Anyone else about to take the plunge and stop bc pills?

Well hoping ive got the willpower to wait until AF due on the 30th but what's the betting I cave in before that lol !!

Test!

Could maybe implanted kate think can happen 6-12dpo so you never know! When will u teat?

Hiya wanttobe I ovulated on cd 16 too this month and also started POAS at cd 7 coz I didn't wanna miss it lol ... I'm 6dpo today and apart from having a stomach ache last night that felt like I'd eaten a chicken that had been down the back of a radiator for 6 months ive not had any symptoms to spot really.. Oh apart from a small increase in cm today so I was wondering and secretly hoping last nights episode was some sort of implantation taking place although I'm pretty sure it's a tad too early for that

Hi girls just checking in! Cd6 here nothing exciting. No af now... Just waiting to ovulate! Lat month was cd16 going to start poaopk tomorrow :D good luck testing lovebugs!

Good luck for your test at the weekend lovebugs keep us posted

As expected I had a negative test yesterday (a week after ovulating) and have vowed not to test again until next weekend when I'm due AF as read that hormones aren't even released until implantation from about day 8 after ovulation! I have noticed sore boobs, bloated, pain in right side and emotional/tired but this could be getting me ready for AF so the waiting continues!

Hi justyouwait, fx for us that are in the TWW for BFPs and fx for those waiting for AF it ovulation! Lots of waiting around with this TTC but we've all got to stay hopeful we'll join you soon!

Hi just you thanks so much for the well wishes !! Hoping that some of will have some news to share soon as we've definenatly been busy bunnies !!

Hello everyone! Just wanted to pop by and let you all know I am wishing you lots of luck that this month will be the one for some of you! Sounds like you have all been very busy! Hoping to see you all move across and join us on the other board very soon...xx

Thanks wanttobe*! Fx for you now you have had a proper AF. I'm due AF or BFP on 26th if I have a 28 day cycle but as this is my first cycle I'm really not sure what to expect. This TWW definitely feels like it drags-and I've a week to go!

Hi wanttobe lovely to hear from you ... I know what you mean about the first AF my first was horrendous :( ... Thanks for the advice about the pregnancy tests my next AF is due on the 30th oct so maybe I will test on the 28th or something like that ....Good luck for you this cycle fx !!! Xx

That should say luteal phase!!

Hello all! Now on cycle 2... First proper af arrives yesterday, forgot how horrible they are!

lovebugs and kate the pregnancy tests although on packet say days before af, it is more accurate to count days after ov as very one has different length literal phases. Ideal is 14 days fter ov ( hence the tww) but you could get a result as early as 10dpo.

Bfp/af now due 14 nov and ov due 1 November so more waiting for me!

Just checking in and sending lots of luck to you all :)

Yes will hold out until then as I'm so impatient but I've read that it's only about 50% accurate 4 days before you miss your period...will doubt a negative result until I either get a positive one or my period comes the following week! Just heard a friend is pregnant with her third and though super happy for her I really wanted it to be me to be the next one to announce! Fx for a BFP soon.

So you might test on Sunday lovebugs please please please keep me posted as I'm xing everything for you .. Except legs of course !

How exiting !!! Everything crossed for both of us this month

Well the early tests say about 5 days before AF but I've read lots of posts on here and other website about positive results earlier than that so I'm thinking of testing on 19th which is a week before my AF is due if I have a 28 day cycle going forward...if it says negative then I'll allow myself a couple of drinks and retest the following Sunday unless AF arrives!

Ohhhh that's a good question lol ... I think my AF will be due 30th oct and I would like to say that I will happily wait until AF is due but I think we both know that's not true lol when would be a good time to test and stand a chance of getting a BFP do you think ?

When are you going to test Kate? Will you wait until your period or do an early one? Think I'll do an early one on Sunday morning as we are due to have a few drinks that day but will do another when period due the week after.

Thanks lovebugs :) I inntend to enjoy tonight and the next 2 nights and we'll see what that brings us !! Nice to know your getting lots of symptoms to spot ! Let's hope we get our BFP 's this month xx

Super news! I did a bit of reading on the net about the test you are using and it's good that it detects the increase days before the surge. Just enjoy today and then we are both in the tww club which is a weird feeling as i don't want to drink and keep symptom spotting (feeling sick first thing when I get up, bloated tummy, boobs feel bigger)!! Fx for us both for BFPs this month xx

Woohooo finally got my smiley face !!! Time to hump it out lol x

Mine are the same as yours lovebugs except they measure your oestrogen levels as well so you get flashing smiles when your oestrogen levels rise in preparation for ov and then is supposed to turn to a solid smile once it's picked up your lh surge.i did an ic for my test this afternoon and there was a second line there which I don't normally get so hopefully I'm gearing up to ov and that its just a little later than I would have expected lol

Sorry Kate I'm not sure what the flashing smiley faces mean and why it hasn't given you a definite day...I think you are doing the right thing DTD every other day around this time. It's been hard for us to get use to DTD for a purpose rather than just pleasure and it does change things when this is on our minds so much.keep thinking positive, testing and checking EWCM-that's all we can do xx
