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

Sorry about the multiple posts but ive not tested with an OPK before so this is exciting!
I did two Grin. First one on the left from 10 minutes ago, 2nd on from 5 minutes ago. This must mean I AM actually ovulating! Woop!! That's a relief. Know when we are ready in a couple of months we can do this! Excited Grin

Yes so far they've been 28 days :-)
May have missed it already this month but will check anyway :-) xx

Yvonne1986 · 01/02/2016 16:11

I've never left it 20mins I'm going to test again later so will leave it and see what happens x
Very exciting your OPKs have arrived are your cycles normally 28days Poin? X

Poin86 · 01/02/2016 15:50

My IC OPKs arrived today.. had to sneak them out to check it was them so the rest of the office didn't see! It says you have to let your urine sit for 20 minutes at room temperature... does anyone bother with this? Definitely can't use whilst at work then! On CD13 so if 28 so need to check to see if I am getting a LH surge at all from tonight really.xx

Yvonne1986 · 01/02/2016 15:18

These OPKs are driving me crazy I have had a faint line for days why won't it just get darker!!!! CD26 now x

Hi everyone
Stopped pill 22nd October 15 after 12 years on various different ones
Cycles seem to have returned to 28 days straight away.
Very light though so needing to check I'm actually ovulating.
Seem to be heading towards TTC late May time FX!!! OH slowly coming round to the idea haha. Was on first thread as thoughthe we were OK to go but he had a wobble so hoping it's OK to be on this one.xx

Great news about the positive OPK Chapman definitely get baby dancing!

1st of Feb today definitely our month of BFPs sending lots of baby dust to everyone xxx

Cookie22 · 31/01/2016 21:32

Wow Chapman, those lines are mega dark chick! You better get dancing! You don't think there could be a possibility you're pregnant?? Period could have been implantation?? If not then I'm chuffed for you that ov has came round so quick! I think I possibly could be hitting my peak tomorrow!. OPK was mega dark today and CB digi was flashing again. I think (and hope) it'll be a static smiley tomorrow! Xx

cnchapmanxx · 31/01/2016 20:35

Thanks Loulabelle! Tbh I'm not meant to ovulate til next week as I only finished my period on Wednesday so I'm really confused xx

Loulabelle1990 · 31/01/2016 20:33

Peacemaking!
Managed to follow from the old thread (took me a while!!) and I'm still checking in with everyone's progress and rooting for BFPS for all.
Been bit wobbly recently and trying to keep occupied and not think baby thoughts too much as not ttc just yet, think we will start trying next month.

Came off Cerazette 06.11.15
First cycle 58 days
Currently on 2nd cycle, D29
Not ttc yet - but OH and I want to start fairly soon

Good luck to all
Xxxxx

firstgo1984 · 31/01/2016 20:03

I did cave in and do an opk when i got home which was very negative but was wuite a dilute sample.
I live in hope that i had a super short surge and missed it on my opks (but in reality i don't think that is the case as it lasted 36hrs last time). I think it is more likely that I geared up to surge then didn't....

Loulabelle1990 · 31/01/2016 17:17

Interesting, thanks cockermum!

I am hoping I am ovulating, I don't want to do an opk in case it's negative and I'll be back to square one! Been off the pill 8 weeks now xx

cockermum85 · 31/01/2016 17:10

Loulabelle, this ovulation spotting can happen, I've had it a couple of times. Good luck! X

Loulabelle1990 · 31/01/2016 16:31

Hey guys, how is everyone?

I still have no period! Although yesterday I had very very slight bleeding - so small that it just looked orangey mixed in with cm and then today I have had loads of EWCM today. Maybe I am ovulating! Is there such a thing of ovulation bleeding??

firstgo1984 · 31/01/2016 16:04

Nice weekend away for me. Drank too much wine and did no opks. I think my body may have geared up for a aurge last week that never happened. Cd38 today. .. definitely going to be a long one!
