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?

Hey @CoconutGal - Whats your story? How long have you been off the pill? Have you had AF since coming off it? x

CoconutGal · 19/01/2018 13:10

@LifeOfRiley63 I was on the depo until December 2016 when it finally wore off. Periods came back 3 months later & have been regular until October 2017 when I had 2 weeks of bleeding & then it changed November 2017 to the 1st of every month. This month I've had nothing, some small spotting that was pink, nausea & headaches regularly now. Been TTC a year.

LifeOfRiley63 · 19/01/2018 13:27

This sounds promising! Are you tracking anything like CM or have your boobs been achey?

Loz604 · 19/01/2018 17:37

@Tinker315b. I’ve had nothing but a dull lower back ache and sensitive boobs, especially in the evening. How long had you been on the pill? I’d been taking cerelle for 8 years (dreading that first AF) and a year of the pill that you take a break with before that x

Loz604 · 19/01/2018 17:38

*nothing recently- last week I had on and off cramping and bloating but not had it recently x

hungryradish · 19/01/2018 17:39

CD 71 - had some cramps again this morning (they always seem to be in the morning) but now they've stopped. That is about as exciting as it gets right now unfortunately Confused

hungryradish · 19/01/2018 18:47

I'm sitting in bed in my dressing gown eating Ben & Jerry's out of the tub. So I'm either pre menstrual or just very stressed...

LifeOfRiley63 · 19/01/2018 19:12

@hungryradish I'm sitting watching One Born Every Minute, going green with envy. X

Tinker315b · 19/01/2018 20:14

@Loz604 Well mines seems to have stopped again, so I get my hopes up and then nothing happens! Very hard to not constantly think about it. I had been on Ovranette for about 11 years so a long time and then i ended up with a cervical erosion because of it, the doctor then changed me on to Cerazette and was on it for a year and half and stopped it in Dec there with no periods at on whilst on it. Wish I had have came of it sooner but because I went on honeymoon at the start of Dec I didn’t want to be stuck with AF, if I had have known it would have taken this long! Let’s hope this arrives in the next few weeks for us at least Smile

Mrsw200 · 19/01/2018 20:24

I said I'd keep updating. I've got my '12 week scan' next weds so I'll update you afterwards as to whether I conceived 2 months and got a very late bfp or whether I just ovulated really late on I guess cd65ish! Which I think is more likely. Still wishing you all the luck in the world and waiting for the next bfp. The symptoms you've all been mentioning are what I had. I gave up with opks in the end as they never once gave a strong positive but was still obviously ovulating, and missed two periods too. So please remember that. Lots of love and I'll let you know how Weds goes xxx

Loz604 · 19/01/2018 21:33

@Tinker315b. AF on honeymoon would have been a bit of a buzz kill! Cervical erosion! Wow! What do we do to our bodies!!! Yes I haven’t had AF for 8 years. At the time I wasn’t thinking about the long term effects and ttc. How exciting @Mrsw200 yes please do keep us up to date. Congratulations xx

Tinker315b · 19/01/2018 21:36

I know @Loz604 you wonder is it worth it! Congratulations @Mrsw200 hope all goes well and yes please keep us updated!

Faintlinesquints · 19/01/2018 22:17

I completely forgot I had posted on this thread! 🙈 Sorry!!

Congratulations @Mrsw200 hope all goes well at the scan!

I haven't had a single bleed since the 15th of November! Think that makes me cd68?
I have sore boobs, crampy tummy and so tired all the time - but I'm too scared (wimpy) to test! Last test I think was just after Xmas which was a bfn... argh I'm going to have to do it aren't I?

LifeOfRiley63 · 19/01/2018 22:20

@Faintlinesquints YESSSS! And post on here straight away!! Xxxx

Loz604 · 19/01/2018 22:22

@faintlinesquints. If you do it at least you’ll know whether to expect AF or not xx

Faintlinesquints · 19/01/2018 22:34

I think as soon as I test ill jinx it and start AF! Silly I know.
Also having a windy tummy which I usually get before af, don't think ive ever been to the toilet so often just to check my knickers!

I dont have any tests in and missed the next day amazon prime.. got a fancy night away with dh this weekend so I'll either get AF just at the wrong time, or ill test.
Just enjoying pretending I'm pregnant right now, does that make me sound like a crazy lady? If I test and bfn i think I'll come crashing down like a tonne of bricks.

Loz604 · 19/01/2018 22:50

Don’t let it kill your mood- no harm in waiting!

CoconutGal · 20/01/2018 01:04

@LifeOfRiley63 - my cm has been watery or egg white the entire time. My boobs have been sore & heavy until a few days ago.

Loz604 · 20/01/2018 07:41

Anyone had a sharp pain very low down? Bit further down than ya knicker line?

Faintlinesquints · 20/01/2018 12:19

I haven't this time @loz but I do remember that in my previous pregnancy, perhaps later on though. I also remember a distinct 'feels like a limiting needle jabbing my insides' feeling!

A bit random here.... but can dry/itchy eyes be a symptom or am I clutching straws and hoping for every wee thing being a sign? I feel like I've got hayfever but far too early in the year for that.

Loz604 · 20/01/2018 17:53

I don’t suffer with hay fever but often get itchy eyes at weird times of the year. Moisture eye drops help a lot!

Ouch needles on the inside doesn’t sound fun. Was strange sharp pain this morning then disappeared x

LifeOfRiley63 · 22/01/2018 11:18

So... entering CD94 of snoozing ovaries since coming off Cerelle.

Have been trying lots of different things. Still taking all the vitamins and supplements but now trying fertility abdominal self-massages (YouTube video) and listening to subliminal "ovary healing" music when I go to bed.
Also loosely sticking to Slimming World to try shed some weight.

How's everyone else getting on?

hungryradish · 22/01/2018 11:28

I love that there's YouTube videos of ovary healing! Brilliant, lets hope it works.

I'm CD 74 but did think that I may have ovulated on the 11th (had some cramps & felt a pop) which would explain why I've been cramping the last few days... Maybe af is finally on her way.

Tinker315b · 22/01/2018 11:41

Anything is worth a try @LifeOfRiley63

I still have nothing yet, although this morning I wiped and there was a few small very faint lines of blood, very very little so I don't know why I had that, and have had nothing since! Over the weekend just had the odd few cramps but feel back to normal now. This is my 4th week off Cerazette.

@hungryradish fingers crossed for you!

LifeOfRiley63 · 22/01/2018 11:53

@hungryradish - You felt a pop? What kind of pop? I'm intrigued! x

@Tinker315b Sounds like a withdrawl or implantation bleed. Fingers crossed for the latter! x
