@Kitty901 I found this article about different types of LH surges a few weeks ago and it's very interesting
Apparently there are 3 types (and it can vary cycle to cycle)

A short surge
A prolonged surge
A biphasic surge (where it almost peaks then dips then peaks for real)

@Tropicana1 no i don't i never have 🤔 i will keep testing to see, hope i didn't miss it but highly likely

Tropicana1 · 07/06/2022 18:53

@RMS0209 great news!
When do you think you'll pregnancy test this month? You're around 9dpo now is that right?

@Kitty901 might be worth still testing for a few more days in case it was an almost surge that hasn't caused ovulation you might get another full surge in a few days - do you follow your bbt to confirm?

@RMS0209 that is good, my bloods came fine too except my iron which is low. Have a scan at the end of the month with nhs

MrsGrealish · 07/06/2022 16:54

@RMS0209 yes I care! That's really good news 😊 good luck this cycle🤞

@alwaysseeingstars I love ordering stuff too..it's way more relaxing having a nosy with a cup of tea😘 and then waiting for your pressies..from me to me xx

RMS0209 · 07/06/2022 16:22

Update for those who care... blood results back, everything has came back satisfactory and ovulation has been confirmed this cycle x

Kitty901 · 07/06/2022 16:19

@MrsGrealish i didn't as i deleted that app, i found it annoying. It as was close to the control line but not and absolute peak and since the test line got lighter during the day makes me think i had a peak last night. So frustrating! Even if we dtd tonight, ovulation must have been today i assume 🤔 the pills i took last month must have caused the early ovulatuon, i tested sunday and was negative and tested this morning and was close to peak.

RMS0209 · 07/06/2022 15:37

@Tropicana1 hi!
It was....... dont quote me I might say wrong
FSH/LH/Cholesterol/Blood count/ something else (oops) and progesterone x

alwaysseeingstars · 07/06/2022 15:30

Yes @MrsGrealish 🙌love that! I find ordering things rather than going shopping is better, then you get the excitement of ordering it AND the excitement when receiving it 😄and definitely celebrate that promotion!

MrsGrealish · 07/06/2022 15:07

@Kitty901 how dark was the peak? Did u load it on to premom site? Think my earliest peak was CD10.

Have just ordered myself tiny huggie earrings, a crop top for when my bloatedness finally goes and a designer bag. I still have that promotion to celebrate so fuck it 😂

Kitty901 · 07/06/2022 14:46

My opks are getting lighter now meaning i must have had the peak yesterday but since i didn't test i didn't realised that, as i was so ill. Wonder whether there is any point doing anything now 🤔 with all these old swimmers there, ovulation must be today. I am so annoyed we have completely missed it this cycle, waited for it so long! Did not expect such an early ovu.

Kitty901 · 07/06/2022 14:44

@MrsGrealish i am so sorry, i hope you feel better soon! It has been dragging on way too long for you now x

RMS0209 · 07/06/2022 13:28

@MrsGrealish I am so sorry to hear you are going through all this Sad x

Tropicana1 · 07/06/2022 13:26

Ah @MrsGrealish how bloody frustrating - also never seeing the same person / no continuity of care at all. Not surprised you're feeling really down about it now it's bad enough that you're having to go through a miscarriage but all the up and down and how much it's dragging on is so unfair

@Kitty901 ooh that's an early ovulation CD9!

@RMS0209 was one of the blood tests hcg or is it all just oestrogen / progesterone levels? Although 8dpo would probably be still too early to pick up on a blood test too

5dpo today, the tww just drags doesn't it. I'll probably test stupidly this weekend at 9/10dpo out of sheer boredom for waiting

@MrsGrealish don't apologise, we're here and supportive for the good and the bad!! My only advice after numerous ongoing issues is to just keep phoning any time you're in severe pain, it's the only way to get them to really pay attention (you may feel it's a waste of time, and as an individual call it kinda is, but I promise in the bigger picture it's worth it!)

MrsGrealish · 07/06/2022 12:38

@alwaysseeingstars every nurse, sister, dr has been different. Every time I get this is a non viable pregnancy. I know this. I explained the pain I was in last night. She put it in her notes. Then at the end of the appointment said please ring if you are in any pain. I'm like 'li did that last night no one seemed interested'

Sorry ladies I'm not feeling very positive at all today 😭

alwaysseeingstars · 07/06/2022 12:25

@MrsGrealish oh no, I'm so sorry you're having to go through all this - I imagine your emotions are all over the place (not to mention having to have 2 internals, that's bad enough in itself without the rest of the turmoil going on) sending hugs xx

MrsGrealish · 07/06/2022 12:17

@alwaysseeingstars back in a week hormone levels have dropped but not enough. Weird blob on scan they are now calling a clot. Had 2 internals today a sister and a doctor.

alwaysseeingstars · 07/06/2022 12:01

@Kitty901 oh bless you! Hope you're not feeling too rough and can manage DTD tonight
@RMS0209 have had a few days off, back on nights as of tonight! Definitely doesn't make TTC that easy and we definitely don't DTD as much as we both wish we did 😆ooh what DPO are you now? Don't say that, you definitely are still in with a chance! Good luck with the blood results 😘
Definitely agree with wanting people to have some good news - come on people!!

RMS0209 · 07/06/2022 11:02

@alwaysseeingstars hey! Yay for CD5 now, how you doing? Hopefully that's night shift finished?
@Tropicana1
I am 8DPO today... I got a few blood tests done successfully at the dr yesterday so just waiting on my results.

Not much to report here, already know it's not going to be a BFP but for me but hey ho staying optimistic

Somebody must have something exciting to tell me! X

Kitty901 · 07/06/2022 10:39

I am CD9 today and feel like i have either peaked yesterday or i am going to peak today early as i just had a quite strong opk now. Both me and hubby are ill and the last time we dtd was about a month ago🤣 so very old swimmers there even if we manage to do anything tonight. Was looking forward to having my period back so that we can resume things and now this 🤣 hate my luck

alwaysseeingstars · 07/06/2022 09:43

@MrsGrealish how you doing today?
@Chellooo sorry about the MMC but glad to hear you are feeling positive and ready to try again!
@Tropicana1 😂I think it's pretty impossible to not symptom spot to be fair!!

MrsGrealish · 06/06/2022 21:47

@Tropicana1 oh I will. I was in agony at work I'm not leaving till they sort this tomorrow. Sit in at epu😂. I'm stuck to a hot water bottle 2 of my hubbys painkillers deep watching love island scared to move. I've had back pain labours in the past never really get abdominal pain labour or even period pain at the front

Tropicana1 · 06/06/2022 21:14

@Chellooo glad you're feeling positive about the arrival of AF and getting back to trying, sorry about the MC

@MrsGrealish just seen your post on the jan thread about the pains - hope you're ok to last it out until your EPU appointment tomorrow morning but please do go to your a&e if it stays bad! X

Chellooo · 06/06/2022 18:21
