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

Hopefully everythings ok momma sounds positive if everything has stopped now.

MrsC I hope you are OK. Onwards and upwards :D xx

Haha Moonlight that's exactly how I felt two weeks ago, except it is my first month off the pill (or something stupid like 47 days since I took my last one....still waiting for AF!!)

Welcome Kaisha... I had to Google the acronyms for the first week or so Haha! I had no idea what ewcm was, I'd never heard of it and Google imaged it and nearly vommed!

So I'm gonna go poas just for fun and to double check I can drink this weekend! I hope it's positive so my DH has to change the cats litter!!

Thanks for the congratulations yesterday ladies!

Today is a bit up and down as I started cramping and spotting pink yesterday. I've seen my GP who said it could either be implantation or a very early miscarridge. Either way I'm too early for them to know and it's just a waiting game to see what happens now. The spotting was light brown this morning and has pretty much gone now.

No name change Bobo, I must have snuck in between you adding to the list

Congrats on the BFP momma and fx for everyone testing in the next couple of days!

Yesterday would have been my due date so I had a little cry to myself but feel like it's hopefully a bit of closure and now onwards and upwards!

Lots of left and right sided cramps- like ov pains. I have no idea what's going on...... Ah sod the 2ww, it's this 2 day wait I'm struggling with. Haven't poas in ages. Trying to not get my hopes up

Hi kaisha, you are similar to me. I came off pill on 31st Jul after 10 years. Been dtd quite a bit, no idea if I have ovulated and I'm just waiting for my first af really. If it doesn't show by next Friday I will test, but not expecting a positive.

Hi everyone, can I join? I'm still not 100% on the acronyms so sorry in advance.
I'm on cycle 1 having been on the pill for 7 years.
We have been busy dtd for the last two weeks and so far I've adjusted well to life off the pill.

I'm pretty sure I ovulated when my app said I would as had all the usual symptoms and Ewcm etc. I'm not a patient person though! Im expecting absolutely nothing to happen in cycle 1, but I know it's unlikely af will arrive when expected so I may test in two weeks anyway if she doesn't appear.

Not good moonlight hope you feel better soon.

I've had more cramping today, quite sore boobs and indigestion.

I swear to God I feel pregnant right now if I wasn't on cd 15 I'd be poas (how will I survive 2 weeks?!) I feel sick, I feel exhausted, I'm bloated and spotty. What is this madness?! Feels like first cycle off the pill all over again 😷

Thanks for the vote of confidence guys, I know some of you have been trying a lot longer and probably a lot more frustrated. Since I was like 13 I wanted to be a mum, did a after school course that started from contraception, from getting pregnant all they through pregnancy to visiting the local maternity ward and finishing with getting one of the mechanical babies home for a weekend. Everyone thought it would put me off but it didn't, I loved it.

Just hope we all get our BFP soon. This forum definitely helps a lot, esp as not told any of our family and friends about all that's gone on with this. xx

Congrats momma! And that it happened so quickly!

johno the 12 weeks was referring to the backlog you said there was for the swimmer results! Seems like such a long time. Sounding really positive for you! Fx!!! Can't believe you're be so patient waiting it out til the weekend, well done!

shoney you definitely be fine if you dtd the day before, then they would be there ready and waiting to catch that egg!

Cd15 for me so should be ov today going by last cycles but defo think it happened earlier than expected. Had high sex drive mon and Tues, ewcm Tues and now symptoms gone again. Yesterday just felt normal and back to 'normal' cm and today I just feel really crappy! Bloated and tired. Didn't dtd last night and dp is on nights tonight so won't happen so hopefully I'm right and the earlier dtd was enough. Going to count today as 1dpo, usually 14 day lp so expecting af around cd29 (8th September) Going to try very hard to hold out testing until then seeing as last cycle I poas then got AF a few hours later! 8 the September... God that sounds ages away.

Oh wow! First cycle that's amazing! Had you been off the pill for a while already? X

Congratulations, super news

Thanks ladies, I'm in total shock

Luci I was on my first cycle and haven't really had many symptoms apart from a little cramping two weeks ago and a really dry mouth this last week.

Keeping my fingers crossed for BFP for all of you lovely ladies still waiting!

Whooooooo congratulations Momma xx

That is a BIG FAT POSITIVE!!! congratulations!! How wonderful!

I love seeing the positive pictures!!

Momma what cycle were you on if you don't mind me asking? Did you have anything synptoms? X

Congratulations momma! x

Just a little positive momma!!! Massive congrats Hunni. Fx crossed we all join you soon xx

Definitely positive momma! Congratulations - how exciting!

So today was test day and I think I might be positive!! What do you all think...?

Seven, I'm literally exactly the same as you. The odd pains that make me think something is happening in there and then nothing. Dtd every 1-2 days just in case anything is happening!

Had a few cramps and shooting pains, tiny bit of backache, constipation 🙈, thirsty and tired! Boobs are fine unless I poke them lol. Moods have been absolutely fine tho.

Just a waiting game for the pair of us really isn't it! So frustrating tho as I want to know where i am, horrible not knowing anything. x

Shoney it sounds like you've done as much as possible so try not to worry!!

Johno that does sound very exciting!!

Awww Sarah that must have been really worrying. Great news you get an early scan tho!! Of course we don't mind you sharing.

Loula... Green peas?! Noooooo...first you can't have too much wine, then you have to do exercise, then you have to shaggeroo all the time, then you can't have peas?!

Still waiting for AF.. She's still not rocked up since stopping pill. Just dtd every day or two incase I ov. Occasional pains and twinges down there but nothing other than that.

Hey everyone, sorry I've not posted for ages! Been trying to take it easy plus I was in Wales last week climbing mountains so I am kind of glad I wasn't pg when I went there as there's no way I could have coped!

How are we all? Congrats to this with BFP's! And good luck to those in the tww. I am on cd12 I think.

My period lasted for ages this cycle. Another cold turkey cycle for me. Getting a bit concerned as I have been bleeding a couple of time after DTD. I am hoping it's just left over menstrual blood?? But I was kind of spotting throughout the day anyway after my period too which is unusual. I don't know what's going on anymore .

Another thing, I went into Holland and Barrett to ask what they recommend for ttc and the lady in there said not to eat green peas as they are a natural contraceptive!! Anyone else heard this??

Hi ladies, still been keeping track of the thread so got my fx for all of you.

That sounds really promising, Johno! Extra big fx for you.

Shoney, if you ov'd Sunday and DTD Saturday and maybe a few days before that you've probably done enough. I think I read that as the egg only lives for 12-24 hours, you have more chance of conceiving from dtd before rather than after ov. Not sure how true it is but it makes sense.

I'm about 5+2 now. Although I'm sure that will change with scans etc. Everyone's seems to on the pg threads! I had some spotting the last few days and yesterday evening it got a bit heavier (although still brown - tmi, sorry!). Anyhow, my GP surgery was closed so I called the emergency room at the Women's Hospital and they were fab. Gave me loads of reassurance that brown spotting was normal and I should only worry if it turns red or becomes more AF-like. Then she offered to book me in for an early scan next week to help ease my mind as being anxious is no good for me or the little bean. So I'll have a scan on 1 September to make sure everything is going OK.

Hope you don't mind me sharing that with you. Just wanted to tell you as I know it got said on this thread a few times that no one really knows what happens once you get your BFP. Thought it was worth adding as I didn't know what you could do if you hadn't had your booking appointment with your mw yet. xx

A bit disappointed today, still updating my apps with my details and I dipped Sunday /Monday and FF has now put on ovulated Sunday. Last we DTD was Saturday night. Wondering if we should have done it on Monday but was so snagged out by Saturday. It's soo frustrating. Kind of thought it was over, felt OK Monday then had bad cramps last couple of days and def some felt tingles in my boobs. Been dipping in the afternoon with tiredness but had really good sleeps. I was trying to pull myself away from symptom spotting but was taking note. Not very confident at all. Stupid pill and long cycles!!! I hate this so much!!!

Sorry for the rant guys, hope yous are good today!! X
