TTC after MC - June/July 2020 (Part 4)

@Rebecca1992 I've been using One Step and get the control line up within seconds. This looks like a faulty test to me, can you try with another one if you still have the sample?

@MichT4 I found the CP confusing too but I thought if I persisted I'd find some sort of pattern but sounds like another method to put in the trash for now lol
I have a couple of FRERs, I'd ordered them to initially check I got a -ve following the MC but used some cheapies at that point instead. I feel sick with nerves thinking of either a BFP or BFN!!! Convincing myself it'll be a negative so I'm set up mentally for disappointment - much prefer if AF turns up instead

@VP91x maybe I should test again later??

I'm so new to all of this, I haven't a clue 🙈

Ok so I've just done my first OPK after following all the instructions given. Have any of ye experienced a delayed control line or none at all, what does this me?? One Step OPK is the brand

@VP91x that sounds really good then if they are all included. The one thing I might suggest is calling them and making sure there are no hidden costs, because it sounds almost too good to be true!
Just wouldn't want you to pay and get so far, and they then say it's another £1,000 to get the next stuff done xx

@mrsssk yeah I just kept panicking when I did it as I didn’t really know what I was feeling for, and also I’d check in the morning and it was low and a bit harder, then an hour or so later, it’d be impossible to find. So I just resisted this month as I read too much into it.
Ooh exciting, do you have one to hand?

@VP91x I agree with @1990EM, it’s a good investment if you think there is something else going on. I’d definitely do it if we’re having no luck in a couple of months or so

@VP91x I think for £550 it looks like it includes quite a few things. It's near enough impossible getting a blood test form from my GP these days. I think it'd be money well spent if it can help give some answers and your cycles haven't settled still, or even just for some peace of mind that you are ovulating regularly.
Same q as @MichT4 is the second appointment included? And the 5th bullet point under appointment 1 does appear to say semen analysis is included.

@MichT4 I wonder if I'm just confusing myself checking CP as well. If I get AF/BFN I will stop checking it next month if it's not reliable!
I've not had any real symptoms so it's really strange. Feel like I am going to pee more frequently (but could be due to drinking more water in the hot weather) and I feel a bit tired (again, the heat does this to me) so it's not really clear.
I'll hang in for another day and see if AF rears her ugly head, if not then I'll bite the bullet and do a test!

@VP91x that would be a wealth of information to have!! I'd love to know my egg reserve and tube analysis. It could provide either peace of mind or something to work on. A lot of money but we already spend a lot of money on ttc with all of the tests, cups, trackers etc and it could save you months more of those 🙈

@VP91x that looks good to me, and I don't think £550 is too much. Only thing is, is the second appointment included or is that additional?

@mrsssk I hope this is your lucky month. I was tempted to check CP but I decided against it because I’ve read mixed reviews on its accuracy so I didn’t want to stress about it (I know I would). So I wouldn’t go on that, keep your hopes up.
Any other symptoms of AF and/or a possible BFP?

@VP91x I still wonder if you ovulated and this is ovu sporting as you wondered. As I said, I definitely read that temperatures don’t always follow that trend, and @Bertyb7 I have definitely seen examples of a slow rise

@2020wish are you ok today?

@2020wish sorry to hear about the crash, I hope everyone is OK and not too shaken up

@Rebecca1992 that must have been so disheartening to see a negative after a positive, fingers crossed your cycles go back to normal quickly, it sounds like your body may already be trying to ovulate if there is watery CM.

@MichT4 I'm due to test this weekend if AF doesn't show up today. Only a day late today, going by pre MC cycle length and when I got some highs on OPKs. Today I feel like my CP is firmer and lower which is apparently a sign that AF is imminent?? It was definitely harder to find previous days so I'm not hopeful.

@VP91x here is my chart. My temperature rise last month was very obvious, this month it's more creeping up. Hopefully it will increase tomorrow enough for it to confirm that I ovulated when I think I did.

@Rebecca1992 sorry you found yourself here but it is the best source of support. I miscarried at 9weeks in May last month and ovulated about 14 days later and fell pregnant again then without having a period, though that fact has caused me a bit of anxiety! I'm now 6w3days. so it is possible, and that was despite my normal irregular periods. But not guaranteed and as the girls said the opks will give you a good idea. Wishing you all the very best ❤❤❤

@2020wish aw no I'm so sorry!! What a day indeed ☹ this was the last thing you needed right now.. just so glad you're ok and no one was seriously injured, though I'm sure you're in shock and sore regardless. Wish I could send you a tub of ice cream and a big hug. So hard to hear about your cousin too..

@VP91x Bizarrely, I am having the same temp rise problem! LH surge on Monday, usual temp dip before ovulation but although my temp has risen a bit, and gradually since then, it hasn't risen enough for Natural Cycles to confirm ovulation! I think I have ovulated though as have my usual post OV symptoms (sore boobs, sticky CM etc.)

@VP91x The positive excitement was short lived, hoping for this month to even be somewhat normal to track etc.

Yes I bought 12x early OPK strips tests only from Mother&Baby, description said sensitive so once they arrive I will start testing.

I have had some watery clear CM this morning (Sorry if TMI) 🙈 I'm hoping it's a good sign?? After last month I think I'm being hyper aware of every little thing.

Morning all! So CD34 and still no AF. Tested again this morning and still BFN. Looking back at my last 5 cycles and they were either 28, 31 or 32 days. I have been using FRERs. I think I remember reading someone in this group saying they don’t get a response when using a FRER? I haven’t used them before so nothing to compare with. I have one CB digital test so might use that tomorrow if still no AF. X
