Long cycle girls TTC #3

[Newbie0818]

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

@xoJellyBean that’s great! What cd are you on now? Hopefully some good results for you

@Suki2020 cd16 bizarrely 🤷🏼‍♀️ what if my results come back ok though? That's why I'm worrying, then why haven't I got pregnant lol how are you doing? What cd are you?

@xoJellyBean my came back all fine though. My thyroid changed since my first set of bloods. If you are all good they will probably send you for a scan and then put you on clomid. I’m on cd11 now so will start doing OPK’s today.

@xoJellyBean good news, get on it

I'm on CD26 and thought I'd ovulated on CD12, but got this today...! Not sure what to think, should probably DTD but DH and I are both feeling rough today after being vaccinated at the weekend. It will have to wait... got a BFN too, I'm covering all POAS bases!

Ok my peak clearly wasn't right... still haven't ovulated and I booked my bloods for next Thursday! SHIT. 🤬

Did you do a test again @katewitch??

@xoJellyBean oh no! I would just ring up and explain and then you can rebook once you ovulate. That’s what I did a couple of months ago.

@Suki2020 yes I'll do that :) still no sign here, OPKs are very faint🙄 how are you getting on?

Ok now that I look... I think I maybe just missed a peak opk

@xoJellyBean what app do you use? Femometer to record my OPK’s. By looking at your OPK’s I don’t think you have ovulated. I’ve attached my last cycles OPK’s so you can see the readings. I would keep testing. I’m still waiting for ovulation. On cd14 today last two cycles I’ve ovulated around cd26-27 so I’ve started OPK’s yesterday incase it’s earlier this cycle.

@xoJellyBean I'd assume that I'd ovulated on the 17th based on those, I guess you can always book again if another one comes later... I can't remember if you're temping to confirm?

I had another OPK about the same the next day (I test with concentrated wee after work as I rarely get to go there...!) but it definitely wasn't really high or peak, and nothing yesterday. More BFNs too. Still no period either, I have no idea what my body is doing to me. CD29 today.

If I ovulated later I likely missed it due to both DH and I being ill one after the other. Right now I feel like I haven't ovulated yet and I'm going to be waiting 2 more weeks at least for AF and I'm gutted

I think the main thing upsetting me is that I got exciting thinking that I was On It and knew what was happening, recognised my body's signs etc, and now I know that I was wrong.

@Suki2020 stressful but I had a nice excuse not to do much moving 😂 were all settled in now. Hope you're ok x

@xoJellyBean so frustrating 😖 all the tracking etc sucks doesn't it

@katewitch that's understandable, it's so annoying when your body has all the signs and then just doesn't play ball

Are you ladies having your covid vaccine?

@Suki2020 personally no... and I work for the NHS. have you had yours?

@xoJellyBean I’ve booked mine for after bank holiday. Had a chat with my fertility nurse and said have it the risks are much greater if I don’t and end up pregnant. I’ve tried doing my own research and there are pros and cons for having it and not having it. I just think I see so many different people each day for work and I’m stood so close to them that I’m much more likely to catch it. Why don’t you want it?

@Suki2020 that's fair, it's 100% a personal choice ☺️ when the initial advice came out concerning those trying to conceive, I felt in my gut that there was some reason they would've said that so I wouldn't be getting it at that point. Since then they said it was ok but I still felt like why did they rush and panic to warn those ttc not to take it? It's been pushed on me several times in my work but there's not enough research to put my mind at ease just yet ☺️

@xoJellyBean yeah absolutely personal choice. I’ve had mixed feelings about it. I did get told to not have it once I’m pregnant until after 12weeks. How you going with your OPK’s and temps now?

@Suki2020 I just hate the unknown, I can't cope with it 🙈 OPKs are still negative and my temp is still low. My thermometer died yesterday so waiting on the new one arriving tomorrow. CD23 now! How are you getting on?

@xoJellyBean oh no, keep going with OPK’s. How long are your cycles normally? I’m on cd17 now and still waiting for ovulation. Last two cycles I’ve ovulated around cd25-27.

@Suki2020 when do you start testing with OPKs? My last cycles have been around 33-35. Just got this opk, hopefully this is it now. We have been dtd every other day 🤞🏻

@xoJellyBean looks like you might get your peak in the next day or so. Keep testing for a few days

@xoJellyBean I normally start doing OPK’s cd12.

@Suki2020 I had my Pfizer vaccine last week :) they're now saying it's safe in pregnancy in the second trimester and tbh being a teacher for me the risks of covid are a lot higher then any potential side effects. I felt fine after 👍🏻
They did a study in America of over 100,000 pregnant women and no concerns raised (RCOG data), the initial panic was because they didn't have any data and it was unethical to test it on pregnant women and those ttc. That'll change now that more people are getting it. All personal choices I agree

@Justanothercyster Pfizer would be my preference when it comes to it but they don't seem to be offering it here now.. all AstraZeneca 🙈

@Suki2020 I start OPKs around cd12 too! It was even higher just before bed last night 🤞🏻 my temps are all over the place though 🤣 do you ever dream about positive pregnancy tests?
