Waiting to try, and cycle a mess from the pill

Bobo that's exactly what I was like, carrying other stuff around that I didn't need to hide the box haha!!
Hope your nausea turns out to be a positive sign. Remind me when you are testing?

Shan I can't believe how relaxed you are about testing, I've found it so hard to wait!

Cookie, first fingers crossed you get your peaks soon, keep testing and let us know.

Sunny how many DPO are you? I'm the same I don't really get much in the way of AF Symptoms now.

Got some more browish CM today and just been to the loo and got bright red blood, so this is probably AF . Will see what happens in the morning but I think I'm out. Gutted! If that's the case my lutenal phase has been the shortest ever, only 9 days.

Thanks all, just catching up. First do share the complete wee stick collection if it's driving you crazy. The variation in v subtle shades of pink is enough to make anyone's eyes fall out if stared at long enough, but maybe a second or third or fourth opinion on here might stave off the crazy! Fx the gp is helpful too.

Cookie at this point I'll be almost as excited to see AF as I would a bfp ok that might be an exaggeration. Just mightily fed up of the limbo and apparently rubbish at being patient!

Sunny that post is so funny "it felt odd going for a wee in the toilet and not a pot" so glad it's not just me that's obsessed!!! I even snuck OPKs and my pot into work today as a work shifts so it would be too late by the time I got home! Xx

Wow eod first! Good work! I really enjoy dtd and think I have a healthyish sex drive but haven't got it in me to dtd eod! We average about 2-3 times a week but just as and when we fancy, so sometimes a few days in a row and then nothing for 3-4 days. :( Might have to up our game tho if it doesn't happen soon, we said we would give it 6 months of just seeing what happens (opks and temps weren't supposed to happen but I'm obsessed now!)!and if not by 6 months we will try properly ie timing dtd etc... Would be easier if we had sensible cycles and knew when OV would happen.

Yvonne I think I did something like 32 days of opks in a row a couple of months ago before a positive... By the end of the cycle it let odd going for a wee in the toilet and not a pot... Felt like a wasted wee if I wasn't dipping a stick in it! Haha.

I had a very definite surge last time (see photo 2 pages back). But looking back, I had 2 full days of them looking similar to what I have got now in the build up to the surge so maybe this is just what I get just before my surge!

I shall try to be patient!

Maybe the tests aren't accurate enough tho if they are the cheapie ones from the Internet? Only thinking this due to how unreliable choc said cheapie the pregnancy test was?

I know they can't do much until you have been trying for a year but just bloods might reassure you that everything is ok!?
Definitely ask advice from the work colleagues I'm sure they will be happy to help xx

I am going to be cheeky and ask advice from a colleague tomorrow (nurse who does fertility assessments)

yvonne I don2 think I could miss it with how often I am testing!

Not sure there will be much gp can do at the moment other than bloods at the moment.

They are definitely driving my crazy after just six days it's so hard to not become obsessed with them!!! I have heard of people never getting a positive and still getting pregnant so try not to stress especially if you have other signs such as EWCM

Hope your GP is supportive xx

No longer convinced they are getting darker after lining them up. Arghhhh think I am going crazy! Will just keep dtd eod. Got gp telephone appointment on wednesday.

Cd29 :)

Yeah could be Shan. Mine varies from one month to the next, sometimes it's can be pretty painful, like really sharp pains in one side at a time deep into my lower pelvis/inside of hip (but often both sides in one day so not always just one ovary). Nothing like period pains. I quite often get niggles after OV right up to period. Nothing for 1st week or two of cycle so definitely cycle related. BUT I also got a lot of it in my 1st 98 day cycle that I kept thinking was ovulation and obviously wasn't, it seems like my ovaries just hurt as they are gearing up. What cycle day are you now? X

Good luck to everyone getting ready to test keeping everything crossed for you!

Hope you get your surge soon First maybe the OPKs aren't picking it up if you have EWCM it sounds like you are ovulating?

I'm on CD 22 not positive OPK or EWCM it was CD 26 last cycle so hopefully will be this cycle too xx

Sunny
Is dat what my pain was ov pain? I got it around the time I should of ov looking at my app and having no period pains atal ?

Sounds closer first! I wanna see your wee sticks! Haha, never thought I would be saying that!

Where are you at in cycle cookie? Fingers crossed for your surge soon too.

No no signs of anything. Few pelvic twinges but I always get those after OV anyway. I don't really get any signs of AF since coming off pill.. It just arrives all of a sudden with mahusive pain. So just hoping it doesn't arrive really. Will keep an eye out for anything different though Xx

update - still no LH surge but the opk appeared to be a little bit darker today and I def. had ewcm last night. i will keep testing and show you a photo of my millions of opks lined up soon!

Welcome plane, it's a friendly bunch we have in here! Hope your cycles settle soon. The waiting game for AF can almost be as difficult and frustrating as the tww! Ooh I'm so excited about the upcoming tests! Be sure to come straight on here and let us know the outcome. Had a wee giggle at the running into boots comment! I ordered my FRER from Amazon as I just know (knowing my luck) I'd bump into someone from work or a family friend as I wait in the queue! Keeping everything crossed for you new girl, Bobo and Shan! Have you felt any twinges or anything yet sunny?

My OPK looked ever so slightly darker than previous days. Frightened to use my CB ones now as I've wasted so many on a negative result! Might have another go tomorrow morning xx

Bobo AF is due today? And il test next week when I get a chance to go into town to get one

Hi plane, welcome to the madness! Your 1st cycle is similar to mine, mine was 98 days. It has got closer since you will be pleased to know.

I'm looking forward to the flurry of tests being done in the next few days xx

Haha Newgirl I've had to do that - looking really shifty in Boots trying to get in and out as quick as possible

Shan are you going to use frer tomorrow or wait until after af is due?

I've had a few waves of nausea today but they come and go really quickly so not sure that's the right kind of nausea if there can ever be a right kind of feeling sick also crazy loads of cm (sorry if you're eating dinner

Welcome Plane!

Welcome plane :)

Just had to stealth buy my FRER in case I bumped into anyone from work !!

Welcome plane you are in the right place!

Very late to this thread's party but hoping you don't mind me crashing in! It's been really encouraging reading everyone's stories, definitely helps when you feel like your body is actively out to get you to know that you're not alone, and so lovely to read about the crop of bfps that have popped up too!

So this is me: came off Cileste in the middle of August and had a normal withdrawal bleed, then nothing for 97 days. Started ttc after Christmas but am currently on day 64 of cycle and no sign of AF appearing. Using Ovia who appears thoroughly confused and keeps flailing from 'you're obv upduffed' to 'I don't even think you've ovulated' so am starting opks as soon as they arrive from Amazon.

Sorry for the mini essay, but hello all!!

So ewcm appeared last night so dtd. No surge yet though!
