Long Irregular Cycles 'r' Us

[Erised]

Congrats WTTMommy! Hope you have a happy & healthy 9 months =)

Still no pregnancy symptoms for me, been trying to spot them but without any luck. 3 Days left until testing (Wednesday). I'd really like to be positive, but truth is I'm less positive than I was last cycle (which was a bfn). I've had no ovulation cramps, my temperature is lower and less stable than it was last cycle, and where I had sore boobs pretty much through the whole 2ww last cycle I've got nothing now.

But hey ho, nothing is set in stone until the witch arrived. Really hope Wednesday will prove me wrong!

Good luck on Friday Bizy!

Good luck to you too Erised!

Good luck Erised, fingers crossed for you, hope your feelings are wrong

Ok, so something weird going on here, started the grapefruit juice three days ago and today have EWCM. This is exactly what has happened to me for my last three cycles since I decided to try it. My non-grapefruit cycles have had O on days 25, 49 and 56, the grapefruit ones have been CD17, 21 and today I'm on CD14, all three within 3/4 days of starting the juice.

It's got to be coincidence, I'm sure that's not the idea about how it's supposed to work, but it's so strange! Will keep you posted if I actually O!

Love from a freaked out Gemma! x

Grapefruit juice is supposed to increase your CM, and make it better quality. So if you had good CM to start with, I guess it makes sense you'll get EWCM. Whether or not it means you're actually coming up to ovulation, I don't know.

If you do actually ovulate soon though, I might give it a try next cycle. Don't too keen on them or their juice, but it definitely sounds like it's doing at least something for you!

That's odd. Hope it works for you! xx

Funny thing happened to me yesterday. My classroom guinea pig had 3 babies and I didn't even know she was pregnant! She must've had a good time before arriving at my school. I was so surprised and excited to see them in her cage when I arrived yesterday morning. I'm hoping it's a good sign! I hope I'm next...

 

[who's_mummy]

Aww, that's fab! I keep guinea pigs and sometimes breed from them, I love how they're born like proper miniatures of the adult! You will need to sex them though and separate any males at three weeks old, they can sometimes get a female pregnant at that age.

FX for you too lol, let's hope it was a sign!

[BizyBee]

I just found that out actually. I didn't realize I had to separate them so young. I am going to bring them to the vet to sex them, as I don't want to make a mistake and end up with more babies! Luckily, I have a few students who are going to adopt them when they are ready. I posted some pics in my journal.

 

[Erised]

Well ladies, I'll be leaving you all. I'll obviously still check back on everyone, but I'm moving on to First Tri! =D

Got my BFP yesterday, tested on DH's birthday and gave him (and me!) the best present ever. Really hope all of you will be joining me soon, especially BizyBee who should be testing tomorrow. Got my fingers crossed for you hon.

Pictures and information can be read here (to save double posting):
our lives combined in one small heart
I'll hopefully be starting a pregnancy journal soon too, but waiting until after the weekend just to make sure it's not a chemical.

Best luck to all of you lovely girls, really really hope to see you all again in First Tri

can i join in day 40 and still no ovulation

 

[blondeNklutzi]

Erised! I'm so excited for you! Big hugs! We shall miss you, but I'm glad you get to move on.

Well, I have oral surgery next wed. and the dentist wants me to test a couple days before hand. I had a pregnancy test done at the doctor's office last week and it was a BFN. Buuuuut because there is an ever-so-slight chance that I might be pg, they want to make sure since they are using general anesthesia. Very little chance of harm if I am pg, but oh well.

I caved today and bought a BBT, so I'm officially joining you charters. I have mixed feelings about that. Going to wait until the beginning of my next cycle before I start charting of course, who knows when that will be.

Well, that's my ramble for the day.

 

[blondeNklutzi]

Oh hi ThatGirl! Sorry, didn't mean to ignore you! Welcome!

 

[BizyBee]

OMG Erised!!! I can't believe it. I am thrilled that you got a and can't wait to join you in first tri. I'm the last original Serendipity member so I better get moving!

 

[BizyBee]

I am testing tomorrow and I'm getting nervous. I've had light cramps almost all day today and I'm worried that may be close to arriving. I'll let you girls know how it goes. I am leaving for a week on Saturday, so hope I can give you news before I go...

Welcome Thatgirl! Glad you could join us. Hope your cycles are regulates soon!

Hi Blonde, good luck with your surgery and charting. I've never done it, so you'll have to let me know how it goes.

 

[littlestar]

Whoo Hoo! we have some more graduates!!! Congratulations Erised, WTTMommy

Good Luck everyone who is still waiting to test, we seem to be on a roll at the moment!

 

[ThatGirl]

thanks ladies x

 

[Erised]

BizyBee, I've been cramping like mad for days! So that really doesn't mean anything
Thanks for the congrats ladies. Really hope you'll all come over soon too. That is, once I actually move over myself ... I'm waiting, for now. Want more confirmation first (because 8 tests isn't enough)

 

[Lucy Lu]

Ohhhhhh myyyyy gawd!!!!!!! - just saw your status update Erised!!!! Soooo happy for you, and you so deserve this good news! Know what you mean about the tests - you have to pinch yourself to believe it, but wow it is really happening!

Did you get any symptoms yet?

 

[Erised]

Lucy hon, so sorry I haven't gotten back to your PM yet. I'll definitely try to do so today. As I'm sure you can imagine, I've been busy =)

Not too many symptoms just yet. I've had cramps for about 5 days now, so there's definitely stretching and stuff going on already. I'm going toilet a little bit more than usual, but nothing that made me think I was pregnant yet. Oh, and I've been getting random nausea for a while now! In fast, I was complaining to DH this morning that I haven't felt sick yet I'm utterly paranoid right now and driving him insane with my worry. Hopefully that will all get put to rest next week.

ThatGirl, welcome! Hope your stay will be short

 

[who's_mummy]

Yay Erised! Congratulations, fab news!

Bizybee, I see you didn't get chance to update before you went away, hope it was good news .

ThatGirl, welcome, hope you're not here too long!

I didn't Ov straight after I posted last time but think I may have done yesterday, fx because we've had quite a good week on the bd'ing front .

to all
