It is very quiet here recently.
Dtmistress welcome. Sorry to hear that you are not taken seriously by doctors.
I won't help you but it sounds like me - blood tests which lab 'decided' not to do, 3rd referral to recurrent miscarriage clinic and still no appointment etc.
It is very hard.
Please do keep going to your Gp.
Why do you think you are not ovulating?
I also find that acupuncture keeps my hormones in balance...
Mel hor are you getting on with your monitors? Have you POAS yet? Wink
duggs I spent most of the day on fertilityfriends reading up on immune issues - looks like infections can raise nkcells as well...
Can't wait to see what mine are like
pebbles how are you getting on? Do you have you hysteroscopy appointment booked? Hope you'll feel much better after this one...
village how are you getting on with your so? Was reading up on it quite a bit, deciding if to give it a go or not...
ari hope all is well with you
belly did you find any answer what to do about thin lining?

Mel3062 · 29/05/2014 13:15

It is nanny I keep losing the threads :/
How are you?
I'm ok thanks I'm day 21 today and ff predicted ovulation (which would be about right with the other sticks) on day 10 so reckons af due tomorrow, really early!! The monitor is still saying high so gone through about 15 sticks!! Tried to Dtd every other day this time so hopefully it's covered!

swlondonnanny · 29/05/2014 14:45

Mel I am fine, thank you. Not TTC this month as DH away for 3 weeks.
Looks like the higher dose of thyroxine is working for me - had so much of EWCM after months and months of nothing.
Had a test for coeliac disease as endocrinologist recommended that as well - should know tomorrow.
Are you not tempted to test at all? Fingers crossed it will be BFP when you do Smile

Mel3062 · 29/05/2014 15:04

Thanks, interesting about thyroxine and cm as I've noticed a difference too and I've loads of gel in the cuboard I don't seem to need! :/
I have this every month... Yes need to test as would need ivig ASAP but scared of seeing bfn and all the disappointment that goes with it!

Mel3062 · 29/05/2014 15:05

Good luck with the coeliac, I got tested but was neg though wheat isn't great or sugar or dairy for nk cells and they are my only pleasures in life :(

swlondonnanny · 29/05/2014 18:02

Thank you Mel had the blood test for it about 5 years ago and it was negative. So am not worried... Yes looks like that thyroxine can influence so many things. Now I would like my ovulation get back to day 14 and get my 28 -29 days cycles back as well. Oh and loose all this incredible ammount of weight I put on in last 6 months or so...
Good luck with the test - fingers crossed for BFP

Mel3062 · 30/05/2014 05:41

12dpo according to ff day 22 and another high on
Monitor and bfn on first response :( though woman log predicted ovulation later at day 15 so af due next fri so may be abit early to test (or clutching at straws maybe!) last month ovulation was day 13 so day 10 would be abit early. Had positive opks on day 8 (4 day warning one) 11 and 12 so maybe did ovulate later than day 10??

Mel3062 · 30/05/2014 05:41

Tummy niggles too yesterday and today v weird

Mel3062 · 30/05/2014 05:45

It tells me not to test until June 1st, it's so hard particularly when af hadn't been coming on it's own :/ I'm not sure if to wait and see if it comes this cycle

swlondonnanny · 30/05/2014 08:08

Oh Mel sorry for BFN, it must be so confusing with everyone putting ovulation day on different days.
What are your temperatures like? Still high or dropping? It is higly likely that your are only 9 or 7 DPO so than the test would be negative...

Mel3062 · 30/05/2014 08:14

Here's my chart x
fertilityfriend.com/home/2db6c6

swlondonnanny · 30/05/2014 08:26

Which day do you start pred on? Day 10?

Mel3062 · 30/05/2014 09:00

Day 7

Mel3062 · 30/05/2014 09:01

But of course I temp before I take it

swlondonnanny · 30/05/2014 11:28

When I take pred and temp it makes my temperatures drop for 3 days!!! It tricked FF once into thinking that I ovulated 3 days before positive test.
I am not expert(brown is but she is not around) but if it was my chart I would think that I ovulated on day 12.
It looks like it is going higher and higher, nice Smile. I would of course test every day with a selection of tests ( but I am obsessed, aren't I?)
Best of the luck

Mel3062 · 30/05/2014 13:12

Ha ha thanks nanny ;) I agree with you day 12 to keep getting positives. Unfortunately hubby is away tues and it always seems to fall then!!
2 ladies on baby centre said day 12 too so hopefully just too early. I thought day 10 was v early!!

swlondonnanny · 30/05/2014 13:42

Smile for some reason I have a feeling this is your month. Fingers crossed Mel

Mel3062 · 30/05/2014 13:46

Thanks nanny I so hope so, even looking at a duomonitor (v expensive but recommended by my acupuncturist) and even another spell (desperation!) had acupuncture this am and it was so sensitive this month!!

Mel3062 · 30/05/2014 14:04

Sue said that last year as had pain in my pubic bone and she urged me to test and was right ;)

VillageMum · 30/05/2014 15:30

mel sounds promising, fingers crossed for you!

nanny I had my SO follicle scan yesterday, have 2 nice follies and will be triggering tomorrow - so another weekend of BD lies ahead... What have you been reading about SO? Anything interesting?

Waves to everyone.

Mel3062 · 30/05/2014 15:33

Thanks village, just did an opk for some silly reason and it has a faint line.. Umm weird if I'm 10 dpo as it normally goes straight to blank.
Village good luck with the so and good job it's the weekend ;) x

swlondonnanny · 30/05/2014 21:05

Coeliac test negative Smile - 1 more thing ticked off the list. Funnily enough when I mentioned test being done to my acupuncturist he gave me a big smile saying - I can tell you now that you don't have coeliac disease. Well, he was right. Actually I should probably ask him what he thinks causes my miscarriages...
mel did your acupuncturist hint at all thet you are pregnant this cycle?
Fingers crossed for possitive news tomorrow Smile
Village I'll have to read the article again, was half asleep but remember thinking - this sounds good and worth trying. Have a 'busy' weekend Wink

Davidtennantmistress · 31/05/2014 06:49

Slo, cd 3 (5) tests showed fsh of 14.2 cd 21 (23) shows no ovulation, based on hormones the receptionist told me diminished ovarian reserves is suspected by my doctor, lovely lady she is that receptionist! Doctor is calling me back today, to see what's happening, as I've not yet heard back from my thrombosis tests taken 8 the may. But I guess I'm being impatient?!? I'm temping plus persona and cb digital okp (and you call yourself obsessive?,) we have a flashy smiley and a temp dip wooohooooooooooo! Plus for the first time in about a year I don't want to kill hubs mid cycle, quite the opposite, poor boy I feel like a rampant woman taking advantage of him!

Mel, good luck today for testing. Don't use okp tests though for pg tests it may give false results either way. I've been known to use cd digital on 7dpo and get a positive so fingers crossed for you.

Thanks for welcoming me ladies, it's so hard to keep going when others seem to fall at the drop of a hat, I seemed to always catch relatively quickly but it always ended in m.c

Mel3062 · 31/05/2014 07:13

No nanny don't think she'd say that but she treats me as though I am at that time in my cycle. I last went last week day 12 in fact! And I was sensitive then and she said ovulation can make you sensitive.
Davidtennetmistress thanks I should be 11 dpo today and got neg yest :( no not reading into the opks. Still got a high on my monitor :/sorry to hear what the receptionist said :/ glad you've got your smily though :)

suemays · 31/05/2014 10:27

mel if you are using the cb digital monitor it is programmed to keep gett
