We've filled up the thread!

I'll start this one, then start tagging

@LaurenN23 tests don’t have to get gradually darker nope, and yeah you’re right to be cautious regarding positive OPK and PCOS. I think if you called up your Gp And explained the situation and asked for a progesterone in 7 days they’d do it and you’d know for sure!

@Goingbacktokansascity I think that's a good shout. Secretly got my hopes up though so will be crap if it's not true 😂 kind of want to live in belief rather than actually find out

@CharlotteCxthank you 😊

@LaurenN23 completely understand how you feel. I’m a bit like that this month too. I’ll find out on Monday if I ovulated and also if there’s any rise in bHcg as I asked them to add it on 🤫

@Goingbacktokansascity fingers crossed for you!!

@LaurenN23 nothing to do but get frisky and hope that you've got an eggy there waiting for the army!

@Goingbacktokansascity I don't/ won't test until my period is late. That said, this month I'm not due on until the Monday and we have a night out planned for the Saturday so I might have to do a quick one that morning to check I'm not pickling a little pickle!

What CD are people on and do they have any side effects/ symptoms?

For me: CD 17. Headache is a bitch (from the letrozole) and I have horrid cramping. I don’t buy into the whole implantation bleeding/cramping as every study that’s been done suggests it’s a myth and actually just mid luteal bleeding irrelevant of if you’re implanting or not so no idea why I’m cramping so frigging bad.

CD18, felt ill earlier but i would be far too early for that to mean anything other than I felt ill this morning...

I want to punch my OH too but I don't think that's me being irritable, that's just him annoying me!

I hadn't realised, and only noticed last night that my peak this month was CD14, earlier than it has ever been. I think I was so surprised to go from nothing to solid smiley in a day that I didn't even think about what day it was!

I'm also on CD 20, according to my clear blue monitor I ovulated on CD14 too!! (not sure I fully believe it!) I have my day 21 blood test tomorrow, will get the true result on Monday! If no ovulation the hospital are passing me over to IVF, very nervous for the result!

No symptoms really, very hungry, tired and irritable - but that could be every teacher on the last week before half term!!

I don't test until my period is overdue unless I'm going on a night out and want to drink!

I'm on cd15 but opks all negative so far. I usually ovulate later on.

@Helena112 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 For Monday’s results, I should find out Monday afternoon too

@seven201 wish I had your will power

Really excited for day 21 bloods so I can stop DTD 😂 DH is absolutely scunnered too bless him, the look in his eyes when he comes to bed is of a broken man

Are you still going @Goingbacktokansascity?! hats off to you guys!

I was thinking that I might call the dr tomorrow and say that I am meant to be having a cd21 progesterone test but that between the hospital and dr there seems to have been a mix up and I'm phoning to book it direct... worth a try!

@Goingbacktokansascity I've not heard of being scunnered before! My dh has such a look of relief when I told him my opk stick was still negative so he gets a night off tonight.

Good luck with the blood tests ladies.

@DobbieFreeElf don’t try don’t get! I called and asked for a beta to be added on and the nurse said at 7DPO my beta would still be nothing but she’d do it to humour me 😂

@seven201 our poor husbands, I genuinely think hell hath no fury like a woman who wants a baby. Imagine we put the effort into other aspects of our lives that we put into TTC. I’d be a size 6, CEO of a large corporation who also won the great British bake off 😂😂😂

@Goingbacktokansascity hahahahaha absolutely! I'd be the prime minister and would have won dancing on ice at least twice by now.

I'm currently in an ivf clinic waiting to be shown round.

@seven201 good luck! Hopefully you feel the same way I did after visiting our clinic I felt really confident in their ability and excited that they actually put a fertilised embryo in instead of the guessing game of 1. Did I ovulate 2. Did it fertilise. 3 did it implant.

In IVF the answer to the first two are YES YES and they have a good shot of numero 3! Xxx

@Goingbacktokansascity thanks. It was just a look round. The lady I saw was nice but a little erm... flappy and went off on a lot of tangents (used stats not from my age group etc) when I asked questions. But she's not the person who'd be doing the treatment and it meets my needs overall. My actual consultation is on 11th so not long now really.

Hi lovely’s... can I join please? I’m on day 3 of clomid (days 2-6) after taking prevera because I don’t have periods or ovulate on my own.

I’ve had really intense pains in my lower abdomen and a proper emotional wreck the last few days!

@Dixywitch19 welcome. The pains are probably a positive sign!

@Dixywitch19 🤞🏽 It’s working

My head is thumping today and super nauseous.
I want this TWW over with, atleast I’m almost half way through

Hi @Dixywitch19 welcome

Eugh, I'm in TWW limbo, should I have a glass of wine or should I not...

@Goingbacktokansascity @DobbieFreeElf what day are you both planning on testing ?! 🤞 xxx welcome @Dixywitch19

@Helena112 shouldn’t test until 31st. Will end up testing 24th 😂

@Goingbacktokansascity what DPO will the 31st be for you?! I'm not sure when to test! Today is 7 DPO for me and I'm already really itching to test!! xxx

Wouldn't normally test until I'm overdue AF but we have dinner with friends next Friday night and a sports awards night on Saturday so I might just test before I drink my way through the weekend!

I'm in a slightly different boat to others as I have never had a problem ovulating, just getting pregnant since my first miscarriage 2 years ago, so I'm not expecting it to happen. I don't get excited in the TWW or symptom spot because it's enough of an emotional rollercoaster without psyching myself up!

@DobbieFreeElf sorry to hear about your miscarriage 💔 If you ovulate on your own what is the theory behind taking Clomid? How many clomid cycles are you going to try?

I did ovulate on my own but since my miscarriage in January by body had just given up. Praying this 100mg of clomid works 🤞 xxx
