Bare with me I'm not quite with the abbreviation lingo yet so apologies.
I'm 31, and hoping to be adding to my family asap. I'm on my second month of trying after having my coil removed. I've never really had periods whilst using the coil and unsure about my cycle so we've just been having sex a lot and hoping for the best. I began what I think was my first AF post coil on Friday.
So if anyone is as obsessed with me about ttc and wanting to chat please do. It's hard keeping all this at bay with my friends and family.

Hope the line goes darker for you. It's so confusing isn't it... if you can't hold your wee god help you when pregnant 😂
Well I'm CD22 although I thought 21. We've decided test with FRER on Monday morning then if nothing again on the Friday. If I don't get my period at all I'll go GP when 2 weeks late. I feel better having a plan.
Hope your busy (wink wink) DR

As I say, can't go four hours, even in the night! So this looks pretty promising to me x

Hey charley sorry, been so busy with work I forgot to check this thread I also never check my emails I think I'm ovulating tomorrow! Got my darkest positive ov test today, but I can't hold my wee, I have the weakest bladder it's unreal so two hours is all I can go, I'm not sure when Im ovulating as this is my first AF and ov since mc and it's all a bit funky.
You said you're due any time from today - Sunday? I hope you're still in the run for BFP Smile x

It's daft isn't it
How's the opk looking... I'm guessing you got a positive with how they were heading
I just want either a baby or a period 😂

charley2016 · 17/11/2016 19:48

Haha I feel your pain! Tested today and still nothing. I have a feeling after my 3 short cycles that I'm going to get a stupidly long one now and be very disappointed Sad

Charley how you getting on? We did a frer earlier.. 8days early... was negative shockingly. Why did I do that? I don't even feel pregnant

I have a line all month round julez, it's as dark as the other line when I ovulated... keep testing though hopefully a few days it'll be dark :-)

julez12 · 16/11/2016 16:49

do you ladies reckon this could be the start of ovulation? 18 days post cerelle mini pill. been feeling crampy/lower back aches thinking it was first af en route

Hi there... lookimg for TTC buddy
charley2016 · 15/11/2016 09:34

Oh no Dr! Sorry you're sick, hope you feel better soon. I'm due anytime from tomorrow-Sunday so could be the full 6 days before missed yet. Where about in your cycle are you now?

DrRBannerx · 15/11/2016 09:08

Absolutely knackered, got three hours sleep last night as I was up being sick.. Unfortunately nothing to do with babies (that would be so worth it), I have a food allergy, and went straight on the school run looking like a scarecrow. Also have to find daughter pudsey stuff for own clothes day tomorrow at school.
charley it's so exhausting isn't it, seems to be constantly on my mind!
When's your period due?

charley2016 · 15/11/2016 08:13

Yeh I'm shattered too! All this constant thinking about it is tiring us out I think Confused

Couldn't wait... Not even the slightest hint! I have woken up with a feeling that it's all I my head and my period will be here soon.

How's everyone today. I'm exhausted, not symptom spotting, just shattered!

OP posts:
charley2016 · 14/11/2016 11:42

I just used a cheap asda one but I have some frers so might try that Wednesday. My period tracker is saying to test tomorrow as its estimated my period then but my last cycle was full 28 days so who knows! I swore I would only do tests of my period was actually late but it's just too tempting!

Yeh I'd keep trying with the sticks so you get an idea. I should maybe have bought them instead of a pregnancy test... Maybe my body is ridiculously confused and only just ovulating although I bloody hope not Confused

If you can hold out to test Wed you'll be doing well. What tests are you using? Heard pink dye ones are best for early detection.
I'm not testing until at least next Monday. I'll be on CD25 and 11DPO (predicted)
I don't think I've got pregnant though.
Also my boob's haven't stopped tingling since my period.
I'm going keep peeing on opk I think just to keep an eye out, never know if I didn't ovulate I still might.

OP posts:
charley2016 · 14/11/2016 11:08

I have no idea Confused I definitely had a very strong positive OPK last Friday and I should be due my period any time between Wed-Sun this week. I don't understand it haha! I'm going to try just hold off until later in the week.

Oh that is interesting, could you be ovulating again or perhaps a pregnancy symptom?

OP posts:
charley2016 · 14/11/2016 09:34

I think I knew it was far too early but I just couldn't help it Angry well today is strange.... I've woken up with a ton (and I mean a ton) of ewcm. I didn't even really get any that was stretchy round ovulation and normally I have to actually go in to check it but this morning it's been leaking out Confused

Don't be discouraged though Charley. Still early days. I was 3 days late for AF when I got a positive with Daughter1

OP posts:
charley2016 · 13/11/2016 18:33

Ok so I know I shouldn't of, but I did.... Not even a hint of a line Sad

charley2016 · 13/11/2016 12:58

FMU is first morning urine.

From what I've read it's best to not use first wee for OPKs as stronger urine can dilute it. NW is right about it needing to be as dark or darker but hopefully means your heading for ovulation! Try testing later and not seeing for 3 hrs beforehand. I had light for about 3 days before my very dark one. Also my cousin came off the pill and conceived 2 weeks later so very possible! Smile good luck! I'll have my fingers crossed for you X

What does FMU mean?
I've never took the pill so no idea but I guess if you stopped at the right time you could be in with a shot straight away.
Think I've learnt with the OPK is that it's only a positive if the test line is as dark as the control line... a faint line is a negative. I've had one positive test and just shagged like rabbits.
