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

@Newbie0818 SAME. I have so much cm tonight! My boobs are sore on the sides and I thought I was gonna throw up just before I ate dinner... it's going to drive us both crazy 😭 is this kind of cm fertile ?? I thought I was normally dry before af showed

Omg @xoJellyBean really?! Oh god I'm praying 🙏🏻 and I'm not even remotely religious haha! I usually go sticky and then dry for a good week before. I'm going to DTD tonight and tomorrow just in case haha. Ah! Really trying not to read into anything 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@xoJellyBean what sort of sickiness did yours feel like? I can only compare mine to when I've had a migraine and the nausea with that, but I haven't got a headache

@Newbie0818 literally can't cope with ttc!! It's so stressful 😭😭 I got a really tired feeling all of a sudden then the feeling in my stomach as if I was going to hurl... it passed after about half an hour? Then I had a toastie. Been fine since! Wasn't starving either!

@xoJellyBean oh man! Ok, we need to be zen and patient. We can do this!

@xoJellyBean @Newbie0818 Keeping my fingers crossed for you both! The 2WW sounds like a rollercoaster

Thanks @RosebudTTC it's a total mind f** haha. Just have to keep reminding myself that pms and progesterone are exactly the same as pregnancy symptoms...

@RosebudTTC it's really awful lol I just feel like it's never going to happen. Us women go through so much 🤯😫 will just assume I'm not pregnant and try not to be disappointed if af shows tomorrow 🥰 we will all get through it!

@xoJellyBean I agree. Hope she doesn't show! 🤞🏼

🤞🏻 for both of us @Newbie0818

I think I'll need to start a new thread soon, think these stop at 1000 posts 🤣

I've got my fingers crossed for you all! 🤞

@xoJellyBean yeah I think they stop at 1000 too x

@Newbie0818 thanks so much for replying ☺️ I don't recal having long cycles, but I was on the pill for 13 years from the age of 18, so hard to remember now. I've been started taking Pregnacare from this evening, so hopefully that helps. Am also reading 'taking charge of your fertility' and finding that really interesting so far x

My temp has dropped .4! I'm for sure out now. Good luck @Newbie0818 x

@xoJellyBean we're like twins lol, my temp has dropped to lowest it's ever been (36.08) so I'm sure I'm out. Let's hope for a miracle now 🙌🏼 And yes a new thread is definitely needed, I prefer this little thread to the big buses!

@MintGreenLife ah they're probably just sorting themselves out then. Hopefully you'll catch quickly x

@Newbie0818 thanks so much 😘

16dpo and dropped from 36.78 yesterday to 36.54 today. Do we think I'm out? Still no sign of AF. I convinced myself I was pregnant yesterday, ARGH.

@Newbie0818 omg we are!! Mine dropped to 36.0 🤣 how are you feeling? I literally feel the same, doesn't feel like af is coming :(

@Darcy86 you're the same as us. Praying for a miracle here lol I'm 13dpo today! Have you tested yet?

Still feeling crampy but not sure about anything else now @xoJellyBean I'm just off to pick up my puppy so I'm not too down about it!

@Darcy86 that's still fairly high so hopefully not

@xoJellyBean so frustrating isn't it. No I'm planning to test tomorrow if AF doesn't arrive today, and tbh it doesn't feel like it will at the moment. What a difference a day makes though. Yesterday I definitely felt pregnant, I just felt off all day and was exhausted. Today I don't. Not sure how that works!

Thanks @Newbie0818 I did tell myself that this morning too, will see what tomorrow brings but will try to keep level headed (don't know why I bother to keep saying that, it never works)

FX for miracles all round eh...

P.S send us some puppy pics when you get back....!!

@Newbie0818 omg send us pictures!!! 😍😍

@Darcy86 good luck for your test, your temp actually isn't as bad as mine lol so you're defo still in 🤞🏻

@Pol96 do you know why the optimised option levels out dips etc? I've attached both options.

Hey ladies, how are you all doing? I’m still waiting to ovulate. Feeling like all I do lately is pee on a stick 😂 I’m CD24 now and still no sign.

@xoJellyBean I think it's to help compare to the reference charts and other people's as it smooths out the fluctuations.

@Darcy86 is it still above your cover line?

@Newbie0818 can't wait to see pictures!

@Suki2020 I hope ovulation happens for you soon

@Pol96 I've actually only been charting BBT since 5dpo, so for about 11 days. This might mean I can't read anything into it at all until I've got a full cycle, right? I don't seem to have a cover line at the moment. Happy to share the chart if it's worth it though :)
