Fingers crossed for you @thisisouryrfx18! I have no idea what is going on. Thought I had some EWCM yesterday, so was all excited for other half getting his butt up here last night. Then had some sexytime this morning, and thought things looked a bit yellow/brown when i went to clean up. Then i deffo had some pink when i wiped before we went out. Thought maybe AF finally showing up, put a pad on, but only a little bit of spotting, so who knows what's going on, where i am in my cycle, or what.

Stupid body.

Aph413 · 27/05/2018 09:10

How are you getting on thisis?
That sounds frustrating flyingplum what day are you on now?

Sorry to hear that @thisisouryrfx18 - it is so hard this ttc business.

I am not sure what is going on with me. Temperature is still all over the place, so no idea when or if I have ovulated.
I think I am just going to test on Friday and Dtd every other night until af shows up or my temp sorts itself out.

My DHs colleague just got pregnant on a one night stand, how does that even happen!!!

thisisouryrfx18 · 27/05/2018 11:43

U mustve read my mind i was just thinkin who are these ppl that get pregnant on a one nite stand? Or one missed pill or burst condom?! Seems to b if ur drunk or dnt want kids u become more fertile! Uuuggh im just soo pissed off hate to b tmi but af is terrible ive been gettin huge fleshy lumps wtaf. Neway fx for u surely we ll get 1bfp on this thread

Sorry to hear that thisis at least 42 days for your cycle isn't too drastically long and you know you ovulated. Are you going to try anything new this cycle?
FlapJackered I get embarrassingly angry at people who just manage to 'fall' pregnant at the drop of a hat. It's our turn now.
Only 2 days until I go home now. Ovusense hasn't picked up ovulation yet so I haven't mamaged to halve my cycle yet.
But back to the gym on tuesday, lose a fuck ton bit of weight which supposedly inositol will help with. See how I get on then. If nothing else I can be thin and miserable rather than fat and miserable.

flyingplum · 27/05/2018 12:10

aph413 and thisis - odd indeed. Still some brown discharge this morning with some darker pinky-brown. Though, I checked back through my old app and realised it did this for about 6 weeks in 2014, and it was that which prompted my visit and subsequent endo diagnosis, so I'm thinking it has something to do with my chocolate cyst leaking or something. I hope it doesn't last as long as last time - it made sex pretty miserable...

flyingplum · 27/05/2018 12:10

Oh, and I'm on cd47 now. I've had 90 day cycles before, so who knows.

thisisouryrfx18 · 27/05/2018 13:13

Wow thats soo long! I think thats what pisses me off more ppl who have to wait 28days dnt know how lucky they r..another 6wk wait never mind 2ww

OP posts:
flyingplum · 28/05/2018 00:02

Things have picked up...must have been a slow start to AF. EWCM still weird though.

thisisouryrfx18 · 28/05/2018 10:50

Sorry @flyingplum only bonus is ur cycle length has shortened still rather b pregnant tho..im on cd3 still cramping bad

OP posts:
flyingplum · 28/05/2018 11:29

I think it's just a weird anovulatory period. It's not really doing anything today - wore a tampon overnight just in case, and it wasn't really necessary. Who knows. Bought new seven seas pills yesterday so will get back into the habit of taking them and see if that has any positive effect. Might be that the new found regfularity if the last few months was just coincidental with starting taking them, but worth a shot!

flyingplum · 28/05/2018 11:30

Ooo, that was v self-centred! Sorry to hear about cramps - I prescribe chocolate cake and Netflix 😁

thisisouryrfx18 · 28/05/2018 11:44

Lol thats alrite😊god all ive done is comfort eat past few days need to go on a diet. Well doesnt do any harm to take more vits neway..need to book docs im the worst at putting it off

OP posts:
Aph413 · 28/05/2018 14:46

I've got my smear test to book now. Not looking forward to that one bit so I understand putting things off thisis I really do urge you to go though, you won't know if theres a problem until you do. Or it might be nothing at all.

thisisouryrfx18 · 28/05/2018 18:44

@Aph413 well according to last cycle at least i know i ovulate sumtimes and my luteal phase is normal but now im thinkin what if i go and its unexplained infertility and theres nothing they can do. It scares the crap out of me the thought of it, seen a programme the other day old lady husband died and no children all alone. For the 1st time i thought is that going to me? All your friends dead.. terrifying maybe im mental lol

OP posts:
FlapJackered · 28/05/2018 18:47

I am guilty of putting these things off too. I put off having my thyroid checked for ages and it turns out I do have a problem, now kicking myself I didn't get it checked out sooner.

Frustrated with DH today, as after saying he would cut back on drinking so much and also hot baths he is now having a bath, and has been overdoing the drinking all weekend! It feels like I am doing all the leg work and he doesn't really give a crap. I am trying to get him to get his sperm checked as if there is a problem then all the things I am doing to try and get myself sorted are pointless.
Sorry rant over!

thisisouryrfx18 · 28/05/2018 21:38

@FlapJackered feel free to rant i do it all the time on here lol does sometimes feel like us women make all the sacrifices! Guys can forget what cd ur on etc cause they dnt have to pee on opks take vits and temp everyday. I have to admit my oh is gr8 puttin up with my mood swings etc but ultimately their lucky they dnt have to go through pregnancy either

OP posts:
FlapJackered · 29/05/2018 10:53

Sorry about that rant, feeling less frustrated today, maybe af is on her way, but who knows with this cycle!
The OH's have it pretty good don't they, although you're right - they do have to put up with our hormones!

thisisouryrfx18 · 29/05/2018 14:57

Dont apologise we all get pissed off.. im sick of feeling like my life is on hold its not fair, i done everything right! met someone i love the bones of moved in bought our house set up this gr8 life together, we have savings and everythings settled..but no family. Think i ll have to buy 20dogs or cats and look after them

Aph413 · 30/05/2018 22:56

Speaking of cats thisis
Little black one is mine. The other is from an older litter but I had to have a cuddle and she went to sleep on me 😍

Another pregnancy sprung on me today. So that's 2 of my oldest friends. Really stings because once upon a time it would have been amazing for all 3 of us to be pregnant at the same time.
