8dpo and counting down the days. Anyone want to wait with me??

[mrsharper1]

Hey mrs Harper I def see two lines especially on that third test. I know here in the uk they measure differently pmol I think. Levels over 30 are thought to have shown ovulation which I beleieve is 10 on the us scale. Have you ever had testing for progesterone before? x

No I’ve never had it done.

Where these your cd3 bloods Hun? If so your progesterone wouldn't have peaked until 7dpo which, going by a 28 day cycle would be cd21 provided you had ovulated on cd14. If they were cd 3 bloods the results would be based more around your LH, FSH and estradiol levels as that would give an indication more of ovarian reserve I think but don't quote me on it. Will you have an app to discuss your results as you can gain a better insight then. Also if it was cd3 then that would be follicular phase but as you mentioned you may have been in luteal the results would be a little on the low side. Hoping for the best for you Hun. Ps on a positive the tests you took I def saw two lines so keeping everything crossed for you x

No these were just yesterday morning. I’m hoping they will call tomorrow but when I had my ultrasound and they officially diagnosed me with pcos, they never called me. I got my test results online and had to call them to ask

 

[laustiredttc]

Mrs Harper I see it!
Is the rumour actually true that OPKs pick up HCG ? I've had two tests where the test line was way darker than the control, currently 8dpo and a 20miu HPT didn't pick anything up even though i could see the indent I guess see what happens!

I've heard that too Hun. I'm a poas addict so def won't be trying it or it could end up a very expensive ttc journey for me

Oh Hun that does sound frustrating. I've not done much research into pcos. Mine endo. Could you maybe do some research into it and see what you get?? I know my friend suffered with pcos and she didn't ovulate regularly but conceived her DD with Clomid. But I know it's different for everyone. My husbands brothers missus also has endo but never had any problems conceiving, in fact she only had to look at her OH and wham. Go figure 🙈. Hope they give you more clarity with your result Hun x

Are you sure? I got a 5 pack of opks for £1.45 at Wilkos. But like you I don’t want it to be a habit oooops! Tonight I had cramping on my left side for a couple of hours, I’m estimating I’m 8/9dpo so god knows what that was 😞 I don’t remember this with my 1st but I guess you’re more susceptible to things the second time around 🤔

Absolutely 😂 I'd be doing them morning noon and night 🙈 Ive not tried Wilkos but have tried the pound shop ones which I think are quite good. Although you only get 5 in a pack, soooooo I try to limit myself. You can also get the pg ones as well 3 in a pack. Went a bit OTT with those ones last cycle, determined it was going to give me my instead the had other ideas and showed up two days early and ruined it 😡 Will try be good this cycle but really just kidding myself.

8/9 dpo could be implantation cramps?? About the right time for it. I have been looking back over my threads on here when I was ttc ds and it reminded me of all the SS I did and what was normal for me and what wasn't. What I did realise was the month I got my sticky I didn't have any, typical. Still doesn't help this time round as I know every twinge etc.... I'll be like ooooooooh ahhhhh

Good luck Hun keeping fx crossed for you. Keep us updated x

Today af was supposed to show, but she didnt. I took 2 frer tests today and they both came out negative. I guess I'm out this month

Still keeping fx crossed for you Hun. Could be possible you implanted late?

 

[laustiredttc]

Well cd 5 here for me. Still spotting think I will start my opks from cd 9 considering my last cycle was 26 days. Last chance to catch the Eggie before DH goes away with work. Come on Feb make it a lucky month 😎

 

[claire_c]

I guess it's possible? This is our first time TTC, so I don't really know a whole lot about my cycle other than it's irregular. I was on BC for about 7 years and this is my first month off, so we will see. AF didn't show yesterday and she isn't here yet today. I took another test last night/afternoon and I could have sworn I saw something, but it was gone by the time it was ready to be read lol.

Hey there! I'm just going to jump on this thread now

I'm 23 and have a one year old son. TTC #2 but it seems to be taking more work than #1! I didn't take an OPK, rather just 'letting nature do its thing'. Trying but not trying. Well, I'm trying

This is the first cycle, so I'm not trying to get my hopes up too much. I don't live in the same city as my partner, so it is difficult. Only getting excited now because I realised that we had sex during my fertile period. I'm currently 10DPO (if I ovulated when my app estimated). I've been having cramping/twinges ever since we had sex, but AF hasn't arrived yet. Haven't really had any symptoms other than being tired and having to nap, but I'm putting that down to running after a one year old!

I've been charting my BBT and they were on the higher side of things at 36.9 but it dipped to 36.7 and hasn't come back up again. Am I out? Or is there still a chance?

FX for everyone!

 

[Esperanza2015]

First, best of luck for the ones ttcing this month! I was counting myself one of them but not am not sure. TMI I spotted very little brown discharge on Sun (11DPO), also a tiny bit yesterday and it stopped last night. i was sure AF was coming but now its gone. Today 13DPO, no spotting, i couldnt wait and tested with a standard hpt and BFN. Not sure what to think now. My symptoms are gone, my breasts can be a bit sore on and off but thats it.
Help!nwhat do you think?

Hi Victoria :wave: I haven't charted my bbt since my first so I'm def of no help Hun. Only thing I can remember as long as it stays above your cover line it's all good. I'm in same boat with DH going away soon so know how you feel. It took us over two years ttc ds #1 so I have a feeling it could be as long possibly longer with #2 hoping Mother Nature is kind this time around and gives us a helping hand. We will see? Hoping you get your bfp this month Hun fx

Could be ib and the hcg isn't high enough to see a result? Don't lose hope Hun your never out until the witch

 

[claire_c]

I'm just super confused. I took one last test last night because I figured it would be negative, but I still wanted to know lol. When I wiped (sorry tmi) there was really light pink spotting that kept coming.i figured it was af but she never starts like that, so I'm not sure. I waited until this morning and the spotting is gone.. when I was on the bcp af would start anytime from a monday-wednesday, so I still have time to technically be "late", but I'm not sure what to think with all the negative tests.

 

[Esperanza2015]

Same here. I have random longer cycles so for me its better to wait and see. And try not to be too hopeful.

 

[claire_c]

I'm just hoping I'm not going to have to go to the doctor to get af to start. I've often had to do that when she wont come on her own. I'm hoping he's not going to want to put me back on the bc, and make me wait longer to "see what happens then". This is only our first month TTC, so I really wasn't expecting a whole lot. I even figured if nothing happened, then I would go back to the bcp and wait some more time until life threw me a twirl lol, but now that I've got the rush of "maybe this IS it", I don't want to just put it on hold. I was even excited about af showing her face on her own. I got the idea that I could really do this! But now I'm kinda bummed. I'm sure I could explain to the doctor that this is what I want, but I figure I'll get the negative nancy talk saying I need to lose weight and be older, etc. I've just never wanted something so bad. Ever since I was a little girl I've dreamt about being a mommy, and now that I'm finally trying it's frustrating that my body isn't working with me lol.

I was thinking, if af wants to be my best friend this month, I might get the preseed stuff to try and see how it might help? Have any of y'all heard about it? I've read some good reviews, but I'm always worried they're being paid lol

Sorry for the rant! Baby dust to everyone! Hope y'all see some BFPs soon.

 

[Esperanza2015]

AF came this morning. Am thankful for having a clear answer now. CD 1! Here we go again!
