Amy how are you today? Are you still bleeding? Any pain? I’m thinking about you.
Mone, so good to see you babe. I figured you were taking a break. I seem to have to take breaks from B&B after my mcs too. But I can’t stay away forever. Sounds like you have really been taking care of yourself. I’m glad you feel ok about AF coming and have realized you weren’t ready. Now you can enjoy your wine! To answer your question, I usually don’t test positive so early, but in the past I’ve only used ICs when testing early. They aren’t as sensitive as a FRER. This time I used a FRER and got a BFN. I don’t have any symptoms like I have in the past. I really just know I’m not pregnant.
Lucy, this is what the website Pee On A Stick says: What if my OPK is positive for several days in a row? It is possible, in a normal ovulation, to have a positive OPK for several days in a row. This is because LH peaks (surges) about 12-36 hours before ovulation occurs, and then dissipates. So, you could theoretically detect this high level of LH with positive OPK's from the time it begins to the time it dissipates-- over 36 hours.
It is also possible that your body is "gearing up" to ovulate, and you have an LH surge-- and then, for some reason (such as stress, illness, travel, or random fluke), your body fails to release an egg . . . then tries, tries again ASAP with another, or overlapping, surge. If you see a positive OPK for longer than 3 consecutive days, your egg is probably just having a little trouble getting out of the starting gate. If this happens to you occasionally, it's no big deal. If it happens a lot, talk to your doctor.
Dazed, rant away. I’m sorry about your frustration. And your dog story. You’ll never know if that’s what caused it. My guess is that the pregnancy wasn’t viable and that your dog had nothing to do with it. Have you seen a fertility specialist? It might be time to talk to someone.
Sugar, damn the witch and NHS and short LP! I’m taking 200mg of progesterone every 12 hours. I didn’t know you could do it up the bum! You might want to start with the cream before using the suppositories. We know you most likely have low progesterone, but it could be caused by weak ovulation. If that’s the case, the cream and/or suppositories, might not be beneficial. You might need to take Clomid or Femara to help with ovulation which will in turn fix your LP and progesterone production. I know you are frustrated and feel like time is running out but you do need to work with your doctor on this. You don’t want to mess your cycle up too much.
Cesca, amazing news and picture! I had no doubt! I’m glad you are feeling ok now.
Vicky, how are you feeling today? Thanks for the kind words.
Raz, it is completely normal to lose PMA. Especially if you aren’t feeling symptoms. But as you said, it is normal not to feel anything right now. After a loss, you are always going to feel scared, it’s just part of the process. I have a good feeling about your baby.
Jenny, I have my fingers crossed for you that you’ll be able to get your bloods done in December. Good luck!
Nato and Allie!!!
Megg, hope you are done and all went well. Can’t wait for your update!
Nothing to report from me. Feeling very unpregnant. We’re having a going away party for a co-worker and there will be champagne. I really want to drink it. Think I will. I’m hoping to finish Megg’s blanket today too!

I haven't really caught up. My heart is broken. I only managed to get 4 eggs retrieved. I don't really want to talk about it, and I don't want to hear "it only takes one." I feel completely hopeless. My crib was waiting on me when I got home, and I'm now more sure than ever that I'll never have a baby to put in it.

Yeah i got that today Dazed. I think our minds are designed to look for reasons, because without reasons such traumas are harder to understand. It would take a heavy blow to hurt you to that extent. Ive even blamed my mum for 'making' me clean with chemicals in advance of her staying - shes very critical of things like grubby bathrooms. Ive been trying almost as long as you, and feel that fear it wont happen. I can empathise with you on that, as im sure all the unpregnant discoers can. Crystal ball for table 10 please.
just back from my follow-up-to-the-tests GP app, and I've reached the end of the road with the NHS - nothing more they can do for me, so its Mr T for me from now on. She said all my results were very encouraging and i just have to keep trying. I cant have a lap and dye or lapscropthingy as Im not eligible for NHS ivf. They will only do those things if Im planning nhs IVF. I have been sent the info from Mr T's clinic, so i have to now send in payment for the initial consultation and they will then book it for me.
Allie, i think its still gearing up too, what was your temp today? Your temps are a bit erratic so its hard to see but def looks like theres a rise yet to come - was your peak on Sunday? hope your rise has started
Sugar, sorry about the spotting - it does sound like you need some progesterone, your temp shift looks good though so hopefully thats a good sign. Did you ever investigate soy? Thats supposed to strengthen ov. You need that damned appointment! did you get your test results back this afternoon?
Amy, how are you getting on? Thinking bout you x
Hiya Luce, Im ok thanks, still in a bit of a moody about awol husband. Your opks, i had lots of positive opks in a row after my mc, i read that after mc your hormones can still be settling for a couple of months. But a few days of +ve isnt unusual for the reasns hearty said. I also read that if your body is trying to ov and not quite managing it, it can stimulate a few days of +ves too - think thast what happened to me, as hearty said, it keeps surging to try and erode the follicle and release the egg. Couple of days of surge is DEFO preferable to no surge at all <positivehat>
Razzers, is your next scan the 12 week one? The anxiety needs putting in its place - its not fair what us TTCAL'ers have to cope with.
Where's yogi? I want to see todays bfp
haha at Jenny peddling her prescription drugs to sugar. good work. Stupid red tops. Whatever they are. They sound like they might be stupid
Hi Mone!! good to see ya. This whole being out of london thing sounds great - glad youve had a bit of time to relax and stare at fires. If you are CD2 or 3, you might still catch it - ov on CD14 on 19th Dec? Might be worth putting the travels back a day or 2 if you can. Might also be good to miss this month and get squiffy on NYE. Thats my plan.
Boo at unpregnancy Hearty. I seem to be talking a lot about this, but champagne is a great booby prize.
Megg, sorry to hear that sweetie. All i can say is that you are in good company and I wont ask more if you aren't up to it, but let us know if you want to talk. You have to feel the hopelessness and whatever else is going on. You have been through so much to get to this point, and expectations of what the best case for the retrieval could be, will make anything less feel like shit. Its not great if you wanted more (or should have gotten more), but my dr told me of a 51 year old patient pregnant through IVF today, i bet she only got 2 eggs. My sister had her twins off her last 2 frozen embryos. We dont know how this is going to go for you, i know that, but in the meantime, we're here. Me and Vic can break stuff on your behalf.
