No AF and BFNs 🤷‍♀️

@Bgrace8 I came off the pill in April if I’d have known it would take this long I should have came off the pill sooner! I had been on the pill for a long time so I’m hoping it’s just taken a while for the pill to come out of my system, even though they say it’s out as soo as you stop. Yep it’s a nice place, if we got to the stage of needing ivf we would need to travel to Newcastle but I’m really hoping we don’t have to come to that 🤞🏻🤞🏻 I don’t know if I could handle the stress of it

@HT1335 how long have you been trying for now? I thought the same, came off pill in august and was thinking aww I’d have a spring baby!! Haha.

I live in Leeds and work in estate agency so been incredibly busy last few months and tomorrow is my last day finishing at 12!

I love Cumbria, we recently stayed there in Carlisle and a cottage with a hot tub!

@Bgrace8 I live in Cumbria and I am
Working through Xmas as I’m nhs but I’ve asked for some leave in January so I can have some
Chill time, not that there’s a lot to do! What about you?

No it’s not supposed to be this hard and stressful
I’m quite surprised about it all! Shows how naive I have been! I use a PinkBird app that was free and my Fitbit. Yep you think should we not bother to track anything or start to track everything 🤷🏼‍♀️ I really didn’t expect it to take this long
But we all do need to try and think positive and that it will happen when the time is right! At least next year the world will hopefully be a safer place so we’ve maybe times things right 🤞🏻

@HJen22 @HT1335 I think If it hasn’t happened this month I will track with bbt just for peace of mind. Might try download a different app too.

Where are you two from anyway? And what are your plans over Christmas?

@Bgrace8 I have used Femometer since quite early on, and paid a bit more to get all the advise, predictions etc and I have also recently been using Ovia which I quite like too. I find myself getting a bit obsessed with the Femometer one and the predictions and charts and things! Just too easy to!

@HT1335 I know, I totally understand how you feel, I've tried to explain to my bf so many times. Then I think maybe I should just not track anything. But if it's not happening with tracking what are the chances it will happen without!! I found the OPKs ok but doing BBT is a bit of a pain! It always seems to take ages and I'm sitting with the thing in my mouth for ages! But then I felt better knowing I had ovulation confirmed. Ugh it's just not meant to be this hard is it 😭 i have feelings of worrying it won't happen either, let's try and stay positive 🥰

@HJen22 which app do you use? I have Flo and use to religiously go on it but haven’t recently. Might try BBT next month to see if u actually did ovulate or not.
@HT1335 I know! Luckily my partner gets it as I waffle on to him so much haha but he was so poorly we were trying and it just wasn’t happening if you know what I mean!!

@HJen22 I am the same with the opk I don’t know whether to do them or not as I find them really stressful

They feel like your pressuring them but they don’t understand that it needs to happen regular as it can only happen at the right moment! I’ve only got 2 tests so I think I’ll wait until next week as I’ve so lost faith that I’ll get my BFP I feel like it will never happen, although I should try and stay positive! My cycles are all over the place too. I will see what happens and then I will contact my gp in the new year again

@Bgrace8 it's such a waiting game with each cycle isn't it! My cycles have been a bit all over too, a mix of 29, 24, 25, 26, 35 and now 27!! Sometimes the app is bang on, other times a few days off! Normally AF is quite light and short too! So who knows! Not sure if to leave the clear blue OPKs a month or not! X

@HJen22 you do right!! well after coming off the pill they were 28, 28 then 25 then 33! So who knows! Currently on day 29!

@Bgrace8 yeah I'd knew it was coming so I'd already started on a few festive drinks a night after work 😂 really hope it's a BFP for you! How long are your cycles normally, other than last month?

@HT1335 my partner was the same and I wasn't sure we DTD enough like I'd hoped, I think that's why I've not really said anything to him since AF arrived other than it was here. And I'm trying not to get upset so not talking about it with him is the best way to avoid the tears I think!

@HT1335 you hear all the stories though that those are the times when it happens! I would want to test if I was you!

My partner was the same last month for the first time and really struggled as he got really poorly with tonsillitis (I felt awful haha)

@HJen22 aww sorry to hear your AF has attained but at least you know what’s happening and can enjoy some drinks
My app says mine is due on the 27th but as it’s been so out of sync last time... who knows?
@Bgrace8 hopefully this is a good sign! I just feel sickly with a headache it that could mean anything I don’t think we have dtd enough to be honest as my partner feels is put pressure on him sometimes so we will have to wait and see again

@HJen22 that’s such a shame but atleast it’s not a long cycle again and you can enjoy a drink at Christmas as I would miss that if I was! Haha.

@HT1335 this could be a really good sign! My af still hasn’t arrived yet and I’m on day 29 so either a good sign or a long bloody cycle again!!

Hello ladies! AF came for me yesterday, which wasn't a surprise! I will enjoy some festive drinks and trying my very best not to wallow or be upset! Positive thinking for 2021!

How are you all doing?

@HT1335 oh no I'm sorry to hear you are feeling poorly! I hope you feel better ASAP! And that it's a BFP making you feel under the weather! Should AF be due soon? Mine came bang on when Femometer predicted after 27 days, thank goodness it wasn't 35 again, the upside!!

I’ve woken up today feeling really sick, headache and really tired so part of me wonders if that’s a sign of things or I could just be poorly, Covid (really hope not) or just tired? I really don’t want to test early but if I feel no better I think I’ll test before AF just to see what’s going on
Hope everyone else is doing ok?

How you getting on ladies??

Hello I’m ok I’m not sure when AF is due and maybe that’s a good thing! As I’m working all week so I won’t get time to think about it
@Bgrace8 oh I hope your scans are ok and yes you’re right it can still happen!
Sorry that AF has arrived for some but ag least you know what’s happening for this month now and can start again for the next one! Maybe new year fresh start for us all! 🤞🏻

@Bgrace8 my BBT the last two days has plummeted went below the coverline so kinda just assume it's coming! Other than that, totally fine! No symptoms but I've massively been trying not to symptom spot as it drives me mad haha!

Shorter cycles have always slightly worried me, in case the luteal phase was too short. One month after tracking it was only 11 days before AF and my app said that wasn't long enough! Always something new to worry about 🙈 but yeah the fact that ovulation comes round quicker is better but one month it was CD9, this month was 13, just seems more the "norm" when I read online! One app had predicted yesterday but the other says tomorrow!

@HJen22 why do you expect your AF tomorrow? Do you have symptoms? Frustrating thing is I get no symptoms whatsoever so never know when it is coming.

I know it’s not impossible with pcos so I’m not too upset I’d just rather know! That’s good for your sister though.

I would much rather have shorter cycles, you can try quicker and more! If this one is around the same as last it’ll be Christmas Day! 😭

@Bgrace8 hello! How are you! Same, I'm on cycle day 27, which is better than most of my cycles of 24-26 days! I'm expecting AF tomorrow though 😞 but no spotting as of yet!

That's good you got to see the doctor and they've put you forward for tests! I hope they come back clear 🤞🏻 Some positive feedback if you do have pcos, my sister was diagnosed with that and fell pregnant a few months after when she was given medication and internal exams etc! I was tested for it back in august.

@lastbany hello to you too! Sorry I always forget who to tag in these haha!

@HJen22 @HT1335 @ImpatientMama hi ladies how are you all?

Girls so sorry to hear your AF has come, mine hasn’t yet, I’m on day 27 but as my previous were 25 and 33 I really don’t know when it will come and if to test or not. Can’t make my mind up!

I did however have a blood test last week and results Friday and the dr thinks possible pcos from my bloods and sending me for a scan!
