What is FSH?

Follicle stimulating hormone, it causes your follicles to grow which leads to ovulation. But it works synergistically with LH, so when LH is too high the whole system of ovulation is messed up.

Ahh. Did your doctor go through any ways of reducing it?

Sorry to hear your labs didn't come back the way you wanted them to! Hopefully you'll get it sorted soon so you can ovulate and ttc again!

AFM, nothing much going on, realised today I've got thrush

I feel really gross, though I know it is pretty common... And apparently it could be a symptom of pregnancy, cause of the hormones going crazy.... Fingers crossed it is!! Other than that I've not really got any symptoms. Feel a bit 'blegh' today, just don't wanna do anything, feel slightly low I guess.... Hubby asked me several times if I was ok. I guess it's just one of those moods....

Gonna go to bed and watch a film and then go to sleep!

Very curious what my temp is gonna do tomorrow, my first month of temping (didn't get off to a great start but doing better now).

No, I ordered the labs myself independently. I have to pay out of pocket for doctor visits so I can't afford to for just any reason. Life Extension org sells lab tests through Lab Corp very reasonably, so you can get anything tested you need.

I will bring the results with me next time I visit the doctor though.

Eltjuh sorry that you aren't feeling well. I hope you can relax and feel better this weekend.

Another positive OPK this morning, at CD22, plus more fertile CM. Not sure that its EWCM, but its certainly more like the usual amount I get when ovulating. This will be the third "positive" OPK of this cycle. I don't think I'll be able to test in Feb at this rate

EDIT- now I've taken another one (8 hours later), and it looks negative. Looked back at this morning's test and that doesn't seem to look positive anymore... but it did earlier

So probably not ovulating, but either working my way up to it, or still coming off the last one (4 days ago). Going to DTD tonight just in case, but now I have no idea when to expect AF. FF thinks it's due on 23rd, but that's a 28 day cycle, and I KNOW I'm not on a 28 day cycle, so I don't know what it's thinking

Eltjuh- you don't have to temp everyday, just enough to keep things consistent. How are you feeling?

I realized I am down for testing the 15th but should be the 20th...had my 7dpo beta was 19.7 doc says looks great. Last night I felt a sharp cramp and of course I dream it's implantation...today I am 9dpo and holding steady.

We need some more

's!

I'm fine... not much happening. Thrush seems to have cleared up a bit.. hopefully it'll be gone tomorrow! Had a bit of a temp dip this morning, though i was kind of half awake when my alarm went so not sure if that has anything to do with it. It was quite a big dip. If you look at my chart, the first temps before the 11th of feb i had some alcohol most nights before temping then so they'll be slightly elevated. Have had some slight cramps/twinges around where my ovaries are under my belt. But it seems to be on both sides. Hoping maybe my dip was an implantation dip but i know it doesn't have to be, cause it's quite early aswell. Fingers crossed! I do feel like i have more energy weirdly enough! I can't sleep when i go to bed at my normal time and then fall asleep late but am pretty awake when i have to get up in the morning whereas usually i'll go to bed at 10/11 and wake up at 7 and have a really hard time waking up!
