It really is strange and I'm sorry for everyone. But it also a reassuring when you aren't the only one!

Chooklass · 23/08/2017 11:10

It's so rubbish that everyone's cycles seem to be playing up this month! I'm still waiting, but have had AF cramps for days! Couldn't resist and did another test this morning but still BFN. I'm usually like clockwork. Huff!

My AF was due on Saturday but not arrived yet. Previously took a couple of negative tests so not going to bother and feel I have usual period symptoms. I was very late last month I think due to stress so wonder if my body is trying to sort itself out again. However I have also started taking pregnacare since 22July so having seen others posts guess if could be due to that

Betsyboo87 · 22/08/2017 18:29

I just take some cheap folic acid from the supermarket. It's all the same.

@Chooklass I think it's reassuring. Tbh I don't really know what they do/don't show up but I guess nothing bad is good! I'll make sure I follow up with the gynae if I don't hear from her though. Boo to your af cramps!

Nissi7 · 22/08/2017 18:01

Before i took seven seas i took lidl folic acid ones but they gave me heart burn 🙈 not having much luck with them. I think im gonna try some boots ones next. Xxx

Chooklass · 22/08/2017 17:36

@Betsyboo87 I guess that's reassuring in a way? But maybe frustrating too?!

I had u/s in teens because of crazy periods and technician said all fine on the day, so I never chased it up. Months later my Doc mentioned the cysts! (which had all disappeared 6 months later). So it's good you are also chatting to gynae! X

Sitting on bus with awful cramps wishing AF would hurry up.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 22/08/2017 17:25

Lidl do folic acid ! Very cheap and nice teeny tablets. I just take that and vitamin D.

Penny31 · 22/08/2017 16:59

Well after 2 days of an extremely light af here I am with my usual heavy flow! Nice.

Im ditching the seven seas. I'm blaming them for the sickness and late af. Any folic acid recommendations?

Betsyboo87 · 22/08/2017 16:56

Sorry to those who have had af arrive! Love @holzyb20 for her positive vibes for next month.

I've read things about Seven Seas but it's all been on forums and nothing "scientific".

I had my u/s this morning, the lady doing said I have a tilted uterus but everything else is normal. Just waiting for my gynae to call after reviewing the results but she's probably going to tell me to just keep trying....

SydBound27 · 22/08/2017 12:40

Oh god @Pennny and @Nissi, I've just bought some seven seas and was planning to use it this cycle! I'm already on 43 day cycles so really don't need to lengthen it any further.. in the bin it will go..

Sorry @Holzyb, but I love your enthusiasm for us all next month. BRING IT ON

holzyb20 · 22/08/2017 11:24

AF arrived for me full force this morning I'm marking my place here for next cycle where we will all get our BFP's!!!!

Nissi7 · 22/08/2017 10:23

@Penny31 im sure seven seas have made my cycle longer i used to have 33 days cycle now im going into 40 plus. I have taken 2 months worth and i think im gonna stop taking them after this cycle. X

UppityStitch · 22/08/2017 09:43

Saying that I had no EWCM this month so I have no idea if or when I ovulated. I did have some last week although I think I read somewhere you can possibly have it again after ovulation Confused

Chooklass · 22/08/2017 09:24

@UppityStitch I've seen it mentioned a few times online - no idea if any real evidence. I've been taking it this month too and ov was 2 days later than normal. Maybe coincidence though!

UppityStitch · 22/08/2017 09:08

Morning All

Sorry to all those who have been visited by the Witch already.

Nothing for me yet, not even spotting which should be here considering she's due tomorrow. I was hoping she'll be on time so the bulk of it would be out the way by a wedding and trip to Paris I have planned for this weekend.

Argh @Chooklass Angry. I had no idea about Pregnacare lengthening cycles, as that might be the case for me. Does that mean ovulation would move as well as that would completely mess things up? Now I have something else to google Confused

Chooklass · 22/08/2017 08:09

Aw @Penny31 - sorry your cycle is being a bugger this month after all the uncertainty you've had! Not sure about seven seas but I've heard pregnacare can lengthen cycles.

Still awaiting AF here but cramps suggest she's looming! Based on last few months I'm expecting her today, though app I'm using says Thurs. Just want to get on with next cycle now!

Penny31 · 22/08/2017 06:15

Can the seven seas trying for a baby vitamins mess with your cycle I wonder?

murree · 21/08/2017 20:31

Penny Mines the same, very light compared to normal. All this cycle watching is so confusing Confused
Holzyb sorry to to hear AF is arriving Sad

intelligentPutty · 21/08/2017 19:10

Hi @holzyb20
Thanks for the positive vibes. Definitely af has arrived now. I wasted that test as she came about 9 this morning.
I have to get up at 5:15 for work every day hence such an early post!!
Hope she stays away for you. Seen u posted this evening.

Penny31 · 21/08/2017 18:23

My af is usually super heavy but it's the lightest one I've ever had this time. I can't believe the confusion I've had over the last week. Just want everything back to normal. Angry

holzyb20 · 21/08/2017 17:05

I think I'm out 😣 I have some very light spotting no cramps or anything but I don't think this is a good sign!

murree · 21/08/2017 16:47

Hi ladies, very much up for sharing the journey next month. I'll be testing around the 13th!

Chooklass · 21/08/2017 15:16

And welcome back @Grumpy and @Betsy!

Chooklass · 21/08/2017 15:15

Should we stay on this thread or make a new one for sept testing? X

TheGrumpySquirrel · 21/08/2017 15:10

Hey guys not checked in in a while. I'll be testing 9th sep. FW just starting again for me in a couple of days time. Flying home from holiday CD15 so hope to have ovulated by then!
