As said in previous post AF arrived unwelcomingly on 23 July. I hope this month my cycle is a little better and ovulation coincides with signs and the monitor.
Will take it easy this time round. Still the same I guess : BD everyday or every other day until O and use preseed.
CD12 On Saturday and some baby dancing is on schedule haha! CM has been in abundance as I've just finished the hot Crossfire series 3 books in 2 days, ahh! The emotional angst and romance between the two characters being Eva (or the 50 shades Ana!) and Gideon (or Christian Grey equiv!). Much prefer this author than FSOG, pretty well written in comparison.
CD13 and monitor is showing a brush sign error symbol with the test stick showing two lines (my usual tell tale sign that can mean the monitor should be showing peak) but it reads 'low' fertility.
Same on CD14 and monitor is with brush error. This time it has asked me to eject the stick and clean it. So I did and when I put it back on it reads 'low'. Quite disappointed that it is still low?! Quite unusual.
CD15 - monitor is now showing high (was expecting peak(?!) so went to Boots on my way home and bought the Clearblue Easy ovulation test and tested at 8pm with faint positive so I guess the monitor has missed the surge because of the problem with brush.
Must have been ovulating as I can feel massive cramps going on. Decided to BD anyway to maximise chances.
CD16-17 monitor is now showing high fertility but some reason I didn't test with the easy Ov tests. Oh well!
CD16 the bitch of uti returned after many months/year..! My saviour D Mannose was left at home so i travelled is few miles on the DLR to Greenwich to get my supplies. By the time I got home I was already in so much pain with blood in urine.
CD17 - either because of the fever or because of the ovulation, my temp shot up to 36.83 and just waiting on the crosshair to be confirmed by FF. Called the clearblue helpline and turned out they are super helpful. I've asked whether the device is faulty because it asked for a clean (brush symbol) and from then it gave me high instead of peak. Obviously they can't say for sure but she said that it may be that the monitor has missed the surge because it couldn't read the test stick. Since i have also tested the clearblue easy ovulation test she said I could probably go with the fact ovulation occurred on CD14/15. She said I can continue to feed the monitor with test stick every morning but if it has missed the peak it will keep asking for one until next cycle. Alternatively I can stop feeding it and let my 10 sticks remain for next cycle.
I think we are out this cycle. Because of these problems and also me being ill (with stupid UTI!).
Crosshair On chart confirming ovulation on CD15 by FF.
Oh well fingers crossed but probably better luck next month?
All my symptoms have been disregarded due to kidney infection. In fact the doctor has put me on Cefalexin or Keflex to Get better. So was thinking the chances was pretty low this month with me not being well and monitor a bit cranky.
Well hang on..just as i was giving up, I noticed the BBT temp chart has stayed elevated even past 13dpo (?!)
So out of curiosity I took out the clearblue easy test but was thinking 'hmm, I'm really just wasting a test here' as I was so convinced the UTI and antibiotics would have done me no good this cycle. As I dipped the stick in, slowly it turned to + BFP!!!
I still can't believe this!! So as my hands were shaking I went to my hubs to tell him as he was still sleeping and broke the news to him. He looked at me perplexed as I've told him last night when I had my pink discharge that the AF bitch is here and my back was aching and I had a bit of cramps. I then took out my FRER to test and lo and behold it went to faint positive too! Praise God for all these miracles!!
Some bfp pictures to look at. I've been staring at them for days!
