OVUSENSE (ovucore) thread 2

[Peonies94]

Ready for when our current one fills up, only 100 messages away!

@Loz365 how many DPO are you?

@Peonies94 8DPO today! And this is my chart this morning.
Last month I had a dip at 5DPO and then it dropped right down at 9DPO just before af arrived. So if it stays up tomorrow I think I'll test Sunday 🙏🏻

Thanks for the welcome.

@Loz365 we had fertility testing in summer 2016 but my bmi has always been high because of the PCOS, so I wasn’t eligible for any treatment. No investigations for the miscarriages. I see a consultant for my PCOS and I’m hoping that the ovucore will help me prove to them that I’m not ovulating regularly.

@TheIsaacs gosh that sounds like such a tough journey! Are you taking any supplements or medications currently?
I have PCOS as well so totally empathise with the irregular cycles and not knowing what's going on. I've really liked using OvuSense so far! Just hoping it'll result in a bfp!

@Peonies94 when did you get your first bfp? Trying to talk myself out of testing tomorrow and holding out until Sunday which will be 10dpo...

@Loz365 i had mine at 8DPO! Yes I tested from 8DPO onwards! Everyday! Even though I promised myself I wouldn’t 🤦🏻‍♀️! Your chats looking good, wishing you the best of luck! Let’s hope your temps stay up!

@Loz365 these were my lines! 8DPo I thought I saw it, but needed to check the next day incase it was an evap! 9DPO I had a positive on a digital and the line in the second test! Then another on 11 DPO was really clear! Obviously different people implant at different DPO so will depend on that though! I think testing Sunday wouldn’t be a bad idea though, but I always found a negative easier than seeing af, so totally up to you! Best of luck though! I really hope this is your month!❤️

@Loz365 your chart is looking beautiful 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

My temp dipped this morning 😭 still decided to test anyway with an Internet cheapie and it was a BFN. Also had the tiniest bit of pinky/brown discharge so think I'm out...
Trying to cling onto the thought it might be implantation but also being realistic!

Thanks for all the positivity though girls! X

@Loz365 awwsorry to hear you’ve had a drop in temp! Your not out until af arrives though! If it was IB it will take 2 days to see a test, so see what happens in the next day or so! Best of luck though 🤞!

hows everyone else doing? I know a few of your are in the TWW?

2dpo now, temp is rising 😁 last time it went up over 4 or 5 days, so another rise or 2 then ovusense should figure out where to put ovulation (should be Thursday but it might say Friday)

@Loz365 I take a hefty multivitamin every day that has high dose vit D and Folic Acid, and then I also take myo-inositol. I wasn’t able to tolerate metformin unfortunately.

My sensor arrived this morning. It’s bigger than I anticipated! What do you all sues to keep your ovucore clean?

So af still hasn't arrived, got a little bit more brown-ish discharge (apologises tmi) but seems to have stopped 🤞🤞🤞

@LuckyMoonstone that looks great! Hopefully your temp keeps rising now!

@TheIsaacs Ah okay, I've heard a few people that stopped metformin because of nasty side effects. Have the supplements made any difference to your cycle lengths?
I just wash mine in hot water. I've had issues with thrush in the past so reluctant to use any soap on it just in case!

Fingers crossed it stays away for you, @Loz365 that dip is nowhere near the cover line!

@TheIsaacs welcome! Hope you got on okay with your first night! I find that once it's in I don't notice it at all!

So I'm 12/13dpo. I ended up testing with a cheapie yesterday and it was a BFN. I'm also getting some cramps which means AF is on the way.

Temp has dropped even further, got my usual cramps and spotting is turning heavier so I'm definitely out 😔
I was so hopeful this month! Onto the next cycle and a higher dose of letrozole, hopefully that will get me ovulating earlier than CD27!

@theblueflowers thanks! Not sure I had the sensor in quite right, I felt really aware of it. TMI pushed it as far as I could but it still felt strange. Hoping I get used to it.

First temp recording this morning of 35.95. Is that a bit low?

@Loz365 im sorry it seems to be on the way out for you. Fingers crossed for the letrozole next month. I haven’t been able to take the inositol since mid April because I had surgery and it turned into a 116 day cycle! So hoping that now im back to taking it, my cycles will get shorter again.

@TheIsaacs so I find that I need to sort of get it in at an angle for it to properly be secured?!

That temp does seem quite low, I wonder if you had it in far enough?

@Loz365 I'm so sorry, it's so hard when you start getting hope. I am right there with you- I'm now spotting. Trying to see the positives in that this was a 38 day cycle, the shortest I've had in so long!

I had absolutely awful PMS yesterday- literally felt like it was the end of the world. I am so sensitive to my hormones it seems, I wonder if there is anything I can do to improve it. I feel like a new woman today, it's almost a relief that AF is pretty much here.

@TheIsaacs just warm water and a bar of baby friendly soap, so no perfumes etc

@TheIsaacs oh that's annoying, 116 days is torture!! My longest was 192, I'd given up by that point 😂
That temp is a bit low, I also have to put it in in a slightly odd angle to get it sitting comfortably 😆

@theblueflowers it's rubbish isn't it?! I've got major PMS today (even though af has arrived) Everything is annoying me and I want to cry! It's usually bad on day 1 so hoping tomorrow I'm be more positive polly!

@Loz365 aww I’m soo sorry! It was looking so good! I do hope the extra medication will be just what you need though🤞! Sending you lots of luck and wishes ✨!

@TheIsaacs 116 days, gosh! My cycles use to be 90-110 days and it was so hard DTD all the time😔!

@theblueflowers sorry to hear you think af is on the way, your chart was looking so good too!

we are definitely due another positive next month I’m sure of it! Hope you all have the best of luck ladies 🤞✨

Still not confirming ovulation! I mean it’s pretty obvious now, come on ovusense

So I managed to get the sensor much further in and at a slight angle last night and it was much more comfortable. My temp was 35.91 though! Maybe I just run cold? Usually during the day my oral temp is 36.4-36.9 so 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Peonies94 you’re right about it being draining just DTD all the time but never being sure it’s worth it. It takes all the romance and fun out of it!

@TheIsaacs absolutely! So exhausting!

I feel a bit confused and hopeless about this cycle now… temp rose over a few days and is now droppings again, and ovusense won’t confirm ovulation :( what do other people think, does it look like I ovulated? Positive OPK was Wednesday, temp started rising Friday (well Thursday night really but recorded Friday) x

@LuckyMoonstone I'd say you have ovulated looking at that temp shift. It could just be that your missing temp has thrown it off and it may not confirm.
