Not sure how often OP goes on!!! Eeeek so thought I'd start a new one as running out of space. Hope that's ok....

@NicNac85 I usually get cramps on the first day of af, but I just don’t know my body anymore. Really long cycles this month and last, not sure if ovulating, long story. Month 4 of ttc and got a bfn on Friday. Maybe too early? Maybe af won’t come? No clue haha.

@MrsEmilyB I’m ok albeit worried now. Officially longest cycle I’ve ever had today (47), so I’m quite anxious about fertility etc. I know that’s silly as there’s so many women out there who have actual issues with it and I’m still new to the ttc game, but I can’t help worrying.

So this is definitely tmi, but had anyone else ever experience this. The past few days my vaginal walls have been super thick, so much so I can barely get my finger in there to feel my cervix... anyone heard of that?

Help girlies - I was due to ovulate thurs/fri -

Have I missed the surge, not ovulated yet or still to ovulate? Any help appreciated xxx

@Newbie0818 that’s a v long cycle! How long were you on bc? Xxx

@Mrsirvine So tough, I know everyone is in the same boat but lockdown is still a struggle, One day it will be over

Is 19DPO far enough past ovulation that I wouldn’t need to wait for FMU? I was thinking should I wait (probably giving myself excuses not to it though)?

Xxx

@MrsEmilyB I think we’d get on too!! So does DH get a day off today or are you just going to see how the mood takes you? I’m going to sneak off upstairs now & put a thong on instead of the undies he’s just seen me put on 😉

@NicNac85 it’s good to know where you stand and we got your back xxx

@NicNac85 I don’t think you need fmu but I wouldn’t drink a lot and I would hold for as long as you can, pee in a pot to ensure it’s dark and dip stick lol xxx

Hi @Mrsirvine I don’t think they know although I did have a M/C last September, I think they would still be surprised!

@Newbie0818 hope you get some answers soon, I know what you mean about not knowing your body. This TTC makes me forget what my body has been doing all those years every month.

Xxx

@MrsEmilyB Morning! All good here, boobs still sore but no other symptoms have popped up yet. I keep getting butterflies thinking about getting a BFP. How many days are you?

@NicNac85 19dpo I would imagine a strong positive any time of day, I have my fingers crossed for you! Let us know!

@Mrsirvine I was on it for 11 years. Never, ever, will I go on the pill again. Ever.

@NicNac85 lol it would be a lovely surprise. Would you tell them straight away or wait until 12 weeks xxx

@Minster2012 thank you lovely, definitely a mix of all three, I just find it so exciting for all of us.

@Newbie0818 omg I hear ye! I was the exact same m, was fine for years then it was obv not agreeing with me anymore and totally messed me up. Came off it in October and have had 2mc’s since. I do believe my body needed a clear out. Am really hoping for a 3rd time lucky bfp soon.

Ps I have two kids already. I always feel like when I write the above bit it sounds like I’m waiting on my first baby. I have 2 girls (10&7) and my dh has a son who lives mostly with us (4) xxx

@Newbie0818 if your cycle goes on into this week I would phone your GP & get bloods done lovely xx

@NicNac85 I agree try to hold your wee & not drink much but even upto this afternoon it will give you the right result 🍀🤞🏻Xx

@MrsEmilyB good morning 🌻! I am ok, af appears to have left the building! (Does a happy dance) trying to find ways to not stress, any tips?!

@SmileyT - definitely hold out for that g-tickler coming back in stock 😂 love the TWW articles! I've found another "supporting implantation in the 2ww". I am a total control freak and need to feel like I'm doing something. www.tomakeamommy.com/tips-for-the-luteal-period-how-i-boosted-chances-of-implantation-and-pregnancy/

@NicNac85 - Well, if you're feeling blue at any point, come on over here and join a discussion with us about smoking Bird poo, cock rings and bullets. That'll give you a giggle for sure!

@Bic501 - welcome! I'm not sure about your cycle, but I've learned that our bodies are fickle things during this process 😂

@newbie0818 - it's totally understandable. My cycle before last was 47 days - unheard of for me! The homeopath said if its a one off its likely stress or any hormonal contraceptions previously being taken still floating around messing up cycles.

@Mrsirvine - looks like you're yet to ovulate. However, your timings might not be serving you well for accuracy! LH is at its lowest in the morning, and highest between 12 and 8pm. Id be testing at about 12, 4 and 8 if possible!

@Minster2012 - haha ooh cheeky 😝 he absolutely does not get a day off today 😜 although I think we have boinked ourselves out a bit so it'll be a low energy quickie haha!

@myhappystreak - ahh it's so exciting! I get that feeling when I think of a BFP too! I'm due to ovulate on Wednesday so just lots of baby dancing happening!

@NicNac85 thanks, keep us posted with testing :) good luck! 🤞🏼

@Mrsirvine gosh sorry about your MCs :( I came off in August and no hint of any sort of pregnancy. I guess that’s what worries me most, it would be nice to know that I CAN get pregnant, if you get me?

@Minster2012 that’s the plan. My doc has already put a blood form on the system for when my next cycle starts, though I’ve just been online and I don’t think my surgery are taking any apt’s now 😭

@mrsemilyb thanks, I’m definitely going to be trying some natural ovulation remedies next month. Also going to be DTD every other day religiously as this month we were very relaxed with it all and potentially missed chances. Better get the knob hoops out eh!

@RobinRose - yes! Let me post some articles. I spend a LOT of time reading if you guys haven't figured that out yet haha.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

@MrsEmilyB thanks for that! I am cd17 and normally have a 28 day cycle on the button . Can’t believe I mightn’t have ovulated yet! Lol! I’ve never tracked before so not sure when I usually ovulate. Will poas at 12,4&8 today . Even just for comparison for next month to see if there’s a pattern. Thanks! Xxx

@Newbie0818 I totally know what you mean. It’s catch 22 lol. Hopefully you catch soon. To be honest too , With the two girls I have, I didn’t have sex in the fertile window at all, they were both conceived out of it. So I have to remember to just go with the flow and not try too hard, easier said than done tho isn’t it lol . Fingers crossed for you xxx

@newbie0818 - see if there are any homeopaths in your area? Mine has given a remedy as part of my plan to help clear contraception hormones out of my system 😊 really hopeful.

Talking of "doing everything" - ladies can we have some old wives tales? Especially after @Adrianoska 's bird poop success!! Let's have a light hearted giggle.

Hips up after sex!
Legs up the wall yoga nightly!
Seed cycling!
Not eating cold or raw food after ovulation!
Keeping your feet warm during the luteal phase!

What is seed cycling?! Lol

I totally agree with hips up and legs up, surely gravity can’t do any harm lol xxx

@Adrianoska amazing news! Really hope this is your BFP with a sticky bean xx

@Newbie0818 I would wait a few days and see if AF comes. Maybe test again if not? Unclear irregular cycles must be so annoying right now.

I'm also joining the sore boob brigade! They've been sore for the past week. I'm only a few dpo I think so not PG related. I had to get out my extra sturdy sports bra for a jog yesterday!

Hope everyone is having a good Sunday x

@MrsEmilyB I remember you mentioning seed cycling a couple weeks ago, I'm not normally a fan of seeds but fuck it I'm off to the shops and I can chuck some in my oats in a morning 🤣 That blog is really interesting, some other things I'll definitely chuck in that can't hurt. I'd love to try acupuncture when lockdown is over aswell.

@Mrsirvine if you got pregnant previously outside what you thought was your fertile period you may naturally ovulate late, with a 28day cycle you could be ovulating anywhere between day 12 and day 18 which would mean you could be fertile between day 7 and day 19, so hopefully it's still coming 🤞

@Adrianoska so exciting!!!! Oh my god, I'm crossing everything single finger and toe for you lovely!!!!

@CoronaBaby and @vintagemoo we'll be testing at the same time. I think I'm going to be on Sat 16th May though I'll probs year on the Friday night instead. Literally feels like 3 months away 🤦🏻‍♀️ Uber sore boobs last night but nothing really this morning. Though the puppies are feeling juggleliscious, I must say!

@eljoy welcome! So sorry to hear about your story, that must have been awful to hear as a 16 yo!!!! Everything crossed for your journey too so you can stick two fingers up at that doctor's prognosis 🖕🏻
