I have pcos and ovulate later in my cycle between cd18-cd22 I generally have a 31-35 day cycle....

Cycle 20 for us this cycle

I won't be testing until 29th April.... that seems so far away 😂😂😂

Iwas very hit and miss with my BBT this month I'm going to make sure I'm on point with it this cycle and I'll be starting my OPKS from cd 16.

I've ordered some myo-inositol that I'm going to start from today and I've just ordered some preseed and we will DTD every other day from cd 14 upto cd 18 then every day till cd 24....

Well that's the plan anyways 😁

Hi ladies! Hope you're all doing well. Please help. I have just done a test and I think it may be a positive!?! I truly am not sure if I can belive my eyes at this stage of the game though. Please help!

@PintOfWinePlz yeah I'm okay today cd9 I'm waiting on opks being delivered sat I'll start them soon as they come I dont ov until after cd16+ anyways 😁

@Goblet93 yeah that's a good idea! I'd be lost without temping coz I've got pcos so I can have surges without actually ovulating xxx

@buckingmad congrats!

@Bellabeemarie sorry to hear, I have everything crossed for you this month and hope this month you get your bfp. My af came in the end but not sure what the days of spotting was about! I’ve started opks this month as I’m not sure what day my new cycle actually started so at least I’ll have a better idea of what’s going on

PintOfWinePlz · 03/05/2023 18:15

@buckingmad congrats!! Keeping everything crossed for you!

@Bellabeemarie I know, that feeling of 'its never going to happen' is the worst. I logically know it's the same chance every month if there's nothing wrong but some days (like today!) I can let it get under my skin and I don't even want to dtd. Nothing wrong with having a wee cry when you need one but hope you're mostly managing to keep your chin up, it's a rubbish road to be on.

@buckingmad 😍😍😍😍❤ congratulations hunni awww so happy for you I can imagine your anxious I hope you manage to calm down a little and enjoy your amazing bfp!!!

I cant wait to get my bfp feels like it wont ever happen, I'm sure it will were a few months off 2 yrs ttc and some months I manage to brush it off and others its soooo hard i think this months going to be a hard one I can feel it already last month I had a little cry but was over with it before long but I'm already feeling gutted about seeing another BFN and it's only cd 8🤣🤣🤣🤣😱

@Goblet93 try the boots early tests. They’re pink dye and 2 for £6ish. I’ve used them a few times now and they’ve not given me a hint of a line unless I’ve been pregnant. This was my boots test at 9/10dpo ish.

I’m on so many threads I forgot to update this one 😂 I got my BFP on Sunday! Done a couple of tests since and lines are getting darker and a digital confirmed it on Monday. Trying not to be too anxious after my miscarriage but failing 😂

@Goblet93 how did your cycle go?

CD 8 today SMEP starts today!we DTD yesterday too tho just because we wanted to 😂😂😂

I'm actually looking forward to this cycle apart from the sex on schedule 😱😫🤣 I can imagine it being stressful if you miss a day ect lol but I want to atleast try it xxx

@Bellabeemarie that sounds good, a month of no worrying. Wow your fiance has been busy, how exciting that you’re renovating. Fingers crossed for May!

I’m pretty sure I’m out, my horrific af pains have started even though my spotting stopped yesterday and then started again the morning! Whyyyy do our bodies do such strange things, but I’m glad to at least know (although all the negative tests should have been a giveaway 😂)

@mickey1121 I know what u mean hun I've had a few with them! I've got 3 in the cupboard but unless I get a undeniable faint line on ic I wont be using them xxxx

mickey1121 · 27/04/2023 19:39

@Bellabeemarie thank you! Feeling more human today, it's the 3rd time I've had it in 6 weeks! Going to try and hold off until 10dpo, or even longer if I can, but I only have the ic tests as I didn't want to use FRERs again after the indents I had a couple of cycles ago 😳 x

@mickey1121 ahhh hope your feeling better soon hun and ohhh only one more week!when will you test! Excitinggggg!xxx

@Bellabeemarie sorry to hear AF arrived! Hope you have a positive cycle and fingers crossed this cycle is your BFP ☺️ x

I'm 7dpo today and trying not to symptom spot, I've been surprisingly relaxed this past week as I think I've just learnt to expect the worst, also had a horrid case of the flu so feel like my chances are low anyway, still a week away until AF x

Goblet93 · 27/04/2023 13:09

@Bellabeemarie sorry to see af came although not unexpected x

thank you will do, still the same for me, negative tests on cheapies (although not sure how good they are tbh) and spotting only. Af is taking her time 😂😂 I’ve got some frer coming tomorrow though so will test over the weekend if I’ve not properly come on by then! Frer have got more expensive and more difficult to get hold of, anyone found the same??? I don’t trust blue dye as I’ve had evaps with them before x

@Goblet93 AF just got me lol atleast I know after my dip it can come the following day and not to overthink it 😁 Cd1 for me now

I hope it's not AF for u hun Keep us updated xxx

OP posts:
Goblet93 · 26/04/2023 12:59

@Bellabeemarie I did on an ic, still negative and the spotting has got a bit heavier so I’m using a tampon, it hasn’t properly got going yet though. I’m usually in a lot of pain as well with af, that hasn’t started either! I’m telling myself it’s probably af and I’ll see how the next few days go 😬 thanks for checking in x

That’s so strange about your chart, wonder what will happen with tomorrows reading if af hasn’t come by then!

buckingmad · 26/04/2023 11:35

@Bellabeemarie ooh not heard of that, sounds a bit more reliable than thermometers then.

I hate cycles like that! Fingers crossed it goes one way or the other soon!

@buckingmad I use ovusense it takes your core temp over a period of hours and then its downloaded to my app I couldnt use a standard thermometer it was a mess my chart when I did because I would not take it properly lol

No not took a test since mon it was bfn then I've got non in although I have 2 frer and ic coming today, I dont think I'm pregnant I'm just waiting on AF only thing different this cycle is I've had sore boobs past few days they feel so tender I usually get sensitive nipples before o and before AF but it's my actual boobs that are sore this cycle and again usually when I get a drop like yday af shows same day and I get bad backache and period pains I need to use hot water bottle and painkillers but that's not here yet all I've had is really sharp pain on my left side by felt like it was more in my back that uterus.... I really have zero Hope's of a BFP I think I'm just having a wonky cycle xxxx

OP posts:
buckingmad · 26/04/2023 11:26

@Bellabeemarie I always take my temps with a touch of salt. It looks like a huge drop but in reality it's 0.2 of a degree difference. Have you done a test?

Original poster
Bellabeemarie · 26/04/2023 10:45

@Goblet93 have you tested again?

I dont know wtf is going on with my temp this cycle! Usually I would have had AF yday ive never been able to take my temp the day after a big dip like yday because AF would have shown within the day 😩 I've been trying to see if I can feel my usual backache/AF cramps but they arnt here its annoying me I just want AF so I can get on with nx cycle.... were going to try SMEP 😁

Cd1 anyone like to join me for April's cycle?
