Well i guess i'm at the other end of the scale m33r!

Writerwannabe83 · 27/08/2013 08:41

I'm sorry VJ - we all know how much you wanted it. Go easy on yourself, remind yourself that it can take some time to conceive after being on the Pill and that just because it didn't happen this month it doesn't mean you did anything wrong x x

m33r · 27/08/2013 08:39

Great plan Notta. Remember you're not alone! X

JellyBeanDavey · 27/08/2013 08:39

Vjones - sorry she got you :( it may happen next cycle. Do everything the same next month (and don't stress).

This might be your first normal period which is a good starting point.

Bfn for me this morning. Not even a evap line to keep me happy lol

VJONES1985 · 27/08/2013 08:38

Thank you everyone for your kind advice. Gonna have a cry and move onwards :)

Just sticking my oar in to say I was on depo about five years ago and after about a year on it, it took me 18 months to get AF back. I didn't have any periods throughout my time on depo. Most recently I was on the implant and loved it, still had periods but felt really confident that I wouldn't fall pregnant (oh the irony!) and when I had it out AF came back perfectly normally! I knew I wanted to TTC in August/September 2013 so I had it out in January 2012 to prepare my body just in case it took a long time to get back to normal! Having never been on the pill for any great length of time I can't tell you how long it took me to get back to normal afterwards, but I think it's fair to allow your body a couple of months at least to settle down.

ArmyLovin · 27/08/2013 08:35

That sounds like I haven't ha af since but I have.. God my heads all over the place this morning! I was just trying to say count this next cycle as a full cycle if you get me.

m33r · 27/08/2013 08:34

Indeed Notta! Sorry if you've told me that before ; lose track of names sometimes. You're doing great to keep positive. An inspiration to me moaning about cycle 9 and 38 day cycles! :-)

ArmyLovin · 27/08/2013 08:34

Congrats madasabox!
Vjones I wouldn't feel too downhearted Thanks(I know that's hard) but it's only your first cycle off of pill and GP told me that I should wait until I had first bleed after pill to start trying, that was 8 months ago lol.

Sparrowlegs248 · 27/08/2013 08:32

M33r i was on the depo jab. Last jab sept 2012......first af june 2013!! A long wait......

m33r · 27/08/2013 08:31

Vjones. I'm gutted for you. Only advice I have is to take a bit of down time, then grab a coffee/wine/choccies and get back on the horse (so-to-speak). ;-)

VJONES1985 · 27/08/2013 08:24

Yes, am pleased it seems to be running semi smoothly. Just feeling sown because we dtd nearly every day all month but it wasn't good enough :(

Writerwannabe83 · 27/08/2013 08:19

Congratulations Madasabox!! Flowers

m33r · 27/08/2013 08:19

Notta. When did you come off the pill?

Sparrowlegs248 · 27/08/2013 08:18

Vjones if its any consolation at all (i know its probably not) at least you have got af back to normal ish really quickly after stopping contraception. I was on the depo jab and it took 7 months before any af turned up!! And i read a thread recently of someone who came of the pill and had also been waiting months.

I had never been so pleased to get af when mine arrived after 7 months.

m33r · 27/08/2013 08:17

Vjones. Not great at deciphering EWCM but like the opks. This was prib just your body evening out and as Notta says, now you can get going for next month much quicker.

Not easy i know but keep upbeat!

Sparrowlegs248 · 27/08/2013 08:14

Ooh congrats madasabox !!!! And also fx for you m33r

If my af comes early i guess it takes away the shall i shan't i? When it comes to testing early.

m33r · 27/08/2013 08:14

Congrats Masada!! Any symptoms to share?

Join the May thread; been reading this morning in my state if insomnia and they seem lovely

VJONES1985 · 27/08/2013 08:13

Nit very light, no. Came off the pill about three weeks ago and think I ovulated because I had ewcm and three days of positive opks.

m33r · 27/08/2013 08:12

Thanks writer. I'm going to try not to test today in case it just another day on my cycle but really getting my hopes up!

Sparrowlegs248 · 27/08/2013 08:12

Did you use opk's to tell when you ov'd? From what i have read they seem to be quite unreliable or difficult to decipher.

I am going to try not to worry too much easier said than done about a very short cycle as i suppose it will take a while to settle down. Are you recently off some sort of contraception?

Trying to find a positive for you VJ - now af is here you get a crack at next month sooner than you would have thought.

Madasabox · 27/08/2013 08:12

bfp here - did the test last week and then a digital again yesterday to make sure. This is DC3!

m33r · 27/08/2013 08:11

Vjones. I think so too... Are you light? How do you know you ov-d? Is the cycle 1 for you and if so, what contraception did you come off?

Writerwannabe83 · 27/08/2013 08:08

I think so, I don't know for sure though.
