How long does LH surge/+OPK last

[littlemissmountain]

Hi ladies,

The appointment was really good

Our doctor is absolutely lovely and lightened the whole thing up a bit: "Don't worry, when you're 8 cm dilated and I'm telling you to push you'll be hitting me and screaming at me..'why did you let me do this, you should have talked me out of it?!'"

I am getting some blood and urine tests this week, DP a sperm test (he did that straight away actually, so efficient )... and we go back again in a fortnight. So my 2WW has double meaning now!! I gave her my charts too (she was quite impressed by FF which she hasn't come across before).

I feel such a weight lifted now that I have been given reassurance from a professional. I know it's just psychological, but I think it helped us both because we have been so anxious that it might not happen at all. She suggested that a specialist might put me on Clomid if the results come back a certain way.. which would be fine with me. Just crossing fingers for my fella's little swimmers to be strong!!!

Thanks for listening... hope you are all having a good week!

Thanks Katrina very sweet of you
TWW is driving me a bit nutty I have to say.... and I am only half way through!
My brother and his DP had a baby boy this week, as did one of my best friends, which has added to my insanity a little even though I am thrilled for them all! So I decided last night that I am going to go to Melb on Thursday for a few nights and catch up with everyone. It will be a great distraction So I will get back the day before we get our results...

Well AF turned up very early yesterday morning, which I was expecting... and I had a frantic week running around Melb and am exhausted! Thanks Bellarose, and I was all over the place, I was staying in Malvern but covered both sides of the river and beyond in my 5 days nice to have a visit 'home'... and even nicer to get back up here again!

It was a great distraction though... appt is tomorrow, so the wait will be over.
My partner called the Doc while I was away to hear about his results! Surprised me a bit that he did that, but I don't mind that he did. She said that his count *might* be a little low, but nothing major. She mentioned that if he didn't get the sample to pathology quick enough or if there was light/air exposure it may have affected results. So he might do another one, I don't know at this stage. I don't think I am ovulating properly, based on my OPK tests and a hunch... but not much point speculating now as the wait is almost up
Hope you are having a good week so far ladies, cross your fingers for tomorrow for me!!!

hey Katrina,
thanks for checking in!

Our results were quite good... DP's count *slightly* low, but not really anything to worry us as it was tested 55 mins after it was sampled. My results show *slightly* higher than normal testosterone but again... Doc reassured us that it shouldn't be a big deal. We are booked in to see a FS in Canberra towards the end of Sep... so another long wait!
But I have since had an US, and everything apparently looked very normal and healthy, though my ovaries are *just slightly* further from uterus than is usual.
I feel better even knowing that all looks good and should be working, just *slightly* slower perhaps?! I think I will be able to stop stressing for now, so that is definitely a good thing
Will continue with OPK's, charting, EPO, preseed and yoga!
and cross fingers on CD10 now, so getting into the good bit

had my birthday on the weekend (31) and my mum and stepdad have been here for a week, lovely.

hope you are all well and having a great week
