Thread 4: Ttc without ease, loopy length cycles, post pill poas and everything in between!

Ovia is definitely an overly optimistic, pregnancy obsessed bully then, it's official!

luci I had a 28 day cycle first month off cerazette, so it can happen! 2nd one was 31 days. I only had my last depo injection a year ago too so thought it would be a total nightmare but progesterone only contraception doesn't seem to ALWAYS be horrendous.. I've been on depo/cerazette for 9 years too so wasn't expecting anything like normal cycles for a while.

Af arrived today for me, 3 days early :( only a 25 day cycle first month of the pill. I wonder what next months will be.

Will post a pic when I get home to tonight 😊

Yes let us see a pic!! My app tells me to test tomorrow.

A line is a line BBS... Post us a picture!!

Hehe you might do! I hope you do! I haven't poas for a whole week tomorrow. Totally over it now...ha!

I could not help myself this morning and did a hpt, and got the faintiest of lines. Trying not to get too excited as one app is saying af was due today another saying it's due Monday and the 3rd saying next Thursday.
Also being feeling like af is coming. So such mixed emotions.

Ovia is telling me to test tomorrow, as if I'm going to have a 28 day cycle after cerazette!!!

Haha funny you say that, I feel Ovia actually bullied me into doing a pregnancy test! I know exactly what you mean. She's shut up now I'm on CD47 😢 with no signs of anything! I just log that there's still no af and when I've dtd. Maybe just think of what you want to know and keep track of and use the one that does that the best.

😂😂 Piehunter sorry to laugh but your post cracked me up lol.

I use Ovia... Only got 1 months data though and it actually winds me up filling stuff in, and agree these apps are the things that make us obsessed as we document every detail!

I literally have no idea what's going on with my body right now. Last night I had definite EWCM so dtd then this morning I woke up with awful stomach cramps and sensitive nipples. So am I ovulating? am I going to see AF? am I pregnant? argh it's driving me mad!

Ovia is a pregnancy obsessed bitch.. It's the app I use but only cos it's got 2 months data in now and it's useful to compare, easy to use etc but I dislike the fact that EVERYTHING in the tww is met with "could be pregnant".

I have post period pmt (i don't think that's a thing, but I've got it!) I'm sooo irritable, not helped by the fact i somehow managed to hit my car on a pillar in a multi story car park yesterday

Fertility app cull

Right so I've somehow got myself into a routine where I have 3 apps; fertility friend (I like for the chart but only useful if doing bbt), ovia and glow.

In my mission to stress less after 8 months I need to cut it down to either one or two for now. I'm a bit worried as I don't want to lose all my previous info, but if anything will get you obsessed, filling in three apps every day will.

Any personal preferences or suggestions? X

Bobo I am testing this weekend. Trying to stay positive. All the worrying about it not happening is counter productive. Met with a fried today who had been TTC for 2yrs and the month she threw all her tests away in an attempt to be more if it happens it happens....it happened.

Bobo you are so right. We always thought it would take many many months to conceive after coming off the pill, I'm just a bit over excited now the time has come. Thank you though :)

Luci - great attitude. I got a bit worked up over it all during my first 2 cycles and this time I'm a lot more chilled out. I'm cd10 today, dtd every other day on average and just seeing what happens. I've gone back to work this week after the summer off and that's already helping me to relax more. Im also hoping that it helps me to stay this relaxed during the 2ww which is due to begin any day now.

Waiting for appointments is the worst. Will be good to get some answers for you tho.

I've got a banging headache again this evening, 2nd night in a row. Defo signs of af... Just wish she'd show her ugly face already so I can get on with it!

I've told myself to chill out a bit now, getting worked up over everything on cycle 1 isn't going to help anything, it could take a while so I'm going to make it hell for myself if I carry on obsessing, especially this early on. So I've taken a chill pill ladies 💊 ...and breathe 😊

If my tracker is right I'll be 13 dpo as I logged when I had my most symptoms. I'm just afraid of dashing my hopes even though I'm only cycle 1

Thanks bobo If af is due Sunday, would testing Friday morning be too early?

How frustrating BoBo, when is your appointment.

I have had nothing today, not even any cm!

Although dtd last night and it really hurt in a certain position 🐶🙈 never had that before, felt like bruised cervix. Maybe it's been taking a battering from all the bd'ing?! 😂🙊

Hey ladies,

I'm finally back from down under. Lucky I got af whilst over there really because I don't normally drink but went on wine tasting tours and ate out and drank lots! 🍷😌
Have finally caught up (I think). Welcome BBS! And I'm the same as you in that as I have 41 day cycles I also feel cheated that I only have 8 possible chances each year of getting pg instead of 12. 1 egg is all it takes though so fx for us!
Johno- I'm very much up for the Jeremy Kyle saga. They must be the most fertile people on the planet! I want to join their club!
Luci I was exactly the same as you when coming off the pill. I was on it for 11 years and as soon as I came off it I was googling everything. I thought I'd get pregnant after first shag- didn't even know about ovulating and there being a 12-24 hour window 😳🙄🤔
Fx for you Bobo! And good luck to you all this cycle x

Hahahahah. That's that then. Jeremy Kyle for some free poas!

AF has come with venom- this is seriously the worst I've had since coming off the pill. Awful cramps- but like ov cramps as well, bbs are unhappy, back ache which I never get and I'm emotional wreck! Let's hope this is the body restarting itself. Anyone poas today? bobo how are your symptoms coming along?
