Oh, and I'm on cd47 now. I've had 90 day cycles before, so who knows.

aph413 and thisis - odd indeed. Still some brown discharge this morning with some darker pinky-brown. Though, I checked back through my old app and realised it did this for about 6 weeks in 2014, and it was that which prompted my visit and subsequent endo diagnosis, so I'm thinking it has something to do with my chocolate cyst leaking or something. I hope it doesn't last as long as last time - it made sex pretty miserable...

Aph413 · 27/05/2018 12:05

Sorry to hear that thisis at least 42 days for your cycle isn't too drastically long and you know you ovulated. Are you going to try anything new this cycle?
FlapJackered I get embarrassingly angry at people who just manage to 'fall' pregnant at the drop of a hat. It's our turn now.
Only 2 days until I go home now. Ovusense hasn't picked up ovulation yet so I haven't mamaged to halve my cycle yet.
But back to the gym on tuesday, lose a fuck ton bit of weight which supposedly inositol will help with. See how I get on then. If nothing else I can be thin and miserable rather than fat and miserable.

Sorry to hear that @thisisouryrfx18 - it is so hard this ttc business.

I am not sure what is going on with me. Temperature is still all over the place, so no idea when or if I have ovulated.
I think I am just going to test on Friday and Dtd every other night until af shows up or my temp sorts itself out.

My DHs colleague just got pregnant on a one night stand, how does that even happen!!!

How are you getting on thisis?
That sounds frustrating flyingplum what day are you on now?

flyingplum · 26/05/2018 17:49

Fingers crossed for you @thisisouryrfx18! I have no idea what is going on. Thought I had some EWCM yesterday, so was all excited for other half getting his butt up here last night. Then had some sexytime this morning, and thought things looked a bit yellow/brown when i went to clean up. Then i deffo had some pink when i wiped before we went out. Thought maybe AF finally showing up, put a pad on, but only a little bit of spotting, so who knows what's going on, where i am in my cycle, or what.

Stupid body.

I know but temps usually dip a day before af dnt they? And afs due roughly fri..just send them out for a meal say its ur treat and get sum alone time lol

OP posts:
Aph413 · 23/05/2018 14:31

Your temps are still above your cover line though thisis so fingers crossed for you.
Huge temperature drop this morning. Honestly wondering if its an ovulation dip because I've had 3 days of ewcm too. If so it'll be amazing because I'll have brought my cycle down from 60 to 30 days! I'll take a 30 day cycle even without a bfp!
Currently away with parents in a caravan so no dtd at all for us this week. Plus my opks are at home, so fingers crossed this is a nice short cycle bfp or not

Will keep my fx'd for you. When do you reckon you will test?

thisisouryrfx18 · 22/05/2018 19:30

Yh fx means u can test in less than a wk lol im pinning all of my hopes on this cycle! Hope its not another disappointment i dnt know if i can take it again!

OP posts:
FlapJackered · 22/05/2018 19:26

41 days isn't too bad is it, almost an acceptable length!
I am on cd25 now so if I have ov'd it should be 34 days which would be a huge improvement on my last few cycles!

thisisouryrfx18 · 22/05/2018 19:11

@FlapJackered so what cd are u on atm? Im cd38 think if ovulation is anything to go by my cycle will b about 41days

OP posts:
FlapJackered · 22/05/2018 18:52

Good tip - I temp orally atm, but maybe next cycle I will switch to vaginally.
I think I will just treat this cycle as if I haven't Ov'd and just DTD every other day. I will just keep my fx for this cycle to not be a long monster!...unless of course it turns into a pregnancy!

@FlapJackered thats alrite hun i would honestly go with the opk cause theyr meant to b 99% accurate are they not? Since its pickin up hormones i think its more accurate than temping and if uve not been sleeping gd ur temps will b all over the place. Do u temp vaginally i found mine were much more stable when i started then vaginally.

OP posts:
FlapJackered · 22/05/2018 12:12

Thanks for trying! It hasn't worked out when I ov'd yet but opk was peak on the first red day of temping. (I entered the positive opk into the app which is what made it red) but temping still hasn't picked up ovulation as temps are still below the cover line.
I haven't been sleeping well so maybe that has messed up the temps a bit.
It's just frustrating not knowing if I have ov'd or if it is still coming! Also it would probably mean a much shorter cycle if I did after the positive opk.

thisisouryrfx18 · 22/05/2018 11:47

Im used to ff cant figure it out lol sorry does it not highlight when it thinks u ovulate? I would say go with the opk temping is not always accurate do u temp at the same time everyday after at least 4hrs sleep?

OP posts:
FlapJackered · 22/05/2018 11:35

Ah not sure what happened there!
Try again...
