[dizzy85]

@MrsB899 hope you don't mind I started a new thread as went to reply on the last one and it seems to have hit the limit on 1000 posts 😆

I'm ok thanks @Kinsella82 ... how're you doing? X

Haven't caught up for a while. My AF was due 2-3 days ago now according to my apps. I tested yesterday as I thought I was quite regular but it was definitely negative, not even a squint 🤔so still waiting. Hope everyone is ok.

Hi all,

Mind if I join in with you? Im on ttc cycle #5

Currently 14dpo, AF was due 2 days ago but all tests have been bfn :-(
I don't know what is going on, i've never been late before?

Plus I have a dilemma, I'm going away for a hen weekend tomorrow, if no af or no bfp by tomorrow do I drink? :-(

@Robbo93 sorry about AF :( When I got my implant out my LP was short too it started at 10 days but grew to 12 days last 2 months. Were you on contraception?

@dizzy85 11DPO today have you any symptoms today? My boobs are getting worse so I hope this is a good sign!!

@20Tinkerbell20 Backache has eased today but I sit at a desk in work and normally it gets worse in the evening :( How are you today?

@Kinsella82 Is it TTC no 1 for you?

@HayleyD84 Did you use OPKs to confirm Ovulation?

Hi @Sophieb15 no it's number 3 for me. What about you?

@Kinsella82 It's no 2 for me! How long(if you don't mind me asking) did it take for your first 2?

Hi @Sophieb15 yes I have been usig OPK's.

AF has just arrived so I am out this month :-(

Good luck everyone x

@HayleyD84 Sorry to here that :(

Sorry @HayleyD84

@Sophieb15 my first was a lovely surprise as we were TTC at the time. My second I came off the pill mid Nov and didn't have any bleeds whatsoever but must've ovulated at some stage as I was 5 weeks pregnant at the beginning of Feb. So I've been extremely lucky with those two. Fingers crossed for u. How long have you been TTC this time?

@Kinsella82 You were very lucky!!! This is month 5 for me this time. It was 3 years with no 1 in total but we weren't actively trying the whole time I didn't do OPK's and I had no idea of my cycle and I'd say if we only BD twice a month. The month I got pregnant we BD on CD 5 and 7 and that was it for the month so I must have ovulated early and just got lucky that month. I have been doing OPK's now for 3 months and first month I ovulated on CD 15 and the last 2 months on CD 17. We couldn't have done any better this month as OH works nights :( We BD on CD 8,11,13,16 and 17. So fingers crossed for both of us!

Have you any symptoms today?

Cd12 for me, 5th day of ewcm but still negative opks!

@Sophieb15 only symptom I've had so far (5dpo) now is a sharp stabbing pain in my left hand side yesterday. I think I get that every month on alternating sides tho.
How many dpo are you now? Sorry if I missed it below.

Sorry @Sophieb15 found it. So you're 11 dpo now? Nearly time for testing!!

@LucieBee When do you normally get a positive which ones are you using?

@Kinsella82 I'm definitely holding out until sat morning 13DPO my last 2 LP have been 12 days so my APP tells me I'm due tomorrow so I'll be a day late unless AF decides to show up tomorrow!!! My boobs are so sore unlike any other month and i'm having CM which is thick and clear/cloudy(hard to describe) I find the first week after O no problem but the 2nd week is so hard :(

@Sophieb15 how long were you off the implant until you started getting the longer LP?

@Robbo93 I had a withdrawal bleed 3 days after I had it removed. The waited until my next period to start tracking as didn't know where I was. My first month trying I had 10 days 2nd month I had 11 days and last 2 months I've had 12 days. If I do get AF this month It may climb again to 13 or 14 days I will let you know. Did you have the implant?

@Sophieb15 i normally get a positive around CD15/16 but last month was CD23 or something like that so I'm a little unsure this month! I use the One Step ones, I used them with my first time TTC as well and found them really good. I'm CD13 today.

@LuciBee how long was your LP last month?

@Sophieb15 about 9 days! very short, not sure how anything is meant to implant within that time!

@LuciBee What contraception (if any) were you on and how long you off it? I've learned so much more this time around than the first time.

@20TinkerBell20 I was going to wait two days until I tested again but I got a frer test today and didn’t want to wait until tomorrow! The line still looks faint for 10dpo tho, hopefully will get darker in a couple of days x

Well first time i was on microgynon for about 9 years and then around 3 on cerazette which is a mini pill. I had my first AF 6 weeks later then got pregnant straight after that.

I went back on cerazette at the end of July 2018 and came off at the end of January 2019, took 6 weeks again to get AF and then had 2 cycles with short LP, then a long cycle with a short LP. No idea what is in store for this month! I have had 5 days now of ewcm but no positive opk. just going to keep DTD every couple of days and keep up the opks. i'm only CD12 so still early. Just so hard when you have irregular cycles!

wow @Coffeeandcake1 congrats!! Defo a line there! should hopefully get darker each day! yayyyy!!! x

Congratulations to those of you that have got your bfp . Were you dtd every other day/specific days etc or just as it happened and hoped for the best? Wondering if we’re miss timing things or just not been lucky yet.
