TTC #6

[angelthedog]

I've been using easy@home LH tests twice a day and recording them on the premom app. I've not ovulated or reached my peak yet however my LH levels are going down. They weren't super high to begin with. Any advice please? First month ttc and i'm overwhelmed xx

BFN unfortunately I did think of that too

Maybe you've got a dodgy batch of tests! I find the CB digital ones good although they are bloody expensive especially as you can't buy the test sticks on their own

I was Gonna buy my second month of proceive max tmrw, it'sover 40 euro. Am i wasting my money?

I just bought the tablets for £24 instead if that's helpful

Aww congratulations!! At least you can think of a lovely way to tell your husband whilst he’s away!

AF has arrived for me although lighter but I think compared to my chemical last month it’s going to feel lighter!

Contemplating ordering Procieve for me and my husband and Preseed and giving them both a go. I just really hope the prenatals don’t affect my cycles.

I was thinking about trying procieve this month, I didn’t want to straight off the bat because I had heard mixed things about it messing up cycles but after months of nothing on just folic acid and vitamins it might be worth a go

BFN at 12DPO. I know I’m not “out” until AF arrives, but I already have a feeling it’s not our month

my best friend is currently pregnant and she got a faint faint positive to the point you could barely see it at 14dpo x

Got this this morning. What do we think?

I can definitely see the bottom part of the line too

Just had to do a presentation to my work board while going through the worst cramps of my life. Hoping the bleeding finishes tonight so I can carry on with the week and not have to think about it anymore. Decided to tell husband, I saw his heart break in front of me

clomid sounds excellent. I’d love twins.

I'm so so sorry

Have you recently come off contraception? The first couple of months can be all over the place whilst your cycle adjusts! X

No I’ve been off contraception for nearly three years! argh

Me and my husband have been undergoing tests for unexplained infertility. He had to do a semen sample and I’ve had a blood test and today went for a pelvic ultrasound. The Dr who did the ultrasound said that everything (womb and ovaries) looks healthy and as expected and it looks like I’m ovulating. I’ve got to call for the results in a week and then dependent on results may be sent for more tests (they can’t see my Fallopian tubes using an ultrasound for example)

That sounds good so far hope the results are ok too

The Proceive sachets are £38 on Amazon at the moment! (UK)

Ok so I caved and I grabbed a test from sainsburys whilst picking up the salad for our tea tonight. Didn’t get a clearblue because I promised myself I wouldn’t get a test anyway yet so got a cheapie £3 one. Now it’s come back with a faint line and Google is full of bad stories about false positives with these sainsburys ones so I’m none the wiser. What do you ladies think? Is it just evaporation line?

Looks positive to me! Try to get a FRER or a digital tomorrow xxx

Some people have a really quick surge, other peoples are longer or even twice! There’s so much variation between women and even between cycles.

Got some actual changes in my LH tests this cycle! Hopefully a good sign things are starting to work after coming off my BC

Femometer app seems to be confused as to weather the bottom one is 70% or 100% peak, comes up differently whenever I scan it what do you guys think?

If you keep testing you can see if the line gets any darker. If it starts getting lighter then that was your peak.

 

[CallMeHollywood]

I wouldn’t worry then it looks normal really but if you’re concerned about the lower temps get a blood test because if you have hypothyroidism it could affect getting pregnant.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

Hi everyone. Finding myself back on this thread after posting my BFP two weeks ago. I’ve had lots of bleeding, scan booked for Saturday, but I’m expecting the inevitable. The question now is when can we start TTC again? My app says I am ovulating now (if I weren’t pregnant) but will my periods be messed up and do I need to wait for them to start? Thank you

2 weeks after you first start bleeding as you can ovulate before you have a period x

 

[Pineapple55]

Only a couple of days.

Sounds promising though, fingers crossed for good news

Another Monday, another week of BBT tracking and pissing on sticks. How are we all?

Apparently my fertile window starts again tomorrow but it keeps moving so who knows Husband is back from London tonight so should be good to BD this week as much as necessary. I’m considering not tracking LH after ovulation - thoughts?

@Gossipgirl993 hope you’re alright today love.

I never track LH after ovulation because I use the CB tests that stay smiley for 48 hours. I do like it - it's enough to know where I am and when my period would be due but then don't have to spend as much time testing. Good luck

 

[Pineapple55]

I've been testing at 11am and 7pm... argh this is ridiculously stressful. what are your thoughts?

I'm definitely not an expert but it might be worth trying something like 3pm to see if that makes a difference?

Guysss How's it going??

I am 8DPO today and just disgustingly exhausted since yesterday. My head hurts and I feel period cramps although I'm not due for another 7 days. Feeling nervous x

I'm 4 days behind you, fingers crossed for good news

 

[Nayalove96]

My best friend is also pregnant I got my bfp at 10dpo she didn’t get hers until 14dpo and it was sooo faint!

Using the ovulation tests can be helpful as you can plan sex around it however you can get a LH surge more than once in your cycle and doesn’t necessarily mean you will ovulate.. this can only be confirmed by bbt as your body produces progesterone after you ovulate and creates an increase in your temp. I stopped using Flo a few months back as it kept saying I was ovulating when I clearly wasn’t! Did you have regular periods before you had the vaccine? A lot of females cycles vary by a few days each month and it can still be classed as ‘regular’ .. I think some females assume that regular cycles mean it’s the exact same length each month but that’s not the case. If in doubt just try and dtd every second day as you’re guaranteed to do it on either ovulation day or the day before which is perfect

also sorry I saw that there were tonnes of spelling mistakes in my last post.. for some reason when I post on tattle it missed out words when I type! Does this happen to anyone else? Lol

Okay awesome. Yeah during ovulation we had sex every 2 days and 2 days before and 2 days afterwards, i felt an attachment in my lower abdom but preg test all negative and no symptoms of any sorts. so maybe gotta try again this month.
