Waiting to try, and cycle a mess from the pill

Just wondering if there are any other lurkers in the same boat as me, planning to TTC in December/January?

I came off the pill three months ago and have only had one pathetic AF in that time, so very glad I came off early but also pretty anxious at how messed up things are, 1st cycle was 39 days, this one is 40 and courting.

So who's with me? I can't be the only person on here who is actually hoping for AF!

Yvonne I have had loads of faint ones earlier in cycle. Will do one more at about 10pm and test with cb if it looks positive to confirm. Hope it is not a false alarm again!

Yvonne1986 · 26/01/2016 18:03

Oh Chapman I'm so gutted for you what cd were you?

Amazing news Choc congratulations I bet you can't wait for your scan!

Great that you have a darker OPK fx you will get a positive tomorrow, I'm on CD 20 just getting really faint lines on my OPK still x

BoBo90 · 26/01/2016 17:47

Congratulations Choc!! Grin

First - that's great news, make sure you test multiple times a day now so you don't miss the surge Smile

I'm 8dpo now and feeling ridiculously tired and eyes feel like I've been up for days! Also have a stuffy head with lots of pressure but not overly painful. This better be pregnancy related or I will be one grumpy bum come testing day Angry even though deep down I'm not expecting a bfp since it's first try and cycle is a mess

firstgo1984 · 26/01/2016 17:09

Ok so this afternoons opk was much darker but not yet positive. I am hopeful!

Chocaholic88 · 26/01/2016 14:35

Thanks everyone. Will keep you updated x

firstgo1984 · 26/01/2016 14:11

choc will be interested to know the outcome!

NewGirl2015 · 26/01/2016 14:08

Wow congratulations Choc! Brilliant news, so glad it turned out to be a happy ending for you after all the stress. Let us know how you get on your scan.

Chapman so sorry to hear about AF, that's a strange one just after your positive OPK's Confused. Not surprised you are feeling upset bless you. How long was your cycle? Is there any chance you could have missed Ov earlier in the month?

Hey everyone
Sorry to hear about af Chapman
Congratulations chocoholic
Cramp and sore boobs this morning and the feel like there heavy harder and fuller??

Poin86 · 26/01/2016 13:47

Congratulations Choc!! Hoping this is the start of lots of BFPs for you all

Hugs Chapman Hope you're ok lovely.

Going to get some OPKs for sure this month, want to know if i'm ovulating at all. Still getting light periods - nothing like i used to have - and from what i've read this could mean i'm not actually ovulating. My only issue is timing and when i need a wee! I leave work at 5 and normally try for a wee before the journey home and then don't need to go much before bed. so not sure when i could do my OPK. Any advice?

Chocaholic88 · 26/01/2016 13:34

Yes I'm being booked in for a scan after my booking appointment on Thursday... interestingly this happened with my son too and I expected to see a 7 week baby on the scan... he was 10! So the original blood test didn't show it... really odd!!

firstgo1984 · 26/01/2016 13:21

choc I would suggest that the mosyt likely thing is that negative HCG test on 11th Jan was correct but that this is a pregnancy after you ovulated soon after that date. I cannot explain the BFP earlier in your cycle!

I would imagine you are going to need another blood HCG level and scan to help date you!

Chocaholic88 · 26/01/2016 12:55

Don't be sorry firstgo it's cool x around the time of the blood test I think! May have been a few days after. Was FMU as well which was unusual to get a strong result apparently but I have no idea! We'll find out if I caught around that time once I have my scan I guess but still doesn't explain 4 positive tests in December and no bleed between?!

firstgo1984 · 26/01/2016 12:43

what date was that? (sorry for being nosey)

Chocaholic88 · 26/01/2016 12:42

Got one strong OPK a few days after the blood test but midwife told me not to take it into account...

firstgo1984 · 26/01/2016 12:41

choc and remind me, did you get opks that looked like you were ovulating recently?

Chocaholic88 · 26/01/2016 12:34

firstgo yes, on 11th of January... I was told it was 'unlikely' I was pregnant by my GP and the midwife said she still wanted to see me as I hadn't bled since the first positive result

firstgo1984 · 26/01/2016 12:33

cnchapman i'm sorry. how long was your cycle? did you manage to catch your ovulation this cycle?

still waiting for mine, opk like this just now (the darkest I have had when I have avoided using flu). will test again later and se if it is getting any darker. not confined though as I have been here before this cycle.

Congrats chocoholic great news! Bet your over the moon!
Well AF has shown up in full force today so I'm back to square one. I'm so upset I just cried this morning. I don't think this is helping me fall pregnant at all. Don't know why it's happened but never mind.
Xxxx

firstgo1984 · 26/01/2016 12:11

choc did you ever get a blood test done for HCG levels?

Chocaholic88 · 26/01/2016 11:38

Hi ladies...Sorry I haven't posted in a bit past my initial couple of posts...

Recap: I came offrom zeletta on Dec 12th... no bleed, got a positive pregnancy test on the 27th, then only negative tests past that point. Not had a bleed.

Today I got this and the midwife is over the moon. Booking appointment on Thursday. How crazy!

So it's kind of proof of 1) I feel pregnant straight after coming off the pill and 2) you don't have to have a bleed before you can fall. Good luck to you all ❤❤

Haven't been on here for a while as trying not to obsess too much! How is everyone getting on? Still no period for me 😦

Cookie22 · 26/01/2016 07:10

Sorry to hear of your ov bleeding Chapman, hope it passes quickly for you! I never knew you could get ov bleeding/spotting! My OPK I did after work was also so faint yesterday & my CB digital one was (again) negative this morning. Really thought my lines would be getting darker by now. Oh well! Good luck with your OPKs Yvonne. Hope they get darker too for you! Your CM sounds a good sign first, maybe this your body gearing up for its surge! Xx

cnchapmanxx · 25/01/2016 22:27

Yvonne - yeah I tested when I was home from work about 8.20 so very late no hope to be fair. But we dtd on sat and Sunday so night off today will dtd tnorrow and Wednesday we shall see! Still light bleeding :(
