Had a MMC end of April this year :(
Bled for 2 weeks & AF arrived bang on time..horrendous but told to expect that. So last month AF was late & I tested like mad - BFN. AF shows her ugly self on CD34 WTAF!!
Decided to ttc this month & OVed at right time & now AF is late again..HPT are all BFN & I'm finding this awful!! Getting a bit worried & more upset as its just a reminder that although I thought it was...my body is not back to normal yet. :(
Has anyone else had this happen?? What do I do??
Thank you if you have read this far.

Wifey I have used opk and always found a surge and was what/ when I expected, this month though it detected a surge at cd15 early for me and I clearly didn't as that was21 days ago and then I spotted EWCM a week later but still really should have af by now as it would still be 14 dpo so not sure what to suggest, when/ if I get af I will still use them though

Sore boobs is a good thing! It is actually a sign of fertility :)

Hi guys,

so sorry you are having a nightmare with cycles and sorry to hear about your mc's Sad.

I am so frustrated with my cycles. I have PCOS and was very irregular and then very luckily conceived DS (after a bloody long time trying!) Since stopping breast feeding had two 28 day cycles (great) then 36 day and then started ttc this month. Charting BBT and using opks but not sure if either will work for me. Thought I might have ov'd 15th but BFN on tests but getting cramps, tired, big boobs. It is soooooo hard when you don't know what's going on and a nightmare ttc when you have no idea when you ov. Very frustrated and feeling pretty bummed at my useless body....why won't it just work properly! Angry

Lolc & kitty...sorry for your loses Sad
Awful isnt it Sad
Lolc...It's just a change in CM (TMI- sorry) really as when my cycle was normal..that was alway a big indicator.
Thank you all for the advice.
Do I resort to OV sticks as we are ttc? Felt so 'pregnant' last week as my symptoms were bang-on when I was pregnant last time so was expecting either a BFP or AF. Confused

Kick, I hear you about the late ov, I'll openly say I have no idea when or if I ovd this month but don't think I was stressed around then particularly but was Ill, still never had this before so I think mc/ hormones has played a part as I posted in the mc section to ask and again it has happened to quite a few people in the second or third cycle after?!

Well - and pregnancy obviously but I remember thinking that if I was stressed right before AF then it will push AF out, but that's actually not right.

Just so we all know, this would be my first month of being back to month and I am normally 28/29 days and have been since I started at the age of 9 and am now 30.

This month, my cycle was 36 days. NO idea why.

The trouble is that you may detect the LH surge but you may drop the egg up to a week later.

Contrary to popular belief, if you are stressed around your ovulation time and that egg plays silly fuckers, your AF will be late.

AF will not be delayed for ANY other reason other than a delayed ovulation.

The simple answer is that you aren't ovulating when you think you are.

Hi wifey, I totally hear you!!!
Mc may and first af bang on time really, the longer side of normal and like you said heavy, currently I'm STILL in my second cycle, I'm usually a late 20's girl as early as 25 an no later then 32 here I am on cd36 almost 37 and no sign at all! Bfn and getting really depressed as its the raised hopes!! I can't understand why the first cycle would be ok but the next ones screwed?!? When your desperate to conceive again though an extra week or two is torture, I've never wanted af to appear until now it's actually really upsetting isn't it x

Hi wifey
I've just had a mc last Friday and been told to fully expect WTF cycle. It is an awful reminder of what's happened, you are right, but as far as I know there is nothing that can be done?
How are you tracking ov?

wifey6 · 26/07/2012 18:19

Sorry...forgot to add that my cycles are 29 days
