Come one, come all, new and old, no-one wants to be here, but at least we're glad we've got each other :)

Hope your stay here is short.

Now, some BFPs if you please and BFNs for those who are waiting for them too!

Ooh, hotcookie, congratulations! We are most definitely on a roll! Yippee!

Stuck, let us know how it goes today. I'm sure they'll be absolutely fine at the rmc. Might be able to give you some reassurance scans?

Stuck I'm sure they won't be cross and I'm sure they'll understand you've followed advice. Just a week to go! That's not too long in the scheme of things. Download some distracting crap mobile games to take your mind off it.

Now off to furiously google "implantation dip"!

TurquoiseDress · 02/08/2017 23:35

If it's not too painfully dull, here are my recorded cycle days since last September.

Started TTC since last July but thought it would happen quickly so didn't bother looking at my cycles too closely until a few months in.

Plus I had loads of irregular bleeding post-MMC

2016
Sep- 30
Oct- 28 (temp up CD19)
Nov- 26 (temp up CD14)
Dec- 30 (temp spike day 19)

2017
Jan- 29
Feb- 28 (CB peak CD16)
March- 29 (CB peak CD15)
April- 29
May- 27
June- 30
July- 31
August- 25

None of it seems to make sense to me.

But then again, this TTC malarkey is harder than I ever imagined and I am astounded at how lucky we had been previously.

TurquoiseDress · 02/08/2017 23:29

@MouseLove

I've been off googling short luteal phase, never heard of it before.

I'm just feeling confused as my cycle has never been as short as 25 days before- well, since July last year at least.

Before then, I was either on the combined pill (started aged 19) or pregnant so I've truly never known what my "real" periods & cycles are like.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 02/08/2017 21:00

@BertieBotts last cycle I was temping and it didn't drop before AF, not even the day of AF. After that I stopped as I was too annoyed! Then this cycle I thought what's the point of temping as if that happens I'm none the wiser anyway and I'll just get my hopes up! I'm not worried about using it for confirming ovulation as I'm pretty sure i don't have issues there.

Interestingly though, I failed to get a Peak on cb or a positive OPK at all the first cycle post pill and the first cycle post mc. So maybe I didn't ovulate those months. The cycle I conceived I ovulated on CD15, as I have this cycle. Other months it's been cd18/19. But I've finally figured out my LP is definitely 13 days so that's good! At least I know when af is due

StepAwayFromGoogle · 02/08/2017 20:53

Bit late to the party but congratulations, Lime! That's absolutely great news!

I'm beginning to think opks aren't for me. Have been really stressed this month with all the stupid flashing smiley faces but no peak and then early AF. TBF it's probably more work related than anything else but I'm sure none of it helps. I was going to start temping but might just revert to dtd every other day - if I can work up the energy (isn't it exhausting all this ttc?!) X

JenCFA · 02/08/2017 20:39

lime I'm so pleased for you! I'm with you on feeling scared though. No major symptoms yet and it worries me. Daren't even glimpse at the pg boards.

Likewise smurf that's all good news. Tentative congratulations and v gentle hugs all round.

Sorry to all those who've been baby bombed or af-ed.

trying to ignore possible implantation dip on my chart

Google for "implantation dip" and you'll find more information about it.

Ekphrasis · 02/08/2017 19:58

I always used to have a 25 day cycle and seemed to ovulate around day 11-13. Recently it seems to have got a bit longer - ov around 13 and then 27 or 28 days. Not sure why. I feel pregnant with ds on a cycle where i think I ovulated around day 12. I think my mc was day 13. I did have a short one last month that was day 9 .

Ive found tempimg, checking cm abd opks have helpes me see my 'pattern'. I get cm after I ovulate too apparently.

Turquoise I am taking ubiquinol- at the least I have more energy!

BertieBotts · 02/08/2017 19:56

Turquoise yes luteal phase should stay the same. But you can have a 1-2 day temperature drop during luteal but before AF. Sometimes it's a sign of implantation, especially if it happens somewhere around 7-10dpo, so don't lose hope yet!

IME I usually get AF before I get the temp drop for AF.
