Ttc after stopping the pill thread 3. Join us for: Super long cycles, living in limbo, obscene amounts of poas and trying anything and everything to get that bun in the oven!

That's wonderful news Jj, so happy for you!!

Bobo, I'm in the same boat as Claire re nabothian cyst. It's good in a way that you're regularly checking to see if there are any changes. My guess is that you can get it seen by a doctor or sexual health nurse? Then they can decide what course of action (if any) to take. From what I've read, it doesn't impact on fertility/conceiving.

In case anyone is interested, I'm posting the results of my "experiment" . For me, the OPKs from amazon worked best, and I think I was able to detect my LH surge. I couldn't find the sensitivity range for the CB dual OPK, but I think it's not sensitive enough for me. I've added my BBT and when EWCM appeared, to show that it very likely correlates with ovulation. I think I'll be using the amazon strips from now on! Into the tww I go! Fx for everyone

Ah jjspoon That's amazing! Congratulations and what a clear bfp! So happy for you.

bobo I have this too and have had a small bump on my cervix too. When I had a smear test a couple of years ago the nurse said it was likely to be a nabothian cyst which is harmless. All my smear tests have come back normal so not worried. They are fairly common and I've noticed a change in size recently according to where I am in my cycle. It gets bigger in the 2ww for some reason! If you are worried though get it checked out just for your peace of mind.

I will do another test tomorrow if no AF by then. Feeling more crampy this afternoon though and pinprick size red blood on toilet paper earlier. Trying to think positive but we will see!

Thanks everyone :). I didn't do any tests or temping so just judged my ov date by cm and a big increase in libido lol and I think it happened on cd15. Today is cd28 so 13dpo.

bobo I've been attempting to check my cervix but tbh it always felt the same, no changes really and it always seemed really low so I have no advice there sorry!

purple I had no symptoms compared to what i expected, I was really expecting a BFN due to lack of them. I've been feeling a bit dizzy when I stand up sometimes but it's so early on I have no idea if that can be related or not. I've had cramps the last 2 days just like mild af ones but obviously no af turned up. Apart from that I just feel fine! No pmt or emotional wreck like I was last month before af turned up and no sickness or even sore boobs yet luckily!

cookie I guessed ovulation at cd15 and we dtd cd10, 12, 15 and 17 so nearly every other day. To be honest I'm really shocked still, I didn't even know if I was ovulating again yet and wasn't sure we had done it enough but must have done! We haven't done it since... poor OH lol but we've been moving house the last week so just haven't found the time. Hope this helps :)

Wow congratulations JJ! Amazing news!! How many dpo are you?? Claire and Bobo, hoping your Bfns are still just a reluctant positive bean that's taking its time to show! You ain't out till the witch rocks up ladies!

Quick question (especially for those who got their Bfps!), how many days should you still keep up the dancing once ov has happened?! I think I dtd too often on the build up then as soon as the neg OPK shows I put my feet up and stop. Maybe this is where I'm going wrong?! Who knows! Xx

Ha I meant a bfn!! clearly have bfp on the brain!!!

Aahh jj congrats!!!!! Just thought I'd check in briefly from Italy and this is super exciting news!

CD33 here, no sign of AF. Caved and poas this morning, just an IC (have a Frer stashed for later in holiday if needs be!) was a bfp. The waiting game continues...I had such a horrible stressful month at work I wonder if AF will be even more delayed than last few cycles...

Bobo I do, it's hard to tell isn't it. I always feel like mine is low but can never tell if it open or closed. If you think it's a cyst though I'd go get it checked to be on safe side.
Xx

Agh Jj!! Congratulations lovely!! Soo happy for you, how many Dpo are you? Did you have any obvious symptoms? Xx

Congratulations Jj! And fx that you see your BFP soon, BoBo.

I'm now in the midst of Mystery Cycle (aka Cycle #1). Withdrawal bleed is over so need to see if/when AF turns up, with lots of DTD in the meantime!

Keep wishful thinking that it will show up nice and regular or I conceive in the interim and don't have to worry about it!

Xx

Oh sorry bobo just read you got bfn earlier... I posted without reading up to date in my haste and shock. Fx for you anyway...

Thanks bobo!!!! I'm in complete shock at the moment..... defo need to go and buy another one now. When will you test again? Still no af for you yet?

Oh wow...someone tell me I'm not crazy .....

poin oh I am so sorry love! Hope you're doing ok and I know it won't mean much from an Internet stranger but trust me it will get better

Good news about the egg popping cookie go attack your dh! Haha

I tested this morning at 10dpo but bfn for me. Will try again tomorrow if no AF by then. I am not feeling positive as I don't feel any different to the last 2 months, backache and crampy, bad skin so i am sure the witch is on her way. Would love to be proved wrong!

Oh God Poin, what an absolute fucker!! Hope you're ok doll. It may not seem like it at the moment but things will get better in time. Hopefully karma will catch up with him too! Hugs lovely

Did you test today Bobo? I'm feeling that horrible pain again in my lower abdomen so I take it the eggo has poppedo! Again, I feel like we couldn't have tried harder with the dancing - fri night, sat morning, sun morning and night and last night. Will try for tonight just to cover all bases (if this horrible pain goes away) #exhausted who else is next to test? Xx

purple Ginet is a combined pill, I'm in NZ so possibly called something different in the UK? Gosh 75 days! How has it been since? Last month I just used Ovia to predict my fertile week. This month I have bought some OPK so will try them out. I have ordered a thermometer too. It is so easy to get completely wrapped up in it. I swing between I'll just see what happens and then obsessing over it all again. Silly.

mishy how interesting! Looking forward to an update :)

Poin I am so sorry to hear what your going through. Hugs .

Sorry about your bfn bobo! Fx your not out just yet!

I am feeling really depressed, been getting flashing smiley now for 7 days and no peak and if I do get my peak it means my cycle is longer than the last one! I just want to stop testing now, last month I had 5 highs and then my peak, only thing which is different this month is I started taking seven seas trying for a baby, not sure if that would affect it. I am wondering also whether my LH surge was too little to pick up or I am simply not ovulating this month?? I got all the signs last week - EWCM, ov pain etc but has all stopped now!!

Don't know what to think xx

Poin, that's so awful, I'm sorry you have to go through this. Lots of hugs, and hoping that time will help make things better.

purple, the temps are looking much better! The fluctuations are around 36.2 and 36.5 as opposed to 36 and 37.5! I've also had some interesting results from my OPK experiment. I'll post a proper summary later this month, but I'm fairly certain I got a peak fertility reading yesterday with the OPK strip. The CB digital has only given me high fertility over the last few days, but no peak reading. So there's a chance I actually have ovulated this month, and the CB digital didn't pick it up.

I'm now going to look up the sensitivity of each test, find out if that's got something to do with getting conflicting results.

Anna good news about AF, hope your cycles are getting back to normal . And thanks Bobo for updating the list!

Morning Anna,
Oh I've never heard of that was it a mini or combined pill?
I came off back in March, so my first cycle was 75 days long! I dint know what on earth was going on, I temp and use OPKs but I've tried to be a bit more relaxed about it this cycle, you can drive yourself crazy can't you?
How about you?
Xx

Hi purpleviola, yes I'm pleased I wasn't waiting longer it was starting to stress me a bit. I was on Ginet. How about you?

How are you tracking ov?

Oh crap Poin that's so awful bless you. I seriously wonder what the hell is wrong with some people. You are worth so so much more than that, take care lovely xxx

Anna that's so lucky, which pill were you on?

Currently cycle 2 cd 15 and still waiting for ov, think my cycles are still settling themselves down so god knows how long I'll be waiting.

AF arrived today making my first cycle off the pill 37 days. Thinking of starting temping this month.
