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

Hmmm tricky one, thought I could see a shadow of something before I opened it.. But can't really see much when opened or zoomed. The shadow kind of looks close to the right side of the window... But looks like the control line is to the left so the test line should be a bit skewed to the left too. My evap 100% wouldn't have shown up in a picture though! Xx

Ooh Sunny, I really hope it's the same scenario as you've described! I may potentially only be 9dpo! Pic is crap and after changing my obsessive line spying to a different location (front window), I now think I may have imagined it!

Cookie, I hate to fuel the crazy but my superdrug early test had an evap on 9dpo... Absolutely nothing on it initially and then hours later I looked and tiny tiny evap, only if I tested it right held it up against the window, a light, my torch app like a mentalist. Don't want to get your hopes up as iv also had evap said in the pat, but Fingers crossed for you xx

Put a coin or something next to it and then your phone should focus!

Fx it is the faint beginning of a bfp for you 😊

Cookie22 · 31/03/2016 07:22

I'm officially going insane! It's been lying on windowsill about 25 mins now and the shadow is getting ever so slightly stronger. Possibly evap or I'm trying to convince myself it's something it's not! Have tried taking pics but bloody phone doesn't want to focus today!! Xx

Cookie22 · 31/03/2016 07:12

Peed on the Superdrug one and its bfn Sad (though I'm sitting here and tilting it & can swear there is some sort of shadow there. May crack it open!) I think I'll wait a few more days & if it's another bfn then I'll need to just go on holiday on Monday and await the witch, and test again when I come home! Xx

Cookie... So? Has the frer been peed on?

Bobo get on the smep! Hope you catch the egg in a few days.

Shan, which Everway it goes I hope you get your answer quickly as this cycle has really messed you about. Fingers crossed for implantation but if it is AF at least you can move on to next cycle. X

Hey everyone just went to the toilet and when I whiped bright red blood was on the tissue gona wait till d morning see what happens of its implantation of af ?

cnchapmanxx · 30/03/2016 23:12

Thanks sunny - I'm download FF now see if it helps me! I've got my thermometer down the side of my bed ready for tomorrow!
Your pissy sticks are so dark now Hun! All coming together for you so happy!

Cookie - same Hun I mean I don't mind it at all but when I want to dtd which even when am not ovulating and on 2ww he's glue to the thing haha! I know hope we all get bfps we will be the veterans haha!

Bobo - I don't mind tbh Hun it's just when it's fertile week I'm on tenterhooks and not wanting to miss an opportunity!

Any ways I'm cd13 - been doing opks since Monday all negative not even the sniff of a second line. I've held my wee in and the darkest it's been it's a tinge of yellow - been drinking a bit more water and takin my vitamins but thought by now LH should be creeping up. Or maybe I'm not going to ov until a bit later this cycle with being a 31 day cycle. Fx it's this weekend 😀😀 xxxx

BoBo90 · 30/03/2016 22:54

I've also have a gaming dh only I don't mind too much as I just join in. Shooting people is a surprisingly good way to relieve the ttc stress 😄

Sunny- love seeing all your pissy sticks (or lady-dippers as my dh likes to call them 😆) Nice dark lines now!!😊

Cookie - fx for you hun! I'm looking forward to seeing another bfp in the morning 😉

I've just had some ovary pain which normally means I'll ovulate in 5-7 days which is a bit earlier than last cycle 😊 Time to get smep-ing X

Sunnydays321 · 30/03/2016 20:48

Yeah do the superdrug... Think they are a bit cheaper than the frer so not a complete waste as you will still have spares for later in the week! Eak, that would be exciting! She short lp club! X

Cookie22 · 30/03/2016 19:56

Sunny- loving the pic!! You're giving me hope chick! How good would it be if we both got our bfp considering our short luteal phases! I'm def gonna test tomorrow! I have 2 frer and a Superdrug early... Might do the Superdrug one since that brought you luck! Can't get over how dark that line is!! Xx

Sunnydays321 · 30/03/2016 19:38

Chapman. We dtd 5 days before ov, just as pot luck as didn't know when I was going to ov. Then day of 1st pos opk, which turned out to be the day before ov. And then the next day, day of ov... And that was it as then DH was poorly, so not as much as some other months. I'm sure it's partly luck as to whether egg implants as much as whether it fertilises. Yeah I recommend the temping to get confirmation of ov, but t won't tell you that ovulation is imminent. Definitely definitely use fertility friend as it works t all out for you, you have to put in temps and opks, and it will tell you when you ovulated. Magic!

Cookie def not sunk in! I still don't trust it, despite about 5 positive tests now! Haha. Exciting that you are 9dpo, I have short luteal phase too, I got my 1st positive at 10dpo... I know I said no more pee sticks but just for your benefit check out my ic from today... Faintest line ever, compared with the dark line on early superdrug! Don't want to get your hopes up but pretty sure I wouldn't have seen anything on ic until 12/13dpo!! Don't wanna get your hopes too high but the ics are 100% not really 10iu... Even tho they say they are!! Do it!! Xx

Sunny, keep posting the pee sticks, I love looking at lines! Your tests look amazing hun. You must be so reassured having strong lines and you aren't even 14dpo yet! Has it sunk in yet?

Chapman, I feel your pain hun! My DH is constantly glued to the Xbox and FIFA! By the time he finishes playing I'm too tired for dtd half the time! Fx you get your peak soon. It's always ideal when it's over the weekend isn't it! It's def starting to feel a lot quieter now in here Ahhh!

I'm now 9dpo and no sign yet of a bfp or AF! Have been doing Internet cheapies since 7 dpo & all bfn! Now I've completely ran out and contemplating using one of my frer tomorrow morning at 10dpo. Would I be better waiting? If I get past tomorrow then it will have been my longest luteal phase! Xx

cnchapmanxx · 30/03/2016 09:13

Sorry was meant to say sunny they are amazing ffs I'm still half asleep haha

cnchapmanxx · 30/03/2016 09:09

Oh cookie they are amazing! So happy for you and poas all you like Hun it's so good to see its 2 lines and AF hasn't shown! There is hope for us all especially as you said you had a short Luteal!
Can I ask when did you BD? Was it on positive opk day aswell as before and after?
I've took 2 opks mon & tues and they were both negative hoping I get something today as I'm on cd12! Actually hoping I ov at the weekend so we can Dtd did it last night eventually! Also sunny your a veteran at temping I'm going to do it for tomorrow and onwards what am I looking for when I know I've ovulated?

Oh Chapman video games are very annoying! Luckily my DH isn't interested in them but I had 2 previous boyfriends who actually collected games consoles, vintage ones and things and would literally play them for 12 hours straight! I second the prancing around in your undies in front of the screen!!

Lemon, I'm happy to hear everything is going well with you. Good to hear you are getting cramps too, it doesn't quite feel like af cramps, just that something is going on in there, more pully sharp pains. Iv got no real queasiness yet just sore boobs that are coming and going. Because I will have to book with the team I work in I'm going to wait until I'm 6-7 weeks to book my appointment, I don't want them to know too early if something goes wrong.

Shan fingers crossed you have caught your ovulation.

Cookie how are your opks now? Still positive? How many dpo? You still waiting till Friday to test. Just for research sake I have dipped an opk the last three days and it's only this mornings 13dpo that it's gone positive, so it seems they are positive if you are upduffed but not till a while after preg test would pick it up. I used my last superdrug early today, was hoping it would be super dark as haven't done one for 2 days but it's only a smidge darker than 11dpo. Goo to wait until Friday or sat to do clear blue as hoping it will say 2-3 instead of 1-2. Then because I'm mental iv ordered some ics so I can do one every few days just to check (not paranoid much! Lol).

No more wee stick photos after today I promise! X

I didn't DHD the 19th but done it the next morning as DH was away so FX I caught it ? Just taught I'd let u all know lol

cnchapmanxx · 29/03/2016 13:31

shankate182 · 29/03/2016 13:24

I'm getting all excited thinking that the test is wrong but no hope?

LemonShizzleCake · 29/03/2016 13:04

Oh chapman I bloody HATE games consoles! My DH is pretty much surgically attached to his.

Have you tried putting on your best undies and standing in front of the screen? ;) Or alternatively go to bed and text him something suggestive, leaving nothing open to imagination/misinterpretation...this has worked for me in the past!

cnchapmanxx · 29/03/2016 12:58

Sunny that is a mega dark like hun! congrats again.. jsut looks like there will be me, cookie, shan, and tiny left on this page now.. i feel like were all dispanding haha! have you took the clearblue one yet??

Im in my fertile week now, was fkin livid last night rying to do this SMEP plan and the OH sat on his fkin ps4 all night. im glad im not due to be ov until the end of this week so still got chance. then he goes does it p*ss you off when i sit on here i said well yeah iots almost as if you dont want me to get pregnant. took an ov test yday was negative not even a second line! will test today and hopefully get my positive this weekend. providing we dtd this week and at teh weekend should cover it all but who knows! annoyed today haha! xxx

LemonShizzleCake · 29/03/2016 12:52

Sunny that's so exciting! Congratulations Flowers and I hope everything stays stuck where it should and you have a delightfully boring pregnancy Grin

I have been a bit quiet but still lurking. Have had first GP appt, they are saying I'm nearly 7 weeks when I am pretty sure I am only 6 (I even showed them my app, temps etc to demonstrate that I know when I ovd...) but I don't mind really as that will mean we'll get our 12 week scan a bit sooner! Just waiting to hear from the MW at the hospital to book the appointment.

All still feels very unreal and I'm petrified about something going wrong. Had some cramps over the past couple of days - they have been mild, with no bleeding, which is apparently very normal and just a sign that I'm "in tune" with my body and am just noticing everything stretching and growing into place. Still a bit scary at first. Also hope this is not a forewarning of being "in tune" with labour and feeling everything with more force and pain than is necessary! Confused

Also queasy if I don't eat every couple of hours (but haven't actually been sick, hooray), sore boobs, cold feet, and generally exhausted and want to sleep all the time. Sleep itself has been a bit crappy as I keep having very vivid dreams and waking up a lot in the night. Also need to wee all the time!

But all in all it's not as bad yet as I thought it might be. FX it stays that way.

Am still keeping an eye on you all and keeping FX for more BFPs soon Smile xxx
