Not sure if someone made a second thread, i couldnt seem to find one. Went to post on the old one and it had been closed! Will tag who i can remember off the top of my head, please tag the others or add me to the new one if there's a thread i missed 😊

@MrsTwentySeven @paintfairy @Anon87 @notetaker

@sausage1990 you sound like me, i dont have any real symptoms except for late af, ridiculous amounts of cm and sore boobs. No nausea or anything else. Probably why im convinced ill test negative later! Are you going anywhere nice?

@hatepickinganame I have the exact same symptoms!!!
Late af and lots of CM but no sore boobs (which I don't really get anyway)

Me too! Still no af (but not particularly late) but lots of cm and cramps, and I never get cramps until af is in full swing. Had some dizziness. I'm getting impatient now and may have to test just to know if I should be expecting her to arrive.

From what I’ve read lots of CM is a very good sign! Fingers crossed for all you ladies - we need some BFPs

Hopefully just to early to test, no symptoms other than lack of pre-AF symptoms but I know that can vary so just having to wait and see! Hopefully someone gets a BFP soon!

I've got lots of watery CM no other symptoms yet tho I know from my previous pregnancies they don't usually start til around 5 weeks but I can't remember if that's 5 weeks since the date of my last period or 5 weeks since ovulation -on Friday I think it's 6 weeks since CD1 and 3 weeks +1 since ovulation I have almost a 5 week cycle!! I expect symptoms to start in a couple of weeks atm I just don't feel pregnant at all even though I know two false positives is very unlikely -I'm going to test again a week tomorrow then call the midwife of I'm still pregnant -I'm having to stop myself testing everyday I'm totally paranoid!! Good luck to everyone testing are you testing tonight then @Hatepickinganame xx

I've just read that folic acid can elongate your menstrual cycle....🙄
Typical!

Yeah..
I didn't believe it. But when I started taking pregnacare conception my cycles got prolonged by 5 days! Now I switched to Proceive Max and I ovulated yesterday, so my cycle should go back to 26 days...
Oh what a pain... I can't wait to see if we scored this month or not! X

@Hatepickinganame the lack of symptoms however have made it easier to forget about the TWW and also made me more sure that I'll be OK not testing unless af is late. I would love to be pregnant and the sooner the better so I am hopeful in that sense but as I don't have symptoms at all I also think it's probably unlikely and that's nature's decision... Its kind of nice to be in that mindset atm - it probably won't last haha and I will likely test sooner but I'm going with it for now. I can't bear the sadness of a BFN.

Yes we're going to West Wales - a small seaside village near Cardigan. It's my favourite place. It's forecast to rain the whole time so we're planning some really relaxing times - dvds, crafts (I love sewing), jigsaw puzzles, also going to take some Lush face masks and bath bombs. A well deserved break and quality sister time!

Good luck this evening btw. I'll be thinking of you and praying for your BFP xxx

@sausage1990 ah that sounds amazing! And thanks to everyone for the good luck messages, only 5 and a half hours to go, eeek! Im still convinced it'll be negative though. Especially after seeing people say vitamins and folic acid can lengthen your cycle, even though im rubbish at taking them everyday 😂

Hello all, I've been lurking in the background. 1 DPO so I think @sparkler07 and I are on a similar time frame. 4months TTC so far which I know isn't much but in the past I've gotten pregnant easily so these few months have thrown me a bit. I have been using OPKs everyday (sometimes several times a day as I bought a box of 50😂) because I wasn't sure exactly what my body was doing. I have been having a strange LH surge (positive OPK) on day 8 of my cycle -last two cycles that I tested, and then another surge on day 14&15 which I'm taking as the true ovulation. This month I decided to test OPK everyday so I have a true idea of what is going on so I'll continue to test until I get/miss AF. I have a 3 pack of FRER from my last (hopeful) cycle which I will use closer to af.
Good luck for all those due to test and good luck for March for all those with AF xx

I've been taking vitamins for ages. Currently boots conception. Hasn't altered my cycles.

@paintfairy my cycles haven't changed with preconception vitamins either. I've been taking pregnacare preconception since October. Xx

That's good! I was very sceptical how can vitamins alter the cycles... But it seems it happens to many.

Anyway I have been researching like crazy. So now I am drinking the Proceive Max (nasty stuff and 50 quid! 😝) I also eat big breakfasts and drink full fat organic milk. I ordered the Conceive Plus Lube in those little applicators.. But only used it once, don't want my husband to drown 😅🤣.

I ovulated yesterday/today according to the ovulation tests... We did what needs to be done and will do again.

I just hope that in two weeks my AF will not arrive. That's it. I had enough...

Good luck to everyone 😘

My vitamins haven't altered my cycles - I take strong start from NaturesBest

Hello everyone!

I'm still around, took a teeny break from posting over the past couple of days. Been catching up and would like to say good luck to everyone for your BFPs! It kind of feels like baby bingo - who's going to get the full house??!!!

Not had any obvious symptoms over the past few days but maybe that's me not noticing... It's so early anyway. CD21 today so 4 days to go until testing. Hopefully it doesn't drag! We never normally celebrate Valentine's Day as our anniversary is in March. Maybe this will give us a reason?

Also I just wanted to add something - it's a bit soppy so sorry in advance! Just that I hope everyone is being kind to themselves (including treats!) during your journeys. It can be such an intense time for me and I'm only at the start. So I can't imagine what it can be like for others. Take care of yourselves everyone

I feel a bit more hopeful with you other ladies saying it hasnt affected your cycle
To be fair though this is only my 2nd cycle since the coil so it could just be things settling down. 26 days to 31 days and counting seems a big difference though? Im so unsure of whats going on. I started to feel really sick earlier which happens with pms but usually cause im hungry and id already eaten. 2 and a half hours til i can do a test! But i need to pee now 😂 will have to hope 2 hours is long enough 😂😂😂

@MrsTwentyEight how are you? Any af yet?

@hatepickinganame so excited for you to pee!! 😂🤞🏾
Still no AF and BFN again. I’ve given up. I think I didn’t ovulate despite the LH surge. Typical on our first TTC.

@Dreamer022020 you are so right - TTC can really take it’s toll, drink all the wine and eat all the cake, don’t change anything you do until you see them sweet 2 lines - don’t put your life on hold!! 😊

@Hatepickinganame it you’re not pregnant then I dunno wtf is happening 😂😂 roll on testing time!

@MrsTwentyEight so sorry, how late is AF?

No need to poas, ive just started spotting. Af will be in full flow tomorrow 😔 and no bloody warning either, still not having my usual cramps!

Oh no @Hatepickinganame, you never know it might not turn into AF!

I'm still hanging around in limbo land with you, not late yet but none of my normal pre-AF signs. Nothing to do but wait and see I guess!

Regarding the vitamins I haven't noticed them affect my cycle but I've read that they can. My cycles are variable anyway. I think sometimes TTC affects your cycle as much as anything because you think/stress about it so much and that then has a physical manifestation as well.

@Hatepickinganame Noooo that's so disappointing for you! I'm sorry af is in her way... Sending a virtual hug.
Xx

@whatsthecraic91 It really can... I haven't been drinking lately but I've been having a few cakes and sweets here and there to treat myself! Just bought myself a new pair of earrings too

@Hatepickinganame Nooo I've still got my fingers crossed that it stays as spotting!

@Hatepickinganame balls anyway!
