It uploaded and I can see it clearly

Looks positive, Bonnie!

 

[Nita2806]

Just did my OPK and negative again. However on the last 2 days the test line was slightly darker than all previous days, but not near positive.

Will have to try again tomorrow and hope CD21 bring me some luck.

I was told to consider the darkest one the positive one by one manufacturer, if the temp rises then you'll know Also, since I was a bit in doubt about my positive test (see page 18) I realised that the HL-tests comes with different sensitivities.. 20 - 25 -30. You only need 25 to ovulate (I might be wrong here!!) so if your test only show a faint line, it might be worth looking into!

Weebles- any news yet? Fingers crossed!

Finished up my round of Clomid (CD 3-7). Going in tomorrow (CD12) for a scan and maybe trigger. I have the trigger in my fridge now. Soooooooo I'm hoping to not be ready for the trigger because DH is on business trip until THURSDAY (CD14). I will be out of luck if I am ready for the trigger on Tuesday, I think. My RE thinks we might be able to manipulate it a bit and hopefully I can O later. Hope I'm not wasting this cycle...

I was thinking of doing another test tonight, 6 hours later than the previous one and see what happens. DH and I will have to BD just incase. I usually know when I O because of the EWCM but this cycle on Fertomid my CM is non-existent. I will go for my blood test on Friday and I guess only that will confirm if I did O or not.

My consultant hasn't mentioned a trigger to me at all, let's see on Friday when I go for my scan what he suggests.

Weebles- I'm quite anxious here and excited please come at and tell us

I will ask my specialist about hypothyroid when I see him on Friday. I would imagine they would've picked this up through the bloodwork I've had done as they seemed to have checked me thoroughly with blood samples urine samples scans etc.

I do have low tolerance to cold, irregular periods and that's about all from the list.

Also ladies... want to see an erratic temp chart?, check mine out...seems to be just getting worse if you ask me.
Xx

Mine only suggested a trigger if I wanted to know exactly when I would o, but I think also it was related a bit to get more $$ out of me.. haha..

For your chart - the lower temps seems to have been taken on another time than usual.. so I wouldn't pay too much attention to it yet.. As I mentioned earlier, when I have temped different times in the morning (straight after waking up and a little bit after) there seems to be some sort of changes! See attached last months beauty

Just did my OPK and negative again. However on the last 2 days the test line was sblightly darker than all previous days, but not near positive.

Keep testing Nita, hopefully they will go darker and darker. fingers crossed for you x

 

[Bonnie11]

Babydust I know nothing about charting, always found it too hard to keep up with so never bothered! Fingers crossed for you though.

I can have a trigger shot next month but i dont know if it will be worth the money, I have to pay for everything now including scans but hoping I will ovulate by myself this cycle and see what happens. Speaking of which my tests are just getting darker and darker and the pain more intense so hoping I O soon, its so painful! How long do these LH surges last?

Does anyone have any experience of trigger shots? I would be interested to hear

Might pay for blood test to check if I O'd as I dont have much chance of knowing otherwise!

Ugh I have to pay for everything too (like a lot of people!)

I'm getting my first trigger possibly tomorrow, CD12. I'll let you know!

 

[Ask4joy]

I woke up at 4am this morning urgently needing to pee and suffered a burning sensation for the next 2 hours until I finally took some Tylenol. This happened to me a couple of months ago and lab tests showed zero bacteria in my urine. It eventually went away. I did eat spicy food for dinner last night and probably didn't drink enough water during the day. Starting to think I'm just sensitive but jeez o man it hurt! Any thoughts?

Wasn't able to temp this morning either - grr!

 

[Imogenmommy]

Hi all,

I'm on my second round of clomid cd3-7 100mg, on cd4 today. Will also being doing a trigger and hopefully an IUI as well. I'm having massive headaches and have been tearful all morning. I'm 39 and feel like every second counts.

Can I add that my period was incredibly light this month. It's day 4 and I barely needed a tampon yesterday and not one at all today. Should I be worried about that?

Did another test, very negative, not even a faint line. also almost out of tests and they are not cheap here.

DH and i will keep on BD and then ill most likely see my doctor after my blood test.

 

[Weebles]

Feeling rather down. I tested this morning, 10 dpo and 11 days post trigger and got a negative on an .88 test. That turned into a convincing evap by 20 minutes. Used my last FRER after that and it's stark white. I guess the trigger shot just lingered in my system. I know it's early still but I'm just so sad. And I'm angry at my husband for making me wait So long for ttc.. I used to be fertile.

Ask, sometimes if I'm dehydrated it stings a little but it feels very different that a uti. It's hard to describe though.

Men, huh? You know, I've been with my husband for over 12 years (married 2). He was finally ready end of 2015 to start a family. We bd-ed once in Feb 2016, about 2 days after af. When I got my af in March he was gutted I wasn't pregnant!! And after trying two months he was like "oh. Had i known it could take some time we would have started much earlier!" like I've never mentioned to him we might not be lucky on first try.. rant over (for now)

I thought 10 dpo was a little early to test? It might be a false negative?

Oh my. Imagine all these girls getting pregnant by just looking at a man.. I guess at least when we finally get the baby we are ready and want it

oh weebles I'm sorry there wasnt a line there. As you said its still early though so dont lose hope yet

 

[Weebles]

Thanks norelisa. We've been trying for almost the same amount of time and I'm guessing by the lengths of our relationships we are around the same age too. 10 dpo is a little early to be testing but I had been testing out my trigger shot and I think that messed with my head a little. I thought it would be fun and exciting, oi. I hope you're right and it's just too early.

Thanks Bonnie. I really need to not get so down this early, it's just hard sometimes.

Yes a blood test will tell you what is happening. Can you order the opk from amazon? I got 50 for under £5. I need to as I pee on them obsessively
