Good morning Ladies,

Roseorbit - I have a question I got a Peak smiley face today on my ClearBlue Advanced Ovulation Digitial test. Should I stop taking the Primrose now, cut back on the Royal Jelly and B-6? Please help

 

[Soanxious]

I have no idea about meds I will have someone else answer that..but Great news about OV.. hopefully you will get your SHBFP here's to your TWW

 

[brighteyez73]

Soanxious - does the smiley face mean I have ovulated already?

 

[Soanxious]

Flashing smile means high fertility.. constant smile peak fertility

https://www.clearblueeasy.com/healthcare/clearblue-advanced-digital-ovulation-test.php

Smiley Face - This is the user's most fertile time and the result will be displayed for 2 days. If the user has intercourse today she will maximize her chance of getting pregnant. The user should stop testing after the first day that Peak Fertility is displayed (3 error symbols will be displayed simultaneously if she continues to test).

Hey Hun, from what I understand, when you get the solid smiley, you should O between 24-36 hrs or something like that. When I get my solid smiley, I start BDing right away, and then the next day also. I usually O the day after solid smiley, but I have O'd two days after in one of my cycles. So I just BD until my temp rises (not sure if you temp or not?). If you don't temp, I'd just BD for three days to be safe. But that's just me! I'm sure everyone is a little different.

EDIT:
Oops, I just saw that you do temp! Sorry about that, somehow I missed your chart, hehe. So that's good. I'd be BDing at least until you see the temp spike. A lot of times, I even BD the morning of the temp spike, just in case that eggie is still hanging around in there early that morning, lol. They say the egg can hang around for 12-24 hrs for some women, so it's possible it could still be in there the next morning. But that might just be me being obsessive, hehe! Oh, and I think you can keep taking the EPO until you see your temp spike, and then stop taking it during the TWW. I dont know about the other two that you mentioned though. I'm sure B6 is fine, as it's in prenatals too. I'm not sure about Royal Jelly. xoxo

For those asking about your cycles after your m/c, I can tell you my experience... I O'd a few days late on cd16. When I take Clomid, I O on cd 13/14. When I don't take Clomid, I O around day 10/11. Well, since I wasn't allowed to take the Clomid during the month after my m/c, I assumed I would O cd 10/11 like I usually do without clomid. So I was 6 days later than normal on an unmedicated cycle. I suppose it's possible the Clomid was still in my system from the prior months, but then that still means I O'd 2-3 days late.

As for how long my cycle was... I'm usually anywhere from 26-32 days. Ever since clomid though, they are 28-32 days. With that one being an unmedicated cycle, again, I thought I'd get AF by day 28, but it was still 31 days. So I suppose it was a little bit on the longer side. But it's not unheard of for me to have a 31-day cycle, so I can't say for sure. It's almost like it pushed everything off by three days or so. But not too bad.

I thought I would post here what I did. I'm hoping it works. I fall pregnant a lot but they end early. I haven't made it past 5+4 with the last 4 BFP's.

I went to the Dr. he told me to keep trying. That there are probably 2 factors working against me. Age and the fact that I just had 2 back to back pregnancies. I'm 30 and I thought REALLY! Anyways, he wouldn't do anything! He said to "Keep trying and if it happened again he'd refer me to the specialist.

I told him about my LP. But he thought since I've made it past 5 weeks on more than one cycle that it was fine some cycles. But, AF would come even with BFP.

So. I took Progesterone Cream, I bought over the counter and have been taking it since 3dpo. B6 since week 1, which I would've started much earlier had I had it on hand. And then the prenatals, I've now been taking for years.

Hope this helps someone if they are needing to extend their LP. I hope this dose is strong enough to keep a sticky.

Age!!! 30 is young! That's still a perfectly fine age for pregnancy, I'm surprised he said that. I'm 37, so I know time against me, lol. But at 30, you should be fine. I have a prescription for Progesterone. Although my Dr doesn't seem to think I'm low (he tested it, but he tested it two days after I O'd, he didnt do the day21 test, and he said it was normal for that point in my cycle). So anyway, he still gave me a prescription because he said it certainly never hurts when a woman is prego! And since I miscarried so early, he said it's "possible" that my uterine lining just wasn't thick enough, and that the P would help. I took it last month, but I haven't been taking it this month. I'm going to start taking it if I get a faint BFP again. But I've scheduled an appt with a FS finally (just in case I dont get prego this month).... March 31st is my appt. And I want them to do all the monitoring...check the thickness of my uterine lining, day3 and day21 tests, u/s to confirm ovulation, etc. GL with this pregnancy Hun!! I have a feeling its gonna go perfect for you this time!!!

Ok.... last post, I promise, haha! I haven't checked in for a while now, so I guess I just wanted to catch up with everyone.

Sorry to all who got AF or are getting BFNs. We'll just keep on trying! I know some of us had our m/c's a few months ago, and some are new to the thread. I had my HSG done earlier this month, and as it turns out, I had a blockage in my right tube all this time! At least now I know what has been contributing to how long it took me to get prego! Anyway, they were able to clear the blockage by adding more dye and pressure!!! Such great news! But my body is doing weird things... My temp rose two days after my last clomid pill, which would mean I O'd a day after the last pill. I didnt think it was possible for that to happen, so I'm a little concerned and confused. I wasn't using my OPKs that early, because I thought it was too early, so i have no idea if they would've been positive or not. The day I saw my temp go up, I thought...hmmm, this is strange... So I started using the OPKs, but they were negative. And they've stayed negative. So I dont really know what's going on. FF didn't give me CHs, so I had to just put my own in there. Who knows if I even O'd.... but how could my temps have gone up if I didn't??? Anyway, I wish I could hear some stories of other girls who feel like they may have O'd the day after their last clomid pill.

Not much to report but I think it's good to update at the very least.

Bloodwork confirmed that I'm not pregnant. 7 days late and I have very very light spotting when I wipe finally! Not getting my hopes up for a full cycle but I'm glad something is happening

So sorry for the neg blood test. There's nothing worse than that waiting. Seems it's all we ever do, huh? Waiting to O, waiting to test, waiting for AF. But at least you feel like maybe your new cycle will start soon and you can get back to trying. Remind me, when was your mc? It's hard to keep up now since so many ladies have joined. It's truly heartbreaking how many of us have been through this, and now all we want is to see that bfp again.

I didn't use anything the month I got prego and had a m/c. I used pre-seed the last two cycles but had a short LP (9 days). Using pre-seed this cycle and going in to get my progesterone checked around 7dpo...hoping for a sticky bfp! I also BD at night and put my bottom up for 20 minutes, then I roll over flat and go to sleep.

Good idea with the mooncup, I have never heard of them. I may have to do some research!

Fx'd you get a bfp soon too!

 

[brighteyez73]

Hello ladies,

How is everyone? I am so excited because for the first time I have EWCM. So we have been BDing for the last 4days. I think it's from my cocktail of vitamins that I have been taking this month. Can't wait to get home and share with hubby. I am having fun with it this cycle not really stressing or worrying too much. No headaches or tiredness from stressing just plain-o fun not to mention I think hubby is enjoying the less stressful me. LOL

Well people use softcups and mooncups I already have a mooncup for AF which I have used for 18 months as it is much better than tampons and is lot safer as well as it being environmentally friendly as you reuse it for up to 3 years, its the best thing I bought, I even bought them for my daughters as its better than towels or tampons and works out a lot cheaper. £18 for 3 years.
