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.

thanks girls you lot are saviours!

yvonne what is the best FRER? i can go and get one after work! but really thinking its gonna be a bfn. I probably think that ov stick i had on the 31st was priobably a LH surge from having my AF. im in the same boat with you sometimes people say when they are pregnant they dont get any symptoms until like 4-6 weeks! fx for u x

poin 7 days til AF could be early signs of pg you are off the pill arent you? and your not using any contraception? or could be your body gearing up for AF. xx

Welcome Thisisbloodyridiculous (Not sure how you want that shortened ) There is a chance it could be implantation bleeding but sounds like it could be withdrawal still. The chemicals can stay in your system a while. When did you have unprotected sex last? If you're still thinking it could be that you have fallen straight away, count 14 days from the date you had sex and test? FX for you!!

Chapman - maybe give it a couple of days and do another test? Keep DTD just in case for some reason you are having another LH surge!

Lou good news the Dr seems positive and is sending you for the tests just in case!

Any ideas? We haven't actively tried this month but very gassy, bloated, tired, hot face, crampy, achy boobs on and off...very unlikely to be pregnant but hoping i'm not in for a bad period - it's been quite easy since stopping the pill bleeding and pain wise! Due on 17th.xx

Welcome thisisbloodridiculous I had loads of really similar symptoms the first month I stopped the pill too it might just be your body getting back to normal!?

Loulabella that's really good your GP has ordered some tests hopefully that will make you a bit less stressed, really positive signs of OV I always get really sore nipples too!

Chapman I definitely think you should do a FRER with FMU tomorrow if you can?!

I'm now 6dpo no pregnancy signs at all not even creamy CM now!? Keeping my FX tho anyway xx

Girls I'm going crazy I don't know what to do.. I posted this on another forum but what do yous think??

I had my AF on the 13th Jan and using my app i would OV at the end of Jan between the 22-28th. However i then had another AF on the 25th Jan to the 27th Jan so altered my app to show my details. It said i would then ov between the 7th-12th Feb. Anyway on the off chance i did an opk test on sunday 31st Jan and it was really positive and i had a lot of EWCM so me and DH dtd on sat 30th and mon 1st then again on thurs 4th.

My original AF due date was today and nothing has arrived and ttheres no ewcm so i took a pg test one of them hcp 10mIU ones and it was negative also decided to take a opk test cause that was a higher mIU of 20 and that had a faint second line - so i dont know wheter thats purely because im due to ov soon or its picked up the pregnancy hormone!

I really dont know what to do whether to just keep DTD and wait until the 21st Feb or keep PG testing as if i did OV on the 31st il be 10dpo.
Xxxxx

Congratulations planet! Have you had any bleed since stopping birth control?

So I went to the doctors yesterday as I still haven't had a bleed or anything since stopping the pill in December. He just said it's completely normal and just waiting for my cycle go back to normal. He said the birth control effectively send your ovaries to sleep so they just need to wake up lol!

Anyway he's sure everything is fine with me, but sent me for some blood tests and also an ultrasound of my ovaries just so we know everything (hopefully) is fine!

Just a waiting game now :-).

I think I may have ovulated last week as I had a load of EWCM and only symptoms now is sensitive nipples (DP isn't allowed to touch them cos it's too painful!) and slight cramping. Who knows!

Ps big congrats to planteer for your exciting BFP

Please can I join? You seem like a lovely bunch & I've been following for a while
I finished my last pill pack a few weeks ago and had last day of withdrawal bleed on Sat but today and yesterday I've been feeling so strange really bloated, desire to eat everything & funny feelings not quite like cramps in my womb-y area. Today I had some brown discharge this morning but seems to have stopped now. Got a sort of pokey feeling in my abdomen & been exhausted all week. Is this normal?
Spoken to my best friend who thinks it might be implantation bleeding as we last DTD 11 days ago but that's surely impossible? Going a bit mad!

OMG huge congratulations planteer brillant I know February is our month for the BFP :) soo happy and brillant present before valentines days it mad that ur 3 weeks plus but didn't show up last week without IB gives us all hope and thinking positive :)
I should ov Thursday but on my app it say sat and my app isn't wrong as was spot on last month when AF was due but DTD the last few nights giving it a break toll DH comes home which is sat so hope I don't ov before that an miss it like last month :( FX for all testing 💕

Congratulations Planteer!!! that's such great news!

Cookie - I'm going to test in Sunday which will be 13dpo hoping for a surprise Valentine gift for dh but not overly hopeful. So far all I've had is some cramping on 5/6dpo which has disappeared now I thought af was on her way but maybe not for a few more days or fx not at all x

Congratulations Planteer!!! Great news that's why you were getting those random tests!!

FX for you Yvonne and Cookie - hope you find out what's going on soon Chapman!

Nothing to report here. Feel a bit rubbish, creamy cm, sore boobs and a bit crampy. Seemingly normal 8 days off period (due 17th)

Enjoying pancake day? Not feeling it this year, they taste rank tonight to me and I've messed all mine up , though I can smell salmon - proper odd! Had this a few months back and my chicken smelt of eggs! I have that type of nose lol.xx

yvonne not goong to test again on Thurs no

planeteer i have no idea. firstly my original AF i had was on the 13th Jan which would mean im due today!! however i had another bleed on the 25th Jan because i took that one pill which if i then counted my normal 28 day cycle i would be due on the 21st Jan. However i have no ewcm at all down there its really dry and i do know when i did have that positive opk i did have a lot of ewcm! im so confused i dont even know what DPO im on or if i even OV'd on the 31st Jan xx

First with your job you must be thinking of all things TTC 24hours a day at least I get some escape when I'm in work and too busy to think!! Ru still going to test on thurs before your doctors phone app?

Cookie I'm going to try and wait until 1 day after AF is due which will be a week Fri although I'm not sure I will be able to wait! My CM sounds similar Fx this is a good sign for us both! I have read implantation bleeding is quite rare so don't worry x

Also cookie twins???!! Gulp!! Do dark lines potentially mean that?!

Thanks lovelies. Really hoping for happy news for you guys soon!! Chapman definitely not everyone gets implantation bleeding. When do you reckon AF is due?

I really want to test haha! But I have no idea if I Actuallt did ovulate or its my body playing tricks on me! I have had no IMplantetion bleeding at all, does everyone get it?
Ovia says I should test in 3 days so I'm going to try and hold out til the 12th! Hoping planeteers good news Brings luck to us all xxx

Omg congrats Planeteer! Amazing news! So happy for you huni! Really strong lines too... Could be twins lol! Hope you're our good luck charm and send some Bfps our way xx

Yvonne no symptoms for me either tho have had quite a lot of cm too!! Tmi alert but it's been a mixture of ewcm/creamy and stretchy! Very strange!! Hoping it could be a good sign as I've had nothing else to report on. Was hoping to test with a FRER on Sunday for Valentines as I would be 11dpo (still very early but would be a miracle if I got that far without AF showing!!) will see! When are you testing Mrs? Xx

Congrats! planeteer glad we encouraged you to test!

yvonne O&G doc. I think me being on here shows we can be as confused as anyone else!

Bless you babe so happy for you! Congrats! planeteer hoping we get some more bfps soon!!

I know chapman, it's bonkers! Got a bfn a week ago so was totally gobsmacked to see 3+ weeks today!! V odd feeling to not know how far along I am, and symptoms so far still pretty minimal so it doesn't feel real!

Omg planeteer that's amazing news congratulations!!! I wonder when you fell pregnant then if you've been having all these signs cause you were getting mad opks!! Xxx

Hi ladies, hope you're all ok. I tested this morning and am in shock!

Line appeared immediately and have just done a CB digital and got 3+ weeks!!! Can't quite believe it!

Over the moon while still confused given -ve opks and bfns inc last Monday haha. Sending loads of luck to you all. Who's next to test?

First that's such a perk of the job being able to scan yourself!! What do you do? X

Cd47 today
