Have I missed ovulation?

57 replies

Giles1008 · 20/03/2023 17:35

I usually ovulated on CD15 - thought I might be ovulating a little later but just done a test and it’s literally at 0 now.

Could I have missed ovulation between CD14 and the morning of CD15?

We BD on CD13 & CD15 and I have had ewcm

@Giles1008 she said with our results she has no idea why we're sat there telling her we have problems getting me pregnant! She's advised a HyCoSy to check my tubes & I've had 3 lletz treatments so she wants to make sure the sperm is actually getting through my cervix! So just waiting for day 1 of my cycle so I can book in for it. She did say lots of people fall after they've had it done as it almost flushes the system out, if my tubes are clear then we have to try for 3 months due to my age, then have IVF if we want it.
No doubt you'll take the pressure off trying and fall! Moving and building is not fun! 6 months sounds awful to put up with! Good luck whatever you choose to do! X

Oh wow @Matildahoney that is early, I have ovulated on CD11 but also CD21 🤷🏻‍♀️ there must be so many factors that affect it. Did you get any answers from your fertility appointment?

AF has just finished for me but my OH and I are thinking about stopping TTC for a little while. We are buying a house and the building work is more expensive than we anticipated, it’s also scheduled to last 6 months. Going back on to Maternity salary is probably not wise and this baby will be our last so I’d like to be financially secure to enjoy the year off.

@Giles1008 sorry I missed this response! I did test, I got my BFP but in ended in a chemical pregnancy unfortunately. Waiting for ovulation this month now 😖

Matildahoney · 13/04/2023 09:59

Hi @Giles1008 hope you're doing ok? Interestingly I had a scan at a fertility clinic this week on day 13 of my cycle and she said I had already ovulated this month!! So tracking from day 1 for me in future!!

Matildahoney · 30/03/2023 13:43

@Giles1008 I tend not to do any pregnancy tests and just wait for AF. I find for me it's too much pressure, I'd rather just wait!

Sorry for the late reply @Angelselevenx i must have missed it. We fell pregnant quickly with my son the first month of trying but I had been tracking and taking supplements for 3 months prior.

Did you test again? Did your evap develop into anything? I’m not sure when to test, feeling really periody but it’s not due for another week.

@Matildahoney I’m sorry to hear that, the wait it so hard and disheartening. Hopefully the blood test and scan can give you some answers.

I had really bad cramps on my way into work, felt like period pains. Feeling a bit done because I’m only 7DPO so if AF comes now then I was all out with OPK’s and BD. I didn’t actually get a proper peak so it may have been earlier in my cycle. I’m sort of wishing for AF now so I can get going again. Ordered a FRER last night was going to take it Sunday I see quite a few get BFP at 10DPO?

Matildahoney · 30/03/2023 10:09

Well AF arrived for me so I'm assuming I didn't ovulate as we were SMEPing this month again! Had my AMH blood test on Tues so we see the consultant on the 11th & I have a scan, hopefully we'll get some answers as to what's going on!

Angelselevenx · 28/03/2023 20:46

@Giles1008 oh good luck, how long were you TTC for your son? Good idea, if anything it just gives us more awareness of our bodies!

I tested today but no line whatsoever, there was a slight shadow but I think that was an evap. I just don't feel any different bar the cramps etc so I really think I'm out.

@Angelselevenx I’ve had a ‘full’ feeling but it was actually over ovulation so nothing to do with any possible pregnancy. I’m not BBT this month it’s our first month trying, but I might next month. When I had our son I wore a fit bit and my heart rate never dropped so I knew I was pregnant it just keeps rising, so might start wearing that again.

How about you? Will you test early?

Angelselevenx · 28/03/2023 19:42

@Giles1008 how are you feeling? I'm 7DPO today. Are you temping? If so what's your graph looking like so far?

Ahhh Congratulations, such wonderful news! I’m only 5DPO feels like I have so long left to wait.

Sunday will be 10DPO so I will test then too 🤞🏻

@Giles1008 sorry for the late reply! How are you getting on? Have you tested yet?

Thank you! Congrats to you too! That's so exciting... Ours is a new build so not much to do to it, but I reckon a doer upper could be fun! It's nice to have something to work on :)

I actually got my bfp this morning at 10dpo 😊

Praying it's a sticky one this time 🤞🙏

Congratulations on the house! Yes time is definitely on your side, I’m 30 and my husband is 34 so we should be fine too I think.

We’re just in the process of buying at the moment it’s a real “doer upper” so having a few problems with the mortgage because it needs some structural work but 🤞🏻 it goes through soon. My little boy was 2 in January, so there will be about a 3 year age gap between him and any new babies. Your little girl will be old enough to remember a new a baby which is sweet.

This is our first month TTC properly but I’ve been tracking and taking vitamins since January. Pretty sure I’m ovulating and seem regular so hoping it won’t take too long - going to test from 9 DPO probably because I’m too impatient 😂

I tried to check my watch in the night but I guess I never had an undisturbed 3 hours, but I got an average in the morning. I can’t seem to LH test either as never have greater than 0.45 and I never got peaks with my first one either.. my apps all day I’m due AF in 3 days so guess I’ll just wait and see

TTCnumbertwo2 · 24/03/2023 23:59

Hi @LolaStanley1 @Giles1008 i track bbt on natural cycle. I sleep around 10pm, wake up 1am, 3am, 6am. I track the first time I wake up, natural cycle says at least 3hrs of uninterrupted sleep. Despite me keep waking up the app is extremely accurate with also the confirmation of the 2x pink peak day cb ovulation sticks.

although today for the first time I only had 1 day of a static smiley face which I’m confused about as usually I get 2 days in a row static smiley. We’ve been trying for 3 months now. It’s my 5th pregnancy with 3x loses. All those pregnancies I got pregnant instantly so this wait is sending my anxiety through the roof. Natural cycle said I ovulated today and My period is due 10th april. Hate the wait ! Good luck all

HannahLouD · 24/03/2023 22:20

@Giles1008 I came off the pill late December so this is our third cycle... Felt so lucky when I got my bfp last month (10dpo), couldn't believe it only took two cycles, but here we are again! 🤞It won't take long again but who knows!
I got my bfp with my daughter (she's 5 next month) a day before AF was due but she was a complete surprise and wasn't trying so wasn't early testing... Only tested because I felt "off" and my sense of smell was sooo heightened, I just knew.
Would have loved to have had another much closer together but I wasn't in a relationship with my daughter's dad, we were just friends with benefits kinda thing 🙄🙈 I have a stable partner now and we just bought a house together last summer so the time finally feels right. I'm 28, he's 34 so hoping if it does take some time, at least age is kinda on my side still 🤞(would honestly probably love 3 kids but we shall see! 😂)
Have you been ttc for long? How old is your son? 😊

Angelselevenx · 24/03/2023 21:42

@Giles1008 yeah I do, around 11 days. Which is nice as it's a few less days to wait but obviously a longer LP would be beneficial!

Do you track your BBT?

Giles1008 · 24/03/2023 21:26

@Angelselevenx do you only have a short luteal phase? I’m not due AF until the following Friday. Mine is usually about 16 days after ovulation 😒 feels so long! But hoping for a little Christmas baby.

Angelselevenx · 24/03/2023 21:19

@Giles1008 eek! We're testing the same weekend. AF is due 1st April for me and I'm 3DPO currently

Giles1008 · 24/03/2023 20:46

Oh that’s good @HannahLouD how long have you been TTC? Not sure when to test I think I was about 10DPO when I got my BFP with my son which is next Sunday 😬

OP posts:
HannahLouD · 24/03/2023 17:42

Update: it was a dodgey opk... Back down to where it should be now 😂🙈

You're supposed to have at least 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep... Not that that's possible for a lot of people!

LolaStanley1 · 24/03/2023 16:58

Oh wow, I haven’t had uninterrupted sleep for more than 2 hours in 2.5 years! Ha ha no wonder it’s all over the place.

Giles1008 · 24/03/2023 16:53

@LolaStanley1 yes I think it’s suppose to be uninterrupted sleep, can’t remember exactly but 6 hours? I had a friend who used to do it in the night if she woke up for wee because after going back to bed it wasn’t accurate anymore.
