Apparently I'm not eligible for CB study.. maybe because I've already used it before suppose ah well.

Had the email but haven't sent back my consent form yet. I've asked if I can do it in a couple of months instead so hopefully they'll let me

AF was due yesterday but hasn’t turned up. I’m not pregnant so it seems I didn’t ovulate when I thought. Annoyed at myself as I was really lax about OPKs and didn’t do any temping to verify, and we also have barely had sex since FW as I’ve had a virus or something. I’ve no idea when I did ovulate, hopefully only a couple of days later as I want AF to arrive now! Going to properly temp this cycle as well as use my new Clearblue monitor.

Sending good vibes to everyone else!

AF came, not a suprise really as I!!!8217;ve got spotty and was eating everything in sight last night.
Can!!!8217;t go to my wedding dress fitting as it's an hour and a half away and the snow is too bad here in Suffolk.
So I think it!!!8217;s a day of wallowing under a blanket.
Hope everyone else is ok and AF stays away.
Stay safe in the snow xx

Sorry, keep forgetting about the numbers appearing instead of apostrophes

Oh munchkin, that's a bit rubbish.

Fingers crossed for everyone in TWW. I'm just waiting on AF now, last time I came off the pill I was really lucky that I just went straight back to a 28 day cycle, this time I thought was the same as I got my first period exactly 28 days after stopping the pill. But clearly not, CD31 and counting! If it doesn't appear today/ tomorrow then I can't try again until May, which is a bit poop. I sort of feel like I'm going to come on, very bloated but my ibs isn't playing up like it normally does immediately pre AF.

So OH wants to book a holiday for my birthday in early May but I'm due to be on my period then I think. Has anyone tried that hormone pill that can delay periods? If I took it a month early would it change my cycle from then on to be a different part of the month Or after it is delayed do you get a short cycle?

I took Norethisterone last year and honestly it was awful (although perhaps I just reacted badly). I got horrendous cramps like I was getting my period without any bleeding, so bad that I stopped taking it after a few days as the whole point was to avoid being sore. I then got my period a week or so later and it was extremely heavy and painful. My OH has begged me never to take them again as they made me so unwell! When I googled, there were loads of other complaints from women who had same symptoms But I am quite sensitive to hormones in general so maybe I was just unlucky. I will never ever take it again, though. It was truly horrific.

Hello everyone,


I'm back...


I hope everyone is okay and doing as well as they can.
The snow is terrible where I am (County Durham) but I've made it in to work.


AF is due on the 9th of March so I believe I am currently in the 2WW.


Good luck to all

Welcome back HappyLassie!

No sign of AF yet so I obviously didn't ovulate when I thought. I had some pains around what I thought was 9dpo so I'm wondering if that's actually when I ovulated. Either way, we clearly missed the boat time-wise this month so I just want AF to appear so we can embark on a new cycle!
