Thought the old one was getting a bit full so I'd start a new one. I'll attempt tagging as many as I can

@larrydavid I've had to create a new thread with photos as it won't let me post on here. It's called 'am I seeing things'

Robbo93 · 31/08/2019 21:37

Hi 👋
Can I join please?

I'm 25 TTC#1 and feeling slightly disheartened that it hasn't happened yet.
I came off the pill in January and have had bleeds every month.

Just need some moral support really as I'm starting to doubt whether it will ever happen xx

flossy12 · 31/08/2019 22:01

@Motherofkittens28 maybe! I don't normally get cramps until the day of AF and then writhing 20 mins I will start to bleed so I've no idea what's going on, I'm charting everything too 😅

Kiza · 31/08/2019 22:38

@Anny27 we sometimes have a slightly elevated LH during our menstrual cycle and then it dips and then rises again to a peak during ovulation. I've been tracking my opks since CD 3 for the last 3 cycles and have seen this trend happen for me each time now. The Femometer app helps to determine the difference between high and peak with numerical readings.

@MrsH497 glad you had a lovely time away and enjoyed your freebie from the wedding venue. Sounds like it was just what you needed!

@Larrydavid A bird pooped on your head?! OMG😳🤦🏼‍♀️ I must've missed that chat?!

Absa · 31/08/2019 23:27

Wow... this shows what a mission fertilising an egg is!!

flossy12 · 31/08/2019 23:43

@Absa poor little fellas 😅😅

Kiza · 01/09/2019 13:16

Do any of you ladies track your cervical positioning? And if so do any of you have a tilted uterus? I'm beginning to try and track but everything that's written online about the variations of cervical positioning is based on a standard front tilted uterus. 🤷🏼‍♀️
So what is high/low based on finger knuckles doesn't necessarily apply to me as mine sits differently... just wondered if there's someone on here in a similar boat?

ValidUser · 01/09/2019 13:48

@Kiza in spite of knowing the anatomy well, I often can't locate mine with my hand.

So I definitely have an early AF. Wondering if I did have another chemical.

Might ask about going on progesterone this month. LP was never that short before.

Kiza · 01/09/2019 17:05

@ValidUser really? I think with mine being introverted I can locate it easily... however doctors struggle during smears!
How's the bleeding, has it eased up or gotten heavier?

Blossomingflower94 · 01/09/2019 17:13

@Kiza I have a retroverted uterus but have never attempted to feel for cervix position. As far as I know it doesn't affect fertility.

Sunshine8888 · 01/09/2019 17:43

@Anny27 so I had super high LH levels on cycle day 40 (on the ferometer app it was at peak 200). It turned out I was actually pregnant. Apparently ovulation sticks can’t really differentiate between LH and HCG. I know you said you have AF atm though so that is a bit odd! Although I think after a CP it can take a while for HCG levels to drop - perhaps this is affecting your LH results?

@Kiza I was trying to do this! I would say low is like first knuckle, medium second and high when you can barely reach it

ValidUser · 01/09/2019 18:34

@kiza it got heavier and now seems to have stopped after only 3 days. AF would have been due today or tomorrow.

Clots and all, so definitely don't think it was anything other than AF. Just a really strange one!

How is everyone this evening? Had good weekends?
I'm crampy this evening but as I have no idea what DPO I am whether I did ovulate or not it's a guessing game. AF technically due Saturday but if I ovulated late might be a few days later. Who knows lol

Motherofkittens28 · 01/09/2019 22:03

Hey @MrsH497, I'm feeling a bit low today. My impatience got the better of me and I did another test, which was negative. It's still technically early so it could be wrong but we will see. I had a little cry about it. AF is due on Saturday, although last month I had tiny bits of spotting from the Thursday. I guess we'll see at the end of this week. I'm never late so if AF hasn't arrived by Sunday I'll test again. Hope everyone else is doing ok!

itssquidstella · 01/09/2019 22:05

Hi @MrsH497 I'm losing hope even though I'm only 10dpo. I just want it to be Friday so I know for sure that I'm out!

Kiza · 01/09/2019 22:42

@Blossomingflower94 yeah I heard that too which is a relief, @sunshine it's a bit different with an introverted uterus as our cervix sits differently to a normal one. Maybe I just need to check every day to get used to mine 🤷🏼‍♀️

@ValidUser oh bugger that definitely sounds like AF, how strange that it came so early but was also super short?

flossy12 · 01/09/2019 23:08

@MrsH497 are you testing Saturday??

Original poster
MrsH497 · 02/09/2019 05:20

@flossy12 I'm not sure given that I had high OPKs on cd17 and 18 there's a chance I ovulated late so unless my luteal phase is changing and getting shorter I shouldn't come on Saturday more like next week sometime. Oh I don't know lol

OP posts:
flossy12 · 02/09/2019 06:10

My positive OPK was on the 19th and cycles are normally 32-34 days long but I'm testing Saturday 😆

@flossy12 maybe I will! I'm trying to be relaxed about it all!

12DPO and BFN for me this morning. Feeling down in the dumps. Can feel AF coming so will log out for this week and try and bring my mood up for this next lot of trying.

Good luck to you all. I'll keep following your progress but won't necessarily post for a week or two. Need to have some 'me' time.

Hi everyone,

First time poster here.

TTC #1

I am looking for advice - I’ve been using clear blue digital since Thursday, and getting negatives. I got another negative yesterday morning but we DTD anyway. Later that afternoon I could feel stabbing pains in both ovary areas, first on the left and a little bit later, on the right so I took an internet cheapie and it was quite dark but not as dark or darker I would say. This morning when using my clear blue I got a peak static smiley, so I’ve skipped high and gone straight to peak? I’m not sure we will get chance to DTD again...do you think I would be in with a shot just with yesterday’s BD?

flossy12 · 02/09/2019 10:57

@MrsH497 me too, apparently AF is due 8th but I'm busy at the weekend so need to know if I can have a drink or not 🙅🏼‍♀️

MrsH497 · 02/09/2019 11:44

@flossy12 I'm apparently due on 7th but with the weird OPKs and weird cycle last month I'm not sure. In someways it's nice having a mystery cycle but I'm a control freak!

flossy12 · 02/09/2019 11:54

@MrsH497 yeah I'm the same 😅 trying to be all cool and calm but I'm excited already
