And I just want to say how much I love the genuine support from everyone on this forum.
Thanks djmommy. The solid circles were temps taken between 4 - 4.30am and clear circles between 5.30 - 6.30am. All taken after at least 3-4 hours of unbroken sleep. Couldn't do better than that with ds2 sleeping problems. Had two months where I had a little bit of ewcm in the evening, none at all last this cycle just some watery one evening and creamy a couple days later http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...ce4b999069.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...f3050fe636.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...5023c15f75.jpgQuote:

Yep! That's right MM!

Djmommy good luck with you bfp. I know the feeling. Emotionally draining it is! We had a break and back this month.
Congratulations Xxforhubby on your bfp. Did you do 1 attempt?
Pbn3 i use clearblue dual. They arent cheap but i found chemist warehouse was the cheapest. It tells you 2 days of your high surge and the 3rd day is your first positive opk. It took me a while to understand my cycles. I have been charting for about 1 year after i had my implanon out and my cycle was all over the place but generally there are 3 dips down in temp and your 3rd is O. My last 3 cycles has been regular +/- 3days. I have attached my last cycle. Hope this help xx

Not temp at the same time everyday does give you an a accurate chart. If you cant do it first thing in the morning i think you can do it before bed at least
Thank you tiffsal! I'll be shopping for opks this week and we have a chemist warehouse so I'll see if they stock them. Did you try any others? Seen mention of the smiley face ones several times also. With the ones you use did you always get the three high readings in a row so you knew third was positive opk?
I always had a positive opk with the clearblues.
I never tried other brands other than the cheap ebay ones (never had an accurate result)
The new clearblue dual tells you 2 days high surge and the 3r day should be your positive and that smiley stays one for 2 days. I didnt read it properly and thought it was faulty...but used it 1 and had an accurate positive that match ff.
The previous non dual clearblue used to be more affordable but the dual is more expensive....
But remember even if you are doing everything right releasing an egg having sex at the right time your chances of getting pregnant are still only 20% each month. The average person takes 6-8 months to get pregnant. I fell with my son being monitored so releasing an egg etc on month 4. I'm being monitored again this time around and this is month 3 trying. Just saying it's still early days don't stress [emoji5]️.Quote:

Your March chart to me looks like there is a pretty clear temp shift. What opks are you using? I think for the money wondfos are the best! And I think the girl diet can reduce ewcm a lot. Some women don't ever get a positive opk but get a dark line which would indicate a positive for them. Maybe try the bd every 4 days. Are you swaying pink?Quote:

Thanks djmommy I used 49 out of the 50 opks I ordered from an Australian fertility and family website lol. So was testing several times a day. I'd never heard of wondfos until this site so I don't think they sell them here. I don't mind forking out the extra dollars for better and more accurate opks so will try them and see how it goes. Just didn't want to completely miss the boat first go... and yes swaying pink so really wanted to try the one attempt first
Magical this made me lol!! :)Quote:

Thank you!! I ended up having one attempt in my fertile window with the previous attempt being five days before I ovulated. I believe the attempt that got me pregnant was the day before O.Quote:

Thanks hitme I'll check out Amazon. Just bummed to be so close yet so clueless despite all the preparation! Told dh I might make an appointment with my gp to see if there's a blood test or something that would show if I've ovulated this cycle. Had a check up and bloods done about 4 weeks ago to make sure everything else looked ok (general health wise). Maybe she'll suggest clomid hahaha I wish lol :)Quote:

Thanks magical I'm about 500kms north of brissy. I've been seeing my gp for 6+ years way before I even had ds1. She's great and I've got a really good rapport with her. I started tracking cycles July last year but only started temping since march. At least I can honestly say my cycles have been all over the show 24-29 days with alot of spotting during many of those months. I'm going to say I'm concerned about lt phase being to short and the fact I cant seem to get a positive opk. Hoping she'll run with it from there. She knows dh and my age to and if I mention he's giving it 6 months because of this she may be even more inclined to help work something out (clomid hopefully heehee). It's just that it took 6 cycles or so to conceive ds2 and that was with very regular cycle, positive opks, cm, temp spikes etc and I really wanted to be super organised this time in the hopes of conceiving sooner :)
Hi ladies I'm at CD19 and waiting to O. It's been almost 6 months since the miscarriage now and I really just want to get pregnant. At this point I'm barely swaying for a girl. I'm doing an hr of cardio every day but we've been going to our cabin on the weekends and there isn't a gym there so I skip it. Or I skip breakfast 6 days out of 7 but not every day, I also eat meat when I feel like it. We've been doing BF every 4 days but this cycle I will definitely add an additional attempt once I get a positive OPK. I just want another baby so bad, another boy would be fabulous, a girl would just be a nice treat that I can live without.
Good luck to everyone this cycle!!! It would be so nice if we all got BFPs!!
Junie I'm crossing everything for you :fx: this IS your month :)
Junie I like that you've relaxed your sway. The ache for a baby trumps the Dd I know. Good for you for adding another attempt at O. Should be anytime for you then!! We'll see you in the tww very soon!

Short luteal phase will def get her thinking of Clomid. I told my doc that I did some research, and that I used short luteal and possible not ovulating and flat out asked for Clomid. He handed it over. Thing is is im unmonitored being a small town with limited resources.Quote:

So I managed to get in to see my doc today and things just went down hill from there :(. I started explaining about my crappy cycles and lack of opks then proceeded to start crying my eyes out. I didn't think I was so stressed out, the whole idea of charting and using opks 3 months prior to ttc was to take the stress out of it and unfortunately it's totally backfired. She's asked me to stop temping and usings opks and relax. We are doing a blood test on Wednesday to determine if I oed last cycle so I'll get the results friday and hopefully take that stress out of the picture. I'm glad I had this wake up call as not only do I think I'm hurting my sway I'm hurting my chances of conceiving at all!! Sometimes I hate my personality always trying to control things lol, so I've come to an agreement with myself. No temping till after af and use digital opks and just see what happens. I'm going to stop thinking I have any control and just hope for the best.
Good luck Junie! It's nice to see a familiar face! It's been almost 8 months since my miscarriage. My due date would have been this past Friday, May 29th, so it's been a sad weekend for me.
Fingers crossed for everyone! I'll be cheering you on!
Sorry to hear that essnce I cant imagine :( I hope to see both you and junie and everyone else with bfps this month.
Big hugs essnce:(Quote:

My AF is lasting longer than usual the last couple of cycles. Possibly my supps I have mentioned it to Atomic and will be cutting EPO. I'm hoping this doesn't mean I will also O later than expected.
I just wanted to pop in and give you lovely ladies my support! I'll be cheering all of you on, and can't wait to see what June brings [emoji8]!

Stopping in to say good luck ladies. I can't believe it's been 1 year since I was in this group waiting to hear if I was pregnant. Awwee such an exciting time. I hope June is everyone's month!!
I know it was my month 1 year ago.

Happy June, ladies! Big *hugs* for essnce and anyone else who needs one. Stress prevents bfps, so we need to do whatever we can to relax. I've been trying meditation.
I'm on the day when it is hardest for me to relax. My temps are holding steady, I had unusual cramps last night, and af is due tomorrow. It's limbo day, stuck wondering if I'm preg or af is coming. I stopped testing early a couple of cycles ago (this is attempt cycle 11 for me), but I caved and tested yesterday because of good temps and cramping. It was a very white bfn. So nothing to do but try to keep myself distracted and see what tomorrow morning brings. Last month I had a temp dip a couple of days before af, so even if this isn't it, it seems my cycles are improving. Please say a little prayer for me!
Hi ladies. I hope you don't mind me joining in. I had a very positive opk this morning, I am only cd6!!! I was just wondering do I need to keep testing after today? We will bd tonight but not sure whether I need to carry on with the opks. Thanks :-)
I would continue in case this one is a false surge. You can get pregnant from early ovulation- I did with DS1! If opks stress you out, then I would just keep BDing every 4 days until you get past the latest you've ever ovulated.

Thank you :-) They haven't stressed me out really so I may just carry on with it :-) my cycles have been very short the last two months so I'm hoping this is it and not a false surge :-)Quote:
