Long Cycle girls TTC #2

DTD in the end yesterday after a positive opk Friday so FC ! Will try again today too just to make sure and then it's TWW again! Should mean I have a 30 day cycle which seems strange after a year of long ones since coming off the pill

Thanks @Darcy86 I guess it's a waiting game isn't it. Aww so happy for you, it must be nerve wracking though x

Hi @Newbie0818 - just saying, I had cramps that felt exactly like AF and I was 2 days late when I got a v strong positive on a FRER so you never know

I am fine thank you, believe I'm around 5+3, symptoms still pretty mild - slightly tender boobs, the odd wave of v mild nausea, and some fatigue in the afternoons. Have managed to stop doing tests, I did my last cb digital on Friday and got my "3+" so will try to wait now until my first appointment which is coming up on the 9th July. Have been a bit anxious generally, worrying that something is going to go wrong, but I think that's pretty normal. Keep us updated on how you get on xx

@Suki2020 apparently so. I'm not too hopeful though.

@Pol96 wow! That's good though!
I've got a few cramps today so I've put on a pad and hoping af stays away!

@Newbie0818 hi I'm okay thanks 😊 was my birthday yesterday so saw a few friends and family in the garden. Was nice seeing people but also strange given social distancing! Had to go to the doctors Thursday as I thought I had a uti.. He tested but nothing, thinks it was just my uterus squishing my bladder. He still didn't actually test for pregnancy!! 10+3 now and still waiting on my scan letter. But my hospital is letting partners go to the scans from the 6th July so I'm hoping my scans after the 6th!

My temp went up and down but stayed above cover line, you're not out yet Newbie!

@Suki2020 your chart looks very good!

Hi @duckii a static smiley face means you are about to ovulate. Keep DTD today and tomorrow. They say ovulation is about 12-36 hours after you get your peak.

Hi, I've been reading some of the posts but thought I would join in now. I'm TTC #2, we did try last 2 months but did not focus on ovulation tests etc. So I thought I would try this month. I have long cycles.. and they vary each month but average is 42 days. I'm on CD 23, expected period is 18th of July. Estimated ovulation is around 4th/5th July? I needed some advice, I just ordered clear blue advanced ovulation tests yesterday and thought I would try my first test this morning with FMU and it went to a static smiley face. What does this mean? Have I missed this month we did DTD last night though! So confused with these tests! Xx

@Newbie0818 are you 2days late now with af? At least it’s still above the cover line. Mine went up again this morning. But still no symptoms other than sore boobs.

@Pol96 @xoJellyBean @Darcy86 @hollywhooo hope you ladies are doing ok 😘

@Suki2020 it went down, but still way above the cover line. I'm not hopefully anymore tbh. I'll just see what happens over the next few days I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️
What about you?

@Newbie0818 that’s good. How is your temp this morning?

@Suki2020 all was good in the end, it seems like no one was actually in drinking mode 😂

@Rosegold3112 keep on testing :) it might vary from month to month.

@Rosegold3112 you so have a second line there so keep testing and hopefully it will happen in the next week.

@newbie0818 I second saying you have to drive. Or feign a headache or dodgy tummy, or even a hangover 😂😂 anything that drink would make worse

So CD 27. Am I correct in thinking if I were to have a 41 day cycle again this time would mean I'll likely ovulate around Sunday? But doing ovulation tests and keep getting such negative results. Line seemed to be a bit darker yesterday lunch time but pale again by night and no real change today.
I swear now all I want to do is see I ovulate this month and then abandon everything to give my brain some rest!
Hope everyone is feeling good today.

@Newbie0818 tell them you have to drive somewhere later so you can’t drink 🤣 enjoy your BBQ

@Suki2020 no different to usual, so I'm thinking that means I'm probably out soon 🤷🏼‍♀️ we're having some friends over for a bbq soon and I'm trying to think of a reason to not drink! Any ideas? I don't normally drink anyway (last time was Xmas I think!) but these are the people we would usually go out with for drinks 🙈

@Newbie0818 your chart looks good!! Mine is normally more jagged. I had a few hot flushes this morning. How are you feeling?

@Suki2020 ooh that's a nice steady rise! Mines more jagged but apparently that's normal for pcos.
What's your normal like?

@Newbie0818 I know what you mean, I hate to see a bfn it’s so disheartening isn’t it. My temp chart looks weird to my normal

@Suki2020 no haha I'm too scared. I'll wait a week I think x

@Newbie0818 that’s good that you had a temp rise this morning, will you test now this weekend?

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is well! All the animals are adorable! I have 3 cats who I pander to. It's quite nice as they're ragdolls so let me carry them like babies😂😂

I am on day 23 of my cycle and day 4 of flashy smiley faces of our first cycle of properly trying.

Does anyone else use the clear blue digitals? Has anyone ever not got a static smiley?

@SarahTTC2020 thanks! Had a surprising temp rise this morning and was fully expecting it to fall for some reason. Flos says I'm a day late now 🤞🏼

And get DTD! No because you normally ovulate 12-36 hours after your positive opk so this morning is probably perfect. I'd do it tonight and tomorrow too if you can manage it haha.
