Ovulation buddies starting July 8-14

[Tiff94]

Hey everyone,

Anyone else just started ovulation or about to start in the next week. Let's start a chat and keep ourselves busy as we head through ovulation and the dreaded 2WW.

Little about me this is my 2 cycle at TTC Baby no.1 I'm about to start ovulation on fri or sat, so going to make the most of this week. I've ordered some IC ovulation sticks hopefully will arrive in next couple days and I will give them a try out. What is everyone else doing to prepare themselves for ovulation???

@Gab101 FRER can detect 6.5 miu/ul where digital one needs 25 miu/ul.
Dont panic give 2 days of rest for yourself and test on monday.
I know it's easier said than done. Maybe you can recheck with FRER or CB again to be assured and to be calm.

@Shinea

Thing is when I got my bloods taken on Wednesday I was level 8ml HCG so surely I'd be 25 by now 2 days later. Think that's why I've been extra paranoid because I know that's slow but some do start very low

@Gab101 everyone's body is unique, dont panic stay calm. Wait for couple of days and retest.
Stay positive

@Shinea thanks so much for your advice, sometimes you need to be reminded to calm down! Appreciated

@Gab101 stay calm I'm sure everything is okay. I've read that your hcg level double every 48/72 hours so maybe your levels just aren't up enough and I think you may have diluted your urine with water 💧wait it out a couple days let your levels go up a bit and make sure you hold on for about 4+ hours if you can. I just did my last two tests I have in the house my digital and and ic the ic is still very faint but digital says pregnant 🤰

Well no AF yet but not testing till Monday!

Yeah try to stay calm @Gab101 remember false negatives do happen!!

@Tiff94 ah lovely to see that result 🥰

@lastbany when was AF due for you again?

Xx

@beckyBP today xx

@lastbany eek me too! Nothing yet.

I think I'm going to get a test once I finish work (5pm) no AF, sick last night and had some yellowy ish CM (sorry if TMI)

Xx

@beckyBP ahhh strange! I feel sick as a pig but still I do get times like tht ! I'm so bloated and cramping I just dunno I am like clockwork usually

@lastbany @beckyBP I'm got my fingers crossed for you girls. No AF is the best sign. Hopefully your BFP will appear over the weekend .

Well AF not arrived today and cramps have stopped! I feel really shit thou! Bad headache and just sick! Felt red hot all day and also sweaty (which I never am) so I'm wondering if coming down we something and Maye this why I'm late 💁🏼‍♀️🤷‍♀️

AF was due today. My body is like clockwork! I need to stop being so crazy! Thanks for calming me down ♥️♥️

Yay @Gab101 chuffed for you!! Hope you feel better now xx

@Gab101 I'm so happy for you. That's such great news. Now no more testing haha 😂 I've stopped now to just wait.

@lastbany I hope this it it for you. I've been feeling sick myself and very hot I feel I am.

@Tiff94 thanks ♥️ I have a blood test on Monday to check my levels have gone up since they were so low and it would be great peace of mind but to I really wanna wait two days of feeling anxious for the results even though I know I am .... but if something's wrong I'll regret not going! Ahhh

@Tiff94 gonna buy a prope rest today ws still no AF

@Gab101 least you get bloods done I've found out they don't even do bloods here in the uk until your almost 10 weeks. My first app with anyone isn't until end of sept. I literally thought I'd been seen by someone this week. To confirm the hcg level but nope.

@lastbany grab a pink dye test I found they worked better then the Blue dye it was very faint the two I did.

@Tiff94 I can go in and request a blood test can you not do that at home? Maybe I'll get through some stuff here that I wouldn't normally before I get home... so you have to wait all that time?!

@Gab101 I've spoke to my gp, midwife and the maternity unit and I've been told no one will see me until at least 10weeks so I feel so in limbo. I'd like to confirm but nope. Kinda wish I was in Aussie right now I know the docs there see you straight away

Hello! I’m looking for a bit of rant/ wisdom around ovulation! I started tracking ovulation after my Last period. I’m on day 8 of tracking it and am on day 17 of my cycle according to Ovia, but not had a positive LH test yet! I’m pretty annoyed! I know that the first month tracking it is nothing really but I guess I was stupidly expecting to ovulate normally etc. Has anyone else had a positive test after day 17 of their cycle? My periods are so heavy and the pain is utterly vile, so I’ve been ranting to my friend that if I’ve endured horrific periods for years and then don’t ovulate, I may as well give up now! Haha. I am 40, tried briefly for a baby 4 years ago but life has got in the way, a house move, a spell of depression, problems at work, then my dad dying, just loads of stupid things that made it the last thing on my mind really. I’ve always wanted kids and assumed I’d have them so feel like a bit of a twat at this point. Anyway, hopefully it’s not too late and some of you will have experienced these kind of feelings as well! I think it’s always lovely to start everyday pissing in a cup and testing your wee - yay!

@Tiff94 @Gab101 ye you won't be seen I think it's because preg test don't show pregnant or not false neg yes but not Fallse positive, your midwofe will contact you for booking app I had mine at 7 weeks they do everything bloods urone bp etc and fill it your booklet it takes about 2 hours on total at your house they then book your scan and give you all numbers
I know it sounds harsh but basically before the time there's not much they can do you just have to grin and bare lol if you have serious sickness etc you can contact GP for appointments but apart from tht you'll never see g p till baby 8 weeks!

@Gab101

AF was due today. My body is like clockwork! I need to stop being so crazy! Thanks for calming me down ♥️♥️

Yay!!! Congratulations 🎉

@lastbany I spoke with a midwife on the phone and she's told me my booking app will be done over the phone but I won't see anyone til my first scan. I've messaged my gp asking if I can have bloods done before so just have to wait and see there reply

@Tiff94 ah of course covid related I supose! I would just mention you would like baseline bp and bloods done! As they have nothing to work on further down pregnancy if you bp is raising!
