@Emmie12345 any luck yet? I'm now 2 weeks late & no sign of AF still - getting so frustrated!
Did the reflexology help at all? Smile

I've got light pinky brown spotting so think period is finally on its way. Over a week late on cd40

Emmie12345 · 18/09/2020 09:06

Hi, I'm in the same boat, either CD37 or 44 (depending if you count spotting as the start of AF) and absolutely zero symptoms. Last month I had a 33 day cycle and before pill it was always 30 days.

I took a pregnancy test 5 days ago - BFN. I'd built my hopes up so much I was absolutely gutted when I saw the result. I'm really worried about testing again as I don't want the disappointment of another BFN Sad

Waitingforbabypage · 18/09/2020 09:22

So had a random thought.
If I didn't have an AF, it means I didn't ovulate? Right? Would make sense seeing as the implant only got removed in aug.
So I could potentially ovulate whenever?
DP has a ridiculously high sex drive so we're dtd every other night pretty much, so I could be waiting for an AF that won't show because we could catch the egg at the right time and get preggers?
The only way to be sure would be to hold off dtd until I have AF? 😱 noooooooo!!!
Also, cervical placement- it's a weird one but it has moved up as if it is ready for ovulation which would be about now if my cycles were "normal"
OR I'm completely batshit crazy and need to get more sleep and stop overthinking the whole thing.

@Hufflypuf @Waitingforbabypage you two literally could've written my comment for me, literally in the exact same position! Had my coil removed in June so no idea if/when I ovulated. But I feel pregnant. Have decided with DH to test again this weekend and then take it from there... Thinking it is all in my head now. If things were normal, I should be ovulating now but who knows! Other than spotting for 4 days on CD 28, very light and never got going, no sign of AF. Confused!

Are you temping or doing opks? That's the only surefire way to know if you are ovulating / have ovulated.
ER20 · 18/09/2020 11:14

Period is a week late today, done a CB test and completely a BFN.

Emmie12345 · 18/09/2020 11:32

Yeah you could ovulate before a period def

Hi ladies, can I join you all please?

So I had my coil removed 11th June and had a little withdrawal bleed, then af mid-July after . Used OPKs and bd at the right time, but no luck. Af again mid-August (30 day cycle) then bd lots around peak opk - which is around day 18/19.

Fast forward to Monday (11dpo) and I got faint positives on ICs and then an obvious positive on a FRER. But sadly since Tues it’s got fainter and fainter, so I’m pretty sure it’s a CP. But af was due on Tuesday so I’m now 4 days late and showing bfn now. On CD35 and waiting for af to hurry up and show to that I can move on from this sad, rubbishy week!

Only thing I did different was take pregnacare so not sure if they (coupled with the cp) have delayed my cycle?! Other threads I’ve seen with CP don’t seem to delay your cycle much, so I’m thinking it could be the vits. No idea and feeling sad, confused and frustrated!

Emmie12345 · 18/09/2020 13:38

@Amy259 hi and sorry you have this . I took multi vit and q10 and wonder did they delay cycle

I kickstarted mine with some acupressure - worked within 12 hours !

Emmie12345 · 18/09/2020 13:39

@Kirky658 my first cycle after my copper coil was removed I wanna convinced I was pg and period was late . I think it’s prob just due to hormones settling x

Amy259 · 18/09/2020 13:55

@Emmie12345 I saw your post about that, dear love your DH for helping out. I watched the 2 YouTube videos on it, did you choose any specific point last night? Hands, feet, thumbs, toes or ankles haha?

Kirky658 · 18/09/2020 14:35

@Emmie12345 yes it's really weird. I have endometriosis and had a surgery end of June and had the coil removed at the same time. I had a 'normal' period well over 6 weeks after the surgery then nothing since until this very odd tiny spotting episode beginning of September. I am starting to think I am not pregnant and It is just all in my head now, one more test at the weekend then that's it for me. I have the follow up appt with my gynaecology consultant for the surgery in October so will query it with him then.

Emmie12345 · 18/09/2020 15:00

@Amy259 I had done the wrists previously but they didn’t work so he did the ankle ones for about 20 mins, quite firm pressure - let us know how you go !

Emmie12345 · 18/09/2020 15:00

@Kirky658 copper coil or mirena?

@Waitingforbabypage Last time I had my implant out I had a some light bleeding when it was taken out then conceived DS 45 days later. So yes, you can ovulate any time. This time I had the implant taken out 1 September and nothing yet other than the hormone rollercoaster...

Kirky658 · 18/09/2020 15:33

@Emmie12345 mirena coil.... Glad its gone tbh! It was only useful to stop my heavy bleeding from my endometriosis, was still in agony every month!

Hello everyone! I completely understand the frustration... I came off the mini pill in March and have had quite long cycles but was a bit more pleased With the last two cycles being 34 and 35 days but this time Iv just come on (the 41st day!) been such a crappy week as BFN and then late period. I’m sure there’s something wrong with me 🥺... the doctor rang me and told me I can’t worry until next March and no pregnancy but it’s so difficult isn’t it... massive hugs to all struggling like we are!

Amy259 · 19/09/2020 10:40

@Emmie12345 you’re not going to believe this... I did the acupressure last night watching tv and woke up this morning bleeding. Could just be coincidence of course but I’m in shock!

claireb7rg · 19/09/2020 11:11

So cd41, 23dpo and I've got period pain after some very pale pink spotting yeaterday.

Seems like the cursed cycle 13 is over at last

claireb7rg · 19/09/2020 11:13

Although no sign of actual period yet, just the cramps 😩
