It's ok I've googled it... you put your saliva on a glass slide and leave it to dry. . If it makes fern like patterns which can be seen under a microscope it is a sign of ovulation .... bizarre how the body works!

Started taking the vitex this month. Had a positive ovulation tests on CD 11... Say What???? I've also noticed a Lot more fertile cervical mucous for more days. Usually I'm lucky if I see ewcm for maybe 1 day usually.

@mill I heard good things about vitex, but in my case didn' t work..Doctor gave me for 3 months but I had 38 and 39 CD from it and I felt bad durring it then after 2 months I stopped. My cycle was 28-29 before it now it's back to normal.

@mill here’s hoping for a good fertile week for you!

AFM I had another huge temp shift to the hottest ever recorded on my charts, took a FRER but negative which I expected as it’s early days. Honestly I think I’m just getting ill ass opposed to pregnant

I’ll test again on Friday I think, period due Monday

@mil That’s great! I hope it helps you with your fertility!
@beck Those are awesome temps! I hope it’s not illness. How are you feeling?
AFM 12-13 dpo and AF should be here anytime before Friday. Since my cycle is off, I’m not sure which day to expect her. I just know it’s anytime in the next 4 days. Other than very white and snotty like cm Friday, I’m feeling normal. A little breast tenderness today which is normal before AF. Some pinching around my ovaries the last couple of days which I’ve come to realize is also normal before AF. So let’s get this show on the road!

@momma I feel absolutely fine so I’m not sure if it is illness. A couple of people who have looked at my chart seem to think I didn’t actually ovulate until CD21 which puts me at 2dpobut it just doesn’t seem to lineup with other things like CP and CM. So I’m not sure where I am this month. I might do one more temp tomorrow then leave it at that

Last cycle my period didn't start without the aid of provera and I saw a very faint line on clear blue rapid results test but turned out to be negative,never got darker but this cycle again seeing a faint 2nd line at 9dpo not using fmu but I'm scared it will turn out that I'm not pregnant

@starlight I think I see what you’re seeing but I never trust blue dye tests! Good luck getting a solid bfp!

AFM I put in a dummy temp for tomorrow on FF and it does move me to CD21 being O day, so this cycle will be a bust! 7 days until my period.

@starlight I see a faint line as well, but like Beck I don’t trust blue dye tests. Crossing fingers for a darker line soon!
@beck Why do our bodies have to be so difficult? If AF is due in a week, I’d say it looks almost like an anovulatory cycle. ????

Hello my friends, hope you all are going well. I wanted to update you that my scan today (7 weeks based on LMP) did not go so great. My gestational sac looks empty and only measuring around 5 weeks. I'm hoping the baby is just a slow grower. Doctor mentioned early miscarriage. They took blood again today to check HCG for doubling. I will find out tomorrow and if it's still going up go back for another scan in a week. Feeling defeated.
