Trying for a Baby Part 9

blondy24

Hello. Sorry been AWOL for a bit trying to keep busy in 2ww. Hugs to all.

Afm - AF is due tomorrow have had a headache and tummy pains, was hoping this would be the month as tried really hard this month and bd on right days, oh well! Have had dreams for last two nights about pregnancy tests!

Im a bit worried about this, was wondering if all you expert ladies can offer some advice:

Im currently on CD12, been using the Clearblue Ovulation sticks since CD7 (the digital ones with the smiley faces)

So far its been:

CD7 Low (Blank circle)
CD8 Low (Blank circle)
CD9 Low (Blank circle)
CD10 High (Flashing smiley)
CD11 High (Flashing smiley)
CD12 High (Flashing smiley)

When should I expect the Peak? It says it identifies the 4 best days to get pregnant so I thought I would have 2 days of seeing the High smiley then a Peak??
Im now worried that Im not ovulating and never have a baby
Sorry for the long post xx

Hi Chelseablue when I used these in may I had 8 days of high. Unfortunately I ran out of sticks so used cheap opk and got positive result a few days later. Have read on net that a lot of people have more than a few days of high before peak. Try not to worry and keep using stick perhaps on conjunction with cheap ones. I have pack of 20 to use later this month if AF turns up.

Good morning ladies. I need to catch up with this thread. OH and I are trying again. I just need to wait for CD1 so I know where I am. X

So after having 0 positive OPKs last month, this time I tried temping. No positive result from temping either. VERY FRUSTRATING.

I have no idea what's going on.

If it doesn't work this month I might splash out on some more expensive OPKs, can anybody recommend a brand? I've been using the green ic ones from amazon so far.

Morning Ladies,
I've been lurking for a while now and I want to ask you guys if any of you can advise me?
My DH and I have an appointment with a fertility clinic later this month. We've been trying about 15 months and I'm 41.
Thing is, I've really overweight and I noticed that the letter says they won't treat anyone whos BMI is above 35, which mine is.
Do you think I should postpone the meeting and re-arrange for a couple of month time and diet for Britain or go anyway????

Thank you

I only have 2 test sticks left, if I have to buy a new box to keep testing, do I put the new sticks into the holder Im currently using?

Or use the holder that comes in the new box? xx

Agreed, go and get everything started. They may well tell you to go away and lose weight, but there may be other things that you and OH can do to improve your chances in the meantime and/or tests they can run.

Sorry not ttc related but if you saw an email ref consultation process would you assume redundancy?
