kellz how long does af stay ?

Lyssie · 08/02/2016 15:15

Good luck to you all!!! Hoping the joy of dtd returns to you. It's often hard to keep in focus that getting it on is supposed to be making love, not merely a means of insemination.

When is everyone set to test? (:

firstgo1984 · 08/02/2016 15:16

mimi yes BFN today. if i consider I may have ovulated last night (based on my cramps late in the evening) then hopefully my thursday evening, sunday morning DTD will have been enough / well timed.

I am on nights this week so pretty much rules dtd out til friday really as all I do is work and sleep!

Mimilicious013 · 08/02/2016 15:35

Fx for u first

Lyssie · 08/02/2016 16:02

Mimi
I'm on my first cycle off bcp(stopped them on 23rd of January, so I'm waiting to test till 23rd of February(though it's hard not to test every week...) I'm feeling as though it will take at least two cycles. I'd only been on bcp for 2 years though, so who knows?

Kellz92 · 08/02/2016 16:05

Mimi around 4-5 days normally

Lyssie Im hoping it does too, last cycle was okay to start with, i was relaxed then i got my peak :L

I was only on the pill for 9 months however i had the implant for 1.5 yrs before that.

Fx to us all.

Im due to test 5th March, think Mimi is the same

xx

Lyssie · 08/02/2016 16:43

giraffes
TTC #3
Cycle 2
CD 1

I know it's was only the first month of trying, but we really gave it everything. I've been waiting for over two years to ttc, what with changing jobs etc. This month would have been perfect for maternity leave. Really pissed off and I've got cramps. I shall sulk at the back of the bus for a couple of weeks.

Kellz92 · 08/02/2016 19:10

Awwwww no giraffes Sad xx

Writerwannabe83 · 08/02/2016 19:13

Hello all, just catching up.

My Coil came out almost two weeks ago, I bled for about 5 days afterwards and now I have no idea what's going on. I think my bleed was the typical withdrawal bleed as opposed to a normal AF so I'm completely clueless as to what my cycle will be up to.

For the last 3 days I've been using OPK's just to see if anything is happening but there's never even been a hint of a line Hmm

GinandJazzHands · 08/02/2016 19:17

Hey first good to hear from you! I wonder if it's OV? I had a few annoying 'nearly theres' on my opk sticks too - was making notes in FF and Ovia - and in hindsight when I got AF I realised from temps and notes that I'd prob OV'd on a nearly there day, CD 27. Massive fx for your BFP - long cycles are so frustrating.
Hey giraffe sorry to see you

Kellz92 · 08/02/2016 19:20

Hi writer I was like that after I stopped the pill a bit. Just keep tracking your cycles and hopefully they will regulate.

I'll sit at the back of the bus if there's wine haha xx

Writerwannabe83 · 08/02/2016 19:26

kellz - I was really lucky with my first Coil as I still had really regular periods when it was in, which made it easier to keep track of things when it came out for TTC purposes.

This is my second Coil and since it went I pretty much bled non-stop for 8 months, then the bleeding started dwindling for a few weeks and then it stopped altogether.

Two completely different experiences (I think it's because I'm still BF'ing DS1) and this 2nd time experience has made everything confusing and so much harder.

FuckOffDavid · 08/02/2016 20:06

Hi can i join?

My stats are
TTC #2
First cycle after implant removal, periods were normal throughout and just finished first period without implant.
CD 7

Concieved DD by accident after contraception failure so hoping this one will be quick.

Nimisha · 08/02/2016 20:52

Shemozzle actually I have a mirena coil. It's been in for four and a half years but I think the hormones are wearing off a bit as I want really having much AF but it's come back recently but really irregular. I was interested to know if I was ovulating but definitely had a temp rise at CD 22.

I'm a once a week girl for dtd. I'm just so exhausted in the evenings.

GiraffesCantDoMentalArithmetic · 08/02/2016 21:08

Not only do I have Wine, I also have pate, stinky cheese and .... erm .... more than the recommended amount of tuna Confused Come and join me on the back seat for the first 2ww of the month! We can lob energy sweets and sports bottle drinks to the people in the middle of the bus busy DTD (like they do in the marathon).

Too many mixed metaphors there. It's left me with quite the mental image. Shock I blame the Wine. Better switch to spirits...

Kellz92 · 08/02/2016 22:12

That was like me with the implant before and after DD

Welcome to my most used saying... My DH is called David lol!!

Giraffe I'm on my way back!!

Xx

GinandJazzHands · 08/02/2016 22:36

CD4 here. Having a glass of port this evening happy to see the departure of the witch. Also sat at the back waving pom-poms to cheer on the ovulaters.

GiraffesCantDoMentalArithmetic · 08/02/2016 22:57

Here gin have some unpasteurised something to go with your port. hic

TinyPawz · 09/02/2016 03:12

Energy drinks and glucose sweeties needed urgently in chezTinyPawz

Tryingtowait · 09/02/2016 05:25

I have coffee if that helps tiny trying to cut caffeine down and gone all night (working) until now without coffee but nearly dropped off so thought I better have one for my clients sakes! 1 is ok.. Some of us seem similar dates if you guys have regularish length cycles. I'm cd 6 today. It's gonna be a long month

Mimilicious013 · 09/02/2016 07:51

Hope you all have a good day!!

Kellz92 · 09/02/2016 12:19

mimi im trying to be healthy too, just cant be bothered lately. haha. Just want junk food xx

Writerwannabe83 · 09/02/2016 20:57

Does anyone here use OPK's and can perhaps give me some advice?

I had my Mirena out 14 days ago and had what I presume to be a withdrawal bleed which lasted about 3-4 days (so finished 10 days ago).

Over the last few days I have been using OPKs (even though I don't fully understand them) and for the previous two days there has been absolutely nothing to see. I used one this afternoon and again, nothing really showed up within 60 seconds or so and so I just left it to one side. However, when I looked a good few hours there was a very definite second line, not as dark as the control line but definitely getting there.

However, do they work like HPTs in that the result is only valid when read within a few minutes? I only have IC sticks and no instructions came with them.

I know that in order for it to be a definite positive the two lines have to be the same strength of colour but how long does it take to typically reach that stage once a second line initially starts to appear?
