Long Cycle girls TTC #2

@duckii yeah we'll see, it's not uncommon for my body to try ovulating and then not, hopefully that isn't the case though :)

@xoJellyBean I didn't as we're staying at my in laws! Just going to have to guess 🤷🏼‍♀️

Wow Sounds promising! @Newbie0818 I have ordered inositol but a different brand, only on cd9 yet.

@Tink2019 no worries :)

@Suki2020 @SarahTTC2020 thanks! We're going to get it in tonight after they've gone to bed, but we also did it on Friday as doing every other day again. Will do everyday for the next week now just in case 😅

So promising @Newbie0818 I'd forgotten you'd started the insitol when I just replied on the other thread. Less hungry too? Maybe I need to try this haha

@Newbie0818 that sounds really promising 🤞 you are about to ovulate. I’ve just started to get some faint lines on OPK’s so hopefully mine will peak in the next week or so.

Think my body did the same last cycle @Newbie0818 as had two dips and rises before a sustained rise. Keep us posted 😊 and thank you for the Inositol info, have bookmarked so I don't forget!

Thank you @Tink2019 I'm going to watch my temps closely over the next few days to see if anything happens as I think my body has tried to ovulate twice during the month before. I've attached a pic of the one I take, and I've only been taking the suggested dose which is less than recommended for pcos (1000mg) to start with, but I want to see if it shortens my cycle, and I'll go up to the full 2000mg dose next month. I've had no side effects or anything which is nice as many ladies complain of headaches. I feel less hungry too which is really nice.

Wow @Newbie0818 that's promising!! I don't know much about Inositol, but have just read it can help with egg quality (along with CoQ10) so as I'm 34 might try both. How much Inositol do you take and do you mind me asking which one you have?

Keeping everything crossed for you that this is O day...almost the perfect day in terms of a 'normal' cycle if it is 🎉

@Tink2019 I really hope it happens for you soon 🤞🏼

I think I'm ovulating! cd 15!!! LOADS of ewcm this morning and my cervix is high soft and open! At the in laws though so can't do opk's and sneak off to DTD 😫 am I stupid for thinking the inositol is working this quickly?!

@Newbie0818 Definitely! Once I've O'd this month I'm going to BBT, but my husband is going to write it down rather than me putting it in my app, because it drove me bonkers last cycle checking my temps in the TWW...only on CD11 though so O is probably quite far away yet!

@Tink2019 it's so annoying some days I just want to scream because I have to do all these things and some other people just do it once after coming off birth control and are lucky 😭 but hey, I guess the wait will make it all the more precious.

@Newbie0818 that's exactly how I feel - want to give it a rest, but will have no idea when I O is (or if I even have O'd) or when AF is due if I don't keep doing the OPKs and BBT 😩

@xoJellyBean fair enough, totally get that feeling. It just takes so long doesn't it. I'm ok, just waiting for ovulation and DTD every other day again. I just really don't want to keep testing like you said, but my cycles are so unpredictable I need to gather all the data 😫

@duckii hi how are you? I’ve had my ERPC on Tuesday so just waiting to heal and Af should then come in 4-6 weeks. My cycles have been long since coming off the pill last May. Average 35ish days but had longer ones this year 45 and one longest one so far with 52 days! I’m hoping it will go back to 35ish once my body has recovered from ERPC xx

How is everyone? I hate having long cycles.. feels like the wait is getting longer and longer ttc. Af has finally finished.. but my cycles are averaged 42 days.

@xoJellyBean yay! That's good news re the cycle. Will you ttc next cycle now?

Congratulations @Pol96
Exciting times ahead for you xxx

Thank you @Firevie! Xx

@Pol96 really pleased for you! Wishing you all the very best! Xxx

Thanks everyone.. Its still not sunk in there is actually a baby there.. 😂

@Tink2019 so my first cycle we just thought we'd see what happens.. Not a lot lol.. Second cycle (we were very lucky) I used opks and bbt tracking, only dtd once in fw, the day I had ewcm and positive opk (we'd kinda run out of steam lol) I had also cut my hand open a couple of days earlier so that wasn't great. We both took prenatals (pregnacare conception and the mens version) and used conceive plus.. Got a very faint positive at 10dpo.. X

Ah you must be so relieved @Pol96 🙌🏻 Glad all is fine and you can relax and enjoy the next few months. Out of interest, did you do anything differently the cycle you conceived? Sorry if you've already said this, think I joined this thread after your BFP (plus have a memory like a sieve!!) x
