Newbies and experts

Hi girls well in new to this but not new to ttc sadly we have been trying for little over a year now I have had bloods done and also had a scan last week to just rule anything out that was clear now they are wanting us to try for another year!! Personally I don't think I can do this for another year it's so stressful!

I was taking seven seas trying for a baby and I switched to sanatogen new mum (I think)

I'm assuming so since I never really suffered when I actually stopped them. I figured it was just late onset consequences :( I'm CD 17 of a 26 day cycle and somewhere between 5-7DPO at the mo not sure which though since my efforts at tracking suck ha.

Well that's a plus do you take specific conception ones or just separate ones that you buy as individual vitamins? Because I've been thinking about swapping from pregnacare conception ones.

Also sorry I'm on my phone and for some reason it's posting my comments twice :S

Is it defo from bcp? What part of your cycle are you in? I felt really achy when I stopped but that's about it!

Im in limbo at the moment it doesnt seem like anything is going on! My headaches have gone though could be down to me switching which vitamins im taking

Just a quick update, I'm now having mega headaches (possibly migraines), cramping, spotting, frequent urination, stomach aches, nausea, tiredness (slept for 13 hours last night!) And keep swinging between hot and cold. Times like these I regret stopping my pill because it messed me up so bad. Maybe if I had changed to the normal one from my pop then stopped it might have been a smoother transition. Anyone else have issues 3+ months after quitting BCP? I thought things would even out by now. Rant over aha.

How's everyone doing?

I thought it was first thing too hibou

I must admit when I first tried it I lasted like 7 days as I didn't like waking up at the same time to do it, might as well get lie in's while I can eh!!

Haha I wish it was spotty clothes neurotic

Hi woodwaj nope haven't checked CM. i only finished my last pack of the pill at end of aug/start of sept so i don't know my cycle at all. I guess it looks like I ov'd on day 9.. Guess that isn't too out of the ordinary. Gonna wait til next AF now and start tracking again, might try bbt too since cycle might be strange for a while. Not really going to ttc til nov onwards.

I have a bbt thermometer, it says on the instructions to NOT do it when first waking up.. But i thought the general consensus was that u had to do it asap in the morning??

Is it easy to do? Bbt tracking? I briefly thought about it and tried a couple of times but either I've got a rubbish thermometer or I've somehow managed to do it wrong aha. Aah right, I'm an idiot, I thought you meant clothes wise, sorry.

I might give it another try if I ever find the thermometer in a box!!

Ive got a good spot cream so ill give that a go later!! Bake off time now though!!

Personally it's usually a case of when I remember lol. There is a point (: even with PCOS with all the medical marvels these days (: awh spotty day, that's much better than can't be asked day. I chucked on anything this morning because I had a bad night. I think AF may arrive early since I've been spotting and cramping :/ (TMI but maybe it's a UTI :| hopefully not!)

Do you need to chart at the same time everyday or just as soon as you wake up? Although I have lost my thermometer whilst packing! Im not even sure if there is any point with pcos

having a spotty day today its very attractive ha

Hello Milk and OneLife, like you both I am now on Cycle 3.

I ovulate this weekend and after this try, I've promised myself this is my last planned try. If I don't get a BFP, I am going to chuck the OPKs, Apps, EWCM monitoring etc and just sit back and relax.

Mostly because, it's taken me 3 tries to realise that you can do everything "right" (stopped BC 6mnths ago, started exercising & eating better 6mnths ago, started folic acid 3mnths ago, stopped drinking 2mnths ago....) and still not get pregnant.

So if no BFP by October 8th, I'm really going to stop fussing (or at least try . At 28yrs, I'm ok trying for 12mnths before seeking help.

Hmm I might look into that. As it is I'm trying to remember everything and only keeping track of some stuff on a app on my phone aha.

How is everyone?

Im using a diary for AF, ov and a reminder of all the tablets im taking!! Plenty to forget so its the best way for me!!

That's actually a good idea, I suppose that way it'll be easier to pin point a estimated due date too plus once baby brain hits it'll be a good reminder of symptoms etc lol
Well my OPK has gone from a noticeable line to a faint line. I'm thinking I'll give the rest of the pack a go over the next few days to figure it out then if I can't continue how I was before with other types of tracking (:

It does sound like you have had your peak hibou.. have you noticed any change in CM at all?

I have started filling in a diary so I can look back when I need to handy if you ever need to go to the docs too

I dont drink much either so never had issues on when to poas!

It's easily done on a Monday lol. Nah, had like 3 drinks all day aha.

Well, did my second opk and had a faint line again. Does this mean my strong line yest was a 'peak' and now i'm past ov? As had two faint lines now and one strong one yest. So confused! Not ttc for another month or two as just came off the pill so that might mess me up too!

I think as long as you haven't watered down your pee with loads of drinks you might be ok?

And your not the only one that went to work an hour early today oops

Woodwaj it would seem impressive only the other thing I forgot, and thus haven't done a OPK yet, is that I was on a late shift today so arrived at work an hour early. Would it still work properly now? I think I've probably missed it now though.

I agree Onelife your 2ww does seem to be taking a while. After getting a taster of how long it takes I'm glad I have a demanding job so I can take my mind off it. Do you have a hobby or anything that passes the time?

I wish I had a day off I am having a week off when I move if I ever do!! and I cant wait for it!

Oh yes, keeping busy although OH gets a day off today as he plays football Monday night.. No idea when ov will be though and no point in me doing OPKs now I can usually tell from CM though :s

Also wondering what vitamins everyone is using? I read on some other posts that Seven Seas trying for a baby doesn't agree with everyone (still got headaches thought it was worth a try changing) so ive changed today to sanatogen Mum to be!
