Hi

Thanks for taking the time to look. Would this suggest I ovulated? My opks say no as they only went about a third as dark as the control line. I definitely didn't miss it with the opks as I checked each time I went for a wee on the important dates. This is my 1st month charting and am struggling a little.

Hi

I hope your cycle settles down a bit in future months, of course only if you don't get a BFP before then. So do you think you have only just ovulated over the last couple of days then? Did you manage to dtd? It's so difficult knowing when to dtd and trying to catch it.

I didn't test again today as only have 1 frer left before my Amazon shipment arrives and at £10.50 for 2 they aren't cheap. Wasn't going to test again until NYE but I think I will use it tomorrow. I'm having some cramping today which I don't like the idea of. I am having mega tiredness which was a massive sign of pregnancy 1st time around although it didn't affect me much 2nd time around. I'm not one to snooze in the middle of the day but had an hour's sleep in front of the tv today and also half an hour in the car which I'm taking as a good sign. Will post a new frer pic tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed its darker....

Yeah cycles all up the shoot post pill so recon this was OV. Looking forward to seeing what the temps do. Have pcos bloods booked for next week. My temps have been SO rocky this month! Makes it hard to know what's going on. Only managed to did on the day of positive opk. Didn't do it for about 3 days before that and not dtd since. DH has been busy this week (and also a bit grumpy) and Iv been knackered! We dtd quite a lot around what I though was OV before so kinda fed up by the real OV! Haha. Will definitely be easier if cycles were normal!

Yeah I don't blame you, it's like peeing on a fiver each time!! That's what I have to keep reminding myself! That's why the cheapies so are hard to resist! Fingers crossed for tomorrow. Try not to worry about the cramping, it's really common and normal. Xx

Sunnydays321 · 29/12/2015 21:10

Here my rocky chart! :( opks faded to very negative today so definitely not pregnant! Dug the old test out and the line is still really obvious, and pink, bloody evap! X

Morning!

Opk's don't mean anything this early in you know. I did a couple of opk's this cycle late on but before BFP and they were non existent lines. I have saved them so will take a pic later when the light is a bit better. I think they only go dark quite a lot later. I'll also dip one in today's fmu and show you what it does, but again later as I've come back to bed.

I've been where you are now with not knowing when you're going to ovulate and it's just exhausting. I'm sorry your cycles are not playing ball. Why don't they warn you if this when you have hormonal contraception? If they had said something I would have certainly stopped a lot lot sooner. They used to go mad with me if I was a day late for my next injection saying I could be pregnant and once they almost refused to give me my next one as I was a few days late, until I lied and said we hadn't dtd for 2 weeks as I had been away. It's a bloody joke! I know there are some people who get pregnant within days of it wearing off but there are so many people who don't! Luckily I warned a couple of friends at one of my friends wedding last summer. Neither are planning families immediately but both have come off hormonal contraception to prepare their bodies before they start trying. I wish someone had told me. I saw my one friends (from the wedding) a couple of days ago and they are waiting until her dh has found himself a more permanent and secure job before they start trying, but at least they won't have to wait for another year for any hormones to regulate.

Here is my chart and also new frer from this morning. It is certainly getting darker. Not getting excited and feel rather numb to it all. Just waiting to see what happens....

snow how are you?

rose have your drugs arrived yet? Did you have a load of brown horrible gunk come out a few days after your Hycosy?

pcr are you still sick?

Here you go sunny

Blue is ic hpt
Green is ic opk

If it wasn't for the FRER I still wouldn't know. And I spotted that 1st very faint positive on 26th. Thank goodness! All of that drinking that I would have done over Xmas.

Congratulations Vap I really hope this is it for you!

No, still no drugs for me. I'm out of the country with DH to celebrate NYE now until 4th January so I'll have to chase it when I get back. The pharmacy has said I can reorder and they will send them by priority post this time. I calculate that I will need them by mid-Jan so its going to be tight!

I had brown gunk on the eve of the HyCoSy and the following morning but not anywhere near as much as I expected. Maybe because my tubes were completely clear and there was only a little fluid found in my uterus, there wasn't much to be 'dislodged'?!

Vap0 · 30/12/2015 10:56

rose great news your tubes and everything being clear! That must be a massive relief! I'm sure they will get the drugs to you in time. These Europeans seem to be quite on the ball and certainly these Czech clinics get such good reviews by EVERYONE I'm sure they will ensure they are with you in time.

Your NYE celebrations sound brilliant! Hope you have a lively time away! Thanks

Af arrived yesterday in her full festive regalia so I'm out this month. My temp is all the way back down to 96.40 where it seems to lurk pre-ov so at least I have a good idea of my "normal" temps now I've charted once. I like ff as it gives great stats and the crosshairs etc for ovulation. The benefit of a short cycle is I can start accosting the dh early next week and be back in the game around the 10th!

Sunnydays321 · 30/12/2015 13:11

Ooo vapo look at your lovely stable temps post ovulation! And love the darkening line. Hope it all starts feeling real and more exciting soon and less scary! X

Vap0 · 31/12/2015 10:45

Sorry about af snow although yes you are right, short cycles mean more opportunities to ttc. Best of luck in January Thanks

Brown spotting at 3+6 again sad
It's the beginning of the end for the 3rd time. And yet again the Drs is shut when it's happening.
What a shit way to start the year.

OP posts:
Sunnydays321 · 01/01/2016 14:06

Oh vapo, I'm so sorry. But lots of people do get spotting/bleeds around the time their period would be due. It doesn't always mean there's a problem. If you are worried you can call 111 for the out of hours GP, they can organise you an epac appt for Monday, in the same way the normal gps could. I think you will have to just a watch and wait, hand holding over here if you need it. Xxx

Sunnydays321 · 02/01/2016 15:34

Hi vapo, how are things today? Xx

Vap0 · 02/01/2016 16:59

Hi sunny
No more spotting, thanks for asking. There was only a small amount yesterday so I'm just hoping it's all over but not holding my breath. Last time there was a small amount one day, then nothing for a day, then more, then nothing. So, will have to just wait and see. Unfortunately my epu won't speak to you until you are 6 weeks + so no hell there Confused
How are you getting on? Do you think you ovulated later on as you thought? Any ideas when af may be on the way? Or when you may be testing?

OP posts:
Sunnydays321 · 02/01/2016 18:44

Glad it's all settled. Fingers crossed that's the end of it and it was just little baby burying itself in for a cosy 9 months!

My chart is saying I OVd and am not 6dpo. It's so rocky it would be very hard to tell without the cross hairs. I still don't have sore nipples (that I normally get after Ov. But I had pos opk and temps agree so il go with that.

I have done three tests since that evap. And they have all been negative (just wanted to check before I drank on nye!). But I opened the case of them all to check, (naughty I know!) still nothing. Put them back together. Looked at them a day or 2 later and all have very faint Evans. I know they are evap because positives don't take 2 days to develop! Lol. And I know they much have just dried quickly when I took them apart! But 4 in a row, that's just taunting me. Haha. My New Years resolution needs to be to chuck my tests out after 10 mins! Smile x

Sunnydays321 · 05/01/2016 19:27

Hi vapo. How are things going? Hope you've stopped spotting and all going well x

Vap0 · 06/01/2016 08:19

Hi All

How is everyone getting on?

rose did your drugs arrive?

sunny I've lost track, where are you up to?

Spotting was on 1/01 and 3/01 and ao far nothing more since. Hoping it's all over. Today 4+4

So, I spoke with the dr yesterday, she said no point doing bloods as it didn't tell us anything last time, she has a point. It didn't help other than stress me out waiting for the results. So we are just waiting and seeing what happens and hoping for the best. She was surprised we were pregnant again so quickly. She spoke about booking me in for an early scan (due to spotting) at 6w, told her we have the appointment with fertility dr on 18th, she said it was perfect timing as he will scan me there and then. Asked her who we deal with if this does end badly and she said it was same Dr. So whatever happens we are going to the right place. So on 18th we will be 6+2, most likely won't see a heart beat then but should be able to see the sac.

Vap0 · 06/01/2016 08:23

sunny I don't like the sound of your tests. This is not a time where you want uncertainty. When you run out get a different type! As much as I agree with binning tests I still have about 15 FRER in my drawer at home, all labelled! Ha!

Snowdog37 · 12/01/2016 11:46

Sorry for the slow response, this thread fell off my list.
rose and sunny how are you getting on?

Sunnydays321 · 18/01/2016 20:00

Aw vapo!! I'm so happy for you guys! It been thinking of you, didn't want to post on here and pester you. I've got everything crossed for you! How many weeks are you? Xx

Sunnydays321 · 18/01/2016 20:03

All a bit boring over here. Cycle day 13. All opk negative, but temps a little more stable than last month, except for one massive spike just after AF. Not taking anything ie Angus or Iso this month as had some pcos bloods done and don't want to affect the results. The bloods were all fine which was good. Also got a pelvic scan in a couple of weeks due to pelvic pain but typically it's settled a bit now. Just on the long wait for Ovulation.

How are you snow? Did your temps stay high? You must be 11dpo now, any news??

Xx

Vap0 · 18/01/2016 20:30

Hi
My dates say 6+2 but the dr said the scan said 5 and a half weeks.
That's interesting that your temps have been stable. Have you ever had stable temps when taking supplements? Perhaps the supplements aren't helping? Although do you usually ovulate on supplements? Still plenty of time to ovulate. Good luck Grin

Hi! Here's my current chart...

No really major symptoms (unlike last month where I thought I was definitely upduffed)... I keep having hot flushes and I was up a lot peeing last night. I had what I hope was implantation bleeding on Friday, it was very watery pink and only for a couple of hours each time I wiped. Mild cramps now and then. My boobs feel heavy. I feel blah. Af is due to arrive in 3 days so we shall see. Apparently my chart looks promising but I thought the last one did too so again, blah. Lol.

How's your little bean? I hope all is sticky and not too pukey. 😊💐🍰

Snowdog37 · 18/01/2016 21:40
