TTC March / April

@minthumbugs take some time, have a cry if needed then read @kaylsd 's dream diary again for a few giggles! I'm definitely with you though. I'd just like some answers already. It's hard to keep positive with this because it's so protracted and there's so little we can do - no control. But I'm hoping as things open up and the sun comes out that it becomes easier to think about all this less!

Kayls I love your dream stories. You're always so good cheering us up. I really hope that the 37 degrees is a good sign!

My OvuSense is saying I ovulated on CD20 now which doesn't match any of my other signs with the opk or cm or cervix position. All of those suggested earlier, more like CD17 but we shall see. I still don't know if I definitely ovulated really.

Assuming I'll have AF by the weekend!

@minthumbugs I’m so sorry to hear that, some months it hits really hard. At least it’s a new chance to start again, but I realise that is little consolation right now!
Sending virtual hugs

And what do you know I'm back to CD1 again. Some positivity will come back I'm sure but it's hit me hard today Xx

[quote CycloGoose]@kaylsd the docs have no interest in me to be fair. I think I'd need something else to push it further. I'm with you just wanting AF or BFP but we'll get there someday chick! Maybe both of us in August like predicted 🤣 fingers crossed XXX praying for a graduate this month xxx[/quote]
Awww chick least your joining me in the sisterhood of dodgey cycle and up and down charts 😂😂 your not alone with this en sweet I've got your back 🤜

you know like I was saying I have strange dreams I woke up like this morning 😂😂😂🥺 Kayles strange dream chapter 404: I was in China on a game show and I was in a swimsuit for this competition but I had a hairy back (😂😂😂 wth?!) and some girls laughed at me saying why is your back so hairy, I goes it's cause of my PCOS (just to clarify I don't have a hairy back in real life 😂😂😂) and then I had what i thought was dandruff in my hair but really it was cornfalkes?? 👀 so I was pulling them out of my hair

I'm not strange I promise 😂😂 today's chart has gone up again today at 37.0 I haven't the foggiest what's going off but I'm here for the long run ride 🙃

[quote MammaJ21]@kaylsd I don't do not, I see lots of you do, but I feel it would just stress me out looking into all that aswell. Had some cramping...but not sure if ov cramps. I don't usually get them but did have them couple of cycles ago randomly. I thought I had some ewcm a few days ago...but probably sounds silly, but it's hard to tell as next time I checked it wasn't, and I feel it's a bit of interpretation?! 🙈🙈🙈
I've never really looked into cm and the changes etc... either but have tried a bit this cycle.[/quote]
The cervical position I just check around when I get signs of EWCM as it tends to be soft and high up to touch, and in terms of the EWCM TMI but when it's stretchy between to fingers against each other it's like a egg white consistency 🙈 I find it useful to correspond these signs against cramps because chances are if you have all 3 & temperature dip if you track, ovulation is on the way :)

I actually used morning urine then read that I shouldn't ! Maybe it's that
Still veeeeeery faint line.
Feeling disheartened and it's only cycle 2! 🙈

Hi @Veronika13 looks still a bit wet in that pic. Might look darker once it dries a bit. Also, when did you last drink something? Could just be your urine quite diluted xxx

@MammaJ21 hope you get some answers soon. The BD goes on!

Does anyone know why even the first line is soo pale? 😰 these are ovulation stick and looks like ive done it wrong? I've followed the guidelines correctly.

Seeing if anyone can help - this is my first time using ovulation test x

@kaylsd the docs have no interest in me to be fair. I think I'd need something else to push it further. I'm with you just wanting AF or BFP but we'll get there someday chick! Maybe both of us in August like predicted 🤣 fingers crossed XXX praying for a graduate this month xxx

Oh @minthumbugs I so wanted this for you my lovely xxx

Definitely think I'm out now, CM turning more into browny pink the way it usually does before AF. I normally get sore legs at the beginning of each cycle (typically CD1 - been noting it!) And they've hit with a bang tonight. I'm gutted ☹️

@kaylsd I don't do not, I see lots of you do, but I feel it would just stress me out looking into all that aswell. Had some cramping...but not sure if ov cramps.

[quote minthumbugs]@kaylsd haha I hope she doesn't bite me in the front bottom 😂 I don't have much going on tbh. At the weekend had some pain around the right ovary area and a little bit of cramping and today (TMI!) kinda yellow almost brown tinged CM so that's what made me think AF is on the way soon. I quite like my fitbit for tracking sleep! And it also helps me remember to get my water intake 🙈 this is what my RHR looks like just now with the big spike in the middle coming after ovulation! Who knows if there's anything to it, but I suppose it's keeping me going having something to look at after stopping BBT and having no OPKs to pee on, haha! X[/quote]
You never know darling yellow CM could be a sign for you! I'm always trying to be hopeful and positive for the sisterhood of the TTC journey ✨🥰👑 I'm wondering if there's a fob watch version I could use for work, be interesting to see what my data is when I'm out and about :) plus I'll be interesting to see interrupted sleep because I'm a tinker sometimes with my strange dreams to wake up at silly o clock 😂🙈 it would be nice one night to have a full sleep without any strange dreams these days!! I'm hoping it's a sign though for AF around corner because I'm sure there's a link towards strange dreams in the cycle :')

[quote CycloGoose]@Iloveoreos that is peculiar! I wonder whether it might have been the inositol that was working before because you were taking that too, weren't you and then stopped because of pain? I'd definitely call to discuss it with them. What is the worst that can happen from calling?

@kaylsd I feel I'm with you on the hokey cokey this time. Loved the sun and love your jazzzzzz sparkle! Hope our dreams come true for you! Only the good ones though! I've seen so many bees this month but no idea what my cycle is doing though I do seem to have got a bit of a rise now! Books sound great. I haven't had a good read in ages. All I do is read about fertility! It's taken over my life! Need to improve this!

@minthumbugs ooooh that looks very exciting! Love that and I'm super hopeful that the yellow is an early pregnancy sign for you. I had a look at mine but it's fairly constant - maybe because I have low (self diagnosed) progesterone!? I need to drink more!

I have such sore boobs today. Do you know what, I think I'd quite like to be a man sometimes. Their world seems so much simpler! That's my latest OvuSense attached xxx[/quote]
Can you push for investigation following your MC and how long you've been trying darling, as my GP has started investigating me but that's because I gave them reason to with the private scan? Fingers and toes crossed you might be a miracle case you just never know! Has your app said you have ovulated now with the rise or have they said no because of slow rise? I'm sure your right with saying it might be progesterone linked with slow rises? I hope you can get some answers soon though sweetheart if you do choose to do it yourself 🤞🏻❤️ I'm copying you there sugar pie with the boobs, my nipples are that sore and hard (TMI) I actually think I could cut glass 🙃🥺 but I'm hoping it's a positive sign for AF 🤞🏻🤞🏻✨ id like to say BFP but I've got not much hope in it as my cycles been that long I'm unsure if I've been lucky with egg hunting 😂🙈

You are all so clued up on things here -thanks for all of your advice! I think because things went smoothly with my first, I just thought all is ok. Obviously you hear things and know of people, but it's only when you have a MC/problems etc that you start to look more into it and find things out.

Hoping those who are undergoing tests get the answers they need so they can continue their ttc journey.

I just did another opk...haha I know! but only because I'm confussed and just want to know what's going on with my cycle etc
So Saturday I had a very clear positive as shown in pic in previous post...didn't so one yesterday actually. (I'd had positives few days in a row but sats was so clear but also had a positive a few days before then a negative the next day 🤷‍♀️) but I've just done one today assuming it would have gone fainter...but to me looks positive?!It's all so confussing.

@cyclogoose yeah i think u may be right. stopped inositol but then started again few days before progesterone test so maybe thats why cycle got messed up..

Oh well..will have to see and wait.

I've not had it before, no @minthumbugs

I think I'm just going to pay for it myself if I don't miraculously get pregnant this month.

Drs aren't really doing anything for me.

The slow slow rise is not good. Could indicate low ovarian reserve 🤷🏼‍♀️

Oh do you think so @CycloGoose? Will you get your 21 day test next month if you need it? Is that normally a symptom for you? Your chart is looking good now 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Iloveoreos that is peculiar! I wonder whether it might have been the inositol that was working before because you were taking that too, weren't you and then stopped because of pain? I'd definitely call to discuss it with them. What is the worst that can happen from calling?

[quote minthumbugs]@kaylsd that's great that you're getting a rise! Fingers crossed. Lol I usually wear my fitbit everyday so I just checked on that and I'm following the same pattern as last month so far with RHR still rising, I'm finding it quite interesting actually. I stopped charting BBT after I confimed ovulation so just been chilling, haven't tested but I think I may be out today or tomorrow. Oh well we will just have to wait it out I suppose! X

@Sarie24 lucky for some isn't it! woohoo for flashing smiley, good luck for FW. X

I would say very nearly @Iloveoreos, maybe do another one later on today? Or it might be pos tomorrow. X[/quote]
Awww hunny you never know this could be a lucky month for you! Do you have any symptoms bobbing along or do you think AF will come and bite you in the front bottom :( I may invest in a Fitbit or something like that but I've always wondered if I would get much use out of them tbh :') or go a little bit stalker mad tracking my heart rate thinking shall I ring drs 😂🙈 as I've always been quite elevated anyway I think, prob all those wine and cheese nights 🐷
