@Stabal
That’s great about your scan 👍🏻

ReiRiko · 28/10/2020 13:59

TMI sorry but I have this weird very yellow cm today that is a little stretchy. I've never seen this before to be honest so hopefully it's a good sign! Still no AF.

Mia1985x · 28/10/2020 14:44

@Stabal yay! Thats great news. As you previously were meant to get scan and then you fell pregnant, is that right? I still am so frustrated for you that as if your loss wasn't bad enough it meant you having to wait longer. Have you to wait until AF arrives then and then call for appointment? My scan is going to be on CD20 which is not ideal time but just means taking a month off. Do you know if there's any other reasons for them doing the scan in-between AF and ovulation other than the making sure your not pregnant?

I am so glad you got your appointment through and don't have to wait as long as you thought you were going to have to. Hope it has cheered you up Smile

@ReiRiko
What sort of yellow??
When are you due?

AF is around 2-3 days late. It was gold yellow which is quite different from the light yellow cm I get before my period.

Stabal · 28/10/2020 15:29

@Mia1985x yeah so once it was confirmed I was ovulating again and I was finally getting some sort of help, I stopped any OPK tracking. That was around November/December. We went to Amsterdam in January and I took provera in case I bled while away as I had no idea when I was due on. I had a break through bleed about 9 days after that and then bled again about 4 days later for 5 days from the 26th of January. Because of 2 bleeds and not tracking I had no clue when my next period would be but guessed the last week of February/start of March and I was waiting to call on my first day of that cycle to book in for the scan but it never came. As far as I'm aware there's no other reason other than you may have conceived and the dye would flush the embryo out. Sounds like your area are trying to get through their long list so doing against the usual protocols and just being strict with the intercourse thing which is fair enough, good on them! Yes just have to call on CD1, I'm super nervous but it's definitely cheered me up to be going in the right direction again. OH will need an up to date semen analysis though much to his dismay 😂

@ReiRiko unfortunately that kind of discharge can be AF or pregnancy related. So annoying. Best of luck for you though

Yea I guess so. I bought a few cheapies to test with in the coming days just to put my mind at ease. Will probably stop testing after 20dpo as I don't think there's hope after that :/

LT103 · 28/10/2020 18:29

So did an opk again tonight and it’s high. I’ve had highs for about a week with no peak. I think my body is trying to ovulate but not managing it. It’s a darker high than I’ve had so now wishing I’d tested this morning. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Originalusername6432762 · 28/10/2020 18:37

@ReiRiko
I once had spotting which was a sort of browny yellow. Obviously wasn’t pregnant but doesn’t sound the same for you. Try and stay positive, test every couple of days, fingers crossed for you x

Thanks!! Crossing my fingers!! Mine didn't have any brown in it. Just pure yellow and a little stringy or stretchy. It always sucks when you have weird symptoms and get hit with AF. I hope you get your miracle baby this time lovely ❤️

Stabal · 28/10/2020 19:54

@LT103 that's so annoying! This is why OPKs stress me out but then I get even more stressed out not using them 😂 it's a vicious circle

LT103 · 28/10/2020 20:51

@stabal I know I think I’ll save myself the stress and money this month and just stop testing and let things be until af finally appears. But I know I’ll probably worry more and end up doing the occasional test. Ah well, will see what happens with my temp tomorrow and take it from there

Stabal · 28/10/2020 22:34

@LT103 I'm having a couple glasses of wine tonight even though I really shouldn't because my temp won't be accurate tomorrow but I feel so much more relaxed knowing I'm getting this scan so I don't really care lol I'll regret this attitude in the morning when I'm still clueless about if I ovulated or not 😂

butterfly5291 · 28/10/2020 22:52

@Stabal yay!!! So glad you got your scan! No wonder you are feeling so relieved! Really pray it's helpful for you.
@LT103 urgh! So annoying but like you said see what temp does tomorrow and go from there.

I had more EWCM earlier which I've not had since before my coil came out...still annoying that I've got zero reading on OPK though...like which is more accurate?

LT103 · 29/10/2020 07:04

@butterfly5291 the way this month is going, who knows.

So going by ewcm and fact I bled d22 and temps, I’ve ovulated. But I’ve had so high opk readings since d10 with no peak. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Temp down a little today but still above cover line??

LT103 · 29/10/2020 07:06

I think for the purpose of my sanity, I’m going to call it 4dpo and stop checking for peak opk

ReiRiko · 29/10/2020 07:07

Still BFN this morning -SIGH-

butterfly5291 · 29/10/2020 08:55

@LT103 yeah I agree that your 4dpo. Maybe you just missed your peak this month, and you'd stop testing after seeing it in other months so it could also be normal for you to have high readings after peak.

@ReiRiko
☹️

@LT103
I wish there was a way of knowing what was going on inside each month! Maybe they will invent something 😂

LT103 · 29/10/2020 09:49

@Originalusername6432762 yes I would buy that 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Originalusername6432762 · 29/10/2020 14:26

I've spoken to my GP again today and decided to look at speaking to a private specialist and go from there.

I really want to conceive naturally and I feel a bit bummed that I'm having to go down this route ☹️

LT103 · 29/10/2020 14:55

@Originalusername6432762 I guess this is a good way to make sure everything is ok. Fingers crossed it will still happen naturally for you.

LT103 · 29/10/2020 14:57

I went against my own advice and checked an opk again this afternoon and it’s almost at peak. I genuinely have no idea what is happening 🙈

Stabal · 29/10/2020 16:13

@LT103 that is so strange.. It will be interesting to see your temps the next few days. What CD do you usually ovulate?
