Today's OPK (CD 11)

 

[Lisa2701]

Confirmed with a smiley face

NEVER EVER had a smiley face before I lost the weight, I am SO excited, we at least stand a chance of getting our BFP if I am now ovulating!!

 

[baby_rose]

Fx for u !

 

[Lisa2701]

Thanks baby rose. I've had awful cramps, bloating and nausea today, ovulation I assume.

 

[baby_rose]

How long had u been taking opksgirl?

 

[Lisa2701]

Only started on CD10 and got a positive on CD11. I'd been away the entire week leading up to that so hadn't been able to test. My nipples are SO sensitive today. It's all new to me because although I TTC for 3 years previously I wasn't ovulating so never got any of this.

 

[baby_rose]

Yey again im sure ur excited what kick started ur ovulation?

For the weight loss? Yeah, I had a gastric sleeve where they remove most of your stomach and create a tiny pouch, best thing I done!

For fertility? We seen a fertility specialist before but they wouldn't help us because of my weight. At least now I could get medical help should we need it.

Where in your cycle are you?

 

[baby_rose]

True its very emotional as forme im just around ovulation if i o at all Ihave these wondfo opks but not really getting positives

 

[Lisa2701]

Aw it's super frustrating when those lines just won't get dark. I'm sure it'll happen soon. When do you usually ovulate?

 

[baby_rose]

Aw I used to temp, I was never great at it, I'd forget too often lol. Got bored after months and months of nothing lol. I hope the temping works for you. How have you managed to extend you LP? I hope it works for you! I hear that a lot of people don't get accurate readings with the strips, hence I decided to confirm it with a digi this month. I really don't want to temp just yet, trying to keep things relaxed for now. To be honest nature seemed to take care of things this month - TMI warning - I've had zero sex drive lately and the day I got a +opk I was climbing the walls because my sex drive was so high LOL. DH thought Christmas had come early, and then I tested and discovered I was about to ovulate LOL. I still can't get over how sore my nipples are, believe this is quite common after ovulation.

So how are your temps looking so far? If you don't mind me asking, have you been TTC long?

 

[baby_rose]

I began. Taking b6 and vitex and they straightened out i had normal cycles but the two cycles that i used clear blue opks i positives cd14/17 and got af 3 days after what was odd, now i know they are worth investing on im over strips lol I know ore nipa come random for everyone ive had them allmonth idk if its due tothe chinese pills i started, my temps looked good but this month but u never get and sustain a significant temp after o like Everyone else so idk if i o but i do get periods so maybe lol, ive been actively trying since December

So glad to hear the b6 and citex has helped!! Think temping is a hard thing to do, I found it incredibly frustrating because like you I never got the big shift in temp. Do you get +opks with the better brands?

I am feeling rubbish today. Not symptom spitting because I'm only 2DPO so WAY too early to have symptoms but I do feel rubbish none the less. Feel really sick today, bloated, nipples are agony still, and I'm so tired. Supposed to be studying today but haven't gotten out of PJ's let alone opened uni books lol.

How are you getting on today?

 

[baby_rose]

Yes forsure with clear blue digis opks and i did see a temp jump but oddly both cycles i got af wayy early like 2/3 days after my smiley being that the smilies were cd13 and cd17 bummer no chance

Hmm that's odd. Hope your b6 and vitex help to sort that out. Have you spoken to your doctor about that? Perhaps something for progesterone would help? Think it's a cream they give you to help lengthen you LH phase? I'm not sure but sounds like the doc could help?
