Hi my darlings,

Definitely a line!

InWithPeaceOutWithStress · 10/05/2024 21:50

@Xxfifixx89 How exciting!

blackberryhill · 11/05/2024 12:48

@Xxfifixx89 Oh wow! I hope you get answers soon, have they said when you can expect your blood test results back? Those are definitely clear lines…

6DPOish here, being away on holiday has definitely helped the TWW pass more quickly. My BBT has risen nicely but I took a Proov test this morning and got a negative result for ovulation so I don’t even know. I think I might hate the Proov tests, won’t be using them again but I might get a progesterone blood test done next cycle for some peace of mind.

blackberryhill · 11/05/2024 12:50

Chart attached (blue line is this cycle, orange is from when I conceived my son) - this is pretty clear for ovulation, right??

Hows everyone ?

worldwidetravel2017 · 13/05/2024 08:16

Have any of you conceived on myo inostol ?

ButItHasCheese · 13/05/2024 09:35

@blackberryhill looks pretty definite. Did you get an OPK positive as well? I didn't ovulate a few months back and the lack of temperature rise was also pretty obvious.

blackberryhill · 13/05/2024 10:15

@ButItHasCheese Yes, I did, clear positives on Days 14 and 15, which would be consistent with this. Temps have continued to rise for the past two days and having done some Googling it sounds like the Proov sticks aren't reliable for everyone depending on how you metabolise progesterone (found cases where women had four negative tests but ended up pregnant) so I'm not putting too much store in them.

Xxfifixx89 · 13/05/2024 14:26

Well my bloods are back and im
not pregnant!! Back to being more confused and will stay clear of the one step IC’s going forward.

blackberryhill · 13/05/2024 15:26

Ah @Xxfifixx89 that's really disappointing but at least now you know where you stand and hopefully it's onwards and upwards from here! Do you know where you are in your cycle or are things still a bit all over the place?

On the subject of tests, I posted a separate thread but would be interested to know what people are using? I loved FRERs when TTC #1 but seems they're basically no longer available any more.

OnePinkDuck · 13/05/2024 17:35

Hey all - cycle D7 today.

Started LH tests Saturday given my short cycles. Got my D3 bloods back. Look pretty good, I was very anxious that I was going to have high FSH given my low AMH. But positive to see it’s normal. My oestrogen is a little low but within normal range, progesterone a little high but again within normal range.
Will do D21 bloods this cycle as well and see what that shows. My BBT chart is a little less all over the place now also so hopefully will be able to interpret it better this month.
Started proceive to see if it helps lengthen my cycles.

going into this cycle optimistic….. 🤞

Lalaland13 · 13/05/2024 17:54

Oh my god - how confusing @Xxfifixx89

Ah I'm sorry, how frustrating, keep trying, you'll get there!

At the tests still coming up positive? Very odd!

ButItHasCheese · 14/05/2024 00:48

@Xxfifixx89 how confusing.... weird they're still positive. Glad you've got some clarity though, fingers crossed for a BFP next cycle

blackberryhill · 14/05/2024 18:18

9DPO, lower back pain and some spotting so think that's me out 🙄 Roll on Cycle 2!

ButItHasCheese · 15/05/2024 01:19

@blackberryhill you're not out until AF arrives... but I completely relate to knowing otherwise as well Confused

blackberryhill · 15/05/2024 01:58

@ButItHasCheese Yeah, always true of course, but I did this enough times first time round that I know when the writings on the wall for a cycle. Temp has dropped right down this morning so don't think it'll be too long. At least once AF arrives I might be able to get a decent night's sleep, I forgot how bad my luteal phase insomnia was!

Xxfifixx89 · 15/05/2024 09:29

Stopped testing positive on HCG tests but this is my LB testing… fingers crossed for this month and i go away next week so in limbo if to drink or not!!

I'm not convinced I'm ovulating yet since coming off the pill 3 months ago. I've had periods but I've tested using the clear blue kit and I haven't had the smiley face. I'm away over ovulation period next month and I'm hoping to test but just want the basic stick type without any reader. For ease in luggage.
What OPKs do you all use please?

Lalaland13 · 15/05/2024 15:30

Wonder if you had a chemical or something @Xxfifixx89 - fingers crossed for this month x

I use the one step ovulation ones, I don't know how reliable they are compared to others, I did manage to get pregnant using them once though. Good luck to you and enjoy your break!
