help ! Ovulation nightmare 😩😩

[Natasha2012]

please ladies help me out as my clinic are as ever absolutely useless !!!!

I was using the clear blue advanced purple test .. the one with flashing smileys turning into a solid when lh is detected . Been using once every morning since day 8 and have flashing smileys from day 10. Had 3 days of flashing and then my solid smiley yesterday morning . They then tell me I shouldn’t be using the digital as it doesn’t pinpoint well enough 😩 I have been using cheap opks ( one step ) and then started going positive today and my I think I’m having my surge today and my boobs are killing me which is common for me at ovulation . My transfer has been booked counting from yesterday when I told them I had my surge . But clearly it’s today 😩😩😩 have I messed it up ? Does one day out matter with natural fet ? I’m really beating myself up over it as it’s my last embryo and I feel so much pressure . X

I have premom ovulation test, they work perfectly. I bought a pack of 100 with may be under 10£ off of amazon. I highly recommend them.They also have a free app where u can scan the results and see the progress.

I hope your journey turns out to be smooth.

I think the digital picked up the very beginning of a surge but I’m having the real lh surge now so I’m worried my transfer being booked on Tuesday is too early 🤯 x

Hi Natasha2012, I used the Clear Blue digital tests on the instruction of my clinic and they scheduled my transfer based on the day I got my first solid smiley. I’m now 31 weeks pregnant so it worked for me and I’ll keep everything crossed that you have the same outcome! x

What's your timeline? I was using Boots pink dye tests till they indicated ovulation and then I did a clear blue and got the solid smiley.

My timeline was day 12 dark line on Boots, Day 13 dark line on Boots and solid smiley on Clear blue. Then day 13 trigger shot and day 18 transfer.

I’m not sure on the usual timeline but I would guess it may vary from clinic to clinic and person to person? X

I was testing from day 8 on the clear blue , was using cheapies once a day just as a backup . Got flashing smileys from day 9 but was only testing once a day . Got my solid smiley day 13 . After they told my not to use digital I carried on using my strips and then only went positive yesterday so the day after my static smiley . My transfer is Tuesday so if I ovulate today then that’s only 4 days after my ovulation 🙄. They said to take the initial peak but my strips were completely negative when the clear blue solid came up . X

There I was telling you I’m the ovulation queen and now I’m doubting myself 🤯 my embryo is booked to be put back in day 19 after solid smiley on day 13 . I normally ovulate day 14 but feel like I’m ovulating today day 15 but your timeline is quite short aswell and it worked for you 💕 xxxxx

[Doodlebug23 in reply to Natasha2012]

Ok so if you go by solid smiley that’s day 19 and I was day 18. This is going to work!!! 🙏🏼💖

[Natasha2012 in reply to Doodlebug23]

Even if I’m having my real surge now ? My boobs are killing me and the dip tests are very dark . My surge must have been delayed . I usually ovulate the day after my solid but this is two days 🤯🤯🤯 xxxx

[Doodlebug23 in reply to Natasha2012]

Bodies are weird and wonderful things, and no test can be 💯 accurate.

My strip test wasn’t super dark when I had the smiley.

I think if the clinic are happy with the plan then just try and relax and go with it. Your body ovulating and releasing all the chemicals and signals has happened, and remember, natural conception is possible for a few days around ovulation so surely putting the embryo in must be the same?!

Let’s get those positive vibes going! 💪🏻

I thought it was weird my strip tests weren’t going dark , it normally tally’s up with the digital . This month has been super odd . I don’t trust my clinic and that’s the problem . I didn’t expect to ovulate so long after the solid 😩😩😩😩 xxxx

[Natasha2012 in reply to Doodlebug23]

you give me the positive vibes ❤️

My clinic pretty much insist I DO use the clear blue digital ones (as opposed to a non-digital variety)! So I can’t imagine there is a lot in it.

[Natasha2012 in reply to K_LNB]

I assumed it would be fine ! It really threw me off 😩 xxx

[Twiglet2]

our clinic wanted us to use the clearblue purple one so I think that’s indicated your surge. My clinic get you in for a blood test later that day you get solid smiley to confirm and it’s always been right for me. Xx

[Natasha2012]

my clinic have been awful and not made anything easier . I must have a long surge? X

[Natasha2012]

so basically i haven’t done anything wrong and it doesn’t matter if I ovulate a couple of days after my solid? The lack of communication and care from my clinic has made my process so much more stressful 😩 xxx
