@FivexFive I agree with you there! I have been reading these threads for a while and everyone seemed lovely and very happy to help so I thought why not get involved! Oh wow I have another two years until I’m 25 too I hope it went okay Hun! Xx

@MrsR16 that's good although any inspections hurt my woo woo!! Hopefully after a baby it'll be easier 😂

@Delilah7 smears definitely don't hurt - just a bit uncomfortable for a few seconds! I can imagine if you've got an elusive cervix that it's a bit longer, but I was done and dusted within just a few minutes!

MrsR16 · 03/09/2018 19:38

@ttcat32 I like your thinking!! 😂

Hi guys! Wow these threads fill up fast don't they?! Thanks Delilah7 for starting the new one :)
Had my smear today, thank god it's only every 3 years!! Had a chat with the nurse, but as we've not been trying for long it was just general chat.
Ebonyx, all I can say is, listen to these gals on here, they know their stuff! Picked up many tips since I came on board here :)
Good luck for the week to y'all! Xx

@delilah7 thanks for the response again! You’ve been really helpful already :) I have downloaded the app you suggested so just got to wait for my period to come and log it in there!

Hey everyone! Is it ok if I join?
I’m TTC I stopped taking the pill about 6 weeks ago and had a withdrawal bleed about 2 weeks later. Am I right I’m thinking my period should be due any time now?
Me and my OH have been TTC pretty much straight after I stopped taking the pill!
It’s my first time trying so any advice and stuff I will really appreciate! Grin

ttcat32 · 03/09/2018 19:25

@MrsR16 tell him it's possible you'll kick him in the balls if he says it again!!😂

@Delilah7 Whatever works best for you mentally, in the meantime I just bought two more 🤷‍♀️😂xx

MrsR16 · 03/09/2018 19:12

@ttcat32 anything's possible! DH isn't helping - he's going "well, it's only month 1 - it would have been a miracle!" And yes it would have been but there's still a glimmer of hope!

@ttcat32 I need to keep myself off POASing as I'm gonna drive myself loopy again! X

@BabySquid I'm impressed by your discipline, I'm still doing them every few days just to check 😂😂😂😂 @Delilah7 we'll see how long you last when we start pestering you!!

@MrsR16 oh no! But maybe because not FMU? You're still in!

@MrsC87 I had nothing right up till 9dpo then had horrible stomach cramps and a really stiff neck for a day a half then tested and got bfp

@BambiOnIce80 I have this feeling I might ovulate a few days earlier so gonna stay on CD8 I think - which is on Friday! X

BambiOnIce80 · 03/09/2018 18:52

@Delilah7, I totally understand why you'd want to check when you're ovulating this cycle, so go for it 👍

@BabySquid I have indeed been trying for a helluva long time (4 years accumulatively with a 5 year break), so I think I ended up reaching for the OPK's just to see if I was still ovulating! 😂 The answer was yes, but then I kept flipping going at them 🙄 Having someone questioning "why?" was surprisingly helpful 🤔

@MrsC87 you're not out till AF shows Hun!!

@RanchoRelaxo no problem hun, lots of love to you xx

@MrsC87 only symptoms I had was tightness when pulling jeans on and no cramps before AF was due... waited 2 day's after period and got a pregnant on test!

OP posts:
MrsC87 · 03/09/2018 18:47

So in terms of testing, do people wait until Af is missed or test on day Af is due?
I'm on cd17 which is 2dpo which is still early on in the 2ww, but should I experience any symptoms if I am pregnant before AF is due? Can you feel pregnant within the 2ww? Or will symptoms occur once you get a BFP?

I've been reading on google all about implantation and sending myself crazy!
Getting a little worried I'm only on cycle 2 and feel a little obsessive, when I know it's normal to take up to a year.

Magpie1111 · 03/09/2018 18:44

I have bought the LH strips on ebay and they seemed to work but I have pcos so LH was showing a faint 2nd line in the lead up to the surge, not sure if any one else gets that? No luck cycle 1. Will be trying accupuncture for pcos this month.

RanchoRelaxo · 03/09/2018 18:44

Hi everyone! Thanks for including me in the new thread :) I am still here, just trying to not be as obsessive this month so arnt really looking at the conception boards as much :) sending everyone loads of love x

MrsR16 · 03/09/2018 18:43

@ttcat32 @Delilah7 Definite BFN for me! Looks like I'm just going to have a long cycle! 🙁

Delilah7 · 03/09/2018 18:35

@BabySquid @ttcat32 think I'm going to do that now, only buy them when I'm a few days late! Best way x

OP posts:
BabySquid · 03/09/2018 18:31

@ttcat32 no I didn't bother. I have one standard one from Tesco from a couple months ago, but just needed one to test with this Saturday as it's 2 days early (I'd never normally test early).

I'm of the mindset that I only buy them when I need them, and only use them after 3/4 days late, and have only used one a month when needed.

ttcat32 · 03/09/2018 18:04

@BabySquid sorry to butt in! Did you have a look on amazon I got a pack of 4 for less than £10 😉

@BambiOnIce80 I know but I hate continuing to be negative. I don't like dwelling!

He's got a good point. Bare in mind I only got pregnant from an app, EWCM and ovulation pains. However I think I might test after this period due to the MC might mess me up abit so might just do them this month, think that's a good idea??

Aww, yes have a rest every now and then. We deserve it. Our brains go through lots!!! Xx
