Partial ferning on scope, 4 days now! - Trying to Conceive (TTC) Message Board

I have a very quick question - how long/many days do you get partial ferning for on the ovulation microscope

, i have had it for four days now and suspect im due to ovulate around monday.

Any help is appreciated

Hi SammieP. I'm not sure on the ferning question, because I just used the ovulation sticks, but I had a question for you about a post of mines. You responded to a post I had about the fibroids during pg and you were telling me about your friend that had the surgery. I was just wondering what ever became of your friend/pg/fibroids? I'm supposed to get this surgery in a few weeks and I was just curious.

Hi there, she is doing really well and so is the baby, she ended up having to have her right ovary removed as the cyst was too big but the doctors said that she will still be able to concieve in the future with just one ovary. She stayed in hospital for 3 days and has been signed off work for six weeks, she said that the surgery made her feel more tired than normal but that is understandable. She is doing really well and i think she is now 15 weeks along.

Good luck and let me know how you get on

Thanks for your response Sammie. I'm glad your friend is doing OK. I am petrified that I may have to have this done, or possibly have an ovary removed, but your story gives me some hope:-)

I didn't realize you were TTC. Have you tried the ovulation sticks? I bought the ones with 20 sticks and you test everyday around the same time. They worked! I also did the temps and the cm charting. Those were a little off, I felt.

I do charting, cm, cp, o scope, take Clomid (for infertility) the only thing i dont do is the sticks. This month is looking good though, its the first time i have had true partial ferning, its so pretty and its getting more and more each day. Today is CD13 and so we are bding like mad (eod anyway!), temps look normal at the moment and i cant see any hint of a rise yet so im hoping that the next two days they will rise, and then keep rising until i get a BFP

We have been TTC now for 20months now so im hoping we concieve soon, i have an appointment with the fertility specialist on the 5th December and so im hoping i can ring up and tell them that im pg and to give the slot to someone else, it would be a great gift to DH for christmas if i was.

Good luck and if you want to know anything else i shall do my best to help
