[LeannieRVN]

As promised! Cycles buddies for end of may BFPs
Thought we could post stats and I'll make a list to ref to if you guys like? Put as much or little as you like (or nothing, no pressure!)
Here's mine!
Cycle 3
TTC 1
BFP due 24th-28th (little irregular lately)
Age 40

Hi ladies, can i joint,im all over the show. Came off bcp jan,my ovaries are currently having a party that the rest of my body hasnt been invited to. First cycle was 28 days, c2 was 51 days (shitty) cycle three ov symptoms started cd 11, continued through to Cd14, thought we had bloody cracked it, then cd15 i start spotting, think its too heavy to be ov bleeding, its doing off now after five days. Shit shit shit....so c3 is 15days long, guess i didnt ov and im now on cd5 instead of cd18.

Age: 31
Cycle: Bit complicated, came off Yasmin in august, fell in September, mc in October. Only had two periods since then.
CD: either 16 or 60, depending on whether last show was spotting or light period
TTC #1

Welcome to you both! Bloody bcp messes everything up doesn't it. I'm
Never going back on mine again. Feel better without it. Good luck to you both!

When are people approximately testing? Based on estimated ovulation? Very excited to symptom spot stupidly early with you all

Thanks Smurf. Wow you've really been through it. Sounds like your gp is well organised, better to get the referral in now than leave it- although hopefully something will happen in the interim! Fx for you

Oohh 1000, I'm so sad to read that. I hope you're bearing up alright. It's such a disappointment and loss.
Sorry I've not posted for a few days. I work long stints all together and if they're busy shift I'm too mentally drained to concentrate. It's all about eating, sleeping and working sometimes.

Lovely to meet you, people!

Sorry that you've been through the mill smurf. Your GP sounds like a good'un though! I really admire you positivity. Good luck for this month!

My BFP is due arounf tge 26-28th. I'm testing from the 24th officially- this might be sibject to revision when impatience kicks in!

I'm CD 11 and just notice (TMI alert) a pink tinge in CF. I ov CD 17 usually so I'm a bit condfused- think it's too early for ov spotting (which I've never had before).
Other than that, nothing to report!

Hi! Jumping over from last thread :) stats below

TTC#1
Age 29
Cycle 9
CD11

I have rather irregular cycles and this month marks 1 year since we started TTC. Although I am only on cycle 9 as I had 3 months Nov, Dec, and Jan when I didn't ovulate or have a AF at all for unknown reasons! Hope we get lots of BFPs on this thread!!

I won't be testing till I'm late - my cycle varies between 26 and 30 days, so could be testing for a week and still get a wrong answer!

How have i only just found this thread Leannie? Nice name for it ;)

So i hope you ladies are having better luck than i am.. currently 12 days over due AF, BFN's all around. I either ovulated late and I'm being stung with a 4ww.. or i didnt ovulate at all..

Rarely having lightning bolts up my lady garden though x

Hello happy and pocket! nice to have you with us

What cycle are you on pocket?

Irregular cycles are the worst aren't they flame- although it's hard I would leave it to test, although you should see results after 14dpo I would have thought? My cycle can be up to 39 days

When are people due to test? Because of long cycles I won't test this month so I'm living my poas addiction through you lot! Hope there's some positives here.

leannie you must be knackered. My dh is usually delirious after 4 night shifts.

@1000 im on cycle 2 still :( i should be on cycle 3 by now but im either 12 days late or 12dpo. Depending on if opk picked up late ovulation or pregnancy. Can safely say its driving me nuts!!

Hi happybus best of luck xx

Lol pocket, I did wonder where you were. Glad you found us! Feeling bad for you that you've not had an answer yet. So cruel all this waiting around wondering.

Yes 1000, my shifts can be a bummer to handle. We are supposed to go to bed but if sonething needs us, well stay up, which means two shift merger in one long 34 hour one. I love the work though, and the team so it's worth it.
I'm due my BFP on around the 26th (3 different apps varying cycle predictions). I'm currently trying poas 3x a day. The last two months I got a LH positive on d16. How about you?

My OH has just driven 1.5 hours to make his delivery! . We managed it on Tuesday also, so fertile window success so far, and still 2 days to go!

Finally changed my username and I've got a bit of a conundrum, first DC was a happy accident so this is my first time "trying" I was trying to label it as not trying not to but after 1 month of that I've gone full on crazy!

TTC#2
C2
CD - that's the question
Test/AF 19th May

So according to the science I should have ovulated last week, however after a very "exciting" start to the week and expecting to OV on Weds the symptoms just weren't there, really busy weekend and this week (Weds) I have full on OV symptoms, bloated, pain, EWCM the lot, have dutifully DTD every other day to combat errors but whilst my cycle is pretty much like clockwork would my OV dates change?

It's all a bit wait and see I guess but I'm a bit of a control freak and like to know where I'm at!

So i have a blood test booked for Tuesday as still no AF. But last night i got some cramps in the middle of my lower abdomen and stretchy egg white cm?
Does this mean im waaaay late in ovulating and I'm possibly ovulating now? I did the baby dance last night and this morning anyway for good measure. Im currently 16 days past when i was supposedly due AF! Still BFN's x

I would say it sounds like you're both ovulating! I would personally go by symptoms rather than when an app or whatever says.

Pocket- you hold the record for the longest cycle I think!

Absolutely crazy! How can i only just be potentially ovulating?!
And 2ww? More like 6ww at this rate! :(

Hi ladies,
Could I join you - I'm due on May 18th so 8DPO here trying for my first. Desperately trying not to symptom spot (failing) and planning to test on Tuesday (if I can hold out that long!) Good luck and baby dust to everyone!

Aargh I knew I should just listen to my body and ditch the tech! Will see what happens next and keep you all posted!

If you really tune in to what's happening you'll be amazed at how noticeable things come. My app says I'll ovulate a week after I reckon I will. I get really hot, cramps. I'm completely ruled by hormones though. I can even tell which ovary it's coming from sometimes! It's how I knew I was pregnant last month before I took a test. Crap really as I'll know again if another doesn't stick.
Pocketit must be driving you mad! I was moabing about a 2.5 week wait.
iam only a few more days to go! Any symptoms?

Hi 1000,
I've had sore nipples for the last 8 days, and cramps on and off but that's it. Also bloating and a bit of nausea - but think that's because I'm on holiday and eating too much!!! So not really sure what it means if anything. Decided I'm going to POAS tomorrow so fingers crossed!!

@100 honestly hun i feel like I'm gona be taken by the men in white coats!
Its the not knowing. Now I'm wondering if its worth having my blood test tuesday because if I'm ovulating this week, its not going to show a thing :(
Wish i was intune with my body as you seem to be :'(

Good luck iam let us know how you get on!

pocket I'm sorry, it must feel awful not knowing. Would the blood test be affected if you were ovulating? I'd go and see what they say. Have you come off the pill recently? That can play havoc with things.
It's not always so good to be in tune. I've had to go on the pill before to stop having ovulation pain as it can get so bad, and I've had awful periods. I just feel it all 150%. Good and bad I suppose. Let us know how you get on at the doctors

No hun, had implant out beginning of December. When i had my implant out before i caught pregnant straight away with my DS. Although im thinking the cramps may have been AF. im not bleeding yet but my discharge has gone like a browny colour "/ x

BFN at 10DPO this morning. Gutted to be honest as we did everything right this month so I really thought we had a good chance

@iamchanging 10dpo still can be quite early hun. So the saying goes, you're not our until AF shows. Im currently 17 days late for AF and unsure what dpo i am now.

That must be so frustrating! Did you decide on your blood test in the end?

Yes hun, having one on Tuesday. All tests so far have shown BFN. But I'm thinking i ovulated later. Had a few brown spots in discharge yesterday and the day before thay had cramps so think AF is getting me. Haiving a 6ww not a 2ww haha x
