(Can’t change user name 🙄)!
Sooooooo still no sign of AF (Aunt Flo - menstruation/period) longest cycle since last year and negative pregnancy test this morning frer to so looks like I’m not. So looks like I’ve either skipped ovulation or I’m just really late this month?

so just going to pay the waiting game until it decides to show up. Kinda feel depressed as I’m only 24 and been trying for 2 years. Any thoughts on what I should do? 😕

Didn’t want to read without posting!
Ahh it’s such a frustrating time isn’t it !!
I drive myself crazy. My cycles range from 28 days to 36. And I usually have a full blown week of spotting too!
I’ve tried everything progesterone cream , soya isofavanes , magnesium , Angus cactus ...
I had my bloods done cd2-5 at the doc said all fine!! But my fsh was a 10! Which isn’t too good ... I left a message with a fertility clinic and they are meant to call me back tomorrow . So stressful xx

I know!!! I’m now on cycle day 51!! And nothing my doctor says irregular periods won’t be a problem it’s been 2 years :( looks like we both are in the same boat we know our own bodies and I know this isn’t normal for me haven’t had this long of a cycle before. I will test middle of this week to see what’s going on if that’s negative I will go for a blood test.

I might start trying some of those to see how I get on..but I think I’m not ovulating due to be so irregular. 😭

I used ovusense this month and it has confirmed I ovulated ... it’s really accurate . It confirmed i ovulated cd 22, but now cd 24 I’ve started spotting and getting cramps ... so I know I’m out this cycle and I know in any day I’m going to have my full flow which means a very short Lp!!
Cries . Have you had any bloods done at the docs?

See I have a few issues
Low progesterone ,
Fsh high,
Thyroid
And short lp. I have no chance .

But the docs said my results are all normal . But they was borderline which doesn’t help with ttc!! Cry x

Oh where would I get that from..I’m willing to try anything. And I had a blood test a few months ago they said all is fine apart from low progesterone..but I think they need to do a certain day blood test to see what my hormones are doing?

I’m on cycle day 51 and no sign of AF but also no symptoms of pregnancy apart from tired , emotional and hungry so I’m lost this month. And I have no idea of what my LP would be? And are you sure you’re completely out this month? Who knew it would be so difficult cry cry.

Ovusense is fantastic but a little eexpensive, just google it and you'll find it. It's cheaper overall to purchase a years subscription and I looked at is as £150 well spent if it means I get my bfp before the year is up.
Mine confirmed I ovulated on cycle day 23 when last month it was day 38, so it's brilliant for irregular cycles

i just know I’m out ...as soon as that spotting came and I have too many other issues . I know I need some assistance . I know I’m
Broke .

Look up ovusense , they have a discount on at the moment. It’s 25% off . So like june25 i think the code is??

It is a temperate machine thing that you insert vaginally and takes temp every 5 mins through the night .
If you have ovulated your temp will rise by 0.3 c and will stay up for at least 3 days.

It’s really helped me as it plots it on a graph for you so there is no stress if you are doing it wrong .

Have you done a pregnancy test incase? I would go back to the docs for sure and get more bloods.

My docs said my results were “fine” but I asked for the print out and they are all border line .
So one docs fine is not another doctors fine.
My fsh is a 10. If it’s above 9.5 you should be referred to a fertility clinic . But you see these docs just have guidelines and that’s that really . I’ve contacted a private clinic and I’m waiting them to get back to me .

Hi OP I'm in much the same boat as you! It sucks, but it helps to know you aren't alone inngoing through this.

My periods have been all over the place since I came off the pill in June 2017. Anything from 27-88 day cycles, usually around 45 days average. I had blood tests last month for all the major hormones and everything was well within the normal range...I also paid for a private fertility ultrasound today and the results showed I was completely normal and had ovulated from my left ovary this month. No cysts or fibroids, and plenty of good sized follicles!

So I guess I'm relieved there's nothing majorly wrong, but at the same time TTC with such irregular periods is a nightmare! I might do some research into Ovusense cause I've seen a few people talking about it now. At this stage I've probably spent more on pregnancy tests than what a few months subscription would cost Blush

Try home health for pregnancy tests . There like £2 for 10! I do the dip ones. So just make sure you have a designated peeing cup. But saves a fortune!
I would recommend ovu sense for sure . First month it will get to know your cycle but then you can see the temp rise..
But I guess you kind of need to know the days before hand so maybe opk to check when your about to ovulate and then ovusense to confirm you have ovulated so then you know you don’t have to BD as much! Bd is so not fun when it’s for one thing!

Have you tried Agnes cactus , that’s meant to help regulate xx
