Please tag anyone I’ve missed!

@WhirlingD I dont track but I have had positive OPK's so I know I have ovulated at some point just don't know why my AF hasn't turned up 😂

@Juno231 haha yeah! Very optimistic isn't she 😂 but I am so glad I'm getting a once over! Thank you

@Juno231 hopefully your FW will be a little later this month, so you can deal with the thrush

@MissM94 Well, it would be awesome if she were right! But I guess you have been doing regular pregnancy tests?

I'm 10DPO and not a lot is going on. My temps are nice and high but it's hard to get excited when you just know nothing will come of it... (starting to get sour and pessimistic in my older age lol).

OH should get his SA results back in the next couple of weeks and I can book in my HyCoSy on the first day of my next period, so at least we will soon have a clearer idea of what is going on!

@Kay00 @MissM94

Have just been to Docs for blood tests. Will get results by Tuesday. Quite nervous! Doing the full monty including AMH.

CD38 with nothing going on. Temps consistently low. But check out the whole string of dark OPKs. Literally no idea what's going on. (The CD is incorrect in the pic but the dates are accurate). I must have a load of LH floating about. And not in a good way.

@Kay00 not regular but I did some a few weeks ago & did another random one last week not even a squint of anything so I 100% know it's not that, unless I'm a very rare case that it doesn't show on a stick until like 12 weeks 😂 just want to know what's going on! I'm more confused than anything!

@MissM94 I mean its entirely possible of course, just rare. Fingers crossed you are that rare case! At least you are getting it check out

@WhirlingD Good luck with your test results! It looks like your body is trying to do something. I would start testing a couple of times a day to see if you can catch a peak. My 'normal' level for LH is around 30% but then I have crazy random cycles so perhaps these two things are related.

@Kay00 ahh thank you! Will update you to whatever happens 😂

@Kay00 I think it is connected to PCOS. Like you, I don't have the classic symptoms but perhaps my blood tests still clear things up. Taking the inositol just in case!

@WhirlingD I know that opks can give ‘false’ positives with PCOS as LH is often really high in an attempt to trigger ovulation. So you’ll get several peaks as tbe body tries several times to get over tbe line so to speak. I have PCOS, my main symptoms are the I have to watch my weight (I’m healthy BMI but it takes quite a lot to stay there), I can get bad skin which seems quite hormonal, irregular periods and some dark hairs on my chin which I attack with tweezers ha! You can have PCOS without obvious symptoms though so might be worth checking out.

@WhirlingD oh yes, my usual cycles include many peaks of Estrogen/LH with zero temp shift (or sometimes a small temp shift that fizzles out) before I finally ovulate. That's why it feels like some sort of miracle that I ovulated on CD15 and CD18 in the last two cycles... I feel like the Conceive Plus tablets have just tipped my body over the edge to stimulate ovulation.

@SkeletonSkins Interesting what you say about weight, as I used to be quite big (size 18/20) when I was a teenager, but I lost it all aged about 17 (down to size 8) through a lot of exercise and a low fat diet (actually it wasn't a very healthy diet as I lost it all within a year). I have managed to keep it off since (thereabouts I'm size 10 now, have been up to size 12) but its a constant struggle. I'm ALWAYS hungry!!

Hello all,

Had my pelvic ultrasound today. She said there was no issues and nothing to worry about. She said I had three follicles growing on my right ovary and the dominant one being 12mm already at CD5 I wonder if I will ovulate earlier this cycle..... said I would more than likely ovulate on the right side this cycle.

She said everything looked normal whatever that means these days 😂

I will prob start OPKs sooner then CD8 just in case I ovulate sooner then expected and would like to get a few sessions in before hand so the sperm is waiting if I do ovulate earlier 😂 got a telephone review with my endocrinology doctor on Monday as well. I’m hoping things will start to get easier for me. Feels like such a long time trying to get pregnant. It’s a year at the end of August :/

@Moocher90 congrats to a clear US! Bear in mind follicles are usually 20-28mm before being released so hopefully you'll get to the double digits before O-day.

@Moocher90 that's really good news! Defo get the DTD in nice and early, every other day or so to ensure coverage.

@juno231 28mm!! Wow

28mm has blown my mind a bit!

Great news @Moocher90, bet you feel really relieved with that news.

Yes I’m happy that all is normal and I’m not contending with any other issues other than my thyroid.... I’m aware that it’s got to be a lot higher for ovulation but I feel like I’m on track for an earlier ovulation this cycle as think it was CD20 this cycle and follicles are meant to grow between 1-2mm a day. No endometrial lining yet but to be expected from not long finishing AF.

@Moocher90 gotcha, I got the impression you were expecting something before CD10 so wanted to temper that a tad but I get it now. Fingers crossed for nice and timely ovulation in that case!

@Juno231

No just a normal one will do 😂😂. Before CD10 I would worry my endometrial lining won’t be thick enough

If I ovulated before day 20 I think I’d cry with happiness 😂

Af still hasn't made an appearance, still just the odd pink tinge on wiping and some very slight blood streaked cm. Not consistent throughout the day though, mostly on waking then a tiny bit mid afternoon. I'm not quite sure what is going on with my cycle this month tbh.

@moocher90 glad all is normal, fingers crossed for a good ovulation date this month! Sorry you're almost at a year though

Did I mention that today is the start of FW and I forgot to bring opks with me to work? Well I used one on diluted evening wee and it's a good thing I did as it's pretty much a positive! Oops we've had no BD this week so far 😅

Hi everyone,

Sorry I disapeared again, I've had my appendix removed and it's bloody painful at the moment.
Currently 9dpo, not expecting anything after this long!
I need to read everything and update whispt I'm laid up doing nothing

@juno231 jump that man tonight!!

@sunshinedaisybuttermellow could be the start of AF? Mine is always a bit stop start

@lovebug06 owch!! You poor thing! When did your appendix start playing up?

@SkeletonSkins I’m sure for some CD20 for ovulation is good however on a 30 day cycle for me I would prefer to ovulate earlier so at least have a shot at implantation x

@Moocher90 yes sorry, totally understandable, hope my comment didn’t come across funny, fingers crossed we all get our perfect clockwork cycles this month!

@moocher90 hopefully you'll still get a decent LP, it might mean you get over 30 days long cycle this time. Hopefully this is your luck follicle xx 🤞🤞

@SkeletonSkins and @Kay00 fingers crossed for everyone in their tww or hoping for ovulation and decent LPs
