Its driving me nuts ive had loads of ewcm tmi yest and today but my temps still went down no sign of ovulation on chart on ff and STILL no positive on an opk. I think my ovaries are officially fucked up! Lol

I think if you're temping and taking opks then 3 months without any sign of ovulation and you can visit your gp and they'll take bloods.
You're not out yet though so fingers crossed you get it.

thisisouryrfx18 · 07/05/2018 19:07

It's always best to get the ball rolling when it comes to fertility I think.
Absolutely exhausted now. Think the sun has done me in.

thisisouryrfx18 · 07/05/2018 19:53

Yh its roasting today im sittin in front of my fan just now lol ur prob like me emotionally exhausted aswell. I started off joking to OH about my ovaries but its slowly beginning to sink in its a real problem now and im scared to go to the docs tbh. If they said pcos or sumthin i could handle that i think but what if they say no reason we dnt know how to help u😞

Started bleeding today so need to start again.

thisisouryrfx18 · 08/05/2018 16:59

No way a lot? Or just spotting?

OP posts:
Aph413 · 08/05/2018 17:23

It's a lot. And it's bright red with clots so that's the end of that. Time to order inositol for this cycle.

thisisouryrfx18 · 08/05/2018 17:46

Hope ur alrite hun❤

Aph413 · 08/05/2018 19:52

Mentally I felt worse before I started bleeding. Now I'm just a bit miffed but in a pms kind of way.
Physically this hurts way more than a regular period.

All I can do is move on and start my next cycle, this one wasn't meant to be. I'm going to be heading back to the gym once the bleeding stops to try lose a bit of weight. Hopefully weight loss and a much healthier diet should make a difference to my cycle length

thisisouryrfx18 · 08/05/2018 21:11

The not knowing and waiting is torture! But i know u were obvs gettin ur hopes up who wouldnt? I think ur doin the best thing tho concentrating on the nxt cycle is OH alrite?must be tough on him too, mother nature is a fuckin bitch!

I was the same when i had a bfp that turned into a bfn the cramps were terrible

OP posts:
Aph413 · 08/05/2018 21:22

He's definitely sad about it. I'm not doing as well as I thought. Just spent a good 10 minutes bawling into the baby gro I got him. Need to put it away again. It's so very fucking cruel

thisisouryrfx18 · 08/05/2018 23:09

U were prob in shock cause its been gd news bad news back n forth no wonder ur upset! Its soo sad and very cruel..hope u get a gd sleep and feel a bit better in the morning hun ❤

OP posts:
Aph413 · 09/05/2018 07:21

We both ended up having a bit of a cry last night.
Feel better this morning apart from the cramps, I honestly just wasn't prepared for the rollercoaster a positive test would end up being. Since this though I only have 1 test left so I won't be able to go crazy testing this cycle.

Ordered my inositol last night in powdered form from the my protein website since it's cheaper than pills but still does the same thing.

FlapJackered · 09/05/2018 09:09

@Aph413 - I am so sorry. That must be really hard. Flowers
It is not easy this TTC business, but at least we have each other.
Will keep my fingers crossed for a positive cycle this time for all of us.

thisisouryrfx18 · 09/05/2018 11:20

@Aph413 my heart goes out to the both of u it really does like i said very sad and very cruelFlowers im glad ur OH is supportive tho gd yous have one another to lean on..i woke up to an even more bizzare chart this morning soo confused

Thanks both of you. Ready for my first really proactive cycle. Plenty more healthy eating and supplements to regulate hormones and all that jazz. See if I can't regulate my cycles.

@thisis have those cross hairs appeared today? Your temperatures look to be fluctuating normally

thisisouryrfx18 · 10/05/2018 01:58

Yh the cross hairs appeared yest morning but im not convinced i ovulated 11 days ago only got ewcm 3days ago and still no sniff of a +opk..i think im gonna do the same this mnth regardless of wether im pregnant or not need to get back to the gym and get back into exercising aswell. We can use one another as motivation lol

That set makes a bit more sense. Have you been taking photos of your opks?

thisisouryrfx18 · 10/05/2018 08:47

@Aph413 no ive not been taking photos cause ive been using the clear blue digital ones with the smiley face but it gets stranger. I peed on an opk this morning and it came up a smiley face finally! Soo happy! But also confused cause ff says i ovulated 3days ago lolConfused..how r u feelin today anyway? R u working a long shift?

OP posts:
Aph413 · 10/05/2018 08:53

Yay! Best get dtd today and tomorrow and probably the day after just to catch it. That's how I caught this time even if it didn't stick. Opk just means you've got a surge and could ovulate in the next 24 hours.
Your temperatures should start to go up even more now, I'm sure I read that its the sustained rise that proves ovulation not always a dip.
I'm on a fairly short shift today and going to collect a new kitten. All black girl half ragdoll half domestic cat. I'm so excited. So this is keeping me distracted.

thisisouryrfx18 · 10/05/2018 09:10

Oh my god im soo jealous! I luv little kittens😻 cant get 1tho cause we ve got a dog, luv her to bits tho she is like my baby lol
