August might be pact might be madness part 2

Ok so tested.
BFN.
Come on AF where you at??? X

Evening girls!
Sorry haven’t replied to people! Been on a 13 hour shift and feel a bit crap.
So CD32 according to ovia. Still no AF but feel like she could turn up tomorrow.
Last tested Wednesday and it was BFN.
Surely If I was pregnant would of picked it up on the cheapie test I did Wednesday as will be 14DPO tomorrow Not sure what to do. Xx

@89Ann nooooo, I will put off testing as long as I can. I hate it. I’d rather be ignorant to it 😂 I think I was 16/18dpo when I tested for my bfp in June

No big update from me, still no AF, another small temp rise and maybe a little cramping but nothing really. What a fun cycle!

@kirinm Oh that sounds so rough, really hope the drip is helping and you begin to feel more yourself soon.

@claireb707 It is amazing sometimes how quick an OPK can turn positive though so hopefully your peak is just round the corner.

@Sansa87 That colour really looks lovely. Buying a house is so hard especially when lots of things are happening at once. I am lucky that my dad is my mortgage advisor within an estate agents so mega helpful. I hope the house buying process goes as smooth as it can for you.

@Sansa87 are you going to test early? Did you last time?

I am going to wait until the day AF is due. As long as she doesn’t show up before of course

@claireb707 I’m not too bothered if it’s still weeks, thankfully we love this flat. Oh bought it two years ago. We just wanted a house together for when we have a family. I just hate not knowing exactly when 😂 I want to know if I should be sorting stuff, & packing, or if there’s still plenty of time 😬

We’ve had the reports back, and three issues have been raised, but now had some stuff to sign and send back with no date on them as that will be added on completion.

This being an adult is tough.

I keep thinking I have to be near testing time, surely? This 2ww is definitely longer than the last one 😅

@sansa87 it wasn't me but I love those colours!!

I can’t remember if it was @MrsB2019x or @MrsBtobe2020 who advised the paint app, but I’m having SO much fun! Just want one pink wall in the dressing room so testing out the pinks 🥰

Buying a house is hard. We have received so many pdf files and a draft contract (with one of my middle names wrong) I haven’t ever bought before so I don’t know if this means we are really close to exchanging, or I’m still looking at months

@claireb707 my cycle was weird this month, & I didn’t peak until cd20/21

Maybe something in the air?

@claireb707 same here. I normally ovulate day 14 and I’m currently day 19. Finally got a high on opk and lots ewcm so hopefully peak later today or tomorrow and ovulate over the weekend. Guess my body just wanted to keep me on my toes!!

@kirinm hope you’re feeling better soon

@MrsBtobe2020 I think it’s normal for it to take a couple of months to sort itself out. We didn’t start trying for a few months after stopping pull and I didn’t pay any attention to it but mine seem settled now

Feel better @kirinm ❤️

I’m feeling a bit periody so maybe I will come on when I’m due and I just ovulated really late.

Feeling a bit bleh about it

@Tigger1987 @MrsBtobe2020 Thanks! We’re so happy but there’s a lot to do 😂

@kirinm You poor thing, you must feel rotten! Take care of yourself x

@MrsB2019x ooh that's so exciting! Enjoy your new house!
@Tigger1987 @stickytoffeepud1991 hope you both get your cycles sorted soon. AF for 2 cycles after stopping the pill was mega light (which I know isn't actually a problem) however now it's back to what I remember as a teenager which I'm taking as a positive, maybe my two in June and July were anovulatory?

@MrsB2019x thanks for asking. I'm actually still in hospital. This evening I have managed to eat something which is a massive improvement. My temp is still around 40C but I've been having fluids by drip for the last 24hrs and I feel like that's helping.

@89Ann Your chart looks great, a good temperature shift. I also run quite a low temperature before ovulating, normally about 35.9 or less. Then it dips before ovulation and normally only rise to about 36.4 - 36.5.

@MrsBtobe2020 I am so glad you finally have some closure, what a cycle! Sorry no advice about when to do OPKS but CD10 sounds a good day to start.

@stickytoffeepud1991 Welcome to the waiting game! I have my fingers crossed for you. When do you think you will test next?

@MrsB2019x Congratulations on the house move! Have a fantastic first night in your new home. Sounds like you need a well deserved rest.

So I felt a lot more positive today as I scrutinized by BBT chart and convinced myself that the dip at 5DPO was actually ovulation and if that is the case then AF should be here today but still nothing. So back to waiting. I am really grateful to be able to speak to all of you as my OH is lovely but doesn't really get why I am so anxious about it all.

Evening ladies! Can’t believe some of the wacky cycles going on here, the waiting must be awful.

@89Ann That’s exactly why I don’t track BBT because it’s something else to obsess over. That and I love my sleep too much to get up early consistently!

CD8 here and not much going on TTC wise. We moved house yesterday and I am EXHAUSTED. Probably won’t keep up with the OPK’s and stuff as we have so much to do with the house that I probably won’t remember!

Hope you’re all okay. Hope you’re feeling a bit better now @kirinm?

@MrsBtobe2020 great news!! 42 days is crazy!! I feel like I’m heading towards it! I’m on CD 31 now and I’ve never been this long before! I had a bfn sun and yesterday so I guess it’s just a waiting game!! Xx

I'm out this month, finally back to cd1! After a 42 day cycle it was about time...
Does anyone have suggestions for when you should start doing opks if your cycle lengths haven't been regular? Do I just sort of go from day 10 til I see something?

Hi @Sansa87 i thought that but i find it useful. I get up at 5.20am and have been setting alarm also at weekends and shoving it in my mouth and going back to sleep. It syncs with my phone and saves last temp so it’s ok. But... it is another thing to over analyse. If we are not successful this month I plan to pull back on all the testing and tracking xx

I’m so tempted to do my bbt but I just feel it looks too complicated or I’d screw it up.

I get up for work during the week at around 5am, but my two days off, this girl sleeps in 😂

@LT103 thank you, yes I am learning that. I was excited to see my temp rise this week 😂 who would have thought it haha

@89Ann my temp sits around 35.8 pre ovulation and about 36.3-36.5 post ovulation. Or thereabouts. Everyone is different and lots of factors will affect it so wouldn’t compare to other people’s cycle, more just looking at the pattern on your own
