I can't seem to see a thread for this so thought I'd start one. Any other girls with cycles shorter than 28 days please join and let's discuss! Mine fluctuates from 24 to 26 days, I usually ovulate day 10 on a 24 day cycle and yet to track when I ov on a 26 cycle but I would imagine it's day 12. I have a normal LP of 14 days but would love to have a longer follicular phase. 8 months of trying. I'm 34, husband is 37.

How you feeling today @Nat4392? Still testing tomorrow?
Did you test again @slimshadyscousin?
Hope everyone's well today! I'm testing on Thursday 😬

Feeling alright. Absolutely no symptoms and just don’t “feel” any different so not getting my hopes up this month.
I won’t test at all unless AF is late. She’s due tomorrow but last month she kept me waiting all day and didn’t show til 5pm which was a bummer, I’d rather just wake up and come on! I’ll test Wednesday if she’s not shown up by then.
How are you feeling? Any symptoms? X

notyetamumbuttrying · 08/06/2020 12:31

Good idea! @Nat4392 best of luck! I always have symptoms but it's always pms so I can't read in to mine. Optimistic for Thursday anyway. Just excited for this week really as so many ppl are testing/due on.

Well I have “symptoms” but I’m now getting used to ignoring them as clearly they’ve always been pms and not pg. I’ve reallyyy tried to ignore it this month and I do feel more relaxed about it. Accepting AF is on her way tends to help when she actually does show. Last month I had a full on meltdown and I don’t want to do that again!

notyetamumbuttrying · 08/06/2020 13:33

I know exactly how you feel @Nat4392 think I've been calmer this month as well and trying to ignore my obvious pms!

Hi all :)- Just wondered if anyone is still on here and if so, how everyone is getting on. Would love to hear from you all @notyetamumbuttrying @MrsTtobe @Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear @slimshadyscousin @LuluFireray fingers crossed xxx

@Annabel19 I miscarried in august :( had a chemical first cycle after and no luck since. Hope you're having better luck x

Annabel19 · 08/11/2020 15:11

@lulufireray I’m really sorry to hear that. Hope you are doing ok. No luck here either .. we’ve been trying a year now, had one chemical in May and nothing else. Cycles are varying from 22-26 days. I’ve had initial blood tests and booked in for pelvic scan. Fingered crossed for you xxx

notyetamumbuttrying · 09/11/2020 22:20

@lulufireray sorry to hear darlin, hope you're doing ok x
@Annabel19 I'm ok thanks, how are you? Hope the tests go well x

Hi @Annabel19 I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks back in April but... I'm now almost 27 weeks pregnant with a little girl. I literally conceived on day cd 5 so just keep trying. Wishing you lots of luck ❤

notyetamumbuttrying · 10/11/2020 21:00

@MrsTtobe that early? That's amazing!! I don't know why they say early ov is so bad?! All the immature eggs talk and that they're hard to fertilise, well clearly not! Massive congratulations 🥳 a girl is what I'd like given the choice. I just need to get my Dh's sperm up to par now! His SA was abysmal but at least we have answers now and a way forward. Will be getting a repeat SA in a matter of weeks hopefully 🙏🏾

@MrsTtobe That’s absolutely great news. Sounds like you’ve had a difficult time as well though earlier on. So glad you’ve got good news now xxxx @lulufireray fingers crossed that short cycles aren’t so bad. The waiting is so hard though!!

MrsTtobe · 11/11/2020 05:49

@notyetamumbuttrying @Annabel19 thank you ladies. I conceived my daughter with short cycles too, she's 3 in March. She was also conceived last day of my period, cd 5.
My cycles were 26 days max but my shortest was 19/20. I did look into it and took vit b complex and i conceived the first month and it did lengthen my cycle by a couple of days. Sadly that ended in miscarriage though.
Wishing you all the best. Xx

Annabel19 · 11/11/2020 08:12

@MrsTtobe that’s really encouraging. Thanks for the positivity. All the best of luck xxxx
