@Ladylou17 @Mama500 @FlyOnTheWall89 @Lucyasc @FlipperyGibbet

Just started this new thread because ours is full. Hope the name change isn't confusing 😂 Tagging you too @rita83 if you ever pop back in to say hi! Have I missed anyone? I'm so rubbish with my memory 🤦🏼‍♀️ x

Thanks so much @Ladylou17 @Cruz86 @Lucyasc Flowers
Going to try and hold out to 11 or 12DPO to test. It's so hard waiting though! Is anyone else due to test soon?

@Mama500 keeping everything crossed for you, must be so tough waiting. Sending hugs! xx

Ladylou17 · 22/02/2022 11:26

@Janey3090 glad to hear the cyst hasn't grown. Crossing everything for you this month xx

Ladylou17 · 22/02/2022 11:25

@Mama500 I can imagine it's 2 weeks of torture waiting. Did they do any bloods? Is the spotting minimal? Sending a big hug I'm sure all is well they are just getting nice and comfy in there 😘 xx

I can't imagine going through it again @Mama500 😞 That doesn't seem like too much of a disparity between what you think and what they've measured. And it's such early days so it's much harder to get accurate measures at this point isn't it. When's your follow up scan?

@Janey3090 glad to hear your cyst isn't causing any issues and that you are ovulating! Are you going to test in a couple of days? X

Lucyasc · 22/02/2022 08:47

@Mama500 hope you're doing ok, have you spoken to your GP? X
@Janey3090 sorry to hear about the cyst but that's great news you've been ovulating you must feel so relieved! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻
Thank you everyone for your advice really appreciate it 😊 xx

Janey3090 · 22/02/2022 08:26

Morning ladies! Thanks for checking in. Had my scan yesterday afternoon - sadly the cyst is still there but hasn't grown at all so that's good. As it's a simple cyst they are quite hopeful it will resolve, so I'll wait for my NHS scan in May.

I've been struggling with anovulatory cycles, but have been pretty sure I have ovulated the last couple of months. The Dr yesterday managed to see a corpus luteum in my good ovary which confirms that I did ovulate this month! 7DPO now based on my OPK. Feeling quite sick and tired but could be pre-period symptoms, who knows!

Either way I'm so happy as it has confirmed I am ovulating, so there is a chance I could get pregnant soon Smile x

Mama500 · 22/02/2022 08:26

@Cruz86 yes I’ve been here before so I’m trying to handle it a lot better than I did the first time!

Between 5 and 5 and a half and my tracker makes me 6 tomorrow.

They were hopeful…

Oh I'm so sorry you're going through this @Mama500. Those 2 weeks are absolute torture aren't they. What are you supposed to be and what have they measured you at? X

OP posts:
Mama500 · 22/02/2022 08:13

Thanks everyone! I spotted with my mmc and with my ds so I’m not sure

Had a scan yesterday and measuring a bit behind so just sack and yolk sack so I’ve just got to stay hopeful and wait for another scan in 2 weeks.

Feeling sick so that’s positive lol

Yeah I'd say if you can, start doing 2 tests a day from cd10 at the earliest @Lucyasc ☺️

Apparently I'm 7dpo @FlyOnTheWall89 but I'm not convinced I've ovulated this month. My temps are all over the place 😩 good luck with your consultation!

Oh no @Mama500! How are you doing? Have you spoken to your gp or anything yet? X

OP posts:
Ladylou17 · 22/02/2022 07:54

@Lucyasc the easy at home work fine with pre mom that's what I use. Don't take one first thing in the morning wait till after 11am and again in the evening.
Thanks @Mama500 how are you doing? I think a little bit of spotting can be common so try not to worry. I know that's easy enough to say! If it's quite a bit maybe ask your gp if they'll give you progesterone?xx

FlyOnTheWall89 · 22/02/2022 07:36

Hi @Mama500 how are you feeling? What is your instinct? Keeping everything crossed for you? Such a scary time when that happens.

Mama500 · 22/02/2022 07:24

Sorry @Lucyasc I’m awful at tagging! How are you?

Mama500 · 22/02/2022 07:23

Morning ladies

Sorry I went quiet having a bit of spotting so I’m a bit all over the place

@Ladylou17 gutted for you I’m so sorry I definitely think you should make an appointment with your GP.

@Cruz86 @Janey3090 how are you ladies

@FlyOnTheWall89 amazing news about your appointment- good luck!

FlyOnTheWall89 · 22/02/2022 06:03

@Ladylou17 oh sorry hun. Definitely have a few glasses of something.

@Lucyasc I'm day 5 too! I think for a 29 day cycle, you're more likely to ovulate around 14/15. When I have 29 days, I get a day 14 positive.

@Cruz86 how many DPO are you now?

I'll update you once I've spoken to the hospital. X

Lucyasc · 22/02/2022 00:09

@Cruz86 I'd estimate around day 12-15 in my cycle but then I'm not too sure as I've never used OPKs before so that's just an estimate based on symptoms and the tracking apps! The last year they have been an average of 29 days xx

Cruz86 · 21/02/2022 23:28

Ah okay, still early then @Lucyasc! When do you think you normally ovulate and how long are your cycles usually? X

OP posts:
Lucyasc · 21/02/2022 23:08

Only day 5 at the moment I thought my AF was over but seems today is the last day but I tested today just to make sure I was doing it right lol. I'm really worried we are going to miss out this month my H2B is going on his Stag Do Thurs-Sun this week although both my tracking apps predict 2nd/3rd march as ovulation day I'm still worried probably for no reason haha x

Hi @Lucyasc. What cycle day are you on? I'd probably test twice a day so you don't miss your peak x

OP posts:
Lucyasc · 21/02/2022 21:37

Hope everyone is doing ok?? @FlyOnTheWall89 my fingers are crossed for you! I've just started doing OPK's any advice? Using the premom app and the tests that go alongside the app easy at home I think? X

Oh man, I'm so sorry @Ladylou17 😩 I've had a few drinks this cycle and I actually felt quite relaxed about it, so I hope you can do the same and just try to have a bit of fun xx

@Cruz86

Ah got it. He certainly wouldn't need to be part of a gynaecology appointment *@FlyOnTheWall89* 🤣 It's great that they've bought it forward because you can confirm everything is okay with you now and get advice on what to do next! It would've been terrible to wait until July for that. Let us know how you get on x
AF has arrived bang on time so here's to next month. No temping and just seeing how we go and relax a little maybe a Prosecco or 2 with zero guilt ha!. @Cruz86 and @Janey3090 crossing my fingers for you this month xx
