Long Cycle girls TTC #2

@MrsL1994 hey :) I was on cilest too. I've been having fluctuations and recently found out it's because of pcos. We're your cycles normal before the pill? It can mask a lot of issues. But also, they say it can take 6-12 months for your periods to regulate after the pill too so it might just be your body finding its own rhythm again

Hi Ladies, I hope you don't mind me joining your thread as I think you guys might be able to help put my mind at rest. I was on Cilest for 18 years and came off it in November. I had WB and then my next AF came 12 weeks later. After that I had AF at 4 weeks then 4 weeks. We then moved home and had some work pressure and am now on 12 weeks and waiting. Has anyone else experienced fluctuation like this? I came off the pill to get my cycle back before trying but the longer its taking the more worried I am, especially being 36.

@duckii it's so hard though isn't it lol. So easy to get carried away. Thank you :)

@hollywhooo get on it girl! And hopefully it's an early one for you 🤞🏼

@xoJellyBean hi! We missed you :) I'm good, finally testing tomorrow. Past few days have been torture lol.
How are you?

Thank you @Newbie0818 i’ll keep trying. I hope not cos we haven’t had sex in a week haha!!! I’m only CD 19 so it would be a miracle for me if i’ve ovulated so early!!!

@Newbie0818 thanks, I'm trying to ignore any symptom and be patient. (I wish lol). Fingers crossed and baby dust for you for tomorrow!

@duckii I had that just post ov, I think it's the sudden progesterone dip, as you say way too early for any symptoms. I think it's fairly normal though :)

@hollywhooo yay you're back! And thanks :)
Looks like it's getting there, keep doing the opk's, you might find you've just missed your peak or are just approaching it.

Hiyya girls, sorry i’ve been quiet been trying not to think about anything TTC related which clearly isnt working as here i am haha.
@Newbie0818 how exciting for you. Fingers crossed for the morning 🤞🏼
I did an OPK yesterday and the test line was literally non existent. Did one just now and my app has given me a peak reading - it doesnt even look that dark to me 🤷🏼‍♀️ What do you girls think??

I feel so tired, sore boobs, and keep randomly feeling v hot and then cold. I'm supposedly 4dpo which I know is early for symptoms. But has anyone felt the same or what symptoms are you feeling (if any) around 4dpo?

@Newbie0818 it's a relief to not have to do it! I still do it every now and then.. But not first thing or while I'm still in bed..

@Suki2020 🤞 hope it stays away!

@Pol96 the moment I can stop I'll be SO happy haha!

@Suki2020 oh dear, really hope it's not af 🤞🏼

Hey, temp still looks ok @Newbie0818. I’ve started spotting and cramps today so I’m pretty sure AF is on her way although it’s very early for me but this is a shorter cycle for me so who knows.

@Newbie0818 it's still higher than at 3dpo (and 6dpo) though.. And it's gone up from yesterday. I really hope this is your bfp, and if it is.. You can stop temping! x

Thanks @Pol96 you are literally like our guru haha! It's so nice you've stuck around for us :)
I'm just a bit concerned by the shape of mine... seems to be above cover but slowly working its way downwards?!

@Newbie0818 mine was up and down but above cover line too.. I'm now 11+1 (or 61dpo lol) ahh I'm so excited for you to test!! 🤞 For you!

@Pol96 I'm 17dpo today and my temp is still above cover, but has been going higher and lower (but above cover) the last few days. That's why I was sure af was around the corner because it kept dipping. Now I'm just confused. I think I'll be the same if I see anything in an hcg!

@Newbie0818 I get that.. When I got my first very faint squinter I cried.. I didn't cry when I got a dark line.. Just when I finally saw something on a hcg test.. how many dpo are you and what's your temp like??

@Pol96 I think I'm just so used to seeing bfns that I'm not expecting anything else! Even now I feel disappointed and I haven't even bloody tested haha 🙈

@Newbie0818 I'd have done so many tests by now!! How are you not doing one this afternoon!? Good luck!

I'm biting the bullet and testing tomorrow, I can't wait any longer! Was certain af would come yesterday after 3 days of odd brown spotting, but completely clear today, and temp rose again. Fully expecting a bfn as that's all I've ever seen but I think I just want to know now 😣

How are you ladies today?

SarahTTC2020 it only takes once so don’t rule yourself out. AF is due Sunday/Monday so will hold out until Tuesday.

@FlyRobinFly I was regular until the pill, but I reckon the pill was masking my pcos for years, now they seem to range from 40-60 days so far. I've heard the same about CPs throwing off the cycles. When will you test?

@SarahTTC2020 thanks :) I'm pretty sure af is starting though as spotting has returned. Hey ho.

@Suki2020 I'm good thank you, I think I'm feeling more relaxed/ less symptom spotting because I'm so convinced that I missed it this month by only having sex the once.
Are you planning on testing soon?

@Newbie0818 FC for you, you've got good willpower not testing. I'm really hoping AF stays away for you and that this is your time!

@flyrobinfly mine have been 40-45 days since coming off the pill last June, but I ovulated cd16 this time so expecting a 30 day cycle, not sure if finally getting back to normal. On another thread I've seen people saying they've had a couple of longer cycles after a cp
