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.

Yvonne that's so lovely sharing the news with family - for me it was the best bit for DD!! Xxx

All ok here thanks Chapman - I guess I am in my tww as we DTD Sunday night after solid smiley opk on Sunday morning and nothing since then on docs orders. Assuming I ovulated within a couple of days I guess I am only 1 or 2 dpo! Feels like forever until af is due to come round which has made me a bit miserable. Bah.

I've been trying since Sept so six months this was the first cycle with OPKs tho so FX they work some magic for you all too! I did buy them in my 2nd cycle but threw them away as you do become a bit obsessed but then I decided to try using them again this cycle and they worked! DH was totally speechless! Just told his Dad tonight he was so happy he cried we did say we wouldn't tell anyone until after the scan as its such early days but we couldn't help ourselves!! Only telling close family tho xx

I hope your headaches eventually go shankate. It's not nice having headaches all the time. You must have very good willpower if you can hold off testing until March!!

Afternoon girls! Sorry I haven't been on much today I've been depressed and feeling sorry for myself 😂
I've decided this month I'm going to step it up with the opk sticks I haven't really been doing them recently but I feel like I'm missing my ov because I'm assuming I'm going to ov on day 14! So as soon as I'm off my period I'm poas!!! Woman on a mission this month!

yvonne how are you today lovely? How did DH take it?? so happy for you was it 6 months trying?? X

cookie how are you Hun has the witch showed up? Fx she hasn't and sorry for your bfn this morn it's so upsetting isn't it!

lou great news that AF has showed get using them opks!

Poin, first, sunny, bobo, eggs, lawyered, bee any news how are yous today! Xxx

Still getting these headaches :( af is due in 10 days :( hopefully the bitch stays away :) I'm going to test in March if AF doesn't arrive the 27th

Thanks poin and Yvonne. I am going to invest in some of the cheap OPK's from Amazon. When do you think the best time to start doing it will be?

I spoke to my GP about temping but he said to have to lie down for at least 30 mins beforehand and I don't think it's as accurate!

How long have you been trying for Yvonne? xx

No nothing really apart from some lower back pain how ru getting on x

Did you have any symptoms Yvonne?

Definitely get OPKS Lou! They really help with timings xx

Sorry about your BFN Cookie any sign of AF fx it's just too early still has you don't know exactly how long after your positive OPK you ovulated xx

That's a good sign you have had your first period Lou I waited so long after stopping the pill for mine! Ru going to temp or use OPKs this cycle x

Lou it'll be a proper period now I'd say. Withdrawal bleeds if you're going to get them are normally straight away.

Cookie sorry about your BFN. Still got everything crossed for you.xx

Oh wow congratulations Yvonne! You and your DH must be over the moon . It just takes patience and hard work!

Sorry about your bfn cookie, but like the others say, your not out till AF arrives!

I have had a development as AF has finally turned up. It's the first bleed I've had since coming off the pill in December, so would this be like my withdrawal bleed or a proper period! Feels like a proper period to me!

Sorry about you BFN cookie :(
At least ur cycles are back to normal xx

Agnus castus has seemed to work for me in regulating my cycles! Going from 56+ day cycles to 34/35 days. I'd definitely recommend! (Tho today is CD 34 for me & still no AF so maybe I'm in for a long one this month!) xx

Sorry about the bfn cookie, but you're not 100% out til the witch arrives.

Watching with interest bobo. I've not heard of agnus castus but I have very irregular cycles, so it might be worth a try for me.

Congratulations Yvonne!! 😄 You must be so excited! I can't wait until I get to tell dh that news must be so lovely to see their reaction 😊

Af has buggered off at last. 5-6 day period is about right compared to pre-pill so I'm hoping that's a sign you body is sorting itself out! Immow taking Agnus castus to help. Anyone here had any luck with Agnus castus and regulating cycles? X

Glad it went well telling DH Yvonne. It'll probably start sinking in today so exciting! BFN on Frer today @14dpo. Gutted! Really had my hopes up as my nipples have been very sensitive since yest morning (I never get any sort of boob pain, even around AF!). Looks like I'm just waiting for the witch to rock up now! Xx

Yvonne
I know u have me kept positive I'm just not gona give up and keep trying :) and FX I got that BFP soon :)

Well to say DH was shocked would be an understatement I think he had convinced himself it wasn't happening!! He is over the moon I was all tearful telling him it is really early days for you Shan I think you just expect it to happen 1st cycle but I go to show it does happen later on too xxxxx

Hey everyone
Yvonne how did telling DH go
About 6 people came over to me today congratulating me about the baby news 😅 but there is no baby news? Was pissing me off big time :(
Yvonne DH keeps saying the same to me that it's his fault I'm not pregnant yet? I keep telling him we are only trying 2 months but he's depressed over it big time :/

Congratulations Yvonne! So pleased for you. How did telling DH go?

I get EWCM a few days after Ovulation too so FX you caught it x

Fantastic news Yvonne! Glad to hear of a positive story tonight 😃

Anyone know why I might only have got ewcm today despite having a solid smiley on Sunday (sorry if tmi!!)? I thought ewcm usually came before positive opk? If so it looks as if I may have missed the boat as doctor said no BD for two weeks yesterday and last time we DTD was Sunday night. Bah.

Aww bless yous! Can't wait to hear about his reaction! Must be an amazing feeling knowing you've got a wee person growing inside of you! Xx
