[thisisouryrfx18]

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]

Sorry to hear that @thisisouryrfx18 I hope it works out for you and will keep my fingers crossed for a bfp for you this year. X 😘

[thisisouryrfx18]

@FlapJackered thanx same to u hun x

[Veganmedic]

@thisisouryrfx18 - good luck for a bfp, hope you get the help you need. My cycle has flipped back to 40ish days this month. Currently in 2ww but not feeling optimistic as the change in cycle length and other stressors meant I’m not sure we’ve timed dtd right again. Trying to avoid testing till at least 10dpo which will be the weekend. How’s everyone else getting on?

[FlapJackered]

@Veganmedic 🤞🏻for you for the weekend!
I got my flashing smiley today on cd11 so hoping that means ovulation this week which would mean another normal cycle 🎉
Annoyingly (poor 🙄) DH is ill at the moment so we are not Dtd at all, really hope he perks up tonight.

[Veganmedic]

Fingers crossed he perks up soon @flapjackered. Part of why I’m resigned to
Getting a BFN is that my ovulation was around the heatwave and we tried but couldn’t manage every time we should have-too damn hot!

[thisisouryrfx18]

@Veganmedic thanx bye x

[Aph413]

Sorry to hear you're moving ovee to infertility thisis
Been a bit absent from this thread because despite all previous signs of ovulation and my cycle finally regulating it's currently CD88. So pissed off about it all. Inositol hasn't worked yet, I actually stopped taking it because I just got so disheartened by it all.
Currently on holiday for 2 weeks. If no AF by the time I get back I'm going to have to go to the doctors and get something to start it off.

[thisisouryrfx18]

Thanx @Aph413 i was thinking bout u the other day since ud disappeared im sorry ur cycles r playing up again must b soo disheartening prob docs is the best idea x

[FlapJackered]

@Aph413 so sorry to hear the inositol didn't do the job. I would definitely get to the docs when you're back, that must be really frustrating. I hope you're ok otherwise.

[Veganmedic]

Well I caved and tested yesterday evening-naturally negative as only 8dpo. So impatient. Timing awful for next couple of months so still hoping this month works out. That cycle length must be so frustrating Aph-hope the Gp is helpful

[FlapJackered]

Ah sorry about the bfn @Veganmedic but it is still v early days, when do you think you will test again?

[Veganmedic]

Tested this morning and another bfn. Some period cramps today so expecting AF in the next day or so-though this would be early based on when I think I ovulated.

[FlapJackered]

@Veganmedic have you tested again? Keeping 🤞🏻 for you.

[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?

[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 😩

[FlapJackered]

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

[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]

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]

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]

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 😭

[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+

[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]

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

[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!!

[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?
