I still dont think it was a real surge, but will keep up with e4d anyway and add another if I can .

I think this is IT!! Eek! This is what I mentioned happened to me after my chemicals. Keep up the BDing, if you feel up for it being sick and all. I’m SO excited...[emoji1694][emoji1374]!!

Maybe, but remember that's the genius of the e4d, you just keep rolling with it and even with unreliable opk you are in with attempt!!

December 12th, 2019, 04:31 PM
Yea I am. I wasnt planning on using opks but since it has turned into a longer cycle for me it got the best of me. :/ They are too stressful when they are dark so often. I'm not testing anymore since the sickness has finally just about left us. Just didnt want to miss anything lol

I'm sure I haven't ovulated. My temp went to 98.5 today but I woke a little later and I have progesterone strips that are very negative :/.
I hate long cycles. I haven't had any fertile cm, or any at all and like I said no libido. I'm just sad. But I'm going to try to stay hopeful.

I'm trying to take too much control and that causes me stress so I just want to try and go with the flow for now and just really pray and leave everything in Gods hands. It's just hard when you want something so much but I truly believe he will be the only one to make it happen no matter what I do. So hopefully I can stop being a control freak! Lol

Just curious as to what this means? Why is my LH always high right now? I'm using up the last opk is that I have but I'm just so confused I don't understand why they're always look almost positive42227
One this morning and then this afternoon.

atomic sagebrush

There are lots of reasons why you can get lots of false positive OPK and I can't tell from here which of them might be the reason (and it's even possible for it to have been one reason in the past, and be a different reason this month). What I do know is that even with wonky cycles people can absolutely still get pregnant, it's just a matter of continuing to try. I know it so so so much sucks for things to be so unpredictable and weird though. :heart:

Gosh yes its really exhausting trying to keep trying! Lol

A few people have told me to try vitex. I know you dont recommend it right?

XXforhubby
December 20th, 2019, 03:36 PM
I would not use Vitex. It would be like throwing gas on a fire. Your cycle is working itself help by balancing your hormones after your chemical. It takes a bit of time, but like Atomic said, even crazy cycles can still lead to a BFP. It could be one of two things: 1. You’re gearing up to finally ovulate, or 2. It’s picking up your secondary estrogen surge that happens after you ovulate. Hang in there!!

Well I definitely havent ovulated! And I dont even know what to think about ovulating. Seems like things are just not right :( . I guess I want something to help. I know vitex probably wouldn't work for me but I think.....maybe....everyone recommends it!!!
I just dont know why my opks are like this. 12:30 and 2 :30? I would think if it was a real surge it wouldn't get lighter?

No, I don't recommend vitex. It may help people under 35 who have moderate to severe PCOS and refuse to do diet and exercise, but in your circumstances it would be a very bad idea. We had very few pregnancies over 35 the first few years of the site when we were using vitex and since I dropped it, our conceptions in that group have skyrocketed.

djmommy

Ok thank you. I figured you wouldn't recommend it and I feel like my body is so sensitive to stuff anyway it would probably not help.

Do you think the Clearblue Advanced Digital with like the flashing Smiley is more accurate than the regular opk's? Or can I still get false positives from them? I have some and yesterday was a blank Circle this morning was a flashing and this afternoon was solid so I'm wondering how accurate it really is? I'm just so over this

XXforhubby
January 4th, 2020, 04:05 PM
I think they are fairly accurate...I liked the ones that only give a solid smiley...pink ones. I’m not sure they are still made anymore.

My heart goes out to you!! Long, winky cycles suck!! Try and look at it this way: You’re body is working on rebalancing your hormones. I would keep BDing, if you can to be in a chance at catching the egg. I have not, and will not, stop praying for you.

I had one cycle like that recently with the quick surge - CD13 blank circle, CD14 flashy smiley in the morning followed by solid in the afternoon. But then the next month I had 8 days of flashy which was even more frustrating! It’s just never the same!

Yea sometimes it's super frustrating. I'm on like CD 40 something and I figured I would try the advanced since it measures both hormones. I have had a cycle where I had like 10 flashing smileys also and yep super duper frustrating. It's never the same !

i used the clearblue where its either an empty circle or a solid smiley, no flashing! i think the flashing ones cause so much stress, people either dont have any flashing or like 10+ days of flashing till they are out of their minds with stress over it (which probably delays OV further) if you can get the ones without the flashing smileys id make the switch :)
i trust the CB tests so bd bd bd!! :D everything crossed for you :heart:

djmommy
January 10th, 2020, 06:29 PM
YES!!!

So I got some of the open circle and smiley ovulation tests. They came today. The clearblue advanced showed a solid smiley yesterday after 4 days of flashing. I took the other kind (not the flashing) this morning and it was a smiley. I took another this evening just to see and it was open circle. I'm hoping it was a real surge. But of course my cycle is out of whack and I'm frustrated. Maybe it was a normal real surge? No hold this evening but the stick lines look the same color for one to be open circle and one to be a smiley?
Are you not supposed to look at the lines?
Hopefully I made sense..lol42280

XXforhubby
January 10th, 2020, 10:57 PM
I think you got your surge! Ovulation will occur between 12-48 hours, on average. I think you’re in a great position!!

As far as the lines, I wouldn’t pay attention to those as much as the open circle or smiley.

Yep you're not supposed to look at the lines, only the smiley. Those test work a bit differently and it's measuring more than one thing in them, and the lines are not telling us anything compared to the smiley.

I’m wondering if this is picking up a secondary surge? This could also be an anovulatory cycle that is resetting things. Try and hang in there. Cycles like these are incredibly frustrating and just plain, suck! Try and keep you’re head up and not get too upset. Switch your focus on the big picture and not these upsetting details.

What got me through was allowing myself to take comfort in the presence that I could feel, like she was here with me...not letting her go....telling her and me that I am surrendering to allow her to come to me....I will keep trying because she is worth it....and getting my mind right to keep on going....even though it hurt so much while simultaneously remaining hopeful and excited...and taking comfort and solace in my children that bring me so much happiness...allowing their scent and love to wash over me to heal my heart....

that does look anovulatory for now but you can still ovulate! People miss whole months assuming they're having anovulatory cycles when they just ovulate super late.

djmommy
January 13th, 2020, 01:18 PM
I know. I remember having a long cycle last year and finally ovulated on CD 79! I'm just trying to figure things out which is probably making things worse and more stressful, right?!!
I thought that these opks would be less stressful but I just want to know why I keep getting positives!! A lot of times during the week I don't see DH. I try to do e4d but doesn't always work out.
I know I just need to let go. I guess I don't want to miss an attempt and would be really upset if I did, so that's where the opks come in but obviously they arent working. Could it really be that my body keeps trying to ovulate but fails? That surely can't be good.

Thank you so much XX. Your words are always so kind and mean so much. I try to do those things and am so very grateful for the beautiful children I have. I know I'm blessed.

It is neutral. Not good, not bad. It doesn't mean anything dire, just that your body isn't quite ready to ovulate. This happens to many, many people over the course of time and their body recovers in the future. We even see people who don't ovulate for years catch a random egg (often when they're none too happy about it!)

I really think the OPK cause you more stress than they alleviate. :heart:

dreamofdaughter
January 14th, 2020, 09:57 PM
Do you have other fertility signs? CM or arousal?
I am definitely in the opks cause stress camp. I stopped using them cause I would get a surge super early and it confused me. I assumed I wasn’t ovulating or too early for a mature egg. I started to only have sex when I desired it and not because of a timeline. I almost forgot what that felt like!

This last time I "thought" I would actually ovulate. Had some cm, although not ewcm and some o twinges but I haven't because my temp hasn't risen significantly. And yeah no more opks! They are becoming way more stressful for me and I'm just tired of the confusion and not knowing.
Thanks for sharing that because that sounds like a better plan to just go with when I feel like it.
These long cycles are just dreadful

djmommy
January 15th, 2020, 12:29 PM
And also I am having such a hard time understanding, how will I ovulate if my LH is constantly always high? I just don't understand. I know that hormone raises before your body releases the egg so how can it be even close to releasing an egg if it's just always high?

atomic sagebrush
January 15th, 2020, 01:38 PM
Because what is happening on the strips is not telling you what is going on in your body. The strips are terribly imprecise and your body knows when the time is right to ovulate. So it will get a surge of LH and release the egg at that time.

dreamofdaughter
January 16th, 2020, 01:13 AM
Wow you and I have such similar symptoms. My surge seemed to go on forever the last few months I used opks. I thought the same thing. If it’s always high then how can I ovulate? Maybe it’s an age thing, I don’t know. It was actually those immediate (like day 6!) surges that went on and on that made me think ok I can’t possibly be ovulating. And I wasn’t getting my usual CM. Even this last month, I didn’t get ewcm. At the most it was watery and barely there. So I assumed my estrogen was dropping.

djmommy
January 16th, 2020, 07:22 AM
It's crazy because I have had a few cycles where I had a super early surge like you. Maybe it is an age thing. I also remember last cycle when I had a chemical I have no idea when I ovulated either because I don't recall having any or much cm at all.
But I'm so happy for you! Like I keep telling myself whatever I try to do, its totally out of my control because God is in control. But then I always feel the need to try and take control!! Lol

Perimenopause takes years though. People go on for years and years with irregular cycles during which they have weird cycles and normal cycles and you still have to use protection or else risk getting pregnant. Long cycles are never fun, I completely understand that this has been a terrible roller coaster ride for you, but it really doesn't mean you can't get pregnant, even in this cycle. It is always a possibility to go in for bloodwork (although I still think they're only going to give you numbers that sound scary but really don't mean much) to see for sure, but I don't think it gains you anything.

djmommy

But you can get pregnant in perimenopause. I’m proof. Since my last miscarriage,
my cycles are all over the place. I had similar issues with LH testing. I ovulated early and had a couple super early cycles (for me).

I had bloodwork done but FSH varies month to month so you will freak yourself out for no reason. My AMH was terrible 2 years ago and I cried buckets. Now look - pregnant.

Please take the advice other people gave me. Relax. Shift your focus. Still do your dtd timeline and keep your sway if it’s important to you (wasn’t for me; I was done so with swaying. Also didn’t actually intend on or expect to conceive) BUT please, don’t stress yourself out!!! You’re not out of the game.

Thanks so much dreamofdaughter! You definitely have given me hope that I will be able to conceive. The thought of not being able to is really devastating to me. And these losses are really hard because it's so not easy to get pregnant at all. I know I need to relax, it's so hard during these long cycles, I'm tired, frustrated and just want to ovulate and get nervous that I won't or that I'll miss it after all this time! Ugh.
I'm going to work on it though.
Thanks so much xo

I agree with all of this 1000%!! I conceived ALL of my children in perimenopause, with my DD in late-perimenopause! I will officially be in menopause come this March. I have only warned her for 7mo [emoji15]!

It is completely possible to get pregnant!!! Keep on keeping on and it can happen!!! I am continuing to pray for you, and I will keep sending super sticky Golden Egg vibes your way!!!

I'd have to wait for a new cycle anyway though right?

If you wanted to know your AMH and stuff you'd have to wait, but I meant that you could go in now and see what is going on. They may want to give you provera to bring on a bleed. But they're going to tell you all sorts of scary things that aren't necessarily or even usually true. I could write dozens of case studies with people from this site who went in to the doctor and were told terrifying things (usually so the doc could bully them into doing IVF) and they ended up getting pregnant naturally in the end anyway (sometimes after a round or two of failed IVF that the doc said they MUST have!)

Do you think its necessary for me to go in and get provera? I mean how long should I wait?

Welll......I just had some spotting......so I think AF may be trying to make an appearance. Kind od relieved I guess so now hopefully this dreaded cycle will end. Now if it's AF does that mean I ovulated or is a breakthrough bleed the same and mimics a period?

Edit ti add....
Why am I getting pos opk? They have been negative? What's wrong with me. I figured if AF they would be negative?

I agree with all of this 1000%!! I conceived ALL of my children in perimenopause, with my DD in late-perimenopause! I will officially be in menopause come this March. I have only warned her for 7mo [emoji15]!

It is completely possible to get pregnant!!! Keep on keeping on and it can happen!!! I am continuing to pray for you, and I will keep sending super sticky Golden Egg vibes your way!!!

It's really common to get positive OPK with your period/breakthrough bleeds.

Can I clarify something before I answer your other question?? A few posts back you asked about thermometers, were you using one that did not have into the hundredths of degrees? And if so how long?

Yes I have been using a regular thermometer the whole time since I started temping again !Yikes. Just started using the bbt one this last week. Not good right?

We can't use this past chart to tell us anything. We need those hundredths of degrees to see the pattern. That is very likely why it was such a cryptic chart, we can't tell with those tenths what was really happening.

Ok well from here on out I will be using the new thermometer. Maybe that's why I was having such a hard determining when O was.

Just coming to vent.....I probably do that a lot but no one else really knows my TTC journey. I don't even tell people I want another baby, esp at my age with 4 kids they all think I'm crazy and I hate hearing negative thoughts. People also think that since I have 4 kids that miscarriages dont mean anything and I'm lucky. Yes, I am definitely so blessed with my children and so grateful to God. But that doesn't mean it's easy after a loss. My heart still breaks. I was a little hopeful this cycle because I actually think I ovulated at a normal time for me but my kids were sick so I think we only managed to bd one time this whole cycle. I am sad. I feel totally PMS and irritable and I know AF will be coming. I just am so aggravated that this has been such a hard journey. I can't do it anymore. It hurts that I won't have another baby. Things with DH have been a little strange and I just can't keep stressing about this. I don't really need anything just wanted to vent. I just feel such overwhelming sadness because I know it's over and it is so hard. 42399

If that's when the BD took place in regards to ovulation I do think you are still in with a chance.

This is with the new thermometer?? It looks a lot more like what I would expect it should than the last few have!

Yes that was the one time. And I used the new thermometer too. I just have my normal PMS symptoms. I just feel so heavy with sadness

You're not out yet, a lot of people notice no different symptoms the month they conceive. :heart:

you are in with a chance with that attempt :heart: i totally understand not telling anyone, i dont tell anyone either, we lost our 2nd baby mid-way through the pregnancy but people just assume we must be over it because we've had 7 babies since her, they dont seem to uderstand that i could have 100 more babies but none of them will ever be her, none of them replace her there will always be an empty space between DS1 and DS2 where she should have been.. your number of living children has no bearing on the impact of loss.
I'll never forget a midwife saying to me during a postpartum visit after DS2 was born "you can forget about that other one now" meaning our baby girl who we had lost 10 months earlier.
I still have everything crossed for a healthy sticky bean for you DJ :heart: xx
