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

Poin86 · 15/02/2016 19:50

Well, if I'm not on by the end of the week I will test yes but I will be! Lol, sure of it! I'm still impressed by my OPKs too Planeteer Grin hopefully that will lend itself to being able to conceive well and quickly!xx

Cookie22 · 15/02/2016 19:47

Only*

Cookie22 · 15/02/2016 19:46

Poin, don't read too much into the neg OPK! Ours could be positive because AF is due! Planeteer thanks for the advice, lovely. It's very uplifting to hear your positive story! Trying to keep my hopes up but at the same time don't want to be too depressed if/when AF arrives. Have just ordered another frer off eBay (on £3!) so should hopefully arrive on Thursday and will use my other one on weds. Xx

Yvonne1986 · 15/02/2016 19:44

My positive OPK was two weeks last Wed the 3rd so thought I prob OV on the 4th so expecting AF on Thurs I'm so confused on when to do a FRER now x

firstgo1984 · 15/02/2016 19:44

Thanks planet. Now symptom spotting as a distraction. Cramping 8dpo ?implantation

Cookie22 · 15/02/2016 19:42

Ooh Fx First! Could it be implantation? Sounds promising xx

thisisbloodyridiculous · 15/02/2016 19:40

I'm with you ladies I'm so impatient already!!!!

Planeteer · 15/02/2016 19:40

Argh, bold fail.

Planeteer · 15/02/2016 19:39

Cookie yep, got three days of big opk positives, assumed I was ovulating and dtd like a woman possessed then did another opk 3 days later and it immediately came up insanely dark. Got my bfp the next morning. Still no bloody idea how far along I am though!! I reckon test weds morning if no sign of AF, but don't bother with an Internet cheapie as you'll want something more sensitive probs.

Poin those symptoms are sounding pretty positive. That plus your crazy dark opks... Really hope this is your month! Maybe an FRER near the end of the week?

Yvonne* that's a good looking opk! When's AF due for you?

Chapman so pleased it was good news for you this morning at the clinic. What a relief. First, good luck for thurs, will be thinking of you.

Sunny, how are you doing lovely? Haven't heard from you in a wee while. Hope you're ok.

Poin86 · 15/02/2016 19:38

Just did an OPK and it's negative. Extremely faint test line.xx

Yvonne1986 · 15/02/2016 19:36

Yea Chapman test so we can all be totally confused together! X

firstgo1984 · 15/02/2016 19:36

Got a few cramps this afternoon and evening. 8dpo...

Cookie22 · 15/02/2016 19:30

Yes Chapman, test with your OPKs! God, what have I started haha! Go do one Grin xx

Poin86 · 15/02/2016 19:29

Yvonne I get you. I'm very sure I'm not pregnant though and it's just wishful thinking!!

Cookie - app says 17th (although it also says due today). I just don't want to wastep it when I'm not.

Planteer have had various over the past week... Nothing has been constant though (add on and off after each symptom..can't be bothered to type every time lol). Tired, achy boobs, bloating, cramps, headaches, moody, creamy cm which is now a bit watery, frequentish weeing, gassy, feeling a bit rubbish.. I strongly believe it's just PMT symptoms so expect a post in a day or so about AF in for a visit!!

Yvonne so a positive OPK can mean pregnant or due to start AF?xx

Cookie22 · 15/02/2016 19:29

Ahh Yvonne, what is going on with us?! Yes googling has drove me to despair tonight! Think I've broke the search box. It's pretty much 50/50 with regards to it being a sign of AFs imminent arrival or early pregnancy! Def do a frer Mrs. Think I'm going to keep my last one to Weds morning and see if AF appears before that.

Planeteer, thanks for the info hun! Did you get positive OPKs before testing? My AF is due tomorrow or weds. I'm on cd33 and precious cycles have been 34 days. Trying to stay hopeful but zero symptoms!

Ooh Chapman, you're doing so well being able to resist using the Superdrug test when it's sitting in your drawer! Have you had any symptoms today? This whole process is just so frustrating! Xx

cnchapmanxx · 15/02/2016 19:25

yvonne oh wow that looks mega positive! hoping its a +ve lovely and not AF i might test tonight using my opks to see if i get a positive!

Yvonne1986 · 15/02/2016 19:16

I'm definitely buying a FRER tomorrow!! if only we new what this meant!!! X

cnchapmanxx · 15/02/2016 19:06

cookie i know im very happy about my results! and no i used a cheapie one. the frer iv got is in my draw at work well actually is the superdrug early results one that i dont dare use! im going to try and hold out til friday thats if AF doesnt show before hand. them opks can pick up pregnancy but i dont know whether they are more sensitive than the cheapie pg tests. xx

yvonne thanku lovely have u tested yet?? FX for you!! xx

Yvonne1986 · 15/02/2016 19:06

Googling all this OPK and its all pretty mixed so could be either a sign of a BFP or a sign of AF arriving soon! Actually driving myself crazy Confused

Planeteer · 15/02/2016 18:55

Just popping up to see how you're doing and sending lots of luck to you all.
Cookie I don't know about lh surge pre AF but it was a mega positive opk that made me think about testing. Remind me when AF is due?

Yvonne let us know how you get on with the opks. You don't need FMU for 'em so this evening should give an accurate result.

Poin what sort of symptoms have you got?

Yvonne1986 · 15/02/2016 18:53

I'm definitely buying a FRER tomorrow!! Shock if only we new what this meant!!! X

Cookie22 · 15/02/2016 18:33

Poin, when are you due? You should do a test! I agree Mrs, all I can think about it babies. Literally 5 mins ago 2 people on my Facebook just announced their pregnancies. I feel very envious (but happy for them!).

Ooh do let us know Yvonne! xx

Yvonne1986 · 15/02/2016 18:30

I'm the same Poin it's crazy isn't it I think that's why I don't want to test as I'm in my own happy baby bubble already Blush I need to tho or I'm going to be seriously disappointed if AF arrives! I don't have a FRER as I now it would be too much temptation but I'm going to try a OPK in a little x

Yvonne1986 · 15/02/2016 18:22

I'll test next time I need a wee I'll let you know how I get on!! Xx
