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

AF got me, gutted!

So excited for you johno! Will be checking mn first thing tomorrow morning expecting a photo of 2 lines!

Hope you a great day at the wedding mrscw and enjoy a few whilst you can!

shoney hope you get some answers soon, could be anything and it's surprising how much the pill messes with us and the crazy things our bodies do after stopping it.

3dpo for me (complete guesswork), nothing to report. A lovely lady on the ttc after mc thread was giving away her stash of opks as she's now 16 weeks so got them on the way to me and will defo start next cycle as I think I may be guessing completely wrong! My cycles seem to have got shorter (and ov earlier) since mc so be good to know for sure.

Went to the toilet this morning and wiped to find blood. There was a very dark bit, almost black that was wet with cm and the rest was reasonably brownish. Toilet again twice, had a very faint bit the first, nothing in the second and underwear is completely dry........ See what the next 24 hours bring.

As I ovulated last weekend seems too quick for a period but after the pill anything is possible I suppose.

Hiseven - yup doing the lot though gave temping a miss this month just to have a break but I seem to be ovulating (according to temps anyway)

Even been googling home insemination kits to give tht a bash n oh abit of a break as I know he struggles with feeling he 'has' to dtd x

Johno I thought you were testing today? I'm eagerly waiting! All sounds good so far!

Not much is going on with me so I have to get my kicks from you lot poas!

I had a day or 2 of symptoms (not sure what they were symptoms of though!) last week and now I have nothing at all.

I haven't dtd in 3 days either so I'm aiming for a mid-afternoon fumble when dh gets home later!!

Woke up feeling a bit sad this morning. Had a dream that me and DH were about to dtd and he got condoms out and decided that he didn't want to ttc any more, I was devastated and so angry at him 😢

Day 27 post pill for me today. Not much to report.

I have a wedding next Friday and if I was on a normal 28 day cycle that would be af due date, so think I may poas as I want to drink. Pretty sure it will be a neg but will do it anyway for peace of mind xx

Happy Saturday!

So woke to temps still high. Either 13 or 14 dpo now, this is a guess mind as this was my cold turkey cycle. Only temped recently as was curious to see if I'd actually ov.

Temp has never been this high post ov, am trying not to get my hopes up!

Still having cramps and sore fun bags. Honestly thought I was going to wake to AF.

I tell you something I honestly won't believe it until I see that bloomin line on that stick!

Hope you all have a nice day. mrs I love a good weeding too I have lots planned to keep me busy. May buy a couple of super drug tests just in case it's a BFP and I need convincing! X

Fx for Shoney and Johno!! Johno... I can't believe you haven't tested yet. Let us know how you get on.

Cycle 11 Lucy that must be so frustrating! Let's hope it happens soon. Are you doing the whole opking and temping stuff? Xx

Thanks seven and moonlight, feeling much better today. Going to a wedding later so am all excited, I love weddings

BoBo thanks for adding me to the list, how are you so amazingly organised?!

Good luck for tomorrow johno and shoney hopefully they are all good signs! All fingers and toes crossed for you lovelies!

Welcome lucylou, I'm Scottish too so know exactly what you mean

Busy afternoon on here guys.

Welcome kaisha

Hope your OK momma, I'm sure it will be fine!!

Had a busy day at work, we are moving offices just now. Trying not to go overboard moving heavy boxes whilst in the 2ww Had more cramps and sore boobs today. Yesterday had a lot of discharge, underwear was well marked (sorry if tmi).

One week till test day... Everything is crossed

lol Johno85 i forgot not everyone knows that word - unless your scottish. It will be a year in November since first starting ttc but realising its actually cycle 11 am now on makes it seem so much longer :(

Oh seven i can see why you're stressed. I was on Yasmin for about 9 years- my first withdrawal bleed was within a couple of days and then my next cycle was 37 then 34,47 etc etc. The shortest I've had to date is 31. I probably would have given it about 3 cycles then gone to the GP if no AF. I say that but I'm inherently impatient so it probably would have been sooner.
I agree with bobo about the agnus castus.

Ah bobo you are my one-woman support team lol. Thanks to the rest of you for all the good luck. I am staying strong until Sunday mainly to not waste a frer continue to torture everyone and it might sound silly but the longer I leave it the longer I can believe there may be a little cub in there. I may buy a couple of super drug tests tomorrow to take to Devon in case sunday is a bfn and I get to Monday with no AF.

Welcome to the mad house lucylou I do love someone who joins the group and includes a word that I have to look up #scunnered

can i join ?

ttc no 1 on cycle 11 :( totally demotivated and scunnered by it all :(

Oh no seven that's a shame! Don't be too put out yet! I was on yasmin too but can't answer your question sorry as my first cycle was 29 days... knowing drs though I expect they'll make you wait a while. Fx it comes soon for you (or the alternative)!

Thanks for the updated list bobo

johno I agree you should test!!!

Haha it was negative ofc!!...I'm now nursing a lovely glass of rioja as compensation! Haha!

Stopped mid pack (towards the end) and had a withdrawal bleed. It was the yasmin pill I'd been on since I was about 19. Was on another one before that since about age 16. Both with no problems. Af was really regular and predictable before that.

I just assumed it would come back, I didn't realise how common it is for it not. I'd probably of stopped it alot sooner if I'd of known. Its only been a month and a half tho so I know some ladies have been waiting much much longer!! Just wondered how long you should leave it before going docs.

Did you have a normal withdrawal bleed and waiting for first real af or no bleed at all? Did you stop mid pack or take a full one? Or was it the pill you take all the time without a bleed?

Yep moonlight had loads of funny symptoms such as feeling sick, sore boobs, loads of tummy ache, bloating, etc two weeks ago when af would have been due (if I was a normal human being). Have done 4 tests since then just in case (usually when I've wanted a beer! Ha) and feel completely normal now except the odd ping in the ovary area but still no af.

Seven seas arrived today so I'm going to take them instead of folic acid in the hope they will get my cycle back on track. Not sure how long I should wait before I need to go to the docs about not getting af back after pill?

johno Fx for you and well done on the holding out testing. At least still no af!

mrscw hope you took some time to yourself and you're feeling better now, that must have been difficult.

momma sorry you're a bit in limbo but I think thats normal for some people to get spotting, especially around time af would have been due. I hope it's all ok for you and your body may have just been getting rid of it to keep the beans house nice and healthy and fresh. There's so much going on in there!

seven fx for you, it was all sounding good wasn't it?! When will you test?

Hello from sunny France! Just a quick check in while I've got wifi. Welcome to new faces and congratulations to momma!

So after thinking I was in the middle of a tww I had an unexpectedly early visit from AF on weds! This cycle appears to have been 10 days shorter than the last one so I think I started testing too late and missed it this time. so frustrating.

Spent the first part of my hols with my friend who is now 16 weeks pg so that was difficult. I have however been making the most of not being pg by enjoying plenty of vin rouge in the sunshine!

Try to check in again soon. Stay positive everyone

Haha Seven, lets us know how it goes!

Momma, fx it's all ok. I think a lot of people get spotting in early pregnancy so fx for you xx
