Long cycle girls TTC #3

[Newbie0818]

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

@xoJellyBean definitely covered! 🤞🏼they range I think, everyone's different. Every other day should be fine

@Suki2020 thank you, I so hope everything is normal on the scan 😰 fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

@Justanothercyster my test was peak again this morning but changed to high this afternoon... dtd last night so hopefully I'm covered 🥲 how you feeling?

@xoJellyBean I'd say definitely covered! I'm ok thanks, I had a lot of sleep over the last few days which seems to have helped and I managed to eat something this morning which was nice.

This thread dissappeares from my list!
Hope every one is okay?
@xoJellyBean @Suki2020 got my fingers crossed for you!
@Justanothercyster aww hope the sickness isn't too bad.. The exhaustion is bad isn't it! It comes back again in the third trimester to prepare you for the lack of sleep!

Finley is 2 months old today.. (8 weeks 3 days old) and its gone so so fast I can't quite believe how big he is now. He was weighed a week ago and is 11lb 4oz and 59cm long! We had our postnatal checks Friday and Finleys first lot of immunisations.. Scary! I have to have a blood test to make sure I'm not still anemic and that the sepsis has definitely gone.. Currently laying in bed watching his perfect little face sleeping next to me 💙

@Pol96 aww so nice to hear your updates 🤍 can't believe Finley is two months!! That's crazy, time is flying by. Hope your blood tests come back ok 🥰 I'm confused about my dpo at this stage and would welcome opinions on my chart if yous are up for it 🤣

@xoJellyBean thanks.. Me too, don't need to be going back in to hospital!
I'll have a look and see! X

@Pol96 I'm sure!! Stay at home for all the baby cuddles 🥰

I got peak OPKs on 19, 20 & 21st March.. went to high then low on 21st so I took that as my ov day... but ff put me at 4 dpo today 👀 I hate ttc sometimes, so stressful! X

@xoJellyBean I'd say either 4 dpo as your temp dropped then and then rose or ovulated on 19th as that's the day before the first big rise.. Maybe 🤔 x

@xoJellyBean it looks like 4dpo but could quite easily be 2dpo from your chart. I’d say 2dpo if it were me. I moved my ovulation day on mine by 2days as I know I didn’t ovulate two days earlier as I had my scan on day25 and I hadn’t ovulated then but app said I did on day24 so I moved it to day26 as I felt ovulation in the evening of day25. Did you dtd over your days 16-20? How you feeling today?
Hey @Pol96 thank you. Glad you and Finley are both doing well. Can’t believe he’s 2months already.

@Pol96 thank you... I guess I'll see when af shows lol

@Suki2020 I've never had a rise like this before... been taking pregnacare and hoping it's because of that 🤞🏻 we dtd plenty around ov so here's hoping for both of us :) how are you feeling?

Just curious how long is everyone's cycles typically?
I have spoken to a DR regarding other bits and when I mentioned that most of my cycles are 40-50 days, he said its very unlikely that I am ovulating.
Feel deflated 😭

@xoJellyBean chart looks good. That’s good you will be covered then no matter what day you ovulated. Been really emotional today but other than that I’m good thanks.

My cycles were usually 40 days but could be up to 58 days. I fell pregnant on a 58 day cycle and had definitely ovulated on my “normal” 40 day cycles as well according to my OPK tests.
My advice to you would be to get a big box of ovulation tests strips (I used femometer ones, about £10 for 50 or so I think) and test every day of your cycle to find out when your peaks are/if you are getting peaks.
Lots of ladies here use temperature tracking as well for ovulation - didn’t get on with it personally but I know it’s useful for lots of people so maybe give that a try too!

Sorry @Sparkles512 I meant to tag you in my above post!

@Sparkles512 my cycles normally range anything from 35-60+days. I also got told that I wasn’t ovulating on a long cycle. I now take clomid and my last two cycles have been around 33-38 days

@justlonelystars thank you so much for your reply! That's so reassuring 😊
I've been using OPKs but I'm not the best at reading them and I give up hope and miss the odd day 🙈
I'm not sure I'd be very good with temping but it's definitely worth a try.
I've ordered some Conceive Plus Ovulation support supplements to try 🤞

@Suki2020 I feel ya with the emotions, we will get there! Hope you're ok x

@Sparkles512 if you download the femometer app it can read the opk for you! I was crap at reading them 🤣

@Sparkles512 I took pregnacare conceiving supplements and also used conceive plus lube when my OPKs were peak (I think someone on this thread actually advised trying the lube and it worked first month I tried it!)
As @xoJellyBean said, try the femometer app, it’s really useful!
Obviously everyone’s different, but the doctor you saw would have been wrong in my case. I seem to ovulate every cycle but my body just does it’s own weird thing with how long it decides my cycles will be 🤷🏼‍♀️

@xoJellyBean thank you I've just downloaded the app 😊

@justlonelystars we've been using the lube for a few weeks now after reading good reviews about it 🤞

@justlonelystars ahh we are taking pregnacare conception for him & her 😊🤞🏻 hope it works 🤣

Hi all, had my early scan which was all good and healthy, saw a lovely heartbeat 💕 EDD 7th Nov 🥰

@Justanothercyster awk that's so lovely! I'm sure you're so excited... must be real now! 🥰 also maybe stupid question but what way do they do early scans??

@xoJellyBean much happier now although still not out the woods yet, I think I'll only truly feel comfortable at 12 weeks 😂 well I thought it was internally but she just did it on my belly and that was fine 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Justanothercyster @xoJellyBean I had an internal scan at 6 weeks. All my other ones (8 weeks, 10 weeks, 12 weeks, 16 weeks, 20 weeks and 27 weeks - can you tell I have anxiety haha) have been normal ones on my stomach. They bloody hurt which I never expected, the internal one was actually most comfortable.

@xoJellyBean hopefully af doesn't show!

@Sparkles512 my cycles varied from 35-124 days and I now have a 2 month old after only 2 cycles of properly trying(had been of the pill for 2 years not using any contraception)!

@justlonelystars it was me! Conceive plus lube and pregnacare conception and the femometer app (bbt and opks) also my 12 week scan hurt.. But she pressed so hard in to my VERY full bladder before telling me to empty half of it! When is your due date?

@Justanothercyster aw yay! So glad it all went well!
@Suki2020 I can't believe it either.. He's so big now, my newborn is already gone 😭
