Sorry to hear that Millie.

AF is due here on Monday and I'm not feeling positive at all. I already feel like she's gearing up to make an appearance. I'm just feeling crampy and bleurgh tbh.

Meep Meep, I hope you get some answers from the tests you are booked in for

Sorry AF had got you Millie

Firebird, welcome! Hope your stay in short, in a good way xx

Well I've decided to give up on the CB digi tests after another smiley face today! I want to punch the face lol

I have been having some small cramps/twinges again today and my undies are pretty wet (sorry TMI) but checked CM and not EW.

I have absolutely no idea what is going on. We have been BDing every second night since CD 6 lol Couldn't manage last night but may try tonight if these look like signs of OV?

What do you all think?

Argh what a nightmare Clara! I wonder if your hormones are just a bit messed up? Does def sound like potential ov signs but I know some women can have multiple surges. Maybe your body is a little out of practice though and just taking a while to gear up...

I'm no expert though sorry :-(

Thanks Cats,

That's me 9 months off the pill and only had 4 cycles: 42, 35, 38 and 122 and now on CD26 and was kind of hoping I'd be back to the 36ish mark but I guess it doesn't work like that.

I was just so relieved when AF came eventually and hoped everything would regulate from there but I'm not sure it is.

I think testing with OPKs is stressing me out too much as I've not had anything close to a positive since December but doc says I did ov last month but I gave up testing during my 122 cycle.

Will just need to hold out and see if AF comes and maybe give up OPKS and try a more relaxed approach

Oh Clara how frustrating :mad: I never got on with opks, so I'm afraid I can't offer any advice. If it's really stressing you though it's prob best just to stop.

Meepmeep

Sorry to hear that Millie - I can understand your frustration and upset. It's such a roller coaster.

So sorry to see AF is here for you Milliebob - sending huge hugs! Xx

I seem to be having Internet connection issues at the moment so have been unable to update the list as I can't do it on my phone. I'm hoping it's down to the weather and will improve as it's very frustrating as it flickers on and off or stays off. I'm working tomorrow but will try to update afterwards. Baby dust to all. Xx

Clara when I had my 74 day one doc said she thought I would have ovulated eventually to cause AF to come - but like you I wasn't testing. Personally I'm not convinced but hey ho. I really feel your pain though in Jan I had been off 9 months and only had 5 cycles and even now it's been 14 months and I've only had 9. So sorry you're going through the same x

Oh and I should add I've been on thyroid meds since Jan and that hasn't done much so seems to just be an unexplained quirk of my body!!

Hi Cats, that's so much for your support!

The doc was doing random bloods and said they caught what they thought was an LH surge on 6th May so when I came back from holiday they did more bloods on 17th and progesterone was significantly higher than previous bloods. From that she said this has suggested I had OV'd and could prob expect AF within a couple of weeks and she did turn up on 28th May. I believe i did OV last month but not sure about this month, which is a shame considering how much we have been BD!!!

Unxplained quirks are rubbish eh?!

Had a good chat with the hubby last night and have decided to chuck OPKs for the next couple of months and just BD every other day (that's if AF comes within a reasonable time frame) and just wait and see what the Gynacologist has to say next week.

Can I please be moved to the if in doubt area please? AF packed her bags on Monday so I am now waiting on OV on CD8

Hope everyone is ok xx
