Long cycle girls TTC #3

[Newbie0818]

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

@Suki2020 normal period, cramps as well 😖 now I'm freaking out

@xoJellyBean are you sure you last period was actually a period because didn’t you say you were only spotting? So maybe this is the start of your cycle now? 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Suki2020 yeah 20 days ago I had spotting and then a light 'period' for 4 days, what would that have been then 😖 Last week my dh was badly injured in an accident and suffered a head injury, I've had a bad week at work as well as awful sleeping patterns so maybe it's all the stress

@xoJellyBean oh wow, hope your dh is ok? Yeah maybe it is just due to the stress.

Oh @xoJellyBean I'm sorry to hear that, both about your DH and the weird cycle you're right that it's probably stress, sending you huge hugs!

I've had my first ever fully positive OPK today...! Never had one darker than the control line so far. We DTD yesterday after fertile symptoms over the weekend (can't ever test at weekends as my pee is always too diluted!) and will again tonight come he'll or highwater

On track for predicted ovulation date of CD21/22 which is my average. Fingers crossed!

@xoJellyBean just re read your posts and I really hope you're looking after yourself and that your DH is doing okay

@xoJellybean so sorry to hear about dh, hope you're both doing as well as can be! Not what you need with everything going on. Hugs x

@katewitch exciting! Fingers crossed 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@xoJellyBean how are you doing?

@katewitch how is the tww going for you? Any symptoms?

@Suki2020 6dpo and maybe some cramping today but I'm probably imagining it! I also have thrush so that's probably it... I'll probably test early at the weekend as I struggle to Not. How are things with you, any news?

7dpo and the symptom spotting has begun even though I've been quite chill this cycle so far! Boobs are starting to get sore, wondering if what I'm feeling is actually cramps, I'm sure there'll be more tomorrow

@Suki2020 fine thanks. Had a hectic couple of weeks so having some downtime. How are you? I've been feeling tired and grumpy and my skin is AWFUL. took a test and what the fuck, obv invalid but I had a small heart attack lol

@katewitch fingers crossed for you!! ✨

@xoJellybean omg, have you taken any others? Do a FRER!

@Justanothercyster yeah they're all negative, just these bloody tests being cruel again 😖

@xoJellybean that is so horrible :( cheapies are usually less sensitive and that was such a strong line!

@Justanothercyster I'm a bit baffled tbh!! Unsure how it came up so strong 🥺 evaps don't have colour surely... I've kept it and even now that it's dried out it's defo 'positive' looking. Hard to know lol How are you getting on?

@xoJellybean yeah I'd be baffled to! Has af started? Im so confused!
Im ok thanks, annoyed my brain hasn't let me lay in this morning 😤

@Justanothercyster I'm actually cd14 but I've had a couple of weird months... very light spotting a week before my af was actually due, counted it as cd1 and then on cd20 more bleeding, slightly heavier that time with cramps so I counted it as cd1 too🙄 going to use some OPKs soon to try and figure out what the hell is going on! GP is repeating my bloods so maybe that'll show something.

Aw nooo lol that's early! Are you finding yourself being more tired during the day? I'm sure your little bump is showing now!

@xoJellybean hmmm, very bizarre. Hopefully like you said the bloods will show something up. Hopefully a lovely surprise! 🤞🏼
Yes bump is growing! Have attached a pic of progression (8,12,16,20 weeks). It's weird as you don't realise it until you see the difference! 22 weeks today so eve bigger 😂 Not as tired as I was first trimester but struggling with swollen feet etc. Generally ok though :) hungry ALWAYS!

Aww @Justanothercyster what a lovely bump! 💕

For some reason I haven't been getting notifications from this thread, no idea why...

Feeling grumpy this morning, I am extremely moody and PMS-y and had a very very BFN on 12dpo so now I'll just wait miserably until AF shows

Okay so I went to throw this away but the light was better in the kitchen, it's out of the time window but I think I gave a squinter??? Tell me if I'm seeing things please as DH says he can't see a thing!

How invalid does the time window make them? It looks pink to me and I've not has this on a fully negative FRER before... but I daren't get my hopes up!

@katewitch oh I defo see it!!!!! 🤩🤩 it's got colour! Have you any more tests?

@Justanothercyster looking lovely 🥰🥰

@katewitch I can see it! Take another one tomorrow or the day after to be sure 🤞🏼

@xoJellyBean @Justanothercyster eek, thank you! Glad I'm not being crazy

It was my last test, I've got a 2 pack of FRER coming tomorrow so will try my best to leave it tomorrow and do FMU on Tuesday. I'm so nervous and trying not to get too excited!

@katewitch very exciting! Hope you get a good strong line on Tuesday 🥰

I couldn't wait after work today! Darker and pinker, I think I can dare to believe this
