Crystal - my thermometer only measures tenths of degrees, but I thought that was fine since it's the one that came with my conceive easy kit??

JandJ - glad to see you back and to hear that you're feeling better. I was wondering where you'd gone. GL with this cycle

 

[JandJPlus1]

I'm crossing my fingers and toes and everything except the legs lol. I really would love a Christmas BFP. I think the hubby is really really on board for this cycle, it's the most involved he has seemed since we started. He's also been very lovey since I got sick. I think it scared him a little to see me in the hospital so sick. It's kind of nice, I hope it sticks.

Querida - maybe a more experienced temper can chime in but I believe it's recommended to use one that goes to the hundredths because they're more accurate.

Hey ladies, just another quick question re lengthening my lp, if it works is it more likely you O earlier or your cycles end up being longer? I plan to just bd pretty much every other day all cycle but just thought if see if anyone has any insight. I don't plan to temp or do opks during this cycle as trying to be a bit more relaxed.

You O day should stay where it is and your cycle will lengthen. Are you going to try B6?

 

[Babylove100]

Yep I'm taking 100mg a day. Hope that's not too much, it says 200mg is the max so I thought I'd go somewhere in the middle

 

[Tui]

Good luck. It seems to be successful from what I've read.

 

[Babylove100]

Fx crossed, I'm not using opks this cycle so I won't know what's happening but as we're away for our anniversary, I didn't want it to end up me testing for O every 4 hours!!

 

[Tui]

That's nice, yes go with the flow and enjoy some romantic times.

 

[Babylove100]

Thank you, I cannot wait!!

How you doing?

 

[Tui]

I'm good, thank you. Worried as usual but trying to chill. I've even changed my status to something more positive.

Fertility thermometers must have 4 points. Example 36.4 is not enough. It needs to be something like 36.48.

Ladies - I need some help over here! (please feel free to click my chart!)

Last cycle I had a positive OPK on CD14 and ovulated for sure on CD15.
I've today got my FIFTH high fertility on my monitor!
Temp has risen a tad. IC OPK negative - in fact, more so than yesterdays!
I'm starting to think my left ovary is broken

Please someone, make sense of this - I'm worrying I haven't and will not ovulate.

 

[laurac1988]

Keep going with the OPKs and monitor. Sometimes ovulation changes each month.
Have you used the monitor before? I used it for one cycle and it never gave me a peak... But I did have fifteen highs in a row and positive OPKs on cheapies. Apparently it takes a couple of cycles to get used to you.
Fingers crossed you will ovulate soon. It's impossible to say whether you will or you won't, so all you can do is keep fingers crossed and hope for the best

Thank you! I really hope I do! I think the monitor sticks are a little darker than yesterdays but not by much! It's like a monitor but not, it's a disposable one-cycle only type of thing! I hope my temperature drops again tomorrow and I do ovulate tomorrow, I don't think I have any chance of ovulating today now, both OPK's are negative (not darker or anything) etc. I just hope my ovary is working okay!

 

[Querida87]

Morning ladies! Pink is hpt blue is opk and slight temp rise prompted the tests. Nausea is returning and I feel like I'm getting a stomach bug. Miss - I ordered a two month conceive easy ttc kit and the thermometer only measure tenths of a degree. I bought a better one.

To be honest, I only found out last cycle it really matters, LOL. I was putting in 3 digits until someone told me the accuracy if I'd put in the full four.

Tests look good. Any idea how many dpo you are? How many days until AF is due? Hopefully the OPK will turn positive and it's not just a natural LH surge before AF.

My BFN from this morning. 11DPO.

 

[Miss406]

My BFN from this morning. 11DPO.

I think I see an evap on that test! Certainly no colour. Do you have any FRER to use tomorrow? Maybe it's still just too early sweetie. Fingers crossed!

 

[Bug222]

Spotting stopped so I took an IC... Bfn so I guess it's just a strange cycle again

 

[drjo718]

13dpo today. just waiting to test...
