continuation from thread AF due 20/06 and AF due 20/07

@Kaybobx I hope you find something that makes you happy work wise

@candycrush2298 I feel I have the opposite of line eyes I see folk positing positives and have no clue. I can see nothing.

I did another opk this pm with the right time of no fluid and it was 10%. It’s like my body went 0-60 in about 4 seconds.

Femometer updated our fertile time so I missed day one and now am raging. Also the sorest I’ve been down there for a while. We don’t do this so often 😂

@NamechangeTTC lol!!! I think because I have been staring at tests so long you just start seeing lines everywhere 🤣🤣🤣

Wow that was a quick surge its possible last night or this mornings test was also dark but maybe just got a bit diluted.

Day 1 is the lowest day and sperm CAN live up 5 days inside you that doesnt mean they will you are totally fine. You got 4 other really high days in and if you do tomorrow as well it will be the 5 best days.

I got an app to invert pics I’m that bad at seeing. This morning’s was dark to my eyes so I wonder if it was a peak too.

@NamechangeTTC your eyes are always better than any app or photo.

Well the pains totally gone this morning so was defo ov!!
@Kaybobx exactly the same - couldn’t have bd even if I wanted to!

So I got a peak Monday and bd, got a higher peak peak yesterday which never happens to me, today I presume it’ll be negative and I’m bd again
I wish I could’ve bd yesterday as I’m now so upset I may have missed the best day to do it :(

@Boc86 I am glad to hear your ovulation pain is gone wow that sounded brutal.

And I think because you got Monday in you still in with a very good chance. So dont be upset with yourself you were truly in pain. Nothing can be done for it. Xx

Thank you x
Such a stressful time isn’t it! Will be so much easier when we live together in a few weeks x

@Boc86 it truly is. And I am pretty sure you cannot wait for that to happen. At least its not too much longer xx

Woo opk has gone negative so I’d say peak yesterday, ov today
Bding today so pleaseeee catch my little eggy 😭 or hopefully Monday’s bd worked already

@Boc86 whoohoo!! Yes I think Mondays swimmers will be waiting there for eggo to drop but if they swim really fast todays swimmers might catch it. Either way I think you're covered. Whoop whoop.

Yay @Boc86

I did all the things today and app puts me at high again but only just. I don’t have the ability to test every three hours today so will just hope that yesterday was peak and that the egg might appear today or tomorrow. Hopefully the guys from earlier this week have found the right way to go 😂

Hey guys!

Only vaguely read through the thread

@candycrush2298 I'd recommend taking the tablets the reason I say this is because the tea is rank lol! But they said 3 cups of tea unsure about how many tablets

You give me way too much credit name thinking lol! I have no idea lol! Maybe call it CSG lol "Conception support group" gosh sounds like some sort of alcoholic support group doesn't it. Well we are all addicted to testing.

@Kaybobx I am still peaking too. Day 3 now. Have you gone down yet? urghhh now I have to BD today. I am getting sick of this 3 day peak now. Apparently this peaking thing could also be an indication of low progesterone so I better get my act together next month.

@Boc86 I guess the positives of that ovulation pain is that you know you've ovulated whoopeee.

@NamechangeTTC if you did everything right then yesterday was definitely peak although the app says today is high that is pretty negative so definitely think you covered your bases ovulation is likely today/tomorrow.

@Elakiya great thanks I had read the tea was disgusting whahahaha but yeah I also don't know how much I found tablets that are equivalent to 750mg of leaf. So not sure if one is enough as I read you should drink like 3 cups a day.

Not bad so if I call it like CSG Thread 1/2/3 etc then everyone should be able to find us. I mean it is true we have an addiction 🤣🤣

Omg 3 days of peak and you are bd'ng through it all well done you are a true trooper!! Hmmm really??? I had no idea that peaking so much could mean progesterone issues thats not good. Hope that isn't the case for you guys!!!

@candycrush2298 Just took another test, it's dropped to low but I can't figure out if that's due to my pee being super diluted (I mean it was literally transparent).

I may do a test in the evening to see if its truly gone down and I just picked up the tail end of the peak in the morning.

Yh apparently more than 3 days of peaks indicates progesterone issues but @Boc86 has given us loads of tips for that so if it comes to eat, role on seed cycling and Brazil nuts :D

@Elakiya well I hope it really has dropped low. Lol it could be because of diluted pee but I hope that tonight even if its high its no longer a positive opk.

Let us know about your test this evening.

Oh wow really had no idea that was an indication and yeah @Boc86 has given loads of advice. I know you said you told a white lie at the doctors about ttc for 1 year so have they said when they will send you for the progesterone CD21 test? Cant remember if we already discussed sorry if you are repeating yourself.

@candycrush2298 Oh it's been 2 years since that white lie. So they did they tested at Day 2-5 and Day 21 and confirmed no ovulation and that all my hormones were whack lol. Then I got insulted by the gynae who patronised me about being overweight (and he was down right rude and honestly I think I should have reported him for the way he spoke to me but anyway). So I went to my GP completely in tears and distraught and said I have private medical insurance can we do it that way and that's when I got sent to my gynae. My gynae put me on Metformin straight away which helped me lose quite a bit of weight. I went back in 6 months and he said my cycles have all improved massively so thinks metformin is working for me and told me to come back in 6 months if I am not pregnant by then. If we went based on that I am due to go back and see him this month. I've decided to wait until October though which would at least mean we've properly tried for 5/6 months with OPK's lubricants etc. But my gynae was certain he wouldn't see me again because he was so sure that metformin has sorted my issues :( so really disappointed if I do need to go back to him.

@Elakiya thanks for clarifying that makes sense in my mind lets hope I can retain this information now haha.

Could you feel a difference from when you weren't ovulating to now that you are like with ovulation pain, cm anything. Like do you have any symptoms that say OK at least I ovulated this month??

I cant believe the doctor was so rude about your weight honestly no one deserves to be treated like that!!! Ever!!

And April baby remember.... so positive vibes you won't be going back.

@candycrush2298 He was just disgusting. Honestly however intelligent some people are they should not become doctors and he is one of them. "Eat less and you'll lose weight" ,"Clearly you're not doing enough if you can't control your weight" and then I asked some questions about PCOS and he answered it all with "Just google it"

@Elakiya a doctor told you to Google it...I think he bared no knowledge to you suggesting he didn't have the answers and fearing appearing incompetent he masked it with arrogance and rudeness.

A person can be book smart and qualify in many things but if further training and CPD training is not kept up to date with the latest illnesses or treatments one will fall behind.

Oh and to top that off, when I said "I am really struggling to lose weight" he said "All overweight people say that, put a little more effort in and I am sure you can"

@candycrush2298 But he was the lead consultant in the gynae department at my local NHS hospital. I would have thought someone just book smart wouldn't have gotten to his level? I just hope he retires soon lol!

@Elakiya maybe he has experience that can be brought to the table but possibly his age means he just doesn't care anymore and says what he wants. Thats really rude for someone to say all overweight people say that!!! Oh my goodness cant believe he said that!!! Grumpy old git its sounds like to me!!!

@candycrush2298 Sometimes all you really need in a doctor is someone to hold your hand through it all and say it will be okay. Thankfully my current gynae is one of those people. Very soft spoken and very considerate. Honestly my GP and my gynae have changed my life so much I'd happily name my kids after them.

@Elakiya that is honestly what you need. Well I need a softy I am very sensitive and can easily cry when someone shouts at me hahaah sound like such a baby but it is what it is lol. So yeah I need one of those types of doctors. Fortunately our gp is super nice and super sweet so really happy with that.

@candycrush2298 sounds like we have very similar personalities lol!
Have you taken a PG test again? When is AF due?
