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.

Loulabelle I'd count that as negative if it was mine. But I've not had a positive yet. Seeing the trend over a few days is insightful. Either way dtd just in case

Cd 30 today and bfn + no AF =

last bleed urgh was end of Jan. Waiting for next one. No chance of being pregnant. Both dh and I have been away separately in the last month and we've both been ill. So no touchy!! Haha!!

Waiting for first period

Did u get a withdrawal bleed ememe?

Hello. Can I join? I came off Cileste in early Feb. So am one month in. No af yet. Would be due this week. Waiting....

Hi ladies, how is everyone? Haven't been on here in a while. Trying to be a bit more laid back about things! Started doing OPK's but I don't know what's negative and what's positive. I don't this one today which is slightly darker than previous ones I have done. Not sure if it's positive or negative tho!

17 dpo btw

Knowing my luck it will :(
But I'm getting no symptoms of AF usually I do be in alot of pain but iv nothing just a few twitches here and there? That's it I'm recked tired lately n all God if I get a BFN I dono what's going on ?

Fingers crossed that AF doesn't show up before then!
Well obviously I'm no longer expert but what I've had is sort of like pulling. Apparently it's the uterus starting to stretch (already!!) x

Keep getting a stitch like pulling pain in the bottom of my stomach keep thinking it's an af cramp but doesn't feel like it?

Newgirl
I'm gona test whenever DH decides to go get me one as he is in a place where there's a chemist and where I live there's nothing lol so he going back today and will be back again either Thursday or Friday il test then if AF stays away but I'm getting no signs of AF
I'm getting nausea in my stomach last few days and it like something is stretched inside my stomach r sumn I don't know
Are u getting any CM? I'm getting loads of it and keep running to the bathroom thinking it's AF?

Yes same Shan, couldn't say it was painful, jut noticeable. This is going to sound weird but I feel very aware of my uterus !!
Fingers crossed, when will you test?

Thanks bobo, can't believe it's me being congratulated!!
Great news about your cycle going back to normal. Angus cactus brought forward with Ov for me, took it for the first time this month so it worked for me!!

Morning all!

Congrats Newgirl 😄!!

So I've had some ovary pain like last month and very faint lines on opks! Hopefully that means I should get a positive within the next week (seems 5-7 days after ov pain is normal for me)! I'm super suprised as that will make this cycle roughy 35 days which was normal pre pill (along as I ov as predicted)!
That's a big difference from my 76day cycle last time!! Not sure if it's down to te Agnus castus I started taking this cycle or just body naturally reverting back! Either way I'm really pleased!
Might be worth trying Agnus Castus if anyone has log cycles just in case that is what helped me 😊

Yea newgirl I'm getting the same but very light ?

Totally get you Shan I'm still not really believing these tests still expecting AF to show up tomorrow.
If it's any reassurance I've been having sort of twinges/pinching/pulling sensation the past 2 days which apparently is very common in early pregnancy.
Fx AF stays away for you x

I'm actually so nervous about testing this week :(
Incase it's a BFN or AF arrives :( really wanna get BFP I'm getting so cramps but there slight so FX it's nothing :( I sick of being disappointed tbh :(

Thanks lemon!
Pretty sure it is a BFP, just still doesn't feel real! I've done about 10 tests in 3 days although they're not getting stronger yet.
From tomorrow I will have officially missed my period, my longest recorded lutenal has been 12 days and tomorrow is day 13, so fingers crossed nothing shows. The bleeding has stopped now, tiniest bit of brown spotting but nothing really. Just SO nervous!! You think the 2ww is bad, this is way worse so scared that something will go wrong but being as positive as possible.

Good thinking about your bridesmaid dress!! So this is your first cycle trying this month?? How exciting!!

First so glad to hear you are doing well! Lucky you getting to scan yourself early . I'm thinking of having an early scan privately to put my mind at rest, mind if I ask when you'd say is worthwhile going??

Just wanted to let you lot know that5ye biopsy results from my breast lump were fine.

5+1 today. 5mm sac when i scanned myself today!

AF is normally regular for me last month it showed up in time but if nothing happens again Wednesday il test Thursday just to ease my mind :)

Well, if AF is normally regular for you (i.e. turns up when the app says it should) then I'd test if I were you...but then I am very impatient and would rather know one way or the other, even if it was a BFN.

No reason why you can't wait and see if AF turns up within a couple of days or so - just don't do anything you wouldn't do if you were pg (drinking etc), and see what happens. Maybe do a test thur/fri if AF is still missing?

I understand you don't want to see a BFN, but on the other hand if AF is late for a different reason (there's a chance it could be stress, or any number of other things) and you wait too long to test, you'll be getting your hopes up for a BFP for no reason, so a BFN might be even more disappointing. Does that make sense?

Obvs up to you at the end of the day...you can only do what you think is best. I've got FX crossed for you x

Here's the app I'm following.
The flower is my ov and the green dots are my fertile window. The love hearts are obviously dhd 😅 and the grey is where af is due? :)

Its not that iv patients it's just I'm going by my app that I due 2 days ago but I'm getting no AF symptoms atal this month usually il be bet into a chair with pains but nothing only had heartburn a few cramps like 4 days ago I'm getting a lot more CM than usual and yeah very nausea the last few days taught I caught a bug r sumn just feel very heavy and bloated but no sore or tender boobs?
I'm mad to test but I'd rather get AF than a BFN :(

Hi gang, have been lurking for a few days as have been busy over the weekend etc.

Flamingo hope your 2ww is passing as fast as possible and FX for a BFP for you later this week! I can appreciate how you feel re. wanting to remain optimistic without getting your hopes up so much that you're crushed if you get a BFN. Easier said than done, but I think it helps to try to go with the flow and remember (however corny) that everything happens for a reason...and when the right sperm and egg come along one month, they will hit it off and there'll be no stopping them!

Newgirl I have everything crossed for you that the lines get darker and the bleeding is just implantation. No advice to offer really as I haven't been in your situation but here with cake/hugs/gin [delete as applicable]

shankate you have the patience of a saint, I would be testing by now if AF was a day late! I say go for it, esp as you've had a little bit of nausea. FX for you!

Things are slow here...CD21 of probably 50, so waiting to DTD as much as possible starting next week I think, as long as blood tests (rubella immunity and other general checkup bits and pieces) come back ok. Yes, Cookie, I am one of those annoyingly overorganised people, so am approaching all of this with the attitude that if we're going to make a human, we're going to do the best possible job we can! So wanted to cover all bases before we start. Results tomorrow.

Also went for a bridesmaid dress fitting at the weekend, and it suddenly dawned on me that, all being well, I may be sporting a bump come July - and the dresses had to be ordered there and then, with no time to get them altered/changed after that (14 week lead time...! ) Had a quiet word with the bride (and swore her to secrecy) and she's had to order the dress a size bigger than I am now - luckily I can sew, so if I am not pg I'll just tailor it back down to the right size myself. Also would only be 4months at the very most (if by some miracle we conceive on the first cycle) so shouldn't be of whale-like proportions by then.

What a palaver!
