@Stabal they're so expensive aren't they!

LT103 · 28/07/2020 21:45

@butterfly5291 I’d say you ovulated 21st or 22nd. You ovulate 12-36 hours after peak opk

butterfly5291 · 28/07/2020 22:06

@Stabal @LT103 fertility friend is so much better than femometer!
Does this chart look better?

@Jadeb1995 right I'm going to look more into SMEP now! I also have just bought OPKs they haven't arrived yet but I'm excited. Ah sorry about your chemical pregnancy!

Totally with you on the impatient train! Was sure I'd be pregnant first cycle 🙄

beckyBP · 28/07/2020 22:24

Ah really @Stabal how many MG of CoQ10 do you take? The article says 900mg but the bottle says no more than 300mg

Stabal · 28/07/2020 22:26

@butterfly5291 yes I would definitely say you've ovulated and about 8 DPO! You can adjust those temperatures that were at different times here for a more accurate chart

Stabal · 28/07/2020 22:27

@beckyBP I take 400mg as was recommended to me but you can go higher for fertility purposes. I may increase eventually!

Mia1985x · 28/07/2020 22:36

I also take the same 3 combinations now (just started this month after recommendations on this group). I also take 400mg and wondered about how the tub says maximum 300mg but I had read up to 900mg for fertility. So confusing.

I haven't seen the Luisa Zissman article though, I will need to Google now!

butterfly5291 · 28/07/2020 22:52

@Stabal thanks so much. Really put my mind at rest knowing I did actually ovulate.
My sister has given me her clear blue fertility monitor but until I've had one full cycle I won't know when to start using it I don't think?
Has anyone used one?

stepmumSW5 · 29/07/2020 15:49

CD53 no sign of AF, only BFNs. I'm going mad. I stopped taking seven seas a week ago. If that was the cause of such a long cycle and no AF, I really hope my cycle will regulate again soon.

Crayon7 · 29/07/2020 16:02

BFNs here too.

stepmumSW5 · 29/07/2020 16:07

@Crayon7 what CD are you?

CAG14 · 29/07/2020 16:08

Hello everyone!!

Sorry about the BFN's. I really hope they will turn into positives and I hope that this is our month girls!!!

I will find out this month if I still have a job so it is crunch time really and going to be stressful but I'm going to do everything in my power to stay calm and positive so it helps TTC. I am planning on doing SMEP and use my usual opks. I was going to start temping but I never got my arse in gear and ordered a thermometer so I will start to temp but as I won't have much info I think it will be more relevant next month as I'm 7DPO already.

@butterfly5291 sorry I've not used it before and I don't know anyone that has but amazing she gave you it! I have seen some threads on here about it so I'd give a search

@CAG14 🤞 for the job situation!

@stepmumSW5 @Crayon7 13DPO here and temp still rising 🤷🏻‍♀️ will see if it drops tomorrow

CD27
9dpo

AF due on Sunday/Monday depending which app I look at. I suspect more likely Sunday though.

I tested with cheap tests and had faint lines on some very very faint and I suspect it's crap tests as lines are always the same. I don't believe in them.

I am tempted to test tomorrow with FRER maybe as so far used CB early (neg yesterday) and cheapie sticks. I know best would be to wait but it's so hard :(

I don't think pre-seed worked for me and it's just depressing for me a bit. I don't know why I expected miracles.

Sorry about your BFN. Do you think this was related to seven seas?
Nellyk84 · 29/07/2020 20:53

@CAG14 Fingers crossed for you with work. Hope you're luckier than me. I had my individual meeting yesterday, which lasted about 4 mins, to tell me I was no longer required, thanks very much. See ya.....byyyyeeee!! I'm now careless as well as I had a company car.
Currently sat at 8dpo and my stomachs been off all week.

Nellyk84 · 29/07/2020 20:53

*carless not careless.....damn you autocorrect lol

CAG14 · 29/07/2020 21:04

@Nellyk84 im so sorry that is so shit. It is awful times for so many people at the moment. Fingers crossed you find something bigger and better xxx

Nellyk84 · 29/07/2020 21:08

@CAG14 thanks 😊 I've got a couple of interviews over the next week so fingers crossed on that. Ironically, one of them is for a 10 to 12 months maternity cover lol

CAG14 · 29/07/2020 21:13

@nellyk84 ah fingers crossed!!! Let us know how you get on.

stepmumSW5 · 29/07/2020 21:37

@Plm28 it might be. I had weird symptoms since started taking it and my delayed period made me optimistic but now almost 7 days late and BFNs I know I'm not pregnant and also have no clue where i am in my cycle anymore. Another possibility is that removing the copper coil iud had something to do with a delayed period but that's a long shot. I am traveling this Friday and return in one week..if by then I don't get my period I will go to the doctors. I will now also start using opks again just to check if I can get an idea of where I am in the cycle. DH and I decided to try to BD every other day just in case. He's enjoying it but I feel he's gonna get tried of it 😂😂😂

Stabal · 29/07/2020 21:38

@Crayon7 is it showing ovulation for you? Screen shot if you want me to take a look ☺️

Jadeb1995 · 29/07/2020 21:52

My OPKs are on their way up again! I have no idea what's going on.
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas of what could be happening / if I'm doing something wrong.

The peak I have manually changed as presume it was my peak but it only ever showed as high on the interpretation

Any advice greatly appreciated!
