2WW - for those TTC-ing

[simbb]

Hi simbb, can help me to interpret as well. This what I tested last cycle.

Hi angle bb,

The opks taken on your cd20 has consistent dark lines for the different timings. Did you temp last month and/or observed ewcm around the same period? It was likely that you ovulated 24-36(48)hrs -> depends on the instructions on your opk strip<- after that? Since you have decided to see a gynae, please go ahead as it leaves you with less guessing work.

The more I search online, the more exceptions I find (see below). The human body is just so unpredictable, isn't it? For my current cycle, my darkest opks lines were dark but not as dark as the control line, but I observed ewcm and my bbt is still crawling upwards (I am also a slow bbt riser). Haiz... this spanner package (the not so dark lines and the reading of Luteinized Unruptured Follicle Syndrome) veered me off course. I shall read more and get my bearings right.

Luteinized Unruptured Follicle Syndrome

Occasionally, you can experience all the classic signs of ovulation, including an LH surge and change in basal body temperature and still not have ovulated. In a condition called, Luteinized Unruptured Follicle Syndrome (LUFS), the egg reacts to the LH surge but is unable to pass through the ovarian wall. The follicle then forms a cyst which, in most cases, dissolves on its own. Since your body reacts as though ovulation has occurred, the only way to confirm LUFS is by seeing the cyst on an ultrasound.

Ok.. I will go visit gynae in sg when I got positive opk. My hubby don't encourage me to go and check. But I feel to find out the root y we just hard to conceive naturally.

yes! jiayou! fighting!

my company requires quite a bit of my entertainment...which includes binge drinking and eating.

anybody TTC after a miscarriage? I just had my D&C done on 2nd Nov, and am now still contemplating whether to start trying again for a baby. Gynae mentioned to me that I don't have to wait for the 1st cycle to kick in, and in fact I can already start trying. Also heard that the 3 months after a miscarriage, one will be more fertile.. I wonder if its true?

I'm trying after my MC. I waited for 1 cycle but that's because I want to make it easier to date my ovulation and edd. My gynae told me can try anytime once I'm emotionally ready

 

[blackcanary]

Feeling confused.. I have a positive opk on CD18. I test again the next day and the line went fainter. Tested again on CD20 and the line is almost not there. However, curious me when to opk ytd (CD23) can saw a line intensity similar to CD20..

Anyone can enlighten me why is this so?? feeling so confused..

TIA

I read that it's normal to see opk+ for a few days. It measure the LH hormone in our body which spikes just before ovulation and taper off after. So sometimes you will see opk+ for a few days as it takes some time to taper off.
Also if the test line is lighter than control line. It's considered negative.
off

Hi simbb,

I do chart my bbt last month. Temperature up on cd23. Although the temp different is 0.5 degree but it climb up very slow. Ewcm on cd18.

I think is quite tally with opk. Right?

I experience the lufs once. I am doing iui that month. Was given injection to stimulate the eggs. AF visit 2 days early as expected and it last from 10 days. Doc diagnosed the cyst. He ask me go for ivf straight cause he say my ovary too think.

[MatchaLatte]

Hi @MatchaLatte,

Have I interpreted your opk results correctly?

cd18 - positive (is your test line is the same colour as/darker than the control line? something like sista angle bb's picture on opk strips... something like her cd28)
cd19 - fainter than cd18
cd20 - very faint

My positive opks do not last very long (mostly 1 day at most 2 days... I suspect, 2 days = first when LH is going up, second when it is coming down).

I read that it's normal to see opk+ for a few days. It measure the LH hormone in our body which spikes just before ovulation and taper off after. So sometimes you will see opk+ for a few days as it takes some time to taper off.
Also if the test line is lighter than control line. It's considered negative.
off

Hi simbb and blackcanary,

Thanks for the reply! Here's a more detailed version.. Next time I'll rmb to take photos.

CD18: Same intensity as control line (+ve test)
CD19: Line is fainter than CD18
CD20: Super super faint line... Almost no line
CD23: Line appeared.. similar to CD19's intensity
CD24: No line again

I did not use opk on CD21 and CD22. Curious as to why CD23 got the line since CD20 the line alr cleared up le.. But so far my temps have been up since CD20.

Hope its just a random thing and won't affect this cycle..

Hi, can anyone advise when to scan the follicle size near to toa payoh or adjunied?

Or any good gynae nearby?

I'll probably view CD 18 as the date for ovulation but can take up to 5 days for our body to actually ovulate after opk+. Sometimes our body behave funnily I probably won't give too much thought over the faint line on cd23, maybe it's something you ate that cause a spike in LH. I guess we will know the answer between CD 32 to 37?

Hi gals,

Just some update from me. I have opk +ve today. Went to scan for the follicle. Me and the doc manage to see the follicle. Is 20mm and lining is 10.6mm. Doc say lining is abit thick. But is still ok. That means the doctor I went to see the other day in malaysia do wrong.

If lining is thick is good or bad?

Previously I went to TMC to scan for my functional cyst. The senior sonographer said I have thick lining which she said AF gonna come soon, thus the thick lining. She also asked whether I feel cramps before and after my menses. Does this thick lining affect conceiving?

Hi Mummies

[diamondfericia]

Is there other lining besides this particular lining?

Hi angle bb,

It is good to know that your follicle has grown. Will you be doing anymore scans/tests to confirm that you ovulated? In the meantime, enjoy bd-ing and hope you catch the egg this month.

 

[blackcanary]

Today is the last day of my 2ww. I'm keeping my finger cross. So far no sign of AF yet

Hi Luckyme~,

To confirm, you may wish to test again a few days later to see if it turns darker.
