PCOS Buddies (10 BFP)

I'm so sorry Star.

Can I ask a question to fellow temping ladies...I forgot to temp first thing this morning and only remembered after I had already jumped out of bed to go unlock front door for our domestic and went to the toilet. I thought that all the movement would mean my temp would be higher than actual but instead it was on the low side (was same as prev days temp which had also been a bit low due to natural dip in dpo cycle before AF arrives). It was a cold morning as well. Is it suppose to work that way or have I got it totally scewed?

 

[KylasBaby]

I wouldn't use it. There's an adjuster that can be used if you wake at a different time, but it's still supposed to be before you get up and still right when you wake up. I wouldn't trust it with all that movement and everything.

I believe our temps are higher before we get up but I'm not totally sure. Been a while since I read up on everything (when ttc DD so 2 years ago. Mommy brain haha)

 

[krissie328]

I would just discard it and see what tomorrow's temp does.

I woke up 3 hours early today do didn't bother to temp. I'm gonna try to temp while traveling but not sure how messed up they will be.

Opk is negative now. I did two OPKs. One I couldn't tell if it was still positive or if it wasn't quite as dark, but it looked lighter after I took it then dried pretty even. The other was clearly negative. Line still dark but much lighter than the control. So I'm pretty positive my surge is over. 3 positives yesterday am and pm and this am. So probably ovulated/will ovulate today. My ovaries this morning felt so huge and full. Like I had a couple of grapefruits down there. And I had a nasty headache. I don't get them much since I started going to a chiropractor so I'm assuming it was hormonal. I usually get one either just before or during AF I forget right now. But that's 3 positive OPKs when I've never had ONE before! Yay! Hopefully Dd sleeps past 6 the next few days so my temps can confirm ovulation!

Yup just discard it Aphy. Some people can get a quite accurate temp after getting up or moving a little. Just discard.

I start my first Clomid pill tonight! Feeling nervous!

 

[krissie328]

That's great kylas. What cd are you?

Good luck Sarah. Fx it works!

Afm, officially on vacation with no hubby. So unless I ovulate after I come back I'm out this cycle. Given I'm already cd 21 I'm not optimistic this cycle.

 

[Aphy]

Thanks everyone for the inputs! This mornings temp was only .1 degree higher than my previous 2 mornings so either way it makes no difference since its also on the low side. Based on temps alone I think I am out, should definitely be much higher if it was my month. Now just waiting around for AF to eventually show, probably in the next 2-3 days or so.

@Sarah, I am so happy for you about starting Clomid! I know you have waited long for this. GL!

@Kylas, congrats on the +opks! Fx for you this cycle!

@Krissie, sorry DH is away

 

[Betty.Rubble]

Good luck Sarah! Hugs Krissie x

AFM - Upped the metformin to 1.5g a day today. Nothing happening as yet. Really want to get the fertility clinic referral done but don't want to stress OH out as we've got a lot going on right now so will be patient.

Unfortunately yesterday was cd23! With the inositol I've been ovulating cd 19/18/17, but I really fell off my diet and exercise plan so I think that set me back a few days. And the stress of our new house. But we close September 29th! So hopefully things will calm down. Back on my diet too, but my treadmill is broken and I won't have a new one until we're in new house. But at least I can do better with the diet again. Bye bye carbs and dairy and everything delicious haha.

Sorry you're probably out. But enjoy a nice vacation!

 

[krissie328]

Makes sense kylas. I'm gonna start back on my diet when I get back home. I'm hoping a better diet will let me respond better to the fertility meds.

My appointment at the fertility clinic got moved up from October to the 28th of this month Gave me a tiny wave of new hope! HOPEFULLY the 20th month ttc can be a good one!

So ... I've been having these cramps for two days... I was going to take an OPK this morning, but I had already pee'd before I thought about it.
My app is "predicting" that my fertile window started today...but I don't really trust it, since it's only based off my starting info (this being my first "real" cycle tracking on the app).
I've never O'd before (from what I can remember these past few years) so I have no clue what is going on with me!
I've felt wet, but only a little creamy looking that is really thin, and seems to absorb into my liner --- I'm thinking this is "watery" and possibly "EW" (but it's not stringy, unless it's dried up before I check?!)

@_@ I'm so stressed and confused

 

[KylasBaby]

May - that's great! I hope they're able to help!

Star - you can still take an opk. You're not supposed to use fmu with them anyway. A lot of women take them in the morning and night as some have a short LH surge, but most surge between 2-4pm I believe so that's a good time to take one as well. If it's a little creamy I would consider it that. It should be clear if it's watery or ewcm. I have a few days of what I call cloudy cm. it's just a bit creamy mostly watery but that's not watery. After a few days of that it usually goes to watery.

Hey girls! im sorry i have been gone for long. Just dealing with my stupid pcos still my weight gain is so fast, im just not feeling good mentally.
Im 17weeks and already gained 13pounds.

After coming of metformin, i gained like 5-6 pounds in like couple of days so im thinking its because i was dietting and on metformin before the pregnancy so now my body is packing on everything i eat.

Also my acne didnt get better at all, so i look ugly and fat. Oh well, its all worth it for the baby ha

May im glad u are back to ttc!!

How are u ladies doing? Kylasbaby are u taking a break?

 

[KylasBaby]

No no break we haven't started ttc yet. Still WTT until January. Getting close! Only like 3 cycles to go

 

[StarGazerRose]

Ah well 2-4 isn't gonna work for me as I'm at work, and I just don't feel like carrying around something else in my purse ....It's already needs a mule to carry it... (ok well that's my "lunch" bag, but still.)
So I might take it when I get home from work.

You guys I really hope I am Oing, cause this would be probably my first actual time feeling like I'm getting somewhere!

I always take my OPK when I get home from work which is only around 19:00 in the evening so you can do that too

 

[KylasBaby]

I had 3 positives the past days. 2 in the morning and 1 at night so they can be anytime. 2-4 is just the most common time I guess.

 

[StarGazerRose]

Well either way I'm taking one when I get home.
Mine is a digital, but I'll check the pink lines when I pull take the stick out.
