@KatBeCool also CD5! Feeling way behind everyone else too.

Sorry for the BFN's, nothing more disheartening, but onwards and upwards for the next cycle!

Delilah7 · 27/10/2018 15:23

@FivexFive that's not fun to be around when they ask that. Hope your afternoons been ok!

Sorry I've been quiet took the niece and nephew swimming. Knackered now 😂😂 nice that people thought I was their mum today and in good shape 😂😂😂

@gjchapman maybe. Try not to test till AF though! Fx for you xxx

@MrsR16 do you think you ov’ed on the expected day? Maybe no symptoms is a good sign!

@sunshine1987 you’re not out till af arrives, must be good that your luteal phase is getting longer anyway?

mrsof20118 · 27/10/2018 15:26

Fingers crossed for you @gjchapman

sunshine1987 · 27/10/2018 15:27

@stormtrooperjulian yeah that’s why I think I’m so chilled about it regardless. Would help having a longer LP x

MrsR16 · 27/10/2018 15:30

@stormtrooperjulian no I don't think I did... if I ov'd at all, it would have been on CD16 or 17 I think! So I might be testing way too early. We'll see

cupcakesandglitter · 27/10/2018 17:06

Hi all, sorry I'm so out of touch - I've tried to take a step back this month hoping it would help my body relax a bit. Tried some fertility yoga and meditation, kept up with the gym a bit more... CD26 and AF has arrived. My mood's just plummeted. My cycles are way off/irregular again and I'm so annoyed - I blame DH as we've barely had any sex this month for various reasons (all his reasons though).

How is everyone doing, and where are we all with cycles? Hope you're all well ❤️ xx

Delilah7 · 27/10/2018 17:07

@cupcakesandglitter I missed you!!!! I'm sorry AFS here :( CD26. Going by last two cycles period should be here next Saturday xxx

@Delilah7 missed you too 😩 I'm gonna get back onto this now, it's been a really lonely cycle 😂 just a week to wait then!! how's things at home? Xx

Delilah7 · 27/10/2018 17:20

@cupcakesandglitter I bet hun. Ok. Things have smoothed over with my brother. Sister a little bit. Awaiting dad's mri scan results! And hoping this month I got pregnant but I doubt it haha xx

Hello all!

Fertile window here but we're staying with my parents. May try a stealthy shag if circumstances permit.

If this isn't my month, HSG next month. And DH will have spooge looked at soon too.

KatBeCool · 27/10/2018 17:48

@cupcakesandglitter sorry AF showed up. At the least, a 26-day cycle is better than a much longer cycle. I've been reading some girls have like 90-day cycles, or completely random. If you at least have a somewhat of range, while not predictable, it's still manageable. It could be just this cycle too. Hugs.

stormtrooperjulian · 27/10/2018 18:06

@cupcakesandglitter sorry you’re feeling down, have you spoken with your h about how you feel about the lack of sex?

11/12dpo and no spotting yet, but some yellowish cm (sorry, way tmi!) which is a bit odd, and sore boobs as usual so I’m expecting af to arrive overnight or tomorrow

FlapJackered · 27/10/2018 18:55

@cupcakesandglitter I am sorry hun, that is frustrating re your DH not doing his part, as you know many of us have been there. Maybe it's time to kick him up the arse with another chat?
I am cd30 8dpo so I am joining you in the irregular cycle realm! So annoying. 🙄

cupcakesandglitter · 27/10/2018 20:00

@Delilah7 oh I'm glad things sound a lot more calm, fingers crossed for his results ❤️ ahh that would be lovely, fx xxx

@KatBeCool definitely, but my last cycle was 38 and the one before was 23 😩 I'm hoping my body starts to settle again, it makes me feel worse and pointless even trying x

@stormtrooperjulian oh yes, he's been told allll about it. He has apologised and he's said next month will be better (my birthday and anniversary are in August though so it would be pretty packed next year if we caught this cycle 😩). I've started to get a bit of yellow Cm in the week before AF turns up, but I've also read it's a good sign of pregnancy? Fx it's your month x

@FlapJackered yeah it's so irritating isn't it - how do they think we'll get pregnant? Immaculate conception? Hopefully this cycle he picks it up. Oh god, how was your last cycle? Xx

KatBeCool · 27/10/2018 20:20

@cupcakesandglitter my birthday is in August too! And I'd love to have an August baby. Try to have less stress in your life (ha, yeah, I know, so easy). But a more routine life, lots of fruits and veggies, and exercise tend to do good things for your body. So tell your DH to treat you like a queen 😉

Delilah7 · 27/10/2018 20:30

@cupcakesandglitter thank you darling ❤️

Welcome back @cupcakesandglitter. Sorry it’s been a rubbish month. We’re all here! X

cupcakesandglitter · 27/10/2018 21:02

@KatBeCool August babies are the best babies ;) oh he is! He's hinched the whole house, and has popped a film on so I can keep my feet up!! He does feel guilty 😂😂

@mrsof20118 thankyou ❤️❤️

Charm23 · 27/10/2018 21:11

I'm CD25 and getting increasingly impatient. I keep symptom spotting and it's making me dangerously optimistic which I hate as it makes the BFNs even worse. AF due on Thursday 1st and I'm pretty certain I'll be testing then if not before. I need an answer!!

FlapJackered · 27/10/2018 22:27

@Charm23 I thought we were testing together on 2nd!? If you give in early I will definitely not be able to resist 😂

@cupcakesandglitter I know! They seem to need constant reminding of the aim of the whole process!
Last cycle was 31 days and this one is looking to be 36 days. They do seem to be settling into the 30s which i should see as positive as before then it would be 29 then 56 etc. Very irritating! Have you come off the pill in the last year? I have been off it for about a year but can't imagine this would still be due to the pill?

cupcakesandglitter · 27/10/2018 22:57

@FlapJackered honestly 😂😂 that sounds good - I had the implant out last year August, mine were SUPER irregular but from March they've been 29-33 days I think, so I'd definitely take yours settling as a good sign 😊 I don't think mine's from contraception though, it literally only messed up as soon as we started TTC 😭

I forgot to add, I have a job interview in a few weeks for a promotion, I'm super excited! The extra money could bring my house renovations a bit sooner 😭 xx

Charm23 · 27/10/2018 22:58

@FlapJackered Hopefully I can wait until then! Don't like testing early as don't feel I can trust the results so will try not to but keep thinking is this my month? Is it not? Just want the answer now!!

ValidUser · 27/10/2018 23:17

@cupcakesandglitter sorry it was a bad month. This is such a tough journey. X

@Delilah7 glad there's some settling. I hope you get a reduction in stress and a BFP. X

Did it in my parents' house. Feel like a randy teenager. 😂

cupcakesandglitter · 27/10/2018 23:23

Thanks @ValidUser it's shitty how hard it is 😭

Omg 😂😂😂😂 how naughty, do you feel guilty? (You shouldn't) but how funny 😂😂 glad you got it in!!! X
