Morning everyone:) its cd12 for me and I think I will be having delayed ovulation this month as nowhere near a such ewcm as I usually have - basically have had none! And Opks are low. So we will just see - hopefully bot too delayed haha!

@scrumdiddly123 that does sound promising! Think its sensible to be cautiously pessimistic about symptoms because we all have something every month that we think oooh is that pregnancy haha!

@Annny27 the glue rubbery stuff I usually class as sticky and its about to be ewcm. I wish my app had a "nearly ewcm" option haha

@SunnySideUp2020 sorry that AF arrived for you :( let's hope cycle 7 is the month for us!!!! Thinking of you and your grandma 💗

@fizzl what was the scan supposed to be for?

@ELM7 RHR increase is promising as well :) and not too long until you could test either! Good luck

@Ljm0101 2 AFs every month must be exhausting! But yes, some peoples bodies take longer than others to "settle" which is frustrating

@Nuggetlover27 yep cheap opks are the way forward! I use the femometer or one step ones from amazon

Evening ladies, sorry I haven't posted in a while I've sort of been in and out in the back ground due to being extremely busy with work but also having the battle with my body of 2 af's every month. I know it's probably my body resetting but it's extremely frustrating. @Ejb86 I am so happy to see you're BFP what wonderful news. I've been trying to go through the threads to see how everyone else is doing. I hope you're all well and have been enjoying the sunshine. I'm on 3 week count down to the summer holidays now. Xx

Morning, 8dpo for me. I’ve had lots of creamy cm all of this week and today when I’ve wiped it’s clear with a tiny tinge of pink? Almost like fertile CM which is weird! Also I’m so bloated this morning which I don’t normally notice this early on. Probably nothing to get excited about but have taken note!

Nuggetlover27 · 27/06/2020 10:48

@Annny27 Yepp AF finally arrived for me yesterday after a 43/44 day cycle. Glad I can move on to the next cycle at last. Hoping this is the one! Hope you get your ov soon!

I've been researching "fertile foods" for my next cycle and plan to have "fertility smoothies" for me and DH each morning hoping it will help things along! Also going to get some cheapy OPKs and do twice a day and just keep going until it says peek seeing as I can't predict my cycles anymore 😂

@SunnySideUp2020 sorry AF arrived for you. Glad to hear you made it safe and your Grandma is stable 🤞🏻 she feels better soon. No doubt she will love having all her family around her

@Fizzl I love that your husband is still sceptical even though it seems to have worked 😂😂 it's a man thing! Haha

ELM7 · 27/06/2020 10:00

Good Morning Ladies.

@SunnySideUp2020 glad you arrived safely but sorry AF has arrived too. Really hope your Grandma gets better but sure she is loving seeing you.

@Fizzl glad your uterus is now not confused. Let’s hope a reset will then bring your BFP next cycle.

9dpo here and am sure AF will be here in the next few days. Just don’t feel this is our cycle. Only glimmer of hope is that RHR has gone up this morning. So will see if that continues to rise or drops again just before AFs arrival. Determined not to test until 1st July if AF hasn’t made an appearance before then.

Fizzl · 27/06/2020 09:35

@Leok83 I did say quite smugly to my husband that it was clearly the acupuncture that worked and his replay was 'or it's just coincidence' 😂 think he's still sceptical but more happy with me splashing out £90 a month, even if it's just the placebo effect. I'm definitely going to keep it up now. I feel I'm a complete convert after only 2 sessions. Wonder if he'll be convinced when/if I get a BFP 🤔

Good luck with bding this month. I know what it's like to be ships in the night sometimes and it becomes very practical and unromantic when you have to schedule in a quick 15mins as it's literally the only time you have 😂 so long as it gets the job done 🤷🏼‍♀️

Fizzl · 27/06/2020 09:24

Haha thanks everyone. Uterus successfully unconfused! Had a nice temp rise this morning, peak opk on Thursday and an epic breakout on my skin (which for once I don't mind 😂)- hooray for ovulation 🤗

Expecting AF in 10 days now.

Still debating what to do about my scan I've got booked on Monday. My husband thinks I should just cancel now. I think maybe still go just to check everything in there for extra reassurances it was just a random blip?

Have a lovely weekend everyone 😁

@SunnySideUp2020 glad you made it safely. Sorry AF arrived 😞 hopefully being with your family will be a distraction for you this cycle. Sorry it's not under the best circumstances tho. Sending your grandma all the best wishes 💐

SunnySideUp2020 · 27/06/2020 08:07

Hello ladies
Didnt have time to read everything but

@Fizzl defo a congrats on your uterus unconfusing itself is in order!!!!!

And ofc @Ejb86 on this nice fat bdp ❤🌈
Well done girl! Wish you a smooth healthy pregnancy xx

AF started today for me.
Lots of cramps... but arrived yesterday afternoon after 2600 km driving.
And already soooo busy with the family.
Grandma is stable for now and we hope that seeing us will help her find strength to get better.
Thank you for all the kind words 😘😘😘

scrumdiddly123 · 26/06/2020 23:15

I’ve just found the pregnancy thread and it’s so nice to see how all the graduate ladies are doing! Serves as a nice reminder that you were all in the same boat as us but how you’re having healthy pregnancies 🥰 And soon enough we all will be too!
7dpo and my boobs feel a tiny bit sore and tingly this evening. Trying really hard not to symptom spot as I convinced myself last month I was definitely pregnant when I clearly wasn’t 😳 it’s so hard not too though!
@Fizzl I was genuinely thrilled to see your positive opk 🤣 I love how caring we all are on here 🥰
How are you @ELM7, any symptoms?
Fingers crossed for OV soon @Annny27! These cycles just seem to fly by! Same for you @Leok83 but not ideal with your OHs work! Hope you can still manage to fit in plenty of DTD!

Leok83 · 26/06/2020 22:12

@MilsCookie thank you!! Great to see you guys are doing well too @TerribleImagination and @Whiffle77!xx

@Fizzl ya I get that, will be like a clean reset and hopefully onto a normal cycle next. I bet you DH is less sceptical of the accupuncture now😄

@Annny27 OPKs still stark white but I think I have EWCM, even though had none the last 2 cycles. Except it's more like a glob of glue (sorry TMI) than the semi watery stretchy stuff I've had other cycles so don't know what to classify it as!! Have started them twice a day now to be on the safe side! Bad timing for fertile week though as DH working nights for the next few days and I'm on call so we're like ships in the night and so we've to make sure we schedule in DTD at odd times for us..not the most spontaneous!!

Annny27 · 26/06/2020 11:29

Morning ladies :) cd10 I think for me - I will start the opks twice a day now. Have had a minuscule amount of ewcm so a fair bit away from ovulation still.

@fizzl we are all very invested in your long cycle haha! Yep we are all rooting for one another 💗💗

@SunnySideUp2020 how did the travelling go lovely? Hope AF has stayed away as well

@Ejb86 thats just amazing:D enjoy every minute and we will be silently following your journey on the graduates thread. Same with @TerribleImagination @MilsCookie @Whiffle77 and all the others before us :D

@nuggetlover27 did your AF arrive?

@leok83 any sign of opks darkeningnyet?

Fingers crossed for the tww girls @ELM7 @scrumdiddly123 xx

OP posts:
TerribleImagination · 25/06/2020 20:16

Yeah I get that @Fizzl, but it sounds like a good call giving it a normal cycle to settle and then going for it!

I’m good thanks lovey! 12 weeks tomorrow and got my dating scan on Monday! So looking forward to and crossing fingers for that! ❤️

Whiffle77 · 25/06/2020 19:27

I think you are doing the right thing too @fizzl though I completely understand how hard it will be!! After such a long cycle it will no doubt do your body good to reset, and hopefully have a normal cycle next month! Plus a few more weeks of not stressing about symptoms etc can only be good.

I'm fine thank you, made it to 17 weeks and feeling ok! Tired but then I'm always tired! Just wishing time away really Smile

Fizzl · 25/06/2020 19:20

Ah thanks everyone 😊 I love how invested you all are in my body ovulating 😂 we really do root for each other here don't we!

My opk's have continued to get darker this afternoon I have a reading of 1.53!

@Leok83 I'm a little torn about it all as I kind of feel like we're missing an opportunity now this month but the other half of me knows it's not worth the worry. My husband thinks we're doing the right thing waiting (probably because he knows I overthink everything and he can't be doing with me whittling and stressing 😂). But it's frustrating to know I've got a whole month to wait again now (hopefully!) before fw comes round again 🤔

@MilsCookie Glad to hear you're doing well! How are you both doing @Whiffle77 and @TerribleImagination?

Whiffle77 · 25/06/2020 17:38

Oh @fizzl I am really so pleased to read this!! Very happy for you. I am really missing my acupuncture, my lady hasn't started back up yet. I'm sure it helped! Hope your period arrives and good luck for trying next month 🤞🤞💞

Hope everyone else is keeping ok xxx

MilsCookie · 25/06/2020 14:31

@Leok83 thanks lovely 💜 I really hope you are all joining us over there soon too! We've been on this journey together since our MCs and I can't wait to see you all get your BFPs! Fingers crossed for you this cycle 🤞🏻😘 xxx

@SunnySideUp2020 sorry to hear about your grandma 😔 I lost my grandma 7 years ago and she was like a second mum to me. At least you're managing to get over there to be with her. Thinking of you 😘 xxx

Leok83 · 25/06/2020 13:16

@Fizzl yaaaay!!!🎉🎉 This is a great day with a BFP and your ovulation! Tough I’d say tho not acting on it but delighted you are out of limbo!

@Annny27 yup started the opk yesterday so but earlier than normal but with CM change thought I don’t want to miss it! How about you?

@MilsCookie aw I’m delighted to hear you are doing well and good to be getting lots of scans to know what’s happening. I’m good thanks, just found the follow up pregnancy thread there so nice to see how you are all doing..fingers crossed well all be joining you over there soon!

Nuggetlover27 · 25/06/2020 11:20

Yay @Fizzl that's such good news 😃 I bet you're so glad that you're getting back to normal now

ELM7 · 25/06/2020 10:49

@Ejb86 Yay congratulations that’s so lovely to come on and see this morning.

Dipsy77 · 25/06/2020 10:43

@Ejb86 congratulations that's brilliant news xx

TerribleImagination · 25/06/2020 10:32

Woohooo @Fizzl bloody brilliant news on the OPK!! That’s amazing! 😍

MilsCookie · 25/06/2020 10:05

Woohoooooo congratulations @ejb86!! This is fantastic news!! So so happy for you lovely 😃😃😃 xxx

And @Fizzl you must be so relieved to finally see that opk! Over the moon for you too! 🤩

@Leok83 sorry for the late reply, I'm doing well thank you, had my first consultant appointment yesterday and saw the babies wriggling around again which was lovely! There are a few things that could cause problems but the consultant didn't seem worried and reassured me. Just got to have lots of scans to check how they're doing. So still a very very long road ahead but going to try and stay positive!! How are you? Xx

Fizzl · 25/06/2020 09:51

And my inner control freak wants everything to be as 'perfect' as possible for conception and a 70+ day cycle just doesn't seem to fit 😒 but I'm feeling hopeful for next month now 🤞

Fizzl · 25/06/2020 09:46

@Annny27 definitely with you! CD63 for me 😱 so if my lp stays at 10days I'm a probably going to make it to at least CD74 before af arrives. Which is just crazy unheard of for me.
