I hope I’m not too early or jumping the gun at all I just thought I would get this started as I have a few questions.
My ep was in October last year so I’ve been ttc since around xmas time to no avail I have been taking vitamins and folic acid, but Everytime af comes I get so deflated and low. I decided to stop taking the vitamins but wanted to just for one month use OPK’s just to one, make sure I was actually ovulating and two to give me an idea of the time of month I do ovulate.
My questions are:
Am I right in thinking I will ovulate around the same time every month? So by hyatt doing the ovulation tests this month I’ll have a better idea?
I’ve been using a well known brand and for two days now I’ve had the flashy smiley, is that normal?? Should I have only had one day flashy smiley? I am on CD 12.
Also every month since the ep ive had these horrible pains around my ovaries and never gave it a second thought until yesterday when I got the flashy smiley and the horrible abdominal pain, could the pains I get be ovulation pain?
Sorry for all the questions. And sorry if I started this a bit early…
I believe that you should ovulate around the same time each month if your cycles length stats the same.
My friend used the smiley face ovulation and she said it does flashy smiley face as your lh increases and then a smiley face that doesn’t flash at the peak so gives you 3-4 days of most fertile.
I was also getting stomach pains around the time of ovulation.
Wishing you lots of strength love and baby dust xxx
Hi I’m moving across bfn on 11 and 12dpo unsure when I’m due on.
I had my surgery 31st dec in feb I used ovulation kits and ovulated day 16 this month I seem to have ovulated day 11 only because I had a bit of spottig on that day and ewcm but I figure my cycles are still getting. Back? X
Hi butterflyrose, how are you doing? You must be coming up to your 12 week scan?
How is everyone getting along this month? My af is due end of next week, but I’m not holding out much hope as I’ve been unwell and so bd’ing has not been as regular.
Waiting for the hospital to call me about an appointment. Apparently they will call me before the 27 April.
Had some light spotting a few days before AF due, and then AF never arrived. Waited a week and BFP, so think I am about 5 weeks now!
Feeling quite nervous, and not looking forward to Dr appointment to ask for referral for early scan worried they will tell me I don’t need one. No weird bleeding like with previous pregnancies at the moment, so fingers crossed.
Huge congratulations Kj, such wonderful news. When’s your drs appointment? I hope you get a scan quickly. Please do keep us updated on how you are.
Ah butterflyrose 11 weeks. Not long to wait for midwife and then your scan. How are you feeling? Let us know how each appointment goes, will be thinking of you.
Hospital called today. My appointment is on the 16th July. Gutted to be told j have to wait 3 months. I’ve asked them to let me know if they get any cancellations as I’d be keen to see someone sooner. Feel totally gutted it’s so far away. My husband hopes we won’t need it but I’m not sure I have his positivity right now. Feeling very emotional this evening
Oh counttysidecrazy, sending you big hugs. It does seem such a long time to wait but you never know what can happen when the pressure is off. My friend was waiting for her appointment, went for her first one and when they rang with her blood test results they told her she was pregnant. Xxx try not to give up hop, have some fun. Xxxx
thanks for congratulations. Didn’t get to see Dr as working away from home but spoke on the phone, she has referred me for scan next week. So waiting for confirmation of that. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Just thought I’d check in and say hi. Although I’ve stepped back from the forum for a bit, I still think about you all frequently.
So happy to hear the good news from some, and that others are on their way to getting some answers. Also very sorry to hear that some have had to deal with more heartbreak… My thoughts are with you as always x
I’ve been so much more relaxed since taking a break from full-on ttc. Hubby and I are bding for fun again… I’m pleased to report the flame is still burning strong I’ve been focussing in building up my business, which is paying off. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still the odd tear when af arrives, but it’s not all-consuming any more. We’ve agreed that come July, one year on from ep, we’ll seek help, but till then, we’re just enjoying being a twosome for now.
Wishing you all happiness, good luck and baby dust. Will be thinking of you as always.
Countryside I really hope an earlier appointment will come up so you don’t have to wait so long xx I think the holiday will be a great time for you to relax though!
Red fairy lovely to hear from you too, I’ve been wondering how you are. I hope your more fun relaxed approach and step back from here bring you some happy news and I’m sure you feel better having a plan too.
I’ve been exhausted, sick and nauseous. Got a little bump starting to pop out too. Quite nervous waiting for scan still though xx
Ahh butterflyrose- so sorry to hear you’re having a rough time and feeling exhausted and nauseous. Not fun. But excited that you have a little bump!
Redfairy how lovely to hear from you- I think of you and the other ladies often and wonder how you are getting along. So pleased to hear all your positivity and glad you and your hubby are back on track with bd’ing for fun again. I hope you’re new approach brings you happy news soon.
Love and hugs to you all on this beautiful sunny Saturday morning
Had some bleeding this morning so been to Dr, have scan booked in for Wednesday morning it is going to be a long few days waiting. Hard not to worry, been told to take it easy, so no work for next few days as my job is very physical. I don’t have any pain or discomfort just light bleeding and a brighter red than the dark brown I had with both ectopics.
It is hard to know how to feel, not too negative as symptoms are different but not too positive because I don’t want to suffer that disappointment all over again.
Worried the whole roller-coaster is about to start again and what to do with myself for the next two days?! I am not too good at being inactive.
Sorry to hear you are having a tough time today. Well done for being so proactive and seeking medical advice so quickly. You cannot be too careful.
The next few days sound as though they are going to be tough. Try and be busy but not to physical. Maybe go for a drive? Meet some friends for lunch or coffee. Internet shopping and treat yourself to something? Or a box set to do a DVD marathon?
I’m also joy going at doing nothing so I know this can be challenging.
Please remember we are all here to support you throughout the next few days and beyond. You are not alone.
