Waiting to try, and cycle a mess from the pill

bug Internet cheapie ovulation prediction kit (cheap sticks to pee on obsessively!!!!)

Hi everyone!!!
I am currently waiting in JFK airport ready to come home from the best week ever!
I have lots of catching up to do!!!
How is everyone and where is everyone at now? I'm in my 2ww but don't expect much as only dtd twice on holiday.. We were both so tired after all the walking I just kept falling asleep haha!
Hope everyone had a great Christmas and a happy new year! Xxxxx

At the risk of asking a silly question what is an IC OPK? X

Hi everyone - big happy new year to you all! I have family coming over soon but wanted to ask you all a quick question. Feeling very deflated that my CB digi OPKs have been negative every morning (for the past 5 days). However, been using my IC OPKs in the afternoon and they have been getting progressively darker. I have attached a photo of today's one (though I am aware this is obviously still not a positive yet). Why would my ICs be detecting a slight LH surge but the CB is coming back negative? Feeling very confused by it all! Googling has led me to believe that perhaps I should be using the CB ones mid afternoon too, even though it suggests using them with fmu! Help!! Been dtd lots over the hols and (even tho it's been fun ) would be gutted if it's not given me the slightest possibility of a Bfp xx

I'm the totally opposite I've only had one period since stopping the pill in Sept!!!! X

I'm been drove mad thinking it was implantation bleeding all happy I didn't know what going on tbh but hope to God it is normal I haven't stopped bleeding since I came off it so hopefully I get no period next Month an am pregnant lol even my app on my phone is fried over stopping and starting so hope to God it's normal
Hope you be back to normal soon

Shankate sorry for the BFN but fingers crossed your cycles are back to normal it's such a pain not knowing what's going on after the pill isn't it I stopped in Sept and my cycles are still a mess x

Hey girls just took a test BFN :( but I think I got my monthly period finally as I'm in lots of pain with cramps and it's proper blood :) hopefully I'm back to normal and can TTC when finished

I also think iv a kidney infection cus I can't stop going toilet have had bad headache past few days stomach is sick in the mornings sore boobs also I don't know when to test? I think when I get my period properly maybe a week or 2 after that or should I take one asap

Flamingo - hopefully u get AF soon so u can start a new cycle , and hopefully they start to shorten , it's hard not to get impatient when u know ul b trying for a baby soon wishing u Good luck for 2016 X
Shankate- think the spotting will just b ur body adjusting to not having hormones put into ur system everyday X
Altho back pain was an early pregnancy symptom for me , have u tested yet ? X
I hated the aftermath of the pill too found it a bit of a nightmare tbh xx

Hi women,
Getting really frustrated now I stopped the pill the 3rd of December and the next day I got spotting iv had brown discharge spotting on and off since I came off the pill it stopped completely for 5 days and is now back again it's just very light brown discharge I'm not sure I got a period yet I was wondering what is going on? Is it just my body getting use to no pill or what ? Getting bad headache last few days and cramping?

Hello everyone!!
Sorry I've missed out on a lot of posts in the last week or so - SophieD, HUGE congratulations!!!! Awesome end to 2015, and hopefully a bit of your luck rubs off on us for BFPs in 2016 .
How is everyone?
I've had a busy couple of weeks which is good because I am trying not to think about the fact that the witch has yet to visit me, since I stopped taking the pill last month. I am currently CD55 and know my periods will be erratic since coming off the pill on 6th Nov and thinking about it isn't going to change that I have to keep reminding myself that I am also not TTC until March!! Hubby and I both getting broody though! My pmt type symptoms which started after I finished taking the pill have stopped now, THANK GOD - the cramps were pretty bad but gone now and I'm not feeling overly emotional or getting mood swings which is definitely progress compared to last month, so the hormones are settling! Rest assured I will let you all know when AF comes to visit!!
Love hearing how everyone is getting on. Happy new year everyone, best of luck for all those ttc in 2016 xx

Yay Sophie!!! Congradulations lovely New Years surprise !! No wine for u lol xxx

Wow amazing news Sophie! Huge congratulations xxx hope this brings us all some baby luck! Xx

Woo congratulations!! Xx

Congratulations

Double confirmation...

Hi soph! I think it's there.. Always easier to see in real life than picture but I can definitely see something. Have you tested again since. An early response should give you a clear line! Fingers crossed.

Don't worry too much gx, pain in early pregnancy is really common. Usually caused by the growing uterus pulling on the round ligaments. If it's severe or one sided or bleeding contact gp.

Hi tinyemmy. Welcome! You are in the right place for crazy post pill cycles. Makes the waiting go a bit quicker! Fingers crossed it happens quickly for you!

Cookie I found ovia only really useful for me to keep a track of symptoms, temps etc. absolutely no good at predicting OV or period etc unless you have perfectly regular cycles, OV on the same cycle day each month, regular luteal phase etc. it's just guessing based on your average. Keep doing the opks and checking my cm! :)

Welcome 8a8y. Ooo, do a test and let us know, could have been implantation bleeding. Or if I'm the voice of reason could also just be that our crazy bodies sometimes do weird things! Test is the only way to know.

Shankate are you still spotting?

Sorry for af new girl. Onwards and upwards!

FF gave me new cross hairs this morning so looks like I did OV 3 days ago. Doesn't look like much of a pattern to me as temps been so rocky. Just hope the temps stay up. And now have period pain as well as pelvic pain. Feels like af is coming but she should be about a week or more away still. Xx

Ermmm... can you see a line too?! Eeeeep!

Hey all sorry the holidays have bn so busy !
Hope u are all doing well , looking forward to seeing how u guys get on in the run up to POAS and BFP X
Sunny - was the faint line on a Preg test , fx for u I could see a line ! X

Cookie - good luck for ur coming fertile window !!! Lucky fx for u !! X

Sophied- think that's a good sign , was my nipples that hurt b4 BFP but with my first it was the sides of boobs that wer sore ( like underarms ) wishing u all the best xx
Shankate- hope the spotting is a good sign X keep an eye out for other symptoms , how long til u can test ? X

Iv bn feeling ok lately looking forward to scan next wed , keep having weird pains like ( cervix region pains ! Lol) Duno wat that's about will nd to speak to midwife X
Will try to keep up to date , been super busy xxx

Hi ladies, this is my first ever post! I took my last cerazette pill 14 days ago. I came off it before and it took 100 days to get a withdrawal bleed and then 39 days until something more resembling AF and then I must have ovulated 6 weeks later as I found out I was pregnant some time afterwards! I don't mind too much if I get the same thing but I think it was a bit of a fluke. Anyway it will be nice to have some company whilst waiting for AF. Ive downloaded a few apps but it's all a bit of a waiting game at the moment. Good luck all!

Sorry to hear about AF newgirl. Hope you have a nice few days away tho and have some drinks to compensate for the witch arriving! I felt hopeful my first cycle too and felt so disappointed when AF arrived. Sunny, your OPKs are great. What CD are you on? Have you had any symptoms? Shankate, I think spotting is quite normal post pill; has is been going on a while? Sophie this sounds like a great sign!! Fingers crossed for you and keep us updated. Hi 8a8, welcome!! What CD are you on?? You should def do test if you're far enough on for the results to be accurate. OPKs can pick up this hormone if preg.

GX, how are you? Won't be long until your scan now! Flamingo; what cd are you on? Chapman, I hope you're enjoying nyc!!

Im on cd18 and my ovia says my fertile window should be from tomorrow onwards. Not have any CM and OPKs have all been negative so far. Been using my cheapy ones but used a CB digital on Sunday- completely negative! It's a bit deflating. Hopefully I get some flashing smiley faces within the next few days and static smiley soon! Determined to give it my all this month! Been using preseed too but don't think DH is too keen xx

Hi All, came off the pill in April, took about 8-10week for my cycle to settle. This cycle have had a very very short period, (think it was old blood) cd12 positive ovulation test, but I've read a lot that ovulation test can also show positive when pregnant?? Will take a pregnancy test but just wondering if anyone has had similar experiences??

The last couple of days, my boobs have been so sore. Not noticed them feeling like this in the last seven months post-Pill. Am really aware of them if that makes sense? More so than you normally would be. They hurt across the top and sides to touch and am struggling to get comfortable. Not wanting to get my hopes up mind you. Not sure when to test. Last cycle was 51 days. Currently on day 34 of this cycle. Had quite a strong OPK about 10 days ago and EWCM, so I guess I'll have to test this weekend and see if the sore boobs are an early pregnancy sign?!

Hey girls I'm spotting once again? Is this normal
