Ok the thing I don't get if it is anovulary cycle why for the first time in 3 or 4 months of opk's are they so dark... I never got fully dark pos opk's till this month?

 

[Pauls_angel]

I agree shell! It annoys me when there is no floor plan!

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Hey Abby!!

It's a good sign, I got the exact book in the mail a week before my BFP!! Glad you came to that decision, I'm sure you are great at work! Just believe in yourself a little more!

I guess your body still prouces LH in an anovulatory cycle to 'try to pop the egg' so maybe it's trying really hard and nothing is happening. If you're still getting them today, remember that they predict it so you might see a temp rise tomorrow or the next day!

 

[Lisasmith]

Squeegs those numbers are great! And 5wks 1 day is correct

 

[Lisasmith]

Yep we always have lh in our system and just because we surge doesn't mean the egg pops. Temp shift, us or blood tests are the only ways to tell for sure

I think that's right - that's why doctor's do blood tests before they decide to give Clomid. The blood test shows if you O'd - if not then Clomid may encourage your body to do so. Have you discussed these with your GP, Pam? You may need to get a referral to a specialist to have them look at your cycles to see if they can determine what's going on. hugs Maddyxx

hi Maddy! Xx

Pammy - I guess you have to see what your temps do in the next few days and if AF arrives or not, but I keept using OPKs one cycle after FF had given me crosshairs and I was actually getting almost positive OPKs. Also you can fern just before getting AF. So I was thinking that maybe you had missed getting an earlier positive OPK and now you were actually in your LP? Although looking at your other cycles you didn't O til CD25 a few cycles ago so maybe you are just about to O?

Abby - my mum forced me to see a family counsellor when my parents divorced, but that was when I was in primary school and it was only a couple of sessions that I didn't understand the point of. To be honest, I don't really see what they can say that will make me feel any better, but I'm willing to be open to it.

 

[Pauls_angel]

I'm all for counsellors but believe that opening up to a close friend who is good at listening is almost as good. I think tge main difference is that a counsellor provides permission to talk it out, cry, whatever but the fact that they are a stranger means they are not also emotionally involved and can sometimes see sense or provide an objective point of view that we are blind to by our emotions. I hope the process is helpful for you hun! We are always hear to listen to you vent too! X

Ginny, ive certainly been at that point, and to be honest its better when you click with a counsellor.
Sometimes its good to have a caring stranger who asks some well timed questions! or who knows the psychological impact of what you are going through and be able to guide you through the mental minefield.
My brain does some pretty whacky stuff. an example would be that work was stresful and i was feeling scared and insecure in my job! so to "rescue me' from this my brain gave my symptoms of a heart attack, which had me so panicked that work seemed silly....ofcourse now i was having a panic attack about dying, but its just what my brain does.
So my counsellor first taught me how to recognise the symptoms of panic attacks and deal with them, and then how to recognise when my brain does this stupid thing of trying to distract me. i can honestly say that i would be royally screwed without her help!
it is different for everyone, but thats how it worked for me

Good afternoon ladies

I am glad that I could provide you with entertainment this morning hehehe I was very tired and in a rush to type it hehehe xx

Ginny I LOVE the house So glad that you have something positive this week xxx xxx

Nanna - So glad that you told your boss to feck off!! They don't deserve you honey xx

Angel - Great house xxx

Squiggles - Great numbers xx YAY xx

Pammy - It looks to me like it may be annovulatory(or you haven't O'd yet) Women with PCOS almost always have an LH surge so OPK's on their own are not always accurate...

Abby - Hope work stops stessing you out soon x

Cossi

2mums - Glad that you got to watch your match Now STOP over doing stuff and put your feet up woman xx

I had so much to say and I cannot remember any of it haha! Sorry ladies xx

to everyone else, much love to you all xx

I am knackered and feeling a little ill with a little headache(which I think is from dehydration) On the plus side tho I am not constipated anymore hehehe

Not in the mood of cooking tonight! Seems to be a lot lately haha

P.s Kiwi I hope the recovery is going well and that you catch that eggy this month xx

 

[Maddy40]

[Melainey]
