Waiting to try, and cycle a mess from the pill

I buy cheap ones from amazon. I got 100 as my cycles are all over the place. They are positive when you have your LH surge just before ovulation.

First go?
These opks are just like pregnancy test you pee and all on them and it will tell u if u ovulate or not and you pee on them everyday and when you buy them do they have a months worth in it or what's the story?

Sorry you actually can track ur temp aswel as ur weight on this app if you click across there's symptoms moods and other in other there's temp and all its brillant app well worth the download

I'm not tracking temp. Just opks. Getting really bored of peeing into a pot but don't want to miss ovulation!

Got an almost positive on cd9. No ewcm though. ..

Cookie
I use an app called p tracker and find it brillant as you can click across on each date and there's a whole section on symptoms and ya can tell it when u had sex and it will tell you when u ovulate and when ur due ur AF and you can add notes to each date so suppose you could type in ur temp

Ps; meant to ask, what apps do you girls use to track temp? Xx

Wow, it's busy in here! Welcome Alice & chocoaholic. Alice, it can be a hard journey when ttc. Hope you're feeling a bit more positive & looking ahead to your next cycle. We're all in a similar boat here so feel free to vent/shout/have a moan in here with us! Chocoholic, I hope you get some positive answers soon. Are your tests still showing as negative yet no bleeding after the initial positives?

New girl, keeping everything crossed for you! You're definitely in with a great chance if you dtd before ov! Keep us updated with any symptoms you have. So is it next weds you're due to test?

First, hope you're ov comes soon! I totally know what you're going through with the long cycles, it's so frustrating isn't it?

Hope everyone else is doing good! I've been feeling a bit 'meh' the past hour or so. My close friend has just announced she is pregnant with her 2nd baby. I'm obviously overjoyed but can't help feeling envious! Oh well, hopefully it'll be my turn soon enough xx

CM sometimes watery sometimes clumpy. So not really no!!!!

Newgirl-
I'm not using OPK using an app? And I'm getting really really warm at night can't settle to sleep without the window open with no covers on me? My temp is normal doh? See he has an ear ache and the past few hours we were giving it another go but thankfully he did twice 😅 I'm kinda looking at my discharge and it's now thick and creamy more than usual?

Shan sore boobs is a good sign, have you been using OPK's to confirm ovulation? Did you say your temp was up or down?
Have another go at DTD tonight, obviously your chances will be significantly lessened if your OH didn't ejaculate. Fingers crossed for you.

First oh no, any symptoms yet? Try to keep positive hun

Cd25 and no ovulation!!!!! Going to be another long cycle. Really peed off about it this evening.

New girl I wish you best of luck 😊
Have had lower stiff back pain the last few days and tender breast? Also feeling very emotional like I want to cry and am having the weirdest dreams ? Cramps have calmed down and getting a creamy discharge more then usual ? My temp was but TTC my boyfriend hasn't got the energy to ejaculate cus he's sick right now so hope my chances arnt low now cus I will crack if I get another BFN as my sister in law had her 1st scan up on Facebook and iv never been as jealous and upset :(

So of course I've been frantically googling odds of conceiving when you have sex the day before and not the day of ovulation...I found this which I thought was helpful and reassuring, there is only 2% in it between day before and day of!

Welcome Alice, sorry to hear AF is on her way, I know how you feel, last month was my first month trying and first bfn, I think it's a shock when we expect to spring back and conceive straight away.

Chocoholic welcome to you too, your journey sounds stressful. I really hope you get some answers soon.

Sunny I didn't bother doing any more OPK's after I got my static as I never usually get faint lines or fade in and out. Just been keeping an eye on my symptoms. Glad your temps have settled down, good sign that you're getting some EWCM DTD regularly in case Ov makes an appearance out of the blue!

Yvonne I'm the same, will have a few drinks for now but if I've not got anywhere in 6 months or so then I will give it the boot.

So Ov was confirmed yesterday with my temp shift this morning! Very annoyingly couldn't DTD last night as DH had been out drinking and it would have been a futile exercise if you catch my drift!! Hopefully yesterday's baby dancing will have been close enough. He was annoyed with himself when he realised he's messed up our chances (which I was too!!) and we had a cousin announce that she's pregnant yesterday, what's worse we're pretty sure it's and accidental pregnancy !! DH was more frustrated by this than me!
Of course I don't want him to blame himself if we get a bfn and I won't let him do that, but it was a bit of a reality check. So the long wait begins, 1DPO....at least 9 to go before I can test, keep everything crossed for me !

Hi Alice! X

Its so hard not to be disappointed Alice if AF does arrive just look at it as a fresh cycle to TTC again and also it's a good sign your periods are getting back to normal after the pill! Are you going to use anything to help track OV such as temping or OPKs? X

Hi I hope you don't mind me joining your thread! We have been ttc since I took my last pill on Dec 13th. Had a withdrawal bleed the following week but nothing since. Been feeling sick and my boobs are big and sore but no signs of period so I took a test this morning but it was negative. Starting to get slight cramps this evening and I noticed some faint brown spotting so I think my period will be here soon and the other symptoms were just to do with that instead. I know it's early days but can't help feeling disappointed! Sorry, just wanted to vent and I don't want to keep going on to my husband! Thank you for any advice and support.

Well it's not watery anymore it's more normal like thick creamy ?

I am waiting to see the midwife on 28th if I haven't bled before then, we shall see I guess!

Chocoholic. If the three tests were all in the time frame and with colour they were positive! I had three Evaps last month, the lines appeared after the 10 min time frame but did have colour, and got stronger as they dried (on different brands) but I definitely wasn't pregnant! False positives are very rare (or scientifically impossible, but do sometimes happen if test faulty or like me you dig them out of the bin, lol... Don't do that!).

I would ignore that article if I were you. Occasionally Some people are pregnant but don't ever put out enough hormone in their urine to get a positive test, but it should always show up in blood test. But in my experience most people with concealed pregnancies are in denial for one reason or another. Your GP doesn't sound particularly helpful, although they are right in that they can't do anything to change the outcome.

There are three possibilities, you were pregnant and sadly had a chemical pregnancy, in which case you should bleed when the hormone levels drop.

You are pregnant but not putting out enough hormone to show up, but it seems that you did put out enough at one point to get a positive.

You are not pregnant and the tests were faulty, in which case it can take months for 1st period to return after stopping pill.

Sorry you are going through the confusing and upsetting experience of not knowing. If your midwife doesn't do the blood test I would see a different GP and specifically ask for hcg blood test. X

Sorry opk not ppl... Bloody autocorrect! Someone needs to tell iPhones about the language of ttc!! 😂

Hi sunny

I had 3 faint positives (all with colour) before the 27th, one tesco, two superdrug, then the one with the faint but strongest positive was on 27th and superdrug

Since then I've used superdrug, cheapies and FRER all negative...

My doctor is supremely unconcerned and said that I should have 'protected' sex for 2 weeks then test again and we'll get an answer. Kind of defeats the object when TTC

However the midwife is going to see me if I haven't bled and do her own blood test I think...

It's just really frustrating!! I was also sent this article from a friend which didn't help!
www.closeronline.co.uk/2015/05/cryptic-pregnancy-what-it-is-and-why-it-happens

newgirl like you say your egg might not have popped yet, think it can take up to 48 hours after positive ppl. Have you done an ppl today? Sometimes I get a couple of days of positive before it starts to fade again.

Cookie I think I might try b6 next month, my luteal phase has only been 9-10 days too. Let me know how you get on. I'm still drinking too... If it's going to take me a year to get pregnant it could be a long year without wine! Haha.

Welcome chocoholic. Oh how confusing for you. What tests are you using? Have you been to see GP? They could do a couple of hcg blood tests a few days apart to see if your hcg is going up.

shankate are you temping or doing opks? Otherwise you might not have OVd yet. You don't always ovulate day 14 when you've stopped the pill. If you've got pain and watery discharge sounds like you are still building up to ovulation. I didn't ovulate until cycle day 88 my 1st month off pill!

No sign of OV over here. A bit of ewcm today, but had that every month from about cycle day 12 and still haven't OVd for weeks after so not holding my breath! Opks very negative!! Last few months all have had 2nd fainter lines but almost nothing on these and temps a bit more stable which I hope is a sign of hormones being more stable.

Xx

Yes my doctor asked me to off of it and I felol really fast but we weren't trying tbh. Although this time on zeletta (baring in mind it's basically the same pill) I haven't had a bleed since Dec 12th. Not even a withdrawal! Really odd!

Keep positive xx

Are you serious? I tested twice in the last month and still BFN :( hoping now since I got my AF that next time I test I will get my BFP
