@BFP2020 Thanks lovely x yeah my O day tends to be CD19-21 each cycle, and cycles normally about 32 days at the moment x

@LV1987 my LP is 12 days too! Hope you get that peak soon and have lots of baby making sexy time 😊 xx

@Missgoldilocks was going to say good luck for today then realised you put Thursday not Tuesday 🙈 haha never mind! Hope you're doing ok? Xx

@LV1987 How long have your last few cycles been? I have had a 12 day LP for the past I say 12 cycles so last month when I was a day late I got so excited so mine was 13 days last month I am trying to look at that as a good sign. The longer the LP the more time for Implantation to occur.

I am on Cycle 19 now but it took 2 years for me to get pregnant with DD but I didn't have any of these pains and I was younger so I was way more relaxed. I have about 10 days a month without pain from CD 3- CD 13 then I have O pain and the PMS straight after. I am hoping they will find something that they can fix straight away Monday week or else find nothing and I can go ahead and try IUI in AUG but hope its not something they can't treat. xx

BFP2020 · 07/07/2020 12:38

@Mumofboys17 You similar to me too so. xx

Girls how many times around FW are ye DTD?

LV1987 · 08/07/2020 09:55

@BFP2020 I came off the pill in December, and then went 44 days between my withdrawal bleed and my first period. After that, I had 39, 37, 37 and 34. CD21 today and this mornings OPK was stark white, so 🤞 for an afternoon peak, I feel quite crampy in my bum, which is normally a good sign post for me.

We've been trying to DTD every day during FW this time, as when we've done every other day, we've managed to miss the most important days because ovulation hadn't fallen how we'd anticipated it would. I figured if we do every day then it's not such a big deal if we need a night off either! I just really hope this month is it, because I'm getting quite bored of it now! I appreciate that must sound rich when I've only been trying for 6 months, but I think this seems to be the point where a lot of people hit that "why the frigg hasn't this happened yet" slump. Kinda like the 3 year itch at a new job 😂

Danni2019 · 08/07/2020 10:37

@LV1987 I go through stages of thinking why hasn't it happened yet and then after think I just have to keep going and believe it will happen one day. I think it is definitely harder for you guys with such long cycles as at least for me once my period is out the way I only have a week then I usually get my peak so don't have that big long wait for ovulation. The TWW bit for me is always the hardest as fertile week comes around so quick for me.

LV1987 · 08/07/2020 13:15

@Danni2019 I don't think I would mind the long cycles quite as much if they would just be frigging regular. I'm so sick if second guessing my body and not trusting that it will just do what it's supposed to, I hate it. I've just done my lunchtime OPK and still BLANK. This was when I got my peak last month, so now I'm thinking wtaf is happening - am I in for an even longer cycle this month, or have I missed my peak? I had a high on Saturday, which I really thought was going to develop into a peak, but perhaps that was my levels on their way down after peaking the day before and I missed it? Any thoughts much appreciated because I'm about ready to chuck my pot of piss at the wall right now 😂😂

Danni2019 · 08/07/2020 20:20

@LV1987 It could be that you got your peak after your high one and just missed it. When I use these OPKs I sometimes miss my peak. I get a high one and then try to test again in the middle of the day and at the end and then sometimes by the next morning it is back to low again. I assume as I have a positive on my clearblue ovulation stick that my peak has either came or is on its way so I just leave it there as a peak. Anyway could it just be that you missed the peak this time?

LV1987 · 09/07/2020 08:53

@Danni2019 it could be, I was stuck in a car for around seven hours that day, driving the kids back to their mums for the rest of summer. I just don't know what to think, I thought I had got regular enough that I could leave behind all this guessing whether I am in the TWW or not, but I suppose not.

Where are you in your cycle now? Xx

Boo2020 · 09/07/2020 09:13

Hi Ladies, how is everybody doing? Sorry I've been absent for some time,I felt I was just getting way to stressed & driving myself insane over it all..

Anyway a little bit about me for those who are new here. I'm 36 trying for baby number 2, my ds is 11 and I've been on the pill for well that time too 😂 came off the pill last November and it was May I went to the doctors as I still didnt have any period, they prescribed me a pill for 4 weeks to kick start it back and it did (thank god) I'm on CD38 and 11 dpo ( long ass cycle)..took a pregnancy test, one lastnight and one this morning...what do you think? I can see a second line..am I going mental???

@LV1987 hopefully things start to regulate soon in your cycle I had about 6 months of irregular cycles and know how frustrating it can be but hey now I have regular cycles and still I'm no further forward. I'm only CD3 so a long way to go for me but at least the fun part begins soon. Unfortunately was back at the doctor for a blood test and my thyroid level is low again so still not balanced out. I really think it is this that is stopping me conceiving by could be something else. Thought it was sorted but more medication and hopefully balances out again. My OH phoned the clinic for sperm analysis yesterday and there was an 80 person back log and looking like end of August before he can be seen. Will just have to keep trying and hope we get lucky for now. X

@Missgoldilocks good luck with your dye test today fingers crossed that all is well x

Danni2019 · 09/07/2020 09:23

@BFP2020 I definitely see a second line on the 11DPO one. Fingers crossed that this is your BFP xx

Missgoldilocks · 09/07/2020 09:54

@BFP2020 omg!!! I I see a line!! Omggggg I'm so excited for you congratulations!!! ❤️ ❤️

@Danni2019 thank you xxx I'm going now will let you all know x

Boo2020 · 09/07/2020 10:20

Boo2020 · 09/07/2020 11:53

So I've just got back from the shop (I went the pharmacy instead) got a cheapy and a first response.....its looks like a BFP, not sure how I feel as I was convinced I wasn't going get a BFP for a while yet...

I've attached the tests ❤

LAnna20 · 09/07/2020 12:31

@Boo2020 congratulations! It certainly does look like a BFP!
@LV1987 I'm with you at the 6 month point! I also started trying in December and know how your feel.

Missgoldilocks · 09/07/2020 14:57

@Boo2020 ah sorry! Congratulations that's amazing! Ihow long have you been trying? What did you do this month?

@Mumofboys17 @Danni2019 @LV1987 hey girls how are you all? I had my tubes flushed and he said everything look shealthy and good!

Boo2020 · 09/07/2020 15:25

Thank you ladies Smile @LAnna20 @Missgoldilocks..

I'm not really sure how far I am or even how long my cycles are because I've not even really had a natural AF or a actual cycle 😕, dont suppose anyone here would know?!. I came off the pill at the beginning of November last year. I've been using OPK to track my ovulation, from the 1st of June when I had AF for 5 days (brought on by the pill the doctor proscribed me) after that I started using OPKs, i had a peak on 25, 26, 27 June and had intercourse on the 27th (literally once)..

I will post my 2ww symptoms later if it will help anyone. (I'm getting a lot of pulling low down as we speak)..

Attached is what my opks looked like for the 3 days peak (only one of the days there but it was similar on the other 2 days) then on the 4th day (28th June) the line was hardly even there..

Danni2019 · 09/07/2020 18:21

@Boo2020 sorry didn't realise I was tagging the wrong person too. Congratulations so excited for you xx

Danni2019 · 09/07/2020 18:23

@Missgoldilocks that's great news about your tubes at least now you know everything is healthy. Did your OH have his sperm analysis already too? X

Missgoldilocks · 09/07/2020 18:48

@Danni2019 thank you! Yeah he did a few months back and that was fine too so guess it's just a waiting game x

Boo2020 · 09/07/2020 19:43

My 2ww symptoms if it helps anyone!

1dpo - creamy light cervical mucus
2dpo - stitches on my right side, feeling bloated.
3dpo - a few sharp pains LH test was high
4dpo - stitches and light cramps (as if AF was coming)
5dpo - light aches in boobs on and off (again like AF was coming)
6dpo - nothing
7dpo - creamy cervical mucus, light twinges below
8 dpo - creamy cervical mucus, light boob twinges, light head ache (never really get head aches so this was odd, I also drink plenty of water)
9 + 10 dpo - creamy cervical mucus, light boob twinges, light head ache.
11 dpo - light head ache, pulling twinges - Positive BFP ❤

Just to let you know I took a LH test for all these days and it remind high ( second line was always visable but not darker but it did go darker then the control line on 11 dpo x

Fredthespider · 09/07/2020 21:10

@Boo2020 that’s wonderful news!! Congratulations 🥳 I’m so glad the pills from the doctor helped to kick start things for you. Now you can look forward to 9 months of no periods without wondering why 😊

EasterBunny7 · 09/07/2020 21:28

Sorry to jump in. I could really do with some advice. I have pcos. Ttc 20 months. On day 3 of what I thought is my period but it's completely different to anything I've experienced! Hardly any blood, dark brown in colour. I've tested negative but could that be because hcg levels aren't high enough on day 3? I'm concerned because I was supposed to take my clomid tablet yesterday but don't want to risk it if this is a pregnancy. What do you think? Am I imagining things?

Boo2020 · 10/07/2020 09:35

@Fredthespider thank you so much 😊...I'm still a bit in denial 🙈...I've ordered a clearblue to see roughly how many weeks I am, it should come today!..

@easterbunny7, isn't it usually old blood? Sorry I'm not much help...x
