Relaxed TTC June/July/Beyond

This is my second cycle off the pill I think I'm due in 7 days but had mild spotting and mild cramps last night so af may be about to show x

Any news relaxed ttc-ers? I got my first AF yesterday which is a relief as didn't know how quickly/slowly this would happen after coming of the pill

Eva30 Amazing holiday - had to do some work while there but just did loads of biking around and eating lovely food. We're already thinking of when we can go back.

Congrats cosmic!

Wow congrats *CosmicBird and sorry to those who got AF, wishing you better luck next cycle! Currently on cd24 and don't think I've O yet. Waiting for BBT to spike is painful

Congrats cosmicbird!
dynia me too, just got back off hols, AF came Friday, that witch doesn't half know how to ruin things!! Did you have a nice time? I really needed to relax after stressful couple of months moving house etc and now feel refreshed and ready for FW

Congrats cosmicbird

Got my period whilst on holiday, now onto cycle 3. I didn't temp whilst away (through CD6) but assume it should be enough days to get a baseline (normally ovulate on day 16-17).

Thanks ladies, cannot concentrate on anything in work this morning, will take a while to sink in I think !

That's what I'm thinking Eva30. It's just annoying and I'm impatient lol. Did a test this morning and it looks like I'm just bloated and really like pasta bake and salt and vinegar crisps. Congratulations Cosmicbird

Wow Cosmicbird! Congrats!

Omg I'm just after getting a very strong line on a first response test!!! Got up early to test before everyone else got up here and boom up it came before the 3 minutes! Slightly freaking out now because I'm still really crampy!

Good luck for tomorrow moosmummy
Ovia and ff are a bit useless I think when you've just come off birth control. I stopped taking the pill in April and now I think it's finally got the right date predictions!

Cosmicbird I know the feeling. I'm currently feeling like death waiting for AF to arrive as according to Ovia I'm due on today but no sign and certainly do not feel like it will ever arrive. So annoying! I suppose though this is my first cycle after AF from Mirena removal so shouldn't be as disheartened as I feel from today's test. And I am just rabbiting on and on aren't I x

Fx for tomorrow so moosmummy :)

Feeling v crampy today but the tests I ordered arrived so I'm debating testing in the morning, AF due Saturday according to fertility friend but cycles all over the place and not entirely sure when ov happened - so might be just totally wasting the test and I'm pretty sure it's going to be a bfn anyway I'm being ridiculous, so much for "relaxed ttc" !!!!

Congrats Sophie!

BFN but did test midday. So going to retest tomorrow morning at 8am before school run. Hoping for a BFP as want to know why I'm feeling sicky from morning til night. Thanks for asking though

moosmummy how did the test go?
rm90 did you test?
Good luck

Congratulations to everyone who's had BFP's this month. I'll be doing a test in the morning as due on in the morning and don't feel as though I'll be coming on. Instead I feel sick, constantly hungry and living off tomato and herb pasta bake! Quite nervous about actually buying a test and getting a result but I'd rather know a yes or no than worry about no bleed. Good luck and baby dust to everyone still ttc xx

Jenny that sounds like a plan! I wish I'd started charting my BBT months ago as it's helped me understand everything so much. I'm currently on cd22 and if I wasn't doing BBT I would definitely have thought I had already ovulated and might have stopped bd'ing. Definitely worth it!

Good luck to you and everyone else ttc xx

If you got a two pack then test again in a week and the test should change from 1-2 weeks to 2-3 weeks pregnant. I had no symptoms first time round until about six weeks so don't read too much into a lack of symptoms! Just enjoy it!

Congrats Sophie!

Decided to take the plunge and ordered a basel body temperature thermometer and ovulation sticks from Amazon in preparation for next fertile window that is due to start next week. Started using Fertilitycheck lube towards the end of my fertile window a few weeks back so will definitely be using it every time we do the BD. Fingers cross this month will be one!

Hope you're all doing well xx

Sorry don't know where that grinning emoticon came from in the middle of my sentence there!

Ah congratulations Sophie!! I've never had a positive on a clearblue before AF was due, apparently they're not very sensitive, so 😬I would say it's a good sign that it picked up your bfp at 10 dpo :)

Thank you TryingToStayRational I really appreciate it. I need all the pep talks I can get!

Sienna Thank you so much I really hope that's the case for me too! It's going to be hard to wait until the first scan!

Congrats Sophie, I also tested early and worried about chemical pregnancy but my AF date quickly come and went with no sign of AF. Fx that's the case for you x
