I think Agnus Castus is the herbal supplement people take for regulating/lengthening cycles? I don't know anything about it myself but I've seen the name on quite a few boards.

Thanks birchy. Really helpful thanks!

daisylassy · 23/07/2015 20:59

Thank you I will have a look... I was ok with the 25 days but last cycle was so short (21/22 days) I want to see if the same happens this month then I can try and do something about it... Thanks folks x

lilygirl81 · 24/07/2015 09:04

Hi MissPerrp8 you are testing about the same time as me.

Managed to dtd last night, but we are heading to my parents tonight until Sunday, so I think there will be 2 days with nothing, but that should be ok I think, they will be cd 9 & 10so hopefully , if we manage on Sunday and most of next week, I should be covered...

My bumper pack of 10 tests arrived yesterday, feels much better to know they are in the cupboard

CarrotVan · 24/07/2015 09:21

Welcome misspepper there's a bunch of us testing around then

pingoose · 24/07/2015 09:28

Welcome misspepper, the middle of August looks like a busy time for this bus!
lilygirl CD11 onwards should be good!

Only on CD6 here today, still waiting for AF to finish. I hate all the waiting!

lilygirl81 · 24/07/2015 09:35

pingoose hopefully you are almost through AF. It's incredible how much waiting about there is when ttc, all for about a week of frantic activity

Mummydearest90 · 24/07/2015 09:39

Well I'm only on CD3 now and I'm envious of those of you with your super short cycles!

This is now my 4th month TTC. Sorry if this is TMI but my OH often doesn't ejaculate through sex/or anything some days and if that's on my fertile day... I'm stuffed Confused

Another positive opk today but also right side ovulation pain. So think it's happening today. The 4 months we've been trying I've never had this from the right side always the left! Hope this is lucky :)
Dtd but wasn't pleasant, needs must Wink

3Princes99 · 24/07/2015 11:57

Crunchy, Wilkos do cheap opk's.
Pack of 5 for about £2

Laura103 · 24/07/2015 12:10

Hi everyone! I've already posted my stats!
First month trying and despite trying to be relaxed and see what happens I'm reading into so many signals and symptoms! I'm sure it's nothing and I know were unlikely to conceive so soon, it's only my first cycle off the pill! Haven't had a proper cycle for 13 years and I can't remember what they used to be like! Got another 5 days until I can test.
Is anyone else in the same boat? ????

Poundland and Quality Save do opks too. I get mine from Home Health on Amazon and they are usually next day delivery even though it says 3-5 days.

Emu123 · 24/07/2015 13:39

Cd12 today and feeling a bit down about it all. I usually start getting ewcm around now and then ovulate around day 15 but it's still creamy/wet. Do u think it's still worth dtd tonight? Have convinced myself I'm not going to ovulate this month Sad

daisylassy · 24/07/2015 14:03

Go for it Emu!! You never know!!????

KittyandTeal · 24/07/2015 16:52

Oh yes birchy.

Age: 33 still :)
Cycle #3
Ttc #3

It's all about the 3s this month. It's my lucky number too so fx for this month (I'm not actually that woo)

KittyandTeal · 24/07/2015 16:52

Sorry

Testing around 18th aug

PallasCat · 24/07/2015 18:08

CD7 here and AF over (lasted longer than usual... don't know if that will alter cycle length...?) so getting back to TTC this weekend. Cycle 3, and FX the first cycle where we'll have a reasonable shot, as 1&2 were complicated by health issues. Here's hoping...

Spotsondots · 24/07/2015 19:09

FFS. A effing F has arrived on cd 30. I haven't had a cycle this short for several months! Mightily peeved she has arrived, but hoping this heralds the start of some sort of slightly more regular cycles for me (I had a regular 30-32 day cycle earlier in the year). I'll work out my new stats later. Gutted.

Aufwiedersehenpetrarch · 24/07/2015 19:13

Sorry spots about early AF. Flowers
pallas I don't think it will alter the length of the cycle. It literally is just the amount of endometrial lining and how pushy your uterus was in getting it out. Both can vary.

Banana79 · 24/07/2015 19:30

Sorry Spots.

I need someone to slap me. I'm cd32, so 4 days off poas and I deliberately haven't bought any hpts to stop my self testing early.

However because I got a positive OPK just before AF arrived last month I am obsessively peeing on OPKs to check she isn't imminent, arrgh.
