Long cycle girls TTC #3

[Newbie0818]

New thread just in case the old one gets full and we lose each other!

Aww I'm sorry to hear about af @Suki2020 :(( I feel like she will arrive for me any time too... that's fab you're starting clomid though! My mum conceived straight away on it ☺️ & that was 5 years ttc & PCOS. I don't think I'm going to test, can't cope with it tbh! Unless I'm super late and no sign of af

@xoJellyBean I know what you mean, I don’t even keep pregnancy tests in the house anymore, it’s too disappointing when you see that bfn. I was hoping it was our cycle as it was our 7yr anniversary being together yesterday but it wasn’t meant to be. Really hope this is your cycle 🤞

@xoJellyBean well one of my apps think I've ovulated, and tbh with my temps I think I have, had all symptoms etc but didn't catch it in time because I had an infection :( nevermind.

@Suki2020 sorry about af :( it can be so tough, and I'm with you in the tests, I don't bother anymore. Hope the clomid helps! At least you know you're doing something and things are happening hopefully 🤞🏼
If dh's sperm has improved on his supplements in March then they'll put me on clomid too. (Secretly hoping not though so they put us through for ivf 🤞🏼)

Hey girls how we doing?

Also meant to ask, did anyone get the vaccine?

@xoJellyBean my ov date has been moved to the day we DTD which is nice, apart from that just waiting to see what happens. How are you?
I haven't had the vaccine, but as I teacher j sure hope I can get it soon 😖

Hi ladies, so I’m on day two of taking clomid, hopefully it will work first time for us 🤞
@Justanothercyster that’s good news that your ovulation date moved 🤞 fingers crossed for you.
@xoJellyBean no not had the vaccine, will do once I get offered it though. How are you, has AF stayed away?

@Suki2020 any side effects yet? I'm right in thinking it regulates your cycle right? Ensures you ovulate?

@Justanothercyster no side effects yet, taking them at night so if I do get any hopefully I may just sleep through them. Yeah they are meant to make your cycle regular and ovulate. I will be scanned on the next cycle to see if I’ve defiantly ovulated.

No af for me yet 👀 2 days late apparently! I work for the NHS but refused the vaccine 🙈 pls no hate... purely on the basis that I am TTC

@xoJellyBean aww how long will you leave it until you test? I think it has to be up to the individual who has it and who doesn’t. I will have the vaccine as I’m work so close to others I don’t feel like I can chance not having it.

@xoJellyBean each to their own, don't worry! No judgement here! Test test test!

@Suki2020 that's good, fingers crossed for you!

Well I was a bit tentative that I'd ovulate so early considering my weird cycles, but with my temp climbing it seems I have? Thoughts?

Had some random cramps in the night, not overly painful just achey, so not sure if af is on the way 😖 gone now.

@Justanothercyster @Suki2020 all the pregnancy tests I have are at the new house 🤣🤣 I'm so scared to test 🥲 your chart looks good!! Can you implant at 5dpo??

@xoJellyBean Oh no! Don't be scared we got you :)
I wouldn't even consider the unlikelihood of me implanting this early 🤣

@Justanothercyster I'm so used to being disappointed and I don't want to see that bfn again 😶 although I have ZERO pms symptoms! I'm just really fatigued 😬 I'll maybe test this weekend!
How are you feeling about this month?

@xoJellyBean I feel you on that, I'm terrified of testing. Good luck!
I mean I'm resigned to the fact that with both our fertility issues it's very very unlikely we'll conceive naturally, but I always have that little slither of hope, so we'll see 🤞🏼

Hi all, sorry I’ve been quiet, another long cycle and it’s getting me down a bit. Good CM symptoms today so fingers crossed I’m in my fertile window as my temp is just bobbing around in the ‘low’ figures! Keeping everthing crossed for you @xoJellyBean x

@PosiPantsOn did you get a spike yet??

@Justanothercyster how are you?

Still no af for me!

@PosiPantsOn sorry you're feeling down lovely, hugs and fingers crossed x

@xoJellyBean I'm getting excited about you now!
I'm ok thanks, my temps seem to be climbing which is good, and I had a cheeky feel of the cervix earlier and it's suuuuuuper squishy, never felt it that soft haha.
Aside from that I've had a crazy day! Dept meeting, tutor time live session, Year 7 live lesson, 5 Year 11 mock feedback sessions, a Year 9 lesson, 2 Year 13 mentoring sessions and a 3 hour parents evening for Year 8. Teaching has officially killed me 🙃

@Justanothercyster thanks but I have no idea how I feel about this lol I defo expect a bfn... but I've been eating like a horse this past week and no af symptoms... 🙄 I'm really tired all the time though

Oh my word what a day!!! I'm sure you're knackered 😱

Thanks @Justanothercyster, I’m ok! It’s just the unknown isn’t it, I feel like I’m in limbo most of the time just waiting for a spike. Nothing yet @xoJellyBean, here’s my current cycle, soooo long!

@xoJellyBean I’ve been checking back every day to see if you’ve tested yet! Exhaustion and eating non stop were my first symptoms before i tested positive. Sore boobs too. Keeping everything crossed for you!!

@xoJellyBean it's very hard isn't it, but if you're late and you're sure you ovulated, it's worth testing x

@PosiPantsOn the worst feeling 😖 waiting for something to happen! That's what I had last cycle. It's awful.

My temp is still climbing- 37.08 today and apps think I'm 9dpo 🤞🏼

@Justanothercyster defiantly seem like you’ve ovulated, fingers crossed this is your cycle.
@xoJellyBean I don’t know how you have so much strength not to test, I think I would have given in by now and tested. How late is AF now? We are all here supporting you.

Hi girls, can I join this thread? Ive had irregular cycles for as long as I can remember (30-47 days) I’ve been ttc for around 6 months and finally thought it had happened just before Christmas but unfortunately tested and got a BFN and came on a few days later. I was gutted as I kind of got my hopes up to tell the family on Xmas day (silly I know)! On Christmas Day, my partners brother and girlfriend announced they were expecting, they went on about how it happened within 2 weeks of trying and how happy they were - honestly I felt broken!!
Ever since it’s made it hard to stop stressing as it’s all I hear daily, my bestfriend also text me this morning announcing she’s expecting.
It’s left me feeling very low and not sure where to go from here, I’m currently on CD35 and around CD18-22 I had an LH serge, however for the first time I tested my LH today and it’s showing another serge - I have no idea where to go from here!!

Hi @Vienna123! Your cycles sound similar to mine. Mine were usually 40 days but could be as short as 20 days or as long as 55 days! I actually conceived on one of my “weird” super long cycles. I decided to take the path of testing LH every day and had sex literally whenever I got a high result (my husband was loving it haha) and I conceived that very month! Obviously I know this won’t work for everyone - for example I personally found BBT a waste of time but know it’s useful for lots of people - but thought I’d share my experience :)
