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!

Yay bobo! Now wouldn't that be a near perfect Cycle length! And all things crossed it comes to a BFP. Lucky mr Bobo is in for a treat this weekend lol.

Don't be sorry about the opk's. I'm feeling my will power fading already before my cold turkey cycle

So temped a little later than normal as away and had a lie in. Temp has spiked back up above 37! Now it may be because I bbt later or had a few drinks last night. But given my 11 day LP I'm about 10 dpo already so just gotta hang in there a couple more days and test.

sarah I'm an absolute fish when it comes to water (and maybe alcohol ), I also have coffee in the day and I've never thought twice about it when it comes to poas or opk.

Sorry to hear about the bfn sparkle. Hugs for you.

So new thread title........

Ttc, the witch and poas

Ttc without ease, loopy length cycles, post pill poas and everything in between.

And that's me done. Oh and poas if no AF by Monday. Currently Cycle day 36

Xxx

Gutted for you sparkle. Perhaps a week away from testing and getting some relaxation in is exactly what you need? Then come back refreshed and test then if af hasn't come?

That's brilliant bobo!

Tested this morning with a frer and it's a bfn. No idea what's going on I have been sick every day for the past 5 days, felt nauseous most of the day. Cd33, and opk was on cd16.
Of on holiday for a week so I'm not sure if I'll test when away or just wait now. Absolutely gutted

Looks like a line to me too sparkle! Let us know how you get on when you test again!

Sarah I wouldn't have thought drinking lots the day before should matter too much either to be honest. If you worried then maybe try to limit your water intake a bit just in case maybe?

I'm glad your doc were helpful cookie! Is that an ultrasound of your ovaries? Hopefully that's got the ball rolling for you on a road to a BFP! Have a lovely holiday in Portugal lovely xx

Could be pregnancy symptoms pesky, or the flu or your body playing tricks on you! I get new ad symptoms every month it seems lol!

Welcome star xxx

Thanks, pesky, that was my thought too. Just wanted another opinion!

Welcome Star!

I'm glad the dr was helpful cookie, and they are going to investigate.

Welcome to the thread staron.

Newbie here!
I am 30. We decided to TTC #1 and I took my last pill on Monday. Contraception was Marvelon/Gedarel.

I had just taken 3 from a new pill packet when we decided to start trying and my normal withdrawal bleed had just finished on Friday just gone, so not expecting another withdrawal bleed as such.

Today and yesterday have had some spotting and cramping along the left hand side of my abdomen, along with increase in libido.

I have been looking forward to the libido increase as having been on the pill just a year, the difference from before that was noticable .

Fingers crossed for all you ladies.

I have fear of fertility issues as I have never had normal periods and have gone some time without periods also, unless I have been on the pill which is nothing to go by.

Secretly hoping the spotting and cramping is me ovulating and that would be a good start!

I'm no expert sarahhh1984 but I wouldn't have thought the amount you drink the day before would matter. If you've been holding it in all night then it should be pretty concentrated.

So glad your doctor was helpful Cookie22 It's such a good feeling when you feel you're been listened to. Hope the ultrasound gets to the bottom of things. Have a great time in Portugal.

Today I am exhausted and cannot even get out of bed! I slept nearly all day yesterday as well. My temp really, really dipped this morning as well (after been really high yesterday morning) I'm 7DPO, but trying not to read too much into it. It could just be flu making me feel ill? I'm so hot and head achy as well. Urgh!

Oops hit post too soon there! I would totally advise anyone with worries to just head to the doctor, even if it is less (or slightly less) than a year you have been trying for! I feel like a weight has been lifted a bit knowing something is being done now. Anyways, I hope all you lovelies are well!! Sparkle, I can totally see a line! Fx for you!

I'm off on holiday to Portugal tomorrow for a week. Looking forward to some rest and relaxation! Baby dust to you all! Xx

Hi everyone, sorry haven't been on much. Been on my usual downer since AF arrived last week! Purple I went to the docs yesterday and she was a bit more helpful than the last doctor. I mentioned the luteal phase but she wasn't overly concerned about that. She was more concerned about the painful ov symptoms so I'm await referral for an ultrasound! Wish I'd gone sooner to be honest. She did say if all was normal that I should have conceived by now, which worried me!

Not sure anyone will be able to answer this but all thoughts are welcome. I plan on testing with fmu on Sunday (assuming af doesn't make an appearance first) but the thing is I tend to drink a lot of water pretty much every day. I usually go for the recommended 8 glasses plus I have some hot drinks through the day too.

Will this affect fmu? Should I perhaps drink a bit less on Saturday (or at least Saturday afternoon/evening) to make sure Sunday's fmu is as undiluted as possible? Or will fmu be OK no matter what?

As I said, not sure if anyone will be able to advise but thought I'd ask as you never know!

Thanks sparkle.
I can def see a faint line, fx for you girl xx

That's what I can see glad I'm not imagining things. I'll retest tomorrow. It's frustrating I just want to know! ive still got one out of that pack left, should I use that or buy new ones in case it's a dodgy batch?

I can definitely see two faint lines as well. Agree with the others that you should perhaps retest. Fx for you! x

I can see two faint lines next to the test line too - definitely retest! Maybe with a Frer?

I'm sure I can see two very faint lines sparkle?

Possibly a dodgy test, but I would retest anyway. You never know!😊

Sorry af arrived purple.

Tested today and I can't tell!! There seems to be something on the test side but I don't know if it looks right. So not sure if it's positive or a dodgy test.
I've added a photo hopefully it can be seen on it. Any ideas?

Morning all. Just thought I'd add a quick post as off to Leeds for a long weekend.

Trying really not to symptom spot before AF or POAS; whichever comes first! I did have a bbt dip today at what I think is 9dpo, so decided not to test.

It's gone down to 36.6 which is well above coverline but an average figure for me the day before AF Starts. So it's either the witch is on her way, or an implantation dip. If AF doesn't show this weekend I'll poas Sunday or Monday.

Did any of our resident preggos have an implantation dip, and if so, at how many dpo?

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend x

Cookie did you go to the docs? My luteal phase was only 9 days too. :( x

Hi girls,

Haven't been on here much as I've been so busy, but AF came today with a vengeance.
So onwards and upwards to cycle 3. Sigh.

Hope everyone is ok X

Thanks Sarahhh, best of luck to you and Sparkle too
