Long Cycle girls TTC #2

I've just had a quick catch up as have been super busy and spied your positive tests @SarahTTC2020 and @justlonelystars - huge congratulations!! I had my 12-week scan at the beginning of last week and waiting for it genuinely felt like months 🙈, but hopefully feels a bit quicker for you both.

@Pol96 that must've been petrifying! My husband can only come to the 20-week scan at the moment and even being at the 12-week scan (and the multiple trips to the EPU I've had to make 😩) on my own felt daunting, so can't imagine how you felt. Glad all is ok though 😊 Our screening results came back yesterday so feel like I might be able to enjoy it all now...maybe!

Hope everyone else is all ok, 🤞🏻 to you @xoJellyBean if you test!

@xoJellyBean I’m going to wait until 6 weeks to tell my family, it’s my mums bday then so will be a nice surprise for her! My husband isn’t going to tell his family until 12 weeks. My friend is coming over in a sec and idk whether to tell her haha

@SarahTTC2020 thank you! Yes such a good feeling. I was dreading seeing “not pregnant” on there during the 3 mins wait! So nervous for the next 8 or so weeks now though...keeping my fingers crossed.

@justlonelystars congratulations! Lovely seeing that digital result isn't it!

@justlonelystars congratulations 🎉 keeping fingers crossed for you @xoJellyBean

@xoJellyBean I guess do what you feel you can cope with :) I never bother testing anymore haha

Aaaaaah so happy!! Ordered some posh tests off amazon yesterday and they arrived last night. Never been so scared as waiting for the result this morning in case I was wrong yesterday!

Yes @xoJellyBean test! I’m always too impatient to wait until one day after period is due haha

@justlonelystars aahhhh yes! Test again each day x

@Pol96 aww I love you're calling bubba "he"! So real! And poor you that must have been scary. Glad he's all ok now x.

@Bs93 welcome :) like others have said don't worry yet, just try to relax and keep healthy x

I'm 5dpo now I think, still not sure for definite about ov but definitely have a little rise...

@Bs93 3 months/cycles of trying. My cycles are normally 40 days exactly but the past two have been weird (30 days and 46 days respectively) but it looks like I’ve conceived this cycle! I came off the pill about 2 years ago though due to mental health issues with it rather than wanting to have a baby 2 years ago. Tbh I’d absolutely convinced myself that I was infertile due to some health issues I have, but having done LH tests and BBT tracking I’ve had the comfort my body is doing what it’s meant to do, even if it’s on a slightly longer than normal cycle!

[quote justlonelystars]@Bs93 hi! I wouldn’t get too disheartened yet...it took 4 months for me to even have a period after coming off the pill having been on it for about 6 years! Are you temping or doing LH tests to track ovulation?[/quote]
Hello! Thanks for your reply 😊
I totally don’t mind that I’m not pregnant yet because I know it’s very early days, just worried it will never happen, think I’m just freaking myself out
I haven’t been, because I’ve been trying to just have sex every other day and not overthink everything. Thinking I’ll wait til it hits 6 months and then step it up!
How long have you been trying? And how are your cycles now? 😊

Hello, hope I’m okay to hop on here! I’ve been trying to avoid joining because I want to be chilled out about everything and not stress but I’m failing at it miserably 🙈
I came off the pill start of August and been trying to conceive since. I had a normal withdrawal bleed then a proper period at the end of August. I’ve been on the pill on and off for 12 years, went back on it about 5 years ago after a year of two off. Looking back, I think my cycles were about 6 or 7 weeks and I never knew exactly when I’d get my period. Never bothered me at the time but now I’m so worried
Currently cycle day 39, I had pain in my lower right side and cramps on around day 25 for a few days was sure it was my period but nothing. Also had EWCM days 14 and 15!
I have no clue what my body is doing, I know it could just be from coming off the pill but considering I’m sure they were long/ irregular cycles before, I have absolutely convinced myself I’m infertile.
Don’t want to see GP quite yet because I know they’ll say to give it more time off the pill but I’m driving myself crazy in the meantime

@xoJellyBean my oh was allowed for scans, but had to leave for appointments and can't come in to emergency appointments or labour until 4cms dilated at the moment, then can only visit for 45 mins a day if I have to stay in.. It varies a lot from area to area. I'll be 26 weeks on Thursday.. Potentially just over 11 weeks left!! (or up to 16weeks..) I have a private scan for 27+2 so I can see his little face again (and hopefully come up with a name 😅)
I have my fingers crossed for you that you have got a sticky bean and that test will be positive! X

@xoJellyBean yes I phoned him up as he’s at work! He’s thrilled! Fingers crossed for you in 5 days time, keep us updated.

@xoJellyBean very scary.. The midwife was lovely though. Was awful that my oh wasn't allowed in with me though
When do you think you'll test?

@justlonelystars ooh soo exciting! Keep us updated!

@xoJellyBean no, I tested on 10 and 11 too but they were obviously BFN. I very nearly didn’t test this morning as I couldn’t really be bothered with seeing another negative but I’m very glad I did! Fingers crossed for you!

@xoJellyBean 12 DPO. Period due on 14 October so hopefully I’ll have a more solid line by Thursday!

@Pol96 I can hardly believe it to be honest!!

Glad to hear your little one is doing okay. Fingers crossed everything else goes smoothly for you!

@xoJellyBean I just saw your post about dry mouth/dizziness etc. I know it’s still early for me and maybe not even definitely a pregnancy but I have been feeling dizzy the past couple of weeks and SO HUNGRY. Nauseous at points too. I haven’t been getting dry mouth but sometimes my mouth has been tasting really sour and acidy if that makes sense?
