Waiting to try, and cycle a mess from the pill

Oh no sunny I'm sure u will no for sure by tomorrow X
The TWW does makes us obsess and check everything
Also ur temping should help understand what's happening , maybe the bleed will stop and ur temp will go high again tomorrow , still holding out hope for u x

Cookie & GX you guys are cracking me up with you wet feeling comments. 100% know the feeling and totally agree about sharing on here so as not to gross out the DH too much, he'll never want to DTD when the time is right otherwise! I always get what looks like EWCM after DTD which is also confusing! So weird how happy I am sharing all this on here, and how I am not at all bothered by everyone else's sharing! Totally happy to comment on CM etc but wouldn't dream of it with my friends !!
Cookie & Sunny, thanks for the reassurance re the TWW and !! Very interesting re not connected to bloody supply until after implantation, didn't know that and while I still will avoid going completely mad that makes me feel A LOT better, so thanks so much! As you say want to enjoy those special memories. Cookie, I'm sure you can get away a prosecco or two
sunny fx for BFP, like you say it only takes one chance! Xxx

Haha that story is hilarious gx! Iv also been checking incessantly to see if my nipples are sore do not only have a frequently got my hands in my pants but also my bra!

Aw that's good to know Jo. Gives us all hope! Congratulations.

I think that little bit of spotting is turning into period! Boo. X

It does that cookie ! fx for u Hun x will b an exciting week for all those testing ! X

I hate the utter panic when the wet feeling comes! I actually LOL'd there GX reading your ball pit story I think I would have done the same! I'm hoping I have Ov'd already. Would really love to get a BFP next week but don't think we have DTD enough this month. It only takes one chance tho!! Xx

Nice story jo - congratulations , how far on r u ? X

Lol sunny it's true , worst time was when in the ball pit at soft play with OH and DD ! Had to hide in the balls and have a quick check , total disgusting I now but if it had been AF I don't know what I would have done ( probably stayed there until everyone left ) lol xx

I stopped taking a mini pill, had one very light bleed a few weeks after and a month and a half later I found out I was pregnant. Don't assume that no bleeds or irregular bleeds means that you are not ovulating.

Good luck to all of you ttc!

Aw that "wet feeling" is the worst. Even when not ttc that obsessive "have a come on" thing is awful! I never thought I would spend so much of my day with fingers up my foof! Haha x

Cookie , sounds like u mibi ovulated last week when getting dark OPKs - mibi means ur in ur TWW now so BFP or AF will arrive around 14 days after u tested positive for ovulation fx for BFP obv! Lol I had milky cm at end of TWW but I know everyone is different , could be reminents of last night lol xx

Sunny - omg sounds very promising , lmao at ur blood from a scratch comment lol think we r all the same having a good roam about up there! Lol
Sound very promising for implantation ! And slight implantation bleeding , hope AF stays away I'm very excited for u !
Lol my OH gets grossed out ( Iv been very wet down there lately) and sometimes I just shove a hand in my pants to check it isn't blood ! Lol think he thinks I'm a right wierdo much easier to share the gross truths with u guys! Xx

Gx91: I know, wish something really obvious and definite happened so you know for sure AF or pregnant! (Something other people can't see obv) Yeah love a baileys! Yum. Although I'm working Xmas day this year AND on call Christmas Day night until 9am Boxing Day... So no booze for me anyway!
I'm so glad you have stuck around on this thread!

Newgirl: I'm still drinking in the 2 week wait, I wouldn't get trashed but I'd happily have a good few glasses of wine. The baby isn't even connected to your blood supply until after implantation so it's fine. You don't wanna miss out on the festive season and making final memories in your family home if you don't get pregnant that month.

Chapman: are your opks still positive? Mine stayed pos for 2 days. Hope you feel better soon!

Sophie. Have they referred you for scan as well? I think you need bloods and cysts on ovaries to confirm. Have you got any symptoms other than long cycles. I have long cycles too and am suspicious about having pcos.

So... Cramps all day!! Kept thinking AF was starting. Checked cm... (Sorry I know you don't wanna know!) mix of creamy and egg white (haven't had egg white since OV) AND a tiny tiny stringy bit of pink blood in it! Don't know if this is a tiny bit of implantation bleed, or AF coming or Iv just scratched something whilst eagerly probing for cm!! Haha. So crazy as always over here! I KNOW you guys can't tell if it means anything, but I feel better for telling you. Trying not to gross the husband out!

Hi everyone, I've been absent the past few days and seem to have missed loads! Quite stressed/busy at work just now. I'm a teacher and nativity season is upon us! Having to scrape 30 hyper kids from the ceiling at this time of year makes me significantly less broody

How are you feeling GX? I'm glad you aren't suffering from too much from sickness or any other negative preg side effects at the moment. Any sign of AF yet sunny? Loving the uteruscam- this did make me chuckle
New girl I've been thinking the same as you with regards to drinking over Xmas/New year time. My family and friends would know straight away if I said no to a glass of prosecco, ha! Chapman, any sign of ov? Sophie, sending a hug your way. Even if it is pcos, there is so much that can be done and there's loads of pcos & conceiving success stories on here too! Keep smiling!
Well I'm on cd23 and still no signs of AF or any other possible BFP symptoms! I used an opk yest and another faint line (not like my strong ones last weekend). Who knows what is happening! Though I did appear to have some EWCM today, or it could possibly be the aftermath of BD at the weekend. Far TMI, sorry!! Xx

Sophied- hope r results come back ok , hopefully alls ok , how long wer u on the pill ? And how long have u stopped it for ? Xx

I am sad as doc thinks I have PCOS and that's why cycles are getting longer and longer. Said Pill would have been masking it.

Bloods taken - all 5 vials - so will have to wait and see now!

Thanks ladies. I think I'll just play it by ear. My trouble is I have quite a high tolerance for alcohol so I can drink quite a lot without being drunk! Don't want to lull myself into a false sense of security.
I'm sure I'd end up testing before the end of 2 weeks anyway so if I got a BFP then that gives me a clear steer, I'd just have to make it look like I was still drinking, definitely wouldn't want to tell people that early not even family.
How is everyone else doing?xx

afternoon girls! how is everyone today?
fx for you sunny that your temp goes back up tomorrow! :)
new girl i wouldnt worry that much i know some of my friends drank for weeks b4 they knew they were pregnant and there was no harm one of my friends even went to zante! try enjoy urself and hopefully a bit of festive cheer will bring u some joy! x
will keep everyone update re my opks. going to test again and dtd tonight even tho im loaded with a cold.
also another thing ive been having achy legs past 3 days like a dull pain in my left leg is that a symptom of ovulating?
xxx

I wouldn't b too hard on urself new girl , I had a few glasses of wine during my TWW and conceived a bit drunk , was trying to take the laid back approach because the cycle before I didn't drink at all and wasn't pregnant X
I wouldn't say get totally rat arsed incase ur pregnant , bcoz u will worry about it afterwards , but loads of ppl don't know they are pregnant and have had alcohol before they found out X
Think you know urself what's taking it too far , so it's intirely upto u
If I was past the 12 wk mark I would probably have a glass with my dinner as I did have the odd one with DD and she's absolutely fine and a smart cookie lol X X

P.s uteruscam is the best idea ever sunny

I thought exactly the same about missed pills sunny!! Used to be so overly cautious, using condoms for an extra week etc, what a waste of time!
It's such a lovely thread on here isn't it GX hopefully in time we can turn it into our own antenatal one
Next dilemma for me which I'd appreciate some advice/thoughts on. Just looking at my dates and my TWW this cycle is likely to be exactly over Christmas and new year. What are people's thoughts on abstaining from alcohol during your TWW? Bit of a controversial one possibly. We're having a family party at my mums house for new year, before she sells the house in spring, (which will be v emotional, the house I grew up in, lots of memories of my Dad who's no longer with us). Being honest I'll find it hard to abstain altogether, I don't mind cutting back but in reality I worry about getting carried away with the Christmas spirit (no pun intended). Should I just wait till Jan to try to be extra safe? Or is that silly to waste a month when it'd be unlikely to happen first time? I know loads of people who've got really drunk before they realised they were pregnant but something just feels a bit odd like I'd be taking a risk & beig really selfish knowingly drinking during the TWW . Help!!

Good morning all [santa]
1st of Dec and the count down to Christmas !
Vicky - hope u have some luck with the OPKs when they arrive , really hope they help
Sunny - fx it's ur implantation dip , it is really annoying that pregnancy signs r so similar to AF , but cramping around the sm time could b implantation . Even if u don't catch this month it means u can enjoy all the Christmas food and beverages ! I'm going to really miss a baileys X
Newgirl- hope AF leaves u soon so u can start POAS again lol will b looking forward to hear how u get on with ur temping good luck for this cycle , it should fly in if u are busy preparing for Christmas !
How u doing Mogs and cookie ?

I love this thread , Iv joined an antenatal one but it's so busy I can't keep up so tend not to post very often , plus Iv not really had much to share on the pregnancy aspect because I seem to b doing ok so far , I'm sure by Christmas time il b as sick as a pig lol xx

Well my temp has gone down to cover line today... Which is either late implantation or early AF. I'm thinking AF, feeling cramps, pms, bloated (nothing to do with the mince pies, lol). Will have to wait and see what tomorrow brings.. If it's implantation my temp should go right back up tomorrow. Although apparently the dip can happen without implantation.. I wish it wasn't all so confusing. Can we not just get a little uterus webcam installed?? "Uteruscam" then we would be able to tell what's occurring!

I know Vicky, we are told one missed pill and we will be upduffed for sure! All that paranoia and it's actually quite bloody difficult! Haha

Have a good day everyone.

Great to see your line has appeared Chapman!!
Vicky you may as well use them if you've got cheap ones, just in case.
GX so glad you're keeping in touch and keeping us motivated!!
Sunny, FX for a BFP for you
Day 3 for me and started temping today. Bit bored now that AF is here, can't wait to start POAS again !!
Welcome mogz X

It's good to know I'm not the only one Sunny! Reading the posts on here have def been helping, making me realise I'm not the only one!
As soon as they arrive, I will start using them!! It might stop me thinking about it all quiet so much everyday!!

It's the weirdest thing that we all try so hard not to get pregnant for years, then all of a sudden it's all we want!

Keep us updated Chapman!

I know sunny I was like what!! I was so shocked to be honest I don't know where my body is at but happy with the positive opks! I will dtd tomorrow and test again. Then leave it for 14dpo then test and if it's not bfp I won't be upset I know it does take time :) Oh wow that's fab When was that? Yeah it must be torture I must admit I can't wait to get home from work and test! Getting addicted!!

Yeah gx91 totally agree like I said can take time il only start to get stressed if we are in the same position this time next year!!

Oh bless you Vicky can't believe how irregular that has been, fingers crossed it comes again soon! As soon as I got the opk kits I tried one out just to see if they worked then I stared testing proper every day since last Monday! No harm in trying every day xxx

Aw Vicky we sound similar. My first cycle 4 months, 2nd is still going on day 41, but pretty sure I OVd last week so think this cycle will be about 46 days, so getting shorter. Fingers crossed yours will too! The opks have definitely helped otherwise I would have been unknowingly waiting for AF. Just be prepared to pee on one a day for weeks until it finally happens! You can get 50 on Amazon for a few £'s. X

The signs are looking good Chapman!! Looks like you could be in for a good chance, perfect timing & that's the best place to start!
I stopped taking the pill in May, didn't have AF until 8th October, so on day 36 now. Really don't want to be waiting as long as last time!!

I have ordered some OPK sticks. I don't know if I should start using them as soon as the arrive or wait until AF has been. What would people suggest?
