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.

Implantation bleeding it starts b4 af is. Due n is light? FX all the way for you :) them test do look promising
AF was due yday n no sign of it ? Nausea feeling last 3 days ? Any idea when I shud test ? As I don't wanna get BFN I'd rather wait for af

Here's a pic comparison of the tests within and after the window. I did these at the same time just 2 different brands.

Thanks Sunny, Planeater.

Yes the lines did come up within the time frame but got stronger over time (after the time frame).
Just done another test this morning with FMU and got another faint line.
The bleeding is light and not constant, only needing a panty liner but I guess I assumed I was AF (very early AF) as it has been bright red at times. It started on 8DPO which is very early for AF.
Really hoping it's not a chemical but only time will tell . I am only 11 DPO, my lutenal phase is on the short side, around 10-12 days, I've been trying to increase it with B6 and Angus Cactus. I'll just keep doing tests (luckily I bought loads last month) and keep an eye on the bleeding.
Thanks for the support girls! xx

BFN
Trying not to get too bummed out. I know it won't help. Resenting going on pill in the first place. all round

Just popping by to see how you're all doing. Sorry to those with BFNs.

NewGirl you're not going crazy, I can definitely see lines there, but think 10DPO is really early to get an accurate result. I'd keep an eye on the bleeding and maybe test again on Monday or Tuesday if AF proper hasn't shown up. Keeping everything crossed for you xx

Girls sorry to jump in when I've not been on here for ages, just done a early response test, can you see very faint lines or am I going mad??
I'm actually bleeding at the mo so very confused . I'm 10DPO.... It's bright red blood so assumed it was too heavy to be implantation.
The line did appear within 3 mins but worried it could this just be a fade out line.

Sorry about BFN :(
AF due today and no sign of her atal but woke up to a very bad nausea feeling like I was nervous kinda nausea? I don't know why I'm off to work and have this sickness and an debating on weather to buy a FRER or not? How longs do they show up for ?

Just used my FRER - BFN, boo! Come on AF so I can get on with next month now!!

Finding it strange to have to plan this as DD was conceived in first cycle so didn't have these issues last time...

How's all you women :)
Havnt be here in a few days sorry about AF cookie :(
And hope everyone's cycles are back on track to catch ov :)
So AF is due tomorrow :/ think more than likely il get it as no pregnancy symptoms an I'm getting spots on my chin and go a few cramps last night so I'm just depressed so gona feast into a Chinese tonight :( cus I know she's just around the corner?
Only thing iv got this month was heartburn, headaches tiredness? No cramps or sore boobs atal this month only last night cramps? So I'd say she's on her way ah well FX for next month :)
How's everyone else getting on :)

Hi All
Havent posted anything for a while, just been lurking and seeing how everyone is getting on -
Congrats First, thats so awesome news! we weren't going to ttc until mid March but valentines day we both thought, why are we waiting?! Now I'm in 2ww and obsessively symptom spotting. I am so desperate to get a BFP now we are trying, I think it's the mental side of wanting to be able to plan, and knowing if it doesn't happen this time (which is likely) it'll be another two weeks until we get our next chance. Weeks seem so long when you want a bfp. I'm sorry, you guys all know this and have had to deal with this for ages, I'm just trying to get my head round the emotion of it all I guess. I need to hope for a bfp but be prepared in case it's a neg result. Trying desperately not to get my hopes up!! Not due AF until thu next week. It is going to be a long six days until then!
Anyways, good luck everyone, let's have a few more BFPs soon! xx

Thanks bobo. I keep popping back to see how everyone is getting on. Just to warn you all the first few weeks feels like a prolonged 2ww. Just hoping all stays ok. Fairly sure i am 4+5 today. Got a sneaky scan at work to check i wasn't further than j thought. Saw the tiniest hint of a sac and a lovely thick lining. Will scan agai next week when hopeully there will be a much bigger sac to see.

sunny sorry your opks are confusing. I got so frustrated with mine at times!

Morning everyone!

Haven't been on in a while because bugger all is happening with me! Waiting for a second line on opks and not sure whether I should ov next week (wishful thinking based on a normal cycle length) or whether I'll be waiting for another month before it happens like cycle 1! Waiting is so boring!

Bit late but CONGRATS FIRST!!

Sunny - it could be lighter at 9pm because your wee is more diluted. That might explain why the line goes lighter but I have no idea why you are getting so many dark lines. Must be so frustrating for you! Could you try temping at the same time to help pinpoint ovulation? x

Sorry about AF cookie! You were saying about taking different vitamins. I am taking pregnacare preconception vitamins, and there is vitamin b12 and b6 in them. Apparently they are supposed to help increase short luteal phases. I'm been taking them for a few months now (6 months?), and although I haven't seen much different, I have only had 2 cycles in that time so I don't have much evidence yet.

Two that I've starred not started

Hi ladies!
Sorry I've not been around much, been trying to chill out a bit and not think about ttc every minute. Plus I was really down after AF arrived last month and just needed to sulk to myself for a bit!

Seems like I've missed loads, so happy we've had 2 BFP's first and Yvonne! Great great news and gives us all hope.

So I'm 7dpo this cycle, in the 2ww but not all that hopeful this month as my temps have been all over the place. We DTD -2 and -1 days of Ov but not on the day as we were both ill and didn't want to force it.
A snap of my OPK's for you all as I swapped to a different brand half way through (clinical guard blue handle, one step green handle) and it turns out they were way more sensitive. The two that I've started were taken at exactly the same time!! So whilst that line is really dark I'm still confident my positive was earlier in the week but the crappy OPKS didn't show it up very well.

Hope everyone's good!

Sorry to hear that cookie.

Well AF got me this morning. Feeling decidedly raging/upset/overwhelmingly crappy. 7 or 8 day luteal phase yet again so this has made me even more frustrated at the whole thing. Going to take some time to myself for a while. Good luck to everyone waiting on their Bfps xxx

I somehow managed to resist until 13dpo!
I do wonder how early it would have been positive on a FRER.
I think i implanted around 8dpo (based on cramping) so i guess a few days after that.
Still no real symptoms to speak of. Nipples getting slightly tender.
4+2 i think now.

Will keep coming back here to see how you all get on.

I get*

Ooh I know what you mean Lawyer! Get my frer off eBay for £3 so I have 2 of them ready for when I test and also a clear blue digi! Costs a fortune this ttc malarkey xx

Gosh cookie I know - am like a child at Christmas with the presents in the cupboard but then know that I am going to be even more disappointed if it is a BFN than if AF just arrives!! Also, the tests are so blinking expensive!!!

Lawyer, glad to hear your ultrasound went well! That must be reassuring! I think the general consensus with frer is that 10dpo is probably best time to start testing. I may be wrong tho! I have a bundle of ICs so I find it hard to resist after 8dpo! Xx
