The craziness that is TTC after stopping the pill. On this thread we have 100 day cycles, do weeks of opks and send ovia into a fit with our ever changing fertile windows! Welcome.

Lemon I hope you get a bfp/af soon! Waiting in limbo is so frustrating!!!
I may join you with the white knicker plan 😆 I had a bfn this morning so pretty sure I'm out and waiting for af to turn up so I can start a fresh new cycle! 😊

Shan we're overdue a nice bfp so I am eagerly awaiting your test tomorrow 😄 Fx for you lovely! Xx

chapman we are in exactly the same boat! I cracked and did a test this morning, BFN, but AF still hasn't shown up. This evening feeling a bit tummy-achey, but don't think it's cramps, think I just ate my massive dinner too fast

Further complicating matters is the issue of my shorter cycle this month...maybe I haven't ovd yet after all. But I've had consistently high temps for 12 days, and that only ever happens immediately before AF arrives (sometimes I'll get a day or 2 of high temps and think I've ovd, but then it goes back to normal and nothing happens for ages. Any time it stays up consistently, AF arrives, so I assume that means I've ovd, since it's v rare to get AF without ov).

So, either I am pg and just not showing on test yet, or I didn't ov and just need to turn my radiators down or I did ov, didn't conceive and AF is just taunting me.

Am seriously considering wearing white knickers every day just to see if I can tempt her into action...! And if she doesn't turn up I'll be retesting on maybe Friday.

FX for BoBo, shan, chapman and anyone else testing over the next couple of days...surely it's time for at least one BFP! x

FX for u bobo ☺

Cookie
I have amazing will power because I'm waiting for af until bobo said to test again cus I cud be pregnant 😂 I wud be waiting a while if it's BFP 😂

Cookie I haven't come on! No symptoms or anything apart from I was up at the toilet twice last night sorry if tmi but with the shits. Kept checking for the witch but she's not shown all day. I took a frer this morning and it was negative took it out the pack and it was evap I think on the other line.
Don't know what to think I just think I'm late but I'm regular so unless I haven't got enough hormone yet for the tests to pick hcg up I'm just waiting for AF to show!!! XXXX

I've had some twinges/pain in my ovaries but no af style cramps so hoping that's a good sign! Last cycle af arrived on 10dpo and I'm 11dpo now which could be good or could just be due a bit later this cycle 🤔

fx you ov'd then Hun 😊 It's so lovely when hubbies say/do something to show how much they want a baby too! Mine is always so quiet about things and the other day he just started talking about how he wants a little girl and my heart melted! X

Ooh so exciting Bobo, really hope you get your bfp huni! Had any symptoms lately? When is AF due? I've got loads of cheapy OPKs left so I've been still using them and will keep doing them for peace of mind. Really hoping I ov'd today as we've been really trying. I think DH is more keen than ever, which is lovely. I no longer feel like I'm peer pressuring him into it lol! Xx

I'm testing tomorrow Cookie so I'll let you know what I get! Have you got any cheap opks you can use to just to double check you don't have another lh surge? I had to do that this cycle but luckily I ov'd correctly (I think 😆)

How are we all doing ladies? Bobo, Chapman, have yous tested yet! I've been eagerly checking this thread in the hope of hearing that one of you have got a bfp!! Shan, you have unbelievable willpower!! Don't know how you'be managed to leave it so long without testing!

Well I'm in limbo now! I kept reexamining my positiveish OPKs yesterday and now doubting if they were truly positive. Clear blue was solid, which would indicate ovulation soon. However, because last month I had a false reading I'm doubting myself! Had a killer headache yesterday (I absolutely never get headache!). Was hoping it might have been ovulation related but who knows. We've been dtd to cover ourselves anyways! Xx

FX for all your testing this week :) BFP is well overdue :)
Happy ur cycles n ov is back to normal :)
So it's 17 days late and still no sign of AF? It's been 2 weeks since I tested so FX for me il be getting one thur don't wanna test to early incase af arrives cus I hate building myself up to a BFP and it not happening :( but tbh it's unusual for me ? So I'm kinda excited :)

sunny it's all ok thanks. Forgot how annoying "non-pill" periods were. Eugh. Cramps have gone, 3 days instead of one.

I'm never that lucky so I'm not even attempting an early bfp haha!
Good luck to you too 😄 Xx

oh i see haha! you havent the patience of a saint. i started testing from 10dpo thinking id be a lucky one and get a bfp erly like all these other women but no!!
good luck hun fx we have some more bfps this month xx

I'm only 10dpo so I'm leaving it until Wednesday 😊 Not sure if af will just naturally be a few days later as my cycle is still getting back to normal and didn't want to do it too early! X

Bobo have you not tested Hun?
I'm testing tomorrow if not Wednesday as I don't think I can cope testing today and getting a negative!! Xxx

Good luck for testing day lemon and chapman!

Yay for ovulation coming earlier this cycle cookie!

Shan fx for you, don't know how you manage to wait to test! I would have walked to the nearest boots if I had too 😄

Af is due today for me and every little twinge makes me think she's on her way 😔 However half my aches and pains seem to be from over exerting myself at the weekend! Seems I dug up and raked the lawn too vigorously oops 😆

fab news cookie!!
even if you dont ov this week just carry on dtd jsut incase you ov later and this may be a false one (fingers crossed it isnt)
ive got the frer in my handbag and ive just been to the toilet and ive got ewcm not the very sticky stuff like pritt stick but literally like im ovulating ewcm. i dont know whats going on haha! i dont know whether af is on the way or im pregnant! xx

Update: ewcm & IC OPK is mega dark. Ov is definitely on its way (I'm convincing myself it is anyways!). DH is getting pounced on tonight hehe! A full week ahead of schedule so hopefully my luteal phase will be longer! Xx

Haha who am I to kid- yes it is all I can think about!! Thank God I can come on here and vent (and carry on as a fairly sane person in RL ). Aw try hold off till Tuesday Mrs. It's hard though, especially if you know you've got a frer in your handbag!

Well I've got my solid smiley on clear blue today, yipee! It's a cautious 'yipee' though as last month I got the solid and I think it was due to a premature LH surge. ICs seem to be matching up this time tho so fingers crossed! Xx

No babe I've fkin used them all hahaha just my luck. I've still got like 4 one step ones left and a frer one in my handbag so I will try to resist until Tuesday!
Yeah being busy hopefully will take ur mind off it but let's be honest it really is all you can think about isn't it.. It's all I can think about! Let's hope your ov abit earlier this month Hun fx you get that static smiley!! I'm going to order some more opks tnorrow as I've none left haha xxxx

I'm on CD 18 just now hun. Been doing cheapy OPKs for a few days now and thought I could see a gradual build up on the lines but my clear blue is still an empty circle. Bah, it's rotten having long cycles! Got a mega busy week at work this week though so I hope that takes my mind off things! Have you used up all your frer or are you going to do another tomorrow? A few girls on here got a positive OPK before their bfp, have you got any OPKs lying about? Xx

Aw bless you Hun I hope you catch this month it's what you deserve! Yeah i look on other forums to get more opinions and it's good Hun you should have a gander! Aw I know sweetie you know how it is you expect to be like everyone else and get bfps early! What day are u on now? Xxx

My cycle was 10 days longer last month Chapman but I typically don't ov until around cd26, it's annoying! That's reassuring to hear about the girls on netmums- thanks Mrs! It's given me a bit of hope! I just worry about the luteal phase but I suppose it might just lengthen enough one month to allow a wee bean to stick! Ooh you never know chick, I hear of people getting bfn on a frer up to the day of AF & only a bfp a few days after AFs due date. Keep smiling- you could have a tiny human growing inside you hehe! Xx

Hey girls no test still havnt arrived to this island 😂 gona wait till Wednesday/Thursday when I'm in town and do one then :)
