Long cycle girls TTC #3

[Newbie0818]

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

@Vienna123 that must have been awful for you! I would have broken down :( just keep DTD whenever you get a surge. Do you know why you are irregular by any chance? I know people with pcos can't go by lh as we get so many random surges a month because of the fluctuating hormones.

@justlonelystars thank you! That’s really helpful, I’ve also tried with BBT but didn’t find it very useful either, think I’ll give the LH testing throughout my next cycle and see what happens 🤞🏼

@Justanothercyster it was really tough, I did end up quite tipsy I’m ashamed to say! My GP mentioned PCOS over a year ago and tested my hormones but said ‘I didn’t have the hormone level for it’ and couldn’t help further! I’m going to see a naturopath on Tuesday as I read it could be due to hormone imbalance, etc so I’m hoping he can be of more help than my GP!

@Vienna123 so annoying isn't it, one blood test isn't enough because hormones naturally fluctuate! I was very lucky they caught mine. Fingers crossed the natural remedies help x

Still haven't tested yet, period is now 6 days late. I have tests in a box somewhere and will hopefully find them to test in the morning ☺️ CD37 now!

@xoJellyBean keeping everything crossed! How exciting!

@xoJellyBean everything crossed for you!

Hi girls, just thought I'd give you an update..
Baby Finley was born 21.1.21 weighing 7lb 13oz
Were both still in hospital as the birth was difficult (forceps and episiotomy) and we got infections. Think we're both on the mend now 🤞 x

@Pol96 congratulations on the birth of your little boy! Sorry to hear you’ve both been poorly and the birth was difficult but fingers crossed you’re on the mend, hope you can go home soon x

@Pol96 awww congratulations to you both! And welcome to the world baby Finely 💙 hope you're ok after a not so perfect birth, please send a pic of you're happy too!

Oh my goodness @Pol96 congratulations! Sorry to hear you’ve both had a tough time, so glad you’re on the mend!x

Huge congratulations @Pol96 soooo happy for you.
How are you @xoJellyBean i’ve been checking this thread to see if you’ve posted xx

@Pol96 huge congratulations on the birth of your little boy. 🎉

Hi everyone! A little late to the party but hope I can join in. I've always had irregular cycles, when I was a teenager I put it down to stress and didn't give it much thought. Was on birth control for 5 years (late teens, early 20s) and had 0 periods, came off in July 2020 and cycles have been between 34-60 days. I tried a small dose of soy iso this cycle but currently on CD42. Next cycle I'm going to up my dose and start temping to try and catch my surge as I've not had much luck with opks!

Hi @Riverskye do you do OPK’s twice a day? I would sometimes miss my surge if I didn’t. I found temping helps me know I’ve ovulated but not until a few days after ovulation

Congratulations @Pol96 🥰🥰! Hope you're both on the mend and get home soon❤️

I haven't found my tests yet but I think I'm just having a bad month due to stress of moving etc... don't feel pregnant and zero symptoms😢

@xoJellyBean you never know! I had zero symptoms what so ever when i tested positive. Fingers & toes crossed for you ❤️

@hollywhooo it's so odd cause I don't feel stressed but I've been so tired with all the planning/moving and then our puppy 🤣 I'm on cd38 and haven't had a cycle this long since 2019! Thank goodness for tracking history 😅 of course I didn't temp this month or I'd be able to at least go from that... how are you getting on??🥰

@Suki2020 I test once in the morning and again in the evening, hoping that when I start temping next cycle I'll be able to get a better picture of if/when I ovulate!

Congratulations @Pol96, sorry to hear you had a difficult time. Hope you're on the mend and home soon.

Keeping everything crossed for you @xoJellyBean!

How are things going for you @Neurotic90? Hope it’s all going well x

@xoJellyBean I am so excited for you!!! I really hope my af doesn't come on weds and we can be pg buddies 🤞🏼

@Justanothercyster how amazing would that be!!! Still nothing here, found an ic this morning so will maybe test with it tomorrow, I'm just so scared 🤣 I took my temp and it was 36.7, I'm usually around 36.4 after ov 😱 trying not to get my hopes up though🤣 have you any symptoms?

Thank you @Neurotic90 ! Still thinking it's just stress 🤣

Also forgot to say welcome to @Vienna123 & @Riverskye 🤗

All going well so far @justlonelystars thanks, the HG has been a struggle at times but 15 weeks now and hoping it will start to shift soon. How are you getting on?

@Neurotic90 15 weeks, wow that’s flown by! My sickness fully subsided by 16 weeks (although I didn’t have HG) so hopefully you’ll be through the woods soon.
I’m doing okay, 19 weeks today and have my 20 week scan next Tuesday! It’ll be good to be half way through but it’s going scarily quick. I’m scared about it but impatient to meet him at the same time!

@xoJellyBean i really really hope this is it for you! I’m okay thanks, 25 weeks now! Had a bit of a panic on the weekend, she stopped moving all day so had to be checked, naughty baby!!!
