I'm on CD25 AF due 2nd July, potentially no ovulation this month or my body just refuses to budge on temp 😩

If anyone else would like to join please do xx

@MichT4 yeah that makes sense, haha maybe it will just magically unwrap itself ready for testing.

@SmileyT ahh that's a difficult one like @MichT4 said do you think that you could say oh I just done one its quite dark - shall we do another for luck?

2nd July I'll test, maybe 1st. I just got some more brown tinged CM when I wiped this time, not much ewcm so would be odd for another surge wouldn't it? So very odd. X

@MichT4 yes could be the case, I'm restarting the OPKs today and will carry on DTD every other day until AF tells me otherwise. Just so exhausting especially because I thought I was in the TWW!

@mrsssk it does get exhausting. I got some dark OPKs, one which registered as peak on fenometer earlier on and we DTD for pretty much a whole week around it, every day. Then after no temp rise I started testing again and got an actual peak, which looked definite as opposed to the earlier one, so then it began again.
I didn’t mind too much because I enjoy it, but it just felt endless and I was worried he’d get bored/tired. Which I think he did, typically on one of the 2 possible ovulation days 🙄

@VP91x yeah I hate it when that happens. It’ll just end up open and then you have to use them or they might go bad 🤷🏻‍♀️
Maybe the ovu bleeding theory is right. Maybe her a quick one in incase xx

@VP91x I don’t know what that last sentence was meant to say 😂 I think I meant to say get another 🍆 in incase

@VP91x oh wow, yes, I see now, today's test is dark compared to those. I suppose you can only wait and see now. Having that appointment at the clinic may help you to relax in the meantime too.
I'm good thank you. Had a lovely day in the sunshine and feeling much more relaxed this cycle. Obviously hoping we get lucky this month but I think I'm on the same lines as @MichT4 , I'm going to expect af and not test early as the negative last month absolutely destroyed me.

Get another one in @SmileyT !! Just tell him you fancy one last go for luck 🤞🏼

@busby85 I'm glad that you are back at home and it's almost over. Hopefully the cyst will be easily sorted 🤞

I'm back home now as well. My D&C went as well as can be expected. I feel relieved but also a bit numb/empty. Now I just have to wait for the results of the genetic testing to come back. The surgeon did say I could start to TTC again after the bleeding stops.

I hope everyone is managing with this heat 🔥. Hopefully it will be a bit cooler tomorrow x

@MichT4 haha, I did try and convince OH but he declined due to my random spotting I've been having, what a twat 😂 although he asked me if I could be PG, don't know where he got that from.

Those tests will definitely go bad 😉

@Jazper yeah definitely I do feel much more relaxed now with the appt actually. Maybe my fertility will increase once they do that tube test maybe it will open them up more if thats even a thing haha. Negatives are so shit aren't they? 😩

@Quail15 I'm glad it went okay, I hope you are massively resting up over the next few days and being well looked after xx

@VP91x maybe you could be....🤞🏼 Imagine that!! Just when you have the tests booked, then you find out.
I’ll have your appointment 🤪

@Jazper glad you’re feeling more relaxed this cycle, think it makes a big difference

@Quail15 I’m glad it went as well as could be expected. I agree, rest up and treat yourself this weekend. Or even better, be treated

@busby85 did they indicate what those cysts could be causing? Glad the bleeding has subsided a bit. Look after yourself too

@MichT4 @VP91x @Jazper so he didn't know I was ovulating after the whole drama earlier this week so I just said to him that I had a twinge on my left hand side, he asked if I thought it was happening soon and I said 'yeah maybe tonight' so now I've left it up to him and won't mention it again, so there is no pressure from me, I'm so easy breezy 😬

@VP91x maybe you've just had less grapefruit juice so less EWCM but the opks will give you a clue if there is a second surge coming would be nice to see that temp rise. Does it matter where you are in your cycle for your tests? Imagine if you were pregnant already next Thursday 🙏

@SmileyT you are the queen of reverse psychology. I hope he takes the bait and you get to it 💦💦💦🍆

So the initial bloods etc don't but the HyCos and the other ultrasounds need to be done between day 4-10 in your cycle. So I'm hoping if I get AF by Thursday/Friday it will all coincide well and I can get the tests done fairly quickly. Funnily enough just read up more about the HyCos and it can apparently increase fertility for a couple of cycles after. So it might do the trick too 🤞.

I've actually been drinking the GF juice but less of the POM and completely have forgotten to take my Calc. I've been shit at the 'TWW' since I gave up 🤣🤣

@MichT4 haha not too far to Hertfordshire for it.

@VP91x and @MichT4 thank you. I have managed to rest this afternoon but I booked a week ago to go to the zoo tomorrow 😭 I might find a nice bench to sit on while my dh runs around with my DD.

@SmileyT 😁 that's usually my approach with my dh. I tell him I will be ovulating some time that week and then if it takes longer to get a positive ovulation test I just tell him I'm have 'possible ovulation pain ... Hint, hint' most of the time he will find the energy from somewhere 😂
He once asked me to be truthful about my dates and he completely fell part with the pressure 😔

@MichT4 I'm mentally prepping myself for another week of DTD in this tropical heat now 😅

@VP91x I know it's a long shot but is it at all possible you're already pregnant? With my first preganacy I only found out I was pregnant because I kept doing opks for weeks after not getting any peaks amd the test lines were really dark day after day without actually peaking. Then I read about how the opks don't distinguish between HCG a LH so did a pregnancy test and boom, positive. I know it doesn't seem likely but something to keep in mind, as others are saying how cool would it be if you didn't need to go in next week ❤

@VP91x is one of the tests the one that checks your tubes with dye? I've heard that one can increase fertility loads 🤞reverse psychology worked a treat, was getting nervous but he suggested a massage in bed and got the job done ✅

@Quail15 yeah think I'll go with this next cycle as well don't think I'll mention fertile week then just have a little nudge when I get my peak without the pressure. I have been telling him all the deets and think after a few months it's become a bit intense for him x

Hi ladies, lots to catch up on today! I’ve been a bit absent for a couple of days as I’m still just waiting to get my negative test. Just been reading through the thread. I hope everyone is well and coping in the heat... I currently can’t sleep so am propped up in bed with the fan on full blast.

@Quail15 @busby85 I hope you get some good rest and tlc at home

@VP91x Could definitely be your body trying to ovulate again... fingers crossed! Also good news about the tests being available so soon. My friend had similar done and nothing was found but it just acted as reassurance and meant she could continue ttc without any nagging worries.

@mrsssk ahh just looked on amazon and the smiley bastards seem to have gone 😫 oh well I’ll have to keep my eye out for them coming up on sale again! Thanks for the heads up they are so expensive normally.

My femometer arrived today but I’m not going to lie I’m not 100 percent how it works. I need to give all the leaflets a good read. Am I right in thinking I just download the app and can then track temp? And your bbt rises before ovulation? I’ve never used my temperature to track before. Clear blue opks also arrived just need af to come now!

@Northernsoul90 no idea girl haha sure stick it under you tongue everyday at 7am and hope for the best x
I had some spotting today, just light pink, but it's too late to be implantation I think. 12DPO, so im feeling quite disappointed. Nothing else yet but I'M not feeling positive. It's so hard to shake the disappointment isn't it? I find once the initial day or two of period passes is can look towards the next cycle but my god I'm getting weary of it.

@Quail15 ahh no 😩 is there anyway you can reschedule because of the weather? And you can rest up? Normally they let you transfer your tickets if you ring up xx

@SmileyT yeah that's the one! Ah have you? That's reassuring!! Haha, brilliant. Did you temp go up again this morning?

@1990EM oh yeah I've seen that can happen, you must have been so shocked! No, deffo not pregnant unfortunately. I think I'm just getting alot of pre-AF spotting which is annoying.

@Northernsoul90 oh that's good yeah, I'm hoping all tests come back normal and then I can get some advice on getting my cycles back on tracks. GPs just aren't really interested!

With temping you need to take it at the same time roughly each day as soon as you wake up without moving or anything first. I keep mine by my bed and just reach out for it half asleep 😂 then log the temp into the app and it will start doing your chart for you. Your temps pre ovulation are lower that post ovulation. You should see a bigger rise once you have ovulated xx

@Northernsoul90 bbt will rise after ovulation😊 so unfortunately it's not great at helping you predict ovulation, but it can help to confirm ovulation as you usually get a spike in temperature the day after. Ovulation is usually confirmed if you have a spike in temp, and then at least 3 days of high temps following that. You should take bbt at around the same time every morning, and you should have at least 3-4 hours of sleep.

Hope this helps!xx

How are you @Rainbowhope11? Xx

@VP91x hello my friend! I'm doing okay. Patiently awaiting AF. I've been googling what to do to induce AF😂 Apparently the pregnitude is a great help, so I'm hoping that it works for me. I think I've given up trying to obsess over things. Tonight I lit a candle, put a face mask on and enjoyed a lovely glass of wine 😊 I laughed when I saw your comment on forgetting about the Calc Fluor 😂 I totally forgot about it too until I read your comment 😂😂

How are you doing? I saw that you have some tests booked. What are they for if you don't mind me asking? I hope that you get the answers that you need from them ❤️

Looks like we've both had a pretty dud month, but here's hoping that things start getting a bit brighter for us Xx

@Northernsoul90 I'd definitely start temping now you have your thermometer, same time every day (or at least within an hour) pop it in your mouth, under your tongue as far back as it will go, before you do anything else including looking at phone, talking to OH etc then record it in the app. Temps should rise post ovulation and it's good to get some practice of getting consistent temp 👌🏾

@VP91x how are you feeling this morning? Feel like I might be following you with a strange cycle with temps, mine was way down this morning, but not sure OH has it in him to keep going 🤔

@Rainbowhope11 😂😂😂 can you induce AF!? Oh, that sounds like a lovely evening. I know once you give up you forget about all the concotions and move on, haha.

I'm doing okay, so it will be an overall fertility assessment. They do all your bloods etc for your AMH levels (which I need to read up on) but it estimates your egg reserve I believe. Thyroid profile, full blood count etc.

Then you'll have a 3D ultrasound of your uterus and then a HyCoSy procedure to check if your tubes are open or if any blockages and something else I need to double check. Then they give you all the results and advice on next steps - hopefully all comes back OK, I just want to know what's going on in there.

Yes, I hope you get AF soon so you can reset 🥰🥰

@SmileyT oh no! Really? Did it drop a lot? Did you change your room temp/how you slept?

I'm okay, more blood when I wiped this morning and my back feels achey/crampy now so I think AF is definitely coming. Xx

@VP91x oh wow! That sounds pretty thorough which is great😊 Good luck with that, I hope that everything turns out okay😊 Please do keep us updated on how it all goes I may start thinking about doing something like that in a month or two if things don't return to normal. My doctor doesn't seem too phased about my irregular periods post MC and Its kind of annoying really 🙄 he keeps telling me that I shouldn't stress and that it can take up to a year for healthy couples to conceive. But It's basically going to be a year soon since DH and I have been trying. This MC has really messed up my body.

Hahaha well apparently 😂🤣🤣 So after I started taking pregnitude, I started reading up more about it. Apparently it's commonly used by people with PCOS as it's supposed to regulate ovulation. Most of the reviewers said that they haven't had periods for months, and after taking pregnitude for two weeks, they were able to have a normal period. My cousin who told me about it, said that she started taking it in January last year and by March she was pregnant! For now, I'm happy if I just end up getting a normal AF so that I can predict ovulation better, instead of wasting tons of money on OPKs every month 🙈

Was down to 36.26 this morning @VP91x which wouldn't be crazy 1dpo but my temps were so high before that it's definitely a drop. I guess it's just a wait and see kinda thing. Obviously I'm hoping AF doesn't come for you but if she is coming I hope that she just comes now so that you're in the perfect stage for your tests on Thursday 👌🏾 all my apps are predicting different ovulation dates now, I hate when all the data we collect gives conflicting information, if I don't get a temp rise tomorrow I'll just assume I haven't ovulated xx @VP91x

@Rainbowhope11 I definitely will keep everyone updated! Yeah, I agree my doctor is the same about the irregular periods post-MC. They just keep saying things will settle, until its been ages they just won't do anything. Even then, it all takes ages to get done.

Oh that's really good!! I hope it helps regulate your cycles. I think once you at least are confident your cycles are roughly the same then you can try and time things more. Instead of always being on edge of when to have sex etc! Xx
