@hopingforapeainapod awhhh yey what great lines!

@Angelselevenx I'm doing okay thank you. Had the SA done, he has ridiculously great sperm. Which I know sounds totally insane but I was upset. I wanted the "blame" to be evenly split and with such great results it feels like there has to be something seriously wrong with me for it to have not happened yet. I've reflected on it now and know that it's a box that's ticked for us and I shouldn't complain.

This month just on day 7 of flashing smileys!! Totally dosnt make sense, I had EWCM 3 days ago and my temp went up today so I think I missed my peak. see what happens this weekend. Have been BD every other day anyways.

How are you and how is the pregencare working out? 😊

NSCat · 17/02/2024 07:38

@hopingforapeainapod congratulations! How exciting!!

@Angelselevenx keeping everything crossed for you for this weekend. It feels almost as long waiting for ovulation as it does in the two week wait.
Yes my bbt dropped massively this morning. Hoping it goes back up tomorrow!

Angelselevenx · 17/02/2024 07:48

@NSCat hopefully a nice big dip for a reason!

I'm CD18 today, normally have a blazing positive OPK at this point but with the new pregnacare tabs.... it's so negative. I'll see what it's like later as sometimes it goes up with my smu but can't imagine it shooting up that much. How annoying!

@riverlodge90 glad the SA went okay but just remember there doesn't have to be anything wrong for it to have not happened yet... I've had my tests done as has my OH and nothing is shouting out wrong with either of us x

riverlodge90 · 17/02/2024 09:43

@Angelselevenx thank you! I get what you're saying but I'm unsure of whether there is ever is unexplained infertility. I just don't believe that haha I think there is always something we just don't know what it is yet, and maybe science hasn't got that far yet either. I think women's health is not taken seriously and this is another example of that.

But before I go onto a political rant 🤣🤣 I'm totally confused by this month! I've ovulated CD 16/17 the last few months and it ties up with my CM and temps, but I haven't got a peak on clear blue until today?!

What one would you go by?

Come on 2024 BFPs let’s be having you!!!
Angelselevenx · 17/02/2024 11:06

@riverlodge90 I know exactly what you mean and the whole 'unexplained' thing is so frustrating as there isn't anything you can actually fix!?

Hmm tough, I'd say CD16 by your temps, did you take any opks or only the clearblue?

I just took another OPK and it's still low, this means O won't be on CD20 like the last however many months. Definitely the tablets I'm taking, annoying! 😔

Teela86 · 17/02/2024 11:40

@Angelselevenx getting actually visible lines on those dodgy one step strips now even without fmu , and period is officially late. Fingers crossed it stays put

How's everyone else doing, I'll be relieved when half term is over, it's exhausting!

SnKcampbell · 17/02/2024 12:33

Hi Ladies

Im either 2/3 DPO I haven't tracked using opks or BTT as this is my first month trying so didn't want to stress myself out straight away.

Been using Flo, Get Baby and pre mom apps to log my periods in for good few years i normally range 26 to 32 day cycles and ovulate between day 12 and day 18.

For this month we have been DTD every 3 days from the day my period ended would have liked to do every 1 to 2 days but hubby can only manage every 3 days this did land according to 1 app 2 days before ovulation and another app day of ovulation, we still carrying on with DTD every 4 days for the rest of this month though just in case ovulation was late.

We did have a fertility health check done last year sperm was fine and my bloods and scans came back fine aswell.

14th Feb i did have possible ovulation pains on my left side all day around where my ovaries are and also my hip join pains carried on until lunchtime on 15th Feb, my Discharge though sorry Tmi wasn't Egg white and was just supper wet so been using pre seed lube last few times we been DTD.

Today im having light belly cramps and constipation and also a tender sore throat and feeling like my ears are blocked but maybe a cold coming who knows?

riverlodge90 · 17/02/2024 20:22

@Angelselevenx
That's so annoying! We've DTD again today just in case but I reckon I'm ovulating late today CD19, so I know how you feel with it being later it month.
Hopefully we get our BFPs on the same day in a few weeks too 🤣

@Teela86 that's fantastic news keep us updated on your pregnancy 😇

@SnKcampbel Welcome! How many months have you been TTC? Sounds like you've covered all basis with DTD, fingers crossed it worked for you!
I always get strange pains too and when I'm pregnant I am planning on asking at the scan what side I ovulated from to see if it matches the pains but other than that I guess we'll never know!

Hi and thank you

Changed my name as hubby was a bit worried people may recognise us lol

Last month we DTD but weren't really trying and noticed we had done it in my fertile window 2 days later I got possible ovulation pain in my right side this was more intense then this month one, but was funny as the tww i had a lot of symptoms but never did conceive, hubby did point out he hadn't done anything for about a week before that so maybe sperm wasnt the best lol

So i would say fully trying this month im 34 he is 39 would be our first i did have a 7-week miscarriage at 18 years old but was before i got with Hubby

Today i have been having back cramps and slight twinges in left side of lower belly and my left boob feels tender but after last months symptoms im trying not to think to much, may keep a diary and keep track of pains so i know going forward if body tries to trick me lol

NSCat · 18/02/2024 10:36

@Angelselevenx I wish it was for a good reason, I normally always dip at some point half way through the TWW but never below the cover line. How's your chart looking? Any sign on peak yet?

Angelselevenx · 18/02/2024 10:56

@NSCat fingers crossed! Nope no sign, CD19 now 🙄

Come on 2024 BFPs let’s be having you!!!
NSCat · 19/02/2024 18:25

@Angelselevenx any sign of ovulation yet?

My temps are starting to go back up again...fingers crossed it stays that way but I'm just waiting for the BBT decline to show AF is on her way 😂.

Come on 2024 BFPs let’s be having you!!!
Angelselevenx · 19/02/2024 21:35

@NSCat nice big rise for you! I've started to hit peak today CD20, bit later but has happened on other cycles, funnily enough on the cycle of my chemical almost a year ago. Got my fertility referral appt tomorrow though so hopefully they'll be able to see if I've O yet or not.

DTD every other day so we will be covered either way x

Come on 2024 BFPs let’s be having you!!!
Angelselevenx · 20/02/2024 16:26

How is everyone? I've had my fertility appointment today and been prescribed letrozole 🤞🏼

riverlodge90 · 20/02/2024 19:12

@Angelselevenx Awh amazing! How did it go? Were you expecting the meds?

Angelselevenx · 20/02/2024 19:18

@riverlodge90 well I was hoping for some, but I didn't want to set my expectations too high. He basically said that my progesterone test at the GP did was low (it was 19 and should've been 30) plus the spotting that I get towards the end of my luteal phase and my LP is only 10–11 days it's all pointing towards low progesterone and ineffective ovulation. He said the letrozole will boost my ovulation, bettering it and then that'll in turn increase my LP and increase my progesterone. Feeling hopeful and positive at the moment (for now 😂)

riverlodge90 · 20/02/2024 19:25

@Angelselevenx that makes complete sense in my novice brain! Most importantly getting some answers and love was with trying something new. It can't hurt and it's got a good chance of going well! Fingers crossed

NSCat · 22/02/2024 18:57

What do we think...

Positive or indent? I'm 12dpo.

Come on 2024 BFPs let’s be having you!!!
riverlodge90 · 22/02/2024 19:09

@NSCat that is clearly positive! Do a digital for sure.

Congratulations!! X

Angelselevenx · 22/02/2024 20:05

@NSCat congratulations!!!

Angelselevenx · 22/02/2024 20:06

I finally ovulated last night, 1DPO and the final cycle before letrozole 😬

NSCat · 22/02/2024 20:25

@riverlodge90 thank you! Ran out to get a digital to try.

@Angelselevenx keeping everything crossed for you, glad ovulation finally happened for you!

Yeyyy one step closer!

Angelselevenx · 22/02/2024 21:01

@NSCat is this the first month on pregnacare as well? Did you do your digital? X

NSCat · 22/02/2024 21:12

@Angelselevenx yes! First month using them! And I also used the Fertilily cup for the first time this month (TTC cycle 17-really had nothing left to lose 😂)

I did!!
