That sounds like a very good day @Chlo2701 enjoy every moment!! Haha!
Seen as spotting has appeared I'm going to have a few drinks too! Make the most of The sun too 😊😊

@Blossom428 I don't blame you hun! Would be amazing if it wasn't spotting & was implantation bleeding for you. But you know your own body. Fingers crossed for all of us for next month! Enjoy your drinks🍸 xx

AnxiousAnnie86 · 19/09/2020 18:14

@Blossom42 ahhhhh crap!!!!!!! But as you said you did think it was coming! You won't be far off my ovulation then hopefully!

@Chlo2701 I hope you are fertile after! I think I was an exception to that! As my bloody periods took three months to return after MC!!! I think that was as I got pregnant first month off the coil! Think I totally messed my cycles up!!!

My ovulation is now forecast for the one weekend in a year when I am away without husband! How typical is that!

Blossom428 · 20/09/2020 00:48

Well it's still spotting now... @Chlo2701 but it did do this on my last cycle and then showed up full force the next day.
I've had some weird stabbbing pains down below though, and sometimes when I've moved a particular way it brought one on. Anyone else that this? Like a shooting pain on one side? I know maybe not pregnancy but i hope not do to with a cyst or anything.

@AnxiousAnnie86 ohhhno!! That's typical! Can you get some in before you go and as soon as you get back?
My ov is due around 3rd October weekend

AnxiousAnnie86 · 20/09/2020 08:39

@Blossom428 that's the same weekend as me!!! I'm away Friday to Sunday and ovulation forecast Sunday, but I think it's most likely to be the sat... I will have to sneak one in before I go and when I'm home and really hope we don't miss it! My ovulation is so unpredictable anyway so it may not be then x

AnxiousAnnie86 · 20/09/2020 09:24

@Blossom428 I'm not sure on the pain! I seem to get so many pains and aches that I always convince myself this is it so I honestly don't think I could tell the diff!!!

bwfcchick88 · 20/09/2020 11:11

Still no period and I'm now 35 days late (cycle day 69)! Driving me mad! Will see what my results come back like at the doctor's - can't see it being anything other than negative! Been reading up on Dr Google and need to stop! Hope it turns up soon. Have a lovely Sunday everyone x

AnxiousAnnie86 · 20/09/2020 11:15

@bwfcchick88 how long are you cycles normally? You could of just totally skipped one! I think that's what happened to me in March as that cycle was 70 days!! My normally is 35 ish! It's so awful and I really feel your pain. It makes ttc feel futile! X

I know, that's what is worrying me! It's the first time in a long time that I've had no stress (other than this) so it's apt that they go all over the place! They're usually every 32-37 days so long, but they do show up if you know what I mean. So frustrating! I just want AF to show so we can get it out of the way and start trying again! It's tough, isn't it x

AnxiousAnnie86 · 20/09/2020 12:16

@bwfcchick88 that's how I felt when mine didn't show up! It was driving me totally and utterly mad! I was so relieved when it did! What I have found in all the time I've been ttc even in cycles 70 days long is that I always always ovulate 15 days before Af shows up, do you temp or anything like that? X

No, I actually bought ovulation sticks but then this happened so not had chance to use them! Once AF turns up, I'll start using them and then work out how to temp! Annoying!!

AnxiousAnnie86 · 20/09/2020 13:58

@bwfcchick88 temping is a bit of a buggar! I found it reallt effected my sleep as I was having to wake up to temp and the beeping was driving my husband mad!!!! I use ava now for temping x

Blossom428 · 20/09/2020 17:24

Day 2 of slight brown spotting (only when wiping) which hasn't lead to AF yet which is strange as I've not had that before, usually the following day will go straight to red blood.
I did do an IC this morning, but was completely blank.
Hopefully AF will show tomorrow and I can just begin a new cycle. I hate all this feeling in limbo

Oh gosh ladies, I look away for a day or so and there's a whole pile of stuff to read again! 😂
@AnxiousAnnie86 I'm on cd20 today, ovulation could be any time from this coming Wednesday to the Saturday 10 days later.
@Trying4one good luck! Fingers crossed you get pregnant fast!
@bwfcchick88 I agree with all the comments about skipping an ovulation - happened to me April-June this year, 67 day cycle.

Stabbing pains can be cyst related, sorry I've not tagged as I've forgotten who it was who was suffering 😖 so much to read!
I've had three ovarian cysts 10cm-ish, was hospitalised for two of them and the pain was STABBING, but it was doubled-over, floods-of-tears level. Do you feel anything when you pee? When I get them, I always feel a weird thing like something painful passing that area inside, just as I start to pee.

bwfcchick88 · 20/09/2020 17:36

Thanks, ladies! Trying not to think about it too much, it's doing my head in tbh! Will see what the doctor says. Thanks so much for the skipping a cycle tip - I didn't know that could happen!!

Blossom428 · 20/09/2020 18:05

Ahhh it was me @TheOrangeMonster ... thanks for this info. I haven't had it before just the last couple days, but only for like a second and random times. Nothing when I pee. Maybe just another random thing my body is playing with my mind!!

OP posts:
TheOrangeMonster · 20/09/2020 18:13

@Blossom428 that's probably true - maybe you're just hyper aware of stuff. I always get hyper aware of stuff after ovulation but I swear it must happen all the time beforehand and I just don't notice.

Blossom428 · 20/09/2020 22:02

Yes very true!! @TheOrangeMonster

It's strange that I've had 2 days spotting, and i feel it's even less now.
Pretty sure I did ovulate as I had smiley face and temp rise. Wait to see what happens tomorrow now I guess...

Yeah you never know @AnxiousAnnie86 your ov May come either side of that weekend fingers crossed!
We've got a house booked with some friends that weekend too, but not looking like we are going to be able to do it now 😤 Covid messing up so many plans... 2020 just needs to be over already

Chlo2701 · 21/09/2020 08:18

@Blossom428 I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you my love, update us this morning xx

Blossom428 · 21/09/2020 08:38

Andddd AF turned up this morning. Least I know what's going on haha.
Back to cycle day 1 😊

Thanks @Chlo2701 how are you doing? x

OP posts:
Chlo2701 · 21/09/2020 09:48

@Blossom428 oh bloodyhell!! I always find the first day of AF the worst, like a punch in the stomach. Sending you a big hug. We all got to try & stay positive but that's easier said than done sometimes.
I'm ok thanks love CD11 & just waiting to see if I get any signs of ovulation later on in the week. If my body goes back to normal this month & plays ball then I would ovulate sun or Monday x

AnxiousAnnie86 · 21/09/2020 11:06

@Blossom428 I'm sorry :( it totally sucks!!!! Glad you got an extra LP day though!!! X

Blossom428 · 21/09/2020 11:26

Indeed @AnxiousAnnie86 @Chlo2701 yeah I'm not too disheartened this time round, but I had a little bit of hope/ want still.
12 day LP (included spotting in that) although I know it's kinda out when spotting starts, but they say to count spotting within that- so I've very happy considering it was 8days!!

Hopefully your ovulation will be normal this time @Chlo2701 ! Not too long to wait.

OP posts:
TheOrangeMonster · 21/09/2020 14:39

@Chlo2701 fingers crossed for a swift return to normal for you - BUT if it doesn't go back immediately, try not to be too worried, they do say that it can take a little longer than usual for hormone levels to do their thing after a loss.
@Blossom428 on the positive side, it's the start of a new opportunity!

Cd21 now, temp still holding stable. Stress levels bubbling away at "just about manageable".....

Blossom428 · 21/09/2020 15:10

I may try pressed this cycle... has anyone else tried this?
