Long Cycle girls TTC :)

[xoJellyBean]

Hi everyone who read this! My typical cycle is 34-37 days long but everyone I talk to seems to have shorter cycles. I'm looking for others like myself who have long cycles and are ttc :) we are trying for our first baby x

@pol96 I can definitely see shadows on both. Have you got a FRER? I reckon got would show up better x

@xoJellyBean @Newbie0818 my frers arrived today, and I have some cheap sainsburys ones too.. Don't want to break the frers out until there's a bit more on the cheaper ones though 😅 My dp can see the lines too (so at least I'm not seeing things lol)

@pol96 so exciting! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼✨✨✨

Does anyone else do seed cycling by any chance?

Full blown af cramps here sooo I'll be expecting her any second lol

@Newbie0818 I've heard of it, my cousin does it and I know she texted me about it one time. There's a lady on Instagram I follow who gives seminars about it too

@xoJellyBean oh nice. I’ve just started and am a bit confused. Technically you’re meant to do day 1-14 with flax and pumpkin, and days 15-28 (post ov) with sunflower and sesame. I’m just unsure whether to keep going with the first two until ovulation and then switch, or to just follow the usual 28 day cycle. Any idea?

@xoJellyBean sorry about af cramps :(

@xoJellyBean I'm so sorry about af xx

@Newbie0818 I will have a look after work and get the name of the lady on Instagram for you :)

@Pol96 gutted but I just checked and I'm on cycle day 28?! So maybe it's not af

@xoJellyBean I really hope it's not! Tbh I though af was starting for me a couple of days ago cd27/28 now CD 30.. I was sure I was going to wake up the next morning with af there.. Instead I had a higher temp..

@Pol96 omg I hope it isn't af. I've never had a cycle this short!! I haven't done anything differently either. Oh the complications of being a woman lol x

@xoJellyBean fingers crossed for you! I've never had one this short either.. I'm also fairly sure last months lp was 9 days.. I'm on 12dpo now..
Sometimes I hate being a woman.. Especially when it comes to things like this.. X

@Pol96 hmmmm nope I'm spotting now! Looks like it's af, 28 day cycle!! What on earth 😂 really hope your next test is a blazing positive! X

@xoJellyBean that sucks, I'm sorry! Big hugs.. But 28 days.. That's 'average'! x
I'm genuinely terrified of tomorrow, atm my chart is "possibly triphasic from CD 27" according to ff.. I'm more scared of a temp drop than poas..

@xoJellyBean sorry about the spotting :/

@pol96 that is a lovely chart! Can’t wait to see what my first one looks like at the end of this cycle.

Thanks @Newbie0818 I'm hoping that it's a good sign.. I only charted the end of my cycle last month and it looked like a hill over 9 days. This month looks much better, not sure if it's the pregnacare, potentially pregnant, or something else..

Feel like af might be coming

@Pol96 how so?! Is it cramping? I had some pink spotting then it went to brown and now I have nothing when I wipe or on a panty liner... cramps gone. My body is playing tricks. Your temp chart looks really cool. I will def have to try this x

@xoJellyBean sounds a bit like implantation! Good luck! X
I just feel really weird.. I don't trust the tests that I did and I keep getting a few cramps and like tight/pulling/pressure feelings across my uterus.. Why are pms and pregnancy symptoms so similar? Its stressing me out big time!

@Pol96 still no flow yet just more spotting. Although I just bawled my eyes out at Monty Dons show cause his dog died😭 emotions all over the place! Are you testing in the morning again?

@xoJellyBean same here with no flow.. All the weird cramps/pressure feelings seem to come and go.. I fully expecting to be out tomorrow and those test to have just been dodgy ones. I'll still test unless af is here though. Are you testing?

@Pol96 but you've had 3 tests with a line!! Defo something there :) I'm not testing tomorrow, I'm going to presume this is af! Fingers crossed for you tomorrow though x

@xoJellyBean I'm so scared it'll be negative or end up being a cp.. I think it'll depend on my temp if I test, if its still relatively high I'll test but if it gets too close to my cover line I won't. Has your spotting turned in to more now? If it is af at least your cycle was a good length! X

I think it's getting clearer.. Any thoughts? (top no edit, middle and bottom are the invert and contrast options on the femometer hcg recognition) still not believing it until its undeniably positive..

@Pol96 I think mine is af, I'm just not going to dwell on it and be thankful for a decent cycle :) there is def a line there. It's too much to just be faulty? How sensitive are those tests? Maybe try the frer tomorrow and see how it shows xx
