Hi, girls

Good news! I'm on CD 13 today, and got my first +OPK this morning! :woohoo: :woohoo: I actually felt it last night already - I had severe, AF-like crampings in my pelvis, pain shooting into my lower back and down my legs. The cramping felt different this month, compared to other months, so hopefully that is a good sign!

Here is my OPK's for yesterday morning CD 12 (Top), last night CD 12 (Middle) and this morning CD 13 (Bottom):

Hi @Jooste

I am so sorry for your loss - it must have been heartbreaking! :cry: I believe it will make you stronger. I also believe everything happens for a reason! :) Were you on clomid the cycle you conceived and then miscarried?

I used another OPK this morning, still negative. :pinch: :swear: Can't wait for it to have a smiley face. Until then, I'll still BD every other night until about CD 20... Then we'll see what happens. I'll keep you updated.

Good luck with your new cycles. You are in my thoughts.

So true!

Ha ha!! (OPK...little buggers!)

I always use OPK's and they work all the time. BUT!!!-
then I fell pg in Oct last year....and I never got a +OPK! I even did a progesterone test on CD23 to see if I did OV, and the test results indicated a level of 16.1, which barely indicates Ovulation. (normal parameter is between 16 - 80). So my FS told me that I did not OV and if I did it was a poor ovulation and that I should ask him for Femara when AF arrives. Well, AF never arrived....I fell pg that cycle!
(unfortunatly miscarried at 8 weeks).

Anzel,

Good Luck fx for u.

Every second day is good it gives you time to rest lol.

Maybe I did something wrong or the little stick were old :woohoo: :silly: I even went on the cm when it's like egg white and OMG was that a mission :tmi:

My FS gave hubby some sachets to use for his sperm (he had a low count and I was struggling with ovulation due to PCOS) I will ask him what the name is and let you know. It's very expensive I think I paid like R700 for 30 sachets, but it worked. He used that for 30 days before I took my Clomid so that his sperm were stronger.

I used to hate the ttc journey - 3 years with 1 mc, I never want to do it again. I am happy with this one.

Thank you my time is almost up before I meet him. Just keep on trying it's fun (well sometimes) :heart:

@Anzel - I drink alot of water like you and I would always slow down on the water at about 5pm and I would test at 10pm when I went to bed. This seemed to do the trick for me every time, I never got a smiley with FMU or even at midday, always the evening.

Good luck!!
