Long cycle girls ttc #3

[Justanothercyster]

Hi girls, getting a bit paranoid that the old thread will fill up and we'll lose each other so here's the next for when it's done :)

@Skl2021 thank you! My consultant has hopes I'll be pregnant by March😭🤞🏻 here's hoping. How are you?

@xoJellyBean that is such positive news!! Keep positive I know it's hard but your one step further!! IV got everything crossed for you it will happen ✨ I'm doing ok I think I may have ovulated over the weekend so I'm hoping period arrives sometime next week. We will get back ttc after IV had my first period. So I'm just waiting for something to happen now. It's been 4 weeks now since miscarriage so hoping period will come soon I just want to get back to trying. The waiting around is hard xx

@Skl2021 🤞🏻✨💛 positive thinking always!

Aww I'm sure the wait isn't pleasant. Hopefully your period will come soon so you can begin to try again🥰 xx

Hi girls,

Hoping I could join your thread. I’m 33 and ttc having been off the pill since April this year. I’ve had previous stints off the pill and tried diff forms of contraceptive in the past 15 years (copper coil) and have always had very regular cycles of around 30 days. This time is a different story through with my first three cycles 28 days and the last 3 cycles 36 days.

i’m currently on cycle 7 and it’s day 36 and I haven’t gotten AF yet, although I got a BFP this morning. I was so sure this month was the month too as I had sore nipples for 1 week which has turned into sore boobs for going on a week now and cramping for 10 days. I was really optimistic this was all pregnancy related as normally I get nothing until after AF shows up, but who knows what’s going on. I just feel really deflated and like my body is just not working right for me anymore, although my family and DH keep reminding me it’s only been a few months and not to stress it will happen.

I am not one to track having done 3 months of bbt at the beginning which I then stopped as I found it was disrupting my sleep. This month however I went back to to temping and was also the first month I tracked using OPKs but I didn’t get any positives (only the odd highs), but then I got a confirmed ovulation on CD18 from my FF app and we went on holiday at the same time so I thought I’d stop testing and stressing. Femometer thinks I ovulated much later on CD27 though but I don’t know. Ive tried to attach my chart but it won’t let me, but basically it is pretty erratic which has been the case since I started tracking 6 months ago…maybe I don’t even ovulate?! Anyway this whole thing is exhausting. I’ve been pregnant before when I was 28 and I ironically got pregnant whilst on the pill and made the difficult decision to have an abortion so maybe this is my punishment 😑😑😑

Anyway, it’s been nice to read through this thread from the beginning and see all your stories, including the success stories and everything in between. It’s nice to know I’m not alone in the worries and doubts and the frustrations each month when I think I have to go through another month and wait another 20+ days to ovulate 😬😬

@Champagnecharlie88 hey and welcome. Congrats on your BFP🤍!

@Justanothercyster congratulations 🎉 sorry I’m late not been on here for a while as I’ve been taking a break from it all. Hope you are doing ok.

@xoJellyBean hey hope you are doing ok

Hey @Suki2020 was thinking about you. How are things??

@xoJellyBean thank you for the welcome :-). I meant BFN in my message, defo not pregnant and AF arrived on day 38 of my cycle. Wishful thinking on the part of my fingers clearly!

@xoJellyBean not sure if I said this before but I'm glad things are progressing for you with appointments and whatnot, and super glad your consultant is so confident! 🥳

I just had a positive OPK so fingers crossed that means the soy isoflavones worked to kick my cycle back into gear post-miscarriage... it actually feels good to be entering a TWW again after not ovulating since the MC at the end of July 🙈

@Champagnecharlie88 oh no!! Did af show yet or have you tested anymore??

@katewitch thankyou. I'm still annoyed I need to pay for it all myself but sure, I'm getting somewhere hopefully 🤣 yayyy for the positive opk! Are you trying this month? I'm glad your body is getting back to 'normal' again 🤍

@xoJellyBean yes that's annoying 😂 but it will be worth it 😁 yes we are trying this month, a stronger positive OPK today the darkest I've ever had! 😱 so hopefully that means good things, it's CD22 so around my normal ovulation time... We are doing SMEP 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

So ladies I'm back! Period has arrived im on cd 4 now and ready to start trying again. Don't know if my cycle will be long or short or when IL ovulate but I'm glad to be starting a fresh cycle after that awful time. X

@katewitch any signs of ovulation yet? 👀

@Skl2021 welcome back! Hope you're okay. 🥰

I get my MRI results tomorrow 🙃 shitting myself tbh. If it's a fibroid I can't have clomid!

@xoJellyBean thankyou! I'm doing ok. Can't believe I'm back here ttc is such a rollercoaster. But I need to try again so here goes 🤞 I hope you get the results u need! Got everything crossed for good news!! Xx

@xoJellyBean did u get results? How u doing xx

Hello ladies. My scan has shown a tumour on my womb unfortunately. More tests to follow next week but I've been advised to stop TTC as it's too risky 💔💔 my dreams of being a mum are shattered

@xoJellyBean I'm so sorry to hear this, such horrible news 💔 please don't give up hope of being a mum! I'm praying everything turns out ok for you 🤞 xx

@Skl2021 they are suggesting hysterectomy at the moment BUT I'm in for another MRI with contrast this time and more bloods so I hope there's something else that can be done🥰 xx

@xoJellyBean Wow that drastic straight away? How are you doing? I can't imagine being told that news. I really do hope they have another option for you IV got everything crossed for your next tests. Xx

@Skl2021 yes! I nearly fell off my chair especially because this all started because I wanted a baby. It's got blood supply apparently, the safest option is hysterectomy as it has potential to bleed... I've to go back to birth control as well because there's risks now with a pregnancy. I'm just in shock but such is life really. Trying to not let anger and bitterness get hold of me xx

@xoJellyBean I don't even know what to say. Ttc can be such a hard journey and can lead to places you don't expect to ever be 💔 I'm not surprised your shocked I'm sure it will take a while to get your head around. I really hope there's another option for you. Your a strong person keep going ❤️ xx

@xoJellyBean I'm so so sorry to hear that 💔 there are other ways, always always keep the faith. You will be a mum one way or another. Stay strong, sending lots of love your way 💕

Oh @xoJellyBean I'm so sorry I don't know what to say. Regardless of what they have to do your health has to be the most important thing, there are other ways to become a mum

We are all here if you need to talk about it. Sending you huge hugs xx

How's everyone 🥰

@xoJellyBean I have just ovulated and I'm now 1dpo so back in the dreaded tww! I have not missed ttc 🤦😩 can't believe I'm doing it all again. I hope your doing ok? 💞✨ xx
