Join us. It's a boat. Full of okp's and symptom spotting and insanity! But also much love and support! We were supposed to start next month, we already have a few bfp's! Our dps don't know what's hit them!

Missed more posts... This thread moves so quickly!

Thanks for the feedback Snow. Think I'll order some...Can't do any harm!

Hi Kate! Welcome! Makes it extra tricky when your OH works away. Fingers crossed you get upduffed soon! And no, not everyone gets implantation bleeding...I'm not sure what percentage of people do (I'm sure someone on here will know!)... But do keep in mind some people have zero symptoms until 6 weeks so you're never out until you're out!

Firstgo acupuncture might help to regulate your cycle. I started going and got my second cycle one day longer than my first! Not bad for someone who always had irregular cycles pre pill! Plus my acupuncturist was so knowledgeable about fertility she was great to talk to (I say was cos she's pregnant herself and is off on maternity leave after our next apt!)

Apologies first I thought this was your first month off Blush it took me ages to get into a regular cycle after the depo jab. It will settle, are you using ovia? I'm really sorry, this thread has moved so fast this last week! My heads up my arse and I haven't got a clue!

Welcome kate Xmas Grin

Hey there! TTC #1, first month trying, 7dpo. Symptom spotting like mad already, know I need to calm the eff down. Have PCOS but after shifting a ton of weight my periods have been regular for a couple of years now. Hubs is military and away ALOT so we've been making as much use of his Christmas leave as possible. We know that he'll be gone in January so it's either now or Feb...

Does everyone get implantation bleeding? I know 7dpo is super early, and I am already impatient... AF due New Year's Day

firstgo1984 · 21/12/2015 22:51

starky I am 7 months after stopping now. Hoping it will settle soon!

snow the right to change your mind 6 billion times is absolutely correct and shared by every single member, it reminds me of "the poas rules" thread 1 I think runner

ni my mydays says I've not ovulated yet, ovia says I have, okp's aren't helping! So will just have to wait till af arrives next month and I should have some more of an idea! I'm not 30 yet quite but I've been looking for ewcm, and now I'm looking for it, it's not arrived! I haven't a clue what to think but I'm fairly certain that if I had a window that I wandered past it unaware!

You will canters visualise it!
first I think the first cycle after the pill is always unpredictable.
kat positive mind set is the way to be! Xmas Smile

Kat I'm roughly in line with you - currently on CD 7. End Jan feels like a long way away!!

Snowdog37 · 21/12/2015 22:10

I used preseed and it was great Xmas Blush totally helped things along iyswim. Especially by bedding number 4 lol. Dh likes it too. If it helps us get pregnant then it's even better!

firstgo1984 · 21/12/2015 22:10

Other cycles 39, 33, 49 so far. Was about to for and ask for Provera from gp to end cycle then got a positive opk and ewcm for 2 days so we will see

firstgo1984 · 21/12/2015 22:00

I have done a preg test yes. Just a crazy long cycle after pill!

KatOnATinRo0f · 21/12/2015 21:24

I was not necessarily going to tell DH about it... I'm sure I can squirt it in and then lure him to the boudoir...

Canters15 · 21/12/2015 21:13

Ni, I've got pre seed arriving tomorrow ready for my next cycle....I will report back! Do not think OH is going to be thrilled about using it but reading lots on cm today (rock and roll) and does seem like having the good stuff for the swimmers is a key part!

Also- I hear you! Shagged like a Duracell bunny last month and nothing. Am going.to be doing positive visualisation, pre seed and every other day shagging this next cycle. I will get my honeymoon baby!

Ni4444 · 21/12/2015 21:03

Haha I hear ya Kat! That's a lovely positive attitude! My OH has been pretty good hearing about CM and performing on demand...I wonder if introducing fertility lube would push him over the edge! We'll see. He's hoping to get his swimmers checked out in Jan so it'll be good to get the all clear from his side...I was just so surprised that we dtd every second day last month and nothing! I know there's only a 25% chance every month but I want it now!!! Haha and that's why I passed the neurotic test to join this forum!! Wink

KatOnATinRo0f · 21/12/2015 20:52

Ni in not over 30 and haven't noticed much EW. I haven't tried pressed but I have something called "fertility gel" by fertility check that I got from boots, haven't tried it yet. But it along with my OPK strips that are arriving and day means this is my month !!

drinkyourmilk · 21/12/2015 20:41

snow don't give up yet!! You aren't out till you're out on this thread Flowers

Ni4444 · 21/12/2015 20:41

Oh my God ladies I skip a few days of checking the forum and there is SO much chat....and BFP!!! Congrats Blue and pink

Stark you're not alone!! I'm on a long cycle too so AF due around three days before you I think. Currently CD13. Apps suggest I should ovulate 27th or 28th. I hope it doesn't happen sooner this cycle cos I just said goodbye to the OH (and dtd just in case the swimmers survive long enough!) and won't see him again til the 27th! So I guess I shouldn't feel too hopeful this cycle. But going home for Xmas might distract and relax me a bit so fingers crossed!... I have snuck a few Opks in my suitcase just to keep a sneaky eye on things.

Welcome to the newbies, and thanks to the grads for sharing your early symptoms!

Oh and ladies I read that over 30 women have far fewer days of EWCM so you may just be missing it. Anyone tried preseed lube yet? I wonder if I should try giving the swimmers some extra support?!

drinkyourmilk · 21/12/2015 20:38

Looks like lots of us ovulated on the 9th.

I've been feeling really down today, but you've all cheered me right up!

starky and kat I crochet too Xmas Smile, not thought about making baby stuff. My dh won't let me buy anything for a baby unless I'm knocked up. sob

Pinklily1 · 21/12/2015 20:36

*to watch tv

Pinklily1 · 21/12/2015 20:36

First, what have your other cycles been like length wise before this one after coming off the pill?

I'm sat trying to watch to but just keep having moments of thinking "oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck I am up the duff" (in a good way!) Smile

LanadelLol · 21/12/2015 20:25

First how long were you on the pill for? I had been on and off for up to 10 years but always reverted back to a 23-28 day cycle. That's an awful long time, I think you should do a pregnancy test if you haven't already x

KatOnATinRo0f · 21/12/2015 20:19

Cd74....???? Have you poas just to check??? Or did I miss that??

firstgo1984 · 21/12/2015 20:15

lara and starky I came off the pill in msy and cycles all over the place!! I'm on cd74 today!! I started opks this last cycle and finally goy positives on 9th/10th with ewcm and high, soft cervix..... 8/9/10/12th...

LanadelLol · 21/12/2015 20:14

Hi Girls,
How are you all? Congratulations to all the new BFPs!!
Catching up on all the thread and forgetting what I have read already! It's amazing what you miss when you're off this for a day or 2!
Welcome to the newbies too! Are you enjoying the CM, farting and POAS chat? It's lovely isn't it but at least we know we are "normal" haha!
How are all the new baby mamas? Is anyone going to do a Christmas present surprise with their positive pee sticks?
starky, loving your posts as always, if your chat is that good irl no wonder you DH doesn't mind that you don't wash WinkGrin X

Snowdog37 · 21/12/2015 20:14

I love love love cider. And frangelico liquor in eggnog. And Pinot Grigio. So I'll have plenty of liquid comfort should af arrive early or if I test and the computer says no.

Runner05 · 21/12/2015 19:49

On the other hand Snow if you're not you can get pissed at Christmas! have I mentioned I miss cider?

Go on, test WinkWine
