September TTC and 2ww thread

[Pbn3]

Im wondering if late o changes CD 1 date? Ff is predicting a 29 day cycle which had never happened in my life lol im very very regular at 26-27 days with 27 being my longest! I'm telling new donor date based on my usual periods but is that date now wrong?

Yes it can. Your luteal phase will generally stay the same so regardless of what cd you o, your af due date will be after your usual lp. Lp can change over time with diet though. Mine got down to 10 days during my le diet days, yet lengthened over time back to 13 days after I stopped.

Ive noticed that too! My last one was only 11 days and they usually are 13-14 so I guess we will see with this one. I just wish I didnt have to plan so far ahead but with donor living hours away and at work most of the week it makes it so hard

Need to vent- in the last week I have found out that three people I am close to are pregnant. One of them in my younger sister who is not married and very much not ready for a kid (very hard to even pretend to be happy for her given the situation). The other is a cousin whose first is 4 months younger than my first and she is already pregnant again. Her kids will be 17 months apart. I very much wanted baby #1 and baby #2 to be about 2 years apart, would have preferred 22-24 months apart but now that is out the window because I barely got my cycle back after BF for 13 months and now we are past the 24 months apart. I am trying not to regret it, but I keep thinking I should have stopped BF earlier so I could get my cycle back faster. I had to go on metformin because of PCOS and even though it is safe, I didn’t want to take it while still BFing. BTW- I am so super happy for the third person who is a good friend who has been trying and trying and had one miscarriage already. I know I am being selfish but the fact that my little sister is pregnant when she could barely take care of herself is really upsetting me because here I am trying (along with all of you ladies) and then there are girls out there who accidentally get pregnant so easily. I have not told a soul on earth that I am trying again so it makes me feel like of alone with my feelings about this.
End rant…thanks.

Hello ladies it's been a couple of weeks since I've posted on here... And so much has gone on in this thread I'm not sure where to begin?!

Firstly, congratulations to those who have their BFP... seeing these always makes me happy and hopeful [emoji4]

And ladies who are struggling (sorry I've read so many posts I can't remember user names) I'm right there with you, almost to the point of giving up completely. It's been 18 months of ttc journey for me, a couple of breaks due to timing etc and my ectopic, so I completely understand how tiring and draining swaying can be... wanting something so bad but there's no sign that it'll all fall into place any time soon.... And this is where I'm at, I know that if I want this to happen I need to have faith that it will, believe in myself and my body's ability to carry a healthy new baby (boy in my case) into this world... regardless of what life and my body throws at me I have to remain positive, thankful and willing to receive! But I tell you what it's damn hard to stay positive!

... so just to recap, since May this year my cycles have been crazy long and I can't tell when I'm ovulating.... no opks just temps. This last cycle my DH and I decided we'd have a break and not ttc to see if my cycle would return to normal. FF gave me crosshairs exactly when I thought ovulation was occurring and I honestly thought my cycle had returned to normal... I was wrong. A few days after that FF removed the crosshairs and they haven't returned yet... no AF as yet and I really have no clue as to where I'm at with this cycle.?! Either my AF will show up when she pleases or a very sneaky surprise bfp! Who knows? I'm not sure what I should do next.

That can be rough! Especially when no one IRL knows where you are at.
I know , it’s so frustrating ! I’ve been on both sides of that situation, and neither are fun!

I’m sure it will happen very soon for you. [emoji4] But in the meaning time, rant away x

Sounds like you have had a trying time ☹️
It doesn’t look like you have ovulated yet,from your chart ? What’s your cycle length usually?
