Hmm. I duno. I would maybe check your cervical mucus and when that dries up, count that as 1dpo. At what time today did you get a + OPK?

It really doesn't make a huge amount of difference in the grand scheme of things...

It kind of does because of my day 21 test - it's supposed to be next wednesday but I think i will change it to next Friday so it is 7 dpo. I got the smiley in the morning.

Last month I was told my prog was low, but I had got a smiley, so think they did it on the wrong day.

Also I need to say for this thread when I am 1dpo so I can be updated!

Think I will say from tomorrow then.

I saw some research that says that fertility may be impacted at BMIs above 27. So although the healthy upper BMI is 25 sounds like we get a couple of extra points leeway!

With that, I don't know if I'll ever get pregnant.

Right now my BMI is at 50.1. It's still 1.8 BMI points down from Christmas though, so that's a start.

Trina updated you. Hope you caught it x

Abis I did HPTs a few times but all BFN. Guess I'll just have to keep going until I get AF. Fingers crossed ov happens soon for you x

Vesper sounds interesting - I might watch that!

Code - men are grumpy gits. Hope he's cheered up today x

BZ - I've updated you to 1/2dpo but let me know if you want me update it further

Birdie I think the CBFM can take a few cycles to get used to your individual cycles. Have you looked at sticks on eBay?

I've updated you Amy - at least you know it's spot on this month!

Friday tomorrow everyone! :j :beer:

I'm sure you know that detecting an LH surge is not proof that you ovulated. Atleast they are repeating it this cycle so you can check.

Changing your appointment to next Friday sounds like a good idea. Unfortunate that you can't have it done on Saturday as that would probably be better. I would count tomorrow as 0DPO and Saturday as 1DPO.

I don't know what happened last month as something happened to my progesterone, it was not down at 2 or 3 as it was when I had the truly anovulatory month - it was 16 when they tested it. This plus the smiley makes me think I either did ovulate but they tested me on the wrong day or I ovulated an immature egg. As I had a lot of mid cycle bleeding, which I'm 99% sure was a reaction to the clomid as I'd never had that before, I think the clomid did something weird to me. However I've had no mid cycle bleeding this month so hopefully all is ok.

Right now my BMI is at 50.1. It's still 1.8 BMI points down from Christmas though, so that's a start.

1.8 down since Christmas is great! That's about 10lbs, is that right? If I lost 10lbs that would take me back to where I was last October and it seems a huge hurdle to me so I take my hat off to you, that's a great achievement in hardly any time.

I'm still reading with interest all the talk about the CBFM. If we don't get a BFP this cycle I might bite the bullet and fork out for one next cycle. Trouble is I'm not sure it's really necessary for me, apart from this month I'm regular to within a couple of days and temping works for me, so in theory as long as we keep bd-ing until my temp rises we should catch it?

Oh I meant to say, I watched the Baby Makers documentary yesterday, it was very interesting (and made me cry more than once). I thought the staff at the hospital, especially the doctor, were amazing.

can you put me down for dpo1 please at least i think as last two days had two lines on opk first being darker than 2nd today first line is lighter than 2nd so im guessing dpo1

So are these blood tests at the request of your consultant to check to clomid is working for you? At a level of 16 it does sound like you ovulated, but like you say, you went in maybe a little too prematurely for the blood test.

Hopefully this months results will show a better level, although you risk being only 6dpo again. I would maybe ring your consultants secretary and ask whether it's better for you to have the blood test at 6dpo or 9dpo as 7dpo will be a Saturday.

No point potentially having blood taken at the wrong time again. Did you tell them you think the test was done at the wrong time last cycle? Also, did you mention the mid-cycle bleeding - that would worry me if it's not happened before.

This is my first cycle of clomid and I have no idea how it's going to effect ovulation for me. My consultant asked me to come in 7 days before my period is due...but for me, that's 1 or sometimes 2 DPO so clearly the results will show low progesterone! So I'm going to try and go at 7dpo instead so I'm being very careful with my temps this months to make sure they are all correct.
