Awe I can imagine that being upsetting a bit...i bet you will have better luck once you get AF to flush out your system

Oh sweetie I'm so sorry! I know it's hard when you are happy because it's someone you care for but it's hard because you want it too and have so many more hurdles you're dealing with. Stay strong and it's okay if you need to take a few moments to just think about yourself!

I'm pretty sure now i didnt ovulate. Today was the deciding factor as yesterdays temp is pretty much a write off because I hardely got a decent sleep tossing and turning. All my high temps were from taking my temp at the wrong time. So I think I'm just gonna delete them and be more delegent about waking up at the right time now.
*edit: I'm going to base my cycle off of that bleed I had after I took the 4 bcps. It seems to correspond better with my CM. Will see if I ovulate soon now...

Hi everyone - would love to join you. I came off BCP on 12th September after 7 years on Ovranette. Since then I have had 8 cycles ranging from 23-28 days. Average seems to be 25/26 days. This is our first month of TTC properly!

 

[twinkie2]

Welcome lauraloo!!! Good luck on your first cycle ttc then!! I wish I would have quit bcp prior to actually trying. Do you do anything to track O?

Update but don't think it's a good one, I don't really understand tbh!

So the repeat bloods taken on Tuesday (3 weeks after the last set, and 3 weeks of 1500mg Metformin/strict GI diet/exercise) as as follows:

First Bloods:

Testosterone 2.1
FSH 7.1
LH 20

New Bloods

Testosterone 2.7 (0.6 increase!!! how!!!)
FSH 2.5
LH 13
Eostridial (sorry spelling) NORMAL (don't know the actual result but requested that one to rule out oestrogen dominance

So even though my levels have reduced, the ratio between the FSH:LH and the testosterone is even worse!!!

At a loss now Just hope the norethisterone (progesterone) I am taking does something.......

I take opks with varying degrees of success! But I do get other signs like one sided pain during o so that helps x

 

[twinkie2]

Been pretty quiet in here the past few days!! How is everyone doing? Anyone testing soon.

Wbam-are you still taking the progesterone or have you finished it. Very curious to hear how you are coming along.

ASM, 10dpo and saw a super squinter yesterday, was hoping for a better line today, but it was just as faint Starting to think I'm nuts and nothing was really even there. What do you ladies think?

 

[prachipie]

OMG!!! Twinkle, I see it!!! Congrats dear!!!

 

[twinkie2]

OMG!!! Twinkle, I see it!!! Congrats dear!!!

I'm so glad someone else is, makes me feel a little more sane! How are you doing, you're chart looks really good!!!

 

[prachipie]

I'm even on my phone and I see it no problem. I might test here in the next 30 mins or so. I thought my high temp yesterday was bc of a glass of wine at dinner the night before but similar high temp today. Feel like I'll be so bummed with a bfn though.

Are you going to test with a digi? Wow, BCP at 10dpo is awesome!

 

[twinkie2]

No I'll wait, I'm using 10miu super sensitive tests and it's barely registering. I've heard digis are like 50miu so I think I'll pick one up this week, but I'll wait to use it til after my missed period on Thursday.

I think if you have one more day of these higher temps your chart would be considered triphasic, a good pregnancy indicator!! Fx'd for you, please post your results whenever you do test! I understand waiting and not wanting to see a bfn, I a poas-aholic and can't resist. Even have a party page that another member and I started so that we could poas since 6dpo and not be ashamed

 

[prachipie]

This just happened. Wow.

 

[Wnt2beAMom]

Congrats Prachipie! Let's see another test Twinkie

FF is saying I ovulated. But its broken crosshairs for some reason. I was drinking last night so not sure if that increases temp? I didn't really get any other indicator of O. So I'm not sure about it.

 

[twinkie2]

This just happened. Wow.

YAYYYYY! I knew you had it!! Your chart just looked way to good!

Wnt2be-I wouldn't be concerned about the cross hairs right now. I'm guessing you did ovulate. The drinking may have increased your temp very slightly but I'm guessing not enough that you are getting a bad reading. Tomorrows temp will help you know better!

 

[Wnt2beAMom]

Thanks. I'll see tomorrow We did BD the day before O and this O date would be a due date of CHRISTMAS DAY! Haha lol

 

[prachipie]

Thanks guys!! We're super excited. A little sooner than we thought it would happen but great news! Do you think I need to take more test or now just wait to go to the doctor?

 

[Wtbam]

Congrats prachiepie!

Twinkie on my phone so can't look at the test properlt.... I will look tomorrow on the pc.

I am on day 6 of a 10 day course of progesterone. The only thing I have noticed is that I am tired, and my nipples are sensitive. My only slight worry is that I DID ovulate when I had the opk's (and it was a slow fising temp perhaps?), and then when I stop taking the progesterone I could affect a pregnancy if there is one.

I would be 14dpo on the last day of tablets if I did ovulate, so I will test again then just to make sure!

 

[twinkie2]

Prachipie-that's really up to you. I know a lot of women quit after they get the digi positive, others use line progression. Since your digi shows 2-3 weeks already I'd say you're pretty good to give your doc a call and go from there!! So excited for you, hope to be joining you officially soon!

wtbam-I'd test at the end to just to be sure as well. Good luck!

 

[Wnt2beAMom]

Hey Twinkie, I just looked at your picture again on the computer and it is a little squinty, I think you should take another test tomorrow or something! You are still early for testing, so don't give up hope!
