OVUSENSE (ovucore) thread 2

[Peonies94]

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

@MO22 well I put all my temps, tests & symptoms into my apps and all 3 of them (FF, Premom and Ovusense) say ovulation was Monday, and my peak was Saturday night, and if all 3 of them say Monday then I’m inclined to believe them! I’m doing good thank you, I’m 5dpo now. I don’t feel optimistic about this month, not for a particular reason, but simply because I’m so used to being disappointed 😅 hope you can convince DH to have some Saturday night fun with you 😂

@LuckyMoonstone tbf that happened to me a few months back, I guess it could be changeable and sometimes you ovulate quickly (as I think has happened to me this month) and others maybe at the longer end of the 36 hours post LH surge?

Either way, might as well DTD!

Not too long then if you are 5 DPO, how long is your LP usually? Would you test early or wait for AF?

@MO22 yeah that’s true, it’s not necessarily exactly the same every month! Yeah no harm in going for it anyway! Well since my MC it’s been about 10 days which is a bit crap :/ so if I get past 10 days with no AF, I’ll feel a bit hopeful. But I’m still gonna wait the full two weeks just in case

@LuckyMoonstone ugh me too and it's driving me nuts! I had a 13 days LP pre MC and now I spot at 10 DPO and start AF on 11. Not sure what to do to make it longer bar B6.... any ideas?!

@MO22 I don’t know :( I tried agnus castus for a bit but it didn’t do much. I haven’t tried B6. I’m scared to try stuff in case it messes my cycles up even more! Knowing my luck it would. I’ve got a docs appointment in a few weeks, hopefully I won’t need it if I’m pregnant but if I do then it’s what I’m going to talk to her about

@LuckyMoonstone I was too scared to try Agnus castus in case it screwed mine up! Please do report back if you speak to the doc, my NHS gynaecologist appt has been cancelled because the consultant was ill (after I waited two months) and has now been rescheduled to September... so doubt I'll be getting to ask anyone anything any time soon!

@MO22 argh that’s so annoying. I’ll let you know if I get any good tips. But hopefully I won’t need them 😅

@MO22 that's so great that the metaformin had helped you! I've been on 1500g for just over 4 months, and my cycles are definitely reducing, so hopefully this will be the one that gets the closest to normal.

Very frustrating about your cancelled appointment. TTC life just feels like you are forever waiting for things!

This month I’m getting my highest temps ever! It’s normally gone down a bit by now (7dpo). There’s a gap where I missed Sunday but today is still higher!

@LuckyMoonstone that's so great, look how high it is! I'm fretting mine is too low, usually I get up to at least .7 and I'm still hanging around .6

Always something to obsess about ha

Also I apparently ovulated the same day as I got my peak OPK which seems pretty rapid!

@MO22 mine normally looks how yours looks, but it just keeps climbing. I haven’t felt particularly hot during the night, and I’m definitely not ill lol. It’s interesting but I’m trying not to feel like it means something because it might not

@LuckyMoonstone that's a great rise! Got everything crossed for you 🤞

@MO22 I wouldn't worry, those temps are still well over the cover line and very consistent!

I'm back to temping after my MC last week. Very grateful it all settled down after a week and didn't drag out. They say you're extra fertile after a MC so here's hoping 😂

@Loz365 silly question but how are you doing? Glad it settled quickly. Here if you want to chat and sending big hugs.

Had a dip today 🧐 pretty early as am only 5 DPO, wondering if I'm already out. I'm really trying to extend my LP so will be gutted if so!

@MO22 thank you so much. I'm okay, definitely still up and down. Had a bit of a cry this morning after logging my first temp again. Trying to focus on the positives that the medication worked and I was able to get pregnant but some days I just feel really sad and angry about the whole thing.
I guess that's to be expected and I'm hoping it'll get a bit easier with time. And we've decided to carry on TTC straight away as a way of looking to the future!

That's a small dip and still above the cover line so I wouldn't worry about it! My post-ovulation temps on my BFP chart were up and down every day!

@Loz365 of course, I know that feeling sadly. Hopefully you can just ride the wave of emotions a bit and as you say, a bit of time should help. Definitely good to focus on the positives but also you're allowed to feel otherwise, I think it's part of the process unfortunately.

Had a rubbish day today with work and feeling despondent about my chances this month despite having felt positive before! Hoping to wake up with a temp increase tomorrow but also trying to manage my expectations. The joys of TTC.

@MO22 thank you, it's a sh*tty club to be in 😔

Sorry you had a rubbish day yesterday. Hope you're feeling better today. How's the temp today?

@Loz365 back up thankfully, but I'd like it to be closer to 86.8... although does it really matter as long as it's up?! Not sure what constitutes good at this point temp wise!

I'm going to stay with my best mate for the next four days in Europe so I'm hoping it will be a good distraction so I don't POAS... Madly thinking about it when I'm only 6 DPO. Very silly. Trying not to take any sneaky tests with me!

@MO22 hope you had a lovely time away!

I need a mini-rant! After the devastating few days of dealing with the miscarriage, I've then managed to get a nasty vomiting bug and been ill for the past 4 days!! I even got to the point of doing a confirmation pregnancy test to check EPU hadn't made a mistake (they hadn't!) 🫠🙄

Finally feeling more human today and hopefully back to tracking everything again! Why does everything always come at once 😅

@LuckyMoonstone how are things with you?

@Loz365 thank you - I had a lovely few days and a few too many wines than I'd usually like for a TWW but what the hell.
Woke up with a dip this morning and AF cramps so was v sad and sure it was coming - had a red wine as consolation etc. However Ive had odd cramps alllll day and not a single bit of spotting (I spot at 10 DPO without fail for the last six months) so I'm a bit hmmm. Tomorrow is 11 DPO and AF due... It may well just be the B6 I started taking this TWW as the reason I stopped spotting? Debating whether to test or not... As ovusense does show a dip anyway which probably means AF. I'm driving myself mad ha.

I'm really sorry to hear about your bug, sometimes it really feels like it doesn't rain it just pours doesn't it? I also double checked EPU tests, I think sometimes you just need the reassurance even if it's tough. glad you're feeling a bit better today though, what CD are you now? X

Oh @Loz365 sorry to hear you have had it so rough. It's amazing what you can go through and still be positive. I hope this cycle has a positive outcome for you x

@MO22 stressful times for you! Really hope you have woken up to a rise this morning. I had dips on my BFP chart, so not always AF. I sometimes wonder if I should continue testing after confirmed ovulation as it's starting to stress me out m and over analyse my chart. You are so strong for not testing yet!

@theblueflowers I said to myself if I got I rise I'd test ha, and I did (literally a smidge lol, like 0.02) and got BFNs. Am 11 DPO and AF is nowhere to be seen and no spotting either, so it's odd. Maybe the B6 has just done it's job in lengthening my LP?

If I'm honest with myself, my chart does seem to imply AF on it's way... You're probably right, temping might not be worth it post ovulation for the stress!

@MO22 I don't want to give you false hope, but that dip could have been implantation? It's encouraging that it's gone back up, and if it was, you probably wouldn't test positive on a test for a few more days?

It's positive either way that your LP has lengthened. Hope you get an answer soon!

@Loz365 oh sorry I forgot to update on this thread! AF came 😞 just finished though, really hope ovulation comes quicker this month. Will start using my ovusense from tonight I think

@theblueflowers I think I've just started spotting after all that! Nevermind, at least I think I've got an extra day on the LP then. Got to take the small wins...

Where are you in your cycle?
