Hi to the new joiners.

I'm on cd36 and no sign of af! Feel sick still, very bloated and exhausted. I didn't bring and pregnancy tests with me though, so won't be able to test again until Sunday.
Good luck to the other tww'ers

Johno85 · 19/07/2016 17:22

Hi piehunter (great name!) welcome to the crazy side

Bobo still nowt so far. Boobs sore, cramps, temp high, HR is oddly high. Think it's gonna be boom or bust for me tomorrow.

How's the rest of the tww ladies going? How many dpo are you now Bobo, 4? X

Piehunter · 19/07/2016 16:17

I've been lurking for a while now, so should probably say hi! I came off cerazette 3 weeks ago, no withdrawal bleed or anything however suspect may have ov'd this month?! Wasn't expecting to but Ewcm and now my boobs and nipple are so so sore! We aren't actually trying until after my appt on 15th August with pregnancy clinic as i have a condition that amongst other non pregnancy things causes miscarriage, so I may need my meds changing/adding to to give us the best chance!

LuciBee231015 · 19/07/2016 15:14

Thanks BoBo! 😊

BoBo90 · 19/07/2016 14:27

Johno she is just messing with you! Tell her where to go!

Of course you can join Luci! I will add you to the list ready Smile

Oh dear I think I can sense the witch is on her way! Cramps central and stinging boobs! Weird though as my temp is still high Sad

Purpleviola14 · 19/07/2016 06:24

That's reassuring. I started taking bcomplex too so hopefully that should help

ClaireSunflower · 18/07/2016 23:28

Hi purple my first luteal phase was 7 days. I started taking b complex vitamins after that to help lengthen it, after that they have been 10, then 11 day, hoping for a longer one this time. Apparently anything over 10 is fine, plus I've seen people get bfps at 8/9 dpo so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Purpleviola14 · 18/07/2016 22:35

Hi to all the newbies Smile

Purpleviola14 · 18/07/2016 22:34

Claire, I've been ov around cd 22/23 too, how long is your luteal phase? Mine has only been 9-10 days Blush x

LuciBee231015 · 18/07/2016 21:43

Hi Ladies, I've been keeping up with your updates, hope you don't mind if I join?

I'm planning to come off of cerazette in around 2 weeks time after my holiday... Absolutely dreading it as coming off pill sounds awful!

Excited, but scared of the side effects too! I plan to keep watching and will pipe up once I come off my pill, 2 weeks and counting 😁

ClaireSunflower · 18/07/2016 21:36

Thanks for setting up the new thread bobo! I am ttc baby number one and now on cycle 4.

I am now on cd19 and no ovulation yet (I think). 2 days ago I had a very nearly positive opk, did another one a few hours later expecting it to be positive and it had gone back to a really faint line. I am almost certain I didn't ovulate as I'm still getting twinges like I do before ov, and I always get sore nipples after ov, which I don't right now. Bloody confusing! All I can think of is that my body was gearing up to ov but didn't for some reason. The last 3 cycles iv been ovulating around cd22/23 so hopefully won't be waiting too long.

BoBo90 · 18/07/2016 21:33

Haha Johno!! 😆
Only two more sleeps to go!! But whose counting right 😉

Yay Sunny!! I was only thinking the other day that you must be pretty far along! And now you even know your having a little girl!! You must be so excited!! 😄🍼😄

Big up the team fx

OP posts:
Johno85 · 18/07/2016 21:16

I think team fx are more hopeful/excited than I am! Ovia says my average LP (across all my cycles) is 15 days. So if I can hold on till Wed I won't get the dreaded disappointment of a bfn before AF. Normally I can't wait to test. Now I just keep thinking AF will just show up. Eeeeek!

Loulabelle1990 · 18/07/2016 20:56

Johno I wish you would test already! Sounds very promising Wink.

So lovely to hear from you sunny! How is your pregnancy going? Congratulations on finding out your having a little girl! How wonderful xxx

Johno85 · 18/07/2016 19:27

Hey sunnydays. Lush to hear from you lovely and to hear you and little miss are doing well. Hope this amazing heat isn't too tough. Keep sharing those pills pearls of wisdom X

Sunnydays321 · 18/07/2016 19:22

Hi everyone! It's sunnydays from the preggo list, and from the original thread. I've been sneakily checking in stalking All of you! Sorry you are all still battling the crazy cycles but I'm wishing you all lots of luck on this new thread. Remember I was in the same boat, off pill for for 9 months, periods anywhere from 4-12 weeks! And short luteal phase. And I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant with a little girl. Keep at it! Keep doing the opks and temping, that's the only way I could make any sense of my wakko cycles! I will keep stalking you all for news xxxx

Johno85 · 18/07/2016 19:15

Thanks for the inside we've been on here too long knowledge Wink

BoBo90 · 18/07/2016 18:58

you just put -- either side of the phrase/word 😄

Tut making me wait 😫 I have everything crossed for you!! Xx

OP posts:
Johno85 · 18/07/2016 17:50

Pahaha Bobo! How do you do that think when you score it out?! Erm so agreed with DH not to test till wed morning. Then Saturday if Bfn and no AF. X

BoBo90 · 18/07/2016 17:34

Welcome baby! I will also add you to the list later 🙂

Oooh Johno exciting symptoms!! When are you gonna test?? !!TEST NOW!! 😄

OP posts:
Johno85 · 18/07/2016 17:22

Hi newbies. Hey bobo lets go with 2dpo Smile

I'm in the 2ww. Cd 38 today. Supposedly 12dpo. Temp still high. Boobs hurt and no sign of AF. Think my longest LP to date has been 15 days.

babydances · 18/07/2016 17:06

Hi pls could I join? I had my implant out nearly two weeks ago. It was 10 months out of date and my cycles were all over the place since Jan. Not got a clue when I'm ovulating etc as not had a period since having it out.
Ttc #2
Cycle 4
Age 30

Couldn't get out of date implant out for ages because of a potential anaesthetic allergy but it's now finally out and I suspect it was messing with my cycles

sarahhh1984 · 18/07/2016 16:48

Thanks Bobo! I'm off on holiday for two weeks tomorrow so I'm taking some hpts with me. If AF hasn't shown up by the weekend I'll do another test. Should have Wi-Fi while I'm away so I'll update you if I get a BFP! Fx...

Fx for anyone else in the 2ww as well! x

Nutcaserugby · 18/07/2016 16:19

Thanks @BoBo90 👍🏼
