@Gems7 just do it do it do it!! Woohoo!! Haha enjoyyyyyy xx

Gems7 · 25/01/2020 16:05

Holy shit! I have just had some EWCM.. literally just messaged my OH and told him to get the hell home RIGHT NOW!! can you still have EWCM and not ovulate? I don't care, I'm DTD just in case! Xx

Gems7 · 25/01/2020 14:50

Sorry girls I didn't explain myself very well there, so we have been trying 7 months now. I have been seen by my own GP, she did 21 day bloods in October and November, both showed low progesterone (not massively low I think one was 28.5 and the other slightly lower) she didn't seem bothered about it though.. (although I am) anyway that's all that's happened so far as it's a "two way process" and she won't refer me for any scans etc until my OH has had his sperm tested.. personally I think she could still refer me in the meantime but she won't. And my OH's GP won't do anything with him because they say we need to have been trying for 9-12 months.. even though my OH is even older than me.. so we are a bit stuck at the moment! 😣

@Ellsbells112 yey for the Letrozole, that's really lucky, fingers crossed they work for you this cycle, I really hope they do hun xx

@Robbo93 I'm sorry you're still waiting hun 😞 it's shit!! Xx

@Anny27 Any developments since yesterday?

I'm still getting a big round circle on the clearblue OPK's, don't know what the chuff is going on! I've only been doing them first thing in the morning but I'm thinking I can't be ovulating this month. I'll buy the purple ones for next month and try again!

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend so far! Xx

Robbo93 · 24/01/2020 16:41

@Gems7 nooooope 🙈

Anny27 · 24/01/2020 14:31

@Gems7 how long have you been trying? Yeah I have heard it is 6 months for 35+

@ellsbells112 yayy for EWCM!!

Think I am out girls, brown spotting today at 12dpo :( literally wanna cry

Ellsbells112 · 24/01/2020 14:27

@Gems7 I didn't get them from my doctor, bless my sister she gave me one months supply so I'm like omg I have to get everything right this month lol because that's it after.
I know its bloody awful, I feel like as well because it's taking so long I'm like well it's obvi not going to happen there's an issue but I know it CAN argh it's just doing my head in, obvi you too!!

Yeah I just saw ewcm so ill defo do tonight... And go through it every evening till temperature rise to be sure!

But hold on if you're 35 shouldn't it be 6 months and then seen?

Gems7 · 24/01/2020 13:15

@Ellsbells112 The stress is very real! It feels like work! 😤 for me DTD like this trying to conceive every month is taking the enjoyment out of it, it's so difficult to remain positive.
I didn't know they use Letrozole these days, it used to be clomifene, is this your first cycle on them?
If I were you I would just DTD from tonight, you don't want to miss it and like you said it will be late anyway won't it
We are DTD every other day, and have been all week but with the absence of that smiley face I'm not convinced I'm even ovulating this month to be honest. I am only using the OPK's first thing in the morning at the mo, I will take your advice and use them in the evening aswell for the next few days. My Gp won't even send me for a scan until we have been trying for 12 months 😞 and I'm 35 I'm not in my twenties anymore!

@Robbo93 Has AF arrived yet hun?

Ellsbells112 · 24/01/2020 08:57

I think I'm going to do it today, it'll be late anyway moreso early hours of Saturday, then Saturday evening and Sunday, we'll, until my temperature rise

Ellsbells112 · 24/01/2020 08:55

@Gems7 hmm I don't know much about the pink ones but maybe now start doing them morning and evening??

I got a flashing smiley today but no sign of any ewcm, I normally ovulate on cd15 and I get a peak fertility on the day of my temperature rise, I'm cd12 today! Normally only get flashing 1-2 days prior to peak, should I start this evening? Thing is I took that letrozole and I have been worried it will change my ovulation date, it also interferes with ewcm. Production but I've been taking evening primrose oil to help that along.

My cervix feels higher than normal but not as high and soft when peak fertile. The thing is I don't want to dtd today if I have to do Saturday and Sunday, I kind of want to just those 2 days so maybe the sperm is stronger but I'm worried lol I don't want to miss ovulation. Ffs the stress is real. What should I do? Just dtd anyway? I wanna see ewcm 😩

Gems7 · 24/01/2020 07:14

@Anny27 There's still time yet..

Today is CD13 for me and according to my app the day I have ovulated for the last 2 months! The pink clear blue OPK's still haven't given me a smiley face so far though and I've been using them since last Saturday.. starting to lose bloody hope! 😫

How's everyone else? Xx

Anny27 · 24/01/2020 06:14

Bfn for me! Maybe a SLITHER of a line but nothing to get excited about, had to squint and even then could be an indent Haha

Gems7 · 23/01/2020 21:24

@Anny27 good luck for tomorrow morning 🤞🏻😘 xx

Gems7 · 23/01/2020 21:23

@Laur89 I'm sorry AF has arrived angel, I'm actually annoyed for you! Get yourself a bottle of wine and a straw! TTC is really shit at times! Big hugs xx

Ellsbells112 · 23/01/2020 08:23

@Robbo93 I use femometer which I find really useful :)

Hows everyone getting on?

11dpo today and cant sleep 😴😴

Not testing until friday morning

Ellsbells112 · 21/01/2020 18:14

@Robbo93 I use fertility friend it gives you a lovely chart easy to follow x

Robbo93 · 21/01/2020 17:17

@Ellsbells112 thanks doll, I wish you all the very best too 🙏

What do you guys use to track bbt? I'm currently only using glow, but can't seem to find an easy (free) way to see recordings clearly? X

Ellsbells112 · 21/01/2020 15:29

Yeah @Robbo93 what @anny27 said, it only matters what you have after ovulation. I really hope things work out, for the both of you!! Xx

Anny27 · 21/01/2020 13:43

I hope so 🤞🤞🤞 @Gems7 @Robbo93 gonna test on friday morning so will let you know!!

@robbo93 they are a little low but what really matters is what they are like post ovulation. If they are still low post ovulation then that indicates low progesterone. So keep on temping to see a pattern:)

Robbo93 · 21/01/2020 13:04

@Anny27 ooooo 🤞 xx

Robbo93 · 21/01/2020 13:03

@Anny27 @Ellsbells112 I thought it was bad because it was low, I'd been reading that everyone else was around 36/37 lol

I've booked myself in at the doctors but it's in 3 weeks time. If I get a bleed before then I'll cancel it x

Gems7 · 21/01/2020 12:57

@Anny27 omg that sounds really really promising! The most common day to implant is 9DPO. If that's not normal for you then I'd say you are pregnant! Eeeeeekk 🙏🏻🤞🏻 xxx

Anny27 · 21/01/2020 11:41

Girls I have just had some pinky/brown cm at 9dpo!! Implantation??? Hope it's not AF !!
