@Anny27 good luck for tomorrow morning 🤞🏻😘 xx

Anny27 · 24/01/2020 06:14

Bfn for me! Maybe a SLITHER of a line but nothing to get excited about, had to squint and even then could be an indent Haha

Gems7 · 24/01/2020 07:14

@Anny27 There's still time yet..

Today is CD13 for me and according to my app the day I have ovulated for the last 2 months! The pink clear blue OPK's still haven't given me a smiley face so far though and I've been using them since last Saturday.. starting to lose bloody hope! 😫

How's everyone else? Xx

Ellsbells112 · 24/01/2020 08:55

@Gems7 hmm I don't know much about the pink ones but maybe now start doing them morning and evening??

I got a flashing smiley today but no sign of any ewcm, I normally ovulate on cd15 and I get a peak fertility on the day of my temperature rise, I'm cd12 today! Normally only get flashing 1-2 days prior to peak, should I start this evening? Thing is I took that letrozole and I have been worried it will change my ovulation date, it also interferes with ewcm. Production but I've been taking evening primrose oil to help that along.

My cervix feels higher than normal but not as high and soft when peak fertile. The thing is I don't want to dtd today if I have to do Saturday and Sunday, I kind of want to just those 2 days so maybe the sperm is stronger but I'm worried lol I don't want to miss ovulation. Ffs the stress is real. What should I do? Just dtd anyway? I wanna see ewcm 😩

Ellsbells112 · 24/01/2020 08:57

I think I'm going to do it today, it'll be late anyway moreso early hours of Saturday, then Saturday evening and Sunday, we'll, until my temperature rise

Gems7 · 24/01/2020 13:15

@Ellsbells112 The stress is very real! It feels like work! 😤 for me DTD like this trying to conceive every month is taking the enjoyment out of it, it's so difficult to remain positive.
I didn't know they use Letrozole these days, it used to be clomifene, is this your first cycle on them?
If I were you I would just DTD from tonight, you don't want to miss it and like you said it will be late anyway won't it
We are DTD every other day, and have been all week but with the absence of that smiley face I'm not convinced I'm even ovulating this month to be honest. I am only using the OPK's first thing in the morning at the mo, I will take your advice and use them in the evening aswell for the next few days. My Gp won't even send me for a scan until we have been trying for 12 months 😞 and I'm 35 I'm not in my twenties anymore!

@Robbo93 Has AF arrived yet hun?

Ellsbells112 · 24/01/2020 14:27

@Gems7 I didn't get them from my doctor, bless my sister she gave me one months supply so I'm like omg I have to get everything right this month lol because that's it after.
I know its bloody awful, I feel like as well because it's taking so long I'm like well it's obvi not going to happen there's an issue but I know it CAN argh it's just doing my head in, obvi you too!!

Yeah I just saw ewcm so ill defo do tonight... And go through it every evening till temperature rise to be sure!

But hold on if you're 35 shouldn't it be 6 months and then seen?

Anny27 · 24/01/2020 14:31

@Gems7 how long have you been trying? Yeah I have heard it is 6 months for 35+

@ellsbells112 yayy for EWCM!!

Think I am out girls, brown spotting today at 12dpo :( literally wanna cry

Robbo93 · 24/01/2020 16:41

@Gems7 nooooope 🙈

Gems7 · 25/01/2020 14:50

Sorry girls I didn't explain myself very well there, so we have been trying 7 months now. I have been seen by my own GP, she did 21 day bloods in October and November, both showed low progesterone (not massively low I think one was 28.5 and the other slightly lower) she didn't seem bothered about it though.. (although I am) anyway that's all that's happened so far as it's a "two way process" and she won't refer me for any scans etc until my OH has had his sperm tested.. personally I think she could still refer me in the meantime but she won't. And my OH's GP won't do anything with him because they say we need to have been trying for 9-12 months.. even though my OH is even older than me.. so we are a bit stuck at the moment! 😣

@Ellsbells112 yey for the Letrozole, that's really lucky, fingers crossed they work for you this cycle, I really hope they do hun xx

@Robbo93 I'm sorry you're still waiting hun 😞 it's shit!! Xx

@Anny27 Any developments since yesterday?

I'm still getting a big round circle on the clearblue OPK's, don't know what the chuff is going on! I've only been doing them first thing in the morning but I'm thinking I can't be ovulating this month. I'll buy the purple ones for next month and try again!

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend so far! Xx

Gems7 · 25/01/2020 16:05

Holy shit! I have just had some EWCM.. literally just messaged my OH and told him to get the hell home RIGHT NOW!! can you still have EWCM and not ovulate? I don't care, I'm DTD just in case! Xx

Ellsbells112 · 25/01/2020 20:15

@Gems7 just do it do it do it!! Woohoo!! Haha enjoyyyyyy xx

Gems7 · 25/01/2020 22:37

@Ellsbells112 it was such a comedy moment!! "Right babe, job done, can I go back to the pub now? I was in the middle of a darts game" 🤣
Of course pal!! (Whilst I'm led with my legs in the air like phoebe from friends) much obliged 🙈🙊 xx

Ellsbells112 · 25/01/2020 23:09

@Gems7 😂😂😂😂😂 you're so funny!!!!! Hahaha that's hilarious, satisfaction at its finest! Last night was far from enjoyable LOL it was really hard for me to enjoy it! Urghh then I was drinking the wine getting in the mood and we've had to go somewhere quickly 🍷🙄🙄 when I get back in the house I'm downing a glass and telling him to get his ass to bedroom!! No ewcm for me today just yesterday but no. Bbt rise either xx

Gems7 · 26/01/2020 08:07

@Ellsbells112 😂 it's so not sexy at times is it!

I've just got a solid smiley face on the OPK's, I could actually cry right now! I must ovulate later than my app tells me I do. I am CD15 today

Big hugs to all you girlies

Anny27 · 26/01/2020 08:58

@Gems7 @Ellsbells112 especially the close it gets to ovulation, the least sexy haha. DH has said "let's get it over with before dinner" in the past 🤣🤣🤣

BFN for me at 14dpo today so guessing I am out! I can feel AF coming too and having brown spottint

Ellsbells112 · 26/01/2020 09:14

@Gems7 like I said it depends everyone is different, I get a solid smiley once I've actually ovulated! So today I've had another flashing smiley and tomorrow I'm hoping I get a solid and a bbt rise to confirm ovulation. Its great that you've got a solid though, dtd for the next 3 days I'd say! Just in case :) and yeah the apps are wrong they just estimate I don't go on the apps anymore I just input data needed and use it as a loose guide, before I was dtd as soon as I saw green lol and I ovulate at the end of the green days haha xx

@anny27 Ahhh sorry girl hope it stays at bay for you xx

Robbo93 · 26/01/2020 10:56

@Gems7 omg that's hilarious! Don't think my DH would make a special trip home to DTD haha 😂

Soooo CD66 for me today. I've had a little bit of pink mucus this morning too.
This has been my temps this week. All in the 35 degree region apart from this morning which was 36.10 (I've been taking my temps a bit earlier then I did this morning - but all have been when I've woken up) what are your thoughts?

Early December testing?
Anny27 · 26/01/2020 11:36

AF arrived! No wonder I was feeling moody and grumpy this morning!!! Onto the next cycle 🙄

@Robbo93 continue taking it over the next few days and if it stays high for 3 days that can indicate ovulation 🤞

Gems7 · 26/01/2020 12:18

@Anny27 sorry AF came 😟 on the positive side, ovulation day is getting closer again now, so you can get cracking again! Xx

@Ellsbells112 how do you get your solid smiley once you've already ovulated? 😱 I didn't even know that could happen. You're so much more educated than I am about it all 😁 I'm so glad you're here, you're a fountain of knowledge!

@Robbo93 He was only watching football and playing darts with the lads and the pub is literally 5 minutes away from where we live.. haha but at this time of the month he does as he's told 😂👌🏻
I don't really know anything about temping unfortunately, I've never done it. I did buy a thermometer but then forgot to do it every single morning before I got out of bed, I don't think I even remembered once 🙈

Xx
