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

Cookie, silver linings! 11-12dpo is good enough to get pregnant so that's good news!

Yeah Chapman, yay for positive opks!! We dtd on the day of positive and the next day (also positive ppl as mine are always positive for a couple of day) worked for us! Good luck. Get that egg!! And you bobo! Fingers crossed for you both xx

BoBo90 · 03/04/2016 12:11

chapman - you release an egg 12-36 hours after your positive! If it was darker this morning then I would call that your positive and count from then 😊 Dtd tonight and tomorrow and you should be fine!
I just got my positive today and didn't dtd last night but managed this morning and will again tonight and tomorrow!

You and I can count down the tww together! 😃 X

cnchapmanxx · 03/04/2016 11:06

Girls need your help! Finally got my positive opk this morn think I got one last night but this morning it is darker than the control line. We dtd tues night & Thursday night tried last night but DH fell asleep! We dtd this morn but DH always has trouble ejaculating on a morning (not what we need now) so we're gonna try again later. How many hours after positive opk do you ovulate and do you think il be covered if I dtd today would love to actually know when that egg releases 😭 My bbt today was 36.31 xxxx

Cookie22 · 03/04/2016 00:08

Yes, I managed to get to 11 or 12 dpo- every cloud!! Onwards and upwards! Just need to try and chill out for the next 20 days or so until ov approaches again! Xx

Thanks Sunny, it's definitely AF unfortunately! I thought we could have had 2 short luteal success stories this month but it was not to be Sad still chuffed for you chick & it really does give me hope!! Xx

Sunnydays321 · 02/04/2016 17:12

Oh cookie I'm sorry. Is it definitely af? I still have my fingers crossed that's it's implantation bleeding but if it is af then have an amazing holiday and get right on those cocktails!! Xx

Cookie22 · 02/04/2016 12:30

I go on holiday on Monday ladies but the witch got me this morning Sad it's still very light spotting only when I wipe at the moment, but I'm sure it'll amount to full blown shitty witchyface! I few we tried everything we could this cycle. So gutted!! Defo getting drunk every night on the cocktails next week!

Aw Chapman, the OPKs drove me mad this cycle too! Seemed to get a constant stream of light lines then a dark surge all of a sudden. Keep peeing on them at various times of the day! I felt 5-7pm was when I had the strongest surge. Hope it comes for you today!!

Sunny, fab news about the digi test! You'll be absolutely fine hun, try not to worry! The ICs are a load of crap I think! Don't worry yourself, try to relax (easier said than done tho- I know I'd be the same!) xx

I know I'm a lunatic! boobs definitely less sore today but I'm going to try to relax.

There is no particular temp level... It differs person to person and also month to month. Fertility friend wil average it you pre ov cycles and once you get 3 temps that are more that 0.3 higher than that average it will tell you you have likely ovulated. The actual number isn't relevant, and neither is the line it gives you, it's just a visual marker. You will need pretty much a whole month to get an idea. Xx

sunny - aw chick dont worry about it you are defo pregnant stop torturing yourself with ic sticks haha! when was you due AF? and if clearblue digi tells your pregnant then you must be there really good! Like you said if the wee is dilute your not going to get dark lines - its the same with opks the drker the wee the better! When i was 16 (and stupid) i got pregnant with my first ever boyfriend i had no symptoms what so ever until i started being sick and even then i was 9 weeks, and had nothing before. hope your ok lovely xx

thanks for the opk advice im like a mad women poas all day every day thinking ive missed it. high temps what am i looking for?? is there a number? xxx

Oh I know I'm silly but I dipped an ic this morning when I did the clear blue because I have like 40 of them... And it is so light it's barely there! The same as 13dpo! Yesterday's in the morning and afternoon were both the darkest iv had. I know the clear blue was fine but I'm worried they have got lighter. My urine was a bit more dilute this morning but now I'm worried my boobs aren't as sore. This baby stuff is a real mind f**k! In the picture the top is 13dpo, the 14dpo am and pm, 15 dpo am and pm and then this mornings! 😕.

Chapman, my opks had varying strength 2nd lines through my whole cycle, some barely there, some pretty dark. And I was always worried I'd missed it, but then it would suddenly go dark and positive and it was impossible to miss. You need a whole cycle of temps really to see any pattern and you will only get ov confirmed after 3 days of high temps. Xx

sunny - ive done two of the belt proper haha.. the first one i did i didnt do proper as i didnt leave it in my mouth long enough for the beeps. so past two days ive had 35.81 and then this morn i had 36.50 will put it in to FF and see what it says. my opks have been negative though some i dont even have a second line but then again ive have been drinking lots of water but at one point held my wee in for 4 hours and my wee was light and the opks it was v faint so hopefully get a bit darker today do they just suddenly get darker when you have your surge? getting worried i wont get one or ive missed it but ive only recently as of wed started getting a bit of ewcm! fantastic news about the clear blue! does it feel real now! xx

cookie - i feel like im getting to the point now were i refuse to miss this egg this month! I feel happy for people im not a jealous person then im like why is it not me :( haha! how are u enjoying ur hol hun?

shan - try next week hun might be too early :) xx

Sunnydays321 · 02/04/2016 07:29

Chapman, have you managed a couple of temps now? I'm not sure.. I've never had ff tell me it's not recognised. Is your bb thermometer one that reads to 2 decimal places as that's what it's after... Also is it set properly to Celsius or Fahrenheit? I guess if it's on Fahrenheit setting and you put in 36 it will think you are dead! Haha, hope you've got it working.

Cookie. Are you testing this morning? Hope the holiday with the rents is going well. What dpo are you now? 11?? That's your longest isn't it? Are you confident of ov date? Fingers crossed for you.

Shan let us know how you get on with test next week, fingers crossed it's implantation.

Well I caved and did the clear blue digital this morning. 4+2 = pregnant 2-3 weeks so on track. Yay. I'm getting a bit of right sided sharp pain and cramps. The cramps don't bother me, the one sided pain is playing on my mind a little but it feels like what I used to get mid cycle so hopefully it's nothing. Il keep an eye on it.

Happy weekend everyone...iv had a shocking week at work, lots of staff sickness and iv racked up 9 hours of time owing in 4 days! so I'm very happy it's the weekend! Xx

Cookie22 · 01/04/2016 07:19

Aw wow Chapman, yous deserve a BFP after all that BD'ing!! I might give smep a go next month if I have no success this cycle! Oh I know Mrs, it's a strange feeling when the Facebook announcement appears!! The green eyed monster inside me finds it hard not to come out!

Wel bfn on a frer today for me Sad still quietly holding onto a glimmer of hope though. I think I'm going to take my last frer on holiday with me test again once the AF deadline has passed! I don't know if I'm imagining it but boobs have felt achy at times! Not sore to touch, but a dull ache every now and then. Who knows!! Xx

cnchapmanxx · 31/03/2016 18:55

Cookie22 · 31/03/2016 17:11

You'll be glad you're OPKs are getting stronger Chapman! It's always good to see some lines developing on the OPKs! Keep us updated Mrs!

I feel so blah about it all just now! Wish I would know one way or the other. Going to hold off and test sat morning! Me and DH are holidaying with my parents and I really don't want to tell them I'm pregnant (or even that we're trying) until I know for certain. They'll know if I'm not drinking! Wish now it was just me and DH going now! Will pack some tests with me Xx

shankate182 · 31/03/2016 14:18

Well no sign of it coming back ? Like last night wasn't on my panties or dat just when I whiped it was bleeding bright red blood and was everytime I whiped so I taught it was af so put on a pad n nothing now atal? Gona test next week and again and I have a spare test 😅

Cookie22 · 31/03/2016 10:53

Sounds like possibly implantation bleeding Shan. FX for you xx

shankate182 · 31/03/2016 10:32

Cookie22 · 31/03/2016 08:43

I know Sunny, it's too tricky to tell! I really thought I could see a shadow at one point but it may just be an evap as it didn't show until after 20 mins. I'm going to hold off now until Saturday morning and use a frer. I feel like I can't tolerate this wait any longer! Xx
