Long cycle girls TTC #3

[Newbie0818]

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

@Suki2020 hope the clomid brings it forward again 🤞🏼 have you had any side effects by any chance?
Af is due tomorrow 😬 I've been having creamy cm and my temp is still up though so I am starting to get itchy feet haha

@Justanothercyster I had hot flushes a couple of times over the 5nights I took the tablets. I take them at night in case I get any side effects. Will you test tomorrow?

Hi Ladies, TTC #1, my cycles are currently between 40 and 47 days.
I'm taking conceive plus ovulation support this month as I've heard it can help.
I'm also going to use OPKs.
What day do you typically ovulate on say a 40 day cycle?

@Suki2020 I doubt it, but will see what my temp does :)

@Sparkles512 technically your ov should be 14 days before period starts, so if it's 40 days then day 25, but realistically every cycle is different as you could have a shorter or longer luteal phase. Difficult to say really

@Justanothercyster thank you, maybe I will just do an opk everyday to be sure?

Hi @Sparkles512, my cycles were typically 40 days and I would usually ovulate on day 25 BUT my cycles could vary from 26-54 days! So I just did OPKs every day and had sex whenever I got a peak or high reading. As cyster said, your phases could be different so I’d recommend doing a couple of cycles with OPKs every day so you can learn how your body behaves.

@Sparkles512 you could do :) I found looking at my cm changes more helpful and just DTD every 2-3 days, but when I notice ewcm I up it

@Justanothercyster how’s your temp this morning?

@Justanothercyster @xoJellyBean just caught up and I really hope you get your positive soon. Jelly, I came of the pill march 2018 thinking it'll just happen and didn't go to the doctors or anything, it only happened for me when I took pills to regulate my cycle, opks, temping and using castor oil to "clear" any blockages and hormones out. It will happen for you, and you and cyster both deserve it! All you ladies on here got me through ttc and even though it must have been difficult you were all so supportive during my pregnancy too. Big hugs xxx

@Suki2020 it's pretty good actually so I decided to test just now and... I am in utter shock and so terrified.

@Justanothercyster Aww that’s amazing news congratulations hun 🎉🎉🎉🎉 so happy it’s happened for you, you’ve waited long enough xx

Thank you @Suki2020 I really hope I haven't upset anyone by posting that pic but it's just been so long! Never actually thought I would be able to. I am so scared as I'm having cramps but trying to remind myself that can be normal.
I really hope you can share your news soon x

@Justanothercyster don’t be silly you deserve to put up the photo, we are all here supporting you and I know I couldn’t be happier for you. We’ve been on a thread together for a long time now and it’s so nice to see you getting your BFP, it’s gives me hope too. My friend had quite a lot of cramping too so I wouldn’t worry too much. I know that’s easier said than done though. What did your OH say?

@Suki2020 thank you hun, I feel the same, I'm so happy whenever I see a bfp on here because I know what everyone's been through. Such a supportive group we have ❤️
well I jumped on him hysterically crying and shaking so he was initially scared, but then he was happy haha. He's the sensible one though so he's said wait till we do a few more tests over the next week, I think he's in shock too!

@Justanothercyster I bet he is in shock. So exciting though. Have you got more tests? We really do have a nice group it’s the only group I’ve really stuck too as well x

@Justanothercyster Omg!!!!! Congratulations!!! So, so, so happy for you xxx

@Suki2020 I've got a FRER which I'll do tomorrow, and have just ordered some Clearblur digitalis which I'll do later in the week. Might get some cheapies to do in between haha. I'm so paranoid I did the test wrong or something and it's a false positive!
I'm only on one other group and they're lovely too, I honestly don't know what I would have done without MN.

@Pol96 thank you! I don't really know what I'm meant to do now... do I call the doctors at a specific time or something? I'm so scared to go to the toilet haha.

@Justanothercyster I waited a week I think and did about 30 tests before calling the doctors (had to register first lol) then when I called the basically registered my pregnancy with the community midwife, you should get a booking appointment with them around 9 weeks.
The scared to go to the loo doesn't go I'm afraid x

Congratulations @Justanothercyster such amazing news!!! So happy for you!

@Justanothercyster that was a definite second line so I would worry that you done it wrong. Think I’d keep testing too x

@Pol96 thanks! I'm going to do a FRER tomorrow morning and have some clear blue digitals coming in the evening tomorrow too. I've got such a weird feeling in my belly, was like cramps this morning but now feels like pushing? Did you have anything like that? And here we go, onto the next rollercoaster 😂

@justlonelystars thank you!

@Suki2020 yeah I think it'll take me a few more to finally believe it haha

@Justanothercyster I had light/moderate period type cramps during very early pregnancy, I think it’s just the uterus stretching to get ready to grow. Also had a sort of heavy tugging downwards feeling a couple of weeks later. Don’t know what that was. I know how stressful the first trimester is with every little feeling being overanalysed (I’m still doing it now to be honest 🙈)

@justlonelystars ahhh all I want to do is take another pregnancy test but I think it's probably better to wait until the morning. Typical isn't it, over analyse when ttc and over analyse when pregnant!

Sorry girls I've just got caught up!

Holy effing shit @Justanothercyster !!!! Massive congrats🥰🥰🥰🥰

@xoJellyBean thank you! I had the same reaction this morning haha!
