Period arrived yesterday felt a bit deflated to be honest but I'm ok now, onto the next cycle! How are you? X

Ladylou17 · 10/08/2022 08:34

How you getting on @Lucyasc x

Lucyasc · 09/08/2022 07:46

Think I'm giving up hope for this month now my temp has dropped again today and another BFN 😔 still no signs of AF and I'm about 2 or 3 days late. What a weird month this has been!

Lucyasc · 08/08/2022 13:53

@FlyOnTheWall89 before today FF said I ov'd on CD23 which would be that date but some days I put my temp in and it switches back to CD19 so no idea what dpo I am tbh lol. It is a head fuck I agree!

FlyOnTheWall89 · 08/08/2022 13:46

@Lucyasc any chance you could have ovulated on the 29th when you got nearly a 0.4 rise? That would make you 10 days today in this phase. Keeping everything crossed for you. Longer cycles are a head fuck.

Lucyasc · 08/08/2022 13:14

@FlyOnTheWall89 usually I have a 10 day luteal phase don't think it's ever been longer than that I thought the chart was right as you say I had a big temp dip before ovulation. The temp dip I had today was only slight and not below luteal line I've had dips that have been lower so not too sure I guess I'll just wait and see. Keep feeling like I've started AF a few times today but nothing! Don't wanna get my hopes up!

Ladylou17 · 08/08/2022 12:07

@Lucyasc have you looked into having a hycosy?xx

Ladylou17 · 08/08/2022 12:05

@Lucyasc i think you likely did ovulate when ff is saying you had a temp dip before ovulation too which is common I always got that. 14dpo now your temp is a bit lower today so might mean AF is on the way maybe tomorrow. 14 day luteal phase is nice and normal so that’s good.
@Cruz86 im slowly starting to feel better now week 14 has come around 😊 then the panic sets in is everything ok cause you’re feeling better I don’t think the worry ever ends does it xx

FlyOnTheWall89 · 08/08/2022 11:25

@Lucyasc hmmmm tricky one because that very low temperature is a bit of a odd one. I think you've covered your days dtd wise combined with your CM input, but hard to know exactly when you ovulated. How long is your luteal phase normally? Maybe you should test again? I think if the current chart is accurate, you'd get a fairly conclusive -/+ result. You may just be having a blip cycle in terms of length, I understand that is soooo annoying when you so badly want to be pregnant. I would really stay away from testing as early as 8/9DPO. I found those early weeks excruciating - time slowed down so much and ultimately, you're quite likely to get a negative / a real squinted at that point, even if you are pregnant so I feel it just plays with your head and emotions. Let me know how you get on.

Lucyasc · 08/08/2022 10:14

Morning all, my cycle seems to be going on forever I'm usually very regular 28 or 29 days but I'm on CD 33 no sign of period and 2 negative tests on 8 and 9 DPO.

FF has changed my estimated Ov day a few times when I put my temps in so I'm not sure whats happening! Any ideas or advice? Thanks ladies xx

Lucyasc · 05/08/2022 14:50

@FlyOnTheWall89 Yeah it was internal but they did some external too, thanks for your help! Feeling so relieved 😌 xx

FlyOnTheWall89 · 05/08/2022 14:29

@Lucyasc it was an internal one wasn't it? If so I think they check for fibroids / polys, look at your ovaries and their shape and your uterus. All normal sounds good to me! X

Lucyasc · 05/08/2022 12:54

Just had doctors contact me saying my scan results were normal and nothing to be investigated from that so I guess thats good?! I'm not sure what that rules out but I think I can eliminate worries of PCOS? Hope everyone is having a good Friday! X

Lucyasc · 04/08/2022 12:00

@Cruz86 my chart confirmed now I've ovulated on 29th if I remember right lol I'm ill at the moment so my temps for the last 2 days could be a bit off but I havent got a temperature. I've put my chart below if you can make any sense of it I'm still learning haha. Hope you're doing ok xx

Oops posted too soon!! @Ladylou17 sorry you're struggling with sickness so much, what a nightmare 😩 I spent the majority of the first trimester in bed but it's so much better now!

And @FlyOnTheWall89 hope you're having a lovely time away.

Xx

Cruz86 · 04/08/2022 11:45

How are your temps looking now @Lucyasc? It could be that your body geared up to ovulate but then didn't. I'd question (depending on how the temps are now) whether you ovulated more around the 29th/30th?

@FlyOnTheWall89 some of my symptoms eased off around the 9 week mark and then my nausea was on and off from about the 11-16 week mark. So it sounds like you're going through similar!

Glad your scan went well @Ladylou17

Ladylou17 · 02/08/2022 05:20

@FlyOnTheWall89 thank you. I was 13 weeks too I think as long as it’s before 14 weeks if you’re having the NT test is fine. I definitely know how you feel I have to rest my body or I feel awful bed is my main residence at home 😂😂 Hope you’re having a better day today. I managed to pull my intercostal muscle being sick so much and it’s so sore at night time. Hoping it goes soon xx

FlyOnTheWall89 · 01/08/2022 19:25

@Ladylou17 great news about your scan 🥰. We are away for a while so it's actually more like a 13 week scan. It's 2 weeks today. Feeling a bit rough again today 😢. I think I over-did it yesterday and now I'm paying the price. X

Ladylou17 · 01/08/2022 19:12

@Lucyasc looks right to me, fingers crossed for you this month lovely. Scan was fine baby measuring perfectly and wiggling around. @FlyOnTheWall89 when is your 12 week scan?xx

FlyOnTheWall89 · 31/07/2022 16:56

@Lucyasc yes I think it's there or there abouts. Definitely shows ovulation has occurred so just make sure you're DTD but don't get too caught up in specifics.

Maybe the person doing the scan wasn't confident - there should be able to see dominant follicle or evidence you've already ovulated on a scan. I've been told that before when I was having scans about things not relevant to fertility.

Feeling so much more human than earlier this week. Keeping my fingers crossed everything is still okay and it's just the placenta taking over. 🤞🏻

Lucyasc · 31/07/2022 16:46

@Ladylou17 let us know how your scan goes tomorrow!

I thought it was weird when she said that I know someone who had a scan (albeit a private scan) and they could see her egg waiting to be released and showed her! The lady who did my scan said they weren't that helpful in diagnosing anything for fertility 🤔🤔🤥 unless it's something major.

I've had ovulation confirmed on fertility friend does this look about right? Not sure why I had positive OPKs after ovulation!

Ladylou17 · 30/07/2022 08:57

I’m good thank you @Cruz86 13 weeks on Sunday have my scan on Monday which I’m excited/anxious about. Morning sickness still lingering around but definitely not as bad as it’s been. Hope you are all ok?
@Lucyasc thats weird I had my follicles checked and they could see mature and after ovulation. It’s a lot isn’t it give yourself till next month to do bloods 😘 was all ok with scan otherwise?xx

FlyOnTheWall89 · 30/07/2022 08:05

@Cruz86 all fine at the moment! I'm 10+6 and I feel my nausea eased yesterday and I feel okay so far today. Does this sound okay?

Hope everyone else is okay! X

Lucyasc · 29/07/2022 22:50

@Cruz86 hey how are you? I've not tested today except temps this morning as just not found the time but I had a lighter OPK yesterday but my temp doesn't seem to be going up as quickly as I hoped so I'm getting a bit worried! I had a scan today too I was hoping they'd be able to tell me if they could see an egg or tell if I've ovulated but she said this isn't possible? My bloods I'm moving till next cycle its all been a bit much this week! X

Hi everyone, how are you all? I haven't been on here in soooo long. I got an email from Mumsnet to say I'd been inactive 🤦🏼‍♀️ How are your pregnancies coming along @Ladylou17, @FlyOnTheWall89, @Mama500 and @Janey3090? I'm 26 weeks today but feel like time has slowed down a bit 😂 @FlyOnTheWall89 how are you doing with the haematoma?

@Lucyasc how are your opks and temps looking now?
