Just want AF to arrive so new cycle can begin...

@Ughmaybenot yeah my test Monday is to see if I ovulate so will be curious to see. Maybe try diff OPKs though because I started on clearblue digital ones and never had an issue but on the internet cheapies I never got a positive.
I know I’ve found it so difficult, which is a bit daft as I literally started because my friend took over a year with no cause and I realised I wanted to be pregnant in a year so I’m a way I’m glad I started early but now I’m in the place where that times now passing 😞
Tbf I’m kinda happy to wait out the year trying as only 27 but I thought I’d get the tests started as don’t want to ring up at end of year and it take another year to get to IUI.
I paid for day 3 private tests in like April and they were fine so really don’t think they’re going to find anything which is frustrating

Very possibly @LS2020 but I don’t really know. There wasn’t a definite peak, I don’t think, no. I don’t know, this whole fandango is just starting to really make me think that I don’t ovulate at all 🤦🏼‍♀️ I guess all we can really do is carry on as we are and then if we get to the 12 month mark, try and get some answers then. It’s just the disappointment month after month!!
No I know exactly what you mean, like there’s no obvious logical reason this should be so hard! Doesn’t make sense and, honestly I know I sound like a child, but it just feels really unfair tbh!

@Ughmaybenot I haven’t done the temping yet mainly because I hear it’s a very strict set of rules, ie same time every morning and always after at least 4 hours of sleep, like what if a girls gotta pee in the night 😂 could missing any of that be cause of your up and down?
Did you ever get a positive OPK or did it just get sort of darker and then back lighter? It could be possible that you had a surge but didn’t release and so going again but I thought that process was a couple of days, not as long as you’re having now!
But honestly lovely I’m right there with you, we’re past the year mark and I’m so annoyed because we’re young and healthy and I do have a bit of a stressful job as an accountant, it’s not life consuming you know? I genuinely didn’t think it would be this long 😫 especially as everyone seems to PG at the moment!!

@LS2020 okay so this is where I might have confused matters... I have been temping mostly every day, and that’s been following no particular pattern. I was doing OPKs everyday, but they sort of got stronger and stronger lines and then went back down a while ago. Altho never reaching an absolute positive, the strongest line was CD 19, and I’m now on CD 32. I stopped doing OPKs on CD 24 as they’d tailed off to nothing.
I’m growing increasingly negative tho. My back, while never good, has been truly awful yesterday and this morning and I’ve had a bit of crampy feelings. So I do think I’m probably out this month... again.
Feel a bit deflated, we’ve officially crossed the six months trying mark and I really never even entertained the fact it would take this long. Nightmare!

@Ughmaybenot like I think it could be how warm it is that’s impacting your temp*

Thanks @Ughmaybenot feeling better today but heat last night was awful so just having a lazy one in bed. Have you just been following on temps only or doing OPK? I would think it could be temp. My RHR was on its way up but dropped again last night so think I will be out this month. Weird as would thought RHR would go up with heat!

Ah that sucks 😔 hope you don’t feel like that for too long!!

I don’t even know 😂 my temp has rocketed this morning so now I’m wondering if I am just ovulating late and I’m fuming cause DH has been away for a week so haven’t been DTD at all... but equally it was quite warm last night 😂 honestly, all over the shop this month! Hoping I haven’t ovulated late cause that means even longer before I know whether it’s this month or not for me 🤦🏼‍♀️

How’s everyone getting on?

Think I’m 5DPO today and blood test for progesterone is on Monday. Having some wicked symptoms as it seems my body know it’s being tested and getting all the progesterone feels already... sore boobs, face has totally broken out and I’ve had rolling cramps past 2 days with loads of CM, literally felt like my AF had come on full force then this morning was so nauseous couldn’t move for half an hour while it subsided. Already over this cycle!

@mrswilso we will probably have the most boring pregnancies ever! We can be those smug women that’s like ‘oh morning sickness? Never heard of her, I breezed though!’ It’s the least we’re owed 🤣

@LS2020 I'm so ridiculously over the hormones already...I'm gonna be a riot when I'm actually pregnant haha! 😂😭

@mrswilso my best friend sent me it saying it was deffo gonna happen to me as similar, my mum is a twin so we’re more likely to have as the saying goes! One at a time is fine!

I think you can only have multiple egg releases in a 24 hour period? I assume that’s how twins come about now I think on it. It’s normal to have like an LH surge but it’s not strong enough and so it gears up again and ovulation happens the next time but I would expect you to have drop offs on your OPKs.

Also not sure what’s going on with me, I was googling 2dpo symptoms this morning because my boobs were so sore running and then tonight they’re still a bit achey but I’m literally sat in bed with such bad cramps and like CM flowing I honestly feel like I’m on my period. I swear my body is playing with the progesterone as it knows I’m getting tested on Monday so is trying to act like it’s not been messing me around 😂

Oh jeez @LS2020 🤭
It is a thought isn't it!? Desperate for a baby but gimme more than one at a time and I'll freak...out. Ha!
I'm due twins in my generation too - and sissy's definitely only got one bubba cooking so she's dodged the bullet once already 🤣
Can that happen? Could I ovulate proper eggs multiple times on different days??

There’s a story for you 😂

@Ughmaybenot yeah my RHR has plummeted after O so I’ve just given up with that this month too! Yeah I’m with you on that, over the heartache this month, especially if feeling sorry for myself with blood tests.

@mrswilso yeah guess if it’s been consistent to what you’ve had recently no reason to suspect otherwise, is very strange to have the constant peaks though, unless your body is firing eggs like a machine gun 🤣

@LS2020 I'm pretty sure it was AF - although she's definitely been lighter than I remember from before birth control but I'm not worrying much about that right now as my wee sissy's are pretty similar in length and flow and she's gotten pregnant with no problems...I'll maybe hold out until the weekend and do a FRER if I'm still getting high readings. Definitely considering getting the GP to look into my levels if I don't have any luck this cycle though...

@LS2020 sort of? It seems more variable this month for some reason. I think I’m going to wait, see what happens in a week and then test maybe. Can’t deal with the bloody disappointment

@mrswilso I honestly think my cheapies were faulty or something because I don’t think I’ve ever got anything positive on them so yeah maybe try a FRER tho I am sure I read that a HPT is more sensitive than an OPK so weird you’ve not had a positive. Did you have a full AF?

@Ughmaybenot haha I do not! Oh that’s good you got a high temp, has it stayed up?
Are you going to test or just see if AF turns up at “normal” time?

I don’t think we ever learn @LS2020 😂
Nothing to report here, I never did get a peak on the OPKs but I did have the increase in temp so now we wait! Based on an ‘average’ (ha) cycle, I think I have maybe 5/6 days to wait. Maybe?

@ls2020 I've done a couple but not a FRER yet...definitely considering it now though...I highly doubt it's pregnancy...I don't really have any other symptoms that I've noticed!

Done*

@mrswilso have you dont another HPT just to double check?
But oh my gosh you must be knackered!! Might be worth a call to GP to see if can do bloods?

Lmfao @LS2020 😂
I don't have a clue wtf is going on with me right now either...have had peak OPKs everyday since CD5...I'm CD11 today and exhausted already with all the DTD 😭
Worrying a bit about the high levels for such a long time but I'll not stress myself out until next cycle about it.

I need mental help.. cycle 13 and I’m googling 2dpo symptoms 🤣🤣 have I not learn my lesson the other 12 months haha

@mrswilso I got back and forth on it too! I just don’t get up that regularly and feel it’s something else to just obsess over it not doing the right thing?!

@Ughmaybenot yeah I wouldn’t overly worry if you’ve done every other day, you’ve deffo done all you can and also glad to hear you’re still going out and having fun! That’s why I’ve swapped to doing in my TWW because otherwise the only time you can have a drink is AF and that’s no fun!
I’m hoping as we haven’t been able to DTD much this cycle with OH bad back, I’ll be a bit chiller as not likely happened so can’t be as upset about it 🤞🏻

@mrswilso aw thanks lovely. Honestly it got me to start with but I’m feeling okay now. She’ll be a fantastic mum and I am happy for them... I just had a bit of a cry to poor DH at the time 😂 very strange feeling tho, for sure.

@LS2020 to be fair, I might have been, my sleep can be a bit all over the place, and I know I haven’t been quite as regimented in taking my temperature at exactly the same time on waking up etc so maybe it’s user error 😂 I think EWCM probably is the best and easiest way really.
Ha! Knackering is right 😂 we only missed one day and that’s because I got drunkkkk at a bbq 😬 I said to DH on the way over, oh I deserve a drink or two... I did not deserve that much beer, that’s for sure 😂 he mocked me all the next day!
