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

Aww thanks seven and sarah

bobo I didn't see any ewcm at all last cycle if that helps! Just Ov pains and positive opk.

Feeling strangely nervous about GP appointment in the morning, guess it makes it real! And what if GP turns round and says er, you're not pregnant! Haha..

Hope everything goes ok tomorrow cookie
My boobs are SO sore today, my nipples feel like they are on fire

Welcome to newbies :).

cookie so hope tomorrow goes well for you it feels like ages ago you had the scan, bet you can't wait to just find out how it all was.

bobo don't get too disheartened by the ewcm, the cycle I got my BFP I only had a small bit in the morning and then gone again by the afternoon (dtd that evening), i wouldn't have even noticed if I wasn't closely examining knowing I was due to ov soon! Also it's not impossible without it is it? just makes it a bit easier for the little guys I think.

Cd4 for me today, still got AF. Everything goes soooo sloooow when ttc doesn't it. Weeks counting down the days to ov and then weeks counting down til poas time.

Hope everyone's well! CD8 for me and strangely looking forward to my doctor's appointment tomorrow where I'll get the results of my scan. Sorry to hear of AF arriving for some of you. We need more Bfps! Bobo have you ov'd yet? Back to work for me tomorrow after 7 weeks off xx

Haha Sarah, my DH is the same. TNG is also fabulous - we joked were kinda serious about naming our child Jean-Luc haha...

So now I'm waiting for AF...no idea how long my cycles are but before pill I remember them being pretty regular and usually plenty of signs it was on its way. This month, being the first one off pill I now have no idea whats going on. Absolutely no signs of AF and I feel a total novice at all this stuff. From reading everyone's posts maybe I should of had a couple of months being off the pill before trying..

Shoney you got me thinking too maybe I'm just having a long cycle

I'd never even bought a pregnancy test until today and now I'm bricking it about doing it!

Afternoon would like to join, this is our first time trying to conceive, i finished the pill mid January then had a period. Had occasional spotting over the next five months, ovulated June (although didn't realise at the time) then had my first proper period 21st June and then began trying. We went on honeymoon and had a great holiday but didn't actually think about me having longer cycles and I think we my have missed the boat. I had a forty day cycle and got my 2nd period 31st July. We now have been ovulation strips and testing daily to see. So far nothing but if I have a longer one not looking to ovulate till nearer the end of August so praying for it to work. At the moment trying to do it every couple of days. Both just so anxious to be parents. Fingers crossed it work this time.

Marmite, just been bridesmaid at a wedding where one of the other bridesmaids was five months pregnant. The dresses were bought when she was still trying and she just got it altered. If the bride loves you enough to ask you to be bridesmaid then she'll be so delighted for you that she won't care if your dress has to be altered/changed. x

SevenOfNine, also on Voyagerthon. DH is a big Trekkie and is educating me in the ways of the Federation. He picked Voyager to star me on because he figured I'd love Janeway. He was right! It's definitely a good distraction from ttc as well! x

Haha thank you Sarah... Currently on a voyagerathon - I guess the only other distraction than ttc now it's the summer holiday...

Marmite - you're friend will be delighted and completely understand when she finds out. Dont worry :) my sisters friend recently got married with 3/4 pregnant bridesmaids..the hen doo was a bit boring to say the least!! xxx

I do hope so marmite ! It's such a confusing time..
I bet you were dying to tell your fellow bridesmaids your exciting news, I'm sure the next few weeks before your scan will fly by. :)

Sorry AF got you lou

Sounds like your body is getting back to normal and AF just around the corner highhopes

I think I'm 5 weeks tomorrow. I've booked a private early scan for just a few days before 8 weeks. So working towards that at the moment! The bridesmaid dress shopping trip was today and we got dresses... Luckily from John Lewis so they have a 90 days return policy so that should work in my favour if needs be!

I do love your name, SevenOfNine! Made me grin like a crazy person when I saw it.

thank you BoBo, that would be efficient of you 😁😁

Not testing this weekend, Jj. AF is due around Tuesday if my cycle is the same as last time so going to see if she shows up. If not I'll test maybe Thursday or Friday if there's no sign.

Hi guys,

I'm new too. Been lurking for a few days and have never posted on a forum before in my life but you lot seem like such a lovely bunch.

We too are ttc #1, coming to the end of cycle 1 (i think) after being on the pill for 10 years. We've just jumped in too having no break and dtd as much as possible. Im not doing temps or anything as we're in no desperate hurry but I have downloaded Ovia which is quite nice for keeping track of what's going on. I had no idea there was so much to this baby making...
In the mean time I'm stocking up on as much blue cheese/pate/etc as i possibly can, in-between trying to decide if I'm imagining sore boobs or if they really are sore....
It's nice to be able to talk and read about other people in the same boat and not bore DH and turn him off the idea!! Ha!

Oh sorry she got you loula. Fx for both of us this cycle then and maybe we will test again together next month!

highhopes hopefully af is just round the corner then. I really hope it turns up soon so you can get back on track.

Not sure if I've ovulated - I haven't noticed any difference in CM and never got a + on an OPK so haven't bothered with them.
I keep getting random spotting which makes me think AF is coming but then it's gone by the next day! Hmmm

AF sadly got me this morning so I am out sadly!

Onto cycle 7! Beginning to think something is wrong?!

JJ I think you've done the right thing deleting your apps etc. Being relaxed is so much healthier and better for you.

Hope your not waiting too long for AF highhopes xxx

sarah and loula are you testing this weekend? Anyone else?

highopes do you think you've ovulated? Have you done any tracking of anything? Sorry you're still in limbo :(

*bbt

I've just got rid of ovia and glow and ditched the btb for now and am going to have a relaxed few cycles. My cycles are regular and I get ewcm around cd15 so just going to dtd regularly. I don't think I'm getting anything out of using the apps except added stress.
