I take it you're still testing for BFP, emily? How weird. I think a couple of people have had weirdly long cycles with no apparent reason recently.

Emilygremily · 24/08/2015 12:35

It is very strange as i have never had a cycle this long before in my entire life, it is always 30 - 36 days on the dot :(

Emilygremily · 24/08/2015 12:37

Im either 4 days late or 11 days late :(

CarrotVan · 24/08/2015 13:11

Might you have ovulated later than expected?

ODog · 24/08/2015 13:18

IIRC, I didn't get a bfp until quite late with my DS. I remember it being way more than 14 days as I had the same thing as you, ie no AF and no bfp. Maybe some people just take longer for their bodies to start producing the hormone that hpt pick up??

Emilygremily · 24/08/2015 13:49

It is a possibility that i have ovulated late i hope i did and that i get my BFP

MrsNuckyT · 24/08/2015 13:50

Emily - so strange that it didn't happen yet. It might by like my weirdly long cycle last month? I wonder if this happens from time to time but we don't notice these things when we are not TTC...?

carrot - is it your scan today? think i had the 24th in my mind!

Emilygremily · 24/08/2015 13:53

I have always monitored my cycle as i like to know when i am due AF and i have never been this late. :(

CarrotVan · 24/08/2015 14:04

It is mrsnucky - in less than 2 hours! I am very, very anxious as I'm a very nervous driver and am having to drive everywhere (and park!) as MrVan is working away and I can't make my childcare work with my usual train commute. All these nerves together aren't helping me.

I feel very tense and tearful and will be glad to get home with the boy after the hospital visit. In some ways I wish I'd kept the appointment to this Friday and taken the boy and then I could have walked. I dread to think what my blood pressure will be!

Wish me luck for parking at the hospital

Much luck, carrot

CarrotVan · 24/08/2015 15:48

I made it safely. And there's a tiny 3.2mm pole in a yolk sac with a heartbeat!!!

Emu123 · 25/08/2015 11:58

Congrats carrot that's fantastic news!!! Apologies I meant to wish u luck yesterday but the site shut down!!!!

Hello all! Just saving a seat in this bus while I collect my bag from the summer bus. I've got rather a lot of catching up to do with both threads but I'll be back... disappears off to scroll through missed messages

Omg carrot that's amazing news! Now we can do a full on, Pom Pom cheering congratulations for you! ????????

ChatEnOeuf · 25/08/2015 14:03

Congrats Carrot!

That's my philosophy, Kitty - I'm also on the JS boards. None of this obsessing well, not much with sticks and shit, my brain has enough to worry about.

Emily, hopefully just a late ovulation, same thing has happened to me, very late BFP. Not out until AF swoops in.

Sorry about the BFN ODog, still early though.

Thisisbonkers · 25/08/2015 14:13

Congratulations, carrot! Star

Spotsondots · 25/08/2015 14:25

Ok, I'm all caught up now! Huge congrats Carrot! Wonderful news. Now you can properly celebrate! ????

ODog, I had random milk leaking a couple of months ago and it freaked me out a bit as I'd stopped feeding around 9 months before. Apparently it's very common though so don't worry. Smile

I am CD 32 of a ?? Day cycle. My longest this year since TTC has been 39 days so I'm not getting excited yet. Last month AF arrived on day 30 so it's anyone's guess what will happen this month. ???? I'm aiming to POAS on 5th September if AF isn't here (ha!) I'll be day 43 by then. Would test sooner but a combo of work, relatives staying and general life stuff means that in reality I probably won't get round to it until then!

Still training for my half marathon, it's in about 5 weeks. Getting a bit nervous. Work is quite full on with lots of rubbish hours the next few weeks. Hoping I can fit in enough training...

pulpi · 25/08/2015 15:55

POAS this morning. Didn't even bother waiting for the result before it was in the bin. Spotting immediately after. Was convinced it was AF. Now 8 hours on and just tiny amounts of brown spotting. So holding onto a glimmer of hope. Mom had light spotting throughout her pregnancies that would have coincided with her period if she wasn't pregnant. Boobs still very tender, face as spotty as a teenagers... But just in case, I'm reserving my place on the September bus.


Pulpi, 33, Cycle 9, ttc#1, af due 29 September

Banana79 · 25/08/2015 16:22

Congratulations Carrot!!

Sounds exxiting Pulpi?

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 25/08/2015 17:37

Congrats Carrot!

I don't think this is going to be my month. BFN this afternoon at 13dpo. AF should be arriving tomorrow if my charting has been right - if I don't get a temp drop first thing then I will test again with FMU, but I don't think it's likely. I am a bit worried I might have cocked up my temping and miscalculated my ovulation date, actually. But we will see!

Sizzle1981 · 25/08/2015 17:42

Congrats Carrot!!! Wonderful news x

pulpi · 25/08/2015 17:44

Congrats carrot! So happy for you!

I'm cautiously optimistic, Banana, but with enough sense to know that AF is likely just a day away. Le sigh. But there's always a bottle of wine downstairs to help the week pass more quickly...

CarrotVan · 25/08/2015 18:49

The outage meant I couldn't update properly but my lovely EPU are also doing a 9week scan for me

Keeping everything crossed for you all
