Continuation of previous 6 threads 😊

Hi all. Checking in.

Felt nauseous today for a bit but settled. 6DPO and not got any symptoms to report home on.

How cold is it getting at nights?! I've got my long sleeved jammies on and socks lol! Normally I'm shorts and a vest top but brrrrr!!!

Yes @NamechangeTTC they’re 10 And 8 :)

We’re in a new build so thankfully it’s held external heat today. Had the heating on for an hour the past fortnight.

Electricity is sky high though!

Its so cold isn't it?! Luckily i have 2 extremely fluffy cats to keep my lap and feet warm 🤣
Ive had EWCM the last 2 days but test are still far from peak. Think I'll be late this month

Why am I not ovulating?!
Cd19 no ewcm and opks lines been the same for 4 days
The latest I’ve even got a positive was cd20 (so ov cd21) But beforehand my test were getting darker and I had loads of ewcm for a couple of days before

I’m sure it was Agnus castus!! I took it cd1-11 and bled/wiped brown for 10 solid days before stopping it and now I feel like it’s delayed my ov!

@Elakiya no harm in that I mean the reality is that you have a lot going on that you need to deal with and exams are very important.

I have read part of the link you sent, didn't know you were considering adoption thought your family was very anti it. If you scroll down on the thread someone posts an image that specifically says only if your weight prohibits you from having vigour so movement to do tasks with your child will it pose an issue. In the very beginning the OP said she is having some slight issues with her arm and shoulder which may be the issue. Wouldnt worry about it too much I have been reading loads of adoption stories and just dont see people saying weight is an issue. Obviously if you are obese yes but otherwise no.

@NamechangeTTC lets hope you catch it with double testing today.

@ReginaaPhalange yeah it is definitely getting cooler but I am still sleeping with the window open and short pajamas 🤣 I still get too hot if I don't lol!!!

@Kaybobx you certainly look like you have a brilliant way to keep warm lol!! Looks like everyone is running late with ovulation this cycle.

@Boc86 the fact that you bled for 10 days would definitely delay it. When I bled for one extra day ovulation was delayed by a day. So yeah longer bleeding can definitely delay it.

@Kaybobx sorry to burst the good vibes but AF arrived in full swing this morning.

The way I see it is this, the first week of temps were when Ava was still figuring shit out so those temps are probably far too low and as a result my coverline probably would have been a lot higher. I knew it wasn't anything else because my cramps, moods and AF pains have been too much for it to be anything else. Ava did predict that I would start today so it means she is starting to get to know me.

@candycrush2298 I'm so sorry. Your chart looks so good too. I hope you're ok.

Im with you all on late ovulation. My opks haven't got any darker in about 4 days. Ive had EWCM and cramping followed by a slight temp rise this morning. Not sure what's going on

@Kaybobx yeah I am OK thank you. Going to order the stuff in my Amazon basket. Will start soy tonight to hopefully bring O forward instead of push it back. As the scan is next Friday.

Ugh, do you think its the soy making everyone late?

candycrush2298 I'm not technically late i usually ovulate CD13- 15... today is 12. But i usually have really high OPKs by now. Hopefully i go from high to peak really quickly and don't have the usual loads of highs and 3 day peaks!!

What have you got in your Amazon basket? I'm not spending anymore haha. Have you thought about upping your soy dosage?

Soy made me later last month!

@Kaybobx ooooh then yeah you're still good for now hahah. Let's hope that peak comes around super fast and only lasts ONE day lol.

I have COQ10, calc fluor 6x, evening primrose oil, omega 3 and vitamin B6. So a bit lol. But only COQ10 is to be added to mine and hubbys regime the rest is for me only. Evening primrose is for me from now until O. Then O to AF will be calc fluor (I checked on that homeopath girls blog its twice daily so only 2 tablets lol) omega 3 and vit6 will be daily.

We’ve done smep day 8/10/12 so far. It’s very scheduled but it’s worked.

Moved to conceive plus instead of pressed. Much nicer.

My lh has dropped. Ffs

It’s got a bit higher now. Cd13

Looking at last month I was similar day 15 and peak day 16 so I’m assuming I might get a peak tomorrow cd14. I guess I want a peak on an even day so we’re already dtd- 8 in a row killed us and I think even 4-5 might.

From my smep understanding we go 3 days in a row at peak then miss a day then one more 😂

7DPO and tested (no idea why). Stark white!

@NamechangeTTC I know SMEP feels so routine. Since I couldn't be bothered this cycle we will BD my second day of high from my monitor and then on peak day. No more all the time 🤣 maybe he has low sperm so every 3 days is better than 2. Who knows. But worth a try.

Your opk looked low this morning because its always lower in the morning than the evening! LH is released later in the day and since you been testing mostly late at night that would be why this afternoon was higher than this morning. Test again around the same time as you took the other tests and I am sure you will see its gone up. This afternoons one looks good.

Yeah with SMEP you will BD the day of Peak, the day after peak (ovulation day) then skip a day and do it one last time. It may end being 3 days in a row if you bd the night before peak which always freaken happened to me lol!!!

@Kaybobx sorry missed your message about increasing soy I will increase the dose but not this cycle because I am curious to see on the ultrasound what 120mg looks like you know if they comment and say wow you have huge follicles or a lot or whatever hahaha want to know what soy is actually doing 🤣

@candycrush2298 ah ok that makes sense. How you feeling about your scan? Excited or Scared? They should talk you through what they are seeing, if not make sure you ask loads of questions.

My opks are still saying high but dont look far off. Today should be our skip a day but what do you think? Should i go for it tonight as we won't be able to until tomorrow night and dont want to miss it.

@Kaybobx that does look like a positive but yours usually get very strong. If you only doing every other day and you did it last night? Then I would do it tomorrow chances are tomorrow will be peak. What do you think? I think tomorrow will be darker.

@Kaybobx sorry always push post while I am still chatting hahaha. Umm I think I am more nervous about them pushing on me with a full bladder I hate needing to pee so badly and not going hahaha. Its why I hate waiting to test during the day 🤣🤣🤣

I couldn’t not drink again today so I didn’t test again. Will do double tomorrow. Holding pee and not taking in fluid is too hard.

Morning.

Quite a jump in lh today with fmu. Aware it’s not accurate but compared to other fmu ones it’s higher so I think peak should be today. Glad it coincides with a dtd day on smep so we should have 3 in a row (unless peak is extended).

Hope this is your peak @NamechangeTTC

Cd20 and I’m still waiting to ov, I had ov cramps though last night so hoping it’s a higher opk reading today then positive tomorrow
Dying to start my progesterone

Ooo exciting for being 7DPO and at the point of testing @ReginaaPhalange

Hope you peak today @Kaybobx

Ugh @candycrush2298 that’s the worst they do that at your 12 week scan too, make you have a full bladder then push on it for 20 mins

@candycrush2298 are you not having a transvaginal scan?

@ReginaaPhalange you know we are going to say 7dpo is too early lol. Good luck, looking forward to seeing the next test.

Well ive screwed up knowing when i ovulate this month as today, tomorrow and Saturday i have early shifts at work making me get up 3hrs earlier. One of those days will be ovulation but my chart wont be accurate. Annoying timing. We BD last night anyway just incase.

@Boc86 what day do you usually ovulate?
