Long cycle girls TTC #3

[Newbie0818]

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

@xoJellyBean how you doing today? I’ve had a temp rise today and had cramps Tuesday night wed morning so think I’ve now ovulated.

@xoJellyBean so sorry about the BFN, it's good to have ovulation confirmed though! And you're not out yet presumably...? Have they said what next steps would be for you if you're ovulating but it still hasn't happened?

Hope the pregnant ladies on the thread are managing okay in the heat, I remember being pregnant with DS over the summer and it was hellish!

@Suki2020 are you excited going into your TWW? I'm considering doing temps this month as it would be great to have confirmation of ovulation!

I am CD 43 now and getting the usual light pink spotting that I get just before AF. I had a medium-high OPK about 12 days ago on CD29 that then went light again so that was probably it after all! Does mean we DTD once in the fertile window but only once and I've been super ill these past 2 weeks so I'm very sure this is AF and not getting my hopes up about implantation bleeding even if I am 12dpo.

On to the next cycle which will hopefully be less long...!

@Pol96 @Justanothercyster thanks both... not entirely sure what that test was the other night, defo saw something 🤣🙈

@Suki2020 hey I'm ok, the spotting I had for three days has finished now so I'm assuming that was my period... weird one but whatever. I'm glad you've ovulated! Good luck for your tww🤞🏻 how you feeling?

@katewitch thanks, my doctor said she isn't going to refer me now because I have a 'regular cycle' with ovulation confirmed but yet I haven't got pregnant in 2 and a bit years lol so frustrating. How are you feeling? Will you test or assume it's af?

@xoJellyBean I’d ask to speak to another doctor as it might be your OH and not you. They say if you’ve been trying for over a year then you should be referred for checks. Yeah I’m ok thanks, I have today off work incase I reacted to the vaccine yesterday but I’ve been fine so just enjoying my day off.

@xoJellyBean that's just awful! Definitely get a second opinion if you can? Can't remember if OH has had SA or not but if not 100% worth doing and they should be helping you guys! I'm okay, I tested earlier because I have a problem and very much BFN but I'm just glad to be getting to the next cycle. I'm going to just see what my body does I guess...

Need to be less obsessive here, hoping to focus on health next month and doing my HIIT classes, also enjoying reading in the garden with a beverage which always makes me feel super zen

@Justanothercyster it goes ridiculously fast. How far along are you now? I'm hoping to see more bibbaa from this group too!
@xoJellyBean I agree with the others with getting a second opinion. They should be doing all they can to help you xx

@Suki2020 thanks. Did the vaccine go ok?☺️

@katewitch how are things going for you now?? Hope af stayed away 🤩

@Pol96 defo will have to get a second opinion and maybe ask for day 21 bloods again :) hope you're well

I've been tracking and testing for so long now so I think this month we will just dtd regularly and maybe the chilled approach will do wonders 🙈

@xoJellyBean yeah it was fine thank you. I’m now 3DPO where are you in your cycle now? Have you done anymore tests? Hopefully the chilled effect will work for you. I tried it once but it made me more uptight not knowing but we are all different. I have everything crossed for you.

@Suki2020 fingers crossed for you this month! ✨🤞🏻 I'm not entirely sure as that period/spotting was so strange, gonna guess I'm roughly cd5 now 😊 if I ovulate around cd20 ish again, dh and I are away for a few days so that might help lol

@Pol96 I'm 18+3 today :) scan on the 22nd so not long to wait now 🤞🏼

@Justanothercyster wow can’t believe you’re at 18weeks already. How you feeling now?

@xoJellyBean how are you doing?

@xoJellyBean sorry, I didn't get a notification of the tag for some reason! I had 2 days of spotting followed by 2 days of a super super light period but BFNs all round

Apparently that can mean an anovulatory cycle which fits with the 3 almost-peaks that I had across the cycle. So soy did nothing! I'm not taking it this cycle as it gave me headaches for the week I took it but may try again next cycle...

If I don't count the spotting I'm on CD6 at the moment but to be honest it never really got to a full flow so should I count it as CD8??

Don't know about the rest of you but I'm trying to think about it less this cycle, just DTD every other day from around CD12 to CD 24 if we can... I'll be doing cheapy OPKs though as I can't help myself

@katewitch omg we are so similar right now! I had the lightest period ever too and we are dtd every other day this month🤩 hopefully we get lucky!! 🤞🏻✨

@Suki2020 im ok thanks!! My bestie just told me she's pregnant yesterday, she has no idea we are trying... it's hard to process yet another pregnancy 🙈 how are you?

@xoJellyBean aww it’s tough isn’t it. Yeah I’m ok thanks. I’m 8dpo now so just waiting. Feel like I spend my life just waiting.

@Suki2020 ahh fingers crossed for you ✨🤞🏻 are you planning on testing? So far we have been dtd every other day... I actually won't know when I ovulate because I'm not using OPKs this month so we will see 🙈

@xoJellyBean no I won’t test unless I’m late, but apparently the vaccine can make your period slightly delayed. We dtd every other day until I get my peak then everyday for 3days.

@Suki2020 yes I heard that too! Hopefully not for you though 😊 it's all so tiring isn't it lol I am knackered with all of it!

@Suki2020 each week flies by! 19 tomorrow 😱 I'm feeling ok, not sickness anymore which is nice but my legs swell up and back gets really sore at work which is a pain. It's lovely having a bump too although I just feel like a whale a lot now lol.
9dpo for you today isn't it? Good luck this cycle 🤞🏼

@katewitch oh no! I had a cycle like that and it was so frustrating, gets your hopes up and then nothing. Hoping the relaxed approach helps you out x

@Justanothercyster can't believe you're 19 weeks! You're at the same stage as my SIL ☺️ she had her 20wk scan this week & she just found out what she was having!

@xoJellyBean awww boy or girl?

@Justanothercyster little boy! They did her scan two weeks early which freaked her out a little 🙈

@xoJellyBean oh wow, I bet! We're keeping our little one a surprise. I can't help feeling a bit anxious about the scan though.
Where are you with everything?

@Suki2020 how are you doing?

@Justanothercyster aww that's so lovely :) can't believe how quick it's going already. I'm on CD12 today, attempting to just dtd every other day with no testing or tracking... give my mind a rest!

Happy to announce my little boy arrived a bit ahead of schedule on Friday night! Had a bit of an ordeal getting him here so we’re still in hospital but we’re both doing okay

@justlonelystars congratulations 🎉 glad you are both doing ok
