Waiting to try, and cycle a mess from the pill

Sophie, hopefully your body is just clearing itself of the pill and trying to regulate back into a normal rhythm (that's what I'm telling myself anyways!). At least you have been cleared on PCOS which is reassuring! Shankate my withdrawal bleed was just like a normal pill period & lasted about 4 days. Hopefully it clears up soon for you so you can TTC xx

Hi ladies,
AF is definitely here- the witch that she is! Feeling disappointed but onwards and upwards. Will just need to have a merry & boozy Christmas to make up for it! At least I know my cycle is getting shorter & perhaps the Agnus Castus did work. 37 days, 55 days and now 33 days. Going to really go for it next month!

GX sorry to hear you're feeling down. My DH is also self employed and working all hours & weekends, I can completely empathise with you. I see more of my cat than I do him does he have some time off over Christmas and new year? We're always here for a wee moan and virtual cuddles hehe!

Chapman, have a you caved in and tested yet? Any symptoms? New girl, that's good that ov sounds like it's approaching! Get DTD!! Wow Sunny, never realised you were a midwife. Your inbox will be full of messages now must be such a lovely (but tough!!) job to do xx

How long does withdrawal bleeding last ? Hopefully it stops soon before Xmas any tips guys on TTC ?

Went to see doc to get blood test results today... LH and FSH levels normal (so it isn't PCOS)... so why 51 day cycles is what I want to know?!?!?!

Xx

Ooh catching up, welcome newbies!
Cookie rubbish that AF may be on her way, hope you enjoyed you glass of wine!!

Sunny and first, your secrets are out now!!

I've been a bit slack with my temping and OPKS the last few days, need to get back on track from tomorrow as think Ov is due next week some time. Started to get some Ov pain but no other symptoms or EWCM yet. Although my sex drive has gone through the roof these past few days - could be a sign (TMI!)
Me and DH were talking about New Years over dinner today and I reminded him that I may be pregnant or waiting to find out if I am and he was like a kid in a sweet shop, very excited, even saying he was going for a run tomorrow night to be in peak condition for trying this coming week!! Bless him.

Chapman, GX, everyone else, how are you doing?
Baby dust to everyone for a good week!

Haha first I think Iv managed to keep it quiet on here so far. But I'm a midwife. Safe to out myself now as questions can be directed at you! :) x

For the inland revenue - tax man. .

Where do you work cnchapmanxx?

Sunny - it was proper sticky defo like school glue the pritt stick you used to get! Il have a look what that means on my ovia app! Otherwise no symptoms at all! That's good news about work roll on xmas!

Cookie - gutted for you was hoping we would be bfp buddies! Let us know if it gets heavier and AF shows up the bitch!

First - haha don't worry about it when I say to people where I work I get the moans and groans haha! fx the next 2week flys for you

Xxx

Welcome new ladies! Hope we're all well. I think hope for imp bleeding is fading fast, spotting has become slightly heavier so it def looks like AF still not quite as heavy as AF yet but not as light as what IB should be. I really do feel gutted! 1st month of TTC and I can now completely empathise with the ladies who go through this month by month.
Chapman, your CM sounds promising! Keeping my fx and sprinkling baby dust on you! Hope you're UTI clears up soon Poin, it's v painful! Sunny, I think I'll join you with that glass of wine tonight. In fact, gimmie the full bottle please!! xx

Ps I am going to try and wait the full 14 days.

Sunny - I'm an obs and gynae doctor. I probably shouldn't admit that on here I'll be bombarded with questions!

Wow lots to catch up on today!

Welcome new peeps! pigeon good idea getting healthy before ttc! Remember to start your folic acid 3 months before ttc. Gives you time to get any tests done if need be before. I'm still awaiting an appointment for genetics testing (family history of severe geneti disorder) got referred end of September, 1st appt in January... These things take time!

Hi kate I would say it's just withdrawel from pill. Although see GP if you are worried.

poin hope you are feeling better! UTIs are the WORST!! Look after yourself

chapman was the discharge sticky and stretchy like thick egg white? Or different discharge? I get confused about the discharge tracking. Ovia says "school glue" what even is that? I seem to either have egg white (but it's not completely clear) or creamy/milky and that's it! Not at the times it always said I should anyway!

first frers can give you positive results from as early as 8dpo! You might be able to test before Xmas but don't be disappointed if it's neg, you might just need to wait a bit longer. What do you do for work?

I'm 6 days into my 10 day stretch at work, and only got called out for 2 hours on call last night so that's a bonus! Going to have a big glass of wine tonight! 4 days to go and then it's my weekend :) xx

First - aw no really is that what you do as a job? Fx you conceive very soon! Xx

Cnchapmanxx I am busy from tomorrow so should fo fast. But spending the last part of it in nights on labour ward. Impossible not to get broody!

cnchapmanxx
Yeah thanks anyways I suppose it's just my body getting use to it as I had no MP in 3 months? X

First - aw such good news hoping this 2ww flys over mine has dragged!

Shankate - I actually have no idea haha! If it's the case where you don't stop bleeding and it goes on for a bit longer id suggest seeing your doctor if not just use your apps and intuition and the opk sticks. Tbh some of the other girls might know more xx

Cnchapmanxx I had positive opk on 9th/10th. So I guess I should wait til xmas day at earliest really....

It changes aswel could be light for a day or 2 and then goes heavy cud stop then be back the next day it's really weird ?

Yeah I got P tracker and using that to say when I TTC and when I have spotting or whatever?

Yeah the first week it was very light was Bearly anything at all? Now it's got heavy since last night I taught it could have been a withdrawal bleed and now I have my MP? I'm confused as a few weeks b4 I stopped I had spotting for a few days?

Shan Kate - sorry post posted before I finished. So are you still on your period now is it heavy or comes and goes? It will probably be your body trying to get back to normal. Have you bought any ovulation kits/strips or got any apps you can use on your phone to track when you will ovulate? X

And you have been bleeding since the 3rd shankate?
