long cycles support thread :) the yelping vaginas club! (closed group)

[mandy1229100]

Hi ladies, Im still new to this site and was looking around and found your thread, was hoping for some advice on my chart, im on cd68 right now (very unusual for me) but i think i o'd on cd61 but FF is giving me a window from cd58-cd63! I just was hoping to get some answers so i can figure out when this long horrific cycle will end!

Hi Mandy I'm useless at understanding charts but hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be able to help you soon.

Well my temp is up again! It's looking like I possibly did o, I'm just not 100% sure if it was cd26 or cd29.

And guess what....I'm already symptom spotting to be fair though I've had these 'symptoms' for the last few days (before ff gave me crosshairs) but when I seen the crosshairs my mind went into overdrive!

How's everyone else?

Welcome Mandy! Several of us have had cycles last as long and even longer as yours. Many of the ladies are now preggers! So hang in there I agree with FF that its looks like you ovulated around cd61. Is this your first time tracking your bbt or using opks? You can expect AF or hopefully a bfp instead, around 14 days after o. Hope this helps!

 

[seabean]

Newmrs...nice temps! It is starting to look like you ovulated! What happens to your o date if you remove the opk that wasn't Really positive? It might help FF be more accurate, but they are occasionally off by a day for me. It's too early for symptoms, but I know how it feels to be in the tww for the first time in a while, and you just can't help it! Hehe.

 

[NewMrs2011]

If I remove the +opk I get dotted crosshairs on CD 29. I guess that would probably make my chart more accurate and looking at my temps I think cd29 probably makes more sense. I'm kinda a annoyed that I got fed up with OPKs so quick because if I had just persevered I might have a better idea. We also haven't bd since cd25 so I have absolutely NO hope! However, if I have a regular cycle again, I guess I can cope with that and just try harder next month!

On a completely different subject, I've just been reading about the storm that's heading your way. It looks so scary! I hope you all are ok and it doesn't cause you too much trouble!

 

[NewMrs2011]

I dunno if any of you will remember but a few weeks ago I ordered a psychic reading online. I have just received the following:

As I connect around you I have been shown conception around you as being that of a baby boy and feel that he will be with you very soon, the month that I was shown with my baby cards shows to me a positive month for late January early February 2013 I don’t see any negative occurrences around you and I do feel that this would be a month for positive results but the month highlighted could be the month of confirmation I would also like to mention that from time to time the months that I give can also relate to scans but I do feel the month given as a month of relevance around pregnancy .

I do also pick up that November will have significance around you trying to conceive it could be that your body has changed in some way ready for conception taking place but I do know that you will be blessed with this baby boy and do see you giving birth in 2013 x

Interesting! I only do these for fun but it certainly makes you think when some things ring true. Suppose there are thousands of other ladies that could apply to though!

Raven - I see that AF came for you Your chart was so promising, I hope you are ok and that the next cycle works out for you.

Thank you so much =) and yes this is my first time temping and using opks!, FF helps alot with learning about charting andunderstanding your cylce, I was so thankful for that site.

Since I started this crazy cylce I've been symptom spotting! Haha glad I'm not the only one who does that.

Now since I have O'd I just feel poopy! Bloated crampy and sore bb's.

What symptoms are you spotting?

 

[Rachel789]

Newmrs- that is a very interesting psychic reading! It is looking like you o'ed so that's great news. I really hope the reading is right and your cycles get back on track so you can get your bfp

Dee- looks like you should be o'ing soon! with your regular cycles now it should only be a matter of time...I really hope this is your bfp cycle!

Raven- so sorry the witch showed

Mandy- welcome to the thread! I hope this long cycle of yours was a fluke and you get back on track soon. I know how frustrating long cycles are. How long have you been ttc?

I hope everyone else is doing well and those of you in the path of this storm get through it ok. I live in Florida and didn't even get hit with it but it has been really windy here for days now because of the storm..that shows you how crazy huge it is!

We have been trying for 10 months now, but this is the first time we started temping to verify O and the only reason my doc suggested that was because i missed my period, hopefully it is a fluke and I never have to deal with it again =) same for everyone else with long cycles!

 

[cmwilson]

Oh Raven - I'm so sorry about AF. I know I didn't help by reminding you how good your chart looked. I'm sorry. I just know your time is coming.

Mandy - Welcome! I hope this cycle is a fluke and your cycles will shorten. I agree with Dee (seabean) with your chart. Good luck with temping and opks. They can be frustrating but stick with it.

NewMrs - Your chart looks good so far! I know what you mean about symptom spotting. It's hard not to! That looks like a great reading! I hope it comes true for you!

Dee - I hope O is around the corner and I hope the preseed does the trick for you and that this is your cycle.

Rachel - How have you been feeling? When's your next appointment?

Well as for me, my husband and I ventured out this morning for our doctors appointment and it went well! There was no ultrasound today but we did get to hear the heartbeat and it was nice and strong at 154 bpm! In other news, we are bracing ourselves for hurricane Sandy. We live in southeastern Pennsylvania so unfortunately we are right in the path of the storm. Things are supposed to get worse here this evening so we are just hunkering down here. I'll keep you informed from the eye of the storm!

 

[Rachel789]

Caroline- I am feeling ok. I have good and bad days still. I just really want my normal appetite back that I lost 2 months ago. How are you feeling? I had my 12 week scan last week which went great and my next ob appt is a week from tomorrow. All of Dh's family lives in Philly any my uncle and his family live on Long Island ny so I am hoping everyone is ok with the crazy storm coming. Hopefully they are over exaggerating it and it won't be as bad. I have a lot of experience with storms living in fla!

What symptoms are you spotting?

This is my first proper 2ww and it's impossible to try and not get your hopes up!

I feel ok overall, but the last few evenings (including tonight) I've just been sitting watching TV and all of a sudden my cheeks have started burning! Like a hot flush but just my cheeks! I didn't think anything of it until I got crosshairs on FF and when I googled it, it came up as a symptom. Another thing, which is really odd and sounds disgusting (sorry!), when I was getting in the shower yesterday I noticed the veins in my boobs were really blue and they really stood out, and I've never noticed that before. Oh, and this may be tmi, but I've also had a LOT of cm.

It doesn't help matters that I took a cheapy OPK and got a really convincing evap

 

[NewMrs2011]

Glad to hear your scan went well Caroline!

So sorry AF got you Raven

I'm watching the news coverage of the storm, it's on all the news channels in Scotland/UK but I'm watching CNN just now. The sea especially is crazy and I've never seen anything like it.

Weather in general amazes me and I always said I would love to experience a hurricane however I soon changed my mind when we got caught in a tropical storm when we were in Orlando a couple of years ago!

Stay safe everyone x

 

[mrsc81]

Great news on the your appt caroline, when will you have your next ultrasound?
Hope your staying safe from the storm

 

[mandy1229100]

Ive also had alot of those symptoms newmrs. hot flashes galore! it's horrible haha, lots and lots of cm (milky white), and i have noticed veins as well but that could mean that af is coming, but we are going to go with it means i'm (we are) pregnant until proven other wise =)

 

[NewMrs2011]

It's been quiet in here today! Hope everyone's ok

I have been feeling awful today. Woke up sweating with a really sore head and feeling like I was gonna be sick. Came home from work at lunch time and spent my dinner hour in bed! Felt a bit better after a wee nap but still have a sore head and feeling yucky. There's so many bugs/colds/coughs going around just now, just that time of year I guess

 

[seabean]

Newmrs...I think the warm face flushing and tired feeling is a great confirmation that you really did O! I get hot and a warm face in my tww also. It's progesterone surging! Hopefully the tww will fly by for you and you can start testing soon any idea when you might start peeing on some more sticks?

My temps are low, which usually happens just before ovulation, but I have been o'ING more like cd16/17. Not cd14! Gasp! We shall see once my temps go up

 

[NewMrs2011]

I'm no chart expert but it does look like o is not too far away for you!

Oh I've already been peeing on sticks the one I took yesterday (posted in thr hpt gallery!) definitely had a 2nd line but I took the pic just out with the 5 minute window and doesn't look like it much colour. I'll do another tomorrow just because I'm obsessed lol. Realistically I think my chances are slim though given that this is the first time I've ovulated in months!
