Sounds great sky!
Shinay I am coming back to your last question but don't want to rush a reply so I'll do it when I get home :)

Test to see if chart is in my signature!

Again, not tempting this cycle so it's not that exciting!
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/41ecd9
kat: how do you add the signature? do you use the website or tapatalk?
Shinay - I'm on Tapatalk. I just copied and pasted link into signature under settings.
Max - You're still not out!! You're temps look good??
Lola - what did Doc say about the close to positive opk at CD 8/9?? And I really am hoping you just need more time. I'd be very hesitant to take clomid if you are already ovulating. I've had friends that had a hard time on it.

Kat - I can see your signature. Yay.

Morning (or evening elsewhere!) lovely ladies
I quickly scanned the pages, so likely missed stuff !
Pbn – haha too funny that appointment –can totally see why you would have felt like in the Twilight zone :P glad you got your referrals etc – and that all is well – woohoo!! :D
Thanks for the cuteness overload share – that is just adorbs :D
You crack me up – you stalker, you :P I am indeed all stocked up on FRERs – I have a packet of 4 plus a full packet of 7 – but will start with the ICs – and only take out the FRER if there is something on the ICs – if the FRER says yes, then I will buy some digis too ^^
I’ve never had a positive before 10dpo, so not sure testing on 8dpo would yield anything? Buuuut having said that, my impatience might get the better of me ^^ though am trying not to get my hopes up – I can’t quite believe I suddenly would be fertile after all these years of being infertile and needing medicated cycles to fall pregnant and treatments to even stay up the duff.. buuut can’t help but still be a bit hopeful my lifestyle changes have affected my condition enough for a true shift fertility wise also – the fact that I am ovulating on my own in itself is such a huge step already! ^^
Shinay – come on O, come on, let Shinay’s vajayjay have a breeeeak lol
You’ve done so well with the cycle you have had so far – I would have thrown in the towel way earlier – so well done you :) hopefully these efforts totally pay off very soon!
Skyblue – oh that looks like O is definitely gearing up for the next couple of days…! FX!
(Am now on CD16 – 3dpo ;))
Kat – never mind me, I probably just misread, my brain is mush more often than not lol
Woohoo for trying :D bring on a positive opk! :D
Iwant4kids – hope AF shows up soon so you can move on to the next page of your chapter and get a healthy bub growing soon!
Lola - bummer with the appointment – might be my brain not remembering – did you mention all your plans here before? :D
I think I have half a box of Clomid left from my last time TTC, but not sure if that would pass customs over in the USA – probs would look suspicious if you were receiving dodgy half full medication boxes all the way from Oz lol but could send it to you maybe!
Though I have a feeling that this cycle might be THE cycle for you hon ^^
Hugs to all, especially if I haven’t mentioned you ^^
Well, temp is up this am – so got cross hairs which confirm O on CD13 (earliest this has ever happened to me without Clomid!) – but last night was baaaad, and was up a fair bit (thanks kiddies for being a pain and calling for no valid reason , I love you more than anything in the world but grrr) – have kept the temp though as got about 2.30-3hrs sleep after I got up the last time during the night…. Hopefully can actually manage to stay awake and get through my work day, though I feel like crashing on my desk for a big snooze lol I have got myself a massive cuppa (tea and milk – ooooh how I would love a coffee) so hopefully that will help me gear up ^^
Speaking of work, I better get back to it :P
Shinay back to your question regarding late ovulation being linked to miscarriage. So there's no definate answer, some doctors or studies seem to indicate there may be a link, the reasoning being the egg has started to die off or is too mature before being released. BUT on the other hand there's also the belief that sometimes the egg isn't ready earlier and needs more time than normal to be ready to be released. Some people just naturally o late. There are people who have ovulated cd28/29 (just as an example) that go on to have a perfectly normal pregnancy and baby.
I like to think your body just needed that extra little time to perfect your egg and its now ready and waiting to be fertilised when it releases within the next 48 hours :)
If it is a concern for you though and this cycle doesn't result in a bfp (but it will!!) then maybe create a thread asking atomic on her suggestions to bring o forward naturally. I think vitex can help but I also think she's steering away from its use (I may be wrong here just something is niggling my memory) plus I'm not sure if vitex is said to sway pink or blue or any way at all.
When do you usually o again?

LMSM if your starting with IC's then I'm totally going to be bugging you to start 8dpo 😂😂 oh and be sure to keep your urine sample in case you need to dip an frer into the same one 😀 we are very good at seeing squinters here and if we see one will demand an frer be taken at once!!! So you will need to hang onto that sample 😆

LMSM: i wanted to quit so many times, but i am afraid of doing that and O few days later and end up in pink sway. I would feel disappointed in myself for quitting too early and not try harder. So i try to have positive thoughts to keep me going. Seriously though, i am this close to drop the whole thing.
Pbn: i normally O on cd14 or 15 but since i started taking prenatals and folic acid, my O is pushed back to cd 18 or 19. I think lack of sleep and stress from moving delayed O. So i feel like this is not about egg need more time to get ready but more like it is getting old from waiting for my body to be ready so it could be released. I kinda hope i dont get a bfp this cycle. Some members in my family have miscarriage recently, and i already feel so sad and painful to think about it. I'd rather have bfn this cycle than miscarriage or chemical. I don't know if i could handle it...:worry:
Hi ladies!! I'm having another late night trying to catch up with work, so will have to read through this all later this evening or tomorrow am, but just wanted to say that both DD's were conceived after delayed O (both CD25!) and they are both healthy, smart, and crazy (lol) girls!
Lola, going to read through your update soon!!! Hope appt went well!
No call back from my OB today, guessing he will call tomorrow. Super exhausted today and temps still up, but sure AF on the way soon! [emoji849]

Big hugs shinay xxoo. I understand but also think what is meant to be will be. People miscarry even when o is at considered normal cd. You need to put that fear aside not just now but any future cycles, try and think positively instead. Your brain has an amazing influence over your body. The truth is 1 in 3 pregnancies will result in miscarriage either a chemical (many times these happen unknown as people get their period on time or just assume their af is late if they're not ttc) or early/mid/late into the pregnancy. Fearing a miscarriage is normal but should not devour your thoughts. I am very sorry to hear of your family members losses, it can be very traumatic for all involved. I guess I'm trying to say that sometimes life sucks, is not fair and can bring you to your knees but you have to get up, get moving and believe there are better things to come. I'm completely rambling now and not even sure if I'm saying what I'm trying to say 😂😂 so I'll leave it at this. Put all your worries aside for now, at least until you see if this cycle is a bfp or bfn. You'll have plenty of time to worry (or not) about it then.

I agree with Pbn Shinay. I can tell u that everyone here has the same worries as u. I can't even imagine how emotional and worried I am going to be after a bfp. I m sorry about the mc in your family. I understand how upsetting it must be but don't let your mind go there. All of us are here for you. I have become stronger being with these wonderful ladies. Knowing their stories and seeing their courage,seeing them going above and beyond to help us. I have learnt to not fuss over things which are beyond my control and try to do the best for the ones that I can. You just try your best and come here and share your worries and vent all u can and then put up that game face on. U r not allowed to be sad alone. As Pbn would say, End of Novel. [emoji23][emoji23]Hugs.

LSMS - jealous you Oed so early!! And yay for 3 dpo!!

Kat – I’m just happy I seem to have O’d naturally , full stop I usually need Clomid for that (and the few times I O’d naturally never have I had O so early! even with Clomid I O on Cd12 – earliest evvvveeer I have had without drugs is CD14-15 but that was only since starting HE so diet must doing me good ^^)
Love it Pbn!! I need those bubbles of excitement & positivity lol! Lovin' the cuteness[emoji173] I'm trying to BD e3d at atomic's recommendation. I may be out of town at pos OPK, so playing it by ear. How are you feeling??
Max-I bet your doc will do the CD21 test that pbn mentioned and my OB ordered. Hope you can get some answers & have more success at getting Femara :) Your temps are still looking good!
Shinay-you are BDing like a rockstar. I bet you will catch that blue egg with this plan!! I'm losing track of how many plans I've had...I think there has been a Plan B1, B2 and so on lol. GL with your move! We moved in Jan, so I def understand the chaos!! Your digi & dip stick look the way mine do! Dark on the stick, light on the digi. For me, the test line will be much darker than the control line to be positive. It looks like you're getting super close though!!
Kat-yay for OPK's! My OB didn't have an answer for the dark OPKs, but did say that he didn't believe I had PCOS since I've had regular cycle lengths. Maybe my bw or ultrasound will have some answers, but not even sure the possibilities?
Sky-we're in this together...we may not be so confident about this cycle, but we can try to give it 110%!! Fx!!
DS1 is calling for me...so I'll be back to post some more.
For now-my OPKs

Stood pbn idea and bookmarked your chart LMSM since your next up! I love squinting at tests! I can't wait. And am so happy for you Having a fantastic cycle! Did you not eat much before he diet?
My scan is in a few hours. Last toilet trip before the dreaded hold 😔
I managed to actually get faint lines on Frer and pregnosis. Tell me you ladies can see them. They also came up straight away. I won't be able to get bloods til tmro.
I have absolutely no idea what's going on but im sure it won't end positively.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...deba050e5e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d569a63e5b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f4793289aa.jpg

Ok I'm baaaack! That seems a little early for me to O-that's not really a good thing right? My wondfo test line usually gets really dark when I have the flashing smiley, so we'll see tomorr AM.
LMSM-Happy 2WW! Next to test yayyyy! I'm going to see what happens this cycle & just might take you up on that. That may be a little tricky though and I was leaning toward Femara. I do appreciate you thinking about me!
Ash & Pbn-I love that you are both still coming back to check in on us & give us advice. You both are awesome! Stay a little longer :)
Ash & LMSM-so I've had several versions of my plans. Plan B was to visit OB for answers & get a Femara prescription if this cycle doesn't work. That was a fail, so B2 was praying this cycle miraculously works! Plan C1 may be to visit the fertility specialist or maybe C2 will need to be developed...all kinds of ideas are popping through my head Haha

Netti I *think sometimes I see something but then I don't :( really faint lines are so hard to potograph though. So glad your scan isn't far away and can't wait to hear how it goes!!!

Thanks pbn. Im out of hpts now so i can put the squinters to rest 🤣
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
Maxim: thank you. That makes me feel better. Can i ask what the lp is for your daughters? Like delayed O with same lp days or delayed O and lp was cut short?
Pbn: you are right. I can relax and get freaked out later if bfp or dont have to worry at all if i get bfn. It has been a worry of mine since it happened a lot in my family lately. 3 aunties had miscarriages. 1 tried for more than 10 years (normal and ivf and other solutions). I was hoping for a smooth cycle, so it kinda threw me off a bit with all the up and down this cycle. Thank you for helping me feel better. Time to test again soon.
Sky: awww how sweet of you! You are right. I will try my best on things i could control and enjoy this journey. I have learned a lot from all of you here and i am truly happy that i found this group. Lots of love and support!
Netti-glad you will have answers soon!! Keep us posted!! Still having preggo symptoms?
My Ovulation Chart
Sky: here is my chart. https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6a8e52
I dont use tapatalk, that is why. I will download it to make it easier for you guys. What is your usual O day?
Lola: as Pbn saod, my vj needs a vaca lol. Once my temp shift, imma have a little vacation. Dh will just have to wait till my vj is in the mood again. Dh has been happy that cycle is longer, more bd for him lol (sorry tmi).
So did you have a smiley on digi before or did you just bd when dip stick is dark enough? And from the look of it, you might O very soon, maybe tomorrow.
Haha-I'd imagine DH is not complaining with your eod schedule shinay!! Hope you O soon to give you a break! The digi aligned with my temp rise, so I went with e3-4d and once at pos digi OPK, then BD 4 days after. Didn't help me catch the egg though [emoji22]
My Ovulation Chart
Wow Lola, I reckon O is not that far away :D
I O’d pretty early and on CD my opk was neg (1st I did) but by next day it was very positive – so you may really not be far away – what’s your BD plan? Not overly familiair with the pink sway – is it e4d BD until O or something like that?
I will tell you what though – when TTC for my 1st, we were like 22 months of TTC at the time, I was not happy with my doctor and was looking at changing fertility specialists – so booked an appointment with a new one: I was on my 1st cycle of Clomid (with old Dr) and wanted to have a back-up in case it failed as I didn’t feel “it” with the then current Dr. The new Dr was planning on us doing IUI (and only then not IVF only because at the time there was no way we could afford it as didn’t have Medicare) straight up – but little did I know that I was already pregnant when I went for that 1st apt (like 7 dpo lol) – I think having a plan to take action upon what would come gave me a bit of confidence and allowed me to relax…so you go and plan away! :D
Ash – I used to eat well, yes, calorie wise no issues, but I used to have a very girl mom diet (not very good nutrient wise – I would eat a lot of fruit & veg yes, but very little protein (especially animal) – so would fill myself up with lots of empty carby stuff and go for extended periods without proper food – i.e. snacking on junk) … when you add Clomid to the mix, no wonder I had 2 girls lol
Haha, now I have multiple stalkers – love it! I stand no chance of sneaking in a test without you guys knowing :D
Netti – sorry I can’t see too much admittedly, but I am not a great eye squinter (is that even a thing? lol) – FX for your u/s – and that you at least get some answers very soon!
Lola: you have done so well and it sucks not to catch that egg. I am sorry to hear. Maybe your stress has delayed O after the surge so you might have missed it by a few says?. I am not so familiar with pink sway. But i think with you have some backup plans and doctor visit, that might help you feel more relaxed this cycle and bam! BFP! :)
Yes Lola i do. Ive just had this 'feeling' for over a week but i really felt the symptoms these last 3 or 4 days. Nausea started Monday.
