Feeling confused...

So I’ve spent the past few days in a real grump since my post op consultation on Wednesday. Long story short, has a laparoscopy for endo removal, and also I don’t have periods, I can go 100+ days without one, which led the consultant to say I don’t ovulate, along with lots of bloods, peeing on ovulation sticks etc. I haven’t ovulated for the past 8 months!

So next plan was hubby to get tested then onto clomid and a pill to bring on my periods. Just sort of opening up to this being my only route to having a baby..

Anyway in the mean time dr suggested I try the ovulation tests at home and just see as well as going in for regular bloods... and just keep having sex and see what happens in the mean time. so peed on a ovulation stick this morning and there’s a line... it’s faint but it’s there even hubby said it’s there... trying to not get my hopes up! I’m currently on day 49 of my current cycle since last period, but with an op on day 11, so this cycle I’m not really sure where I am! As I did bleed post op but that isn’t a period.

My head hurts!! I’m trying to not get excited but also need to get on it in case I am ovulating and can actually do this naturally! May not get a chance again!

Any ideas? Am I going crazy? Is it even possible?

It's possible that your op has helped your ovaries, was that where they removed the endo from? Definitely try in case it has helped. And keep.going with the sticks over the next few days to see if there are any developments. Has your Dr given you an idea of when you may start the meds to force a bleed in advance of clomid? If so, obviously tell them you want to wait until at least 15 days after this test and a negative hpt before you start. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you xx

Thanks for the reply! Dr did say she was hoping the op would trigger some movement as endo was in womb and on ovaries.

Going to keep testing for the next few days and see if the line gets darker.

We have to wait for hubby to get tested before I can start any meds. And he has an appointment in two weeks, then has to do his business and then wait for results so that’s looking at being atleast a month away before I can even get a prescription for them! So should obviously won’t start anything until I know for sure!

A laparoscopy did make my friend start ovulating when she didn’t before so it can happen!

Eeek! Lol

Just had my letter from my consultant through today too. And reading that has made me worried I’m getting my hopes up!

But I haven’t had a change in CM for months either, I’m normally quite dry until I finally get a period. But at the moment there’s a lot of it, egg white, I’ve got a twinge on my right side, trying to not to think about it too much!

Hey hun. Glad you came here. You'll get loads of support. Just keep period g on them opks and keep baby dancing. See what happens hun. One thing is the drs are in it so that's the main thing if you don't ovulate they'll sort it if you do it's a good thing. Just try to relax and don't think about it too much. I know it's easier said than done but I can honestly say. Whenever iv fell on it's always been not expected but whenever iv expected to it's not happened it's just weird. Try keep away from stress and treat yourselves whenever you can.

How are your pains now? 💗🤗😘

That’s what I thought! Glad I’ve got somewhere to bounce my thoughts and feelings around!!

Pains are ok ish. I’ve just started getting right sided cramps today, but that could be ovulation??

AllWeNeedIsluv in reply toLexiiH17

Yes could be. When I ovulate I get lower back ache my hip will ache which ever side I ovulate from then later on that day will get a right throbbing sore ache type thing. No where near as bad as it used to be it used to be horrific. When you doing your next opk? Xx

Ooooo this is exciting I don't know if what I'm saying is the standard but I read somewhere that you should test at lunch time and do it something like 10 hours apart I can't remember for the life of me where i read it. I did it that way and noticed my line got darker in them hours. Just do what's comfortable for you keep up the High sex drive and wishing you all the best hun. 💗🤗😘

I'm not bad just trying to calm myself really I got my meds and crinone so nothing else to do but hope and stop stressing docs orders. Iv just read something on Ava saying it's confusing regarding the opks some say do one in morning and afternoon but do them twice a day it said it's just best to follow your brands instructions just base in mind once you get that positive you can ovulate anything from 12-36 hours sorry if iv confused you. That's my problem I try help and make matters worse 😩 hope you can make some sense out of this 💗💗🤗😘

You can’t make anything worse Hun. If it’s going to happen it will. That’s just life! Doesn’t matter if I test once a day or a 1000! As long as we BD then we’ve done everything we can!

AllWeNeedIsluv in reply toLexiiH17

Yes that's true. Remember sperm can survive a while too when I fell on in June we only danced that once and it was 6 days before I ovulated so yes don't put too much stress on yourself. But seeing them lines is helpful for our mental state I think it's like a reassurance. 💗🤗😘
