| Just hoping someone with some experience with an ovulation microscope can help me !! I had a missed miscarriage on 4th May so no idea whats happening with my cycles atm.. started using the OM straight after the bleeding stopped and saw nothing till this Saturday, I used the OM in the afternoon and saw lots of ferns (after seeing none in the morning) and then the next day nothing again... I hadnt had anything to eat or drink 3 hours before like it says.. so I carried on testing and no more ferns till last night... and then none again this morning.. maybe im using it wrong ? |

Don't want to read and run but Ihave no idea when it comes to ferning.
Only thing I can think is that its taking your body a while to get back to normal after your miscarriage. i know there are a few ladies on here who have had the same sort of confusing results with their OPKs after a miscarriage. Hope it sorts itself out soon for you  -------------

| Your miscarriage could be throwing things out a bit but as a regular user of an OM I can tell you that they can be temperamental. I would recommend you use it as soon as you get up in the morning. I don't use it at any other time of the day to avoid possible contamination. I get pretty good results this way i.e. they match my BBT. A couple of times I have gotten partial ferning when I've had a few drinks the night before but I just ignored those two as it wasn't even close to the time I usually OV. Hope that helps. |
