@VP91x they are great. I'll send over when I have them and I hope you can book something. Nice change of scenery.
I hope you have a nice temp rise tomorrow xx

Rainbowhope11 · 21/07/2020 21:51

@VP91x you think so? I saw a temp spike this morning 😢 hopefully it was just because of the Provera and I still have time to ovulate. Feeling really deflated now.

VP91x · 21/07/2020 21:55

@MichT4 thank you 🥰🥰

@Rainbowhope11 I think generally that is how it works that you'll ovulate between 12-36 hours after you get your peak. Don't feel deflated. It only takes once near your ovu to work🤞 xxx

@Rainbowhope11 apologies I must of got ur time line mixed up. I thought u were just finishing ur tww and awaiting AF. Not entering fertile week. Sorry for the confusion that’s why I thought u could be pregnant with the positive opk

Rainbowhope11 · 21/07/2020 23:18

@2020wish no worries, even I'm confused as to where I'm at in my cycle 😂 and you actually thought right, I was waiting for AF but I only got the spotting last week. Something in my brain just clicked yesterday and I was thinking hmm what if the spotting was actually my period and I'm actually on cycle day 11 now. So that's why I tested with the clearblue last night and to my shock I got a peak. I think where I got really confused was this morning, I had a big temp spike. But, I also took one of the Provera tablets yesterday which could be causing a bbt rise. I'm hoping that's the case and I haven't missed out on my fertile window.

MrsK21 · 21/07/2020 23:27

@vp91x I'm dying for you to test but also know I should refrain from encouraging you to test tomorrow at 7DPO 😂 sending so many positive vibes your way for the weekend tests!

@Rainbowhope11 CD72! I cannot believe this is even possible. It's so frustrating isn't it when literally every website on earth (feel like I've googled them all at this rate) says "4-6weeks". Literally makes me want to hurl my phone out of a window when I read that.
I hope your CB peak is a sign you've at least ovulated and can move onto next cycle if you've missed the window to catch.
Hope your new doctor is a good un, they seem in such short supply these days.
My appointment is Monday so will update you on what they advise me - this limbo time is the absolute pits, sending you so much love and hope something happens for you soon xxx

Rainbowhope11 · 22/07/2020 00:02

Awwww thank you so much @MrsK21 😘 so just to add, i had a period on May 6 after Mc on 27 March, but since that one AF, I've had nothing since. Has your doctor been monitoring your Hcg levels?

Yes please keep me posted on what comes of your appointment on Monday, I would love to hear what the doctor has to say. I agree with you, it's so frustrating that our bodies just don't seem to be doing what they're supposed to do and even more frustrating when you read all of the expected time frames in which things are supposed to be returning to normal. It feels like a giant waste of time, but I'm hoping that it's all going to be worth it eventually 😊 lots of love and a big hug to you!

Rainbowhope11 · 22/07/2020 00:06

Thank you @VP91x ❤️ I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

MrsK21 · 22/07/2020 00:10

@Rainbowhope11 I feel doctors aren't consistent at all as well which adds to the confusion! Even though you've had an AF, that's still so long to go without the next and must be linked to the mc if your cycles were regular before?
No my doctor hasn't offered any sort of follow up to monitor hcg levels or rescan for any retained products. I've just been told to wait and see.
I'm starting to feel like now I'm grieving the lost time rather than the loss of a pregnancy. Upcoming appointment is helping me to be able to look forwards now, and hopefully some positive news soon! Xxx

HopeForRainbowbaby · 22/07/2020 05:22

@Rainbowhope11 hallo, I was not being offered scans post MCs but I have requested them to check that all is fine. Both times after MC I had the scan. I had them a week after MC bleeding stopped. It gave me piece of mind that my body is ready to conceive again and I would recommend to do so to all ladies post Mc.

Even with regular cycles, woman can have once in a while "abnormal" period: not at all( skip), weird bleeding ( lots of clots or none etc.), pain/ no pain, shorted/longer and so on. So I'm glad you have tested for OV with nice result👍

@VP91x exciting !!! 8 dpo is much too early to show I think. But 9 dpo you can perhaps see something 😍 good luck dear !

I'm CD3 today ladies. I'm eagerly waiting for OV☺️

Rainbowhope11 · 22/07/2020 05:28

@MrsK21 yeah it is very long, and my doctor was very nonchalant about it. He was however very insistent on monitoring my Hcg levels once a week until my levels went down.

I completely understand that. Time just keeps dragging on and there's not much we can do! Urgh! I hate not having control of my body haha it's just doing its own thing. I hope you get some answers soon lovely xx

Rainbowhope11 · 22/07/2020 05:36

@HopeForRainbowbaby thank you! I did have a scan when the bleeding stopped and they confirmed that I didn't have any retained tissue. But my Hcg took 9 weeks to drop and I think that has seriously messed up my hormones. But you're right, perhaps I just had a really weird period and maybe I really am ovulating!

Yay for being on CD 3! Countdown to FW soon 🎉

VP91x · 22/07/2020 05:58

@MrsK21 I know, I'm lying here in bed talking myself out of getting a test out. I had another temp rise this morning so that's positive. Eep. Not long until your appt 🥰

@Rainbowhope11 I hope you caught your peak lovely. Hopefully your cycle has reset with the spotting xxx

@HopeForRainbowbaby thank you, in no time you'll be back in fertile week - sending you lots of luck for this cycle xx

Okay, ladies my sensible side won and I did not test 🥳🥳

How is everyone today? Xx

SmileyT · 22/07/2020 06:37

@VP91x good work on not testing 🙌🏾 what you got planned for today? little madam is back at nursery isn't she? Will be telling everyone about her wildlife adventures. You going to be testing with a FRER on Saturday? How many have you got? x

VP91x · 22/07/2020 06:42

@SmileyT yeah Bella is back at nursery today 😊, going to do some more painting today I think. I've just had my POM juice and it's made me feel nauseous, normally I'm fine with it. I've got two FRERs, an early CB stick and early digi. Two CB weeks ones too. I'll probably do the FRER.. makes sense haha.

Are you commuting in again?
Xx

Diorissimo1985 · 22/07/2020 06:50

@VP91x well done on not testing - I’m right there with you and I’m trying to hold out too... so hard!!! I’m 9dpo I think. When do you think you will? Xx

MichT4 · 22/07/2020 06:52

@VP91x well done for not getting a test out. What did your temp look like this morning?

@Diorissimo1985 how are you getting on? Are you feeling anything symptom wise? When are you planning on testing?

xx

VP91x · 22/07/2020 06:53

@Diorissimo1985 I really need to hold out until Saturday, I'll be 10DPO by then. Everyday is such a struggle though 🙈. How are you feeling? Xx

OP posts:
VP91x · 22/07/2020 06:54

@MichT4 it went from 36.13 to 36.46.. How are you this morning xx

OP posts:
MichT4 · 22/07/2020 07:00

@VP91x oh a nice jump back, that's good news.

I'm fine thanks. I have a weird thing going on with my temps but I'm trying to read nothing into it. They shot up 3 nights ago and every night I've thought they'll drop again but they stayed up, then last night they've shot up again. Femometer now says I ovulated 3 days ago!
Definitely just riding this month out xx

VP91x · 22/07/2020 07:15

@MichT4 oh that's interesting.. Have you got a pic? Love a chart xx

OP posts:
MichT4 · 22/07/2020 07:18

@VP91x here it is, looks so random given the amount of days I've been tracking it.
I was a bit restless last night, so perhaps that spike will come down, but I don't think it would have made loads of difference xx

VP91x · 22/07/2020 07:24

@MichT4 oh that is a sharp rise, do you think it is more likely you ovulated yesterday? Xx

OP posts:
MichT4 · 22/07/2020 07:27

@VP91x I really don't know. I also got that strong OPK at the end of last week, but both just feel like I surely couldn't have such an early ovulation.
I guess I just carry on and see what my temp does. I don't know whether to stop OPKs now, or carry on. Very confusing 😂 xx
