@lucyrp I know what you mean and it must feel like sooo long timewise but then is still only 3 cycles. Must feel like so much wasted time. I'm the opposite, aside from one long cycle tgey are so fucking short. Was delighted to make it to cd25 ladt month as the previous 3cycles wrte more like 20 days. Never off my period!

@Katao yeah I know it's ridiculous in 15 months il only have had 7/8 periods 🙄 Everutning just seems pointless right now. That's why I say I'm not really trying. I'm trying to sort my cycles out and that's about it. I can't try to do anything else until I know what's going on. Oh I thought you had long cycles too. Didn't realise it was the opposite that sounds terrible !

Morning all ✨

11DPO and bfn on frer so I'm going to assume I'm 99% out. Feeling pretty darn sad tbh, as now I don't know when we will try again. The really shitty thing is that OH says he wants us to both be happy and only ttc when it's all love and sunshine, but how do I do that when I feel so upset that we're not ttc?! Like do I fake being happy so OH will have sex with me?? Aaah I don't even know.

Anyways, hope everyone has a good Saturday, and sorry to those who are locking down, really sucks 😢
Xx

@lucyrp the first weird one was 6 weeks long and then they jumped to being really short with really light periods and gp doesn't think the short ones were ovulatory then last one was 25 days and had bloods done and did ovulate so hoping that's a good sign. But ya the period before that was only spotting so I was still counting cds thinking I was up in the 40s but gp then counted the spotting as cd1 so ya.... 😬 all a bit all over the place either way 😂
@Skip86 aw sorry about the bfn, must be extra hard when you feel you are the inly one disappointed. Maybe just take it a month at a time. Take the ttc pressure off for this next cycle and work on getting on the same page?

@Juno231 just letting you know next period due date is 31st October. Noticed we were nearly full already so thought I'd get that in for next bus!
Been out tonight so need to read through msgs in the morning. Happy Friday everyone!! 😃

@notyetamumbuttrying good thinking! I'll post the updated list tomorrow morning to double check if anyone else wants a testing spot on the bus :)

Oh no @Skip86, I'm sorry about the BFN darling, and you can't fake happy no. And yeah it will be a bit overwhelming sadness atm. It's a really tough one hun, if you aren't fighting that's a good thing though so hopefully it will go to turn being intimate 🤞🏻❤️

CD1can suck hairy balls here we come! No testing date for me I'm just watching & bonking @Juno231

@Skip86 oh no sorry to hear about your bfn😔💓 sendings hugs your way

@Katao our bodies are so bloody confusing aren't they! Wtf 😩

@Skip86 sorry about the bfn, and you can't fake happy, he'll have to get his arse into gear

@Katao I was also having 22-23 days cycles, now they are more 26-28, no idea why though

@lucyrp I only went on it for three months.

@Minster2012 oh gosh even longer than me then. Yes I mean the depo worked for me for 10 years but have to admit now I’m TTC makes me question my choice.

@Skip86 sorry to hear about your BFN

@lucyrp hmm if this temp rise stays high for 10/ 12 days then I do think you have ovulated when FF says. Did you say you were a bit ill when you had that first big temp rise? If this is the case, yes it looks like a long cycle overall, but also good that you have ovulated 🤞🤞

@blodyn91 I've just marked the highest temperature I've had on fermometer as abnormal because I did have a cold then and it's now changed my ovulation date to the same date as ff so 🤷🏼‍♀️🙈

@lucyrp what are seven seas? And do you know if they're ok for pcos? Willing to try anything now 🤯

@Skip86 sorry about bfn :(

@lucyrp had a bit of wine last night so I'm not sure if I responded - but have you considered agnus castus yet? I think of seven seas as just another multi vit thing and not particularly potent.

So I'm a bit pissed off with OH atm. His SA is on Tues and he's taken no interest in it at all. I had to tell him at the start of the week that it's recommended to have ejaculated 3-5 day before the test as otherwise the swimmers are too old or too few if done too near the test date. So firstly he couldn't even look stuff like this up - and secondly even with the info he's not done anything about it 😭. So he'll go in with like 2 weeks since the last time he DTD!

I guess I'm just sick of it just being me doing all the tests, blood samples and trying so hard to get pregnant and he can't even make sure he bashes one out within 5 days of the test 🤣

@Newbie0818 look them up! Il show you what they look like now il attach a pic. Loads of good reviews for ladies with PCOS ! They're only £3.72 for 28 days on Amazon or £5.50 from boots! Here's a review also about PCOS and the seven seas tablets

@Newbie0818 obviously I always take reviews with a pinch of salt but most of the reviews are really good with only a few people complaining but they're people who had regular cycles anyway. All the good reviews are mostly people who have long irregular cycles

@Juno231 what is that supposed to do ? I may also take evening primrose oil soon but I'm not really able to do that until I know when ovulation is as you're only supposed to take it up until the day of ov aren't you ?

@lucyrp ladies with irregular periods take it cause it's meant to be good at regulating cycles. EPO is mainly for EWCM, I'm not sure if it would help much with the other stuff 🤔

@Juno231 when I look online there's not much regarding it being good for fertility though, I found a thread on here and the ladies said they bought some and it says not to take if ttc ?? Yeah I know about the EPO but wanted to take it as I never notice any difference in my CM like ag all 😂

@Skip86 so sorry for bfn😔 sending you hugs x

@lucyrp I'm considering the seven seas one but scared it'll make my cycles irregular!!

@Vil10 looking at the reviews it seems to help people with irregular long cycles regulate and shorten theirs but ladies with normal cycles it lengthens them or makes their periods longer etc so I don't know. Go on Google and read all
Of the reviews

@lucyrp really? There's loads about it with regards to TTC and so many women on MN take it. On a post pill thread I'm on there's several taking it and it really seems to be helping their cycles.

@lucyrp if you are waiting on fertility clinic and testing etc I wouldn't be inclined to go experimenting to much to be honest. Well that's just my thoughts anyway. I was thinking of trying soy isoflavones but decided not too as I've been referred to fertility clinic and don't want to go complicating things. The seven seas is just a prenatal multivitamin so I'm sure that would be fine but I'd be wary of going down the herbal remedy route just now.
