Please add anybody I've missed off!

@MintGreenLife okay that's so good know. That's not good if they tried to not do it in one area then in another you have needed it! Lucky you are in a different area now and good you are receiving checks. If I am fobbed off I will know to maybe push it now. Im not sure about you but my cells were quite bad and I had quite an area taken out with the LLETZ. Also good to know they would ask me. Thankyou X

@Kay00 @Flowers222 thanks! I think I've ovulated but I did have a terrible sleep. Woke at 3.30am again but this time struggled to get back off. My temp was about 0.1 higher than yesterday so hopefully that wasnt a dodgy one and they stay nice and high. I dont want any early spotting this cycle! @Juno231 and @flowers222 it's so nice having tww buddies! @ChinChilly you wont be far behind now too! What happened with your temp this morning @kay00? Hope it went back up for you! 🤞

@Cams50 I take the busy bee vitamins too. Obviously you know I'm not the best person to ask but I only started them last cycle so I'm hoping they just needed a bit longer to start working for me! I also take the seven seas ttc vits, vitamin D and sometimes (when I remember!) extra Vitamin C. Oh and I did try agnus castus again this cycle before ov. I was taking 2 capsules then panicked about messing up my cycle and dropped back down to one! Then I got the static smiley! 😂 I'm also conflicted over whether I should be taking it after ovulation but I've stopped it for now as quite a few things online say not to.

@MintGreenLife I remember lurking all that time ago when you got your bfp! Congrats 💕 so nice to hear some success stories!

@Lovebug06 they don’t usually check your cervix length unless you have more than 10mm removed, and I only had 7mm which is why in Bristol they discharged me from consultant care without checking. In Herefordshire I felt really uneasy about not being checked so pushed for the scans and they were happy for me to have them. From what I understand what I had removed was fairly minimal, but the scan at 18 weeks showed I only had 3mm length above the length they worry about, but by 19 weeks it was longer again ☺️ Hopefully it won’t cause you any trouble, but definitely good to be aware of the possible complications, as the sooner you can have a stitch if you need one the better xx

@FlyingGiraffe thank you 😊 💕

@MintGreenLife it's good to know all this, thanks! I'm glad yours is looking better now.

@FlyingGiraffe thank you! Ok I’m going to keep taking it all and see how I go 😬🤞🏻 Haha I did the exact same with the agnus castes!! I took it for about two months but then stopped because I freaked myself out as loads of threads say it messes up your cycle but then loads say how it helped! Great you got your static smiley though. Sorry about your bad nights sleep. Hope you sleep better tonight and see a big temp rise tomorrow ☺️

@flyinggiraffe well... my temp did go back up, but it wasn't the steep incline I was hoping for. So I'm still suspicious that I haven't actually ovulated yet 🤔🙃😆

Chart

@Juno231 They're pretty varied! I think a 6am alarm every morning would definitely annoy my OH each day! Haha. I'll have to try figure out a pattern. It's due to be delivered tomorrow or Monday, so was going to start tracking Monday. Although having just been to the toilet, after wiping and noticing a little pink tinge, I think AF is finally gonna show tomorrow or Monday. Fingers crossed!

@Lovebug06 Harry is the same he smiles and wags his tail if you call him handsome 🐾❤️🐾 he hasn't left me all day.

Been quite today as I had my first dose 💉 @0830 this morning. Slept for a wee bit this afternoon and the shivers & aches are just starting now. Next Paracetamol due at 10 and then I'll head to bed. Need to put the clocks forward first!

Morning ladies, 7DPO today and will glad to be into next week. Feels like this week has gone so slow. If AF hasn’t come by Thursday do you think that’s enough time to test? Would make me 11 DPO. I’m just waiting now for the second estrogen surge and dip 😂 does everyone get one in their LP? I haven’t got any symptoms, my boobs are also not hurting in my LP which they usually are but maybe that’s because I ovulated this cycle and all the others where anovulatory before.

@Moocher90 That's a good looking chart! I don't think everybody gets a dip, but the chart pro's will be able to tell you.

12dpo and safe to say I'm out this month. Just took my temp and it's fallen off a cliff. I knew the odds were extremely slim this month but still feeling really down. With my longer cycles my next FW isn't predicted until the very end of April, with a test date of mid May 😔 Just all seems a bit blergh. Doesn't help that I hate my job so was naively hoping I'd be preg by now so I could count down until mat leave...! Sorry for the rant!

@MissC07 thanks. Ohh it sucks sorry to hear that AF may be rearing it’s ugly head. I understand with each month it gets harder and harder to bear the thought of not being pregnant x all our times will come though x

@MissC07I feel like that every time AF is about to rear her head. The worst for me is when the spotting starts 2 days before.

I was expecting a temp rise this morning but its dropped so I did another OPK and after them going light yesterday afternoon, they’re really dark again 😫 this is the latest O yet

Forgot to attach

@Moocher90 your chart looks amazing!

@ChinChilly your darker OPK plus that temp dip suggests ovulation will be very soon! Hopefully today or tomorrow 🤞🏻

@MissC07 rant away! I also feel like that every month. And your longer cycles must make it all the more frustrating. Hope you have all the chocolate and wine or whatever treats you like ❤️❤️❤️

@Cams50 I’m hoping it’s today! I’m not sure I cba to BD again tonight 😂 my OPK on Friday night was the darkest I’ve ever had so I was convinced that was it. Wonder if the CP is messing with my cycles 🤔

@chinchilly I would say you were covered if you didn't want to BD again tonight... sure ovulation is imminent for you!

@missc07 hugs xx I have long cycles too and it feels so cruel that we have wait so long for each chance to try!

@moocher90 wow!! Such an epic temp increase. Not everyone gets a secondary estrogen dip, so it could go either way for you. Aim for a Friday testing, but no one would blame you for caving sooner 😁😁😁

@moocher90 I can't help but compare my chart with yours. I really think I haven't ovulated yet. My 'post ovulation' temps are still very similar to pre ovulation in previous cycles. I think I'm going to start testing with OPKs again from today, and will aim to DTD every other day 🙄

Charts

@Kay00 maybe it was a failed ovulation and hopefully you will ovulate again soon in this cycle xx

Yes, I suspect so 😒

On the plus side... its Sunday! Happy Sunday 😊

@Cams50 😂 I'm glad I'm not the only one who's freaked out with agnus castus! My temps after ovulation are a lot higher than usual so I'm wondering if its helped. I'll attach my chart and the last two cycles (haven't splashed out on premium but think you can see the difference!) I usually have quite a slow rise but I'm 3dpo and its 36.80 already.

@Kay00 Argh, I'm so sorry your body isnt playing ball. I would definitely try to speak to a different GP soon. Sending hugs! 💕

@Moocher90 your chart is looking good!!

@ChinChilly I think ovulation is imminent! We really couldn't be arsed either on ovulation day...it was a struggle 😂 But DH was so adamant on dtd cos he knew it was a really good chance! I'd BD today if you can summon up the energy to!

@MissC07 sorry to hear that AF might be on the way for you 😞 are you taking any supplements to try and bring ovulation earlier?

Has anyone got anything exciting planned for today? Its miserable here so we've done our food shop this morning, and then plan on a Parks and Rec and Ru Paul's drag race marathon for the rest of the day. May treat myself to a hair mask too. I had it cut this week and it feels like I've a weight off my shoulders! Literally! 😂

@ChinChilly Hoping you ovulate soon! Especially with dark OPK's! Mine tend to stay super dark for 3 days and the last day is O. So fingers crossed for you.

@Cams50 Thank you! I stupidly gave up chocolate and crisps for lent and by some miracle have managed to stick to it. Cannot wait to eat ALL the chocolate on Friday 🍫

@Kay00 thank you! I'm hoping you ovulate soon too, the long cycles are so draining.

@FlyingGiraffe I sound crazy, but I'm really scared about taking anything to bring it forward incase it messes me up even more 🙈 I might see how things go this cycle and if still 40+ days then ask the doctor (not that they'll do much yet!) Your chart is looking good and I love the sound of your day!! We just walked the dog and did a bit of cleaning. I'll cook a roast later and watch LOD!!!

Some positive news is the weather this week.... 18 tomorrow and 22 on Tuesday here... might have to take my laptop to the garden and 'work' 😎

Hey girlies. Happy Sunday! I’ve really struggled over the past few days and have cried a lotttttt because I really hoped ovulation would be earlier this month but I’m CD24 and no sign of it yet 😔 long cycles are honestly the worst. We’ve BD soooo much but to no avail. Had a really good long chat with DH though and it was really helpful, we both got upset talking about the miscarriage etc and it was good to talk things through. Anywwaaayyyy we’re gonna try and BD every day now in the hope ovulation will be in the next few days to help me not stress about the stupid flashing smiley (think I’m on day 12 🙄 with no high OPKS in the afternoons either) as if we BD daily it shouldn’t matter. That’s the theory anyway! Feel so lucky that he’s so on board and just generally awesome really. Yes it’s tiring BD every day but he says he’s super up for it haha and I also asked him to initiate it sometimes so I don’t feel like it’s always me which he’s more than happy to do. I do feel like my sex drive is higher since coming off the pill so I’m up for it a lot more than I used to be and also I always enjoy it once we get going!! Anyway just wanted to share ha. So that’s the plan. Meanwhile I’m going to try to stop Googling late ovulation side effects and bad egg quality and horrible things like that and just try to wait. Excited to have plans this weekend in gardens and even seeing my parents Tuesday after work in the garden cause the weather is gorge so those things are keeping me going.

Sorry for moaning just HATE having a long cycle!!!! @missc07 and @kay00 and @Chinchilly I really feel your pain 😔

😔 @missc07 I’m really sorry to hear AF may be on her way 😔 it’s so hard to stay positive isn’t it. Will you try anything different this cycle do you think?

@kay00 urgh so frustrating, it’s so hard to say isn’t it. I’d probably agree that it doesn’t look like you’ve ovulated yet :( why are our bodies so rubbish?? Hopefully you’ll ovulate in the next couple of days. Really hope you’re okay ❤️

@moocher90 your chart is a beaut!!! Fingers crossed!!

@mrsmacmac hope you’re feeling okay post vaccine!

@thedaydreambelievers are you feeling better today lovely?

@abi555 thank you for your positive words! I honestly really needed to hear them. I screenshotteed your post so I can look at it when I need a bit of positivity. Hope you’re okay and AF isn’t too painful xxxx

Sending love to everyone and hope everyone’s having a nice weekend xxx
