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

Still could be @xoJellyBean ;) try to relax this weekend.

I'm ok, just having awful cramps below my bellybutton radiating through to my back 😭 wish I knew what was going on in there.

hollywhooo · 12/06/2020 19:55

I’m feeling run down too @xoJellyBean i’ve just got into bed at 7.55 on a Friday night haha!! Wild

xoJellyBean · 12/06/2020 21:01

@Newbie0818 it's a pity we couldn't have mini ultrasounds at home lol

@hollywhooo what dpo are you now? I'm having no sf symptoms that I usually do 🙈

I think 10 DPO today. My last few cycles have been so long i cant even remember what symptoms i get now but i’ve got a bad headache and my boobs have been a bit sore but nothing horrendous. I’m fully expecting AF!

xoJellyBean · 12/06/2020 21:57

@hollywhooo when are you expecting af? And are you gonna test?🙈 my friend is in labour right now as well!

@xoJellyBean implantation dip?

Darcy86 · 13/06/2020 09:46

Morning everyone! @xoJellyBean I had a temperature drop the past 2 days as well so I thought I was definitely out, as well as the beginning of AF cramps, and this morning it's gone up again, no idea what's going on. I'm around 13dpo. Planning on testing Wednesday if AF doesn't arrive before. Trying not to get my hopes up is so bloody hard!

xoJellyBean · 13/06/2020 10:20

@Newbie0818 here's me telling you yours is implantation and I freak out over my temp drop 😂

@Darcy86 do you have a pic of your chart? I've had a dull ache/cramp on my left side the last two days. Hate the not knowing aspect of this!!

OP posts:
Newbie0818 · 13/06/2020 13:17

@xoJellyBean don't worry I get it haha! Every tiny change is terrifying

xoJellyBean · 13/06/2020 17:00

@Newbie0818 have you any other symptoms?

OP posts:
Newbie0818 · 13/06/2020 17:14

@xoJellyBean nothing that wouldn't just be progesterone, it's too early if I have ovulated. Cramps on and off for a couple of days, lower backache (they've both stopped now), creamy/ watery cm, dodgy belly yesterday. Bit tired. Apart from that nothing 🤷🏼‍♀️ how about you?

xoJellyBean · 13/06/2020 17:17

@Newbie0818 did you do your temp today?? I'm also tired but that dull ache I had has stopped now. Shooting pains in my right boob too lol af due in 3-4 days🙈

OP posts:
Newbie0818 · 13/06/2020 17:27

@xoJellyBean hopeful! I did take it, it rose the tiniest bit but still below cover line :/

Newbie0818 · 13/06/2020 17:39

Saying that, it does seem to be slightly above cover 🤔

xoJellyBean · 13/06/2020 18:12

@Newbie0818 oohhhh defo over cover!! I downloaded FF too so I could look at my chart on a different app 😂😂

OP posts:
Newbie0818 · 13/06/2020 18:38

@xoJellyBean same haha! I was using Flo but I like that ff had a cervix position option 🤣 I would give anything for my boobs to hurt right now!

xoJellyBean · 13/06/2020 18:59

@Newbie0818 omg I don't even know where to start with cervix tracking 🙈🙈 barely started temping this month lol I think it might be good that we both don't have the usual pms boobs 🤩

OP posts:
Newbie0818 · 13/06/2020 19:31

@xoJellyBean haha I'm a bit addicted 🙈

xoJellyBean · 13/06/2020 21:29

@Newbie0818 there's no signs of af for me and now I've got this horrible feeling that my body is going to be super mean and give me a late period 😭

OP posts:
Newbie0818 · 13/06/2020 21:58

Aww @xoJellyBean I hope not! When are you planning to test?

xoJellyBean · 13/06/2020 22:03

@Newbie0818 tbh I don't even know when to lol maybe when I reach cd32/33?? What about you?

Hi all, so glad to have fellow long cyclers 😁 So we all get frustrated with these long cycles, long waits for ovulation, then waiting to test... everything just takes longer for us, whereas most people have a quicker turn around and less waiting time... and I have zero patience!
My cycles can range from 28 to 107 (and I'm not sure long that one would have lasted as had to take Provera to start next cycle), so a range between 33-43 days when the going is ‘good’. I was never on the pill or any other form of contraception so I can’t blame that for long cycles. Although, just this week I have found out that I have PCOS after 4 years of tests and ttc baby #1. So it’s IVF route for us. Not overweight and not overly hairy 🦁, so don’t have those symptoms of PCOS, only the irregular cycles for me.
Every cycle I hope. I always get bad pms, but I still hope that my pms symptoms may be early pregnancy symptoms 🙈 I’m addicted to poas too, I never learn 😊 But I have to poas as I don’t know when period is due... ever! 🤷‍♀️
Great to rant now and again. Skim passed this message 😄
Back to you ladies 🙌
