New Cycle starting 13/01/21

Just wondering if anyone wants to join me for a new cycle starting yesterday (or thereabouts)? AF reared her ugly head yesterday so it's new cycle time. This will be my 3rd cycle after a MMC in October last year. Let's support each other through this!

Ah ok, so you must have ovulated late @mollyaimee. It happened to me in December, it's super annoying. I think the stress of ttc causes it.

At least if you roughly know when you ovulated and how long your LP is you can work out what's "late" in future a bit better.

mollyaimee · 19/03/2021 14:19

@thislittlebird so negative tests the past 2 days and then AF turns up this morning!! Onto cycle 4!

thislittlebird · 17/03/2021 13:28

Well you never know, if you got a possible line today it’s 50/50

mollyaimee · 17/03/2021 13:20

@thislittlebird yes potentially just a late ovulation so got my fingers crossed but don’t have much hope as usual! I’ll let you know from the FRER, will most likely be a BFN I imagine!

thislittlebird · 17/03/2021 13:12

Ok so relatively normal LP still @mollyaimee. I only realised mine is very standard when I was 5 days late in December which is not like me. Even when I ovulate early or late the LP seems to be the same from what I can see.

Keep us posted on how the FRER goes when you get it!

mollyaimee · 17/03/2021 13:05

@thislittlebird I’ve never really tracked it, but AF usually always starts CD29/30 after ovulating around 16-18 so yeah I guess so?

mollyaimee · 17/03/2021 13:04

@thislittlebird it feels like it too, what with those odd evap lines before! I’m going to test tomorrow with a first response and if that’s negative I guess I’ll just wait it out for AF! Seems odd though considering my cycle is usually like clockwork!

thislittlebird · 17/03/2021 13:02

If you ovulated on day 23 and it’s now day 34.....11 DPO? Is that your usual LP?

thislittlebird · 17/03/2021 13:01

Hmm weird, seems like it’s been such a long cycle for you! @mollyaimee

Test again in day or two I guess, if it’s positive it will appear soon.

mollyaimee · 17/03/2021 12:51

@thislittlebird I’m a little confused if I’m honest! I was still getting high ovulation tests around cd22/23 but then gave up testing. I was due for AF on Saturday/Sunday (different apps said different things) and AF is usually like clockwork but I’m currently cycle day 34 and no sign! Having usual period like pains though which is odd... tested 2 days ago and BFN, tested this morning and thought I saw VVV faint line but I have the worst line eyes so likely BFN. Did have a dip in BBT yesterday so thinking it could have been late ovulation and then implantation dip? Feel like I’m just getting my hopes up though!

thislittlebird · 17/03/2021 12:30

Or rather enquire about a hycosy.

@mollyaimee what happened with the ovulation in the end?

thislittlebird · 17/03/2021 12:29

Congratulations, what a month! @KeepSmiling89

How’s everyone else doing? I’m on my first non-ttc month because of the drugs and not loving it. Hard to relax. But I am still doing ovulation tests so I can keep up with what my cycle is doing.

Might book a hycosy too.

2020mission · 13/03/2021 15:50

Congratulations @KeepSmiling89! How typical though it happens after you get the new job 😂 very successful month for you! 🎉

mollyaimee · 13/03/2021 14:51

@KeepSmiling89 how exciting!! I feel like it always seems to be the months that people say they don’t expect it that they get their BFP!! Really excited for you and fingers crossed all goes well!! 🤩

KeepSmiling89 · 13/03/2021 14:47

@mollyaimee thanks! No not at all! I felt a wee bit sick when I was on my run this morning and had to stop and walk earlier than usual because of fatigue. Felt a but sick just before lunch again but thought that was just because I only had a banana for breakfast and was just hungry. Took a test as I had an 'urge' to test - no sign of AF or anything.
So excited but also a bit nervous as its still early days and I've just accepted this job! Eek!

@KeepSmiling89 omg!!! Congrats!! Were you expecting that?!

KeepSmiling89 · 13/03/2021 14:09

Sorry, I meant 'squinter' not squinted!

OP posts:
KeepSmiling89 · 13/03/2021 14:08

Hi all...so this happened about half an hour ago! Not just a squinted but one heck of a BFP!

Yeah definitely get more reliable ones if this is just dodgy sticks @mollyaimee

Hoping this is like a fresh start. Get my health issues sorted, get my hormones sorted and then I’ll be having my fertility referral in May.

mollyaimee · 11/03/2021 11:53

@thislittlebird how strange! I’m not expecting it to be a positive to be honest as it was obviously after the specified time? I guess I’ll see what my test from this morning says later and also an FRER tomorrow - if it’s not, I’m definitely not using easy@home again though after all the evaps I’ve had recently!!

Glad to hear acupuncture has been helpful for you - and got my fingers crossed that your hormones regulate for you!

thislittlebird · 11/03/2021 11:39

If that’s a positive @mollyaimee you’re the third in a few minutes checking my threads lmao. Definitely do a proper test.

Congratulations! @KeepSmiling89 great news. I got a job nearer to home a couple of years ago and it’s SUCH a good feeling. So sick of the commute.

AF has finally returned to normal for me, so I’m gonna go out on a limb and say acupuncture helped. I’m going again on Saturday. The good doctor also gave me an anti anxiety drug at a low dose. Really hoping fixing my skin, getting help with anxiety and acupuncture for hormones will sort me out by May and put me back on track.

mollyaimee · 11/03/2021 11:23

@KeepSmiling89 lovely to hear from you! Congratulations on the job too, that’s fantastic news! Fingers crossed AF becomes a little more regular for you soon! I seem to have had another experience with potential evap lines?! Took this test yesterday morning and checked within 3 minutes. Looked negative but could see it hadn’t dried properly but just threw away. Got home hours later and of course had to check it again and I could clearly see an extra line that’s not grey and definitely has some pink to it. It’s way darker than any evap line I’ve had before?! Did another test this morning which again looked pretty negative when I checked it but have put aside to see if the same thing happens again! Weirdly, I had what I thought was an evap a few days ago but was much fainter than the line on this test. Am I just extremely unlucky with this batch of tests? I’ve ordered some FRER to do tomorrow!

Hi everyone! Sorry been MIA again for a fair while!
I've got a feeling I either ovulated a bit earlier or later than usual this month as never got a positive OPK at all (hadn't been testing regularly though due to work). Currently CD28 and I think my periods are still getting back into a routine so AF could come within the next week or so...who knows! SMEP didn't quite happen as emotions and feeling very tired recently have gotten in the way so only DTD every few days really...meh!

On another note...I GOT THE JOB! Interview went well yesterday so that's my commute cut in half now...well, when I start in a couple of months. Same pay but cut down on fuel costs and working closer to home makes me SO HAPPY!

thislittlebird · 09/03/2021 20:50

How’s things?

I’m officially out this month but that’s a good thing because a dermatologist has just prescribed me a lot of strong drugs I need to start straight away, will be on them for 6 weeks so I guess I’m out next month too. On the plus side by the time I’m done by gynaecology appointment will be just over a couple of weeks away. Hoping they’ll put me on clomid or something.

mollyaimee · 08/03/2021 20:18

@2020mission @thislittlebird yeah I think I might give it a few days and then test again... I’ll keep you updated! If I’m honest I have no idea when I ovulated this month so could be miles out😂
