I’ve had a positive OPK’s for 3days and lots of EWCM, but no temp rise. What is going on?

@xoJellyBean your temps look ok to me

SarahTTC2020 · 25/09/2020 19:10

@xoJellyBean I've never temped so I'm.not really sure how they're supposed to look I'm afraid!

xoJellyBean · 25/09/2020 18:51

Girls... first month back at temping. Is this bizarre looking to yous?🙃🤯

@duckii it's a horrible feeling isn't it. I got to day 52 last cycle before AF, think I just didn't ovulate.
Then I think my current cycle will be much shorter, as I got my peak on cd14 with ewcm , so I'm now 10dpo ... Got an absolute squinter on an IC today not even sure if I was imagining it so might cave and do a frer in the morning

duckii · 25/09/2020 10:35

I'm the same as you @Suki2020 cd46, no sign or feeling of AF coming. I think @Newbie0818 may right but I have ran out of ovulation sticks so not sure if I'm ovulating again.

SarahTTC2020 · 24/09/2020 10:59

@Suki2020 hopefully you're having a another go at ov 🤞

I'm 9dpo and I couldn't help but pee on an IC 🤣 it's says it's 10ui but I'm not convinced. I thought I could spy the faintest of lines but I think it's wishful thinking and my brain tricking me because it knows where the line would be 😆 Still, only having the one coffee today just in case.
I've booked in for Day 21 bloods tomorrow so 🤞 DH hasn't had any letter or anything about his SA

Newbie0818 · 24/09/2020 06:40

@Suki2020 oh that's good, probably your body tried to ovulate and failed earlier, let's hope this is it 🤞🏼 x

Suki2020 · 23/09/2020 20:22

@Newbie0818 I’ve had EWCM for last 3days now but had it earlier in the month too.

Newbie0818 · 23/09/2020 17:51

@Suki2020 that would be nice, and a twist if fate haha!
Oh dear, well hopefully now you've had your darker opk's you'll only have a few more weeks to wait. So frustrating though. Do you have any other signs of ov?

Suki2020 · 22/09/2020 22:11

@Newbie0818 I’m on cd46 😩 so definitely a long cycle for some reason. I may just happen naturally now for you that things are in motion with the fertility clinic.

doublecheeseburgermediumfries · 22/09/2020 21:43

@xoJellyBean Chances are my period will have ended by the time I get a GP appointment🤪
I'm not in any pain and it seems to be easing off so fingers crossed there's light at the end of the tunnel!

Flo thinks I will ovulate on Thursday so took a clear blue ovulation test tonight and got a big fat circle. Last cycle I got my first flashy smiley on cycle day 15 but never reached my peak. Not sure if with today being cycle day 19 I've missed it. Who knows 😂😂

Newbie0818 · 22/09/2020 20:12

@Suki2020 it looks like you might be ovulating based on those, what cd are you again?
Nothing different for me, just eating healthily. Tbh I've given up on the hope of conceiving naturally so I'm just pinning everything on what the doctors suggest now :/

Suki2020 · 22/09/2020 17:43

@Newbie0818 at least things are starting to move now, hopefully it moves quite quickly. So I’ve done more OPK’s today and it says I’m at my peak so I think I’m ovulating late this month. Guess I’ll just have to wait and see what happens over the next few days. Are you doing anything different this cycle?

Has anyone noticed their cycles shortening after a MC? I usually don't ovulate until at least CD20 (and usually more like CD30) but it's CD16 and my temp has dipped and OPKs are coming up high but not peaking. I'm praying it is a short cycle this month because I really just want to feel like I'm moving forward with things.

Newbie0818 · 22/09/2020 07:04

@Suki2020 no just an initial consultation, but I figure the next steps after that will be SA and scans for me etc. Just hoping Covid doesn't get in the way! It's good to feel proactive. Sorry about bfn :(
Work is stressful as I seem to be doing double the amount of work since some kids are sheilding/ going home with symptoms, but trying to stay zen. How are you feeling?

xoJellyBean · 22/09/2020 06:58

@doublecheeseburgermediumfries can you go to a gp about this? I think a period longer than a week is abnormal? My sister bled for 3 weeks at one point, I'll ask her today what she did as I know she def went to her gp x

Hello, I've posted here a couple of times before and I am so confused 🙃

After my 52 day cycle I finally got my period! 19 days later I am still going 😊😊 first two weeks were very light and spent the last week very heavy.

Someone suggested that I take a pregnancy test and I am definitely not pregnant/have been pregnant so it's not that! I'm just having this crazy mad cycle!!

Funny thing is, I've been keeping flo updated and it's still saying I should to ovulate on Thursday. I've not done any OPKs because I'm bleeding but the apps I use aren't recalculating the ovulation period.

Shall I start OPKing and see if I do get my smiley or do you think this should be a right off and just wait this out?

Suki2020 · 21/09/2020 18:43

@Pol96 the only difference was I spent a week in bed on my own at night as my OH was away.

Pol96 · 21/09/2020 15:29

@Suki2020 it's so hard to judge other peoples cycles as you don't really know their "normal" for reference I've attached a opk and hcg I did at the same time to show that opks go positive when pregnant (about 6 or 7 weeks for those photos I think) .. Hopefully as you're getting a line on the opk it does mean bfp but the problem with long cycles is it could also mean your body is trying to ovulate again.. Your temperature is rather confusing though as it has definitely dipped and then shot back up.. Did you do anything differently for the lower Temps?

Suki2020 · 21/09/2020 13:33

@Pol96 I don’t have any more pg tests in the house, so I will order some tonight. I have been doing OPKs again last few days though to see. What do you think, I’ve not ovulated even though app says I have?

Long Cycle girls TTC #2
Pol96 · 21/09/2020 11:51

@Suki2020 it may be worth taking another pg test so you can rule it out (or hopefully get your bfp) the dip could be to do with environmental factors (window open, different sleep etc) or it could be an implantation dip..

Suki2020 · 21/09/2020 11:42

@SarabiMufasa I agree, but no sign of it at all. I have no idea what my body is doing this cycle. I’ve not taken anything different either so really strange. My temp has dropped a little today too.

SarabiMufasa · 21/09/2020 11:09

@Suki2020 It's funny how your graph has gone under the coverline and then suddenly goes up. I would have thought under the coverline meant period will arrive soon.

Suki2020 · 21/09/2020 08:17

@Newbie0818 is that your fertility investigation apt at the hospital? I had my fertility apt last week and they now want to do even more bloods as my ultrasound scan came back normal and semen test on OH. It’s nice to feel something starting to happen at long last isn’t it. I took a pg test 5days ago and it was negative. How are you finding being back at work now?
