78th day of no period....

As the title suggests, I haven't had a period since the 18th October. I came off cerazette at the start of June and have had irregular cycles since but this is by far the longest.

DH and I are TTC and I last took a pregnancy test at the start of December so I'm fairly confident I'm not pregnant (we were both sick after that and didn't have any inclination to DTD).

We finally DTD on 26th and 27th December and yesterday I had really sore breasts and some cramps and EWCM in the morning for the first time in a long time, but we only managed to DTD late last night. Im mildly cramping this morning and have watery CM. These long cycles are so confusing! Is there a chance we might've caught ovulation this month? How long should I wait before testing?

@ReeRee6108 Have you still got them? Send us all a photo x

Karigan1 · 30/01/2018 13:56

Is this on ovulation tests? If you don’t mind me asking how old are you? Some women can have LH in the system all the time due to the body overcompensating for getting older

Karigan1 · 30/01/2018 13:58

Just went right back.... the faint lines are on pregnancy tests right? I thought i positive was still a positive there 🤷‍♀️

ReeRee6108 · 30/01/2018 14:09

Hey guys I have the pictures. Just took another FRER I can't attach through here as still a new member but I will add the links. The other 2 tests I had taken out of the plastic to get a good picture. I have a picture today haven't removed it, it's still very faint quite difficult to see, the display is scratched on this test. It's very faint and pink in colour to my eyes. I will take a digital later tonight

ReeRee6108 · 30/01/2018 14:15

@LifeOfRiley63 ibb.co/fxR8eR tests from Sunday - I removed from original package after about 5 minutes due to not being able to get a clear picture, again these are pink lines in person. Today's test at these links ibb.co/bL7dW6

It wasn't my usual doctor it was the duty one. I broke down in there and was quite emotional as I've been trying with my partner for 7 years. Just turnt 29. Only ever got pregnant once before in my life, this was 4 years ago. Didn't test positive until after CD47. Started bleeding literally 20 minutes after the positive result and it was confirmed as a early mc. I have no children. Hence why this time I really wanted a blood test because I know I don't feel right.

ReeRee6108 · 30/01/2018 14:18

Hi @Karigan1 no this is pregnancy tests first response. The ones my doctor told me to ignore are clear blues apparently they give false positives a lot. I have a picture somewhere I will attach these for you guys.

LifeOfRiley63 · 30/01/2018 14:22

Hmmm, I must say @ReeRee6108 these lines look more like evap lines (I'm sorry). And you should never ever take a test apart as it invalidates the result. (We've all done it)
Are you tracking your ovulation with OPKs or an app?
What are your symptoms? x

ReeRee6108 · 30/01/2018 14:34

@LifeOfRiley63 I thought this but they are pink. I'll just wait for the blood test. If I'm not that's ok, I just want to know so I know what to do next you know. Having all the symptoms but then again I could be imagining it x

ReeRee6108 · 30/01/2018 14:35

@LifeOfRiley63 I stopped tracking everything about 2 years ago. Thought when it's suppose to happen I guess it will I became quite obsessive with it and the disappointment every month was really getting to me. I have headaches nausea, vomiting, sore breast, back pain, my skin is breaking out in rashes and spots, I'm exhausted too. Xx

RebeccaCloud9 · 30/01/2018 15:12

@spadesofglory I had egg white/snot stuff when I came off the pill - maybe a month ish before getting BFP. I'm pretty sure it was the mucus from the cervix that the pill causes. It's one of the things that prevents pregnancy whilst you're on the pill. So if that's come out, you've got more chance!

Loz604 · 30/01/2018 16:04

Got to say ladies- all your ‘keeping it in’ conversation made me look like an idiot laughing in the corner at work 😂
Reeree6108 I do hope you ge positive news soon- if you’ve been trying for 7 years surely they will investigate further x

ReeRee6108 · 30/01/2018 18:32

@Loz604 they have investigated previously, I have visible cysts on ovaries, but my hormone tests have always been normal so they didn't diagnose me with PCOS. I've done 6 cycles on clomid no luck. Then I got pregnant they refused to do anymore testing until 12 Months unsuccessful trying. Had the miscarriage and they won't do any further investigations into that until you have 3 mc's. I am hearing everyone and relating too much. I'm feeling defeated and like I'm going insane. More pics from today's test. I can't believe how shoddy my body is, how can something we were born to do be so hard  feeling super disappointed in myself, just had enough no answers just in la la land.

Loz604 · 30/01/2018 19:37

gosh you’ve really been through it. You need some de-stress time. Maybe a long holiday? Sid’s law says it’ll happen when you’re by trying. ( although I bet it’s never too far from your mind). Wishing you lots of luck x

ReeRee6108 · 30/01/2018 19:42

@Loz604 Blush Thank You I really appreciate your advice. How about you are you trying to conceive also?x

Loz604 · 30/01/2018 21:47

Oh jeez just read all my spelling mistakes in my last post 🤦🏼‍♀️

Very new to ttc #1. Came of Cerazette just before the new year- silly me thought things would return to normal soon after. Have been on the pill for 8 years with no AF- never wanted it to come so badly!

LifeOfRiley63 · 31/01/2018 07:58

Holy shizballs ladies!! I got my first neeeeeearly positive OPK!! Waaahoooo! Grin

gossipgirl28 · 31/01/2018 08:32

@LifeOfRiley63 ooooo that sounds promising! Exciting times! Are you doing them everyday at the same time?

@ReeRee6108 welcome and thanks for sharing your TTC story. Everyone on here offers great advice

@Loz604 I've got a positive feeling you will be like me and something will happen in the next 2 weeks

Xoxo

LifeOfRiley63 · 31/01/2018 08:42

@gossipgirl28 I was but then yesterday I stropped and didn't do any because they were all so faint haha! 😂

LifeOfRiley63 · 31/01/2018 09:25

So, just came back from the Doctors. Sadly AF didn't appear as the legend has it. But I did ask her about all these vitamins I'm taking. She said they key ones that the NHS recommend are Folic Acid, Vitamin D3 and Vitamin B complex. She said I'd need to speak to someone at a herbal shop about the others as they're not regulated.

gossipgirl28 · 31/01/2018 09:27

@LifeOfRiley63 i am on CD7 so yesterday I stocked up on OPK's. Think I will then from CD10 onwards.
I'm going to try the 'sperm meets the egg' theory this month! Was trying to explain it to my OH last night! Ha xoxo

gossipgirl28 · 31/01/2018 09:30

@LifeOfRiley63 have you heard of Agnus Cactus? Check it out- has good reviews for period regulation and you can get it off amazon xoxo

SpadesOfGlory · 31/01/2018 09:34

Woohoo @LifeOfRiley63!! I'm sooo excited for you! Hope you get an actual positive one soon! Mine are all still about half as dark as the control line Confused

Anyway, May be TMI but sure we're all friends here Wink

I'm dry as the Sahara desert! Would normally need to put a pantyliner on but the last 2 or 3 days there has been nothing on my knickers at all. Think im out this month...Ive heard increased discharge is a big sign of pregnancy, But I'm currently cd18 and the polar opposite Confused

LifeOfRiley63 · 31/01/2018 09:35

@gossipgirl28 I've been on it for a few weeks now. Maybe thats spurred things on a bit? Who knows, I'm taking plenty! xx
Good luck with the SMTE theory - fingers crossed!

LifeOfRiley63 · 31/01/2018 09:36

@SpadesofGlory - you never know, it could be the calm before the store and you get a deluge of CM this week!
