Long Cycle girls TTC #2

I just had this on a FRER....i’m freaking out!!!!!!! Do i trust it??? I literally had my bloods done 2 weeks ago surely they’d have picked it up on there?????!!!!!

I've managed to get a blood test booked for tomorrow at hospital for day 3 hormone tests so 🤞 I'm guessing I'll have to tell them what it's for as all I've had is a text asking me to book a hormone blood test 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hey @newbie0818 good to see you back, how are you? I was on CD51 until.today when I've had some spotting whilst wiping so looks like AF could finally be here. Going to attempt to get booked in for bloods asap as I think this was an anovulatory cycle too

@Elsie2021welcome! I came off the pill last June and was having cycles of around 42 days .. then last cycle was 32 days and I got excited. This cycle has been 51 days and don't think I ovulated so hoping that the spotting today was AF starting and I can get some blood tests done

Hi Everyone :) is it okay if I join?

I came off the pill 6 months ago and since then my cycles have been really long. First one took a few months to come and then was 28 days so I thought all was good!

Then I had a 35 day cycle and a 41 day cycle. This cycle I’m on CD 29 and just got a positive OPK so looking like an even longer cycle this month. Although it is my first time tracking ovulation so I don’t really know how long it normally is between ovulation and AF.

How long are your cycles? Are they regularly long or irregular? It’s good to see some BFPs on this thread!

@Pol96 thanks for thinking of me :) I'm ok, I'm still fed up with it all but at least I can officially see a doctor about it now.
That's so lovely to hear! A little boy 💙 I bet you're both thrilled x

@Newbie0818 welcome back! I was going to message you today to see how you were.. Hope you're doing okay?

There's been a couple of bfps and I had my gender scan and we're having a boy 💙

Hi ladies, tentatively rejoining the chat on here after my much needed break.

Did I miss anything? Any BFPs?

Cd 27 here and I fear it may be an anovulatory one (PCOS for those who don't know me). Officially 12 months ttc now though and will be seeing my doctor to get the ball rolling 👍🏻

I know. Even my boyfriend said there was clearly 2 lines on the first test. Never mind. On the plus side i had a dark test line on an OPK today so fingers crossed ovulation isn’t far away. How you doing? Xx

Yeah i did one this morning it was definitely negative :(

@hollywhooo have you tested again? 👀

Girls i just tested as i’ve had sore boobs and my OPKs have been weird like non existent test line and i had this. It’s a superdrug test i’m sure they’re known for being faulty? I’m starting to panic my hormones are broken lol

[quote SarahTTC2020]@xoJellyBean not so good... Cd51 for me.
Contacted the Dr and they just text to say that because I mentioned irregular periods I should phone to book a blood test for CD1 ... Well if I knew when cd1 was going to be then I wouldn't have irregular periods.
At least call me for a triage conversation rather than a bloody text 😔[/quote]
Aww this is so frustrating. Can you try and speak to another Dr?

After taking soy this month, I have my first flashing smiley at cd17.. a lot earlier for me. I even feel like ovulation is coming soon. Now dtd time, I have such a busy stressful week at work as well! Why is ttc such hard work..

Congratulations on all the BFPs x

Thank you @hollywhooo it doesnt feel like there's much support out there for irregular periods. When you Google 'missing period' then it's just loads of pregnancy shit. And the Dr texting to say have sex throughout your cycle and not just when you're ovulating isn't helpful because how does she even know I'm ovulating 🤷🏼‍♀️

@SarahTTC2020 i really feel your pain. The doctors really worried me the other day telling me my progesterone was low and then when i spoke to a different GP she said it wasnt even worth doing the blood test as its no point checking levels when you dont know how far off ovulation you are.
I am so so so fed up at the moment. I honestly cant see it ever happening x

Hi @xoJellyBean my OPK’s are all over the place! No idea if I’ve ovulated yet as they keep jumping up and down. Managed to DTD every day so far 😂 but we’ve just been contacted by track and trace so have to isolate for 14 days so fingers crossed we stay symptom free & we can keep up DTD ! X

@hollywhooo so disheartening isn't it x
