So lovely to see some BFPs, congratulations!

I have absolutely no idea what's going on this cycle. I have PCOS and cycles can range from 30 days to 60 days. Last one was 50. I took Soy Isoflavones on CD4-9 this month and have been temping. I use three different apps, just in case! They all predicted ovuation around the 11th November.

I've never had a positive OPK but for the last 7 days, they've had a faint line. It got stronger until about 4 days ago and is now fading again. I know it's still not a positive, but I've never managed to even get a faint line before. I've had loads of EWCM for the last 5 days or so. This morning, when I entered my temp into Fertility Friend, it updated itself and suggested that I actually ovulated on the 27th October. Really helpful 4 days later! The other 2 apps haven't changed their predictions.

So I might now be in the TWW, and I might not. I have no idea. I guess we have to just continue with lots of sex and hope for the best. But I'm slowly going mad trying to interpret everything.

@stroan
Have you spoken with your GP about never ovulating? Only there's a trigger injection to induce ovulation.
🤞🏻 for you x

Kelzshandalot · 02/11/2018 07:26

Hi guys, I woke up this morning feeling rotten sicky feeling sore head sore boobies I had a bit of cramping last night too :( my af is not due till Tuesday took a clearblue digital test yesterday (8dpo) and it was negative :(

First response are arriving today from amazon so I will give that a go

Fingers crossed for all u guys this month xxx

stroan · 02/11/2018 07:47

Hi @Wishful30, not this time around because they won't even discuss anything until we've been trying for 6 months. I concieved DD in Cycle 2, but I'd been temping for nearly a year so had a good amount of data to predict ovulation.

I think that i do ovulate, at least some cycles, because I have all the symptoms and get sharp ovulation pains. But I've never had a strong positive OPK for some reason.

Wishful30 · 02/11/2018 07:56

@stroan having to wait is annoying!
You could try adding in some supplements for now. Not sure which ones specifically are good to promote ovulation, but I'm now taking 6 things on top of my pregnacare.
I also see an acupuncturist, who seems to think what I have been doing has been helping.
I don't have PCOS so don't know much about natural supplements for that. I have a thin/pitted uterus and possibly small follicles.
It's quite amazing what you can do to help yourself that the doctors never mention!!
Worth a try if you're being made to wait anyway.
Fingers crossed you get your bfp before you need to see the doc again!! 🤞🏻

stroan · 02/11/2018 08:40

@wishful so annoying, especially when I know there might be issues. I just find it so frustrating to not know where I am in the cycle.

What supplements do you take? I took Soy Isoflavones early in my cycle which can apparently help to manipulate ovulation. They get called "Nature's Clomid". And I've taken Flaxseed this week to thicken the uterine lining because I figured that couldn't hurt.

Might try accupuncture next cycle. Do you have to go at a certain point in the cycle?

Fingers crossed for you too.

Wishful30 · 02/11/2018 08:56

@stroan my acupuncturist is happy with me going once every 2 weeks as I can't afford anymore. So I go before ovulation and then just before af due.
I think I prob should be going at least once a week.
Currently taking:
Vit D
Vit B6
Royal Jelly
Fish oils

Primrose oil and CoQ10 up to ovulation, with hot water bottle for uterine warming.
Force feeding myself pineapple, I've got flaxseed but forgot about it 🤦🏻‍♀️ and now try and keep my feet warm as opposed to directly on my uterus.

mrss2018 · 02/11/2018 09:39

Just had a letter following an abnormal smear- have to go in for a colposcopy on Tuesday 😭 the changes they found from the smear were severe so I assume I'll need treatment- looks like I won't be pregnant this year!! Let's hope I have a better 2019 baby wise!

loveshinealight · 02/11/2018 13:16

10 days PO and negative on a frer. I must be out 

Kelzshandalot · 02/11/2018 13:31

Aw I took a free this morning and it was negative am 10 dpo too :( am I out

ReginaPhalange89 · 02/11/2018 14:07

Can I ask when everyones opk lines usually start to darken?

I just wonder as I think the last few months I've had my positive OPK on day 16, but im on day 12 today and feel like the line is darker than it usually is at this point ! Especially for using afternoon pee, so I'm expecting this evening to be darker again

Oh no @mrss2018! I hope you're ok xx

mrss2018 · 02/11/2018 17:53

Thanks @EverythingNow just frustrated!

Nell90x · 02/11/2018 23:35

Still trying not to symptom spot and failing miserably...
currently 10 or 11 dpo. Today I noticed the slightest bit of brown cm when I wiped around lunch time today (sorry tmi). Been to the loo since and not noticed anything else until just now and there was a bit more brown cm. Is this about right for possible implantation bleeding?

jq28 · 03/11/2018 07:28

@ReginaPhalange89 I got my positive CD 17 and 18

Chanel05 · 03/11/2018 10:25

Think I’m hanging on the November bus by a foot! Pretty sure AF is coming based on when I wiped this morning 12dpo. She’ll either rear her ugly head later today or tomorrow morning. Sigh.

Wishful30 · 03/11/2018 10:46

6dpo (I think) and I've been grouchy!!
My uterus keeps feeling 'heavy' on and off.
I've decided it's all in my head, so I've been out and got more ovulation tests ready for next month 😐

FrancesV83 · 03/11/2018 14:34

AF has finally stopped (hurrah!) I’ve told hubby we’ll be dtd every other day for the rest of the month (the poor sod!)

ReginaPhalange89 · 03/11/2018 15:15

It's so difficult to DTD regularly for us ! My OH works nightshift and it just so happens his 5 days on keep falling on my fertile days 🙈 he's been coming home from work in the middle of the night but obviously he can't do it too often or he'll be in trouble lol! So I kind of have to just try and time it for whatever day I think is best 🙈

Kelzshandalot · 04/11/2018 08:26

Random question

I think I had implantation cramps late on Thursday evening the 1st of nove my ovulation was the 24th of October. I had the teeeensiest amount of brown cm when wiping yesterday (Saturday) been testing like crazy and getting bfn 😒 my af is due on Tuesday argh help help help

Wishful30 · 04/11/2018 09:13

@Kelzshandalot
You can implant anytime from day 6-12 I think, maybe right up to af as it's common to mistake it for the beginning of af.

I'm 7dpo today. I've been having a bit of creamy cm for a day or so.
This morning I noticed the tiniest, lightest brown cm.
and just now there's actually more 🤔
I've only ever once noticed implantation spotting.
I'm just hoping it's not af coming real early due to me taking progesterone last month and having a really light af.
Not tested yet as it's a bit early, and well, I've had quite a few chemicals too

Kelzshandalot · 04/11/2018 09:31

@Wishful30 I've never noticed it before either I'm just panicking because my af is due in 2 days and I'm still getting bfns 😑 this tww is the worst. I had a chemical back in September too I used a first response 45 second one this am but learnt that it had a higher imu than the actual frer 🤦‍♀️

Have all my fingers crossed for you and all the luck ur way ❤️

veeboo · 04/11/2018 09:41

Hi all. Please can I join and probably lurk? I recognise some of you from the October bus. Last cycle was (hopefully) an anomaly and went on for 60 days! I'm now cd4. Cycles (except the last one) vary from between 29-33 days so I may actually need the December bus.
I'm 31
TTC #1
Cycle 7ish

Wishful30 · 04/11/2018 10:10

@Kelzshandalot really hope it's not af for you and actually implantation instead!!

I'm tentatively felling a little positive this month as I took a break. Have been taking lots of herbal meds, eating fertility food as much as I can and had acupuncture 🤞🏻

Kelzshandalot · 04/11/2018 10:18

@Wishful30 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you 🙏🏼 🤞 for u too xx
