AF for me today - proberbly won't be around for a while as I don't want my negative emotions rubbing off on you lovely ladies. hope you all get your BFP's soon

Thinking · 29/07/2007 12:08

Gracie, Sorry the witch turned up Hurry back when you feel better.

I'm still in limbo land, I can't even be bothered to test today. there is no point, I think I didn't ovulated at all this month and I am in the middle of another long cycle for me Well last one was 50 days, so only another couple of weeks to AF turning up.

I so wish AF would come regularly, is there anything I can do to regulate my cycles, I WANT to see the witch. At least then I have a chance of getting pregnant, those long cycles are just depressing. No chance of anything happening

Sorry to sound so down, when I know many of you ladies are TTC1 or been trying much longer than me or both

I just think it is pointless to even try if your cycles are 50 days long

Hi girls

Just popping in to check on my old temping buddies and I couldn't help but notice your post Thinking? I hope you don't mind me posting, but I used to have really long cycles, varying 36 to 67 days! My last proper AF was on 20th Oct 2006! I conceived in Dec after about a 57 day cycle, which I unfortunately mc, but then conceived this pg, almost immediately afterwards. So there is point to carrying on trying - have you tried to speaking to your GP about your long cycles? Sorry if I'm poking my nose in where it is not wanted.

Take care everyone else.

Thinking · 29/07/2007 20:08

Thanks for your kind words fettleandminifettle

I think it is my breastfeeding hormones causing my odd cycles and as we are just 'letting things happen'. I need to learn to chill out and wait. As my DH said today, we can have fun practicing and it doesn't matter if we concieve this year or next and he is right.

Thanks for letting me know that it is possible to ovulate during lomg cycles...that is interesting

RahRah1 · 30/07/2007 17:05

Hi all

Rainbowdays - how are you? Sorry you are getting mixed readings. Maybe its because you are so early. Have you taken another test today. Hope its a BFP for you!

Thinking - hope your cycles sort themselves out. I hated having a long cycle, had a couple of long ones after Bertie, its horrible not knowing where you are with AF! BF defo could be the reason, in fact don't some people use it as contraception?

fettleandminifettle - good to hear from you.. hope all is well. Thanks for checking up on us. It won't be long I am sure that a few of us will be joining new threads. I'm sure its just a matter of a couple of months...

Gracie - so sorry this was not your month! Don't worry about any negative emotions - I think most of us are feeling the same at the moment. Hopefully see you back soon.

Ready - TTC has had such an effect on your positive side. I promise you it will happen and your positive side will spring back into action. When we were TTC before Bertie it took us 18 months TTC, as soon as I was pregnant those feeling went out the window, all was forgotten!

Rattling/Duchesse - not heard from you guys for a while, hope you are both OK.

Hope everyone else is well. Take Care XX

Rainbowdays · 30/07/2007 21:48

Rah - thank you, yes I tested again today, I am getting many many faint bfp's even tesco's own and clearblue, but last time I got all faint positives so I am still wondering if this will be ok, it is stupid as I am only 4w-0d today!, it is not often that people get positives so early. I am trying to remain hopeful, but not allowing myself to get too excited yet.

duchesse · 30/07/2007 22:32

Thanks Rah. Not been on MN much as we have been looking after a minimum of 4, and up to 9 children at once since mid June (five most of the time) thanks to the addition of sundry language students, friends of children, relations of students, nephews and nieces (two of which we have here at the moment). Also taking a month off.

Morning girls...hope you are all well!!
Rainbowdays - fingers crossed that you have fell straightaway!!

Thinking - never had long cycles so not sure what to say, but good luck...

Ready - totally understand, this ttc lark is really upsetting especially as you do what your supposed to do and every month you get half excited and half not and it is just depressing!! But it is agreat when you least expect it!! hopefully you are lurking and when you are ready come back!!

I too am taking time off not temping - this month didnt' take the clomid either as I was away cd8 - cd14!!! Managed to bd cd7 and cd15 (loads of ewcm on cd15) but feel it is too late but not thinking about it.... we are away August for 3 weeks which covers a week either side of ov....so hopefully relaxed and bd the right times so if it doesn't happen then well not much else I can do!
hello to everyone else, Rah, Duchesse etc bfp's soon for us all - we are due some more!!

Only 10 days to go until the witch might show.

I did a cheap test this morning as I have loads and I wanna have a beer tonight. This time I got two flipping evapouration lines drying to one. I am never getting these cheap tests again. I might use one in tap water and see if that makes an evaporation line too, if it does I'm throwing the rest of these tests away.

Morning all....

How is everyone? Hope all is OK..

I'm completely stressed out! My husband is doing my head in as he is always busy and I get left with all the crap. In addition I have not go a clue what is going on with my cycle at the moment. I am about CD18, but had CM like when my egg has failed and AF is coming. But my cycle is normally 31+ days. GRRR... But then yesterday I got a gush (I know TMI) of CM, that was slimy, but a bit yellow. I am now worried I have an infection - does anyone else get this? Plus my husband is going away on Friday and will be drinking heavily so if ovulation is going to happen we have had no sex so far and the weekend will be a right off too... So totally out the game this month. I am feeling a bit down about another month going past...

Hello everyone, hope you're all OK. V little time at mo as am on holiday and DS is ill, but would one of you more experienced ladies take a look at my chart here and tell me what you make of it??
Thanks xx

Thinking · 02/08/2007 12:27

Hi Ladies, I'm still in limbo land...I really hope AF will turn up tomorrow and then I can enjoy a big glass of wine.

RahRah, ~was slimy, but a bit yellow~ This could be Egg White Cervical Mucus. which can be creamy to clear and very wet and stretchy. If it is get DTD asap, it is very fertile CM

ZamMummy, Your chart looks good and there is a potential implantation dip on 6 DPO. Keep an eye on your temps if they stay the same level or rise over the next 7 days do a test.
Or if you are a member of the 'early testers guild' you'll start POAS in a couple of days ;) Keep us posted, we are well overdue a BFP on this thread

Rainbowdays · 03/08/2007 09:36

Morning everyone, just popping back to let you know that after a whole week of very faint positive tests, I have finally got some less faint tests. So beginning to change from scarey fear to scarey excitement of "what have I gone and done now!" .

It is a bit quiet here at the moment, but hope you are all doing ok.

Fantastic news Rainbowdays!!!!!!!!!!

I got a peak OPK yesterday, so made my husband give me a quick one before he went away. We have my cousin staying with us, so it was all a bit awkward... hope he did not hear...

Therefore we have had sex once this month... oh well least I have not worn dh out! Which is his usual moan...

Rainbowdays · 03/08/2007 15:08

Rah - psst,,, shhhh we only managed once this month too..... so you never know!!!!
