Long Cycle girls TTC #2

Thread number 2 as we are close to our 1k limit❤️

@Elakiya yes I'm giving it a go!! My periods have just regulated so I'm hoping I don't go back to square 1.

@duckii what dose are you taking?? I've taken 3 times now, 80mg. Might not be enough 🧐

@SarahTTC2020 you might as well try it! So many positive stories around it so worth a try at least :)

@restingbface what dose did you take throughout?? My last dose is maybe tonight

Hi ladies how are you all? Do any of you take vitamin b6 if so what dose do you take?

Thanks @Tink2019

@restingbface I did have some headaches and felt very tired, had a really bad sleep. But I don't know if it was related to the soy.

@xoJellyBean I did cd 3-7 but I'm thinking it was more 4-8 now. 80, 80, 120, 160, 160. No idea if that was enough or even the right way of doing it!

@Suki2020

Hi ladies how are you all? Do any of you take vitamin b6 if so what dose do you take?

I took it the cycle I took Soy @Suki2020 - I took 50mg. Read it can push back ovulation for some people, so I only took it once I was sure I'd ovulated. No idea if it helped with the BFP but one of the bloods the hospital did the other day was progesterone and mine is apparently very good (I'm still taking it but reducing to every other day) so it may have done something x

@xoJellyBean I did 120, 120, 160, 200 & then I’ll do a final 200 tonight 🤞🏼
@Tink2019 that’s interesting! I might have to get some B6 now as well x

Thanks @Tink2019. How are you feeling now?

I'm on CD43 now so looks like I'm back to long ones. Doesn't seem like I ovulated this cycle. Does anyone else not ovulate every cycle?

Hi girls.. Just wanted to update you all. We've just left our gender scan and we're having a little boy 💙💙💙 heard his little heartbeat and I just cried! Xxx

@Pol96 congratulations 🎉 so happy for you.

@Pol96 aaah congratulations, bet that was magical! X

@SarahTTC2020 I haven't been checking temps or OPKs over the last while, always just assume I ovulate 😳 what's your temp saying?

@Pol96 awww that's so sweet 🥰 glad all is well!

Are you following any dtd plan like smep? I might give testing a miss this month as it always adds so much pressure on!

@Pol96

I have long cycles and have just started ready this thread. Congratulations on your pregnancy, so happy for you!

Do you mind telling me how long your cycles were and how long you were TTC to give me hope?! Thank you xx

Hey guys! This is my first time joining in here. I’ve been ttc for 5 months now and have a regular cycle between 31-33 days, slightly longer than average. I’ve been tracking my ovulation with tests and it’s pretty consistent on the 17th cd.
No luck getting pregnant yet but I’m in the 2 week wait currently for this month so we will see..! I’m starting to feel down especially as in the past month 3 of my friends have gotten pregnant, anyone else find that hard to see? I feel bad about that!
But anyway, any tips would be amazing and wishing you all luck and love xx

@Elsie2021 thank you 😊

My cycles varied quite a bit.. Shortest 30 longest 124! I came of the pill towards the start of 2018, used other contraception until we decided to see "if it happens it happens" summer last year, not trying as such but definitely not preventing! Started properly ttc in Feb this year after we had moved in to our new home but didn't start tracking until March and got my bfp in May (in terms of cycles it took one of not tracking and got my bfp on the next cycle I tracked using opks and temping, so 2 cycles properly trying but I guess about 8 if you include not preventing) I used pregnacare conception (from end of feb/half way through my non tracking cycle) which I think helped shorten/regulate my cycle (especially as my dates for this pregnancy were spot on!) I also used castor oil packs a couple of times before ovulation the month I conceived.

@Candypj welcome and good luck with your first TWW!

Baby dust to you all! X

And thank you @Suki2020, @Tink2019 @xoJellyBean 💙

@Pol96 congratulations 💙 sounds absolutely amazing 👶 🍼 @duckii I’m doing SMEP this month & still testing but hopefully back to work from furlough in a week or 2 & that will keep my mind distracted rather than over analysing everything! X

@Pol96 Congratulations so happy for you.
I am intrigued, what are castor oil packs and how do you use them?

@Elakiya thank you 😊

Castor oil packs are basically a flannel soaked in castor oil placed over your belly wrapped in cling film with a hot water bottle on top.. Its supposed to clear any blocked tubes etc and if used over your liver (I think it was liver) it gets rid of excess hormones which could be disrupting your cycle.. I did a lot of research on it before trying it.. I believe I did 3 or 4 after my period but before ovulation.. Definitely have a Google and see but there were quite a few sites suggesting it as a more natural approach to fertility

I haven't posted here for a while and I'd worked myself into a total frenzy absolutely convinced there was something wrong and I wasn't ovulating. AF was due tomorrow so on a whim I picked up a Clearblue digital test on the way home and took it, fully expecting it to be negative but... it wasn't! My first BFP. I can't believe it. I just had to tell someone! (Haven't even told DP yet because he's at work and I've just been sitting here in shock for the past hour!)

Yay! Congratulations @JanQi!!

@Pol96 Thank you!! It hasn't quite sunk in yet.

@JanQi congratulations 🎉

Congratulations 🎉

@Tink2019 How are you? Any updates?
