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.

Hey everyone still lurking as I really hope to see you all get your BFPs soon! Cookie we only dtd twice in FM two days before the positive OPK and the day of positive so FX you will have caught it xxx

cookie i dtd on thurs evening and sunday morning. Think i ovulated on the sunday night

Congrats First! Lots of great news for you x

Thanks first, you give us hope! Did you manage to dtd a lot around the time of ov? I think I may have only managed once the day of ov and once 2 days before (due to the fact I thought I'd already ovulated weeks ago!!) xx

This would have been a 59 or 60 day cycle. Don't give up hope!

Omg first, huge congratulations to you! So happy for you! It's lovely to see that more of us on here are getting our Bfps.

Thanks for that helpful advice Lemon. If no bfp this month then I think I'll arrange an appointment with the dr. It's more the pain around ovulation that's worrying me now & I feel I have a number of the Pcos symptoms: Hairiness, erratic cycles, spots. Would welcome a scan for peace of mind

Thanks Chapman, it's great knowing we're in this together lovely! What cd are you on now? I know the feeling being in that 'boring stage' where it feels like there's nothing you can do! Xx

Woooooo first I am so happy for you!!! Such fab news xx

Just hope my breast biopsy results are fine now!

Nothing different. Timing wise i think we dtd about 72 and 12 hours pre-ovulation pains. No opks as i had given up on them.

Aaaaaah first how exciting! Very pleased for you

And yes, like chapman I'd also like to know your secret! Or was it just right place, right time?! x

Aw I bet you are!! Congrats though and have a fab pregnancy what did u do different this month xx

Yeah i will photograph both later. In shock!

So the picture is pregnancy test??? Congrats bet your over the moon

The opk was positive... which after yvonne's bfp made me test. I had to pee on something!

First it looks like a bfp!!!!!!!
Congrats!!! Xx

Ok... i have no willpower. ..

Right i need some willpower to hold off testing.trying to wait until period is actually late! Rather than due in the next couple of days! I have one test in the drawer and one remaining opk.

Awww Cookie sounds like you're having a rough time of it at the moment But have that large glass of wine (I'm joining you!), tomorrow is another day. Re. ovary scans, I was referred for one by my GP, at my request - it was after I'd been off the pill for about 4 months and there was absolutely nothing doing on the AF front, so I wanted to get checked out for PCOS (have some other symptoms too, have always been fairly hairy, periods were very unpredictable pre-pill too, carrying weight around my middle, etc). They did blood tests which were inconclusive, so packed me off for scans.

In my case the scans pretty much ruled out PCOS but still didn't explain what was going on with my cycles, but then again I wasn't TTC at the time - they just told me to DTD when the time came and see if it worked. In your position, they may have more to go on, and be able to do further tests/offer more answers or treatments. I'd suggest chatting it over with your GP and asking them to investigate. Good luck! x

Cookie - I feel ya babe I feel down but because I'm at the boring cycle of me stage and just waiting to ovulate haha! I'm gonna chill as best as I can this month but make sure I use my Opks!
Fx you did all you can to bfp lovely! Get a glass/bottle of wine and chill xxx

sunny thanks. I am feeling a bit sorry for myself with a huge bandage on my boob!
12dpo..... maybe. Starting to doubt i ovulated! Who know!

Sorry I've been absent a few days, ladies. Welcome Maple and Lemon. It's always nice to see more girlies on here. Glad your appointment went fairly smoothly, first. Hopefully results won't take too. How's your tww going? Sunny, I hope you hear back about your scan results soon. If you don't mind me asking, how did you go about getting the scan? Did you ask for it? I'm still extremely apprehensive that I've got Pcos or some other ovary/hormonal problem. Cycles still haven't settled at all

Been feeling really down the past few days. CD36 and apparently 16dpo and still Bfns I've came to the conclusion I didn't ov according to my clear blue and cheapy OPKs! Had extremely painful UTI type pains this weds/thurs that I associate with ovulation, so I can only guess that's when I must have ovulated, making me now only 3dpo. I'm mega confused and fed up! Only managed to dtd once over the weekend and tues night so not holding out much hope! I think I should invest in shares in FRER as my bin is now homing a depressing collection of bfn frers! Definitely not got the Friday feeling tonight so I think I'll drown my sorrows in a large glass of wine! Xx

sunny think mine was a core biopsy.3 of them as it was a thin long weird area.

Hi Sunflower - I do sometimes get one-sided pain around ov-time, not crampy though, it's very sharp stabby pain like a stitch, low down near the front of my hip bone IYSWIM. Not sure if that's helpful or not?!

FX during your 2ww.

Hi again.
So, been doing opks this month. Over a few days the test line darkened then faded. Never got quite as dark as the control
2ww now.
Anyway on the days of the darker lines I had crazy cramps - mostly left side. Does anyone else get this? I'm a bit of a hypochondriac so could do with perspective. Thank you.
