Hi ladies,

This is the 2nd thread following on from

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/2452018-Waiting-to-try-and-cycle-a-mess-from-the-pill

For everyone who is entering the madness that is Ttc after stopping the pill. Maybe to start the thread we could all post our stats, so we remember where everyone is at and don't have to check the old thread. X

Slaps Sunny (in the nicest way possible)
It's going to be fine! Maybe you just had diluted wee Smile stop worrying and enjoy yourself mrs Grin!

Af arrived today so I am officially cd1 of cycle 4!
Went to bed at 8:30pm last night, cried myself to sleep and managed to sleep for 12 hours...woops! haha! Feeling much better today though Smile I'm really pleased af has arrived and not kept me waiting and Agnus Castus shortened my cycle by 2 days so that's promising for next cycle. I have my fx the Ac will make me ovulate just before I go on holiday (so I don't have to worry about opks and family) and then I will be distracted during my tww which will be REALLY nice Grin

Sparkle - We can be cycle buddies Smile since my previous cycle buddy went and got herself upduffed Wink

Cookie - you must be our next hope Smile what cd are you on again hun?

Sunnydays321 · 17/04/2016 15:19

Ahhhhh Chapman!!! I knew you were going to be preggers this month! Huge huge huge congratulations to you. That line is so dark!!! So happy for you. I'm on holiday so just catching up.

Iv decided not to tell my mum, so am strategically trying to not drink/swap drinks with my sister etc. still very neurotic over here. Peed on another stick this morning and it was way paler than before, Iv read about the hook effect but think I'm too early for that. And my boobs are almost comfy now! Bloody hell, even on holiday I can't chill out. I have no more sticks here so will just have to wait and see. Someone give me a little slap!

Bobo, how many dpo are you? Your not out till Af arrives. Xx

Bobo - I am so sorry chick you are not out til that witch arrives what did you use? Frer? Xxx

cnchapmanxx · 16/04/2016 22:26

Aw man girls you are so so so so nice! Thank you so much to all of you really means a lot! And don't worry I won't be going anywhere like sunny said I'm staying on here I've made friends!!

He still isn't home he's been down Norwich today and was gonna wait til tomorrow to test but I'm a bugger! I'm thinking of giving him a card with it in or something or putting it on his pillow my pissy stick 😭😂

To cookie and cat mum thankyou make sure you have a good drink! I had my last drinks last Sunday and it was a good 5 pints of strongbow dark fruit..

We need more bfps!! XXXX

CatMum87 · 16/04/2016 21:39

Wow congratulations Chapman, how exciting!! First bfp since I joined this thread, may there be plenty more!!

Bobo-youre not out yet!

Thanks ladies for the advice about agnus castus, done some research and if af hasnt arrived in a few weeks, going to give it a go. Wanted everything to happen 'naturally' but maybe it needs a helping hand.

Congrats again Chapman, enjoying a nice strawberry beer in celebration for you! Xx

sparkle789 · 16/04/2016 19:56

Congratulation chapman!

Cd3 here this is dragging!

Cookie22 · 16/04/2016 19:39

Aww Bobo, sorry to hear that chick. You ain't out until the witchyface arrives! Xxx

Cookie22 · 16/04/2016 19:38

Chapman- omg Ahhh!!!!! Absolutely buzzing for you chick 🐝🐝🐝 you more than deserve this! Amazing! In the pub just now and your news has brightened my day up! Hope you all stay on this thread- I need you girlies! Will write a proper reply once I'm home! Congratulations huni xxx

BoBo90 · 16/04/2016 19:29

Awww let us know his reaction! 😊

Tested half an hour ago and bfn on frer so its all over for me this month. Gutted tbh and feel like I'm letting dh down! Next ov dates are when we are on holiday with big family group so that's going to be a pain 😒

cnchapmanxx · 16/04/2016 19:09

Thankyou high hopes!! Yes a lovely Christmas bambino 😱 Can't wait to be honest haha! Good stuff get poas when you get your fertile week/symptoms!

Bobo - I didn't feel pregnant st all apart from the massive cramps I suffered last night which had me doubled over in pain that seemed AF related now I know they weren't! Really hope your get your bfp! And not yet he's been football I don't know how to say it well surprise him think he will be in utter shock as he's quite quiet about it all tbh! XXXX

BoBo90 · 16/04/2016 18:25

I know it's such a good line! No squinting for you haha! Have you told your oh yet? 😄
I'm tempted! Holding my wee for now then going to ask dh if he wants to in an hour or so. Tbh I kinda feel it will be negative. I don't feel like af is on her way but I'm not very lucky so think I'm destined to get a bfn this time!

High- I'm sure they will be fine 😊 Fx you don't have to wait too long until ov!

HighHopes16 · 16/04/2016 18:03

Omg Congratulations chapman !! So you'll be having a Christmas baby! Smile
I picked up some opk's in the £1 shop today, hopefully they're as accurate as any other.

cnchapmanxx · 16/04/2016 17:13

Hahha bobo! I'm so naughty I just went to asda and there was a frer staring at me the last one! Why don't you test hun? Thankyou so much I'm in shock tbh.. Didn't think OH sperm worked hahah! That pic quality is so bad... Il upload another one can't believe how dark it was 😱 XXXX

Cookie22 · 16/04/2016 08:45

Morning ladies! Just realised in my last post I said I was 12dpo (haha I wish!!). I meant CD12... And now on CD15! I know I said I wasn't going to do OPKs but I couldn't help myself yesterday. Still completely neg so on the long journey still to ov!

Bobo, Chapman, how you doing ladies? I'm so amazed that you're both holding off so long before testing! Pass me some of your patience please! Your symptoms do sound v promising though. Bobo, I've heard feeling run down can be a typical symptom. And FX the cramping you're feeling Chapman is the little bean nestling in! Really hope you get your Bfps girls!

Yey Sunny, so glad it's not an ectopic! Im sure your wee lovely will be absolutely fine. It's good you're getting the scans though to be 100% sure of how things are progressing! We all hopefully won't be too far behind you!

Welcome Sparkle! I'd definitely count your withdrawal bleed as cd1!

First, so good to hear from you Mrs! Wow, can't believe you're that far along already! Things are moving fast! Has it been a relatively good pregnancy so far?

Hope you all have a lovely weekend girlies! Im unpatiently waiting to hear of your test results Chapman & Bobo! Eeek so excited xx

BoBo90 · 15/04/2016 23:04

Chapman - they sound like really good signs! Pg Symptom spotting is a bitch but your lack of af symptom spotting sounds really promising!
I guess I feel a bit different in my womb area , lots of odd cramps and pains that aren't very af like. Apart from that I can't tell if symptoms are pg related or because I'm ill haha! Like I absolutely ache everywhere! I normally ache a bit towards the end of the week (I'm a postie so my legs normally die after day 5 at work!) but not this much.
I really want to test tomorrow but dh said no I have to wait until Sunday 😩 He's so mean X

cnchapmanxx · 15/04/2016 09:16

Sunny - that is very rea assuring I don't know why I did it haha just cause it was there but I've stepped away and I'm waiting til Monday if AF holds off that long. When is your due date Hun? Mine would be Xmas or Boxing Day if I fall this month 😱
Aw bless you we will always be here haha I think that's if all of us get pregnant right away and none of us are left!

Bobo - bless you your husband sounds like mine haha! I know only til Mondsy don't know why I did it but curiosity got the better of me! Do you feel any different? I just feel shit like AF is constantly here really upset stomach but no shits which normally happens for me and acne which again hasn't if AF is going to show! XXXX x

BoBo90 · 15/04/2016 07:31

Chapman - it trally is the worst! This tww is dragging on soooo much! I woke up this morning and first thing I said to dh was 'two more sleeps till testing day' 😊 Luckily he already knew I was mad before ttc so my obsessing doesn't bother him haha 😆
I have been tempted to poa-Opk! Resisted so far! Not much longer to wait you can do it! 😊

first - you must be so excited for your scan soon! Let us all know how it goes 😊

Welcome sparkle!!! I would also count it as cd1 😊 If your not using opks jut keep an eye on your cm, fx you get a nice regular cycle straight away!

Sunnydays321 · 15/04/2016 04:30

Chapman, my opk didn't go positive until about a week after I got my bfp! If not longer! They do pick up hcg but not until it is quite high levels, they aren't as sensitive as pregnancy tests. Although I have to say when they do go positive the line is much darker than hpt. Step away from the opks. You aren't out til your out.

Welcome sparkle. I would count it as cd1... Some lucky people conceive 1st cycle off pill so 1st true cycle never arrives. I say just go for it.

Hi first. Wow 11+4. How do you feel? Have you got dating scan soon?

I'm never leaving this thread! Iv posted a couple of times on the December board but it's so busy you can't possibly know who people are, or keep up. You post something and it just gets lost amongst the masses. Xx

cnchapmanxx · 14/04/2016 21:13

I am such a nob head.
Poas on a opk stick cause it was there.. Thinking it would detect pregnancy maybe but was just a faint second line. Now I feel annoyed and just know AF will show now. Been having cramps and AF type feeling all day. 😭

Hi first good to see u back on here haha thought you had deserted us everyone seems to when they get there bfp! How are you when is your due date?

Hi sparkle! I just started trying straight away after my withdrawal bleed but it's up to you if you want to wait for your first period! Good luck and this thread is amazing and very welcoming 😀😀😀 xxx

sparkle789 · 14/04/2016 20:00

Hi can I join you all?
Took the last pill from my pack a few days ago, and my withdrawal bleed started today.
I'm not sure if this counts and cd1 cycle one, or do I wait for my first period after this and that is cycle one?

I'm not doing opks this time, I'm trying to be relaxed.

firstgo1984 · 14/04/2016 19:39

Just checking back to see how everyone is getting on.
This thread was a godsend when I was TTC. Hope everyone is well and fingers crossed for those in the TWW.
11+4 today for me and it still doesn't feel real!
