Thank you TTC & Marie 😘 He's a little down in the dumps but I explained to him we aren't out just yet. I am cramping a little (not full AF style) but the only thing that concerns me is if I am late, I more than likely ovulated later than I assumed. I really don't wanna get on the OPK wagon yet, so thinking we will have to do a MrsJ and cover ALL the bases as many as poss next month if that's the case!

tuxie11 · 24/02/2017 12:47

Hi holdtightSmile welcome and good luck for an easy transition off the pill!

HoldTightPretendItsAPlan · 24/02/2017 10:26

Hi, can I join you all? Not actually trying to conceive just yet, planning to come off the pill in 6 weeks. Currently trying to do all the good stuff; reduce my caffeine intake, loose a little weight and taking some vitamins. Really excited, and a little impatient!

ttcnovice · 24/02/2017 09:55

Yes tuxie it's still early days yet! Hoping those hcg levels are increasing for you as we speak! 🤞🏼

Marie90 · 24/02/2017 09:44

mrsjkerry I think I'd be the same... Test at the earliest possible chance and know that if it is a bfn then it may still be too early!!

Hi PenguinDi! Welcome!

Ttcnovice I reckon it's definitely that were being extra vigilant each month now! Normally I'm pretty oblivious to anything until a day or two before AF is due!!

Tuxie11 it's a good sign that your officially late!! Fx that you just need to build up your hcg levels over the next few days!! I love how excited you DH is! Sounds like he is really supportive!

😊

tuxie11 · 24/02/2017 08:40

Thanks ladies. DH was up incredibly early and so nervous bless him! That's what I'm thinking I've got my 🤞🏻I just need a little more hormone to boost. Thanks for your positivite thoughts girls xx

PenguinDi · 24/02/2017 08:38

Kity apart from a very long first cycle and being really emotional it's not been too bad, I have had a bit of weight gain but my diet isn't exactly the best. Cycle #2 is running on course, I just wish DP would stop saying 'pregnant' every time I say I have a headache or feel tired, sometimes I think he's more broody than I am Grin

Tuxie period is officially late so that's good news!! It can take a few days for a BFP to show up from all I've read xx keep positive!

Morning girls oooooh tuxie!!! Don't lose hope til the red lady sings lol could be a few more days til hcg is high enough!!🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

tuxie11 · 24/02/2017 07:39

Morning all, hi penguin.

I tested this morning as I'm officially a day late and no sign of period at all and negative on a FRER Confused

Kitcaty · 24/02/2017 07:38

Hi Penguin. I'm in similar position, came off pill in November, TTC for first time, age 29 and on my 3rd cycle but 7 days late and 2 BFN. Havery you had a problems after stopping the pill?

ttcnovice · 24/02/2017 00:20

Marie I've been like that every cycle so far too Blush. I'm not sure if you just notice things more because you're being hyper vigilant so more sensitive to strange/different goings on, but we all seem to have had textbook pg symptoms every month! I think between us on this thread we've had every single one! Can't wait for the BFPs to start rolling in though, I think they'll bring good luck Smile.

Hi Penguin welcome Smile feel free to share anything and everything, there's no such thing as TMI here!

MistyBxx · 23/02/2017 23:50

Hi penguin :) welcome.x

PenguinDi · 23/02/2017 23:01

Ovia says 5 March. Clue says 3 March. I'm not 100% decided but will probably want to test around 3 March if AF hasn't arrived.

OP posts:
Marie90 · 23/02/2017 22:12

mrsjkerry AF is due 3rd March so if she doesn't arrive by that evening then I'll test then (trying to convince myself I'll wait till then and not test early)!

Just think..Just over a week! Are you testing early or is that when your AF is due too? (Sorry, I can't remember if I've asked you that or not)!!

Marie when are you testing? I have to wait till 3 March. Seems an eternity

Marie90 · 23/02/2017 22:03

mrsjkerry Ahhh it's so frustrating that loads of of signs are the same as pmt signs! And I've got a whole week to wait as well 🙈🙈

I struggle to remember Marie. The problem is I never used to get swollen boobs like this, but since losing my periods and then having them come back, they swell up about 10 days before AF. At first I was mega excited because I thought 'wow this is weird I must be pregnant' but now I know it's just a new thing my body does 😄 I would say my boobs feel more "full" than just "tender" but who knows! And yeh I've never had the twinning in my stomach before, but again..maybe I'm being over sensitive? Or maybe it's all the food I've eaten 😄😄

OP posts:
Marie90 · 23/02/2017 21:51

And me too MistyBxx I've got my Fx for the first few BFP of this month!

Marie90 · 23/02/2017 21:48

Hahaha mrsjkerry the pregnancy cushion sounds like a good purchase.. BFP or not!!

It's so frustrating isn't it! I just want to stay sane and almost forget about it all until it's time to test but it's currently all I can think about!

Are you finding these are different symptoms to the ones you spotted in your last few cycles?

MistyBxx · 23/02/2017 21:48

Oh I'm so excited for tomoz girlies!! For the first couple of tests!! It actually feels quite nice NOT symptom spotting for a change! I feel quite relaxed lol 😂 but I am enjoying the butterflies for others!!x

mrsjkerry · 23/02/2017 21:41

Yes Marie every cycle I have convinced myself I was pregnant. I even bought a pregnancy cushion one month (which by the way I absolutely don't regret it's the comfiest thing ever)! This month, despite promising myself I wouldn't symptom spot and convince myself, I have decided that my boobs are bigger than normal and the weird twinges in my stomach must be implantation. Every time I go to the toilet I look for spotting. It's a nightmare!!

Marie90 · 23/02/2017 21:39

Yay! Thanks for the new thread mrsjkerry!

Welcome Clacton Smile

And yeah tuxie11 it definitely helped! My OH is well and truly prepared for the next FW now so Fx he's not Ill again (or if he is he'll have the understanding that he can be Ill in his own time and I'm still going to want to DTD)!! 😂

I think I'm well and truly trying to convince myself I'm Pg this month...I've been noticing smells more (odd for me as I usually breath through my mouth), but I'm only 5dpo so not really close enough to AF/BFP to even be getting symptoms! My brain is trying to drive me crazy!

Anyone else had this?
