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.

I'm so torn about when to test I've always said I would be wait until Friday as AF is due on Thurs which would be 14 dpo! But I don't think I can wait that long plus I dread AF arriving when I'm in work on Wed or Thurs as I know I'm going to be so emotional if it does!! I'm sure it will be AF as I have no signs apart from spots and feeling more emotional which I always get before AF xx

first defo im losing the will here though i genuienly think having that mini bleed during january has well and truely messed my cycle up!
6dpo oh wow it goes so slow doesnt it!! when are you testing?

cn sensible to wait until 14dpo now.
I'm 6dpo. It's going slowly!
Fx for us all!

Morning girls!
how is everyone?
no sign of AF and im not going to do a test now til monday as technically that would be 14dpo! Off to watch sunderland play today then having a lovely 3 course meal with the DH. what is everyone else getting up to?

cookie yeah i defo agree with you on that one hopefully we can get our bfps together are u still going to test sunday! fx for you cant wait!! xx
yvonne spots can be a good thing i dont know whether u get them when ur due on AF but i do terrible all on my chin so i know when im due haha if you dont might be a sign! when are u testing next week??
planeteer dont know how u havent told them yet i would be bursting at the seems!! mothers day seems so far away!! :( xx

Fx for you on Sunday cookie and bee. A valentines bfp would be pretty special!!

I'm ok thanks cookie, just really impatient haha. Managed to see gp yday, but because my cycles are so mad they struggled to work out how far along I am. They reckon anywhere between 2 and 6 weeks... I reckon I'm probably somewhere around 4. Anyway, have to have blood test on tues to look at HCG levels and that will hopefully help, and after that they'll refer me to a midwife. Definitely won't have a booking in appointment until mid March, as they don't want to refer me too early (annoying!) so am just trying to be patient.

Desperate to tell my parents but want to wait and find out a bit more about where things are first. Hoping I can hold out until the 6th and then tell them on Mother's Day

What are everyone's weekend plans? Xx

Also am getting loads of spots on my chin :(

Also ladies
My AF is due the 27th February if it doesn't arrive when's the best time to test??

Cookie
My fertile window is going since Monday and I had dhd Monday and last night and gona try tomorrow and Sunday aswel cus I should ov Sunday :)

Good luck testing on Sun Cookie I definitely think today it a bit early to test! FX for you too Thisisbloodyrediculous

Nothing exciting to report from me I'm now 8/9 dpo depending on when you count from I'm definitely very hormonal and have a face full of spots which could be either AF or BFP keeping everything crossed its a BFP I'll wait to see if AF arrives Thurs then test Fri if not!

Have a lovely weekend everyone xxx

I think I got a bit carried away with myself earlier when I seen that faint, faint FAINT line come up... The more I think about it, the more I think I'm letting my imagination run away with itself. Thanks for all your advice ladies

Chapman, sorry to hear about your bfn hun. Hopefully it is just too early & defnintely keep your other test and retest in a few days.

Planeteer, how are you doing? When is your first 'booking in' midwife appointment? So excited for you!

Poin, hope you're well! Where are you at in your cycle? Yvonne, how are you doing?? Shankate. Hope you're managing to jump on DH lol. Is that you entering your fertile window now?

Ooh bee - test twinnies! How many dpo will you be on Sunday? I'll only be 11dpo but don't think I can hold out much longer xx

Cookie we can be testing buddies on Sunday morning

FX for you cookie 💕

Cookie I can see something but agree it could be an evap as it could be a touch too early. FX for the FRER.xx

first thats so nice of her to fit you in fx we have some good luck and its nothing to worry about!

Cookie i can see a slight line but may be an evap like planeteer said then again im viewing it on a pc and im blind as a bat anyway i wear contacts. i would defo use a frer superdrug one tomorrow!! fx for you lovely!!

xxx

I'll test with a frer Sunday I think as I know it's still very early. I have 2 in my drawer so it's very hard to resist doing one! Hope yous are well! Glad your doctor has squeezed you in first, they sound on the ball. Xx

cn my Gp was great today. I rang at 11.30 after a night shift. duty doctor called back at 12.30.
they had no appointment slots available until tuesday but given it was going to be very difficult for me to get time of twice from my busy rota at work she squeezed me in as an extra.
very grateful. 2 fingers up to Jeremy *unt who acts like us junior docs have got no sense of vocation.

Cookie I think I can see something but it could be an evap line. Definitely worth getting an FRER (or a superdrug own brand as slightly cheaper) and testing with FMU tomorrow. Fx for you!!! Xx

cookie why don't you get a FRER? really difficult to interpret that.

This is ridiculous I know! Only 9dpo but convincing myself this could possibly be the start of a shadow forming. Came up within 5 mins but photo isn't very clear! Ah why do I do this to myself- I know it's waaaay to early to test! Especially with Internet cheapy!! Xx

first yeah they are really good youll probably get a phone call on mon/tues hopefully!

that is pretty quick! my gp said to expect a phone call in the next 3 working days.

first i had my doctors appt on tuesday and my letter came on thursday to attend durham hospital so they are pretty hot off the mark! I will defo let u know supposedly takes about 2-3 hours!
this 2ww is stressing me out aswell i promised myself i wouldn't get too stressed and try take a laid back approach but i have failed! haha xx

cn let us know how you get on at your appointment on monday. mine will be some time in the next 2 weeks.

Lump might even disappear once AF arrives... as I said before i am sure i felt something similar that went away last cycle. I reckon there is an area that is responding to hormones.

cn trying not to stress over it as I suspect the most likely thing is it something benign.

Around ovulation and the 2ww period is not the best time to check your breasts according to most websites, but I wasn't going to just ignore it once I felt it.

yvonne if i went from that positive opk on 31st Jan and i ovulated say the monday 1st feb i would be 11dpo and im pretty sure superdrug tests can pick up early results. or unless the bugger isnt showing.. or i didnt ovulate at all haha and im wasting poas for nothing!

I know hun isnt it strange im hoping everything will be ok! xx how are you?
