Lightening bolts up the ladygarden- Cycle buddies, BFP's due end of May. #thread2,

I would say it sounds like you're both ovulating! I would personally go by symptoms rather than when an app or whatever says.

Pocket- you hold the record for the longest cycle I think!

So i have a blood test booked for Tuesday as still no AF. But last night i got some cramps in the middle of my lower abdomen and stretchy egg white cm?
Does this mean im waaaay late in ovulating and I'm possibly ovulating now? I did the baby dance last night and this morning anyway for good measure. Im currently 16 days past when i was supposedly due AF! Still BFN's x

Finally changed my username and I've got a bit of a conundrum, first DC was a happy accident so this is my first time "trying" I was trying to label it as not trying not to but after 1 month of that I've gone full on crazy!

TTC#2
C2
CD - that's the question
Test/AF 19th May

So according to the science I should have ovulated last week, however after a very "exciting" start to the week and expecting to OV on Weds the symptoms just weren't there, really busy weekend and this week (Weds) I have full on OV symptoms, bloated, pain, EWCM the lot, have dutifully DTD every other day to combat errors but whilst my cycle is pretty much like clockwork would my OV dates change?

It's all a bit wait and see I guess but I'm a bit of a control freak and like to know where I'm at!

@1000 im on cycle 2 still :( i should be on cycle 3 by now but im either 12 days late or 12dpo. Depending on if opk picked up late ovulation or pregnancy. Can safely say its driving me nuts!!

Hello happy and pocket! nice to have you with us

What cycle are you on pocket?

Irregular cycles are the worst aren't they flame- although it's hard I would leave it to test, although you should see results after 14dpo I would have thought? My cycle can be up to 39 days

When are people due to test? Because of long cycles I won't test this month so I'm living my poas addiction through you lot! Hope there's some positives here.

leannie you must be knackered. My dh is usually delirious after 4 night shifts.

How have i only just found this thread Leannie? Nice name for it ;)

So i hope you ladies are having better luck than i am.. currently 12 days over due AF, BFN's all around. I either ovulated late and I'm being stung with a 4ww.. or i didnt ovulate at all..

Rarely having lightning bolts up my lady garden though x

I won't be testing till I'm late - my cycle varies between 26 and 30 days, so could be testing for a week and still get a wrong answer!

Hi! Jumping over from last thread :) stats below

TTC#1
Age 29
Cycle 9
CD11

I have rather irregular cycles and this month marks 1 year since we started TTC. Although I am only on cycle 9 as I had 3 months Nov, Dec, and Jan when I didn't ovulate or have a AF at all for unknown reasons! Hope we get lots of BFPs on this thread!!

Welcome to you both! Bloody bcp messes everything up doesn't it. I'm
Never going back on mine again. Feel better without it. Good luck to you both!

When are people approximately testing? Based on estimated ovulation? Very excited to symptom spot stupidly early with you all

Thanks Smurf. Wow you've really been through it. Sounds like your gp is well organised, better to get the referral in now than leave it- although hopefully something will happen in the interim! Fx for you

Age: 31
Cycle: Bit complicated, came off Yasmin in august, fell in September, mc in October. Only had two periods since then.
CD: either 16 or 60, depending on whether last show was spotting or light period
TTC #1

Hi ladies, can i joint,im all over the show. Came off bcp jan,my ovaries are currently having a party that the rest of my body hasnt been invited to. First cycle was 28 days, c2 was 51 days (shitty) cycle three ov symptoms started cd 11, continued through to Cd14, thought we had bloody cracked it, then cd15 i start spotting, think its too heavy to be ov bleeding, its doing off now after five days. Shit shit shit....so c3 is 15days long, guess i didnt ov and im now on cd5 instead of cd18.

1000 I'm glad you told your go.. I've been referred to rmc but gp is confident that was it just bad luck and she just wanted to out the referral in place to get it started as I think it could take about a year to even be seen by hospital here. On the other hand she did do all the bloods they wanted and all so far have come back normal with the exception of rubella but she said that only would matter if I was in contact with someone if im pregnant again. Waiting on three more results but told to continue trying and see what happens.
I have my fingers crossed for all of us on here for may but if not June! :-)
A cup of tea is a good cure for pretty much everything in my opinion

I'm sorry you've been through that smurf. To have the m following all the unknown stage must have been heartbreaking!
What you've said has been useful though thank you. I've told gp who also said it would go towards the three rm's, and she was very encouraging. Feeling much better today although this period is like nothing I've experienced before.

No DT think positive thoughts, this month could be your month! And if not we'll all continue onto the June bus together! I'm off to eat some chocolate and drink tea. Healthy eating starts tomorrow. Have a lovely evening all

Thanks 1000. Most likely will be first on the thread to be moving onto next cycle and June Bus 😩

Hi 1000 sorry for your loss. I'm fairly certain I had a chemical in December.. My af arrived a day or 2 early and I had to take a day off work I felt so ill. It was heavy but tbh I really didn't think it was pregnancy or miscarriage at this point. But 10 days later I was still bleeding and I read online do a test...I did and was shocked to get a positive on a digital one... A week and 3 tests later I got negative again but also a second lot of af like bleeding about 3 days after first ended... I booked a gp appointment... 10 days later I went to gp with appointment for what I thought was af to have started again... Anyway at that appointment I told her about all the bleeds but didn't tell her about the positive test.. As id had a negative since and i knew from the bleeding I couldn't be and tbh I didn't want to hear anyone tell me if had another miscarriage... Anyway she told me to come back one week later for a smear test (apparently that's done for irregular af). Honestly that idea freaked me out more than hearing if had another miscarriage and a close friend told me I needed to tell gp anyway I did tell her at that next appointment she said it was a chemical pregnancy in all likelihood but did say it was vital to tell them if that happened again esp as it would count towards 3 for rmc.
On a side note it turned out the last af like bleed was actually implantation.. She got a faint positive that day.. I made it to 6weeks 6 days (with a strong heartbeat since at 6w0d) with that pregnancy.. But main point is she did tell me they wanted to know if every got a positive test even if it didn't stick around very long!

Thanks DT got everything crossed for you. You might have this thread's first bfp! Good luck

So sorry 1000, sending hugs.
How is everyone else doing?
I'm just finishing my fertile window. Not feeling too hopeful that we'll get a BFP this month as didn't DTD as much as I'd hoped. Onto the TWW for me, with everything crossed for a miracle!

Thanks bingle! Yes, although I'm not surprised as my symptoms were dropping off I always had a little bit of hope, and it's been a bit of a roller coaster. I was extremely lucky though to get as far as I did on my first cycle though so I'm staying positive. I did a little toast in my head to the bean that didn't settle (don't want the wording 'settle' to offend anyone who's been through the same, it's just the word that's made me feel better, as they couldn't stay. Sorry if that's the wrong word in anyone else's experience) with a glass of wine with dinner, and I'm now trying to look forward to this cycle. I'm not sure if my cycles will be messed up by this, but we'll see. Glad to be able to speak to you all going through the same time 2ww.

Good luck to everyone! Really want some more bfp's on this thread this month.

Oh I'm sorry, 1000. I've got no experience of chemical pregnancy but I'm sending hugs because I can imagine how sad you must feel.

Well af has arrived late with a vengeance. So it was definitely a chemical pregnancy.. I'm really sad about it, but keeping busy. I'll remember my 3 bfp's
I'm not sure whether gp would want to put it on my record? Ladies with experience of this- do I have to do anything?
I think due to new test dates I'm
Technically testing next time in June but I'll hang around if that's ok as I want to see you ladies get your bfp's! Good luck to all.
On the up side, nice bottle of rose in the fridge and chocolate. Not had wine for 6 weeks (record for me other than my last pregnancy!)

So sorry to hear of your losses ladies. It's so, so heartbreaking.
Really hoping that there's plenty of good news for everyone this month.
Has anyone heard of lunar fertility charting? I know it sounds a bit 'out there'...a friend mentioned it to me recently. It's all to do with the moon and the time you were born. There's websites you can put in your details and it gives you ovulation dates (and times!!). Who knows how true it is, but my lunar ovulation day coincides with my predicted actual ovulation this month. Here's hoping it's a good sign!!
