Anyone else about to begin their FW or coming up to it soon?

My FW starts from tomorrow, I will be CD10, cycle 3 and will be DTD as much as poss (Taking into account our house is fecking cold and all I want to do is put my onesie and fluffy socks on and watch Marcella on catch up).

Haven't been temping this month but will do my first OPK tonight... I haven't been doing them since my period finished but hoping I will catch my LH surge anyway. Has everyone been doing their OPK's since the last day of their period?

How does everyone feel about having a November baby?

Ahhh @peaches1991 that's frustrating for you - fingers crossed for next month!

@rosieposies hopefully AF stays away and the sore boobs were a good sign. It's so hard to tell!

@thisisouryrfx18 yeah I have heard of it - am gonna speak to doc about it when I go in next week to discuss results. I'm gonna be that person buying all sorts of random stuff online to increase fertility!

thisisouryrfx18 · 10/03/2018 17:53

Yh kaytees go for it..rosieposies ur still in peaches1991 that sux!

seven201 · 10/03/2018 18:09

I'm on cd 33, 12 days post ovulation. I forgot to test this morning as dd woke up very angry so I ran for a wee before thinking! Am going to test tomorrow morning. My cycles are between 32 and 36 ish. I don't feel pregnant, but I didn't with dd either!

seven201 · 10/03/2018 18:17

Kaytees, apologies if this has been covered already (I haven't read everything). I never got a positive opk with the cheapies, only clearblue digital advance. I also ovulate late (cd25 last month, 21 this month) and have started taking vit c and b6 100mg. I think it's helped a bit as I'm 12 days post ovulation now.

seven201 · 10/03/2018 18:17

Sorry peaches. Sad

Karigan1 · 10/03/2018 19:29

And back to CD1. Not touching EPO this cycle in case it’s causing the early ovulation. How’s everyone doing?

thisisouryrfx18 · 10/03/2018 20:39

rosieposies · 10/03/2018 21:25

@karigan ahh that's crap Flowers What's EPO?

AF cramping getting pretty full on now. Just ordered a bunch of IC's on amazon so that I don't have to worry about running out of tests next month like I have done today.

@seven glad to hear about the vits helping you with your luteal phase - what cycle are you on?

seven201 · 11/03/2018 07:04

Sorry Karigan.

I'm on cycle 2 and just got my BFP! Took 9 cycles to conceive dd so I wasn't expecting an early win this time round. I think I'm in shock!

kaytees · 11/03/2018 07:49

Oh my gosh @seven201 that is so exciting, congratulations!

seven201 · 11/03/2018 19:00

Thank you kaytees.

Fingers crossed for everyone still waiting!

I'm out for this month  AF has turned up in all her glory. it's my 30th in April, and I am being made redundant from my job of 8 years on Friday so considering skipping a month so I can have a good night out and enjoy some none symptom spotting time!! Maybe who knows.

PMS on top of a BFN sucks.

thisisouryrfx18 · 13/03/2018 07:27

Congrats seven201! Post a pic ❤you must be over the🌙x

kaytees · 13/03/2018 08:15

Ah I'm sorry @rosieposies - sounds like you deserve to have a worry free April! Hope AF passes as quickly as possible.

I'm CD 24 and ovulated Sunday or yesterday I think - already got the backache etc I get with PMS so I reckon I'm out this month too. Frustrated doesn't even cover it!

PassTheAfterEights · 13/03/2018 17:04

Congrats @seven201 and very sorry to read @rosiesposies - sounds like you massively deserve that night out, enjoy it & hope this happens for you soon x

kaytees · 15/03/2018 11:35

Think I'm well and truly out - just back from docs to discuss results of blood tests and according the bloods I'm not ovulating at all Hmm - despite my opks telling me different! I have to go back next cycle to be tested again. AF due over the weekend so that's something else to look forward to!

Karigan1 · 15/03/2018 13:13

Have you recently come of birth control? Might be your progesterone levels still need to increase sufficiently?

thisisouryrfx18 · 15/03/2018 13:26

Soo sorry@kaytees meds should help ovulation tho gd luck at docs💜i didnt know that @karigan1 interesting..

kaytees · 15/03/2018 14:03

Hey @Karigan1 nope, came off the pill in July. CP in December which doc thought may have impacted but as my cycles are regular since they don't think that's the cause. Doc says he's not seen a blood test that couldn't detect progesterone at all before... I feel so special!
