Long cycle girls TTC #3

[Newbie0818]

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

@Neurotic90 oh that's good :) glad you're feeling more settled about it x

Hi ladies, how are you all?

@Suki2020 af for me over here today 😒
How are you?

Hey @Suki2020 not great here, CD50 no sign of AF -ve tests and temp is still ‘above the line’ but doing it’s crazy thing so not sure what happening. How are you?

@Newbie0818 oh no sorry af turned up. Hopefully a Christmas surprise then 🤞

@PosiPantsOn how are you getting on? I’m good thank you. I’m on cd12 now so will start doing OPKs in the next day or so

How are we all 🥰

@Suki2020 all being similar to my previous 3 cycles I should be around 10dpo on Xmas day, but let's see what happens 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm a bit fed up with it all tbh.

@xoJellyBean feeling meh. How are you?

@Newbie0818 me too, fed up is the best way to describe it! what cd are you at now? I’m cd18

@xoJellyBean it just sucks doesn't it. I'm cd7 and af finished a couple days ago. I actually think I may have not ovulated last cycle so hoping this will be a better one. Have you ovulated yet?

@Newbie0818 defo, two of my close friends had their babies in the last couple of weeks, which then comes with the questions ‘when will you have your own wee one’ 😭 I think I ovulated yesterday, to be confirmed with temps. Are you testing for ovulation?

@xoJellyBean ah fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

Nope, just seeing what happens with cm and temp shifts. Usually around cd21 it seems. I got my fertility appointment through today and it's next week 💃🏼 so happy it's come around so quickly 🙌🏼

@Newbie0818 aww that’s brilliant! So soon, hope it goes ok for you :) also meant to ask how your puppy is doing?

@xoJellyBean he's good thanks! Very naughty, definitely keeps us on our toes haha. He looks a lot different now his puppy fur is gone, like an old man 😂

@Newbie0818 he’s so cute!!😍😍 I am so thankful for our furbaby too, defo fills a void when times are bad 🤗

@xoJellyBean definitely!

I’ve had such lower back pain since Monday... could this be ovulation related? 🙃 so painful!

@xoJellyBean probably! I get bad back pain too during ov. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I don’t think I’ve ovulated yet! 🤯

Hi @xoJellyBean by looking at your graph I don’t think you have. Maybe your body tried. Are you using OPK’s with temping?

@Suki2020 starting to think that myself, I had ewcm last night and slight rise in temp this morning🤷🏼‍♀️ I don’t use OPKs cause they stressed me out too much but I might go back to them again... how are you?

@xoJellyBean I’m ok thanks, a little fed up with ttc as it never seems to happen, on cd21 now and still waiting for ovulation.

@Suki2020 100% agree with being fed up, I’m cd24 with no confirmation of it either 😭

@xoJellyBean think I could be in for another long cycle. Doesn’t look like we will get a Christmas surprise

@Suki2020 I know :( how is your oh feeling? Mine said ‘I just want one of our own’ this morn and it almost breaks my heart more tbh!! Especially since I’m probably the problem here 😭

@xoJellyBean yeah I think he finds it hard as it’s out of his control, and he sees how I get disappointed each cycle when AF arrives. It’s so difficult to stay positive after we’ve waited so long isn’t it
