@Kiza I’ve attached the previous month that I properly tracked for comparison, they tend to be low then bang! I don’t get a gradual increase.

@Lozzlepop what app is that you're using for recording the OPK's?

Lozzlepop · 22/11/2019 20:48

@Shuckle I use both the Femometer and Glow apps, you can take pics of your tests on both ☺️

Kiza · 22/11/2019 21:13

@Lozzlepop maybe it'll come tomorrow then?
@ValidUser how are you? Has AF finished for you?

GalaxyGirl24 · 22/11/2019 22:24

@Lozzlepop - aw bless, it's hard as you're so happy for friends who are pregnant but also I can't help but feel a bit sad for myself, maybe that's defeatist but the trying can get overwhelming! ....also yes my DH ruined the winner for me today as he'd heard on the radio ! That sounds like a fun weekend, enjoy! :)

GalaxyGirl24 · 22/11/2019 22:25

@Lozzlepop that app looks amazing I've just downloaded it! You learn so much off mumsnet

Anny27 · 23/11/2019 08:34

Morning ladies, taking it easy here just gonna chill (might go out to nandos later as havent had an appetite the last week whilst i was recovering so its nice to want to eat again haha!)

@Lozzlepop i ovulate betweeb cd13-cd17 usually, so not too irregular, sometimes things come a bit early or later and thrre doesn't seem to be a pattern for me hahah.

@GalaxyGirl24 i use femometer too. Even when we got our bfp i didnt get a "peak" reading only a high reading :)

@SunnyFlover did you get any more information of your pregnancy? (Sorry if i missed it!)

SunnyFlover · 24/11/2019 11:00

@Anny27 ... it was a total mystery... now I think it was an af/ miscarriage at 10/11DPO, it's just totally crazy how early response picked up HCG at what I though was 21DPO...?

But if I had and af/ miscarriage at 10DPO, it matches that I ovulated 7 days ago ( tested positive in the OPK kit)... and... look what I had this morning 😳 I am totally blown away and very very scared if this little bean will stick with us or not. Still so early (6/7DPO) to test.

I don't know what happened to me last cycle... neither will I try to figure out. One day u though I had an ectopic, the next day I was thinking that I was in the next cycle already... bodies are weird!

Anny27 · 24/11/2019 11:20

@SunnyFlover mmm very strange for you! If it was a miscarriage then it perhaps still would have picked up traces of HCG afterwards at what you thought was 21dpo although didnt you test before that and it waa bfn?
(i am 11 days past start of MC and having positives still)

Fingers crossed that this one sticks! :D

SunnyFlover · 24/11/2019 12:14

@Anny27 exactly, at what I though was 21 DPO all FR pregnancy tests were faint positive ( daily decline in appearance 4 days in a row), and blood came 0,5 Hcg...

ValidUser · 24/11/2019 14:02

@Kiza thanks for thinking of me! AF is gone. This is my last hormone cycle. Due to ovulate soon.

IVF in February. I'm feeling positive!

whatsthecraic91 · 24/11/2019 18:16

Hope everyone’s had a lovely weekend!! Had a birthday party last night and I have an absolutely raging hangover - I rarely get them so unsure why! Still vomiting from this morning 😢

6DPO now hope this week flies in 🤞🏼

Kiza · 24/11/2019 18:33

@SunnyFlover so are you on a new cycle being 6/7DPO and you have another positive HPT?

@Anny27 hope you had a restful weekend, are you back to work tomorrow?
@ValidUser glad you're ok. I'm on CD 7 so will hopefully O by the time DP comes back from his trip. How are you feeling about potential IVF?

ValidUser · 24/11/2019 19:10

@Kiza at this stage I think it's a definite ivf! About 8 cycles on hormones. A few chemical pregnancies. I'm not sure my tube is too hot, and I'll need to be on blood thinners for the whole ivf cycle.

I'm really pleased to have a plan.

OP posts:
Kiza · 24/11/2019 20:07

@ValidUser can imagine having a plan and some medical intervention brings about a new optimism and hope. Do you mind me asking how many chemicals you've had? Gutted for you that 8 months of trigger shots haven't worked

Lozzlepop · 24/11/2019 20:39

Hello ladies!

Hope we are all having a great weekend! We’ve been out for lunch for our anniversary and out to a 60th last night then we painted our bedroom today so it’s been a fab weekend!

@ValidUser glad to hear that you have a plan and are feeling positive ☺️

@whatsthecraic91 I managed to dodge the hangover despite there being jelly shots ☺️😂

Still waiting on the pesky positive OPK, CD22 and counting 🙈 I’m thinking I’ve either ovulated before I started testing on CD14 or its an anovulatory cycle 🤷🏽‍♀️

SunnyFlover · 24/11/2019 20:59

@Kiza , so it seems...
@whatsthecraic91 gingers crossed!
@ValidUser great that you have a plan, hope you finally get some positive news soon, roll on February!

Anny27 · 24/11/2019 21:11

Evening :D just watching i'm a celeb and enjoyed my last day of resting before getting back to the real world tomorrow 🙈

@kiza yes back at work tomorrow - bit aprehensive but hopefully noone asks too many questions. My colleagues know i have "been ill" 😶

@lozzlepop you might have missed it, i can ovulate from day 13! Do you have regular cycles usually? P.s very productive weekend - good on you 🙌

@whatsthecraic91 hope your hangovers gone now! Haven't had a hangover in years haha!

@ValidUser good that you have a plan! Fingerd crossed everything goes well with it.

@orangeloo @MIW01 @lottiepink how are you all?

Lozzlepop · 24/11/2019 21:22

@Anny27 yeah since we started TTC I have ovulated day 18/19 the only exception being after having loses when things have been a bit delayed!

ValidUser · 24/11/2019 21:55

Thanks @Lozzlepop @SunnyFlover and @Anny27!

@Kiza 3 chemicals. I was investigated and it looks like I have antiphospholipid syndrome and clot too easily. It needs confirming, but I'm on aspirin in the meantime.

Scan tomorrow. Last trigger soon, hopefully. Then a month or two off before ivf!

OP posts:
Kiza · 25/11/2019 07:49

@SunnyFlover so it's a congrats? 🤞🏼
@Anny27 hope your first day back goes ok and not too many questions are thrown your way.

@Lozzlepop still no joy on the opk? Our bodies are so weird sometimes, you think back to when you weren't TTC and how little attention we paid to our cycles... if only we could do that now!

@ValidUser fingers crossed this last trigger shot is your BFP! Not heard of that syndrome before, but there's so much about our reproductive system that I'm learning on this journey.

Shuckle · 25/11/2019 08:22

@Anny27 thinking of you and hoping for a smooth day back at work today X

orangeloo · 25/11/2019 09:48

@Anny27 hope your first day back goes okay for you.

I'm good, currently five DPO after getting a good amount of dtd but trying not to think about it too much. Tomorrow is when I would usually start spotting so I'm hoping that doesn't happen for my BFP and hoping acupuncture is having an effect. FX.

I am hideously constipated sorry for tmi - hoping this means my progesterone is higher than normal. Any tips appreciated Confused

whatsthecraic91 · 25/11/2019 13:15

@Anny27 hope today goes well and you aren’t quizzed too much!

Still extremely ill was vomiting all yesterday and through the night - never had it this bad before so I’m hoping it’s a pregnancy symptom 😂 had to call in sick to work!! 7DPO today so I don’t think it’s a symptom but this has destroyed me, only had 1 bottle of red too 😓

Lozzlepop · 25/11/2019 20:36

@Kiza CD24 and have managed to get my highest OPK yet so guessing the cold or maybe work stress has pushed things back? Thinking I would get the positive OPK tomorrow although we are heading away on holiday so not sure if I’ll get a chance to test!

How is everyone? We’ve had such a busy weekend- I am shattered tonight so I need to pack and then get an early night for tomorrow ☺️
