Wow I'm here!

[Biscuitbaby]

WOW me and hubby decided we wasn't gonna try for No.3 for a few years!! we moved the date nearer and nearer and I'M HERE!!!

I'm armed with my Ovulation sticks and pregnancy tests!

......now I think my cycle is messed up

I know af arrived at the start of Nov (dont know exact date but I know I was bleeding on the 4th and it stopped not long after)
Then I spotted 4th and 5th of Dec but that was it .....but STILL no AF and BFN pregnancy tests!???

Anyone any ideas or advise?

 

[Biscuitbaby]

yaaaay me anyway!!

Woo hoo. Glad to see you here. Hope you get your bfp soon. Regarding the lack of af can you see your doctor? Maybe they can give you something to bring it on.

If I were you, I would try Vitex (Agnus Castus)... I started taking it on Dec 20th and ovulated on Jan 2nd.

Some may think it is conceidence, but I don't think so... I was on CD45 when I started with no ovulation, yet once starting it I ovulated shortly after. Personally, I think it does wonders, but that is just me and also, like anything else, each person reacts differently. Hope this helps, btw I use the tincture form as it gets in your system faster... yes it tastes horrible, but you can dilute it as much as you like.

Lots and lots of !

OOOOOOo Somethings happening!!!!!

I just had a very faint pos on a ovulation stick!! I'm hoping to see it get darker!!

How often do you ladies test with those things? ATM I'm tempted to do it every five mins!!

OPK's are definitely addicting, but I personally find them confusing and maybe I am not the best to give advice. But, when I was using them I would test one time a day, preferably in the afternoon... however, when I thought I was close to O I would test twice a day.

Anyways, I never got a positive with an OPK, as my cycles were anovulatory... but I do know the test line needs to be as dark as or darker than the control line to be considered positive. Good luck!

Btw, have you tried temping? I have been temping for just 2 months and so far have found it very helpful.

 

[Biscuitbaby]

I never got a positive with a opk until I was pregnant with my first! but I thought I'd give it a go

Temping has always confused me - how do I go about it? Do I need anything special?

 

[28329]

I temp. You need, preferably, a digital thermometer with 2 decimal points (2 numbers after the decimal) take it orally or vaginally. It should be taken at same time every morning the moment you wake up. Don't sit up, get up or move much before taking it. You can then chart it on fertility friend. I swear by it

 

[Biscuitbaby]

OooooooOO Thanks!! I might try that!

....Orally though - I'd be using the boys thermometer!

So what am I looking for? a rise?

 

[28329]

Your temp will rise significantly the day after ovulation n stay there until af or will stay pretty high if a bfp.

Oral temping only works best if you tend to sleep with your mouth closed. You can get a proper bbt thermometer cheap online.
