End of November, jump on board pt 2!

Ladies from the other thread, we have reached 1000! We need to start a new one!

@nt1992 hmm, keep an eye on it. Not sure how the cheap strips work. The cb ones detect a surge in LH and oestrogen. Sometimes it high fertility for ages because oestrogen keeps going up and up. I would say monitor it and see

@mellymoo86 I will keep checking. So confusing

@CiaraJ01 last month ovulation started on day 11 peak at day 18. I'm on day 11 of this cycle the now

@nt1992 then maybe it's picking up a rise in oestrogen only and when you peak is when LH is detected 🤷🏽‍♀️

@mellymoo86 god knows, maybe my urine was too diluted?

@nt1992 You can get more than one surge, those strips measure the LH surge as your body prepares to ovulate. They don't actually show whether you have ovulated just the surge in hormones. Think you can only confirm ovulation by temping or scan.

So it's possible you had a surge but haven't ovulated yet and will get another surge later in cycle.

I've had dark lines since 16th so mega confused what's happening in there.

@Waiting1987 oh god it's going to be a long month waiting this out not knowing if I've ovulated when I thought I had😂

@nt1992 are your periods regular?

@PandaPink usually like clockwork

I think I could just be at the start of my ovulation, it starts tomorrow peaking on 30th finishing on 2nd. Will keep taking the strips to see.

@nt1992 how long are your cycles?

@PandaPink 30 days I think x

@nt1992 that's fine! I also ovulate btw cd11-cd14.
So you are in for the 2ww darling!

@mellymoo86 is it 100% true that we ovulate ONLY ONCE in a cycle.

@PandaPink congratulations!!!

@Louu99 been reading your posts up to date, hope your ok lovely. Have you got a strong support network? Xx

@PrettyGirl5545 yup, you ovulate once every cycle. Whether you release one or two eggs is what causes twins to be born but you ovulate only once.

This period needs to hurry up and arrive!! I feel so sick! I even did a test when I came home as I felt sick. BFN. So I know it's not pregnancy sickness!

@PrettyGirl5545 has my fertile window been and gone then🤦🏽‍♀️ feel silly now as only dtd last night feel like I've been robbed😞

@nt1992 the tests can still show your hormones are high before you actually ovulate. Have you taken a clear blue one to make sure?

@Skygirl1983 do you normally feel sick before AF? Sounds like you don't. How odd..

@mellymoo86 no but I've took a strip not long ago and the second line is barely there

@nt1992 yeah I saw that...if you're sure that you normally ovulate later on in your cycle then keep tracking it, you never know. I would dtd every other day during the window to be on the safe side

@mellymoo86 no I dont. I felt nauseous on Saturday night too. Felt like it all afternoon. It might just be a bug as my tests are negative. I thought you could only get pregnancy related sickness if you are producing hcg. I think I'm just in for a rough few days. AF due tomorrow.

Too many of you have checked in on me to @ everyone, thank you lovelies 😘

I think I'm having a quarter/mid life crisis. Feeling down about the loss, and generally just a bit lost in life. I don't know what I want to do, what to do for the best, or anything.

Are any of you happy in your jobs? Knew what you wanted to do and went for it? X

@Louu99 Sending you hugs, use this forum to off load, people here can relate.

@Louu99 Cross-posted ;-)
Nothing wrong with taking stock of life, whichever part of it you are in. I am late thirties and woul say I have settled for the job i am in. Not happy but not unhappy either. Doesn't bring me absolute fulfilment in life but provides a lot in terms of practicalities.

Are you considering a career change?
