Hello @mama wow your lp is so short!! How many days is a cycle for you?
Welcome to the thread 💖

Well, glow thinks I’ve ovulated, opks got a little darker but not positive, ovusense temp went up today but I drank a couple of glasses of wine and the hotel room is very warm, so I think I’m still in waiting... DH is marathoning in a chilly but sunny Paris today. Perfect weather for it but he’s not been well either so not trying to PB (trying to drag a friend around instead!). In the mean time, I now have funky ear drops as ear is still not right. How are you @hopefulprincess? How long til O is predicted?

MamaGeordie · 14/04/2019 20:42

@Hopefulprincess I know. My usual cycles are 23 days so if that's correct this cycle my LP would be hideously short due to OV on day 15. 7-8 day LP doesn't sound fruitful at all.
How're you getting on?
Hope your husband managed ok in his marathon @Kiskacsa

Kiskacsa · 14/04/2019 21:23

If you LP is clearly short @mamageordie then at least there are things they can do :-) worth tracking opks in an app or other documented way to demonstrate to a HCP at some point. DH ended up effectively pacing his friend for 3/4 of the race but then had to stop - he’s still on antibiotics, and his skin blew up due to very very high tree pollen today, so was miserable. Less so after a nice meal :-) my opks are back to zilch so I’m hoping I’ve ovulated - suspect it was another failed attempt though.

MamaGeordie · 14/04/2019 23:21

@Kiskacsa bless your hubs - that sounds very unpleasant but at least you had yourselves a nice meal. Crossing my fingers for success for you this cycle.
I'm a massive over thinker so it could just be that my cycles are off because of my miscarriage a couple of cycles ago...I don't know. I'm thinking supplements would be a good bet next cycle if no luck this time.

Hello all

Am ok. So disappointed again but fertile period is in a few days and DH is home for ten days. So fingers crossed! Again

Been getting these last few days so I’m guessing o isn’t too far away although going by app it’s 5 days away 🤷‍♀️
@mrsawhite good luck 🤞
@kisk oh no poor dh!!! Did he enjoy it though? And I hope you did o 🤞

Morning ladies, I'm cd36 today, done a frer this morning, bfn as predicted, I should have ovulated about 2 weeks ago, so I'm expecting af to arrive any day now as I've woke with back pains (the usual symptom of af coming!)
Question though, how long do you think I'll need to wait before asking to be referred for fertility treatment? It took 3.5years, lots of failed fertility treatment, an op (ovarian drilling) and more clomid before I fell pregnant with my daughter. I also have pcos which is the reason for the treatment. I just dont want to waste too many months trying unaided if it wont stick without the help from the specialists.

Kiskacsa · 16/04/2019 18:09

Didn’t ovulate - plunging temp today. CD30 and still waiting. Thoroughly miserable - my opks have never been that dark @hopefulprincess. Always a line but usually faint. Think my ovaries are on strike post mc :-( knowing my luck, if ovulation happens, it’ll be whilst I’m away from DH for 5 days next week.

@vanilladream - have you looked into ovusense? It really helps you track down if ovulation has happened or not because it is a good thermometer (much more accurate than bbt).

Vanilladream · 16/04/2019 20:55

@kiskacsa I haven't, but I will now! It's just so hard. I need to purchase some opks too as the ones I had left over expired in 2015!! Lol. I did wonder why I wasnt getting any lines! I hate the tww, I felt so optimistic at ovulation time, and now I'm wondering if I even ovulated at all. I really hope your ovulation times line up with your hubby being home!! Xx

mrsawhite · 17/04/2019 08:06

Trying to play it all down this month. We've not really discussed it. Keeping it light. Obv trying to dtd as much as possible. Maybe less stress will help 🤷‍♀️

@vanilla inform your doc your trying and how long it’s been 💖
@kisk I don’t think I’v ovulated this month il attach pic but there’s no positive and yes to be fair sometimes get solid line any random time 😂 I didn’t feel the o which I normally do too so il class today as 1dpo going by darkest opk 2 days ago and hope for the best 🙈 I’m going to book appt to see if anything they can do yet as has been over a year and no sticky bean xx

Happy Easter all! Hope you’re having sunny Sunday’s. Fingers crossed for you @hopefulprincess - have your opks died away?

MamaGeordie · 21/04/2019 20:40

I got a faint line on a First Response rapid results test today. Praying it's sticky! 9dpo first BFP after early mc.
How's everyone going?

Still dtd every day when possible just incase but taking it easy with the obsessing this month 🙈 if it doesn’t work then I’m going to see what help I can get 💖

OP posts:
mrsawhite · 23/04/2019 07:49

Also trying not to obsess! Ovia moved my ovulation dates twice this month. Very annoying. But classing myself as 3 or 4dpo too.

Hopefulprincess · 23/04/2019 20:46

I don’t get why it does it when I put strong opk it moved fertile window to the week previous! It’s good job dtd otherwise would have missed it. Assuming I o’d .
Today has been odd cooking dinner I went all hot and dizzy had to run to loo as thought was going to be sick, hour previous to that had cramps in tummy and small back ones otherwise since then I feel fine! I think I’m 6dpo but guess could be anything

OP posts:
Kiskacsa · 24/04/2019 20:50

Well, I got my strongest opk but still not peak the day I flew away from DH for a week 🤦🏻‍♀️ Sigh. Although transatlantic travel/jet lag may well scupper ovulation anyway, so who knows. Long cycle, currently on cd37 and no sign I’ve ovulated.

mrsawhite · 24/04/2019 21:57

@Hopefulprincess i know. I put in symptoms and Ovia moved it twice. But I think I know when I ovulated. Just have to wait and see now. When are you due on?

Hopefulprincess · 25/04/2019 22:23

@kisk typical!!!!! 🙄🙈 lets hope youv got time and after waiting it’s delayed!
Did you go anywhere nice?
@mrsawhite it’s annoyin when that happens! I’m 8dpo (I think)
Feel so sick! Bloated and cramps but cramps are normal But nausea for a couple of days now 🤷‍♀️ I’m not holding out much hope that’s probably why I’v not tested yet when we all know I’m an addict 😂 I don’t think I even o’d but for the fun il test in morn as I believe that to be 9dpo
