So your AF was longer but not as strong? @lilice

@Lolastanley sorry I skipped words lol. I meant I thought it had ended two days ago but didn't. It was longer, and heavier than usual at the beginning. I feel like I've started ttc they are heavier each month. Today I have a line on the opk, usually it's totally blank right after my AF. Do we ovulate earlier when we skip a month?

SunnyFlover · 28/11/2019 14:04

Ladies... my line is still the Same shade of nothing. Got some 6 days early ( I am currently 4 days till my period is due) so will test tomorrow morning and then again 48 hours later to see if any progression is there...

Quiffy · 28/11/2019 19:00

Hopefully get a darker line @SunnyFlover fingers crossed!

Lolastanley · 28/11/2019 22:12

@Lilice I don’t know if it’s because I’m being more aware of things happening, but I had the same issue this time too. My periods usually 4 days max, this months been 6 and spotting on day 7. I wonder if it’s because things actually do connect when you DTD more than we are aware but don’t follow on, or progress if you get me.

@Quiffy I am either out this month of just had an implantation... 10DPO today and just had a two drops of pinky blood and faint pink MC when wiping... some sharp paint here and there ... but so far nothing more showed up 🙄😳 Confused.com again

Anyway, I am ready to start the new month with full force if nothing happens. I swear to god I will test OPK daily, track temperature and feed myself and my other half all possible conception supplements that I can get my hands on 😅

Quiffy · 29/11/2019 08:25

@SunnyFlover aw man! Well hopefully implantation and if not, loving your enthusiasm for next month!

SunnyFlover · 29/11/2019 09:06

It's af 😒🥺....

Quiffy · 29/11/2019 09:08

Aw no :( that’s super cruel. Hopefully just a dress rehearsal for getting your bfp next month x

Lilice · 29/11/2019 22:54

@SunnyFlover aww no, hope you're okay. Hopefully next month will be the one.

I'm pretty sure next month will be bring some good news for some of us on this board. We have to stay positive! It will happen eventually.

@Lolastanley maybe we're paying more attention to our bodies or maybe sperm creates some sort of reactions in our bodies.

SunnyFlover · 30/11/2019 09:31

@Lilice I hope all of us here get the best Christmas gift of life next month.

I am just worried that my Luteal phase is shorter than should be - 10 days.

Lilice · 30/11/2019 13:07

@SunnyFlover mine is around 10 days too, maybe 9. It's also on the shorter side but my cycles are only 26 days so not long either. I'm seeing a friend today who happens to be a gp. I'll ask her what she thinks, I'll let you know.

SunnyFlover · 30/11/2019 18:07

@Lilice that would be amazing! Let me know please 🌻🌻🌻

SS10x · 30/11/2019 18:14

Hi was wondering if anyone could help for the past week I’ve been getting stabbing pulling or tugging pains in my stomach and I’m 3 days late for my period but I got negative on a test I’m 16dpo is that still too early to test or am I defiantly not pregnant?

Lilice · 30/11/2019 19:01

@SunnyFlover she said 10 was too short and it should be 12. I don't want to alarm you, she isnt a specialist in this field. Mine is also 10 days, maybe less. I've got an appointment with my gp next Tuesday to discuss my blood test results. I'll ask her about that, whether it's an issue and if there's a treatment for it. I will try and push for a referral to a specialist, like gynecologist or endocrinologist.
But please I dont want to alarm you. I've read posts on mumsnet where women did get pregnant with a shorter lutheal phase so it is possible. I have no idea what my lutheal phase was when I conceived previously, but when the night I conceived my son i told my husband dont worry I ovulated last week (according to my app) I wasnt really tracking and we weren't ttc but i had just discovered flo and was intrigued by it. Anyway my point is I was already ovulating later than normal in my cycle back then and I still conceived. I'll let you know what my go tells me on Tuesday.

Sammyclaire22 · 30/11/2019 22:46

Any update @sunnyflover?
I think I'm just entering my fw now @quiffy... I've decided to temp this month too. Think it will be a left ov month so unlikely to get pg (no tube that side) so will get some data for a baseline. I've still been feeling sick and dizzy (nearly 3 weeks now) so gp thinks laberinthitis or vertigo so hoping it goes before this next tww as it sent me mad last time! Hope you are feeling better!
Dh was supposed to be on nights when I'm due to ovulate but now has them off due to hospital appts... just hope he's in the mood Blush
Fingers crossed @whambam89!

Sammyclaire22 · 30/11/2019 22:48

Sorry.guys for some reason it missed a.load of messages off my screen so I replied to old ones.... ignore me!

Sammyclaire22 · 30/11/2019 23:00

@lilice ovia says my luteal phase is 10d too? Both last month's and on average. I'm usually 26 days altogether too. How does that affect things? I'm not very good on the different phases in the cycle! Just wondering if that's why we had issues first time round ttc

Quiffy · 30/11/2019 23:27

@sammyclaire22 that’s rubbish on the dizzy! Especially when it’s such an early sign, no wonder it would drive you mad

Lilice · 01/12/2019 11:49

@Sammyclaire22 apparently 10 days is on the shorter side and ideally it should be 12 days. The longer it is, the better chances for the fertilised egg to implant. Are you going to use opks this month or go by your app? Your phase might be longer than what your app says. I know my flo tells me rubbish. The only thing it gets right is my af.
@SS10x you're still in the running until af shows up. Good luck!

Sammyclaire22 · 01/12/2019 12:28

Im doing both opks and temping this month and think I will in general if I can keep it up over Christmas so I can get a clearer idea on what's happening as guessing made it harder last month! If I get a few months of short phase then I will go to the gp sooner.
I think I'm due to ovulated in a day or two but dh has come down with a bug so don't think we will be bding anyway this month!

Anyone else coming up to ovulation time?!

Lolastanley · 01/12/2019 20:22

According to flo I had my ovulation day today... except I knew it definitely wouldn’t be as it’s so soon. Other apps say next weekend. Crazy how different they are. Anybody else find this?

OP posts:
Lilice · 01/12/2019 20:42

I found that too when I tried to use a different app, so i deleted it lol. My app says ovulation is tomorrow but I dont believe it as ive started daily opk and they're still negative. I try to go by ewcm but I find it confusing as the day after dtd I dont know how to tell the difference if you know what I mean.

Lolastanley · 01/12/2019 21:33

Yeah I usually wait til EWCM which is how I know I’m definitely not Ovulating. This is the first month I’m using OPK but I drink so much fluid and pee so much it’s proving difficult to test lol, but so far it says negative

SunnyFlover · 01/12/2019 22:51

@Lilice thank you so much for the info. I have downloaded additional app for tracking and it seems that maybe my luteal phase was 10 last month, 11 this month, so hoping it is just taking it's sweet time to fall into a normal routine after 10 years of bc pill. Will see how it tracks this months and if still 10/11- will go to doctor. Cycle day 3 today and it seems that my period is soon over, for some reason 3rd time in a row it's been very light and lasted 3 days with some spotting on day 4... is this normal?

Can't wait to start testing OPK, will do it twice a day and log it all... No alcohol and going vegan this month ( apparently it boosts fertility, especially greens). Been on pre- natal vitamins for 3 months now, but will try to change the brand . As you see- leaving nothing to chance for a Christmas baby!!
