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 !😘

Thanks hun..that sux i know at least 4pregnant ppl at the minute uuughh

Hi how u feeling today? Ive just been thinking ive not had sore boobs all cycle, i normally get them from ovulation(well half way through cycle)until af. I dnt know if thats a gd sign or not lol the tww and the symptom spotting begins😂

If we don't symptom spot what will we do with our time? Having a great time over here. I bought a vintage caravan to renovate today haha, I have no self control.

Also one of my closest friends found out she is pregnant today, hard to know what to say to her because she's had so many miscarriages. She's convinced she's going to lose this one too. Just trying to be there for her

Thats a shame for your friend gd shes got someone to support her tho as u say u dnt know what to say sometimes, its a fine line between being positive and not wanting to look heartless. Ooh id luv a caravan or a little retro campervan😍

hello all...been gone for a while, but i need to have a whinge. after four months of lovely almost-regular cycles, i'm now on CD40 with no sign of any ovulation symptoms, much less a period. Looks like we're back to the usual schedule. sob. no advice wanted...just sympathy before i eat all the chocolate wail

@flyingplum that sux hun im on cd36 my last cycle was 33days but goin by when i ovulated looks like im back to my 42day long cycles. Fx im pregnant but not had many symptoms so who knows. Debatimg wether i should test 2morro(10dpo) or not.

That sounds rubbish flyingplum
Did you test today thisis?
Hows everyone else getting on?
I had to take some me time this last week or so. It was all a lot harder to cope with than I expected. I'm now on cycle day 14 following the miscarriage, bleeding stopped on day 10 and tests are fully negative again.
Now taking:
4g Inositol
Vitamin D
Vitamin C and Iron
Vitamin and B6 and B12
Folic acid.
Time will tell if this shortens my cycle now.

@Aph413 thats tough hope ur feelin a tiny bit better. I tested today..twice one poundshop test and one ic both negative uuuggh, i feel terrible atm dnt know if its major pmt or ttc gettin to me but i feel like a woman on the edge🔪🔫lol

Good luck @thisisouryrfx18 fx for a bfp for you!

@Aph413 that sounds like a good plan of action!

@flyingplum these long cycles suck don't they.

I am having issues as digital opk said peak fertility on Thursday but since then I still haven't gone over the cover line with bbt. Do you think I didn't ovulate then or can you have a slow rise after ov?
I got so excited too as if I did Ov then that would mean an under 40 day cycle which would be the first in a while?

Thanks @FlapJackered i hope i am pregnant or the stress of ttc is just gettin to me ive been a total bitch past couple of days lol feel sorry for OH ! Im not too sure is it the clearblue opks with the smiley face u use?

@thisisouryrfx18 when do you think you will test again?
Yes the smiley face ones. Not sure how accurate they are and how likely it is I wouldn't have ovulated after a peak one? Very frustrating as temp is pretty much the same as yesterday.

@FlapJackered screen shot ur chart and post it..i was gonna test today but OH has accidently binned my ic he was tryin to tidy up for me he says😠

@thisisouryrfx18 🙈
Here it is - not sure it's that positive 🙁

@FlapJackered try posting it again it was zoomed in lol

Ah not sure what happened there!
Try again...

Im used to ff cant figure it out lol sorry does it not highlight when it thinks u ovulate? I would say go with the opk temping is not always accurate do u temp at the same time everyday after at least 4hrs sleep?

Thanks for trying! It hasn't worked out when I ov'd yet but opk was peak on the first red day of temping. (I entered the positive opk into the app which is what made it red) but temping still hasn't picked up ovulation as temps are still below the cover line.
I haven't been sleeping well so maybe that has messed up the temps a bit.
It's just frustrating not knowing if I have ov'd or if it is still coming! Also it would probably mean a much shorter cycle if I did after the positive opk.

@FlapJackered thats alrite hun i would honestly go with the opk cause theyr meant to b 99% accurate are they not? Since its pickin up hormones i think its more accurate than temping and if uve not been sleeping gd ur temps will b all over the place. Do u temp vaginally i found mine were much more stable when i started then vaginally.

Good tip - I temp orally atm, but maybe next cycle I will switch to vaginally.
I think I will just treat this cycle as if I haven't Ov'd and just DTD every other day. I will just keep my fx for this cycle to not be a long monster!...unless of course it turns into a pregnancy!

@FlapJackered so what cd are u on atm? Im cd38 think if ovulation is anything to go by my cycle will b about 41days

41 days isn't too bad is it, almost an acceptable length!
I am on cd25 now so if I have ov'd it should be 34 days which would be a huge improvement on my last few cycles!

Yh fx means u can test in less than a wk lol im pinning all of my hopes on this cycle! Hope its not another disappointment i dnt know if i can take it again!

Will keep my fx'd for you. When do you reckon you will test?

Thanks but i think afs on its way 😭

Your temps are still above your cover line though thisis so fingers crossed for you.
Huge temperature drop this morning. Honestly wondering if its an ovulation dip because I've had 3 days of ewcm too. If so it'll be amazing because I'll have brought my cycle down from 60 to 30 days! I'll take a 30 day cycle even without a bfp!
Currently away with parents in a caravan so no dtd at all for us this week. Plus my opks are at home, so fingers crossed this is a nice short cycle bfp or not
