@Boboelephant my cycles are usually 24-25 days long and I'm on cd21 today. Unless cycle length can change after mc?

BabynameEdie · 12/04/2018 21:54

@HidCat limbo time - I've just been through that but have faith, it will get back to normal ☺️

Boboelephant · 12/04/2018 21:59

@BabynameEdie I'm pretty sure you won't be getting af in 3 days hun. Cycles can change quite dramatically and be a bit messed up for 6 months post mc. The main thing is that you should be getting af (or bfp) 10-16 days after ovulation (your luteal phase). So if you only ovulated you still have a while to go. My cycle was 30 days last month with ov on cd17 but as I only ovulated on cd22 this time I'm now expecting AF 5 days later (so a 35 day cycle). Hope that makes sense.

@HidCat hopefully things will regulate now and you can look forward!

@Boboelephant wow ok, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you.. I am just being impatient! Wish we could see exactly what's going on in there all the time but guess it's all part of the magic of🤰

@PassTheAfterEights 7dpo here according to FF and temping, I'm not using OPKs at the moment as I'm on the control arm of the Clearblu trial. Really finding it a long TWW this month and so tempting to POAS but still so early yet. When are you going to POAS?

Boboelephant · 12/04/2018 22:07

@BabynameEdie yes I agree! It is hard to be patient when you ovulate later than expected. I keep thinking if I ovulated same as last month I'd be able to test this weekend! Patience is rubbish!! 🤣

New thread!
@Laney79
@SerenaOverjoyed hugs to both of you, sorry about your news today serena.
Laney hopefully things move along soon.

@PetraRabbit sorry for your loss and for having to go through what is basically shit and unfair.
I thought i would mention as you were worried about age. My mum had my 2nd brother at 42. 4 months ttc and smooth pregnancy. Im 31 and have an 8yr brother lol. So always hope and i hope you will have your 2nd baby soon.

@Claire138 im ok thanks, 5dpo tomorrow! Where are you at now?
How are the other tww crew??
Iv a weird positive feeling about this month but im not sure if its just delusion lol.
Having a few positive symptoms but it feels a bit early for them to mean everything.

I work in a high risk to pregnancy job too so trying to be safe but not really let on to people, also not even sure if it counts at thos point🤔

Congrats on your bfps everybody. Very happy for you all, you all deserve the stickiest of beans!
@Cakelaur Your bfp this morning looked great! 👍🏻

BabynameEdie · 12/04/2018 22:46

@Daffodils86 with you in the tww although not certain how many days post ov I am (1,4,7?!) but def in it.
It's good to have a positive feeling 😀 keep those positive vibes going! I feel totally spaced out, hard to concentrate at work, scatty and disorganised. Weirdest lower back pain yesterday & just all a bit topsy turvy at the moment. Fingers crossed for us all!
Intrigued by high risk to pregnancy job & wondering if I'm in one too? What makes it high risk to pregnancy?

hayleyfx · 12/04/2018 23:06

Oh dear, I just ran through to my SO and started singing “I’ve still got EWCM! I’ve still got EWCM!” Doing a little happy dance 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣 I literally have no shame anymore when it comes to talking about my bodily fluids... my younger self would be disgusted with me. 😂 I’ve also told him I can’t wait any longer than Wednesday to test as I’ll be 9dpo, soo bring on Wednesday!!

BabynameEdie · 12/04/2018 23:14

@hayleyfx haha this made me laugh! There is absolutely no shame in this kind of behaviour- I like to think that it involves them in an important part of our lives! 🤣
But on to the important part..excuse my naivety (only been at this game since Jan) - what's the significance of continued ewcm? 🤔

hayleyfx · 12/04/2018 23:23

@BabynameEdie haha yep whether they want to know about this stuff or not! 🤣 oh and the EWCM I don’t think it’s a sign usually for others but the only other time I’ve had this happen before was when I was pregnant so naturally I’m like “yep defo pregnant” 😂 I remember back in October thinking it was so weird still having EWCM at 1-7dpo and then out of nowhere - bfp! Fingers crossed 😬🤞

Claire138 · 13/04/2018 07:26

Morning ladies, feeling really stressed and down this morning. I had been praying my temp would go up today so I could put yesterday down to a fallback rise but my temp is still low today 😩 so I’m now thinking I haven’t ovulated! I’m on CD21 now, 4 days late of normal ovulation time. I tested a opk and it’s so negative! Really feel so gutted as everything looked perfect for Monday. DH and I have really put the leg work in this month but looks like it won’t be paying off. Just so gutted this morning. Sorry to be dragging the mood down first thing on a Friday. Hope everyone else has had a more positive start!

strawberrye · 13/04/2018 07:32

@Claire138 urgh sorry to hear that you and DH have put in so much effort this month and you feel it won't pay off. Stupid bodies being so unpredictable! Makes it such a rollercoaster doesn't it. Hope you and DH have something nice planned for your Friday evening to cheer you up x

Cakelaur · 13/04/2018 07:56

POAS FRIDAY!!!!

Martydog · 13/04/2018 07:59

Looking forward to see the photos.

Cakelaur · 13/04/2018 08:04

Also.. later today. I get my PUPPY!! I am SO excited about so many things!!! Come on ladies POAS!!! Lemme see bfps!!!

@Daffodils86 I had a weird chilled out happy vibe this month. I also had the same back in November when I got my first bfp!!

@Claire138 I'm sorry you feel a bit down about Ov. If you wanna post your chart I can take a look if you like. Is the dip below cover line? You may be gearing up to O on Monday still. 🤞🏻

@hayleyfx hahahaha!! I have a group chat with all my girls and I text them last month telling them I had EWCM. They were like what the f*uck is that?!!! Haha I forgot not everyone know what we talk about!! Haha
And when I called my OH I just yelled "bfp" down the phone! He thought I was drunk!! Haha. It was 8am!!!! 🤞🏻how many dpo are you now??

PumpkinPatch000 · 13/04/2018 08:12

Hello ladies!

So sorry for keep disappearing off the thread, so crazy busy at the moment and just had a horrible virus too.

Absolutely thrilled to see there have been so many BFPs while I’ve been away. Congratulations!! Great to see positive news for so many of you.

Thank you for all your support after my odd post MC period. I took your advice and phoned EPU and they weren’t overly concerned about the ‘gushes’. I had two in the end and then it all stopped. They just said it could have been left over from the MC.

I’m now in the TWW!

Happy friday!! Who’s POAS?!

xx

PumpkinPatch000 · 13/04/2018 08:14

@cakelaur how exciting you’re getting your puppy!! Please send some photos!!

BabynameEdie · 13/04/2018 08:16

@hayleyfx oooh I see! Gosh such good observation skills. And now I'm like 'I still have it too!!' (But I might have literally just ovulated so I can't be too overexcited about it). Haha I tried explaining about the tww to a friend the other day - she looked at me like I wasn't speaking English!

BabynameEdie · 13/04/2018 08:18

@Claire138 I feel your stress..I feel quite similar as my temps are all v bizarre and going up and down more than normal. I'm not sure I've ovulated yet either and ditto that hubby and I had such a marathon attempt this month. It's really disappointing when we throw so much into it isn't it. 🌺💕 go easy on yourself today z

BabynameEdie · 13/04/2018 08:20

@Cakelaur puppy day! I remember getting our puppy about this time two years ago and it was the best day! So exciting.

@PumpkinPatch000 hope you're feeling better? Where are you in the tww? I'm in it too 🤞🤞

BabynameEdie · 13/04/2018 09:45

Omg I have absolutely distinctive tingly boobs!! 🤦‍♀️ I'm going to be a nightmare this tww!
Anyone else symptom spotting?!

TimeWaitsForNoWoman · 13/04/2018 09:52

Morning ladies. So POAS Friday was not my friend this morning. I'm 11DPO (first cycle after MMC so not 100% sure when I ovulated) and still getting BFNs, although I am driving myself insane thinking i can spot something. My rational mind knows there is nothing there. Just want to start my period and move on from this miserable cycle now. Urgh I'm so frustrated!

Hope someone has better news than me. Xx

@dulwichdays I got my BFP on cycle 3 post MC, and that was after irregular cycles, very random spotting, disappearing AF symptoms (I had no cramps or any signs of AF. It was so weird). The human body can surprise you! Smile Best of luck everyone. Xx
