OVUSENSE (ovucore) thread 2

@theblueflowers thanks! Not sure I had the sensor in quite right, I felt really aware of it. TMI pushed it as far as I could but it still felt strange. Hoping I get used to it.

First temp recording this morning of 35.95. Is that a bit low?

@Loz365 im sorry it seems to be on the way out for you. Fingers crossed for the letrozole next month. I haven’t been able to take the inositol since mid April because I had surgery and it turned into a 116 day cycle! So hoping that now im back to taking it, my cycles will get shorter again.

Temp has dropped even further, got my usual cramps and spotting is turning heavier so I'm definitely out 😔
I was so hopeful this month! Onto the next cycle and a higher dose of letrozole, hopefully that will get me ovulating earlier than CD27!

Fingers crossed it stays away for you, @Loz365 that dip is nowhere near the cover line!

@TheIsaacs welcome! Hope you got on okay with your first night! I find that once it's in I don't notice it at all!

So I'm 12/13dpo. I ended up testing with a cheapie yesterday and it was a BFN. I'm also getting some cramps which means AF is on the way.

So af still hasn't arrived, got a little bit more brown-ish discharge (apologises tmi) but seems to have stopped 🤞🤞🤞

@LuckyMoonstone that looks great! Hopefully your temp keeps rising now!

@TheIsaacs Ah okay, I've heard a few people that stopped metformin because of nasty side effects. Have the supplements made any difference to your cycle lengths?
I just wash mine in hot water. I've had issues with thrush in the past so reluctant to use any soap on it just in case!

@Loz365 I take a hefty multivitamin every day that has high dose vit D and Folic Acid, and then I also take myo-inositol. I wasn’t able to tolerate metformin unfortunately.

My sensor arrived this morning. It’s bigger than I anticipated! What do you all sues to keep your ovucore clean?

2dpo now, temp is rising 😁 last time it went up over 4 or 5 days, so another rise or 2 then ovusense should figure out where to put ovulation (should be Thursday but it might say Friday)

My temp dipped this morning 😭 still decided to test anyway with an Internet cheapie and it was a BFN. Also had the tiniest bit of pinky/brown discharge so think I'm out...
Trying to cling onto the thought it might be implantation but also being realistic!

Thanks for all the positivity though girls! X

@Loz365 your chart is looking beautiful 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@TheIsaacs gosh that sounds like such a tough journey! Are you taking any supplements or medications currently?
I have PCOS as well so totally empathise with the irregular cycles and not knowing what's going on. I've really liked using OvuSense so far! Just hoping it'll result in a bfp!

@Peonies94 when did you get your first bfp? Trying to talk myself out of testing tomorrow and holding out until Sunday which will be 10dpo...

Thanks for the welcome.

@Loz365 we had fertility testing in summer 2016 but my bmi has always been high because of the PCOS, so I wasn’t eligible for any treatment. No investigations for the miscarriages. I see a consultant for my PCOS and I’m hoping that the ovucore will help me prove to them that I’m not ovulating regularly.

@Peonies94 8DPO today! And this is my chart this morning.
Last month I had a dip at 5DPO and then it dropped right down at 9DPO just before af arrived. So if it stays up tomorrow I think I'll test Sunday 🙏🏻

@TheIsaacs of course! Welcome! 👋🏼
So sorry to hear you've had such a tough time TTC. I'm guessing you've had all the fertility tests done? Have you had investigations for the miscarriages?

@Peonies94 hopefully once you have the scan next week it'll start to move a bit quicker! It definitely feels like you got your bfp ages ago!!
Would you mind posting your chart again? I know everyone is different but I like looking at the bfp charts and convincing myself I have a chance 😅😅

Hi everyone. Please May I join in? Ordered my ovucore this week, hoping it arrives tomorrow or Saturday!

We’ve been TTC since Jan 2015 and only ever had miscarriages. I have PCOS and really long cycles and I’m fed up of all the guess work! Times really ticking for us now and so I’ve bitten the bullet and thought I’d try something maybe more reliable than opk’s!

@Peonies94 oh I really hope this month is our month 🤞🤞
That's so frustrating about the scan! Bloody Covid!! Glad you're feeling a little bit better, keep taking it easy, I found the fatigue lasted a good few weeks.

Have you got the date for 12 week scan? And have you had your midwife appt yet? X

So I think my temps have levelled out, 7DPO today. Period due Saturday/Sunday so going to aim to hold out until Sunday to test which will be 10DPO if af hasn't arrived by then!

@MO22 did you test this morning?

@theblueflowers you're not out until af arrives!

@LuckyMoonstone yay for early ovulation! Love that CD18 is early for most of us 🤣🤣 and sounds like you're well covered with DTD!

I'm convinced one of us must get a positive this month!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@Peonies94 how are you doing? Have you recovered from Covid or still not feeling well? And when is your scan! X

@MO22 DTD yesterday and day before, might convince DH to have one last go later 😂

@theblueflowers OPK down to 0.44 now so yesterday evening was officially my peak! And on CD18 as well, which is amazing for me! God this time last month I still had 2 whole weeks to wait until O 😅
temp not up yet this morning but last time it didn’t go up until 2 days after positive OPK so should be tomorrow

Morning all

@LuckyMoonstone great to see a positive okp! And no frustration with waiting around for it to happen this time!

@MO22 hope temp was good this morning 🤞🏻 have the best time at glasto

I had quite a significant drop in my temps today, so I'm sure I'm out. Going to just wait for AF to come which should be Monday. Having a mope today and then hopefully I can pick myself up.

DH is recovering from covid, but I've read so many things about it affecting male fertility for 3-4 months, so I need to accept that this is not going to happen for a while potentially.
