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!

An sunny that's so sweet. Your baby is literally like a little bean at the moment . I don't think I'd be able to relax either, id be googling all the stuff you should do when your preg and all sorts!

I usually get sore breasts before AF is due but she isn't due until 10th may and mine are hurting now. Not sure if it's a sign if they hurt prior to when AF should be due?

Unless my cycle is shorter this month and she is due next week (which may be possible!)

Thanks guys... The picture is a bit rubbish but I could see lots more on the screen... Poor DH, I left the photo at home for him to see on his lunch break as he couldn't come to scan, but he couldn't tell which bit was baby. I feel a bit more relaxed now but I still feel like I just know too much and definitely won't relax for a little while yet (if at all!!).

Chapman, that's great news about your dark lines!

Loulabelle I had sore boobs and a funny sense of smell at about 3+ weeks, which actually settled after positive test and then came back again. Feel a bit sicky now but not till 6+ weeks.

High hopes, sorry af is bad this month. Hopefully she buggers off soon!

Xx

Hey may, you have certainly come to the right place regarding New York tips . Your right it's important to focus on other things too.

Awww congrats on the scan sunny and glad all is going to plan! Lovely!!

Might be quizzing you guys for New York tips. We are planning to go in June. I have never been before. Determined to have things to look forward whilst ttc.

Ahh sunny that's so lovely!! Did you or chapman get any early signs you were preggo?

Oh yeah I've been in planet Hollywood! We stayed at hotel Edison just off Times Square. If we went again I think I'd rather stay a bit further out!

Haha, the whole process of ttc and conceiving and then the baby here is expensive! Like a money trap xxx

omg sunny that is amazing! bless you congrats! bet your more re assured now! nice lovely little beany xx

lou - yeah we love going in december! we got married then and weve been twice and jsut love it! i must admit though it was freezing however ive never cam back with a cold or anything from there! we stayed at the room mate grace its just off broadway next to planet hollywood was amazing! wbu? xx

ive stupidly gone and bought another pg test and poas and the test line came up even before the control line so im a bit more happier now knowing my hcg levels are rising! ive spent a fortune on tests since TTC.. i sort of wish i now had tehm rubbish ones i bought from ebay least i could poas as much as i wanted! im 5 weeks today i think!

Wow that's so cool- must have been reassuring to see that little heartbeat!

AF is SO painful this month, can't wait till its over & done with so I can work out when I'm ovulating. Cycle 4 will be my first month of using OPK's.

Phew, bean in the right place, with a flickering heartbeat.. Measured exactly 7+1 which was what I thought by my ov dates! Yay. Just shows how little they can see on very early scans because they thought I was 2-4 days behind my dates last time. Xxx

Hey sunny, I completely understand where your coming from. It's like once the cats out the bag then that's it. I assume your going to wait until your 12 weeks? How exciting. Have you planned how your going to tell them?

My mum and DH mum knows we're trying, but that's it. It's nice because they never ever talk about it and ask how it's going, because we just said when it happens it happens and it's nice not to have the added pressure. I'd definitely tell my mum as soon as I fall because if something bad does happen (God for it it doesn't) then at least I'll have her for support also!

Good luck at your scan today, please do keep us all posted! I'd probably be the same as you, I think until you feel the baby moving it's hard to know anything xx

Welcome John and welcome back ridiculous!

I know, I found it really hard not to tell my mum as we are really close but there were two main reasons... She is a truely rubbish secret keeper! I wouldn't want everyone to know yet, and she would tell one or two people and they would tell a couple and so on... We live in a small community, she is friends with DH mum, my friends mums etc! And it's not fair if other people know and not DH family. Oh it's all so complicated! And also she is so desperate for us to have a baby, she asks about once a week now and she doesn't even know we were trying... She tried to buy my a cot about 5 years ago just because it was pretty! (Think I would have never seen DH again if he had known!!). So I guess I just feel like if she knows and then something goes wrongness she will know we are trying and it will be a bit relentless with the questions! It made her sound a bit nutty, she's not just super excited!

Aw I loved our wedding, wish we could do it all over again. It's such a cliche but it really was the best day.

I've been to New York but I was only about 15 so I think I missed all the shows/cocktail bar bits. The sightseeing shopping etc was still fun but could probably do with going back as an adult.

Chapman I'm 7+1 today according to my dates (the scan last week made me a bit behind though). I've got my repeat scan this morning to see if there is anything new in there (just sac and yolk at 5+6) fingers crossed for baby and heartbeat! Il let you know! I just want this 1st bit to be over! I'm also still worrying, although if been a bit better the last few days. Manically googling miscarriage rates.. Weird I know but I feel better prepared with stats and figures... Down to about 5% now so I feel like the odds are in my favour. How far are you now? Xx

Oh wow chapman, you are brave going in December, i bet it was freezing wasn't it? We've been in Feb before and it kind of ruined the trip cost it was just too cold! Where did you stay when you went?

The day always does go too fast doesn't it, I wish we could do it all again!

4 months isn't long at all! I was taking the Pregnacare pre conception but I stopped then because I heard they mess with cycles and not long after I stopped AF turned up! Not sure if it was a coincidence or not. Wonder if it's the same for the seven seas one xx

Lou- OMG you went to New York that is amazing we went for our honeymoon too and then we went In December just gone and had booked to go this December but obviously we can't now haha! Glad it all went well I loved my wedding day went too quick! Officially 4 months this was my 4th cycle! And I only started taking seven Seas literally st the start of March too xxxxx

Yeah all went very well thanks chapman :-). Few family dramas along the way as is always the case with weddings and went to New York for a honeymoon.

How long were you trying for in the end?

Evening dolls!
How is everyone?

Lou - congrats on your wedding Hun how did it all go? Thankyou it was such good news! I told my mam and dad like pretty much straight away I tell them everything very close with both of them!

Cat mum - thankyou doll it is so good but I always feel the need to poas even more only because I'm scared :(

May - aw thankyou Hun yeah it feels good it sort of puts my mind at ease! Sorry AF showed but I always thought it was good as now a new chance for you to get pregnant!

Cookie - yay it felt so good babe although I'm still super worried and I just sit and cry :/ literally scared shitless of having a chemical I'm deriving myself insane! Good news about the cm I was like that for a couple of days then all of a sudden had my surge on the weekend! Fx for you!

Bobo - aw I'm sorry babe ! I promise you it will happen this month and for everyone else and we will all be resident preggos on the conception page haha! I'm fine I suppose just very tired and worried about anything and everything 🙁🙁
Sunny - how far are you now Hun? Glad u had a nice holiday! I'm still super worried about everything I just want my 12 week scan! 🙁 I'm so emotional haha! Xx

Sorry if I've missed anyone the thread is bouncing! ❤️❤️❤️ xxxx

Thanks for the congratulations guys. I did have a fab day, it jus went too fast!

Congratulations on your BFP sunny. Sorry o know I'm really late on this! How on earth did you keep this from your mum?! When you going to tell people, after 12 weeks?

It's interesting to know what other people are doing and at what stages. What about you chapman?

Congratulations Loula on your wedding! Hope you had a lovely day. Welcome, Johno & it's nice to see you back ThisisbloodyRidiculous! I'm cd20 so at a similar stage to you. Hoping for ov pretty soon but still neg OPKs!

Sunny, glad you had a great hol Mrs! Wooo for the sickyness! Must be a strangely satisfying feeling though I hope it doesn't get any worse for you. Well done on managing to hide it from your mum- I don't think I could have managed that!

Still nothing to report here. Tmi but had quite a lot of cm today (some of which I thought was ewcm). I'm hoping this may be a sign ov is in its way! OPKs are still negative tho, argh! Xx

Hi ladies rejoining the thread! Was on the first one briefly but had a tough first cycle so disappeared for a bit. I'm on cycle 3 cd 19 last period was 35 days long so hoping I'm currently in fertile period and DTD EOD. Hoping to catch this month!! Congrats to everyone with BFP already

Hi, I've just joined this site and this thread sums up where I'm at.

Came off the pill in October
Actively TTC #1 since January
Irregular cycles: 32,42,37,47 now on cycle day 24
Recently started using CB digital OPK as cheapie ones off the internet I never got a +ve. Have had 10 days of flashing (high fertility) "smiley" faces, she is mocking me!

Nice to see lots of people in the same situation x

Hi everyone. Feeling a bit more myself today and glad to be starting a new cycle. AC arrived today so taken as soon as I walked in!! Now just need them to work some magic!

Congrats loulabelle on your wedding. I got married easier this year so know all about about the back to work Blues!!

Sunny glad you had a nice holiday and lovely you can find the positives of being sick !

Fingers crossed for a BFP Tinyemmy you deserve after 148 days!

Thank you everyone . Now I am back at work my post marriage bubble has well & truly burst!

Wow tiny that's a long old cycle! I thought my 72 days was bad! I had 72 days and then 42 days so slowly dropping, but I am really hoping for a BFP this month. I have sore boobs already and not due to test until 10th May and keep getting a mild pinching sensation on my left side. Might just be normal and symptom spotting (as we do!)

Hopefully the Agnus cagnus will work for you - fingers crossed!

Congratulations Loulabelle on the wedding and chapman on the clearblue!!

I'm on cycle 1 CD 148 after coming off the pill in December last year. Although I had loads and I mean loads of what I think was EWCM yesterday so forced the hubby to dtd. Fingers crossed!! Although right now I'd be happy with AF let alone BFP.

For the record this is for TTC#2 (DD is 2 and a half she nearly died when she was born so took hubby - and me - this long to think we might want another child and now I'm worried about age gaps and age - I'm 36 this year)

Oh I bought agnus cagnus but have only taken one so far a week or so ago and then went away for the weekend and then forgot to take it!! I might wait 14 days - fingers crossed!!! until I start using it again!

I hope everyone else is well!

Congratulations on your wedding loulabelle!! Hope it was a lovely day

Ah Chapman, seeing it in writing, black and white, must make it all the more real!! And Sunny, snap with the sickness!!

Cookie, Bobo- all aboard the crazy cat club! My little fella is quite furry, he came back last night all silky and smooth like he had been brushed

Highhopes, May- at least you can now move onto the next cycle, fingers crossed this is the lucky one for you guys!

See you all in a few days xx

sooo onto cycle 4 of ttc for me!

Morning all,
AF has arrived today which I'm actually really pleased about as my bloating should go down & hoping OV will come around soon.
Congratulations on your wedding Loulabelle1990 !
OBEM makes me sooo broody too.
