@VP91x - please add me! I've just started using the OvuSense and it's incredible how it measures your BBT. I think I may have had the ovulation dip yesterday. Just waiting to see what happens over the next couple of days. I'm now CD16.
This is my second month trying after a molar pregnancy at the end of last year. Prior to that I also had two MC. My husband and I have been trying since August of last year. Fingers crossed and baby dust to everyone it happens for us all soon 🤞🏼😘

@Northernsoul90 where u getting flashy smileys or the empty circle before u got ur static?

I’ve decided to take a back seat approach this month lol so I just tested this morning first time and it was neg. not tempting anymore either. Feel so relaxed

@HopeForRainbowbaby I’m
On the grapefruit juice also lol must get some Pom juice for after ovulation where do U get it from

@2020wish I’m glad you are feeling relaxed this month, it all gets a bit much sometimes doesn’t it. I’ll have to try some Pom and grapefruit juice will pick some up!

No it was the first cb I did this month and went straight to static. I did some one step as well which I don’t think I had a peak on the app said high but not peak and then low today. Again I’m not convinced though, not holding out hope of conceiving really this month I was just more wanting to know if I would ovulate and get af soon as a signal of my body getting back to normal xx

@MichT4 haha aw that's so good you have someone else to talk to about it. Im sure she is so excited for you!

@Northernsoul90 the CB sticks when they are new or have reset themselves after 48hrs will always show a blank circle the first time you use them because it uses that as a baseline to then give you your flashing /static smiley when it detects another surge. If you got a static the other day it's likely that you ovulated. It would only have gone to static straight away if your LH was super high which seems like it was 🥰x

@2020wish hey! CD6 here, taking soy, drinking my juices and waiting until testing time on OPKs xx

@GraceG26 so sorry! I thought I had everyone. Ooh is it worth it then? What is the app like with all the data?xx

@Northernsoul90 fingers crossed it was true ovulation. Maybe just keep DTD when you feel like it and keep urself covered. U never know x

@VP91x how are things with you? Have u sussed your ovulation out yet or still having really long cycles? Did you go private?

Report
VP91x · 04/07/2020 16:37

@2020wish definitely didn't ovulate last cycle. AF came after 5/6 days of funny bleeding/spotting. On CD6 now. Didn't go private as my GP referred me for an ultrasound so going to wait for that appt. If it takes ages I will rebook the private appt. Taking soy isoflavones this cycle to hopefully bring forward ovulation (and it actually happen)! Xx

@MichT4 glad you told your sis and she will help you, hope you have fun tonight 🥳 I will definitely have your back throughout x

@VP91x yeah just got in from work, was actually quite nice as I get so much admin done on a Saturday because most people don't know I'm working and don't bother me 👌🏾 lucky OH getting relegated, at least it wasn't during FW... yeah at could definitely have been a hormone dip but you know me I'm just going for my positive thinking about next cycle so I don't get too hyped this week and can just get on with it. Let's see what happens next weekend, although I'm still hopeful for August for some reason. How was the rest of your day? Glad you enjoyed Frozen, controversial but I loved some of the songs in this one more than 1 - although 'do you want to build a snowman' is still my fave 🎶

@Rb486 I definitely screenshotted that post with the positive affirmations they are lovely and will definitely use them if I ever get my bfp x

@Northernsoul90 yeah if you've got up it won't be your BBT and might not give you a clear pattern x

@Bellabubble yeah I think all the apps take a few days as an ovulation shift is determined by 3 higher temps than the previous 6 so it doesn't know whether it's a sustained shift for 3 days x

@Hayleylou89 ahh didn't realise you weren't allowed your hubby into your scans the ones by me think partners can go now, hopefully this will change by you by your later scans x

So I've officially lost DP to the pub but that means I have the sofa and TV to myself until he comes home drunk at some point 😂

@VP91x fingers crossed the soy iso work. I read up on them and seen good things for women with cycles similar to yours so hopefully. I decided against then for me as my cycles have went back to normal(I think).

@SmileyT aw haha well at least u get some time to urself lol I’ve booked me and Dh away next weekend for my birthday. So looking forward to that after these few months

@Hayleylou89 how are u? Thought I’d update and tell you that we have noticed a massive difference with the hcg! This will be week 5/6 for him and when reading up on it it says it takes that length off time to kick in. We didn’t see any benefit last cycle. He’s more energy, moods are lifted and his drive and stamina have definitely returned lol

@2020wish so good to hear from you. I'm D1PO so officially starting the dreaded TWW. I was very calm this cycle but it was OH who totally lost it the other day. But we are both a bit better now. Although I spent the afternoon watching pregnancy announcement videos on YouTube and now I'm a hormonal mess!

@MichT4 so glad you told your sister. It all starts to feel real when you announce it. Enjoy it xo

Aw happy to have shared and hope it can help those of have their BFP and those of us when we do get them! Where’s everyone from? I’m from Kent and it’s so miserable here today. The trip to Devon sounds lovely, enjoy 😊 Xx

Northernsoul90 · 04/07/2020 17:07

@2020wish yes I think that’s what I’m going to do just keep dtd when we feel like and trying to not overthink too much x

@VP91x @SmileyT thank you, I need to remember to do it as soon as I wake up I just need to get into a routine with it x

@VP91x what does the soy iso do? I think when af arrives I’m going to stock up on some Pom juice and different things to get prepared for the cycle. I just take vitamin d and then separate folic acid with b12 at the minute. I found both the pregnacare and seven seas multi vits gave me headaches so have avoided so far x

Omg @chloedancer897 I did that the other day and watched someone’s fertility planner etc and was also watching others miscarriage videos. It’s just crazy how many of us are going through this crazy journey. Why do we do it to ourselves and watch them though? Hmm lol!

@SmileyT ah yeah a weekend day is so good for admin, you're right. Glad it was a good day. Haha yeah, poor him. He got a morning to himself though whilst I went to mums so all good. Haha yeah, I'll be over here quietly cheering you on for this cycle, don't mind me 👀😂. I loved it so much! Think even more than the first. Although my OH and I had a debate on what happens to Elsa in the end!

Haha aw no!! Hope you've got a wine too! Anything good lined up to watch?

@2020wish yeah that makes sense if your cycles are back to your norm. Fingers crossed it is lucky for us both.

@Rb486 I'm in Hertfordshire 🥰 weather also crappy here!

@Northernsoul90 it is meant to be like a natural clomid (drug that stimulates ovulation)

You can either take it cd1-5, cd2-6, cd3-7, cd4-8, or cd5-9. The earlier in your cycle you take it your body will produce more eggs but they won’t be as mature, the later you take it you will only produce one good egg but it will be the best quality.

Apparently most take it on 3-7 which is what I have gone for. Produces a few more eggs, and all are of good quality. Only recommend if you have lots of irregular cycles or aren't ovulating every month xx

@chloedancer897 yay the tww! Sorry to hear he lost it. Men can really crumble under pressure. But then I’m like all they have to do it DTD we have to do all the tracking and stressful stuff lol but glad you have sorted it all now. I know isn’t it a horrible day today? I’m heading to helens bay soon near Bangor for a walk with the kids. Get some fresh air lol

@VP91x also forgot it say it sounds wise the go for the nhs appointment first but as you say at least you know how to go the private route if it is taking too long

@VP91x I have only been using the sensor for a couple of days. I am interested to see how it goes over the next few days. I have my fingers crossed that ovulation is happening!

Will you be adding dates to the list of names? Sometimes dates are shared as to when AF is due so we can all see when we are able to test 🤷🏻‍♀️

Report
VP91x · 04/07/2020 18:18

If everyone pops a date that they will probably test when they next post on here then I'll compile it together over the next couple of days and post it so everyone can see @GraceG26 oh sounds promising let me know how you get on with it xx

Wow so much has happened in 1 day. Massive congrats to @MichT4 ! So happy for you x

I'm on CD2 after AF showed up yesterday. 1st one after MC it's waaay heavier and more painful than normal, did anyone else have this?

Looking to go into this cycle super positive, I'm gonna start trying the juices I've seen recommended here, am I right in thinking you drink grapefruit until you ovulate then switch to pomegranate? Any other tips? I already take vitamins and folic acid.

@Rb486 great commandments, I've saved them for the future thank you
