Hi guys!
I've had such an eventful day today. Neighbour reversed into our car, I was standing there he could have literally reversed into me. I jumped onto the pavement and he crashed straight into the back of the car.

Anyway I am off to study as studying is going so badly lol! How are you guys?

I know @candycrush2298, I'm feeling slightly better again now!

Ahh no @elakiya how did he manage that? I'm pleased you got out of the way!

@candycrush2298 duvet update....... new one will arrive tomorrow 🤣🤣🤣

@Elakiya bloody hell! How bad is the damage? So glad you got out the way!

Oh no @Elakiya that’s awful!!

@Welliedays @Boc86 @ReginaaPhalange I am good guys don’t worry, there’s hardly any damage on the car. I have a little Aygo and they’re very good. I’ve been hit when stationary so many times and all I have is a couple of marks at the most, love my car.

I just found it funny that he didn’t see the car, he was going so slow I just don’t understand how you miss the car behind.

@Elakiya omg!!! That sounds super eventful. Glad you guys are OK, can it be repaired?

@Welliedays yay at least you're feeling slightly better. Thank goodness for small reprieves!!

@ReginaaPhalange 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I understand completely. Mine was also 100% ruined hahahahaha!!

@candycrush2298 Just saw your post about the "Fertility Homeopath" I watch her too. She had a baby recently didn't she. I like her but I don't have the patience to do anything she says lol.

@Elakiya hahaha I also like her but she wants us to relax hey and I can't relax I am too high strung whahahah. Maybe I will be more chilled this cycle without tracking lol.
I dont know I dont watch her videos in order just the ones with titles that appeal to me 🤣🤣🤣 thats amazing if she just had a baby herself.

I guess theres just so many supplements we can take on the market but who knows which ones are the best you know.

@candycrush2298 I think she does consultations as well but I think I saw the price and had a mini heart attack. Unsure how much it was now lol.

Yh hoping the de-stressing helps you this cycle. Also all the positives happening you'll be more optimistic and hopefully thats all you need. I have my fingers crossed for you.

When are you leaving for Skye.

@Elakiya oh really is she like super expensive? Lol I think she is really good so imagine she would be expensive.

How's things going? I saw you said the studying is going bad. Whats happening? You just falling behind or struggling with the actual theory?

Yeah I hope so too, think it will be nice. I still temped because I am such a routine I do it now without thinking about it 🤣 I dropped some hints to hubby that I want a tempdrop for my birthday not sure if its digested hahaha. We leave on Friday after work and will spend the night in Fort William and then continue to Skye Saturday morning.

I have seen people with really long surges like you and @Kaybobx and I think two cycles ago @ReginaaPhalange also had a few days of peak opks that Premom has semi quantitative LH tests which isn't just a positive or negative test because it actually measures how much LH is in your body. Which I thought was super amazing they only available in the US for now but I have reached out to see if they will start selling it in the UK as think those will be super awesome.

premom.com/products/premom-quantitative-ovulation-test-strips-20-pack

This is what they are and it will actually be able to pin point your peak because it measures it in miu so you can easily tell which one is the highest by amount in your body.

Just miffed they not here hahaha

@candycrush2298 But this month you had a peak for 3 days (the middle day being the darkest) yet your temp only rose after the 3rd day so I thought it was best to assume you always ovulate after your final high result?

@Elakiya no I had two days of peak. And yes third day my temps rose. Which is correct in my case to assume after last peak that I ovulated but thats not it for everyone. Some people ovulate the day of their first peak which means if they didn't BD before their peak they would be too late. (Mine did that the first month I temped orally) and then there's people that ovulate the second day of their peak. Without temping there's no way to know for certain. There's so much conflicting info on Google some articles say you ovulate after the first positive where as others say you ovulate after the last so I honestly don't know which is accurate its all so confusing isn't it.

@Elakiya and the first day (pm) was the darkest second day it was lighter but still positive.

@candycrush2298 @Elakiya if my temp rises tomorrow i definitely ovulated after my 3rd peak day.

@Elakiya as I learn more information I just share with you ladies but if I am stressing you out please let me know and I won't anymore as the last thing I want to do as add stress 💜💜💜

@Kaybobx yeah definitely think so. Yours slightly went up which mine did too so think yours should spike tomorrow 🤞. I know your ovulation pain was the other day but how was it? More intense than normal or the same? Trying to gauge if soy has a general effect on all of us or if its different for all of us haha. Mine was much stronger than before.

@candycrush2298 it was much stronger than usual. I've been having alot of headaches too, not sure if that's related.
My chart looks really calm now compared to the days i took soy too.

@Kaybobx thats awesome. I have also had a dull headache which I have never had. Never even knew what a headache was so took me like 3 days to figure out this must be what a headache feels like LOL!!! Mine started at about 9/10dpo and its still here. Wonder if it is the soy.

Thats really good so pleased to hear yours is also evening out just shows last cycle with the heat and erratic sleep it really messes with temps doesnt it?
Now that you mention it, mine was also rocky in the beginning and then it even out and called down. Hmmmm so interesting isn't it. I know I said I am not going to do anything but I think I may still temp at least until I go on holiday because I am in such a good routine lol!!! And I am taking soy from tonight so let's see if mine starts going psycho again 🤣 then we can kind of guess we are having hot flashes in our sleep lol.

How does the pineapple core taste for you? Meant to ask haha.

@candycrush2298 you are so lucky! I have headaches all the time. Probably because im supposed to wear glasses but i only wear them when i get a headache haha.

You have hot flashes with clomid so probably do with soy too if it's supposed to be similar. We're sleeping through it though taking it at night so hence the rocky temps. I'll take it again next cycle.

The pineapple core is fine. Its hard like an apple and doesn't really taste of anything but just chew it down quickly then have a cuppa 🤣 might have to buy another as i started it a couple of days early.

@candycrush2298 oh no you're not stressing me out. I was just confused because I thought you always ovulate after your final peak which is what my femometer app seems to assume, it's interesting, because I think I mentioned last month I could feel a bit of twinge in my ovaries on day 2 of surge rather than day 3.

Also how come if you don't BD before your peak its too late? I thought we all BD-ed when we got our peak? I am confused? I thought that once your temp rises on BBT that means its too late so you use OPKs to tell you ovulation is coming > DTD when peak comes > then BBT rises?

@candycrush2298 clearly I've appointed you as my new Dr Google :P

@Kaybobx lol wear your glasses!! Hubby used to be exactly the same and come to bed crying with a headache after playing games staring at a screen for 6 hours but not wearing his glasses!! Just do it lol you're not doing yourself any favours by not wearing them hahahaha.

I think you're right we are sleeping through the hot flashes. Noooo there isnt going to be next a cycle for you!!! This is the cycle you will get your BFP!! Awww just want you to have better luck than me on the soy come on one of us need to be like that thread where so many got pg on their first cycle of soy!!!

Lol glad you dont mind the core thats fab!! Does sound like you may need more lol.

@Elakiya whahahahaha!!! OK great that I am not stressing you out. Soooo the reason it may be too late SOMETIMES to bd on the peak is because the ovulate the same day as the peak like if you only have a super short peak like 3 hours so lets say you get your peak in the morning but only bd that night and you have already ovulated then its too late. I obviously haven't been pregnant so cant say if any of these things are true or what's correct and what's not but the first cycle when I was temping orally I had my bbt spike the same day I got my peak result. So does that mean I ovulated during the night and peaked late the night before after I had already finished testing opks that day? And the following day when my temp spiked and I got the positive LH was that the residual of the surge that already passed? You see why I am so confused by it all. Like my thinking is that the last day of peak is the true peak because it makes the most logical sense to me. But I see loads of charts on the premom Facebook group that contradicts that theory because sometimes I see charts where BBT spikes like 3 days after their peak and sometimes it spikes the second or third day of peak but they have like 5 days of positive opks (so their temps are rising but they still having positive opks) and then sometimes it spikes before they even get a positive opk. Which might be why your doctor (family member of yours was it?) Doesn't like using opks because its all so confusing. Like I have read why people say don't go by opks and the main consensus from the anti opk fanatics say that you may peak LH after ovulation which makes NO sense to me because LH is what gets released to tell your brain its time to release an egg as they are ready hahah (so scientific I know lol) which leads me back to the logical explanation is you ovulate after the final positive OPK. Whether I am correct or not is 100% beyond me. I will let you know when I get a positive HCG test and then go for the US and they accurately mark my due date 🤣🤣🤣

@candycrush2298 ah I see interesting. Yep my friend who’s a GP hates OPK’s and my gynae also doesn’t rate them.

I think as we’re doing SMEP plus OPK’s we can’t possibly have missed our window on all these attempts right? 😞 I get my AF cramps 7 days before AF is due. Will let you know on Monday what I get.
