@Lovebug06 it is lovely your OH is being so supportive. Really hope AF stays away!

@Kay00 ah how frustrating! Our bodies are really rubbish sometimes. It does look like your body keeps trying but doesn't quite manage it.

@ChinChilly great temp rise!

I finally have my crosshairs! It originally said I am 5dpo which I don't believe. So playing round with it, it now says I am 3dpo which I think is right

@Kay00 is it worth trying to speak to your doctor again?

@Lovebug06 great that OH is being supportive, that really helps

Lovebug06 · 29/03/2021 11:36

@ChinChilly it's great that you have ovulated ❤️
@Cams50 feeling a bit sick but I'm pretty sure it's the nerves of today 😂
@Kay00 sorry to hear that. Our bodies are cruel. I'm sure they do things to confuse us! I mean, even period and pregnancy symptoms are the same, which is just weird!
Hope you are okay ❤️
@moocher90 is this your first month of the blood tests? Sorry if I've got confused. Mine came out good but then some people ovulate some months and not others so I wondered if they test it again to know this or you just go to a fertility clinic. I randomly thought this yesterday!
@MissC07 sorry to hear about AF. I hope you are okay. This journey is horrible.

My DH usually doesn't know what to say, I usually tell him a bit after my AF arrives when I've got over the crying a bit. He is really on it this month though, I think maybe he has woken up to the fact it is taking a long time. Last night he kept saying about if it comes today we will do everything we can next month. He was being so sweet but I had to ask him to stop talking about it for a bit, then he said, I just want you to have a baby in there, I don't want you to be sad anymore💔 and even thinking of it this morning makes me well up.
Worried each time I need the loo now. Got the SDC here as a good distraction on general though.

MissC07 · 29/03/2021 11:27

@Kay00 thank you, I'm off to fall down a google/MN Soy search 😂

120 days*

Kay00 · 29/03/2021 10:47

@MissC07 Sad sorry to hear AF arrived. The only thing I came across to help with long cycles is the Soy Isoflavones which can bring forward your ovulation and make it stronger. I have tried it for two cycles now, and although I haven't ovulated at all ... I think that is because of other issues i'm having. I think my body has tried to ovulate around CD15-17 on each of the last two months. For someone who doesn't have a crappy body it would probably work really well, perhaps check out some of the Soy Iso threads that are currently ongoing to see if it is right for you?

Thanks @ChinChilly x its been nearly 120 since I last ovulated and i'm starting to wonder if I have become infertile :/

ChinChilly · 29/03/2021 10:26

@Moocher90 more often than not my LP is 12days but it’s hard to tell because of the CPs my cycles have gone abit wonky.

@Kay00 sorry FF took away your cross haird 😞 your body really is being shitty atm! Hope you get it sorted soon

MissC07 · 29/03/2021 10:23

@ChinChilly Woo for ovulation!

@Kay00 Sorry your body is playing tricks on you. Hopefully something will happen in the next few days with your temps dropping at the moment 🤞

AF arrived for me this morning so I'm out again 😔 Wondering whether I should try anything different this month or just wait and see if I have another 40+ day cycle. Before I went on the pill (13 years ago) I sort of remember my cycles being all over the place and only having about 6 or 7 AFs a year. I wish I'd paid more attention back then!

Yey for ovulation! Grin @ChinChilly

@Moocher90 sounds like your LP is going swimmingly Grin so pleased for you!

@minipilling I would say that taking your progesterone pill probably won't effect anything too much if you continue to ovulate Smile

My temp plummeted this morning, and FF removed my cross hairs, so I guess my suspicions were right. My body is so damn cruel, I genuinely thought I had ovulated for a few days haha! Back to square one.

Moocher90 · 29/03/2021 09:45

@ChinChilly do you have an expected AF date or is every month different for you? I was told to count back 7 days from when u think AF will start and that should be the day you go and have bloods.

I also got to have nhs day 3 and 21 bloods but the Dr wants them done in the same cycle so I guess that will be next month.

Also got my thyroid bloods in April. So many bloody blood tests 😂

ChinChilly · 29/03/2021 09:39

@Moocher90 not really, they can be abit erratic but they are normally above the cover line...fingers crossed for an implantation dip!

I’ve gotta book in 21 day bloods when AF appears but I’m not sure what day to book them in for as I’ve only ovulated on CD14 once & my GP get so booked up for bloods it has to be booked weeks in advance, I might just book them for CD 24/25 and hope for the best

Moocher90 · 29/03/2021 09:32

@ChinChilly congrats on the ovulation! You don’t tend to have issues of temp staying up during ovulation?! Mine dipped today but not drastically but I’m 8DPO so technically in the implantation/secondary estrogen surge stage. We will see what happens over the course of the next week and see what my temperatures do.

I sent off day 21 bloods today, I had one from let’s get checked to use but it’s CD22 but I usually have 30 day cycles so still is 7 days before AF should appear

minipilling · 29/03/2021 09:27

Yeah just have to wait and see I guess! Having lots of sciatic pain right now as I usually get around ovulation, lying on my acupressure mat! Wish it was the future and I could grow a baby outside of me and watch it like a sea monkey.

Cams50 · 29/03/2021 08:47

@ChinChilly that’s a lovely clear temperature rise! Yay for ovulation!

@Lovebug06 I haven’t been pregnant so don’t know about the symptoms but I’m hoping AF stays away today! I don’t normally get those symptoms so fingers crossed for you!

@minipilling I have no idea sorry but I’m sure two pills wouldn’t make a difference. Women get pregnant on the pill or when they miss one (I don’t know how this happens when I’ve been trying so long off the pill 😂) but I’m sure you’re fine.

ChinChilly · 29/03/2021 07:51

@Lovebug06 don’t feel embarrassed here, we’ve all been there! Hope you’re feeling brighter today.

@mrsmacmc hope LOD and the easter egg hit the spot!

@Kay00 I hate glossing, ours all needs redoing and I’m dreading it!

@minipilling I’m not sure how that would effect anything I’m afraid!

I think it’s safe to say I’ve ovulated, a few days later than normal we’ll see if my temp stays up over the next few days 🤞🏼

Hey everyone, weird question! I was going to take a break from TTC for a bit so I took one progesterone pill last night and one the night before. But I checked my OPK again today and I was still at peak so I decided to have sex tonight, give it another go. I didn't take the pill this evening, just the previous two. Will those two pills hinder potential fertilisation or not? I know taking them was a silly thing to do if I wasn't sure, but I thought I had decided on a break and had a last minute panic :/

Please note I would choose to stay off the pill and use condoms during any break instead, but being off the pill is very painful due to my endometriosis, so entirely pointless if I'm not TTC.

Kay00 · 28/03/2021 22:54

Sounds like a good plan @lovebug06! Got everything crossed for you x

Lovebug06 · 28/03/2021 22:24

@mrsmacmc thankyou ❤️ I'm just having a bit of a nervous and crazy evening before AF is due I think!

@Kay00 thankyou. I can't even imagine it happening, I chill out about it then I get to AF being due and I just feel desperate. I'm so dreading tommorow. I will just wait for AF to show but If by some miracle it doesn't come tommrow I'd test Tuesday maybe?

Kay00 · 28/03/2021 21:56

@mrsmacmac damn, those post vab symptoms sound rough 😳 hope you're feeling better soon!

And yes, glossing is the WORST! And I have three stories of spindles, bannister and skirting to do 😫😆

@lovebug06 I would be absolutely delighted for you if this is your bfp... after 15 cycles! I have never been pregnant before so can't confirm or deny the aching feeling is a good sign 🤞🤞🤞 when are you going to test?

mrsmacmc · 28/03/2021 21:00

@FlyingGiraffe and @ChinChilly

It's sneaky fatigue. Keep thinking I'm OK then try and do a simple task like hanging washing on the cuddy which left me wabbit! Looking forward to my Easter egg and LoD. Dozed off after dinner and DH was warned to make sure I was awake for 9 ❤️

@Lovebug06 hugs I can't offer up any advice you aren't mad at all and no need to feel embarrassed ❤️❤️

Lovebug06 · 28/03/2021 19:58

Hiya all, hope you've had a good day today.

This is going to sound ridiculous, I know.
I can't also remember if any of you already have children before this? If so, can I ask something.
Do you guys know what I mean by when AF is near you get a kind of ache down there?
If so, I have had this a little this evening, along with the cramps on and off for a couple of days.
I'm 13dpo.i know what this means.
But I am right now so badly wanting someone to tell me they had this just before they got their BFP.
I used pre seed for the first time, I have come out in spots since ovulation randomly. I have told myself over and over AF will arrive, but I have stupidly allowed hope in due to these two new things and now I know tommrow shall be even more crushing.
So I don't know why I'm even posting this😂 and I know I look mad, but I am feeling tearful and silly because I'm clutching at straws.
15 cycles later. I also had a year before that before doctors would allow me to try due to medical reasons, so this is killing me inside.
I need some hope for tommorow, even though its ridiculous.

Sorry for this, I'll be embarrassed later😂

FlyingGiraffe · 28/03/2021 19:37

@MissC07 thanks for the reminder about LOD! Although like @mrsmacmc said, I hope it's a bit more exciting tonight!

@ChinChilly I totally have the Sunday night dread. Although I had forgotten about the long weekend coming up so thank God for that! I do love a short week! Have fun tonight! Sounds like a great evening! 😉

Sorry to hear you've been having a down week @TheHotelCalifornia. The long cycles that some of you girls have must be so frustrating. Great commitment to dtd every day though! 🤞 ovulation happens soon for you.

@mrsmacmc hope the fatigue doesn't last long. Enjoy your Easter egg!

ChinChilly · 28/03/2021 19:01

@mrsmacmc my parents have both had thier vaccines and said the fatigue was unreal, my grandparents have had both of thier’s and had zero side effects both times. Easter egg chocolate definitely tasted better than normal chocolate!

mrsmacmc · 28/03/2021 18:56

@ChinChilly that sounds AMAZING! I'm hoping I've got off lightly with the vaccine side effects it's the crushing fatigue that's wiped the feet from me. DH nipped out earlier on to get mash to go with dinner and came back with a small Easter egg so that'll be my LoD snacky snack.

I get the Sunday night dread just now too it's feeling very ground hog day. Grateful I'm off tomorrow & tues and then it's a short push till Easter weekend ❤️❤️
