Ovulated late but i've ovulated!

[rachelle1975]

Hey guys

Well i got a line that's pretty much the same colour as the control line on my ebay OPKs - did it this morning and this evening after work and this evening was a little darker so figure at some point in the next 48 hours i should definitely ovulate. Bizarrely i have no EWCM.... have had very little CM at all this month. Sorry for TMI but........... externally i'm a little dry and internally it's wet and a little lotiony but that's it. It's just real odd as i always have EWCM but the passed 2 months the whole CM stuff has dried up. Does anyone know if stress/worry/being a tit can do this?

Got my bloods booked for next Monday and then another one the week after. DH has to abstain for 3 days and so i've said to him to wait until comes as it's less than 2 weeks away - that way if we do get lucky (fingers crossed) this month he doesn't have to go through it all....... Jeez what a nice wifey i am!

Hope you are all doing okay!

Yay for ovulating....have you brought preseed to help with the dryness?

Also are you still taking EPO?

 

[Loula]

yeah it'll be the being a tit....


silly moo LMAFO!!!!

Great news that it seems ov is imminent

Well i am taking EPO and have been for 3 months but i seem to be getting drier not wetter?!?!?! Had some last night and was fine when we got going if you catch my drift... just seem to be totally dry externally and no EWCM?!?

And obviously i can be a bit dense but those ovulation sticks - the line wasn't as dark as it looked initially and so now i have no clue!

Bugger.

Ah well, docs on Monday!

I would say stop taking epo, i stopped as it made me dry and then this month i got EWCM for the first time since coming off the pill

honestly dont think EPO works

Really???

Man i have never had a problem with dryness and i normally get an abundance of EWCM but this month and last month, nothing, nada zip! I was wondering if it was to do with my ovulation being a bit wonky but i think i'll stop with the EPO!

Double checked my OPK sticks from yesterday - the line isn't quite as dark as the control line and today it's very faint - no EWCM at all - maybe i've not ovulated yet?!?!

Thanks for your help Bird - i think i'm getting more confused and nervous especially with hospital next week

why 48 hours?
Rachel i thought when you have a positive opk you ovulating in the next 12-36 hours?

 

[miel]

The female body produces something called luteinizing hormone (LH.) It is present in the urine almost all the time, but increases significantly-- surges-- about 12-36 hours before ovulation. An OPK detects LH in your urine and gives you a positive result when it detects this surge.

Woot for ovulation! I would try and stop EPO if it's not helping with the CM. Good luck and get

dont wait 48 hours u should ovulate within 12 - 36 after the positive test, good luck!!

 

[rachelle1975]

Ah don't worry ladies i didn't wait! Packet for OPKS said 'within 48 hours of positive) so we are giving a go every other day! We did it the day i got the + OPK and also today - was shattered last night thought 'we should' but figured that since it was meant to be our month off 'should' wasn't good enough - only WANT! he he

Had a little CM this morning and i think it was EWCM but that is the lost - it's getting worse as the months go on!

At least if i have my bloods done on Monday (CD22) if i have ovulated it will show it by then eh?

I am feeling quite serene today........ apart from my bottom burps!
