FX for you kc15880

Hi kc and good luck this cycle! I am very interested for some more info if you're happy to share? I know about blood tests to confirm ovulation 'has' happened but what are they testing prior to o (I'm assuming lh?) and how do they know what 'bloodwork result level' is equivalent to a pos opk?? Have you ever charted?

Pbn3 yes I have been swaying since last November. Diet was so strict at first and I then messed up my luteal phase so I had to relax a lot. Been vegetarian since then and exercising 5-6 days a week.
Can't believe I'm actually posting this but on Friday I got my bfp!!!! Obviously I'm obsessing now and did another today which was a lot darker... I'm pretty worried it's so early and might not stick but still pretty excited Need to catch up on this thread now xx

Thank you! I'm in shock and also a bit worried as it's still very very early, and I know how upset I'll be if it doesn't work out!

At the moment I am CD10. (I normally O around CD17-21 - the day after +opk). I am having second daily blood tests at the moment tracking progesterone, LH & oestrogen. As my levels increase I will have daily bloods. The lab rings me each day with my results & they will tell me when to BD (they want me to BD 3 days in a row which is why we are doing smep this month). 7 days after I O they will do bloods again to measure my progesterone. I hope that makes sense.

Yep makes sense! And thanks for explaining! We should be oing very close to each other 😀! Cant wait for us all to be in the 2ww!
