***December Testing thread - hoping for a Christmas Miracle***

[Suggerhoney]

I've had opks be very nearly positive and then back to very negative the next day and then get the peak a few days later.
Hope ovulation holds off

Great news on the job front alligator.

Suggerhoney at least if they think a scan is needed they will refer you for one. If you saw them in person you probably would have had to wait any way.

I hope it goes well.

AfM. Not much to report. Hoping the fact that I stopped bf ds3 doesn't mess my cycle up. Gonna start with opk tom just incase I go early.

Hi Alligator! I remember you from the boards when I was ttc my 2nd. Hope you got the job you were wanting! Happy to see you back here.

Thats true hon never thought of it like that.
I'm just hoping I will be pregnant so won't need any tests

My lunch time test is just an anomaly right? I hadn’t been to the toilet since like 7.30am and I took me 1hour to to look at the test (not the 30 mins max suggested- panicking now)

I think it is still not quite positive. Keep testing

I don’t want it to be positive so very glad I’m be super worried if it was I shouldn’t get a positive until CD13

 

[Reiko_ctu]

@Deethehippy did you test today??

 

[ciz]

No I’ve got creamy CM and I always get watery for a day before EWCM. Normally get a positive OPK on CD 13 so 3 more days never had one this dark this early. It went straight back down so hoping it was the length of hold and lack of fluids

Ye I think your right what the reason could have been. Come on 3 more days for you +OPK

 

[MadamRose]

@Suggerhoney I started my check OPKs on CD 5 I've never had a positive before like CD 12 or 13 . I clearly have a POAS addiction as I'm taking 4 a day! 41 definitely isnt that old in terms of having children any more - do not let him fob you off with something like age.

@Alligator congratulations on the job front. Hope things contine to settle with hubby too.

@ciz my tests dipped back down a little this evening so I am panicking less - they are a new batch so it could just be they measure slightly different to old batch.

@Deethehippy did you test?

As for me I am trying not to get to excited - i have my first donation of this cycle tomorrow evening. I have donations due for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with an extra on saturday if needed depending on when my OPK and clearblue peak.

Please do

Out of curiosity what is ferning lol.

Out of curiosity what is ferning lol.

It’s a small microscope test. you put a small bit of saliva on the glass and look through the microscope. In your saliva when the estrogen starts (close to your ovulation) a fern pattern (fern like plant pattern) will start appearing in your saliva. I wouldn’t use this method on its own though. I go by cm and use opks too

 

[MinnieMcMoose]

Wow, this thread is getting busy, struggling to keep up already lol
I had a flashing smiley today on a CB digital dual indicator. I normally go straight from circle to solid smiley, so I'm taking it as a good sign that this Letrozole cycle is going to be better.

Had a phone appointment with my gynae today too. He's gonna get hubby sent for a new sperm test as his last one was on the low side of normal.
As for me, he was happy with the ovary scan I had the other day. Says I have a polycystic ovaries but not polycystic ovary syndrome! And the polycystic ovaries are a sign that my ovarian reserve is still high, which is great considering I'm a few weeks away from turning 39.

 

[J_and_D]

Still negative opk

I’m gonna have to change my test date but will leave it a couple days and see if anything happens.

What cd are you?

 

[J_and_D]

[Bevziibubble]

@ciz that's very interesting!

 

[Bevziibubble]

CD17 and still neg on opk....super bummed..

I hope you get a positive opk soon.
