Yes I wasn't sure how long to calculus last cycle as apparently you can't ovulate until all the HGC has left your symptoms it took 10 days after my surgery for my to get a negative so I go from day off negative test to AF it's a usual Cycle 29 days but not sure how to work it from day of surgery or my negative test! I've secretly ordered some OPKs and going try one today just to check what's happening with them. I'm fed up tbh Im half hoping for AF just to reset but also taking a lot of vitamins don't know if that changes it.

Aww so happy for you, hope it goes well keep us updated! 🥰@Belle2008

Twitwooo oh sounds promising!! Fx for you. That's what I always do start off with the cheap ones I had a shadow for days before i thought they were evaps but tgey must have been a very very faint positive.
I'm guessing I'm around 5 weeks now as I had faint positives on CD 21 xx

Twitwooo · 11/12/2018 10:07

@OctoberGirl91 fx for you. I think we always try to tell ourselves to keep expectations low which is a sensible idea but very difficult to implement!

As for my symptoms, @Belle2008 , physically my lower back aches like I've been on my feet for 6 hours even though I am just parked on the sofa. It feels quite stiff when I change postures. Went poop scooping in the garden today and it felt like it was going to seize up from slightly bending down repeatedly!
I strangely feel my round ligaments struggling too, that pain is mostly when I stand up from sitting down - but also comes and goes in these short episodes of what feels like... cramping, throughout the day.
I keep feeling like I need to wee a lot but when I actually go there's not a lot coming out. I had this my first too so not sure if that's my brain or my body doing that.
I have strangely gone off bread (loaf). I live on sandwiches so that's not great! I have found a new love for seeded buns though. Had 5 yesterday Blush. Any other symptom is not worth mentioning I think as I think it's more my brain than anything else.

I haven't tested yet just because my period is still a way away even though technically I should be able to see something soon. Maybe I will start with my cheapies tomorrow just in case something will show!

Belle2008 · 11/12/2018 10:00

Oh ok October didn't realise it was that long last time did you do any more opk's after your positive one you got? Hope this is your month!!

I did last night he was so happy but it's very early days! Got a doctors appointment next Tuesday so can sort out midwife then. Xx

Fx for you @Twitwooo I've got a soreness to side of left boob and had lower bloating where my c section is yesterday and today odd twinge. But I feel like sometimes I make it happen haha which is stupid!

I don't want to get my hopes up as it's Abnormal cycle just not feeling positive almost ready to refresh xx

Yes it is, last period started on 9th November didn't get a positive OPK till last Monday and it stayed for nearly 48 hours the surge! I had steroids and anti biotics this month for chest infection and also I'm only 9 weeks post surgery for my MC so guess my body is finding its Rhythm again. I'm CD31 today last month from day of ERPC to AF was 38 days so could be similar to that!

Did you tell your partner @Belle2008 ?xx

Belle2008 · 11/12/2018 09:55

Twitwooo oh what symptoms do you have? Have u done any tests yet x

Ah sorry to hear about af mrsj hope you get your bfp this cycle xx

Twitwooo · 11/12/2018 09:54

@OctoberGirl91 I have to say I haven't really noticed that I do but it would seem so! Unless I am way off. I have never used OPKs so it's all off cm and how I'm feeling in myself. I think my cycles, though same length as they were before I had my first (27 days) have changed slightly. Or maybe it's the fact that I'm still breastfeeding twice a day. Who knows!

I'm trying not to symptom spot, especially since I've had a cold for over a week, but the twinges and strain I am feeling in my lower back / front are hard to ignore. I could say I am possible psychologically responsible for anything else mood / food related, but I would be very surprised if I am imagining the feeling in my lower areas!

Belle2008 · 11/12/2018 09:54

October when was your last af I'm sure it was the same time as mine? Seems a very long cycle xx

Days passing by very slowly. Af due on 20th and I think I'm about 9/10 dpo today .... I have to say I feel pregnant. Can't wait to find out if that's true or not

MrsJ88 · 10/12/2018 23:51

@octobergirl91 this cycle was 28 days my cycle length is usually 26-28 days. Last month maybe I was stressed as it was 31 days! I’m going to try dtd every other day this month. I didn’t feel to confident to be fair as hubby wasn’t home but he is now and I’ll defiantly be on it more. I hope AF doesn’t arrive for you!! Fx’d xxx

@thejollytrolleydolly It was an ASDA cheap one at 12DPO then a FRER with FMU on 13DPO just looked through my photos to check.

Urine after 45 minutes is invalid anyways I read from somewhere you would have to keep it at a certain temperature so I would always try stock with FMU although I know how hard it can be.

This was my last result at 12DPO and 13DPO xx

Aww @Belle2008 let us know how it goes! I bet you can't wait!!!

@OctoberGirl91 when you got your BFP at 12dpo was that with a frer? I caved today and used one with some pee I saved from this morning and another bfn. I had high hopes too!

I guess I'll just see if af comes and if not I'll use the other one 👎🏼😤

Yes @Funnybunnyfluff my first AF was 9th November for 4ish days and I'm currently on CD 31, with my last cycle if you count day of ERPC it was 36 day cycle. Pre MC mostly 31 days at most but I had a coil and first month I was caught my coil had only just come out 3 weeks before.

I only had a Positive OPK Last Monday/Tuesday with those cheap ones! Not testing till next week.

If AF arrives I'm going stick to CB.

Aww exciting @Belle2008 you've done really well to keep it a secret! Have you done anymore tests? I get addicted even when I am pregnant xx

OP posts:
Funnybunnyfluff · 10/12/2018 16:08

@OctoberGirl91

Since October 4th you have had only 1 AF? Apart from the bleed after The Op we had one day apart?

I have had 2 AF and now on CD13 heading towards the 3rd AF. Are your cycles really long? Have you tested to check?

Belle2008 · 10/12/2018 15:47

How many days will this cycle be then October?

Any sign of af yet Mrs j

Fingers crossed you get your bfp jolly

Xx

Belle2008 · 10/12/2018 15:46

No going to tell him tonight now as I'm a day late for af now eek xx

thejollytrolleydolly · 10/12/2018 13:18

@OctoberGirl91 you're in the same boat as me then, I've had tender boobs from 2dpo this month which is so bizarre as I usually don't get them until at the most 7days pre af but they just seem to ache when I go to bed and when I wake up. Yes massive fx for all of the remaining runners! I think I will be a bit disheartened this month if it doesn't happen because for once we did everything right 😂😂

God I hate waiting!!

OctoberGirl91 · 10/12/2018 09:54

Aww good @Belle2008 have you told your partner now? You getting excited?

@thejollytrolleydolly I didn't get my positive till 12DPO with my pregnancy although I think I ovulated later. I'm 4DPO today and don't really have any symptoms light tender boobs but I'm not looking into anything I'm going test next Tuesday as that will 2 days before AF is due! I will be gutted if the witch does arrive!

Aww that's lovely Jolly! Let's keep our Fx xx

Hello, another bfn with the ic this morn. I have some frers coming in the post today so I'll probably try one tomorrow. I will be 11dpo then. Af due on Sunday! Would really like to know before the weekend as I have dental treatment, a Christmas party and a concert all this week so I want to know if I can drink (and X-ray) or not! Any news from anyone else?

I would love to let my mum know she's an gran again for Christmas 😍
