Looking for luvely ladies with long cycles who want to swap tips on how to shorten your cycle..doesnt matter how bonkers I ve tried it all !😘

[FlapJackered]

@Lilsquish - AF came so onto a new cycle. I am doing a seriously healthy diet again this cycle as that seemed to work in making my cycle shorter last time. Not fun though!

How are you feeling? Have you booked your midwife appointment?

[Lilsquish]

sorry @flap, just saw your message.

it looked like it would have been a around 48 days as i got positive opk on day 32 or 33.

my lmp was 10th July so I'm dated around 2 weeks ahead of what I actually am (even tho iv told them I'm not a 28 day cycler!)

how's things with you? xx

[FlapJackered]

@Lilsquish just out of interest how long was this cycle for you before you got your bfp?

[FlapJackered]

Massive congratulations @Lilsquish !! 🎉🥂
So lovely to see another bfp on this thread!

[Veganmedic]

Congrats @lilsquish, such good news for you x

[Lilsquish]

thank you ladies.

honestly shocked! just did a frer and it's positive.

I got a positive at 9dpo with my LG. but I might be 10 or 11. cycles all over the place.

just hope this one sticks.

all the luck in the world to you girls. il keep checking in xx

[tinyradish]

Wow lilsquish you've got a line at 9dpo! Congrats!

(I'm also 9dpo & you're making me want to test )

[FlapJackered]

I see it too @Lilsquish ! Tentative congratulations!!
Take a frer as those tests apparently are much less sensitive than they say. A frer may well have a better line!

[Veganmedic]

I see it!

[Lilsquish]

tried to post a picture but it's not showing! ahhh

[Lilsquish]

ok so I tested.... I think I see a line!

[Lilsquish]

I think I'm about 9dpo. wanting to wait to test till tomo or wed.

but will prob cave lol

[Veganmedic]

It was a flashing smily so haven’t hit peak fertility yet. Just a dodgy box I think-still arguing with the amazon seller who wants me to take it up with clearblue whereas I say they sold me a defective product...I’m on cd14 and based on previous cycles would normally ovulate around cd20.

[FlapJackered]

@Lilsquish - tell me about it! I ended up getting a static smiley after 14 days of flashing smiley thank god!
Now on 6dpo in tww. What dpo are you?

@Veganmedic - I think the clearblue don't work for 24 hours after a static smiley but I could be wrong? What cd are you on?

[Veganmedic]

Hear hear for regular cycles. I’m having a very odd month-trying clearblue digital advanced opk-first stick negative, next day high fertility then holder stopped working so had to run to boots for more. Amazon seller refusing to engage with me about dodgy pack. Boots one then negative for two days and back to high fertility today. Meanwhile Flo app, seemingly off one temp has reset my cycle to 24 days (as if) and says I ovulated three days after AF. So god knows when I should be aiming to DTD!!

[Lilsquish]

@flap long cycles are so frustrating!! why can't we just be regular?? (and short)

[Lilsquish]

all the best with ur ivf journey @thisis Hopefully get a bfp soon xx

sorry about AF @vegan xx

hope you're ok @aph xx

[Lilsquish]

morning girls.

sorry if not been around in a few weeks. needed to take a step back for a bit after my results.

however I got a positive opk last week so currently in the tww.

although after last month's short cycle, this one looks like it's going to be a 50+

[FlapJackered]

Sorry to hear that @Veganmedic
I am now on day 10 of flashing smiley so this is going to be a longer cycle again which is really frustrating 😭

[Veganmedic]

Definitely out this month as AF turned up yesterday. Going to try and focus on being more healthy this month as I’ve let that slide and see if that helps with my cycles-although this was 35 days which really isn’t too bad. Might try the digital opk too

[FlapJackered]

Clear blue is good, last cycle it was great - this cycle I am a bit frustrated with the lack of a solid smiley! The benefit is you only need to do them once a day with fmu.

[Veganmedic]

I’m thinking of going electronic opk if I am out this cycle-the IC are so open to interpretation and my test line always seems a little light. My temps have been all over the place with nights this month anyway. Is the clear blue any good?

[FlapJackered]

• I mean taunting me with a flashing smiley face for the last 7 days!

[FlapJackered]

Definitely not out until AF!
I have been using Clearblue monitor and it has been taunting me with a smiley face for 7 days now! Really hoping I get my solid smiley soon or I am close to chucking the thing out of the window!
My temperatures are all over the shop too which isn't overly helpful! I just don't want a long cycle again 😩

[Veganmedic]

Been testing daily lol as have absolutely no self control but still negative. Am now about 12dpo. Doesn’t help that in the heat I’m drinking so much water that even my FMU is quite dilute. Guess I’m not out till AF appears but feeling like it hasn’t happened this month . Where are you at - any sign of ovulation?
