congrats to your friend briss

Thanks! although to be honest, after TTC for over 2 years I get a bit depressed when people around me are getting their BFPs so easily without even trying

 

[CaliDreaming]

Briss, hope you caught the egg this month! I've also been having a hard time lately with people who get bfps just by thinking it into existence. I know it's not their fault that I'm having so much trouble TTC but it's hard for me to feel happy for them.

 

[laustiredttc]

hey girls i think its only natural to feel that way. Its the unfairness of it all and it almost feel as if the universe has something personal against you. We're not bad people we just want this sooooo bad thats all. It will happen ladies, we will get there

 

[Lady H]

I promise it will happen. I never believed people who said it to me but it will xxxx

 

[CaliDreaming]

Thanks ladies. It's been a struggle these days to keep my hopes up so I really needed to hear that right now.

 

[foxyviola]

Ok I'm back sorry for leaving you ladies.
I still hate my cbfm though
In the past I've ovulated cd 13 but the cbfm only picked up peak first time and these two cycles, it's only picked up high.
I usually have 25/ 27 day cycles

On cd 19 I got brown /pink when I wiped.
Nothing since.
I'm cd 23 and still high on monitor but when I checked the stick the estrogen line was faint and the lh line was thin but very visible.
I know you can't read the sticks, but would the lh line be so clear this close to af?

 

[Lady H]

Have you tried the other sort of test? If you did ovulate on normal days how many DPO would you be?

 

[CaliDreaming]

Welcome back Foxyviola! Sorry your CBFM is still causing you fits though.

There is a mini lh surge right before AF so that is probably what is causing the line.

 

[foxyviola]

Hmmm well I've just got my peak today cd 25 around the time af is due.

 

[Briss]

foxy, that's very odd, have you ever had a long e.g. 35-40 day cycle? I would still BD may be your ovulation just got delayed for some reason.

My temp dropped this morning so thinking It is possible I did not ovulate

 

[foxyviola]

Hi Briss thanks for reply. I'm really thinking that the slight bleed on cd 19 was implantation bleeding. If nothing shows today, i think I might test to be sure. Lh and hcg are almost identical according to what I've read, and I know opks can be used as hpts although not advisable.
I have heard of a few people getting peaks at the end of their cycle to find they are pg but callidreaming mentioned that it can pick up a mini lh surge so I'm not sure. It didn't happen last cycle, it just registered highs until I set it for cd 1.
I've had other clues but I won't know until I test I guess.
Forgot to add ever since I was 12 I've always had 25-27 day cycles so this would be very odd but of course possible now I'm getting on a bit!
I thought you had peaked cd 10?

 

[CaliDreaming]

Oh well if you got a peak then there is a good chance you might get a bfp! The lh surge before a period usually wouldn't give a peak, esp since you've had two cycles where you didn't peak at ovulation.

Good luck and I'll have my fingers crossed for you!

 

[Briss]

foxy, OMG I totally forgot you can get positive OPK before AF which can be a sign of BFP. This is so exciting, when you are going to test?

I did get a peak on CD10 but Peak can only show LH surge not the actual O, it's the temp following the peak that can tell you whether O has taken place or not. My temp rose and then dropped - not a good sign I think

After losing our daughter and having several chemicals I was getting anxious that it may not happen, we had set ourselves a deadline for December. This was due to my husband thinking about going back on a medication that made ttc a no no and also the need to focus on other things. I'm so happy to say that after testing this evening, the Lord has given me my miracle, bfp. Certainly can't give any credit to the cbfm lol except that it worked as a hpt! Thanks ladies and just keep holding on!

 

[vkj73]

foxy,
congrats to you! here's lots of sticky dust coming your way!

lots of love and luck to all!!!

 

[mamadonna]

Congratulations foxy!

 

[CaliDreaming]

OMG Congratulations Foxy!! Looks like you got your BFP right on time! I'd definitely take a BFP over a peak on the CBFM anyday!!
