LBAM - ttc journey

[love being a mummy]

Thank you

[love being a mummy]

WOW my last post was in Jan 2012.

Update from me.


I think I am in the 2ww. Had a really long cycle this month.
I have irregular periods most of the time between 27-44 days.

We have not used any protection at all since oct 2011 and I am still not pregnant.
A few months ago I gave up actively ttc and stopped trying. Didn't use any protection but just tried to dtd only during the safe times.

This cycle I got to CD 30 and noticed I still hadn't had any EWCM so thought I must have missed O and didn't think much about it. Thought ok well we probably in the safe zone now cause AF would be due anyday.
DTD CD32 and then on CD33 I noticed alot of EWCM. I thought maybe it was left over semen so I done the water test and turns out it was ewcm. Well I think it was so now I think I am in the 2ww, what do you think?
I am now CD40

I'm getting some cramps. Tried to check CM it's dry and cloudy and sticky is that how it should be a few days before AF?
The past few months i've had alot of trouble with EWCM having hardly any at all, this cycle I had a few big globs of it over 2 days.
Just trying to work out what day I should count as O day.
I had a pregnancy test here and I stupidly wasted it today BFN.
Sorry to ramble on.

Hey LBAM, good to see you back. Are you using opks? Sure you know when you O with those irregular cycles? I hardly have ewcm either, which I think is due to my age and hormones, probably. I used to have a lot more in my 20s, that is for sure. My cm gets the same right before AF, even though it will be creamy, and lots of it, during the 2ww- which always makes me think maybe, just maybe, I am pg. So, it's been 7 cycles or so? Just saying, but it might be time for a trip to the doctor to check your hormones or something.....you can obviously get pg with 5 kids, but sometimes you just need a little tweak to get things just right.

love being a mummy,

we missed you on here!!! Maybe this is going to turn into your BFP? Those are some pretty long cycles. Good to see you again, and hope you'll resume posting!

Hope this is your month for a bfp! Did you test again?

It's def. possible you Oed late and are now in the 2WW. Or it's also possible that was a faker and you still haven't Oed. The only way to know for sure would be ultrasound/blood tests. I've had a couple fake O's where I had tons of EWCM and even cramps and stuff, but I never ovulated at all.

CM can be sticky, dry, cloudy at various times in the cycle so no way to tell by that, unfortunately.

Nope stopped using OPK's ages ago cause I stopped swaying and ttc.
I'm not really ttc but if I am pregnant I will be happy, yeah it's been about 7 cycles I think. Which is really long for me. I usually fall pregnant first time.
I think seeing my Dr is a good idea.

Thanks, Yeah I think I might stick around for while. I wanted to come on but ttc and baby talk was taking over my life, just needed a little break.

Hope this is your month for a bfp! Did you test again?

I tested today BFN

Thanks for the reply. I might wait until 14 days past ewcm and if I am still getting negative tests and no AF I'll go get some blood tests.

I would definitely recommend using OPKs when you actively start TTC again. Otherwise you will never really have an idea of O until AF arrives and if you haven't timed intercourse then you might miss your chance. But, I agree with Lola, maybe go to the doctor to get your hormone levels checked. They might even be able to prescribe Clomid or something to get your cycles a bit more regular.
