Another month, another period. I was due af yesterday but had no sign but today I've had brown tinged cm so she'll be here tomorrow.

Anyone else out for March already? Feel free to join in my misery lol

Hi boat- well before we started TTC, they were between 30 and 35 days, usually around 33. Since we started, and I started taking a conception multivitamin, they've gone: 32, 19, 28, 27, 27.

Which is actually super weird now I think of it- would multivs make that much difference?

I've never had cycles this short in my life before, I'm assuming it's not as sign anythings wrong, and I assume the multivs wouldn't have a negative effect.

Do you have PCOS as well?

AppalazianWalzing · 28/03/2017 21:39

Also: your pic is darker than anything I got on an OPK! I've heard they don't work with PCOS, but I thought that was because they
Made it look like you were constantly ovulating, whereas I just got faint unchanging lines

ifeellikechickentonight · 28/03/2017 21:41

My cycles got a lot shorter recently too! They were 31-33 but now 26 like clockwork. Since about the time I started taking folic but I wouldn't have thought that would make a difference?

boatrace30 · 28/03/2017 21:53

Yep I also have pcos. Taking folic, vit d and agnus castus up to ovulation. Your cycle lengths sound promising, my lines are normally very faint, but I feel like this is accurate as have ewcm and my temp dipped this morning Just have to hope now my luteal phase is long enough.

BlueSpottyTiger · 28/03/2017 21:54

Welcome Smile
I've been taking pregnany vits for 27months now and since having DD my cycles are 26 days i can't remember what they were before but i feel like they were much longer, i feel like i have af too frequent now lol i dont know is that has anything to do with vits though!?

boatrace30 · 28/03/2017 21:57

Oh and appalazian. I'm TTC #2. So it is possible. Took 5months with her.

Oysterbabe · 29/03/2017 07:02

Not positive yet but getting there. I'm going to do another this afternoon.

April Bus: All aboard!
Oysterbabe · 29/03/2017 07:28

Did everyone who wanted to manage to DTD? We did although it was an effort to make myself rather than just go to sleep!

boatrace30 · 29/03/2017 07:43

Yep, we managed to... and thanks for posting your opks. Mine is exactly like your darker one, so maybe not quite there. Will do another couple today.

boatrace30 · 29/03/2017 08:03

Whoop! Definitely got it this morning Grin

April Bus: All aboard!
Aggy106 · 29/03/2017 08:05

Good luck everyone, I'm CD 10 today, anyone else similar? Going to start with the opks tonight (though probably too early!). I had some spotting yesterday, not sure what that was as AF finished on Saturday, does anyone else get spotting like this? I didn't before my mmc so wondering if that's got something to do with it. Thanks x

Aggy106 · 29/03/2017 08:07

Good work boatrace have fun!

Oysterbabe · 29/03/2017 08:11

Good news Boatrace Smile

Carlotta82248 · 29/03/2017 08:15

Girls this made me laugh, my OH has been great, it's me that struggles! I work 13 hour days and come home feeling about as sexy as death! Anyone use the work them up til the last min and hop on approach?! BlushAlso 1 to 2 dpo here, feel we've tried hard this month but we shall see, going to continue 2 to 3 times per week as per GP advice and see what happens but tonight.....stay on your side of the bed boy Wink

boatrace30 · 29/03/2017 09:27

Haha Smile. I'm definitely guilty of a bit of fake excitement!!

Justwaitingforaline · 29/03/2017 09:31

Aggy never too early to start tracking! I started at CD 9 this month and thank god I did as I got my positive on CD11!

According to Ovia, my fertile window has come to an end. I'm now on CD 15 and we managed to DTD 7 times within it which I am astounded by. My cycles are usually 26/27 days but last month was 31 due to a chemical pregnancy. It'll be hard, but after two chemicals, I vowed to try not to early test if I can help it.

Carlotta82248 · 29/03/2017 10:31

Well done @Justwaitingforaline we did 6! Retirement now hahahaha x

Justwaitingforaline · 29/03/2017 11:01

Carlotta DP asked if we could carry on and pretend that I'm ovulating all the time, it was a resounding no from me!

Carlotta82248 · 29/03/2017 12:49

So me @Justwaitingforaline and @MotherofUnicorns are all starting the 2WW, anyone with us? X

Justwaitingforaline · 29/03/2017 13:24

Now, when do I count DPO from? Is it positive OPK?

Forevertimes · 29/03/2017 14:44

Oyster- nope, he was like a zombie when he got home and crawled straight into bed... I hopped in to try and change his mind and got "you can't be serious?!" Hahaha

Carlotta- maybe I would've had more success with that method!

I have had AF type cramps for the last 3 days now so when I approached dh about last nights failed attempt he said 'I think you're pregnant already'.

So on to my first TWW.... any tips?

boatrace30 · 29/03/2017 15:14

justwaiting - no, as you haven't necessarily ovulated yet. Could be 48hrs after the positive. Are you temping too? That will tell you when you have ovulated.

As for the 2ww, no tips other than don't symptom spot and don't go google crazy. All of which I do every time!

So I just did another opk and still very positive. Is this normal? How long should I keep getting positives?

BlueSpottyTiger · 29/03/2017 15:41

Aggy im cd 10 too. I Started opk's 2days ago x

Carlotta82248 · 29/03/2017 16:37

@Justwaitingforaline I've always counted from the day of OPK which I now know is wrong so I'm counting today as 1dpo. I got my pos on CD13 and today is 16, peaked with my ewcm early but being a few days behind will do me no harm, tried my best to cover all bases x

Bubblegum89 · 29/03/2017 17:32

Anyone else 8dpo? Still not got any pms symptoms. Boobs aren't in agony like they usually are during the tww which I'm thankful for!
