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

That's a fantastic, strong line for being only 11dpo Sunny! You must be reassured! When are you going to use the digital? I used the IC then stupidly used one of my Superdrug too before having a shower tonight. It's worse when I know I've got some to hand in the house! Def going to try and hold off until at least Friday now before using my other Superdrug or Frer not gonna lie, will probably still pee on the cheapies in between xx

Sunnydays321 · 28/03/2016 20:18

Yesterday's vs today's after the same time frame. Expensive but worth the money for reassurance. X

Ok I feel a bit better. Did the other superdrug early and definite line again. Think it was a tiny bit darker than yesterday, but not sure how much darker it should be in a day. But that's good. So note to self: step away from the cheapy tests! My boobs aren't as sore today but I'm going to stop winding myself up. My hubby sensibly said (in a sweet way) if it happens it happens and if it doesn't we will try again. And he said it would be worse if the baby was the size of a peanut or bigger! Hahaha. So he said if it's less than that lets not worry too much. I'm not sure I see his logic! Lol.

Aw cookie what dpo are you?? I tested negative even on the expensive superdrug early on 9dpo... Bfp 10dpo but all the cheap tests still negative. What tests are you using? Xx

Cookie22 · 28/03/2016 20:01

Keep us updated, Sunny! It's probably just too early for the cheapie to show! How many dpo are you now? Still no symptoms for me. I stupidly done a cheapy test today and obviously it was a bfn! Half expecting AF to arrive at any moment xx

Sunnydays321 · 28/03/2016 12:57

Oh iv just done a real cheapy £1 test and don't think there is anything on it.. I know they aren't as sensitive but I expected something as ester days was quite dark on the early test. Iv got another superdrug early test for tomorrow but don't want to waste it now as they are so expensive! And iv bought a clear blue digital but again I know they aren't very sensitive and don't want to see on £8 if it's going to be too early! Argh. X

Sunny, you must be feeling in a total whirlwind of emotions right now! Your DH sounds so cute- loved reading the vitamins comment! You should treat yourself to a CB digital- I think nothing would beat the feeling of seeing 'pregnant' showing up on the display! Yea I'm roughly 6/7 dpo today. Got my positive OPKs last Sunday and Monday, with pelvic pain starting on the Monday night into Tuesday. So I'm assuming I ov'd on Monday! Feeling nervous as my AF usually shows anywhere between 7-10 days after ov. Still no symptoms!!

Aww mummy I totally feel your frustrations Mrs! Well done on the dtd every other day- I don't think me or DH could have managed it! Will need to definitely try that next cycle though if it's a bfn in a few days xx

tinyemmy · 28/03/2016 09:14

Yay congratulations Sunny!!!

Mummy2squish · 28/03/2016 08:00

cookie just hit day 60 here and my opks are all over the place. Just don't know what to do for the best opks stress me out but with the crazy cycles i feel like i should do it! Dtd every other day for 2+months is hard work!!

Sunnydays321 · 28/03/2016 06:17

Thanks ladies, it's silly but because we haven't told anyone in RL that we were trying I feel like I have really her through all of this with you guys.

I still feel like it might not be true, and only had one test in the house! Will do another today.

Hubby was really sweet, he was really excited. I had to keep pointing out that it was very early and he probably doesn't need to read any baby books yet or talk about names! Haha. He asked if there's anything he should be doing, vitamins etc... I told him it was a bit late as his part is done!

Bobo those booties are so so cute! And that's a first attempt?? I might have to get my crochet book back out and have another go. Last time I ended up with an impressive knot and not much else!

Oh cookie, what are these opks doing to you?! What are you now, 7dpo? Xx

Thanks Mummy- I just had to rant! These cycles are driving me crazy! Where are you at in your cycle? Ps Bobo those booties are amazing, well done chick! Xx

Mummy2squish · 27/03/2016 22:38

congrats sunny fab news!!!

Mummy2squish · 27/03/2016 22:37

cookie I feel your pain with that. If I'm nitpicking it's not quite positive I don't think slightly fainter #helpful/nothelpful

Blooming cycles!!!!

Cookie22 · 27/03/2016 20:49

Why are my OPKs positive again! Argh, why why! This is so frustrating!! Sorry, had to vent!! Xx

OMG SUNNY!!! that is defo a line Hun no doubt about it!!!! Congratulations!! FlowersFlowersFlowers over the moon for you!! You so deserve this!! Such a lovelyeaster present and maybe a lovely December baby!!!! Xxxxx

Cookie22 · 27/03/2016 16:53

Aww Sunny, I really am so pleased for you! You were the first one I started speaking to on this thread (well, the previous thread) & I know the journey you've been through. It gives me hope! The line isn't even a squinter - amazing! Aw you'll need to do something like hide the test inside an Easter egg box for hubby! Tell him the bunny brought him an egg hehe!

I've got 2 Superdrug tests and 2 frer in my drawer! Will test perhaps on Friday if AF hasn't showed. Going on holiday next Monday so I need to know whether I'll be making the most of the all inclusive drinks or not lol! Here's hoping I wake up tomorrow with a pair of sore boobs! Congrats again lovely! Xx

Sunnydays321 · 27/03/2016 16:47

Yay I'm so glad someone else has seen it and I'm not just bonkers. I tested whilst hubby was out and I can't get hold of him. Think he is going to have to meet me at a family meal tonight so il have to wait until after to tell him. Easter bunny brought me a different kind of egg! 😀

The line has actually dried a bit darker. I'm just going to have to cross my fingers that the egg settles in ok.

Yeah superdrug early. When I tested at 9dpo test I had decided they were a bit crap but I take it all back.

I've had really really sore nipples and boobs last 4 days. Temps have all been up regardless of what time it taken them (iv tested it repeatedly like a loon at various times!) and I'm really tired but that just might be from a long week. And iv had what feels like ovulation pain, particularly on the right side (?? Uterus stretching, hoping the egg isn't in a tube but it would be too early to be causing pain anyway!). And the occasional very mild bit of nausea a couple of days ago but I think that was in my head!

Thanks cookie. Fingers crossed this month is lucky for you too! I didn't have any symptoms until boobs started getting sore at 6 dpo. X

Ps did you have any obvious symptoms in the tww Sunny?? Xx

Cookie22 · 27/03/2016 16:37

Omg Sunny! Amazing!! I can see the lines clearly without even zooming in! Congratulations huni. So over the moon for you!! You deserve this! Is that a Superdrug early test?! How has hubby reacted?? Ahhh lovely news!!

I'm 5/6dpo and no symptoms to report! Hoping you can spread the luck to us girlies Sunny! Xx

Sunnydays321 · 27/03/2016 16:22

Ps I'm going to feel like a total idiot if this turns out to be an evap... But it did come up faintly in the first 3 mins. Picture is at 10 mins x

OP posts:
Sunnydays321 · 27/03/2016 16:20

Urm.... Just did this, 4pm in the afternoon (haven't drunk much today and held wee for 4 hours). Tell me I'm not seeing things! 10dpo! Absolutely zilch on same test yesterday! (Well possibly the greyest evap in the world and only if I held it up against my torch like a line!) even had a glass and a half of wine last night! If this is really true and I'm not sure I believe it, then I conceived on a cycle where I ovulated on cd43! I'm going to test again tomorrow, see if it's getting darker. I'm not going to let myself get too excited as it's such such early days and I know what the rate is of things going wrong are at this stage. Plus slightly higher chance of miscarriage with pcos. Wow, sorry for rambling, I was totally expecting bfn. Thanks for all your support ladies and helping me through the craziness... I never thought it would be my turn! Xx

Sorry to hear about the BFN Sunny. Fingers crossed it's too early. I've been eating and drinking to take my mind off of the lack of cycle. I've been doing slimming workd badly for 6 months and have almost lost a stone but keep putting that pound on and off again.

cnchapmanxx · 26/03/2016 19:00

Hi girls!
Easter is going good decorating the spare room totally redoing it! I'm on cd 8 today I'm doing SMEP this month haha. So gonna do the bd tonight probably tomorrow too with it being weekend going to start doing opks tomorrow too!

Aw Shan never mind Hun fx for next month or if you've only just ov now then fx for the 2ww 😊😊

Aw sunny bless you, really hope it's your month! Short luteal phase must be so annoying! Xxx

Sunnydays321 · 26/03/2016 13:07

Hi everyone. How's your Easter weekend going? Full of chocolate I hope! I'm going to back to slimming World this week.... I've done nothing but eat for weeks now, All my clothes are tight!

I did a ic this morning. Negative. But stupidly looked hours later and possibly posibly a hint of an evap. I know it was an evap not a line but in also had really sore boobs and wanted to know before a night out tonight, so did an superdrug early test and completely negative! Boo. I know it's still early at 9dpo but think il just wait for at now. Short luteal phase so should be here in the next couple of days. Think i might be just starting to get the niggles of period pain so shouldn't be long! 😕 x

Haha Sunny yes best leave the temping alone!

I was really lucky last time. It was 99 until spotting then 39 then I got pregnant but it would have been a 60+ day cycle. This time it's been 30 days until spotting and now I'm on day 40 I think. I guess if I did ovulate yesterday then it would be something like a 54 day cycle. To be honest I could handle long cycles it's just the irregularity and not knowing so you can't plan in any way.
