasto, sharing a tent with 6 people! Whyyyyyy 😭😭😭

@MrsEG - exactly! The doctor didn’t think my progesterone was an issue but when I mentioned my varying LPs, she was on board. She also mentioned referring us to a clinic for tests on how narrow my tubes might be, but I’m definitely Ov so that’s good!

@LikeTheFruit - that is some shift!! I would have said Ov around CD16.
I hope the night shifts aren’t too awful :)

@ELW85 glad you're being taken seriously now and hope test results give you some answers.

Certainly looks like I've had enough of a temp rise. Though been on night shift last night so today's result was different time of day albeit after 4 hours sleep.

Oh @MrsEG what a beautiful line!! So happy for you xx

@ELW85 Oh that’s interesting, so if they can treat the prolactin hopefully that will solve other issues at the same time? Ah great stuff. It’s crap hearing something isn’t ‘quite right’ isn’t it but so good to know it can be treated/sorted!

Hi ladies
Back from the docs; they want me in for CD3 tests tomorrow and to re-test my prolactin (which was high). Interestingly, high prolactin causes the low progesterone I was worried about so at least if it remains high, it’ll get treated and maybe remedy my LP.
The doctor thinks my progesterone levels are good though, so we shall have to wait and see!

@MrsEG - what a line!! Wow!! So pleased for you and thanks for the lovely message earlier :)

@LikeTheFruit - if your temp is up enough for a shift, it sounds like you’ve Ov’d? Difficult to tell but you could still be gearing up? It’s a tempestuous journey, this TTC!

@MaceyP87 - good luck!

Hey ladies!

That's a lovely strong lobe @MrsEG so pleased everything is in place for you this time.

I'm now Cd21. Totally given up on OPKs are they are very pale now so totally missed my surge somehow (despite testing 2-3/day) 🤷‍♀️. I've taken the negatives out of the apps and they have be ovulating somewhere between sat and Monday according to BBT. I'm hoping that as temp is on the way up that I have ovulated.

We're off on holiday early Saturday morning and I will not be taking my thermometer 😂😂.

Anyone testing this weekend?

Also, my monthly delivery of FRERs from Amazon just arrived (ha). Couldn’t resist so just did one. Technically we think I’m about 16DPO now but still, I don’t think I’ve ever had quite such a strong line before. It came up immediately. I still can’t quite believe this is happening.

@DuchessofPemberley congratulations on your BFP.

An update on us. Today is 8 DPO and this morning at 0610 we did temperature and it had dropped by 0.4c so quite the dip. Could be getting ready for AF though. Also worth to note woke up with headache.

Around midday wife started to have nausea, a numb back pain rather than a muscular pain which last around an hour. Went toilet around 2 and had light bleed / spotting. Could very well be implantation only time will tell. We are planning to do a test on Sunday unless AF arrives.

@Fivebyfive2 @cupcakesandglitter Thank you so much lovely ladies xxxx

@MrsEG couldn't have said it any better than @Fivebyfive2 mega happy for you ❤️ xx

@MrsEG, just wanted to pop on and say I'm so happy you're consultant is looking after you and that you have a good treatment plan in place! Your dh sounds amazing, so glad that you're so supported by him and your friends and family. Although, it is only what you deserve, you're an amazing person, always so supportive to us all and very positive. Xxx

@ELW85 I’ve got my fingers firmly crossed for you guys, really hope it’s all a step in the right direction :)
