I think they say it can live for a maximum of 5 days....so not impossible ....but not as high a percentage chance i'd imagine but maybe your oh has super sperm!!

Above average must be a good score? Im just wishing there still some hope that's all

babylaw. Good luck this cycle!!

Braven - 11lbs is amazing in such a short time. Well done!! Hope you're back ttc very soon!

Nimbec & sarahlou - we only dtd once in my fertile window this month & it was two days before ov. Spent the rest of our time arguing sadly (ETA: about ttc. It was all getting too much ) I did have some ewcm that day & I had read that fertile cm around bd can be more important that which days you dtd so there's still a chance! (& btw it was the first time in 6 months is had proper ewcm - I thank taking evening primrose oil for that this cycle!)

Fern - I'm feeling good thanks & watching your chart eagerly. I really hope you can avoid all those ops too!

Buttercup - 10dpo today? Not long to wait now hun until your blood test then? Really hope your iui has worked this month.

Thinking of you all!! Sending some serious your way!

Hi there

Sarahlou I agree with nimbec try temping for a few days maybe? I set an alarm clock to help remind me. And for what it's worth my pre-o temps are usually around 36.3- 36.5 Celsius or lower and post o around 36.7 or higher. But again that will vary from person to person, and may be SLIGHTLY higher if you temp vaginally compared to orally.

K4th I'm glad you're feeling well . Now that you mention it this was also my first month with tons of ewcm and I also took evening primrose oil. I stopped taking it after I thought I would not o anymore but still had a huge effect :-D

Cool Nimbec and Buttercup looks like you guys are more or less on the same dpo! Can't wait to hear the outcome ♥

Progesterone b/w for me later! Woke up to cramps and had a very sore back &legs since yesterday. Couldn't sit still to teach I was so uncomfortable. Had to keep getting up and eventually had to fetch a pillow to sit on lol. Oh the hormonal joys hehe.

 

[Pinkee]

Trying hard not to test, going on 9dpo w no symptoms.

Sarah - that is alot of BDing! Frequency & illness can also factor against sperm count. But I think you have a great chance.

K4t - congratulations!

 

[Girly123]

Well temp stayed up above my apparent cover line but was a bit lower than yday. so FF thinks I ovulated. What do you girls think? I have blood work in 4 days so if I am still unsure that will help answer my questions lol.

If I did then have any of you ever had to take progesterone for the tww as levels are too low? Wondering if my levels aren't high enough that is why it isn't much temp rise.

Xx

 

[nimbec]

Hi Girly, well i know clomid can make pre o temps stay high and that some girls, me included sometimes only get 3-5 days low temps before ov...maybe this is the case for you? Also i may be wrong but my understanding of progesterone levels in the 2ww is that you would have a problem 5dpo onwards - they think i may have issues....but the progesterone level that you check for yes or no ovulation is a different matter...as long as its above (i think 29/30 in the uk thats shows o - i can't quite remember so that number might be wrong!) it will then drop massively a few days before AF if not pregnant. Do you have any spotting in your second halfof cycle? thats a sign of P issues? I have been told they will only give you a P supplement if you are on a medicated & montiored cycle, it can will also delay the start of your next cycle as AF will not arrive until you stop the P supplement and you can't stop that untill you are at least 14dpo....hope i haven't confused you more!! At least after the blood work you will know if you did actually O definitively then you can work on any other factors that their maybe....FX this is your cycle tho and you don't have too!

Pinkee i'm with you on the finding it hard not to test .....10dpo here and nearly tested this morning but managed not too!! Really trying to hold out till at least 12dpo....have cramps today tho so not looking good and well in my case i can't see how this cycle will end up anything different to the last 16 cycles but sadly i still can't get the 'maybe' out of my head! Does anyone else feel like life just stops for a few days at the end of a tww? I literally can't focus on anything and i'm a moody bitch hahaha!

 

[Fern81]

Lol nimbec smiling at your post because well, here I am supposed to be studying and instead am on the net reading threads! Ha! So much for not symptom spotting this month. Promised myself I won't test till 15dpo but for "some" reason I just always magically poas way too early

Will get progesterone levels and also hubby's SA results on Monday eeeeekkkkk! Why did the tww have to be right before my final exam??

7dpo and feels like 700. GL girls about to test..... and everyone else of course

Girly hope your temps stay up hun. Do you sometimes o on your own?

Xx

 

[Buttercup77]

I'm right there with you Nimbec & Fern!! I'm trying to keep busy. I won't test only if AF is missed.

Good luck! xo

 

[Girly123]

Nimbec thanks for that it makes perfect sense. I don't spot normally in 2ww but I don't ovulate on my own so I haven't ovulated for years and years so then again don't really know lol. Hopefully it will shoot up tomorrow and not down. I hope you can last until 12dpo to test and have my fingers crossed. Pinkee and Buttercup you as well, good luck.

Fern thank you.


Xx

Can I please Join you lovely ladies? I have two beatiful kids my DD is 10 and DS is 5. I had PCOS with my daughter so I was use to the metformin. We've been trying for our third for about a year and a half. My doctor did my day 21 labs and my progesteone was literally 0.5 so off to clomid I start. Never taken it before. Also thru my work i have access to infertility so she set me up with a specialist to see if I wanna do IUi or IVF. I told my husband we will try this clomid and see if this works if not we will look into IUI or IVf. He is also getting tested. I went four months without a period took provera to jump start me last month so far bFN tests. Waiting for AF so I can start clomid.

Welcome Motherof2. Hope your wait goes by fast!

 

[nimbec]

Welcome motherof2

So I am clearly a poas ahollic as tonight I have laid out on the toilet shelf 1 opened ready to go pregnancy test, 1 cup to pee incase test is faulty & a one step cheapie test too! So I guess I'm not making it to 12 dpo before testing ....pmsl!! I have such rubbish will power 😧

Night all x

 

[Girly123]

Well you waited until 11dpo which isn't bad at all so don't worry about it. I hope it is a positive for you. Keep us updated xx

 

[babylaw720]

I knew FF was wrong! This morning it took away my O again, but I had a lot of ewcm so I took an opk tonight and it was definitely positive! and because I'm a poas addict and waiting for my dh to get home from work, I took another one a few hours later and still positive! Fingers crossed!

 

[nimbec]

Oooh babylaw FX for you - get bding !

Well BFN for me - I never learn they still hurt as much and i still hold them under the light straining to see if i can see anything but nope this is properly stark white so i now need to get my head around moving on as this is the end of the ttc road for me. absolutely gutted doesn't even come close to how i feel today i know it 'could' happen still but its very unlikley so i will now just wait for AF to come next week

 

[k4th]

Nimbec - so so sorry it was a bfn. I've pm-ed you

Babylaw - go get busy! & good luck

motherof2. Good luck on your clomid journey. My 50mg side effects weren't too bad - mostly just hot flashes. Hope you don't get too many either.

Sarahlou - glad you got an extra bd in. Good luck this month

 

[Girly123]

Nimbec sorry it was a BFN. I know how hard it is seeing the white and no line. Hugs hun.

Babylaw defo get BDing and good luck hunnie.

My temp went up this morning so still looking good for ovulation. Is it possible for progesterone to increase urination? I woke up at 6 to take my temp as normal then went to the loo. Then woke up at 8:30 desperate for the loo. I am not someone that drinks a lot of goes to the loo much at all. I didn't drink anything between 6 and 8:30 either. Nipples are sore which is a sign of ovulation for me as well so that is good. Feeling sick this morning but think it is the stupid metformin xx

 

[nimbec]

Thanks everyone

Girly I would say you definitely ovulated! Not heard of P inc loo trips but I do know that clomid can give u pregnancy symptoms in the 2ww and that is a pg symptom so could be that? Just a thought!
