OVUSENSE (ovucore) thread 2

[Peonies94]

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

@MO22 @Loz365 hey guys hope your Both okay! Just need some advise please I’ve had my first proper peak on ovusense today! I know ovusense hasn’t confirmed yet but is this likely ovulation? Ovusense hasn’t said if it is or isn’t yet xx

my periods are so irregular I go 4 months without sometimes so excited if it is! Haha Xx

@Katie2021 wow! That's a big jump! I don't know to be honest, I think you need a few days of sustained high temps so let's see what happens, but it's definitely an increase! Have you noticed any other signs (EWCM or OPKs)?

Did you wear it for the same time length wise as usual? I think it needs to be 6 hours or more.

This is in the app - you need three days of sustained rise in body temp for ovulation to be confirmed.

Also, did you drink last night? That can affect temp.

@MO22 i know i thought that can’t be right! But then again I’ve not had that rise yet to compare! watch my hormones just be going crazy and it be back at base again tomorrow 🙈 will just have to see how tonight temp go xx

I wore It for 7 hours last night, I noted the time down as I usually wear it longer but I did go bed later and got up earlier for a meeting at work, do you think that’s affected it? Because I usually wear it longer.

and no I didn’t drink last night, I don’t really ever drink haha xxxx

@MO22 and no I don’t really feel like I’ve had any signs! I did an ovulation test this morning, but it wasn’t positive, I’d say it was darker 2 days ago then today,

I’ve not noticed any EWCM either but it has been more watery xxxx

@MO22 @Loz365 here’s this mornings, exactly the same as yesterday! And I wore it for 10 hours last night ! I feel like something might be wrong with it? I just don’t feel like I’m ovulating 😅 and my ovulation tests are not positive either, how strange! Xx

@Katie2021 I would usually say that it's good that it's staying high but it does look a bit odd, I wont lie! Two high temps wouldn't mean you're ovulating now, it would mean you ovulated a few days ago I think...

Annoyingly I think you need to keep using it and just seeing how temps progress - when your green line catches up to the very high temps it might give you some kind of ovulation message but if you didn't have EWCM or pos OPKs two/three days ago then I'm not sure... You don't have a temperature or anything??

Also, I think there's an option to get a registered nurse to look at your temps on ovusense I know, you could maybe email and ask them? I'm sure someone on this thread did that once

@Katie2021 morning, I just wanted to let you know I've been looking at ovulation induction privately as I'm not sure I can wait for the NHS fertility clinic referral - and I thought one cycle was £700 but it was a bit less, at £450. That's London prices as well. Still very expensive obviously but I'm going a bit mad at the moment so might just go for it next cycle 🫣

@Loz365 how's all the BDing going?!

@MO22 morning xx thank you so much for informing me, I think I’m definitely going to look into going private for it! I’m fed up of all the waiting around, I’m in Manchester but I’d be happy if it cost 450! I was expecting more! So that’s good, hopefully it doesn’t need many cycles! I mentioned going private to my nhs doctor she said if I do ring up and let her know in an appointment because she will refer me and I’m guessing send over all your notes (can save money not having to re do bloods/scans if they have that info) xx

I’ve woke up feeling like I just cant wait for nhs anymore, it’s just such a long process it’s mentally hard to keep going without any date still. So You’ve give me new motivation 💜

also I had EWCM this morning but my temp dropped right back down 😂🙈 honestly I just don’t have a clue anymore. I feel at such a loss, i still don’t think I’ve ovulated.

I was hoping the metformin and inositol was going help me ovulate and to shorten cycle this month! As I can go months without ovulating sometimes (pcos) I feel like I’m not even getting the chance to try for a baby because I hardly ovulate 😩(still dtd every other day just incase but ) so frustrating xxxx

Oh I forgot to update you all, I got my BFP yesterday at 10dpo! I lost my last pregnancy so I am veeeeery anxious about this one

@LuckyMoonstone oh my gosh!!! Congratulations!!!! I'm so happy for you 💐 by completely understand the anxiety, got everything crossed for you, you deserve this! Could you post your BFP chart?

@Katie2021 all the waiting can feel like eternity. That temp spike is so odd, maybe your body was trying to ovulate but didn't manage it? I'm guessing though. Has it stayed down?

@MO22 I've been away with friends since Sunday so just hoping we managed to fit enough BD in! Looks like I ovulated yesterday so waiting for OvuSense to confirm and keeping everything crossed. Here's my chart, how's yours looking? X

@Loz365 thank you! I am a bit nervous as I am still having a bit of pink cm from implantation but I’m trying to relax and tell myself it’s ok and it’s exactly what I had last time at 10 and 11dpo, plus I’m still only 11dpo so most women wouldn’t have even tested yet so wouldn’t be worrying at all!
Pic of chart attached, I stopped using it Monday when I got BFP. No massive rises or implantation dips, just steady temps.

Oh @LuckyMoonstone huge congrats!! Happy for you. Did you do anything differently this month 👀 how are you feeling?

@Loz365 look at that ovulation timing, so early ha, the letrozole is working well right! I'm a bit worried about ovulation timing, ovusense confirmed a day later so I actually only DTD -2, -3 and -5 days out from ovulation I believe. But tbf I got pregnant from one activity -2 days before, so it is possible! Hope you've been feeling ok.

I'm 8 DPO, not feeling that optimistic but I might be trying to protect myself after last month's devastation from symptom spotting. Chart was getting high temp wise but then quite a big drop today, who bloody knows at this point.

I am seeing the private doctor tomorrow to talk about letrozole for next cycle. I'm nervous because I can't financially commit to £450 a cycle for 6 cycles, but I also can't live like this anymore!

@MO22 well we didn’t try very hard at all, I was feeling very deflated this cycle and not in the mood to DTD much, so I guess it’s true that when you stop trying it happens 😂

@LuckyMoonstone I've just seen your post on the TTC thread, I'm so so sorry 💐 I hope you take some time to look after yourself x

@Loz365 thank you x wish I’d never bothered being happy about it 😔

@LuckyMoonstone oh no I'm so sorry. Thinking of you xx

@Loz365 - I have letrozole in my grubby little hands! Expecting AF sat or Sunday and then I think we crack on! Did you have to inject yourself?? I'm quite terrifed about that!

@LuckyMoonstone 😔 it's so cruel, the whole thing, and you are allowed to be upset and angry about it. We're here if you need support or to vent x

@MO22 ooo yes!! What dose are they starting you on? Nope I haven't got the injections as I'm ovulating on my own with just the letrozole thankfully!

@Loz365 2.5mg I think? I'm ovulating already but late into the cycle so he wants to try this to bring it earlier and I think the injection just makes the ovulation timing more accurate for DTD? We shall see. Weirdly, almost excited for AF on sat or Sunday now as at least there's a plan! Did you have any side effects from the letrozole?

I am 10 DPO at the mo, has yours confirmed yet?

@MO22 yep I was similar, ovulating eventually but very unpredictable and I think the letrozole can improve follicle quality (?)
I started on 5mg and it didn't work so they increased it to 7.5mg. I did get some side effects. Mainly night sweats and mild headaches, seems to last about a week but I told myself at least it meant it was working 😂

Your chart is looking good so far! Are you going to test or wait for AF?
Mine hasn't confirmed yet but pretty sure I'm 3DPO now. Just hoping we're covered as only managed to DTD 2, 4 and 5 days before ovulation because I went away 🤞

@Loz365 I think he gave me a lower dose as I have 28-32 cycles at the mo (it's been worse) and definitely ovulate, and also I think the injections stimulate ovulation anyway... Who knows, I was just grateful to get it ha. I also got progesterone pessaries for post ovulation.

I think I'll wait on testing but it's getting hard. Was surprised to see temp go up this morning, if it's the same level tomorrow I might test - have a dinner with some friends that I want to have a wine with. But tomorrow is only 11 DPO and it feels early still tbf. I should probably just wait for AF on Sunday maybe and not get stuck in the testing cycle!

DTD 2 days out for me too, so fingers crossed it works for us both!

@MO22 yea that seems sensible, there's always that risk that it over stimulates and you get loads of follicles which would be frustrating if they then had to cancel a cycle. Are you getting scans etc. As well?

That's interesting about the progesterone. Was that because they know yours is low or because of your previous miscarriage?

It only takes one! Fingers crossed for us both 🤞🤞🤞 we're due some positive news in this thread!

@Loz365 yeah scans as a baseline early next week when my period starts and then to check follicles are ready, and then I think I inject myself when they say it's good to go and I then ovulate 16-27 hours after - I swear that was what he said although that's very random times, think the idea is we go nuts at that point (and I assume a bit before). I can't deal with a cancelled cycle lol, it's so expensive! This better bloody work.

I tried to chase up my NHS fertility referral and got computer said no from my GP surgery. Sigh.

Progesterone he said was given as standard, just to give it the best chance and he also said I needed to stop worrying about having low progesterone, it was all at the right levels when he checked in June, I think I got 50 on the day 21 which he said was good?

Completely agree, fingers crossed for us all!

@MO22 that all sounds really positive! And yea that progesterone level is good. I'm getting mine check on Tuesday so will be interested to see what it is. Finally got my confirmation on OvuSense, now the waiting continues...
