I can't seem to see a thread for this so thought I'd start one. Any other girls with cycles shorter than 28 days please join and let's discuss! Mine fluctuates from 24 to 26 days, I usually ovulate day 10 on a 24 day cycle and yet to track when I ov on a 26 cycle but I would imagine it's day 12. I have a normal LP of 14 days but would love to have a longer follicular phase. 8 months of trying. I'm 34, husband is 37.

@MrsTtobe that’s really encouraging. Thanks for the positivity. All the best of luck xxxx

@notyetamumbuttrying @Annabel19 thank you ladies. I conceived my daughter with short cycles too, she's 3 in March. She was also conceived last day of my period, cd 5.
My cycles were 26 days max but my shortest was 19/20. I did look into it and took vit b complex and i conceived the first month and it did lengthen my cycle by a couple of days. Sadly that ended in miscarriage though.
Wishing you all the best. Xx

@MrsTtobe That’s absolutely great news. Sounds like you’ve had a difficult time as well though earlier on. So glad you’ve got good news now xxxx @lulufireray fingers crossed that short cycles aren’t so bad. The waiting is so hard though!!

@MrsTtobe that early? That's amazing!! I don't know why they say early ov is so bad?! All the immature eggs talk and that they're hard to fertilise, well clearly not! Massive congratulations 🥳 a girl is what I'd like given the choice. I just need to get my Dh's sperm up to par now! His SA was abysmal but at least we have answers now and a way forward. Will be getting a repeat SA in a matter of weeks hopefully 🙏🏾

Hi @Annabel19 I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks back in April but... I'm now almost 27 weeks pregnant with a little girl. I literally conceived on day cd 5 so just keep trying. Wishing you lots of luck ❤

@lulufireray sorry to hear darlin, hope you're doing ok x
@Annabel19 I'm ok thanks, how are you? Hope the tests go well x

@lulufireray I’m really sorry to hear that. Hope you are doing ok. No luck here either .. we’ve been trying a year now, had one chemical in May and nothing else. Cycles are varying from 22-26 days. I’ve had initial blood tests and booked in for pelvic scan. Fingered crossed for you xxx

lulufireray · 08/11/2020 14:49

@Annabel19 I miscarried in august :( had a chemical first cycle after and no luck since. Hope you're having better luck x

Annabel19 · 08/11/2020 14:43

Hi all :)- Just wondered if anyone is still on here and if so, how everyone is getting on. Would love to hear from you all @notyetamumbuttrying @MrsTtobe @Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear @slimshadyscousin @LuluFireray fingers crossed xxx

I know exactly how you feel @Nat4392 think I've been calmer this month as well and trying to ignore my obvious pms!

OP posts:
Nat4392 · 08/06/2020 13:28

Well I have “symptoms” but I’m now getting used to ignoring them as clearly they’ve always been pms and not pg. I’ve reallyyy tried to ignore it this month and I do feel more relaxed about it. Accepting AF is on her way tends to help when she actually does show. Last month I had a full on meltdown and I don’t want to do that again!

Good idea! @Nat4392 best of luck! I always have symptoms but it's always pms so I can't read in to mine. Optimistic for Thursday anyway. Just excited for this week really as so many ppl are testing/due on.

OP posts:
Nat4392 · 08/06/2020 12:10

Feeling alright. Absolutely no symptoms and just don’t “feel” any different so not getting my hopes up this month.
I won’t test at all unless AF is late. She’s due tomorrow but last month she kept me waiting all day and didn’t show til 5pm which was a bummer, I’d rather just wake up and come on! I’ll test Wednesday if she’s not shown up by then.
How are you feeling? Any symptoms? X

How you feeling today @Nat4392? Still testing tomorrow?
Did you test again @slimshadyscousin?
Hope everyone's well today! I'm testing on Thursday 😬

Yeah think that's why I was so hurt by the lie @Nat4392 but I do get why she did it.
Aw DH sounds like a sweetie! Mine now gets as crushed as me when I tell him someone else is pregnant lol! He was better this cycle in fw, we actually did it more than ever so hoping more sex makes the difference!
Bigger boobs are the one aren't they lol! I'm not due until next Friday but gonna test on Thursday cos I'm impatient as fuck 😝 hope your AF doesn't show on Tuesday 🤞🏾

OP posts:
Nat4392 · 04/06/2020 21:22

@notyetamumbuttrying wow that’s annoying. I understand most people (myself included) don’t tell everyone until 12 weeks but pretending to relate to the pains of TTC just takes the piss.
I had a good cry before when DH could tell I wasn’t myself. I think it’s actually given him more motivation to try more as it’s his best friends wife that’s pregnant and he’s always said he’d like to do daddy play dates bless him 🙈
AF due Tuesday so we’ll see. Usually by now I have really sore big boobs but they’re no different this month which is unusual. Not going to complain, although bigger boobs are always good 😂

Aww @Nat4392 that was me on sat! It was even more crushing as she played along when I told her how much I was hating ttc. She made out as if she was trying too but it turns out she was already pregnant! I know ppl hide it until 12 weeks but was still shocked she didn't confide in me considering all I was saying to her and the fact we've been friends 16 years! Ah well. I know how you feel nat, it passes. You'll be alright in a few days. I cried too but the next day as she decided to call me right before I was meeting my family for the first time since feb so kept it together for them! Obviously she wasn't meant to know that tho.

Nat4392 · 04/06/2020 14:38

How’s everyone doing?
I’m so fed up today after hearing yet another pregnancy announcement from someone we know. I’m happy for them but my immediate reaction was to be pissed off and just cry!

Nat4392 · 01/06/2020 07:03

So it turns out that I really like pineapple 😂 think I’ll make this a regular thing lol

@slimshadyscousin have you retested?

slimshadyscousin · 30/05/2020 10:39

Yep can see a squinter @slimshadyscousin
Good going on all the pineapple @Nat4392 I'm gonna get some chunks for my picnic today. Have good weekends all!

slimshadyscousin · 30/05/2020 09:44

@Nat4392 thank you! Good luck with your pineapple 😂 fingers crossed it has worked for me

Nat4392 · 30/05/2020 09:29

I can definitely see something on that bottom test, try another in 2 days (if you can wait that long!) fingers crossed for you lovely!! X

slimshadyscousin · 30/05/2020 09:25

Took a test this morning at 10DPO and I have a proper squinter! Test above is BFN from 9DPO. What do you all think?

I’ve just done my shop and bought a pineapple and pineapple juice. Not a huge fan of them but we’ll see if it works!
