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

Hi mouse welcome to the gang

Evening ladies
Can I please join in?

I came off my pill on Thursday. After 12 years and I'm completely pooping it that I've done some damage.

No AF as yet. And no idea of my cycles.

Age: 32 (33 at the end of Nov)
TTC: #1
Cycle: #1

Me and the DH need to get a bit more busy in order to be successful I think. We are only doing it twice a week ATM if we are lucky. We will get there though. I uploaded my opk on previous page or 2 from Wednesday and it is very obviously positive. We dtd on Thursday just to be sure and then I had this on Saturday? I thought I'd missed ovulation but it seems I didn't. I am going to ask for some more information about it at the doctors on Thursday because I've also read online that you can ovulate more than once a month, but that your body sometimes fails to ovulate. Anyway good luck to you high hopes in your fw. And good luck for saturday luci. X

I want to hold out but I know I'm going give in! I'm home alone on Saturday morning and I have no will power! ...I'll see lol.

Hey luci. You never know- have heard of people getting BFP from 8dpo. Just depends how desperate you are to poas I guess (and potentially waste a test) fx for a BFP whenever you test x

How we doing ladies? I'm 6 dpo and borrrrred!! Thinking about testing on Saturday at 11dpo...still too early?

Wow that's a strong positive OPK Tommy - was it that strong on Wednesday? I don't know how long it takes to reach its peak?
I got my bfp dtd about 3-4 times a week.
I've just redownloaded my Ovia App now I finally have some AF data to enter. It says my fertile week is in 5 days time so that's something to look forward to!!

I'm confused after getting this yesterday as I had peak test on Wednesday. So have been dtd again just in case. Luckily I have a doctors appointment this week about my teenage spotty skin, so will be seeking some advice about ovulation then. Those of you with bfps- sorry to be so personal - but how often are you dtd in you fw?
Fx for you high hopes. X

Nothing much to report from me... All my ov symptoms have gone. So I'm back to feeling normal! Cm has dried up a lot so just waiting for af now really. 5 dpo today so a while to wait yet... This is only cycle 1 so I'm not too hopeful. Will be good once I get af so I can try and get to grips with my cycle lengths etc.

Went to a party and drank quite a lot, woke up with no sign of a hangover today 🙌🏻

Hope you ladies have all had a good weekend x

Hi ladies. What a quiet weekend on the forum.

Glad you're feeling a bit more chipper bobo and sorry to all of those who were assassinated by AF.

Is anyone testing this weekend to lift our spirits?

I'm currently on cd20. I'm pretty sure I've already ov (didn't opk though) and potentially at a normal 14 days, although I wouldn't put it past my body to lie. Bbt is rising which is why I'm assuming ov is done and dusted.

Didn't manage to dtd much when I had ewcm as DH had his fun in a cup apt. Hoping what we did covers it (excuse the pun), but tbh I'd be happy for a 28 day cycle.

Sample results are due in about a week. If they come back normal I think I'm going to just see out the rest of the year before I get my own kit checked out by the docs.

Happy Sunday all x

Glad you're feeling better BoBo !
My AF is now over so onto cycle 2- still taking AC so looking forward to seeing what effect it has on my cycle!

AF got me this morning, not any heavier than usual but the cramps are so bad they woke me up this morning! Aren't our bodies great?!

Awww Bobo sending support and hugs!

Completely feeling your pain, it's bloody rubbish!! It would be so much easier to manage if cycles were normal!

I am CD27 no positive OV test so assumed I was having another 50/60 day cycle and late OV. But CM has changed last couple of days like it does after OV. So now don't know whether I keep trying or whether I have OV'd whilst OH away and therefore missed!

The thought of 50 day cycles and missing OV is tipping me over. Cried all the way to work this morning!

When I know I am in the tww I find it a breeze compared to waiting for ovulation!

Hope everyone is feeling brighter and has nice weekend plans!

Well fx crossed af doesn't show up! Maybe test again in a few days?

I don't know exactly as I didn't use opks or bbt this month, but going on ewcm and cramping I'm about 12dpo.

How many dpo are you looby?

I finally caved in and tested today, still no signs of AF, symptom free, and BFN. I'm now cd26 which is my longest cycle since stopping the pill at the start of June. I'll just keep waiting I guess!

Glad it's not just me haha! Bobo it's so true though! And seven that's so inappropriate!

Temp rise this morning for me so I'm counting today as 1dpo :).

People do say it to me all the time, we have been married a year in October and my family and friends are literally waiting!! We've only been ttc since beginning of Aug tho, so it doesn't affect me as much.

So I'm 3 dpo today I think. Spotting has stopped and I have had a few shooting pains, ones that take your breath away, had about 5 in a row in the right side this morning while I was getting ready for work, and a few odd dull cramps here and there. Boobs still tender if pressed. All normal post ov symptoms as far as I am aware? Not had this in over 10 years! I've had enough of waiting already! Lol.

Oh I totally agree!
My colleagues go from saying 'Oh you'll be next!' to 'Don't have kids!' on a daily basis. I just sit there smiling through gritted teeth!

Lol - it is so annoying! I was ready to punch a fellow teacher the other day who asked if I was pregnant (in front of the kids!) after I told them I had exciting news ...it was about drum lessons !

And my sister can have a punch too harking on about having kids like she's the only one who's ever done it... she genuinely has no idea we are trying although we've been married two years and I keep hinting at it!

Rant, rant, rant, rant! haha

Eurgh it's shit isn't it. I wish I had a witty one liner come back. I think "I've actually just had a miscarriage" is a bit too harsh lol but sometimes I feel like screaming. We're just expected to laugh and joke along. It's such crap.
