Conception: TTC Baby no1. The crazy lot. Thread 3!!!

[butterfly5291]

Starting a new thread...

@Stabal would you normally get a stronger reading at this CD? I still have a couple of days before I can actually worry. Although worrying doesn't help anything!
I also had the aqualyx injections to get rid of my double chin and I need to drink LOADS to get rid of that so my wee is very diluted which isn't going to help testing OPKs!

@butterfly5291 no it's usually around this strength but it's still a panic. Stupid I know! How did you find the aqualyx? Painful? Is there lots of swelling?

@Stabal haha I'm exactly the same though!
I've swollen a little under my chin but barely noticeable, I've got to work this weekend anyway and then we go into local lockdown on Tuesday so won't be seeing anyone. It was absolutely fine, just tiny scratches with the injections and then it sort of feels like when you go to the dentist you face goes numb but feels bigger than it is. I can't wait to see the results!

@butterfly5291 oh wow I'm far too scared to go through with something like that but I would absolutely love to! I bet the results will be amazing!

@Stabal a few people have been like wtf are you doing that for but if it makes me more confident then why wouldn't I? It's not like I've had full on surgery. She was telling me about a surgery you can have to get rid of fat cheeks, so if you suck your cheeks in...that bit of fat between your teeth can be cut out...she said it comes out like a peach stone picket of fat....that's too far!

@livvi2021 hi there. I know some who have to go at 28 weeks in nhs. Its taken as medical suspension, not maternity. Not sure if its been update in the last few weeks tho

Just popping in to say Hope you all doing well! Xx

@butterfly5291 I think I'm going to start with the OPK's and see how I go with that. But as I have 25-26 day cycles which day would you say to start my OPK?

@Sjevin start testing around CD6

I had a temp rise this morning from the lowest temp all cycle yesterday.. But no positive OPK yesterday. Waiting game now to see if I ovulated without getting a positive OPK 🙄 not uncommon with PCOS but annoying because we haven't DTD since Wednesday. How's everyone doing today?

@Stabal was it a significant rise? That's frustrating but it's not surprising considering what's going on with your sister, try not to be too hard on yourself. Why don't you try to DTD today just in case?
I got another low reading on fertility monitor this morning...CD15 now but a slight line on cheap opk just now so dunno what's going on with the monitor. Going to DTD every day now until temp rise. I tried the pre seed last night... couldn't work the syringe out so ended up with it everywhere!

@butterfly5291 yep quite a jump! Will try and DTD tonight. Oh nooo that's my fear with the preseed haha how much do you get in the box?

@StabalOh wow that's a massive jump. I got a massive jump the other day but didn't believe it so I took it again just to make sure and it went back to normal. I think it's a 40ml tube. Will try and have another go with it tomorrow.

I wasn't tracking apart from Ava bracelet but I think I am still before ovulation.

We dtd nearly everyday/twice a day where possible 🤞🏻🤷🏻‍♀️

@butterfly5291 I found the injectors for preseed were just too scary so just ended up using it like a normal lube.

Hey so how is everyone getting on??

After our disaster our start to holiday we had an amazing time and weather couldn’t have been better!! Huge car repair bill but apparenty I can claim the hire car etc on my travel insurance so at least that helps haha

I’m currently cd15 and still nothing on opk so I guess I’m ovulating late again this month! Haven’t been temping as been having lie ins and a few glasses of wine on holiday so will prob just leave it this month. Feels odd not tracking much this month

Temp back down again. God knows what was happening yesterday, can't even blame wine for the jump!

@Crayon7 what CD are you? Sounds like you're covering yourself well, good luck!

@LT103 I'm glad you had a lovely time and the car trouble wasn't a sign of bad luck haha. Seems we're all hanging around limbo at the moment.. I have to say the few days I didn't use OPKs felt really good so I do think having some time off from all this tracking lark is good for the mind and I might just temp next month

@Stabal cd18 due to ovulate today/tomorrow hopefully

@Stabal I did think that temp jump looked off...you back to normal level now?
I got a high reading on fertility monitor this morning...but got 5 days with high reading last month...so see what happens tomorrow. I think I should get peak soon.
@LT103 glad you had a relaxing break... we're cycle day twins again. Would you not want to track temp now you're home to confirm ovulation?

@Crayon7 what does the Ava bracelet do?

It still needs a cycle or two to learn my body I guess as I only used it for like a month but I feel like I can relax much more and have more information than just bbt.

Didn't do bbt when I was on holiday but I do now when I am back so hopefully will confirm ovulation after it happens.

Will see after this cycle but so far I like it.

@Crayon7 oh that looks really interesting. Was it expensive?

@butterfly5291 new one costs about £250ish but you can get used for 100-200

I can't say if it helps to get pregnant or not only got mine end of previous cycle so this is first full cycle tracking and I think it needs about 3 full cycles to predict correctly and learn my body.

@butterfly5291 yeah I’m home one day, ordered more opk strips and checked my temp this morning 🤦🏻‍♀️ Turns out I don’t do relaxed haha.
How is your tracking going this month? I’m just waiting to see if I get any change in opk

@butterfly5291 yes back to where it was! OPK darker this afternoon and lots of EWCM so I think I'm finally getting there, third time lucky 😂 CD19 so right on schedule for me, don't know why I panic every month!
