I was expecting to ovulate tomorrow but there’s still barely a second line at all on my OPKs. I normally have a couple of days where there is a second line but not dark enough to be positive. Does anyone else go from 0-positive?
I use the Clear Blue digital tests where you're supposed to get a flashing smiley face followed by a static one and I've gone from nothing to static before now. I don't think it's anything to worry about, just a timing thing. Have you tried doing another test in the evening?

I have enough going on in my life it just feels the months are broken down into that cycle and pms has got me feeling dramatic
I've felt like this too, it's hard isn't it 💕

Thank you, I’ll try again later on and see if it’s any different. I’m planning to switch to the Clear Blue tests but feel like I should use the strips I have first 😆

Yeh mine hovers around 20% then shoots up to +80% I only test once a day and usually catch it around 3-5pm.

Hey,
I had my first appointment in December and things moved pretty fast from there. Hubby was invited for his test (which was the longest thing to wait on as knew already I had PCOS) and took about 5-6 weeks for test and results. I had various scans and then they talk to you about your options based on what they find. I am now on cycle 2 of Clomid (but had some issues and had to wait on cycle starting ect) but I was able to start first cycle in April so around 4 months from appointment to starting. If you ever want to chat just drop me a message.
Take care and sending all of the best wishes to you 💕

Thank you so much for your reply 🧡
I had my appointment yesterday. I panicked thinking I’d have no follicles at all but I had 12 in my right ovary and 11 in my left.
I was on CD18 and they could see a growing follicle which meant I would ovulate in around 3 days. After tracking my cycles it was confirmed I do have a short luteal phase and they could see that as my cycles are 28 days so it doesn’t have enough time to attach 😔.
I also had my bloods done so they’ll check those again too.
They did say they could offer medication to lengthen my phase but I’ve heard horror stories about them😂.
How are you finding Clomid?
Sending you lots of baby dust ☺💛💫 xx

It’s a relief when you get those numbers back isn’t it I panicked about mine too and was sure they were going to tell me I had something like 2 and I had killed them all during my party years 😅

Yes! I thought it was just me not doing it right 😂 I’ll start to test when my app says I’m in my fertile window.. no lines then one day a dark line! X

Omg I was the same. I’m in my 30’s now so I was dreading it. Felt crazy seeing them on the screen x

So glad you got your appointment and can see those follicles! Always a relief isn't it?
I am sorry to hear there are other things going on but I know our fertility clinic has been so helpful and informative, always happy to take questions and let us know options (even when we ask worst case scenarios they are so good about it) so keep asking your clinic the questions. Nothing is ever a silly question to them amd could save you so much anxiety.
I am on cycle 2 and first cycle I felt quite nauseous but haven't felt that as much this time. I do feel tearful for a few days and have anxiety (but that is something I have anyway so might not be because of Clomid). I have felt not too bad compaired to some stories but I try to take things a day at a time and rest/listen to my body and it's needs when I am starting it. I hope that helps?
Thank you so much. Sending positivety your way and always happy to answer any questions 😚💕 x

Well my period hasn't arrived yet, it's usually like clockwork. Can't bring myself to test yet as I can't bear a BFN.

How many days late are you?
 
Thoughts and prayers to all in their fertile window right now trying to make a baby in this heatwave. We were sticking to each other like Velcro!

3 dpo today! Ovulated much earlier than I expected to! This means my cycle will only be 29 days long if I don't get a bfp.

Is it a sign of pcos? My cycles and ovulation vary so much
I have some variation in cycle length and ovulation date but I think it's normal. I think if your periods are every 21-35 days then it's most likely fine, especially if you are consistently ovulating too.

I had a scan a few weeks ago and I’ve only got 12 follicles apparently, 6 on each side. Should I be freaked out about this?
