Sorry for another post....Full ferning on cd 7 ?????

I just started ferning scope back again. I did it yesterday morning but it was no ferning. This morning i did it and since it takes a while to dry i check it when i get home. So when i checked it it was full ferning!!....i have never o'd this early before. The only things i am doing different is drinking a lot of crystal light (2 to 4 bottles), taking calcium1200mg and mag 600mg and cranberry 1000mg. I am also on prenatal with Dha and extra folic acid. I did have cramping yesterday. I took ok and its pretty dark but not +. I am confused.

Unfortunately, ferning scopes aren't very reliable. But I wouldn't be TTC yet in your situation - you need to drop cal, mag, cranberry, amd the prenatal and start the LE diet immediately. We don't believe in outdated, unsupported swaying techniques here, like cal/mag/cran.

I'd get some OPKs, preferably Wondfo from amazon; they are much more reliable at predicting O.

Thanks so much for replying!! I do have those opk's I did on yesterday and it was a a lot darker but no where near positive. I have also had a lot more creamy cm then I normally have at this time. I took my temp this morning and it was in the pre O temps. So I know I had not O'd yet. The why I eat I am already on the LE and have been almost my whole life lol. I never eat breakfast I might have 2 to 4 Hersey kiss almond if that lol. I eat lunch sometimes salads or sometimes some sort of fast food ie fries and burger or chicken wrap or pizza, and dinner consist of some sort of meat (venison, wild pork or chicken and every now and then a steak) and rice of some sort or pasta. I use to eat burssle sprouts and that is it so 2 meals a day and mostly carbs and hardly any snacking.

I am actually thinking now that I have read some things that I got ferning cause my estrogen is high. Which is good I think.

we have found the ferning scopes to be really unreliable and I highly doubt that you are Oing on CD 8-9. IT's not beyond the realm of possibility though so I would drop cranberry and have attempt just in case.

I used to use the microscopes back in the day of perfect 28 day cycles, and to be honest they were always dead on for me. However lots of ladies can't rely on them, especially if they're cycles are unpredictable. Swaying can mess up your cycles and cause you to O early...IMO you should get an attempt in just in case. Are you using OPKs as well? Temping?

The microscope was so unreliable for me. I found temping and OPKs so much easier :)

Thank yall so much for replying. Yes i do opks and tempt as well i normally start tempting around cd 9 or 10 cause i normally o on cd 14 or 15. I did o on 13 once but that was after MC. I used them a couple of months when we were ttc #1 and about i did notice a few times on my charts i got full ferning around cd 8 and 9. I don't rely on it really i rely on opks and tempting but i have a short surge and usually a positive the day i o and the scope gives me a partial ferning when i get close and usually a full day of or before o at least by past charts that is. However i just took a uti test and got a positive for that so that explains the cramping. I was fixing to make a post on that too. I know antibiotics sway blue so i was probably going to dr next fri if i can stand it cause i should o next wed or third hopefully. Its not bad right now so i would say bladder infection.

Hey, anyone who has good results with them, that's GREAT and I love the idea of them. IT's just that so many people got mixed results that I stopped recommending them to the population as a whole - but if they work for you, that's totally great.

Antibiotics have never been proven or shown to me (after 6 1/2 years of research into swaying) to be anything more than OWT.

Please keep in mind that in this, the era of antibiotic-resistant infections, if you have an infection that needs treatment, it is a very bad idea to wait till it gets critical to seek treatment because they may not have strong enough medications to fight it if you don't catch it early.
