@acupofteamakeseverythingbetter thank you 😊 I'm on cd 14, had a very long cycle last month and this month I thinks it's very short, seemed to have ewcm cd 7/8/9 with sore boobs like I would during ovulation, so DTD then but didn't use opks this month no not sure, normally my cycles are 26-32 days but the last was almost 40 days and this ones off too so not sure what's going on, I'll wait and see!
As for symptoms I've had really bad insomnia for the past three nights and normally sleep like a baby! That's about it, no ovulation symptoms at the moment so think if I did ovulate it was very early!
Any symptoms for you?

acupofteamakeseverythingbetter · 07/01/2021 12:35

Hi @Ginini of course, welcome 😊 how many do are you and have you got any symptoms?

@DeeDee20 sorry to hear that 😢 definitely let yourself be sad about it, don’t bottle it up. Maybe a good few glasses of wine tonight too!

Hi ladies can I join please?
I was on a similar thread but it's gone quiet

Letsdothis50 · 07/01/2021 11:42

@DeeDee20 sorry to hear. How are you now? Coud it have been implantation bleeding? Hope the GP is helpful, keep us posted.

DeeDee20 · 06/01/2021 22:16

@Babyvibes thank you Flowers AF came at work but it’s weird, brown and very light when usually I’m so heavy at the start. I do not know what’s happening but since taking folic acid I ovulation 10 days later than usual and now this weird period. Will be calling GP tomorrow. So confusing and worrying.
Hope you are all ok xx

Babyvibes · 06/01/2021 21:06

@DeeDee20 and @Letsdothis06 thank you ladies. I did another test tonight and my eyes played tricks I thought there was a faint line but then it disappeared 😔 so frustrating. Im still getting cramps so its just a waiting game but im holding it together knowing ivf is coming soon. @DeeDee20 i have my folic acid here ready to start taking I didnt know it prolonged cycles tho. Hang in there tho your time will come 😘

Letsdothis06 · 06/01/2021 08:26

Urgh @deedee20 sorry to hear that. I take the pregnacare ones (not pre conception, just normal throughout pregnancy ones). It does contain the folic acid. I am pretty sure they lengthen my cycle too.

@Babyvibes, wish you all the best!

DeeDee20 · 06/01/2021 07:53

@Babyvibes it really is reassuring to talk to others and thank you for telling your story.

I caved today ladies, BFN on 13dpo with a boots 5 day early detector. I’m on cd 35 which I assume has been prolonged by folic acid Confused fed up. Think I’ll stop that now xx

acupofteamakeseverythingbetter · 05/01/2021 23:07

Good luck to you @Babyvibes sending you lots of baby dust and positivity your way ❤️ Xx

I will do thank you for all your lovely words. Its reassuring having other women to talk. I think that's all I needed im having alot a cramps now so I'm expecting it will be my period. Im excited for ibf and feeling positive about it so fingers crossed. I will keep yous updated and if anyone has any questions about ivf while im doing it im happy to answere them. Good luck to everyone on your journey 🥰

acupofteamakeseverythingbetter · 05/01/2021 21:42

I keep having to remind myself that we’re not out until AF turns up. As you’ve lost a lot of weight that could be affecting the length of your cycle. I’m sorry I can’t be of any help, I can only advise testing every few days. These days drag anyway but being in lockdown they go incredibly slowly 🙈

Great news that your ivf appointment won’t be delayed 😊 keep me updated of anything changes xx

Hi at @acupofteamakeseverythingbetter thank you so much for your kind words. I last tested today using early dection tests from amazon and still a BFN I think I got myself excited that I obulated on day 19 of my cycle which is early but when we did the deed I defo felt sensitive and had my hopes up. But im now thinking its af coming. Checked my cervix just before and its gone very high and hard. Im about 3 days over my usual cycle time. I usualy have a 30-32 day cycle on day 36 today. Which I know can happen with pcos. Ive lost alot of weight and had to change my diet as was very ill and found out I was wheat and dairy intolerant. So I'm not sure if all that could be playing a part of it. Its just a roller coaster of emotions. We got good news today that despite being back in lockdown we can still carry on with ivf. I thought they may of cancelled and it would delay us. So I'm trying my best just to focus on ivf starting soon 🙂 ive read that some women can go weeks late with a possotive test but im not holding out for that. Sending lots of baby dust and love to you aswel 🥰

acupofteamakeseverythingbetter · 05/01/2021 21:05

Hi @Babyvibes thank you for sharing and I’m so sorry you’ve had such a difficult journey. I’m keeping everything crossed for you and sending you lots of baby dust!!! Do you know a rough date of when you might be due? When was the last time you did a test? Today? Xx

Hi ladies im in a similar position but we have been trying to conceive for 10 year now with only 1 pregnancy from gonal f which we lost at 6 weeks. I gave up for about 2 yesr after ivf failed. My partner has children to previous marriage so it cost alot of money for the ivf. Anyway current situation is we are waiting to start ivf, my partner gets his st on the 19th of this month then my scan on ovaries is the 1st Feb. I have pcos by the way. So I've been tracking my ovulation and ovulated 18 days ago. Had back pain headaches and fatigue. Didn't feel my self at all this was about 6-10 po. Then this all just stopped now I have slightly tender breast and slight cramping on my right side on and off. I've done so many test and all BFN!! its so frustrating I almost forgot why I gave up but I wont this time as I know time is ticking. So its 18dpo now and still no sign of my P. (Sorry im not down with the lingo lol it feels all new to me again) this is the longest I have gone without it and I'm feeling a little swollen down there today. Im not sure what to do or how to feel right now but I may ring the ivf clinic for reassurance at the end of the week. I love to see everyone's stories and wish everyone the best of luck 💗

DeeDee20 · 05/01/2021 20:48

@Letsdothis06 hey!! Ah really? What vitamins did you take? I don’t kno if I should stop the folic acid now?
@acupofteamakeseverythingbetter I’m feeling the same love. I bought some tests but too scared. Think I will test on Friday. Xx

acupofteamakeseverythingbetter · 05/01/2021 20:07

😂 thank you! A cuppa fixes everything doesn’t it?! Finger crossed for us both. I have to be honest, I’m not very hopeful, I don’t know why? I just don’t think this is the month but will be good to know either way 😁 Ive read that you didn’t have any symptoms with #1 so maybe I’m not out just yet! Xx

OP posts:
Letsdothis06 · 05/01/2021 19:58

Thank you so much @acupofteamakeseverythingbetter (love your username!).
Yes due AF this Thursday. I ordered some FRER so will probably do one then.
Fingers crossed for you too, hopefully we will both know by this weekend!

acupofteamakeseverythingbetter · 05/01/2021 19:49

Hi @Letsdothis06 of course, welcome 😊 are you due AF this Thursday? Hopefully all your symptoms are a positive sign!! Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 for you and sending you lots of baby dust xx

May I join? I am 6 days post ovulation, first cycle of TTC #2.

@DeeDee20 like you, my cycle is always 28 days but i took vitamins this month and only ovulated on Day 21... AF due on Thursday.

I was trying not to overthink but I woke in the night with cramps and got really disappointed that AF was probably on its way. But then I felt sick for the rest of the night and have been nauseous on and off all day. I also fell asleep at my laptop at one point. I feel really rough, it's so weird.

So i took a test to check I wasn't going crazy and of course BFN. Just have to wait and see....Never had any symptoms with #1, maybe it's all in my head!

acupofteamakeseverythingbetter · 05/01/2021 19:42

Thanks ladies @DeeDee20 @Tina8800 will keep you updated but doubt I’ll test until AF is late xx

OP posts:
DeeDee20 · 05/01/2021 16:12

@acupofteamakeseverythingbetter @Tina8800 the wait is the worse isn’t it. Everyday AF isn’t here is good news xx

Tina8800 · 05/01/2021 16:01

@acupofteamakeseverythingbetter It is! Dont give up hope till your AF arrives! In September I got positive when I was 5 days late and it was only a faint line! (probably due to the late ovulation). My symptoms are pretty much gone too, keep questioning what was real and what I just imagined. Cant help to obsess about it...

acupofteamakeseverythingbetter · 05/01/2021 15:37

@Tina8800 it's all so confusing isn't it?! I think I'm out this month because I tested again this morning and got another BFN at 12dpo. I know AF isn't due until Friday so there's still time but i'm not holding my breath, no symptoms at all today x

Tina8800 · 05/01/2021 14:33

@acupofteamakeseverythingbetter
I will use the MomMed pregnancy strips. They are very cheap on amazon but I also have a CB for backup.
I used PreMom ovulation stirps from amazon and they are great; the app with it helped me a lot too.
I am also confused about the AF. I ovulate late, so the apps are calculating from that date I guess. But mine always shows up exactly 4 weeks. Looks like my body only have 9 days for implantation :S
