OVUSENSE (ovucore) thread 2

@Loz365 I don't know if it was Covid or the vaccine but it deffo messed things up for me! I had 9 day LP After it and spotting around ovulation which I'd never ever had previously!

I just keep googling everything! I wish I'd never had hcg levels checked as it's only caused stress, the levels are really high! But rising so slowly I don't think it's good, the worst part is my midwife apt is wdnesay, so I have to go to that knowing all may not be okay x

Morning everyone!

Sorry everyone has had a bit of a low weekend and @Moosh18 I can only imagine what you're going through. So tough having to wait until Thursday, thinking of you 💐

Af seems to be on her way out already which is really odd. Usually lasts at least 4/5 days and is fairly heavy for 3 of those days. Today is day 3 and pretty much stopped... Wondering if it's Covid that's messed it up!

Sorry ladies been quiet, just trying to deal with things day by day.... I hope you are all doing well, I'm sorry to those who are havjng a tough time, this whole pregnancy / ttc journey is one of the hardest things I've been through and my heart feels for everyone of us!

I won't have any answers until my scan on Thursday, although I feel like I know what the outcome is going to be, I'd just rather miscarry naturally, I really don't want to have to induce it.... maybe miracles will happen x

@MO22 very sad, but I'm here for you! 🙂
Hope they start playing ball too, OH is away Fri & Sat next week so I really want to ovulate before then... but we will see.

Thinking of doing the same - off for a shower and bed, going to go into work tomorrow rather than working at home to keep my mind busy x

@RMS0209 it's sad we have the same journey but hopefully there's something good waiting for us just round the corner! Hoping your OPK starts playing ball this eve too. 🤞🏼

I think I may just go to bed and hope tomorrow I feel a bit better!

@Loz365 sorry I missed your message... 17months is a long time, sending you a big hug again!
This is my send attempt at TTC #1... cycle 6 ☹️😕 I know it's still "early" but feels like so long.... I feel very silly saying this compared to what you've been through x

@MO22
oh no.... I am sending you big hugs
(think all of us have had a cry this weekend on this thread 😢)
thinking of you.... it will be our turn soon, promise 💗🤞🏻

So sorry about the spotting!
I should have been due next month too, so we can support each other... I'm terrified for it already.

Hope I get a peak soon too... will do an OPK just before bed and see how it looks. X

Thanks for the nice messages, just had a cry after friends left, they bought their gorgeous 6 month old and it was lovely... But tough.

I think I've started spotting very lightly so I guess that's that. Just reading all your messages @RMS0209 @Loz365 and feeling the same and very sad. Don't know why it has to be so hard but I guess that's life and just can't control it.

Hopefully I'll come on tomorrow and then buck myself up... I so wished to be pregnant for my due date next month but unfortunately it's not possible now. Maybe it will get a bit easier once I'm post that, I don't know.

Hope everyone is doing ok and a hand hold. Not sure if being on Mumsnet is making it better or worse, but everyone is really kind which is nice when you're feeling so down. ❤️

I hope you get your peak soon @RMS0209 !

How you feeling @Peonies94 , any symptoms? X

@RMS0209 yep TTC #1, never been pregnant, now in month 17 of trying... I've never wanted something so desperately! Remind me how long you've been trying?

I'm under NHS infertility clinic and they want me to start letrozole 5mg this cycle to try and regulate my cycles and improve egg quality/make sure I ovulate as they're not sure i'm ovulating every month. So I take my first tablet tonight! Then ultrasound scan on day 11-14 to check for ovulation and day 21 progesterone blood test to confirm. If I haven't responded they'll increase the dose next cycle. So really hoping I'll go back to 28 day cycles regularly with confirmed ovulation and a longer LP! X

@Loz365
it is, that's what I say to my partner I like having this to talk to others who understand how it feels, just beginning to feel deflated now... that's half a year down the drain 😢
Remind me... are you TTC #1 aswell? Not that it matters just wondering!

I have done an OPK the easy @ home and I got two readings 0.54 and 0.62 so I'm glad it's not just.. 0.08 or something then I'd be super stressed!
What is your plan for new cycle? X

@RMS0209 thank you 💐 it's so nice to have found other people that really understand what it's like.

With those cycle lengths surely you'll ovulate soon! Stay positive, it'll happen for you!! X

Sorry to hear about the cry - but feel you.
Here for you 💗 @Loz365

My cycles the last few have been - 29,29,33,31 & 37
Why is nothing easy.. currently CD17 with no sign of a peak yet! X

@MO22 sorry to hear about the bfn. Definitely enjoy a few glasses today! It you're not out until af arrives

I had a bit of cry yesterday evening and felt much better afterwards. This whole thing can be so crappy at times.

@RMS0209 sorry you still haven't had any signs of ovulation. Hopefully it won't be too much longer for you! How irregular are you cycles? X

@MO22 so sorry you are in limbo. I'm in the 'drink till it's pink' camp, so absolutely enjoy a few drinks with friends this afternoon.

@MO22 sending big hugs, please have a LARGE wine.

Yes 11dpo is still early this is just horrid ugh x

What is my body playing at now adays , hate this 😟😕😫 cycle day 17... still no sign of ovulation or peak on opks x

Morning!

I caved and did a clear blue ultra detection with FMU and saw the fun words "not pregnant" there... Naturally a bit of a blow but having people over for lunch and wanted a wine or two.

I'm 11 DPO, is there any chance I might still go on to get a BFP or is it just wistful thinking?

Last time I got the squintiest of lines on a Tesco test at 13 DPO, so I'm guessing I'm probably am out right?

Small drop in chart too much nothing major but maybe the start of a drop to AF 😔

@Loz365 absolutely do it, treat yourself. My doc last week said 5 units a week ok and no more than 2 in one sitting. So that's 2 small glasses of wine in one sitting, twice a week, I'll take that!

I've gone a bit mad. Debating Amazon priming a FRER for tomorrow (will be 11 DPO)...

All I've got is CB Ultra early digital which I don't think are as sensitive.

Part of me also wants to just ignore it, but if I'm going to test early, it might as well be a frer.

I feel like I just need to know now as I've driving myself absolutely barmy at this point 😣 this is very difficult.

I'm rewarding myself with alcohol this weekend! I've always said I'll try not to drink while TTC and my small positive when af arrives is over-indulging for a few days 😂

@MO22 I had exactly the same dilemma! I'm still not sure if it was better that af arrived rather than getting a negative test... my periods are pretty sh*tty so I feel like a negative test before gives me chance to prepare. But then I got too scared to test and af arrived 🙄 your chart is still looking good though! X

@Peonies94 honestly that was exactly how I felt for a lot of the early weeks of pregnancy, lots of twinges and period like cramps. All normal. Like @RMS0209 says, enjoy it ❤️ (well not the cramps bit lol)

I'm realllllly trying to keep my cool at the moment but struggling. I don't know whether to do a test to just have an answer and get through the disappointment earlier, or whether to only test if I don't start spotting tomorrow. So hard!
