jpeg - cd22 and no o? Do you normally have long cycles?

I'm adding my stats so I can be included on the next list :) Cycle #4, ETD 19th May

jpeg28 · 14/05/2016 09:46

Sooz it's my first real cycle since miscarriage so guessing it's all a bit screwed up. My temps are still low but I'm convinced my cervix is high soft and open! Hopefully I am ovulating late rather than not at all!

Dustycorners · 14/05/2016 10:49

Sorry for the bfn seahawk, but you're not definitely out until AF arrives. I usually have regular cycles but have occasionally had strange long ones. We don't really notice these things in such detail until we're ttc!

jpeg I had a couple of long/strange cycles after mmc with random ovulation dates, so it could just be your body needing to settle down again, as it were. Fx there's an egg on the loose soon!

SoozC · 14/05/2016 12:28

I'm sorry for your mc jpeg. Definite fx for a sticky bean for you x

jpeg28 · 14/05/2016 15:16

Thanks dusty and sooz just wish I knew what was going on!! I'll just try and dtd as much as possible just in case I ovulate late!

Tabitha78 · 14/05/2016 17:09

Congratulations on the BFPs so far this month! I'm back from holiday on cd22. Didn't track this month and no idea when i ovulated so will wait to see if AF turns up on cd27. Have read that jetlag/travel screws up ovulation so am expecting to be late

Seahawk80 · 14/05/2016 20:51

Thanks everyone, will wait and see! Tabitha that's interesting about jet lag, I had to go to Bangkok twice in 3 weeks for work so maybe that's why I'm over the place!
Good luck to everyone xx

Babybee88 · 14/05/2016 22:37

Congrats to all the BFPs!! Grin I'm on holiday in Florida atm, think I ovulated the day we travelled but my temps have been all over the place Confused hopefully it's just down to the time difference and different climate. 6dpo here and don't feel at all different from normal so expecting a BFN next week.

Kellz92 · 15/05/2016 00:00

Thanks Gin he said he will be coming next time. So I'm happy with that.

seahawk sorry for the bfn!

Hope everyone else is well xx

Is anyone else finding the TWW a bit painful?! Time isn't really dragging in general but I'm getting really impatient to know now! I'm only about 5dpo! I'm hoping I'll be better in future cycles Hmm

SoozC · 15/05/2016 08:23

Definitely dragging, Sunny! I'm 9dpo, bfn yesterday but I feel like I'm pregnant (not that I have been before but it's what I imagine it's like). Not going to test today.

SunnyDays1987 · 15/05/2016 08:32

What are your symptoms Sooz?

frobskottle · 15/05/2016 11:26

Yup my tww is dragging by too. Pretty sure ovulation was on the 11th so only 4dpo. Will test on the 26th if I can hold out until then. When is your etd Sunny and Sooz?
Because I don't track my cycles we're still regularly DTD just incase don't want to miss anything important!

SoozC · 15/05/2016 11:28

I'll give you a complete run-down, Sunny! Grin
4dpo right pelvic pain and trouble sleeping with vivid dreams when I did.
5dpo more vivid dreams and nausea around 9pm. I ate a bowl of granola and an hour late felt both nauseous and hungry!
6dpo I awoke in the night with really bad cramps. Tried to poo but couldn't (tmi sorry)!
7dpo more vivid dreams. Had tight, full pressure in my pelvis just above my pubic hair pretty much all day, slight backache.
8dpo twinges in my lower abdomen, am odd full/hungry/sick feeling most of the day, slight backache. BFN pm.
9dpo (today) gassy but little else.

So if I'm not, which I'm probably not, my body has given me a weird luteal phase this month!

SoozC · 15/05/2016 11:30

frobs, FF says Thursday, Ovia says Wednesday, I say tomorrow! 😆

SunnyDays1987 · 15/05/2016 11:41

Frob I'd be testing on 23rd ish if no AF! We were going to keep going too but DS started sleeping like shit so we were too tired and my EWCM dried up and my cervix closed so I'm guessing OV happened whilst we were still regularly DTD anyways.

Sounds like a lot of symptoms there Sooz. I've been having really vivid dreams too. I even shouted out the other night which is really unlike me. I'm definitely having a luteal phase unlike any others I've had too but might well be my body playing tricks. Annoying isn't it! When are you testing then?!!

GinandJazzHands · 15/05/2016 11:54

Ooh sooz and sunny that sounds exciting - really hoping your different symptoms are good signs! I always seem to get sore boobs, the odd cramp, general moodiness/emotions and the odd crazy dream during my regular luteal phases so hoping for something different to obsess over when I finally OV next time. I love a symptom spot! There's a good website called two weekwait.com where people post their symptoms by dpo before a BFP. Lots of overly religious comments (of course that's fine and each to their own, just not my style) but I can lose hours on there reading during the 2ww!

SoozC · 15/05/2016 11:59

I read that site too, Gin! Loads of dpo symptom stories!

Sunny, I will test tomorrow then Wednesday then Friday if no af. But I am assuming af will turn up, despite the unusual symptoms. I really can't be heartbroken again, I take it too hard. It is so annoying, I'm with you there!

SunnyDays1987 · 15/05/2016 12:16

Ooh I'm off to check the website! I'll do anything to pass the time!!

I'm really hoping not to be too bothered if AF arrives. I'm going to write a list as the time approaches of all the reasons why it wouldn't be the end of the world if I'm not pregnant this month! Hopefully it'll help if I feel shit!

Is it just the higher level of progesterone that make you feel a bit different in the second half of your cycle then?

SoozC · 15/05/2016 12:23

That's a good idea, Sunny, I'll steal that one if I may. I really need to stay positive! If I'm down it ends up affecting my DP and makes me feel worse :(

SunnyDays1987 · 15/05/2016 12:30

Yeah I'm trying not to tell my DH too much because it really affected me last time so I've promised to stay calm about it all this time....! What cycle are you on again?

jpeg28 · 15/05/2016 12:31

Sooz that's a lot of symptoms! I hope you get you're BFP... For me when I got pg it was the boobs that gave it away! Normally before af they are heavy but when I was pg they were so sore I could barely touch them!!

I just got my first positive OPK since my MC... Cd23. So looks like I'll test for my BFP on the 29th/30th may! Determined to test before the month is up!!

SoozC · 15/05/2016 13:05

Sunny, cycle #4. You?

Thanks jpeg, I caved and tested just now, bfn. I have to much time on my hands at the weekend!

SunnyDays1987 · 15/05/2016 13:18

Great news on the positive OPK Jpeg! Hope you have plenty of time for DTD.

Only cycle 1 for me Sooz. DS was conceived on cycle 2 though, and most people I know in RL conceived their second faster than their first so DH is convinced I'll be pregnant this month. No pressure then....Hmm. Boooo to the BFN! Are you using ICs?

frobskottle · 15/05/2016 13:24

Sunny Really on the 23rd? I'm due on my AF on the 24th I thought. Would I have to use an early response to test then?
Good luck. will head to that website and check it out sounds fun.
When I get negatives at the moment my main positive is that I didn't ever really want a baby close to christmas but that's getting further away now. Just want to have not too big an age gap between #1 and #2 so find that hardest to deal with especially after mc that would have meant us having one with a
