Can I join too please?

My mirena came out on 2nd July so this is my first cycle, although have no idea when AF is due or when to test really as mirena's been in for 3 years and haven't had AF throughout.

Guess I might POAS on 2nd Aug only because it's a calendar month on unless AF gets me first.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 13/07/2012 23:09

Hello to all the new ladies, best of luck to all.

sunshine thanks for your message af still isn't here, inspite of af pains all bloody day. Feels like she has mounted her broomstick but got lost. I did poas this evening and got a bfn so am just waiting for her to find me.

On the bright side two cycles ago I only had an 11 day luteal phase. Tomorrow will be 15 dpo so at least I don't need to worry about that.

letsdothisthing · 13/07/2012 23:08

Yes hi to all the new posters :o let's hope we all have some luck!! To the newcomers feel free to copy and paste the list and add yourselves to it and repost, the longer the list is the better ... to help the time pass!

Hi everyone!

Can I join too pretty please? I have also been lurking for a while and thought I should just buck up and get involved but wasn't sure what thread to join. I have PCOS and very irregular cycles. I conceived ds after 2 years of trying without medical assistance. Before that cycles could be up to 7 months apart. Since stopping BF cycles have been 27 days, 28 days and 34 days so massive improvement but not sure if i ov every time. Just started temping this month, using opk, taking fa and on CD13. No idea where i would fit for testing for BFP but would love to loiter with you guys whlst trying. Based onlast month cycle 1, ttc #2, hopiing for BFP 4th AUgust but who knows......

frustratedpants · 13/07/2012 18:43

Grin at Trying to plan BFP for start of month.

Here's hoping I'm we're all not in for the long haul.

HariboHeaven · 13/07/2012 18:32

Well I hope your stay on the ttc boards is short, I have a feeling I'm in for the long haul!! That is great that they have returned to normal quickly. I truly hope that everyone on this thread gets their BFP in August.

I watched the June and July thread unfold.. Does it seem that everyone gets their BFP in the first few days of the month then nothing happens after that? --(mental note to self- must plan ovulation so that my AF is due at beginning of the month)

frustratedpants · 13/07/2012 18:23

I think they are normal. Had 2 AF, and cycle seems the right length (didn't AF at all on coil)I deffinately O last month (get mittelschmerz), but only started POAS this cycle. Never had sore nipples during cycle.

HariboHeaven · 13/07/2012 18:11

Hi frustrated. I have tried POAS and got a positive (not that that means anything) a couple of cycles ago and that is when I discovered that the day of (possible) ovulation and the following 5 days I have incredibly sore nipples (sorry TMI). I also discovered that cycle that I have a 16 day LP. Since then I haven't had a positive pee stick but still get the sore boobs followed by AF 16 days later. I also get a lot of EWCM so I think I ovulate, just at ridiculously random times Confused

Anyhoooooo I'm bored of listening to myself moan now, so I will stop! Have your cycles returned to normal post coil removal?

frustratedpants · 13/07/2012 17:43

Hi haribo
Are you temping or wee testing for O?

HariboHeaven · 13/07/2012 17:21

Can I join? I am getting the hump with all this ttc mullarky quite frankly and I hope that some of you lovely ladies can understand my woes. Now we have been trying to conceive since february. My cycles are completely messed up. Since I have actually been tracking them (last october) they have been 42, 40, 38, 28 (??!!), 43, 34 and 45......... hhhhhmmmmmmm it's not looking good so far is it?! I came off the pill in August last year. Today is CD 11

We are ttc number 1 and we are now in to cycle 5. As you can see from the above, I have absolutely no idea when my next AF is due. Oh the joys Smile

I can relate to so many of you ladies with symptom spotting and all that jazz... seriously, I have questioned my sanity soooo many times over the last few months. I swear I used to be a normal person.

I have been a lurker on MN for a couple of months and just suddenly thought what the hell, might as well join. So here I am.

SunshineOutdoors · 13/07/2012 16:50

Hi resipsa sorry af got you. Try not to read too much into cycle length. I think as soon as we start watching our cycles they go all weird. Loads of people here have had odd cycles... too long or too short. Even if your reasoning is right, your body knows and is getting rid to make a fresh, perfect one, ready to be fertilised this month!

Cd 1's shit.... indulge yourself then give it a few days and you'll be raring to go again!

resipsa · 13/07/2012 13:48

Thanks Zeux. I need a kick up the a**e, probably.
BTW, for the stats - TTC#2- cycle 3 - BFP who knows after last month? Guess at 13 August!

Zeuxippe · 13/07/2012 13:37

resispsa sorry you're feeling down - hope this is your month

Zeuxippe · 13/07/2012 13:35

This is cycle 1 for me, we are trying to conceive #2. Not sure whether all the pill-popping will work but DD1 was a happy accident so am a bit nervous about actually planning it this time!! Waiting until August to start trying, for complicated financial reasons! Then aiming for the EOD method...

resipsa · 13/07/2012 13:33

My turn to join in. AF arrived today, 3 days before her time! Need to be lifted out of CD1 gloom...
Have never been early before (29 day cycle last month as a result which is the first time I remember it being less than 30 days) so all a bit odd. Worried cause I read that as you get older, your egg quality diminishes and "rotten" eggs break down early hence early bleeding. Assume this is just part of CD1 gloom and I will scoff at the analysis by CD 10!

SunshineOutdoors · 13/07/2012 12:29

Aufaniae I got my thermometer from amazon. It came pretty quickly I think.

SunshineOutdoors · 13/07/2012 08:20

Hi whenshewas in the nicest possible way I'm sorry to see you here. Any chance you're wrong about af?

letsdothisthing · 13/07/2012 08:02

Hi everyone, I'm on the TTC first baby thread to test on the last day of July but think that was being optimistic because I'm not actually due to ov until approx July 20th and then think I have a fairly long LP -16 days! Will see how it goes but may be testing anywhere from 31st July - 5th August!

Have been takin fa, EPO, opk's and started temping obsessed me, never!!!

threeleftfeet · 12/07/2012 23:48

Hey sunshine, I would be taking temps if I could remember what I did with the fertility thermometer! Can you get them from the chemist I wonder? Too late to get a Drs appointment for this cycle I think.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 12/07/2012 20:12

sunshine (waves) I am using opks, 17 month old dd is a dreadful sleeper so that kind of ruins any temping plans. V jealous of you becoming a sahm although I am home alone with dd for 3 weeks in August so might want to go back to work for a rest after that

Af is due tomorrow and I can feel her settling in to my lower back as we speak (I thought period pains were meant to improve after you've given birth).

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 12/07/2012 20:05

Hi katnis and frustrated (love the name).

You are not alone kat, I am ttc no 2 our dd is 17 months old and this will be our 4th cycle. We conceived dd on cycle 6. I am younger 33 but still worry about declining fertility, I have no real reason to am just a worrier.

Your symptoms do sound a little bit like pcos, prob best seeing your GP. I have heard good things about Angus castus regulating cycles, it might be worth looking into.

Best of luck both of you.

SunshineOutdoors · 12/07/2012 19:30

Oops just read a little and seen you've already talked about temps Blush

SunshineOutdoors · 12/07/2012 19:27

Hi everyone! Finding it hard to catch up as am back at work following maternity leave. Only for a couple of weeks then I'm off again. I'm only staying for a bit to be able to keep my maternity pay then I'm luckily able to be a sahm. Really want to be a mum of two soon.

I'll try and keep track of everyone but looking forward to a couple of weeks time when I can get to know everyone again properly!

Does anyone else chart their temp? I want to try this before opk sticks. I shagged like crazy last month but think I stopped too early Grin will attempt same this month but keep going for a week after temp change to be sure.

So tired at the moment finding it hard to fit any in. Is anyone coming up to ov time soon-ish? Early aug testers must be at it soon?
