I'm afraid the tests have gone LittleDragon, sorry. Thanks for congratulations, it's still really early days though so I still don't know how excited I should be!! And I haven't really got any symptoms yet so it hasn't really sunk in yet.
1stTimeTryer I came off the pill in January but only had 3 cycles since then. So I guess getting BFP on 3rd cycle is pretty good going ? just a shame it's so long between goes!!
I was charting for a while but kept forgetting to take temperature so that didn't work very well, but I still found it quite useful for keeping an eye on how long cycles were and trying to find some sort of pattern. I think cycles were just over a couple of months, so I was doing OV tests every day or two from a couple of weeks after AF onwards. I only got 2 positive OV tests in the whole time ? both times because I'd noticed sort of crampy twinges, so tested to see if that was ovulation ? which it was!! The first time I know I ovulated we tried and it didn't work. So the next time I got a positive test I kind of chucked myself at DH every night for 3 nights, and that seems to have worked!! I guess that proves there was no problem except really long cycles, fingers crossed the same is true for you. I found it really hard being on here because most of the people on the month buses seem to have really regular short cycles ? it's hard to find people with the same thing as you!!
I'm fairly sure that my long cycles were due to coming off the pill. Do you know what's causing yours? Have you been to GP? I went twice and saw 2 different doctors, both of whom were really dismissive and told me it could take a year for cycles to regulate and I shouldn't worry and to come back after a year (don't know about you, but i think a year's quite a long time to be sitting and waiting!). One said "You're only 29, you've got plenty of time", as if it was up to her when I start a family!! It made me quite upset that they treated me like i was being really silly. I know that long cycles is nothing compared to the problems some people have, but doctors must be aware that people have been waiting YEARS to TTC, I think they could have been a bit more sympathetic.
It's also made me swear off the pill for life and I'm gonna tell everyone I know to get off it as soon as they even start thinking about TTC. It actually makes me really cross that no one warns you how long it screws you up for. I looked on the NHS website and all they say is that it might take "some women" a "few months" for cycles to get back to normal! They're so busy trying to prevent unwanted pregnancies, they forget some people want them!!
Rant over! Sorry for huge rambling post. Hope some of that is helpful and lots of luck x
