A bit of a dip this morning, Is this normal?
I haven't tested on my OPK yet,

Can someone please check my chart,, thank you

Many people have temp dips on OV day but some have them at any times throughout their cycle which can be caused my many things. I had one myself yesterday but no it wasn't to do with ovulating.
You'll need to see what your temps are like over the next few days before you can confirm if you OV'ed. As for the OPK's even if you haven't had a positive it doesn't mean you haven't OV'ed, you could have just missed your surge or be one of those, like myself who never seem to get a real +ive.

Hi guys! This is my first post on here- we have been ttc for over a year now and I'm going crazy!! I ovulated on 10th dec and used a clearblue easy test today and of course it was bfn!! Aaah!! I was sure this was our month I know it's still early to test but I'm getting tell tale signs that af is on her way and struggling to keep positive! Is anyone in a similar boat?! I've read a lot about clomid and preseed- what are these and are they worth trying? Is first response better than clearblue? Thinking about when to test again...

I look forward to getting to know u guys and hope we all get our bfp's soon!!

Xx

Hi and welcome

I've also been trying for over a year, after about 6 months of always getting BFN and AF turning up right on que i decided to stop testing before she was due and told myself I'll only test if/when she is late and have stuck to it, unfortunately I haven't had to test since . I just hated keep seeing those BFN month after month.
As been mentioned Clomid is used to help woman ovulate, do you have regular cycles? have you spoken to your GP and had any tests done yet?

totally fustrating to c those BFN dats why i have made a promise to myself that i wil not test until the witch is actually 2weeks late...its hard but yeah - rather that than seeing those BFN's

Cabby - After a couple of cycles of not testing it got easier to beat the temptation of it, and although it's still not easy seeing AF turn up it isn't as hard as keep seeing a BFN.
It's a pain having to wait for appointment's isn't it? we had our first appointment as a fertility specialist/assisted conception unit last month and were given forms for the usual bloods, hycosy scan and SA for my fiance. We've done the bloods and SA but couldn't get an appointment this cycle for the hycosy so have to try again next
My blood results all came back fine and we're just waiting for the letter with OH's SA results so fingerscrossed for those.
OPK's can't actually confirm you have ovulated, they just show that you produce the hormone that encourages it or something along those lines. The best way to keep an eye on your cycle, find out your LP and if you have actually ovulated is by charting your BBT.
Wishing you lots of luck for an early 2012 BFP xx

you need to buy a basal body thermometer. you can find these in places like cvs in the same area you would buy a pregnancy test/lube, etc.! It is also best to get the one that gives two decimals!

mummywant2be 2 weeks is very impressive Do u know i went to buy a frer on my way home from work today 2 use 2moz and they didnt have any!! Taking it as a sign so I'm definitely not testing tomorrow! I'm gonna try and wait until Sunday now when af is due! Wish me luck!!

Tinkerbell3 It is so annoying having to wait - just want to get it started asap! What is a hypocosy scan? The appointment we have in feb is just for me- what tests will they do? Nervous! The docs took some bloods from me but im not sure what these were?! Apparently they all came back fine.

Oh i didnt know that about ovulation- oh no Hope I am ovulating!- What is LP? I've heard people talk about tracking their cycles etc but don't have a clue where to start! For the last year or so i have just been hoping this would happen naturally but need to become more proactive!!!

I'll keep everything crossed that your partner's SA results come back ok- so hard getting a neg result I'm sure it will be fine and if not at least u r in the right place to get it sorted- good luck.

Welcome mommybear1977 fingers crossed for baby no2 in 2012 for u

Welcome beautifullei2 FX for your long awaited bfp in 2012! I can't imagine how hard it is for you ttc for 2 years- puts my year into perspective. Have u had any tests etc yet?

Baby dust to u

CABBY - yes we actually went and saw an obgyn for family planning this summer. After testing on his part we found that an injury from a few years back lowered his count.. after seeing a specialist they said it was minor and could be fixed with surgery. He had the surgery in oct and was told it boosted his chances about 70% higher to conceive..soooooo now we wait until it happens.. I loved being pregnant and can't wait to finally have another! Just stressful every month when my cycle is due. This month its been very light but I guess Ill have to wait and see if it gets heavier.

Yes I see what you mean, I had another dip this morning after a little rise yesterday, opk is getting a tinge bit dark,
Hoping that I havent missed it

 

[Cabby]

Beautifullei2 - wow it seems like you've been through it That's great that it increases chances by 70% though- I like the sound of that! Fingers crossed so tightly for u hun It is awful waiting every month - I get really excited around ovulation and am soooo hopeful and positive then it gets to this stage and it's like "not happened again!!" I'm feeling all tell-tale af signs now so pretty sure I'm out again this month I hope urs doesn't get any heavier and that u are pg!!!

[skweek35]

Hi guys- thank you for all the luck and welcome messages

skweek35- It is so frustrating isn't it?! I swear all my friends are deciding to have babies now and it just seems to happen immediately for them! I'm obviously so happy for them but it just makes me think why not me?! One friend has just announced her pregnancy and she wasn't even trying!! They are happy about it now though but still! ha!
You mentioned you are seeing your FS is this fertility specialist? How did you get one?

I so relate with you right now! Was chatting to my neighbour yesterday. She is due in March. She said that they were not even trying was a bit of a shock. Yes so why not us??
Yes FS is Fertility Specialist.
As I am 35 years old already my doctor didnt want me to wait much longer and refered me to the hospital to see the FS. Seeing her in Feb again.
