Our Group

This thread was set up for those of us who have really long cycles. No matter what the reason of your long cycles you are welcome here. It is hard to find other ladies that love to have the 2WW because it took them 3 months to get there. We are here to offer support and to listen to all your ranting. Please join our group and together we can get through the TTC without Oing together. If you would like to join just post Join Please in your title and add any information you would like next to your name like your chart or how many little ones you have. I hope we become a close family here.

Thanks for the new thread ZoeJanesMommy- hope you are doing well!

My cycle is wacky already and it's only day 15. I had some EWCM on day 10- the earliest that's happened since I started charting, so things were looking up. Today, day 15 my temp rose a little, nothing crazy...but I'm spotting. I've never spotted mid cycle ever, as long as I've been having periods...except one of my 80 something day cycles I spotted around day 30. But day 15 is early...plus I have cramps. Anyone want to take a stab at what that means- cause I'm at a loss! Just another wacky cycle I guess.

This was my HSG cycle, so maybe that has something to do with it. My results were all good though- as were DH's sperm analysis- so that's positive!

You know what's funny though? When I did get the EWCM and the thought crossed my head that maybe I am actually ovulating normally this cycle, I was like "wow already? but I just had my period like 2 weeks ago!" These long cycles have messed up my sense of normal timing!

[sammypants]

Hi everyone! School just started this week and it's craaaaaazy! Hope everyone is staying sane (or at least trying).

I'm on CD 84. It's been 15 days since my four day EWCM patch. I'm still planning on testing Sunday morning. Not sure which way this will go. I won't be devastated if it's BFN but still hoping...

I don't know what it feels like to be pregnant so I'm not sure if some stuff I'm experiencing is all in my head or the real thing.

Well, we'll see what Sunday brings!

Hey Lauren, it's possible that the cramps and spotting are from ovulation. TCOYF talks about the "secondary" signs of ovulation and mentions both as symptoms. Who knows? Could be a "regular" cycle!

Just wanted to voice my my aggrivation of this month. First off I am happy that I actually O'd, that is a huge improvement and it was on CD18!!!! YEAH go clomid. But on a lower note my opk's were still coming up negative, which I was not testing a good times because I have been so crazy. We tried to DTD every other day but it turned into every 3 days and just my luck we missed O day. I know there is still a slight chance we caught the egg or that FF is wrong on O day, but I am throwing this cycle out!! Maybe next cycle, hey atleast I only had wait 18 days to O that is ssssssssssssoooooooo AMAZING!! I was very surprised.

That's great news!! 18 days is awesome! I'm sorry that you may have missed it this cycle, but glad that the clomid is helping. Can't wait to hear some good news from you ZJM!

[Lauren2010]

That's awesome ZJM! So glad you ovulated! Weeee! You still have a shot!

So my spotting continued, and continued...and I have cramps. I think it may be AF? On CD 15 with no ovulation- ack! I am still calling it spotting for now so FF doesn't start me on a new chart. Too bad the Dr office isn't open until Tuesday! And I am supposed to start clomid my next cycle on CD 5- which if I did start yesterday, CD 5 is Tuesday. I hope the nurses answer my call Tuesday so I can ask them if I should start the Clomid then!

[lilmom]

Sammypants - I'll be anxiously awaiting good news from you tomorrow morning!
Good luck!

ZJM - That is so great that you are ovulating! There's still a chance you might have caught that eggie..and if not, maybe next time! At least the clomid is working, that's positive!

Lauren - that's weird..you'll have to keep us posted! I sure hope you can get in touch with the doc first thing Tues!

I have had the same problem with the OPKs. Never getting a positive, even though I know I am Oing on the clomid. This month I took them twice a day, and still no positive, although the line did get gradually darker in the 3ish days leading up to O. Very frustrating, but at least I am Oing before CD20 on the clomid, lol.

That is very weird about your AF, but you know that happened to me, when I went to the doc, they said it was because I had not actually had AF yet it was just my lining getting too filled with blood and leaking it out. She said everytime I thought I was having a AF I wasnt it was jut the linning. I hope you get good news and get to start the clomid soon.



On another note I think I didnt O after all. Yesterday I got super EWCM just falling out twice so of course we DTD and my OPK's are still negative but the line is getting darker. And I was feeling crampy yesterday but not like normal AF crampy. So we will see. I am still excite about having a half way normal cycle . It actually makes TTC fun!! http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2e5c92 Just in case you want to peek.

P.S. THanks for all the positive comments I really appreciate them and I love this group

[ZoeJane'sMommy]

[jeminijad]

My last suspected O was not in fact an O. So I am still here- had EWCM Fri & Sat, so we DTD Friday night.

I can't remember what CD I am on. Something like 50?

[ZoeJane'sMommy]

jeminijad: I am so sorry. That stinking O, I hope it comes for you soon. We are here for you.

[Lauren2010]

I'm in need of some support ladies-feeling pretty frustrated. I called the dr. this morning to see if I should start taking clomid today since AF came so early this cycle (day 15!). She recommended I wait until the next cycle since this was so strange-she would feel better if I started after a normal period.

So here I go again....waiting.

[vivica2]

do any of you ladies get continuously pos OPK's with your long cycles?? (and yes i did test, neg FRER today ) iv had them for nearly 2 weeks now... and im wondering why!?

http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/1b07bd

[jeminijad]

Vivica, I have the opposite problem- I never have positive OPKs, or at least not what the directions say are positive! I've never had a test line as dark as the result line. The women I've talked to IRL or online that had continuous positives either a) had PCOS or b) were pregnant!

So, if I O'd when I think I did, I'm 2 dpo. Somewhere between 1 and 3 dpo, anyway. I knew when I O'd to conceive DD and my last m/c, so I can get it right sometimes!

[vivica2]

thanks. apparently Answer brand OPK's are the devil.

[lilmom]

jeminijad - that stinks! but who knows, maybe this time O is for real and it will still be this cycle that does the trick! Hugs, and hoping for you.

Lauren- awwww...I hate waiting. But maybe the doc is right to err on the side of caution. Just a thought here, was your cycle really super light this time? Or was it normal? Or unusual in some other way? That could really have made the doc want to wait, because maybe it was some sort of heavy spotting? Hugs, hugs, hugs. Maybe you will O and not need the clomid after all. (We can always try to be positive, right?) For what it's worth, I'm waiting too, since we're hopefully moving soon, and I hate it.

Vivica- like jeminijad already said, I have always heard continuous pos OPKs means either prego or PCOS. Sorry it's so frustrating!

AFM - I'm pretty excited for 2 reasons. #1, FF says I am now 6 DPO. I can't believe I actually O'ed. So, if my LP stays the same, which it typically does, this should be a 38 day cycle for me. This means 2 cycles in a row that were less than 40 days, which for me is super awesome.

Reason #2. DH got a call about a job in the city we want to move to!! If this happens, this means we could be moving really soon, and I can go to a REAL specialist and go back to acupuncture! (which is how I got DS!) So if you are a pray-er, please just say a quick prayer. If you are a finger crosser, or good viber, I will take that too! Maybe, just maybe, I will have a baby in 2011.

Actually, I hope we all will. Hang in there girls.

Lilmom-your chart is looking good! Keep us posted!

I get almost positive all the freaking time, but its never completely positive, that is just strange I am sure you have already researched it on the net but that is the only way I seem to find answers.

Awesome less than 40days that is something to celebrate and I just said a prayer for you to get that job(or DH).



I am CD 26 still no O...................took clomid 6 days and it still has done nothing. I really thought I was prego because FF originally said I o'd on cd 18 and I have been super crampy yesterday and today.........but come to find out those are probably just O cramps but it wont really happen. Its like my body wants to but my ovaries say "SCREW YOU". Ok thats my rant thanks for listening.

[lilmom]

Lauren- thanks! I refuse to test until I get to 13 days though! That's my typical LP. But thank God for a cycle that is shorter, even if I'm not pg, which I don't think I am. I will be ok too if it's not this cycle, with the possible impending move going on. Really, probably will not be trying the next cycle either..unless we move really fast or something. But no word on that deal yet.

ZJM- That is so frustrating about the clomid not working!!! Maybe, just maybe, there is still hope though? It ain't over til it's over, right? Anyway, I hope it all gets straightened out and results in a beautiful BFP! I can't remember but is this your first round of Clomid? Sorry for not remembering..
