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!

sunny what cd was that?

Cookie22 · 24/01/2016 09:21

Oh no Sunny, that's typical isn't it! I hope it didn't ruin your weekend away. Hopefully your egg with take its time to pop & you manage to catch it today!

Chapman, I get really awful spots on my chin to. It's so frustrating as I never used to get spots up until about 2 years ago. I use Zineryt antibiotic roll on gel that the doctor prescribed for me and it works amazing! I still get it prescribed to me but barely use it now as spots have all but gone.

I'm on CD 11 & also struggling temp wise. I think I misread my Friday temp (tried to read in the dark) and it completely spiked on my chart! Kindara says my fertile window should start next Saturday. Been doing OPKs since yesterday but obviously negative!

Loula I take 1 tablet a day of Agnus Castus, though it says you can take up to 2. The dosage is 1000mg! Seems quite high but think it's the norm! Not experienced any side effects and have been taking it since November xx

Hi all. Sorry il catch up properly after the weekend... But I knew I would ovulate while I'm away for the weekend without hubby!! Couldn't Dtd yesterday or today. Hopefully the egg is slow to Pop and can Dtd tomorrow and catch it! Sod's law! Haha. Catch up properly tomorrow. Hope everyone is ok. X

Loulabelle1990 · 23/01/2016 21:47

Thanks chapman, hope your spots/impetigo calms down soon. I might start temping too - gotta be quicker & easier than OPK's?

FX something happen soon!

cnchapmanxx · 23/01/2016 21:34

New girl - such good news I really hope you get your wish! Praying for you Hun. I've just started to temp and j don't really know what in looking for my temp on Thursday was 34.30 then fri and today 35.30??
Can you help new girl!

Loula - gutted for you. It's such a horrible feeling not knowing what your body is doing 😞 I never use agnus castus I was quite lucky I came on my period 4 weeks after taking the pill. Fx something happens soon!

I'm breaking out in horrible spots and think I have a bit of impetigo on my chin. I feel proper run down think it's the pill still coming out of my system. Xxx

Loulabelle1990 · 23/01/2016 18:17

I'm not sure if I'll bother with taking another, I might just wait till my docs appointment as I don't want to waste loads of money on tests!

Ah okay, do you have to take a certain dosage?

I have had AF type signs this week like headache etc but nothing so far.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend Grin

Cookie22 · 23/01/2016 17:03

Sorry to hear about the bfn Loula! Wait a few days then take another? At least you have your doctor's appointment booked in & being organised about it all! I got my Agnus Castus off amazon (I know j perhaps shouldn't have done this but it was a trusted seller with good reviews!) CD 10 for me and no CM or sign of ov on the horizon. Really hoping I ov next week but it's not looking likely at the moment!

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend. Any symptoms yet from the ladies in their tww? Really feel like we need a run of some BFPs! Xx

Loulabelle1990 · 23/01/2016 16:44

What are Vogel drops first? Hopefully you missing the doses won't affect anything.

When did you come off the pill? I am now on CD 49! I am getting increasingly frustrated haha

firstgo1984 · 23/01/2016 12:37

lou I use a vogel drops but I must admit I do forget them sometimes and I have forgotten to take them away with me this weekend so I will miss a couple of doses. Don't know if they will do anything, I suspect I just need to be patient. Cd30 today and negative opk today. So my cycle will be in the high 40s at least! I suspect longer. I'm incredibly frustrated by it now.

Loulabelle1990 · 23/01/2016 09:53

Took a test this morning and was BFN. I really don't know what to do - guess it's just a waiting game for AF to show up! Got an appointment with my doctor for 9th Feb. Not sure whether it's worth taking the Agnus cactus stuff? If I did, what do you guys use?

NewGirl2015 · 22/01/2016 22:40

Cookie yes I'm in the dreaded TWW, I am either 3 or 5 DPO depending on when I ov'd and whether or not my low temp was a false reading or not. But temps looking good so far, 3 days of highs now so I know I HAVE ov'd, just not sure exactly when! I'm still getting some faint Ov twinges but think I'm just being hyper aware of it Confused. I may do an early indicator test on Wednesday if my temps are still high, but this is probably too early.
How are you, the boring wait for Ov is almost as bad as the TWW!

Chapman, Sunny, loula, first, any Ov symptoms for you as yet?

Shankate I've got a good feeling about this month, hope you get that BFP!!

firstgo1984 · 22/01/2016 13:54

Negative just now.... onto the next day!

firstgo1984 · 22/01/2016 11:03

I didn't use fmu this am. Not tested yet today. No ewcm though so suspect it will be negative again!

Yvonne1986 · 22/01/2016 08:53

Lou and Shankate that's so exciting FX for a BFP for you soon!

It's so frustrating isn't it Firstgo it doesn't look like Agnus cactus has had any effect! I'm on CD15 no sign of OV x

shankate182 · 22/01/2016 01:13

Cookie22
got my last af the 31st december ended the 6th and due one thursday? I was spotting ages but got my af afterwards no spotting this month atal just waiting on af

Loulabelle1990 · 21/01/2016 23:07

Hey everyone, hope your all ok Smile

I done a couple more CB ovulation tests and still negative! Still no sign of AF either as of it. Will be testing this weekend if still nothing tomorrow. Will keep you all posted!

Does anyone know what your cm is supposed to be like in very early pregnancy by any chance?

firstgo1984 · 21/01/2016 22:45

My positives last month went on for 2 dats so they were positive at all times of day

Sunnydays321 · 21/01/2016 22:33

Was your positive last month in the morning?

Yeah mine have been very definite positives when they have happened last couple of months. Which I know means I shouldn't waste time examining and debating over them, as is so obvious when it happens! But I still do! Haha x

firstgo1984 · 21/01/2016 22:32

I presume that's because my morning urine is so concentrated! Onwards!

firstgo1984 · 21/01/2016 22:25

sunny my afternoon and evening ones always seem to be lighter. When I got a positive last month it was obvious immediately

Sunnydays321 · 21/01/2016 22:07

Oh first, that's annoying (although mine always seem to be lighter in evening that with afternoon wee). Mine is lighter again now too. Iv dug the old ones from the last few days out (I keep them cos I'm weird!!) and one of them is almost positive, but I'm not sure what day it was from. Doesn't look like Iv OVd tho from temps so il just keep trying. X

cnchapmanxx · 21/01/2016 22:04

Evening girls.
I'm cd9 today temped past 2 mornings and used my opks both negative so will keep trying 😁 How is everyone else? Xxx

firstgo1984 · 21/01/2016 21:53

Opk lighter again this evening. Sigh

Cookie22 · 21/01/2016 20:18

Shankate, are you in the tww? Bfp symptoms can be easily confused with AF type signs, too. I was symptom spotting like mad last cycle and it just turned out to be early AF. Fx it's good news for you tho! How many dpo are you roughly? Xx

Cookie22 · 21/01/2016 20:15

Hi ladies, hope we're all good! Ooh that's great about the ewcm Sunny! Fx you ov tomorrow or after the weekend so that you don't miss it! Hope you can enjoy the hen weekend without stressing too much about it, tho I think our bodies are purposefully teasing us at times by ov'ing at the worst possible time!!

First, Yvonne- any sign of ov yet for you two? Have you taken another OPK yet first? My OPKs are usually darkest about midday/early afternoon. Though it can be hard to test at this time when at work!

Loula, how are you doing? Is AF due at the weekend? Hope it stays away and you get your bfp!

Any symptoms yet new girl? How are your temps looking? The tww is agonising! Hope it goes in quickly for you!

Chapman, you'll be at a similar boring stage to me (tho slightly further ahead) CD 8 for me and I'm fed up! Really hoping my b6 & Agnus supplements bring forward my ov & extend my luteal! Ovulation anywhere below CD 20 this cycle would be amazing! Xx
