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!

Hi,
Cookie, Sunny thankyou so much for your reply bless you, I was having such a stressful day yesterday and just been getting so stressed in general about the whole thing that your message put in all in perspective in that I just need to chill out.
Yeah first cycle off pill and I've had a few patches of ov pains. And def not pg.
I think I am going to stop charting as you say until I get AF, it's so draining isn't it checking and doing OPKs constantly.
How are you both feeling anyway? Cookie did you get any stronger lines on your OPKs?
Sunny Any more symptoms? When is your scan?

Also lol at the sex cheerleader thing haha.

Thanks girls for picking me up, been feeling a little down lately, going away next week and I really can't wait for a break! Xx

Purple, I think it's pretty hard to read that chart. Just remind me is this 1st cycle off pill? I imagine your hormones are still all over the place. I didn't temp until I was a few cycles in so I can't really shed any light, but I think I ovulated on cd88 my 1st cycle going by symptoms and when I came on. I don't think it's unusual to have annovulatory cycle the 1st one. Have you had any symptoms of ov? I think you can safely say you didn't ovulate when ff says you did (unless you are pregnant, have you checked) because a 28 day luteal phase is fairly impossible. I have to be honest, waiting it out the first cycle worked for me (I know it's frustrating) but it took me ten months to have a period the 1st time I stopped my pill, and this time was 3 and 1/2 months... I just couldn't bring myself to temp and opk all that time. So if it's stressing you out I would say stop for this cycle, dtd every few days, and once you've had an af get back on it. But obviously you have started now and if you find it helpful keep going and it should at some point become clearer on the Chart.

Well done cookie, sounds like you've got it covered!

Marmite I felt like such a naughty school girl buying tests in the local shops... Hid them under the other items (sometimes bought un-needed other items just to have something to hide them under!!) so people didn't catch me out! X

Aaaaaand the coy little minx has finally arrived! Which makes that cycle 36 days (by half an hour!) after previous 37 day cycle. At least it's kinda going in the right direction...! So I guess in terms of next cycle I base timings etc around another 36 day cycle?! Which I guess means I'll be testing very end of June/early July?? Seems a v long time!!

Oh wow everyone has been very busy on here!

Very jealous of your holiday chapman!

I have read e regimes posts but there too many to reply to individually so apologies!!

Oooh FRER are bogof in boots?? I never knew this! Will have to invest in some if the offer is still on this weekend!

Congratulations lawyered! Did you have any symptoms??

I am currently 5DPO. it's going so slow! AF is due next Thursday if I go by last cycle xxx

Haha May, Claire i know, was trying to play it cool but just ended up feeling like a sneaky teenager!!

Going to poas with fmu tomorrow if still no AF. Have realised that the clearblue I used earlier in the week was actually only 25 sensitivity (whatever the actual measurement is)....

marmite I am laughing at you buying pregnancy tests near work because I was exactly the same buying my preconception vitamins! I was in the queue panicking that someone would see me!

cookie I tested this morning (at 10dpo) and bfn. I even took the thing apart and was squinting at it like a mad woman! Lol. It could be just too early but I just don't feel like this is my month. I always thought I would know before doing a test and I don't feel any different at all... I he a few more tests so will do another one tomorrow if AF hasn't got me by then!

Ooh sorry, never realised there was a page 15 when I replied! Haha Sunny thanks for being my sex cheerleader! Maybe I should dress up as one in order to seduce DH again tonight! We've been trying hard with the dancing but I want to keep going for another few days, the even tho I think I've def ov'd today!

Purple, I find temping really difficult to do and to interpret! Did you have any ov pains or anything this month? It's so frustrating being in limbo and not knowing what's going on! xx

Hi ladies been very busy on here!

CD9 here! I have been trying to chill out a bit so haven't been on as much. Got a holiday coming up so just trying to relax and look forward to that!

I have read back though so all caught up! Welcome to all the newbies that joined in the meantime!

Congratulations lawyered! Think we were def due another bfp!

Buying pregnancy tests near work made me laugh! Don't think I am brave enough I was panicking buying folic acid near mine!

Wow huge congrats to you Lawyer! Amazing news!! Here's to a happy, healthy and relatively boring pregnancy! Our resident preggo list is growing!!

Glad you're having a fun holiday Chapman! You deserve it after all the ttc stress the past few months! I bet you and hubby are enjoying relaxing and talking about all things baby now!

Haha Bobo you do make me laugh doll! Here's hoping the spermo can seduce Mrs eggo. Cmon egg, fall for his charms!! I'm officially 0dpo today woo!! Scarily dark OPK last night, still positive this morning but has now got ever so slightly lighter. Def had my usual pelvic/ov pains this morning. Its usually unbearably sore for a few days but the pain seems to have passed really quickly this month. I'm taking it as a good sign as I was really worried about my monthly pelvic/UTI pains around ov!

Who's next to test? Is it Claire? Any signs lovely? Xx

I'm 11dpo Sunny. Did a test yesterday morning and it only showed a tiny smidgen of a line (you really had to squint very hard) outside the time period so I didn't take it as anything. But a niggle told me to test again and 2 clear positives today. Hopefully it will all be ok - have my fingers crossed for you ladies for some good news soon!! Xx

How are your OPKs going cookie?
I'm CD
Would anyone who temp charts mind giving me their opinion on mine, pic attached. Did anyone else's look like this when they came off? I've been off since March but the chart shows when I started temping from, up to D39 I was temping orally, then thought I'd try the other way as I'd heard it was more accurate. FF has put the cover line on but I'm pretty sure it isn't accurate as I haven't had AF yet.
My temp went up yesterday and I thought I might have been OV, but now it's back down again.
Soo fed up
Sorry for rant girls xx

Eek congratulations lawyered!!

I've just popped out on my lunch break to boots to take advantage of the bogof on FRERs! Felt so aware of the fact that I was just around the corner from the office and in a queue full of office workers buying meal deals haha. They are burning a hole in my bag now...

Amazing news lawyered! Congratulations!! How many dpo are you? Look at the list grow!

Cookie fabulous opk! Get on it woman!! That a weird sentiment really isn't it... I'm basically your sex cheerleader! Hahaha

Chapman, wow I'm so jealous of your holiday. Sounds like so much fun and I bet it's helping pass the time quicker! These last few weeks have gone sooooo slowly! Yeah I was sick off and n for about 4 weeks but it's all gone now. Only symptom left is the sore boobs (and the constipation!😳). Other than that I wouldn't know I was pregnant. Fingers crossed for our scans. What date is yours? Xxx

I'm on cycle 5 now BoBo ! Happy to see the 'Resident Preggo's' list growing there - I'll be on there one day!

Bobo - thankyou doll I'm having an amazing time nice break away and has stopped me thinking about my scan! How are you what bit are you up to in your cycle?

Lawyered - that's so weird isn't it haha! I can't eat red meat at all I haven't had a spag Bol in about a month same with burgers and meatballs.

Good luck in testing Hun fx for you don't know how u haven't yet!! Xx

Hey everyone just popping by still the same with me had a hectic week and have got around to POAS yet af still hasn't arrived and cycle day 51? Hopefully I get around to it hope all my lovelys are well and AF is staying away FX for BFP soon ❤

Ha ha I know BoBo! And was out straight after work again tonight at my book group! Phew. At home now feeling worn out and sulky about lack of AF. If it doesn't arrive tomorrow this cycle will be even longer than the first one last month.

Can believe I've ever been wishing for AF this much..

Are you going to test again this weekend lawyered? Sounds like it's worth another stick!

At least it's Friday tomorrow guys and a bank holiday weekend
