Anyone help from my prev post??

RedBunny · 24/06/2014 18:37

Anyway today was ovulation day for me, well it's the day I ovulated on last month and fertility friend says so, clearblue opk said so, and I felt as though I ovulated, so assuming I can trust all these things (only a little paranoid huh) I should be able to get a BFP if I'm going to in 12 days time....!! I need someone else to be testing at around then too. Newbie how's your husband??? Do you think you'll be testing around then?! Sarah do you know when you ovulate?

RedBunny · 24/06/2014 18:33

Sarah surely you could just say you are staying sober because you really want to remember those days?! I was actually pregnant when I got married but wouldn't have been drinking anyway for that reason. Make sure you just have a champagne looking drink for dinner? I had some Schloer I think and pretended that was just fizzy wine or something once at a dinner when I was pregnant last time.

RedBunny · 24/06/2014 18:26

Katybear I'm sorry I don't know! I guess maybe if you're not too keen on going to the doctor maybe make an appointment with a nurse? Just to talk things through? At my surgery that's always ok and they are very helpful, just this was years ago so I only vaguely remember but I came off the pill briefly for a little while and I didn't have a period/ only had spotting for almost three months!! I think it depends which pill it was and how it affected you. When i conceived my daughter I had been on a different pill that time, came off it and went straight to a 24 day cycle.

Katybear123 · 24/06/2014 18:19

Ah v jealous ladies as you all seem to be returning to normal. I'm on day 44 and still no af, poas fri so v doubtful I'm preg. At what point do u think I go and see the doc?

1moretime · 24/06/2014 15:16

Hi everyone. Good luck to everyone waiting to poas & best of luck to those getting ready to dtd!!
Hope this next cycle is the one for you.

I am really confused (doesnt take much these days homest).
Ok so started temping mid cycle last month to see if i do infact ov as i have pcos & opks always show a line throughout my cycle.

So fertility friend showed that i had ov on cd28 & i had ahigh spike in temp following ov which lasted to 15dpo....so excited...then tepms started to drop & AF arrived. I bled for 3 days light/medium flow, and started a new cycle so i am now on cd6 of my new cycle.

I am on a forum called verity also along with ladies who have pcos too, and they have been watching my chart &a few have suggested re testing as my temps are still above the cover line.
As im new to this i dont really understand it all & have no other chart to compare it with to see if this is normal for me after af or not.
Anyone any ideas or experienced this?
Im either cd6 of a new cycle or 22dpo from last one. Xx

Sarahg1 · 24/06/2014 14:06

ooh pinpan lady and redbunny I'm due around the 10th so I'll join the POAS queue. Mixed feelings about this month... getting married on the 18th with the reception on 26th so a BFP would mean I'd be sober on the big days which I really don't mind at all because a BFP would make the day so magical... but it would be so hard to hide because I do love a vino or 5! Hoping that sod's law kicks in and this is our month.

blank - so excited for you!

Good luck to everyone, fingers crossed for lots of good news for you all this month!!

blankfornames · 24/06/2014 12:03

Thanks CatRen. Best of luck with this cycle!

CatRen27 · 24/06/2014 11:34

Af finally arrived! Looking forward to getting down to business now that I'm confident my bits are all in working order. Good luck blank it must be so exciting!!

blankfornames · 24/06/2014 09:33

Thanks lady, I'm currently at 5.5 and am scheduled for an early scan this day fortnight so excited and scared all rolled into one!! I miscarried in April on week 6 so once I'm over that, I'll be happier!

Really hope it all works out. This waiting game is no joke!!

ladyflower23 · 24/06/2014 09:27

That's it, I've finally lost the plot. My breakfast tasted weird this morning, and I am now wondering if I am somehow pregnant despite having just finished my period and not having had sex since then. I need to just accept that the milk was on the turn as the more likely explanation! It's going to be a long month...

CatRen27 · 24/06/2014 09:23

I've given up trying to work out what's going on!

ladyflower23 · 24/06/2014 08:45

Ah nice to hear from you Blanks Smile How's it all going?
Pinpan he he you're catching me up! I always liked longer cycles till TTC now they suck! Yes I am on for POAS Big Stylee on the 18th. We will keep each other strong till then and away from the sticks!

blankfornames · 24/06/2014 08:32

Morning everyone. I'm still lurking in the background to hear of more bfps!! Hope this is your month!

Get busy....!!

RedBunny · 24/06/2014 00:05

I am going to test on the 6th July. If I can hold out til then. Shall see how it goes.....!

pinpan · 23/06/2014 23:52

Short cycles for the win - my app says I'm on CD4 and my fertile window opens in 4 days time! The other app says it's in 2 days time. Shock Ahem, not that I'm really trying this month. But we should have not too dissimilar 2ww times this time ladyflower. Anyone want to join me for a potential pee party on 18th July?

Winnie, maybe you're up-duffed already. Grin

ladyflower23 · 23/06/2014 22:41

Evening All. Boring schmoring only CD9 and don't usually ov till somewhere around CD20 so got ages to go yet!! Have ordered my OPK cheapies, so waiting for them to arrive. Have also started drinking pink grapefruit juice as of today to make my CM more hospitable to DH's spermers. Have ordered him some vitamins to start taking as well. Think the pill is finally getting out of my system as my libido is returning and my hair is falling out. Never taking pill again, was happy on it for years, but gone to crap since stopped taking it this time. Feel it has screwed my body up good and proper. Gonna go on the non hormone coil after the next bambino (which is defo going to get conceived this month Grin only positive thinking from now on!)

RedBunny · 23/06/2014 22:25

Winnie I conceived my second cycle after coming off the pill. And I'd been on the pill (albeit different ones at times) for like 9 years... So hopefully you will settle down soon! I think it's not terribly common to conceive your first cycle after stopping the pill.

RedBunny · 23/06/2014 22:23

Newbie I hope your husband is ok too! I used those opks this month. You have to use first morning urine because it starts off as just measuring your levels I believe, and you do it every morning so it can pick up when your estrogen starts rising. That's what the flashing smiley face means. After you've got that you can test later in the day to detect your LH surge. Which I did because my surge is always very short and I know I can only detect it with opks for one afternoon.

winnie1981 · 23/06/2014 21:42

Hope your hubby is ok newbie and good luck with dtd!

Im on cd 31 today but still no af, I really don't think my cycle is gonna be regular this month as its the first month ttc after coming off the pill. Will just have to wait and see if af arrives soon. I don't have any hpt either so I cant even poas yet!

newbie6 · 23/06/2014 21:22

Hi all!

Okay, so those of you using the dual hormone CB OPK's, it says on instructions to use first urine of the day but I thought I read somewhere you should use afternoon pee so am now confused? Granted, no idea if I can do DTD given hubby just out of hospital after back operation, praying he won't be as sore as he is right now so we can try this month! Hope everyone else is doing okay x

CatRen27 · 23/06/2014 20:25

I've given up trying to work out what's going on!

Katybear123 · 23/06/2014 19:33

It's pants isn't it, though I feel af might b on way I'm tired getting slight cramps and few spots :-(

CatRen27 · 23/06/2014 19:19

That's cd 43 - snap katy!
