Hahaha brilliant lolacola13 that we both were lauing there! FX that it was perfect timing for us. I'm taking B vits, folic acid and Vit D and have been so for 3 cycles so maybe took a cycle for one of those to kick in. I've also dramatically decreased on caffeine and alcohol so idk if that's helping. But I'm also waaaayyyy less stressed compared to a few cycles ago and I'm sure that's helping.

thisisouryrfx18 before these shorter cycles I was Oving past CD20 so possible you still will or that OPKs just don't work for you.

MrsV2018 Noooooo Sad sorry to read that! Have you at least got any plans to cheer you up for the bank holiday weekend? FX for next cycle lovely Flowers

MrsV2018 · 04/05/2018 09:44

Apart from crying over the long weekend - no other plans. Think it's time to see the doctor... but dreading it. Don't like blood tests and scared of needles

Hope you ovd @TwittleBee fx it's your month ...

MrsV2018 how long has it been for you again Sad Don't worry, hopefully the Dr will be really lovely and hand hold! Maybe you could see if a scan could be first option or get your OH tested first (more often it actually is the guy that causes couple infertility)

Thank you, I hope so too. Even though DH did originally say we weren't gonna try this month until I had my investigations to rule out anything bad... guess that went out of the window last night for him LOL

OP posts:
MrsV2018 · 04/05/2018 10:08

@TwittleBee no harm in just trying... you never know which little bugger will stick

It's been about a year of trying but I was on the depo before that so I know it might take a bit longer. I've only been tracking my cycle and checking when I ovd last month so a bit new to all that so hoping that before that we just weren't dtd at the right time and just missing opportunities... wishful thinking!!

thisisouryrfx18 · 04/05/2018 10:58

Morning ladies woke up to another negative opk @TwittleBee it might b that they dnt work for me but im gonna try testing everyday until af(fx doesnt come tho lol) that way i can show gp no +opk temps all over the place 42day long cycle terrible periods c what they say

thisisouryrfx18 good plan tbf! And unfortentluy with that combination of things it really does look like you might be having trouble ovulating. Hopefully they'll put you straight on Clomid and you have some luck with that

MrsV2018 Well that thinking could certainly have been the right thinking, turned out I was ovulating much later than I thought at first due to having a short luteal phase! Worth going in for a chat with GP though if its been a year. Don't worry, they're there to help and there's lots of easy fixes before it gets to the scary stuff xx

OP posts:
thisisouryrfx18 · 04/05/2018 13:17

@TwittleBee Yh ive had a bfp on a digital test before tho so i dnt know if the test was faulty or if i ovulate sometimes. I do know that i normally have sore boobs by now so im wondering if im ovulating later or not at all this month. Just a guessing game at this point

TwittleBee · 04/05/2018 13:30

thisisouryrfx18 possibly you just ovulate sometimes (especially how we both already said maybe its PCOS)? Or just that OPKs are crap for you and BBT isn't working this month because:

  1. you had a cheeky drink and that temp threw your chart off (btw have you removed that from your app to see what your pattern looks like without it?)
  2. you swapped from oral to vaginal half way through Hopefully next cycle it be really clear for you and you'll get to bottom of this whole Ovulation saga ! FX

thisisouryrfx18 You are fully entitled to be fed up with it! FX
Well planning to get in some more dissertation writing in tomorrow. DH working Sunday & Monday so going to stay over my Mums on those 2 days. Will be nice to catch up with her and my kid sister. Have you much on?

OP posts:
thisisouryrfx18 · 04/05/2018 14:48

@TwittleBee that sounds nice well the catching up with family part not the uni work lol im working most of it(sux) but im going bowling with my sister on sat nite so thatl b fun and hopefully get some more decorating done on the monday when im off. By the time i get pregnant i ll have the full house done lol i just discarded that temp like u said and fertility friend thinks i ovulated on the 29th and im 5dpo! Ive literally got everything crossed now we dtd on the sat nite!

thisisouryrfx18 · 04/05/2018 14:55

thisisouryrfx18 YES that looks like a clear temp shift to me now! Whooop! And you even had the classic 3dpo temp dip (I get that too!) And it aligns with your EWCM. Very promising! Well actually be at least handy that you will have all the decorating done lol! Especially if you are hit badly with morning sickness or achy pelvis I guess. But FX you will be seeing a (sticky) BFP! So excited now for you.

Cakelaur · 04/05/2018 15:09

I'm gonna jump in @thisisouryrfx18 and say seems early for O. I would suggest that where you've switched to vaginal temping your temps are higher. My advice would be add 0.2 degrees to each measurement that you took orally. Just to see what that does to your chart. Vaginal temping will always be higher. Which is why ff thinks you've ovulated.

TwittleBee · 04/05/2018 15:13

Sad oh sorry thisisouryrfx18 but yeah actually that does make sense Cakelaur Sad What is the earliest AF has come for you thisisouryrfx18 btw? That would be a good way to see if it is too early as well (I just know with me I can Ov anywhere from CD11-CD35 with PCOS)

(super hoping you made the switch to vaginal temping before your Thu 26th April recording)

OP posts:
thisisouryrfx18 · 04/05/2018 16:00

@TwittleBee i dnt know when i switched aaaggh my shortest cycle was my last cycle 33days

Original poster
TwittleBee · 04/05/2018 18:31

thisisouryrfx18 it would be a very unusually long luteal phase if you did ovulate when FF is saying if you did have another 33 day cycle. Normal is considered 10-16 days, average being 14. So annoying you cant remember when you started vaginal temping! I suppose surely first few must be oral. It was back on the 1st when you first posted your chart and said you started our orally but switched to Vaginal if that helps jog your memory about how long before then you switched haha! I suppose it is 1st cycle charting!

OP posts:
thisisouryrfx18 · 04/05/2018 19:44

@TwittleBee i know im majorly kicking maself for not saving it in my fone when i switched i put everything else in it lol well it would make my luteal phase 18days thats not that long is it? Ppl say a 28day cycle is the norm and we all know thats bs 😂I know ive been doing it vaginally for at least a wk now and i had a dip during the last wk so surely if it was going to change it wouldve went up doing it vaginally?Confused

thisisouryrfx18 · 04/05/2018 19:55

Well ive looked through our old thread and from what ive said on that i think i started temping vaginally about the 26th

Cakelaur · 04/05/2018 20:15

@thisisouryrfx18 change everything before the 26th by 0.2 degrees. So if it's 36.2 change it to 36.4 etc. I'm pretty sure your chart will make more sense and then you'll be due to ovulate in a couple of days. 🤞🏻
