[FarAwayBird]

Starting a new thread because we got to 999 replies!

@DorsetGirl89that really is dedication to the cause. Though, will a tent really be any cooler?!?

@DoubleDandelion fingers crossed for that BFP 🤞🏻

😆 thank you, true dedication 👌🏻 we have a van/awning set up and can park the van in the shade, so yeah genuinely cooler than our flat at night! Last night was roasting 🥵

Hi,

New to the thread. We're just starting our TTC this month, due to ovulate in about 3 days so we'll see where it takes us 😊hopefully a BFP next month but I'm expecting it to a take a while as I turned 37 at the start of the month.

I'm out for this cycle as AF started this evening. Now CD1 of cycle 3. Little worried though about something and don't know if there's someone who has been through something similar I had my implant taken out and on cycle 1 my luteal phase was only 9 days long, cycle 2 luteal phase was 11 days long so a bit shorter than it should be. Is this something I should be worried about or is it just my hormones balancing back out and I'm being daft?

@CinnamonBuns67when did you have your implant taken out? Your body may just be regulating itself so I would say keep monitoring it

16th May day 1 of 1st cycle as AF arrived morning of appointment so not long ago. Before I was a straight 28 day cycle, ovulate day 14 or 15 and AF arrived bang on schedule. I was on it almost 9 years so makes sense I guess, hopefully next luteal phase will be a bit longer so I can (even if no positive pregnancy test) at least see things getting a bit more normal.

@CinnamonBuns67i reckon another month or two and your cycles should be back to normal 🙂 even though 11 days luteal phase is deemed short I would say for some that is long enough to get pregnant. I have a 14 day luteal phase but just found out I was pregnant at 9dpo. Of course it depends on when your body implants

That's amazing congratulations 🙂 I do hope so 🤞

@CinnamonBuns67i would say it might take a couple of months for your body to adjust ☺️ my luteal phase is only 11 days. It was shorter due to breastfeeding but managed to lengthen it with supplements and probably because baby boy was taking less milk. I think 11 is okay, and I did manage to concieve twice with it being shorter, unfortunately they ended in mc. But it can be done ! X

@rainbowsnack welcome and good luck!

@CinnamonBuns67 I agree with what the other girls have said. I'd say another couple of months and you'll be sorted. Not exactly the same thing but after my MMC my luteal phase was shorter too. I think it's just everything regulating and balancing out again.

So im not tracking ovulation this cycle, requested by partner haha, but im cd24 and normally my cycle is around 26 days. Yesterday started with a couple light tugging cramps and today I just feel like AF is on her way. I know its not over until she appears but not confident this time. Ive reached the 6 month mark so once AF is here I'll book appt with drs to start fertility checks etc.

@LunarBear sounds like a good idea to get the ball rolling.

@SureLookyeah figure best to start it all, time is precious haha!

@ChaE05@SureLook Thank you for the reassurance ladies

@Mummysparrow and @sarahspeaking that's amazing!

@megan345 did you get your peak? @EmPeEf are you 1DPO? I'm 3DPO now. According to the SMEP we should DTD again today. I guess that's in case ov is later than you thought?

@ChaE05 @DorsetGirl89 I was wondering about this too! My GP said day 21 for my blood test, so I obediently booked it for then, I'll be 8DPO on day 21, do you think that's ok? Obviously only 1 day off so surely fine?!

@hollyhocks2no peak yet but i feel it on the rise my lh is a little above baseline everyday so i think its building, had lots of symptoms and we’ve dtd every other day so far so hopefully done enough❤️

@hollyhocks2yes that will be fine! I did a private one on 7dpo and it came back at 54.2. Then when the GP did one I could only get there on 6dpo and it came back at 54.6. So barely a difference between the two x

Well a BFN on FRER this morning at 13DPO, so I’m accepting that I’m out this cycle. AF due Mon or Tues (hopefully, so we can get started again!).

Congrats on all the BFPs this cycle, seems like there have been a lot 😍 I’m off to spend the day sitting in the sunshine and consoling myself with a nice cold 🍹

@DoubleDandelion sorry to hear you're out. Sounds like you've a nice day planned for yourself x

Oh thanks @ChaE05 you were the perfect person to ask, that's put my mind at rest.

Sorry @DoubleDandelion that is really rubbish but you sound stoical. You've reminded me I've got a cocktail in a tin that I'm saving for if this isn't our month.

@megan345 great work! Makes it so much easier to have hope when you know you've given it your best shot.

Hi all! Joining this thread. 3rd cycle for #2, had a MC last month at 7 weeks but pregnancy stopped developing at 5 weeks. Period returned beginning of this month so ovulation due in the next few days! Not a massive talker on here but find the chat so reassuring and helpful, wishing for BFP for you all xx

Hi @NiftySheep I think I remember your name from other threads!

I’m literally so confused ladies!!! I’ve had ewcm today and yesterday but my lh strips are now getting lighter😖what the hell is going on shouldn’t ewcm mean i’m fertile?

4 weeks 4 days and already a 2-3 ! 😍
