I am @Emmie12345 just to be sure I'm going to do it for my whole cycle xx

Shouldbedancingyeah · 10/08/2020 18:01

@ LT103 the average is about 37 days but it can be anywhere from 32 to 51! It’s really irregular and unpredictable!

LT103 · 10/08/2020 18:23

@Shouldbedancingyeah ah so still plenty of time for your bfp 😉

Mrschips07 · 10/08/2020 20:35

@Shouldbedancingyeah Fingers crossed for you! I dtd with DH today thinking that if AF was truly on her way that would would open the door for her (Blush) but nothing still.

14dpo today, which is when I got my BFP with my son, testing tomorrow!

@beckyBP )))

I have been doing the smeg regime - day off yesterday thank God haha! Xx

beckyBP · 11/08/2020 08:54

@Emmie12345 well done! I planned on but I fell asleep last night before he came to bed 🙈 should have been the middle day of the 3 in a row so that's that out the window! X

Emmie12345 · 11/08/2020 09:30

Hahah three in a row is hard ! Maybe not at start of relationship but these days (and age!) we def need a day off inbetween hah
Also have to not be too obvious as I want a happy accident , as dp isn’t as into the idea of a late bub as me ! Though would be v pleased def )

Shouldbedancingyeah · 11/08/2020 09:52

Good luck for testing today @Mrschips07! Fingers crossed for you

Mrschips07 · 11/08/2020 10:45

So 3 BFN for me, so I don't think I'm pregnant. 15dpo today so it would have shown by now. Cd32 and still no sign of AF tho. Weirdness.

Oh sorry to hear this @Mrschips07

FWIW I have had a couple of cycles where this happened - god knows why xxx

LT103 · 11/08/2020 12:24

Sorry about the bfn @Mrschips07. Hope you get an answer either way soon

Mrschips07 · 11/08/2020 12:29

Thanks girls, just so gutted. Thought I'd be seeing some kind of line today, honestly! Now to just wait!

OP posts:
LT103 · 11/08/2020 13:06

Waiting is the hardest part!!! Cd9 here so just at start of fw. Oh is so exhausted with work I’m not holding out much hope of getting him to dtd before the weekend 🤦🏻‍♀️ Will see how it goes.
Trying grapefruit juice this cycle to see if it helps with ewcm as I don’t usually get that much. Then trying pineapple core for the 5 days after ovulation. Worth a shot I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

Mrschips07 · 11/08/2020 13:34

Definitely worth a shot @LT103 ! You're just coming up to the fun part at least 😉

I'm so impatient, I just want to know what's going on right now. I'm desperately looking for "bfp after 15dpo" threads but I know in reality there's very little chance I've got a sticky bean this month. Poo!

OP posts:
LT103 · 11/08/2020 13:43

@Mrschips07 are you sure you definitely ovulated? Is there a chance you got high opk and tried To ovulate but then ovulated later? Would maybe be why your luteal phase is so long

LT103 · 11/08/2020 13:43

Actually I can’t remember if you do opk or temp or anything?

Mrschips07 · 11/08/2020 14:07

@LT103 no I don't opk or temp yet (only our 2nd cycle trying) my app was telling me I'd ovulate on cd17 which was 27th July, but I was convinced I ovulated the week before on cd11 because I had ovulation pain and ewcm. I had the ewcm again on cd17 but no ovulation pain, so I really don't know if I was right or the app, but if I was correct I'd be 6ish weeks by now so I'm sure I would have got a positive test by now. If the app is correct I'd be 15dpo, so I'm going by that right now because it has more chance of ending in bfp?! 😂 Last month my cycle was just 27 days, with AF arriving a whole 5 days early randomly so it does feel like everything is a bit messed up.

Sorry - lots of words!

OP posts:
Emmie12345 · 11/08/2020 14:42

@Mrschips07 I opk for first time this cycle . My last cycle was 30 days and I remember being mega horny on day 16/17

So this time I was expecting to ov around same time but got a smiley on cd10!

So, I guess it can vary even consecutive months ?

But maybe you are pg - when was the last day you had sex this cycle ?

Mrschips07 · 11/08/2020 15:22

@Emmie12345 Thats such a big difference isn't it!?

Yeah tbh I think my cycles are vastly different from eachother. Before we were ttc I didn't really track and sometimes I found it hard to remember when my last period even was, so I'm sure I had some long cycles then too, I'm just super aware of it now because I'm being crazy.

We DTD on 22nd, 26th of July and 1st August.

OP posts:
LT103 · 11/08/2020 17:38

I think I like to control things too much so I like knowing exactly when ovulation is using the opk and temp confirms that the positive opk def led to ovulation. I guess if I know we def dtd at the right times I’m giving it every shot. After that I’m sure it’s just gonna take time! My last 2 cycles I tracked both lasted 27 days with ovulation day 14 so I guess if it continues that way I’ll prob stop tracking and just go with it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Mrschips07 · 12/08/2020 20:54

I think AF is here guys. Rly weird pink/orange cm all day and just now a streak of blood. I was fully convinced I was gonna get my BFP :(

OP posts:
LT103 · 12/08/2020 20:59

Oh no @Mrschips07 so sorry to hear that 😢

Emmie12345 · 13/08/2020 09:16

Oh really sorry @Mrschips07 big hug xxx

beckyBP · 13/08/2020 10:14

@Mrschips07 sorry doll! Our bodies play such nasty tricks on us don't they! X

Emmie12345 · 13/08/2020 10:49

Was lol that managed the SMEP at dp’s (52) - I think it’s worn him out a lot tho haha
