78th day of no period....

As the title suggests, I haven't had a period since the 18th October. I came off cerazette at the start of June and have had irregular cycles since but this is by far the longest.

DH and I are TTC and I last took a pregnancy test at the start of December so I'm fairly confident I'm not pregnant (we were both sick after that and didn't have any inclination to DTD).

We finally DTD on 26th and 27th December and yesterday I had really sore breasts and some cramps and EWCM in the morning for the first time in a long time, but we only managed to DTD late last night. Im mildly cramping this morning and have watery CM. These long cycles are so confusing! Is there a chance we might've caught ovulation this month? How long should I wait before testing?

Next week will be 62 days since I stopped taking the pill. Something must happen soon.....

Half beginning to wonde if premature menopause hit me whilst being hidden by taking the pills. Please tell me other people are getting the same delay!

@Karigan1 - snap! I had to YouTube how to check as I hadn't a clue what I was rummaging around in there for! Grin

@Spadesofglory Were you originally going due to ovulation or something else? If it was ovulation only I wouldn't worry about it as now your ovaries have waved a white flag and gone "Don't worry, we're still here!" Grin

SpadesOfGlory · 14/01/2018 14:11

That was an 89 day cycle for me. Wow Blush

Should I keep my doctors appointment anyway or cancel? It's not till 2nd Feb.

So AF paid me a visit this morning! I'm not even disappointed this time, I'm just relieved my body seems to be working again.

On to another month! I'm going to start taking Agnus Castus and see what happens.

Same here. Nothing happening. Tested but BFN. This not knowing is so awful!!!

I’ve decided to give cervix monitoring a try as coming off the pill is screwing up my body so badly that I’m not going to be able to tell when fw is without spending a fortune on sticks or this!

jellybeans81 · 14/01/2018 11:17

CD 64.... nothing here! Did a FRER this morning.... looked like an indent line I could see. Will test in a few days but not holding out much hope Sad

LifeOfRiley63 · 14/01/2018 11:11

CD86 and still nothing here either!

hungryradish · 13/01/2018 20:34

CD65 the cramps have pretty much stopped! Every now & again they start again for a bit. Nothing else to report - over and out.

Karigan1 · 12/01/2018 18:28

No just joking. I had to buy a cheapy in the end as all the good ones had sold out! Seems there were a lot of ooopsies over New Years ;)

LifeOfRiley63 · 12/01/2018 18:17

Haha @Karigan! Anywhere near Yorkshire? Wink

purpleRH · 12/01/2018 17:53

Congratulations mrsw200!! Smile

Karigan1 · 12/01/2018 17:21

Oh it was you was it ;). Went to buy one and they had sold out lol.

LifeOfRiley63 · 12/01/2018 17:02

Well, lucky for me Boots have a 3 for 2 deal on... Grin

78th day of no period....
jellybeans81 · 12/01/2018 16:38

How exciting for you @Mrsw200. Remember to keep us updated on how you get on next week. I've a FRER at home.... I might give it a try over the next few days x

Mrsw200 · 12/01/2018 16:19

It's just the fact that the tests were negatives up until last week. So that just makes me think I can only be 4/5 weeks. But then little things in November and December make me think maybe? And maybe lines I thought were very very faint, maybe were? I remember in mid November nearly gagging when I fed our dog because of the smell of the canned food. Sounds ridiculous I know but little things like that. I guess I'll know in a week or so! My partner is however convinced I've been pregnant the whole time!! Haha!!!

LifeOfRiley63 · 12/01/2018 15:33

Thank you for letting me pick your brains. Do you feel 11 weeks pregnant or do you think it's likely to be a bit less? x

Mrsw200 · 12/01/2018 15:31

Sorry I meant to put cervix high in the last few weeks xx

Mrsw200 · 12/01/2018 15:29

@LifeOfRiley63 when it first started it was hard to notice, only when I was getting dressed, best way to describe is it felt like very mild bruising, so wasn't there all the time, in the last week it got slightly worse but it's not constantly there and it's definitely not agony. The cm, just "wet" really l, again nothing significant at all. I had imagined more symptoms in previous months!!! My cervix was quite high over last few months and although I know this shouldn't be used as a reliable indicator, it was the first time in 8 months it had stayed higher up for so long. I've had a lot of dreams lately too, but again I had put that down to ttc constantly being on my mind. Xx

Woodchuck9 · 12/01/2018 14:34

I had a very similar situation I was on Microgynon 30 and change over to the patch in 2016 and in the June 2016 stopped the patch and I got to cd 132 till my first real AF came :( it was so frustrating, I know what it's like, however in the late November 2016 I started the pill again as we had a massive move. May 2017 I stopped the pill again and my cycles regulated straight away. 8th cycle TTC

LifeOfRiley63 · 12/01/2018 14:33

@MrsW200 You are a beam of light in our dark journeys GlitterballGrin
I am 100% off to buy some FRERs this weekend.
Did you have constant boob-ache or were there gaps in it? I don't mean to be gross but have you been tracking your CM? What is it like these days? Sorry for the questions, I think I'm secretly just wishing I was preggo and had BFNs too lol!

hungryradish · 12/01/2018 14:23

Aww that's so crazy Mrsw! You must be so excited for your scan! Congratulations again xx

Mrsw200 · 12/01/2018 14:14

@SpadesOfGlory I put on this thread earlier on about googling stories of bfps after 60+ days. At the time I thought how ridiculous it was but now I guess there is truth in it. Please hold on to that hope when you start to get down about it. I felt miserable and really started to accept that after 8 months it was going to be a very long journey for us. Love to you all, will keep on eye on this thread xxxx ❤️❤️❤️

SpadesOfGlory · 12/01/2018 14:05

I am just so delighted for you Mrsw! You really do give us all hope. Smile all the best for a healthy and happy pregnancy xx

I was using the cheap ones from wilkos before Xmas and I think had probably used a frer at some point during November. To be honest I was so used to seeing negatives and because so obsessed with testing I couldn't afford frers!! Then early January when I wrote on this thread I'd bought a digital one and frer as a last hope before booking a gp appointment - digi was negative. I thought I was imagining things and maybe saw very very faint lines on these cheaper strips before Xmas. It was the frer I used last Sunday which had the more obvious line. What I don't get it that I've had no real ovulation symptoms in December. I had some spotting when I should have ovulated in November so I do think there is a chance I could be further along than 5 weeks (which is what my head is telling me after all the negative early one). I just think it shows that either it can be weeks before you get a positive, or you can ovulate when you least expect it on a very long cycle. Xxxx

My word congratulations!
