Only a couple of days malbec, I had the blood test on Monday.

Footy1 · 30/11/2016 17:27

Wow fig that level is superb! Are u sure u are not preggers?! Really hope u are. How many dpo are u?
I'm good thanks, not really got anything to report today. My temp has dropped a wee bit to 36.55 but I guess it would start falling now if I was 10dpo?! AF should b due in 4/5 days. Either that or temps coming down before ovulation?? Why is nothing straight forward?!

Not much cm this cycle? Think I'm a dried up prune!

Footy1 · 30/11/2016 17:28

Good news for u too Malbec! Let's hope it pops out a good juicy egg Grin

Figroller · 30/11/2016 18:22

Ah thanks footy I hope so to. I'm 9 dpo today. I have been googling and I don't think high progesterone is a good indication of pregnancy at this stage. It just means you had a good ovulation. I released two follicles as well so that could be contributing. I'm a bit excited but trying not to get my hopes up and mostly just relieved I ovulated.

Will you test footy? Will AF come of its own accord if you are not pregnant this time or do you have to take the drugs to induce it again?

Footy1 · 30/11/2016 19:13

Fig Yes AF should arrive this cycle as last cycle I didn't ovulate and my temps were on the floor at 36.10-36.30 the whole cycle! I kept getting pains every week where my body was trying to ovulate. After temping for 6 months I generally see a pattern of low temps to high immediately after ovulation which is what I've had this cycle so can only assume I've ovulated with temps 36.65 to 36.90 So I'd be 10dpo today?! Wish I had bloods done too so I could tell for sure.

Malbec At the end of the 36 day cycle (last cycle) the pills brought on AF. Which was 3 days after, bleeding only lasted 2 days. We dtd before AF and cd4, cd5 so if ovulation was on cd4/5 I may have a slight chance. But I was on top (doh) won't do that againConfused

Sorry to hear that bunny, my first month trying this happened to me and ovulation spotting is common but gp seemed to suggest it wS a break through bleed after coming off pill?? Hope your cycle settles.

MmmMalbec · 30/11/2016 19:13

How big were your follicles Fig?

So confusing footy. Do you ever check your cervical position? Mine is a really good indicator of where I am in my cycle.

Footy1 · 30/11/2016 19:15

Fig, I'll only test now if i get to 14dpo with no cramps. I always get bad cramps 3-4 days before. Getting fed up spending fortune on tests! Although the advantage of testing early is you know when u have a chemical p.

Footy1 · 30/11/2016 19:36

Malbec no never checked it.
So if I was pregnant what would it be? And what is it before ovulation. I might have a go later?

doomkittycleo · 30/11/2016 20:33

Malbec my gynaecologist said they will only monitor me if no success in first 3 months. They don't routinely offer it at first in my area. I'm NHS too, but live in Lancashire.

MmmMalbec · 30/11/2016 20:38

Pregnancy is a bit more complicated footy. It will be high, soft and closed but for some people it doesn't move until after they've had a BFP kind of time. I find it very accurate when I'm coming up to ovulating and after I've ovulated though. Just wondering if yours is open then you might not have actually ovulated yet?

Oh that's interesting doom. I'm from Lancashire but I live in West Yorkshire now. Quite grateful for that with the care I'm getting here!

Figroller · 30/11/2016 21:30

I'm not sure this cycle Malbec, I don't remember them telling me the size. The last two cycles they have measured 23mm-25mm at my final scans before they released.

doomkittycleo · 30/11/2016 21:39

I'm actually pretty greatful that I don't have to go for scans. Arranging time off work for appointments is hard enough and I would probably stress and obsess more about BDing at the right time.

I definitely felt like I ovulated last Thursday night. I was sat in the pub and had to gasp a little when the pain peaked. Then it went away again.

Just a little worried because of very little ewcm because on non Clomid cycles I have plenty.

We did use preseed tho (well concieve +) same thing really.

Trying not to symptom spot Halo

MmmMalbec · 01/12/2016 06:50

Those are really good sized eggs aren't they. My clinic says they want to see 17mm before they're released!

Yeah I did think that doom. I only work on Friday and at weekend at the minute so it's okay for me but it's a lot of appointments in a week if you're working. I'm glad to know exactly when to DTD though because your actual window to get pregnant is so small you're just wasting time if you're not hitting the right time. Obviously you can just have sex 3-4 times a week all month but that's waaaay too much for me!

I have read that about clomid drying my EWCM. I haven't had any this month yet either.

Glad time is going fast for you. Hope it's your month!!

Footy1 · 01/12/2016 13:28

I've hardly had any cm this cycle.

I'm sitting here trying not to symptom spot too Halo
To add to my confusion my temps are still up ( usually would have fell by now!) ? 36.78 this morn.

Feeling very nauseous and headache today! Im probably imagining it as it would be a miracle that I caught egg at 4dpo. Plus don't think I'd b feeling sick yet!!
I'm 11dpo AF would be due Sunday.

My DH is from Lancashire also! Xmas Smile

Footy1 · 01/12/2016 13:29

Anyone got any symptoms to share in 2ww?

doomkittycleo · 01/12/2016 17:15

Only thing I've had is creamy cm (a lot of it for past 2 days, but normal amount again today) and a few twinges, but I get them every month.

Apart from that pretty normal tbh

Figroller · 01/12/2016 18:29

Desperately trying not to symptom spot footy Confused. Although I have sore boobs and feel a little nauseous, but I tend to feel like this before AF anyway.

I've had more cm this time too doom but that may just be down to the fact I ovulated this time. What cd are you on now?

Yes they were quite big malbec but they were obviously duds as I didn't ovulate either of those times.

I am seriously thinking about testing in the morning, even though I will only be 11 dpo. It's my works christmas party and I need to know if I can have a drink. I usually have short cycles of around 24 days so I don't normally have to test and I also put it off because I hate seeing the blank white test. What would you do?

MmmMalbec · 01/12/2016 18:31

I can't stand BFNs so I don't test Fig! I didn't test until 15dpo with DS! Have you got a FRER to use?!

Footy1 · 01/12/2016 18:57

If I was going out drinking I'd prob test beforehand fig. The odd one of two im sure would be fine but Christmas nights out for me end up hugging the toilet, crying for my mum and sleeping in my party dress. Xmas BlushXmas Grin

doomkittycleo · 01/12/2016 19:01

Oh Fig I'm on CD21 7dpo today.

Figroller · 01/12/2016 19:03

I'm the same Malbec, can't remember the last time I did a test. I don't have an FRER but I do have a superdrug early one.

What time's your scan tomorrow?

Figroller · 01/12/2016 19:04

Haha footy, I have a feeling it could be one of those nights, that's why I'm concerned. Maybe I should just try to be sensible and just have a couple.

Footy1 · 01/12/2016 21:16

Tmi warning..
So Malbec I've just tried checking cervix - had no idea what I'd b feeling tbh .. So I feel it's def soft .. but is low as I could feel it easy. Had quite a bit of creamy cm too.
Been on google and don't think that means ovulation is near. Temps too high also.
??

My boobs are fine though (part of me wishing they are sensitive) as is a very common symptom of pregnancy for some.
Definitely feeling a bit queasy every now and then. Feels like I'm starving but when I eat I feel sick? Unless a bug is brewing.

MmmMalbec · 02/12/2016 06:18

Haha we've all been there Footy! If you're cervix is low you won't be near ovulating. The main thing for me is how open it is. When I'm nearing ovulation I could put a finger inside if I wanted, but in none fertile times it's more like the feeling of pursed lips if that makes sense?

My scan is 8.25. I'm working today so needed it to be very early! Have you decided what to do Fig?

MmmMalbec · 02/12/2016 06:19

Oh and high temps and creamy CM is post ovulation symptoms really! I didn't have sore boobs until about 6-7 weeks with DS. How many dpo do you think you could be now then?
