Geriatric gang 🤰part 2

@MK85 Thanks. I don't think I'm missing out on anything really not having premium. I haven't noticed any difference wrong dtd around ovulation.
Fingers crossed you have ovulated! Too late to jump OH's bones tonight?? 😂

Hi can I just ask.. how long after ovulation does your temp rise?

I hope everyone has some nice plans for the weekend which dosent involve thinking about ttc.

I'm hoping I've ovulated but who knows. Temp hasn't really increased yet and I had ecwm this morning 🤷‍♀️ but cervix is currently low so I'm assuming if ovulation did occur then its already now passed , otherwise wouldn't it be high?
I'm hoping we've covered it enough incase. I feel like killing OH . He wouldn't DTD with me last night. Apparently he needed a days break and gave me a gentle reminder he's almost 40 😆
We agreed to BD before work this morning but then he didn't bother. He gets up before me, and later claimed he thought I seemed tired so left me to sleep 🤨 Argh!

Are any of clued up on progesterone rises after ovulation / potential ovulation ?

My progesterone had risen.. tested wed am

Not risen anywhere enough yet by then
But if ovulation was mon tues.. ( which clear blue ovulation said peak fertility 4 )( & cheap sticks coralated) - its likely risen more since wed am - i just havent done a test since

Trying 2 find a private gp / place that will test it tomorrow

Could it be that progesterone is rising and would be higher now ?

Did anyone track their progesterone that closely - and did anyones go up over 1 - 6 days etc

My dr wants to retest b12 in 2 weeks

And likely then give me injections for b12

@worldwidetravel2017 I take a supplement with b12 but that's because I'm on metformin and it can interfere with b12

@Butterfly2000 I've never used premom premium. sorry I'm of no help.
I just use premom to track LH and then use fertility friend for temps

@cornflakes86 Thanks - and sorry for you too.

Hopefully it'll just take a bit more time but no harm getting checked now in case there is any issues. We were NTNP for about six months beforehand as well.

@MK85 thanks for that information. Nope haven’t noticed any difference dtd during ovulation to be honest .

@CaffeineAndCrochet Sorry to hear. my Af has just arrived too. It’s worth getting the ball rolling with tests but don’t worry too much 6 months isn’t a long time trying.

Morning! For those of you that use the Premom app premium version is it worth the money or should I stick to the basic?

@CaffeineAndCrochet

Ask your gp 2 authorise bloods for feretin, b12 and vit D

Are u taking folic acid ?

Are youe cycles regular?

Ask 4 progesterone day21 test 2 check ovulation , can also buy from super drug

Thanks @Rusticanella

@worldwidetravel2017 No PCOS and no tests at all yet. I presume that's what will happen now, or at least that's what we'll be referred for. I've no idea what will happen though, tbh - I, quite naively, assumed TTC would just happen for us.

Ive read a lot about likeky / potential b12 deficiency
Not being good for / in conception , pregnancy / potential pregnancy..

Have you guys had your b12 checked, ? & vit D & feretin ?

Day 32 here of cycle..

I feel different & dont feel like a period is coming

Concerned re likely vit b12 deficiency

Took a tablet yest and one today

Bought beetroot which is my new b12 best friend - had some yest & today

Waiting 4 gp 2 ring me this am

If i get 2 next Tues without a period - will preg test with one of the early response ones
Based on our effort fri night of last week

We tried 4 times in window that coralated with cb high & then peak fertility
And cheap sticks coralated 4 peak.

So might be testing with the earliest ones early in week after next too

Sorry to hear that
Dya have pcos?
Have u had feretin , b12 & vit D all checked?

Have you done a day 21 ish ( can vary on day) progesterone test to check ovulation ?

I feel physically strange down there during ovulation 😆 it's like i lose sensation dtd. It's rather odd. Even if it was very rough and hard sex for example i feel nothing, and it's unenjoyable. . Happens every ovulation day. Once it's passed, feeling returns. Can't figure out what could possibly cause it to feel like that

@CaffeineAndCrochet sorry to hear that 😞

@MK85 It can feel quite going-through-the-motions sometimes but also it can be extra intense… as in woah we could be creating life! I think we’re both a bit jaded from the whole TTC saga at this point, so that can’t be helping the mood.

AF finally showed yesterday, a full week late. So that brings us to 6 months unsuccessful trying. Next step is doctor's appointment.

Heres an odd question ladies...
Do you, or your other half notice any difference DTD during ovulation?
Does it feel any different for either of you ?

@cornflakes86 it may be that your estrogen just rises very rapidly coming up to ovulation.
If its picking up on enough LH at same time then it can bypass the flashing stage as I think they are set by threshold levels. I read on clearblue website that it said its not unusual.
If your ovulating then I probably wouldn't worry about it as if your estrogen was low I'd imagine you'd have difficulty ovulating since rising estrogen is required to signal to the brain to ramp up LH.

@worldwidetravel2017 I had a flashing 🙂 on one clearblue test a week ago ( never normally flashes) Cheapies weren't rising. It got upto 0.44 then crashed down again.
After a few days I opened a new clearblue test holder to try it and it came back negative 😆 clearly my estrogen had risen but LH just wasn't surging to promote ovulation.
A week later and it went from blank to static 🙂 in a few hours . Cheapie test has finally risen now got a 0.80, although I'm not confident as today it's already decreased and registering 'low' today. Usually my highs are over 2 days. I'm just hoping I've finally ovualted this time. Arrggggh. I've ordered a test from medichecks which I'm hoping will be here in time

@cornflakes86 mine did this as well. I really don't know.

BFN this morning again. FRER, FMU, period is due in three days, so pretty sure that's me out.

But grumpy with it all. As well as just getting older all the time, there are a few other decisions that would be made much easier if we knew if a baby was going to happen or not. Mortgage renewal/works on house etc, plus, I really hate my job but haven't been looking at new ones in case I end up preggo...just frustrating.

And now I'm itching to get ovulating and get trying again, then it will be back to TWW. No wonder it's all referred to as "cycles" 😂

New day.. new problem
Deficient in b12 now

Thankfully my vit D has doubled over 3 month period

Feretin still dropping every month - & that's with not having had a bleed / period for 30 days

@MK85 whats the story with no flashing smiley on clearblue. I noticed since my mmc it was going straight from low fertility to static with no flashing ones in between . Was worried I have low oestrogen or something now.
