Anyone else fresh off the pill!?

@DaniX91 I know how you feel, I think this month will kill me if AF shows. I know 6 months isn’t a long time but it feels like forever

We weren’t tracking or anything up until this month so we were doing our usual 3/4 times a week, this cycle we DTD nearly every night of my fertile week and on the day of ovulation! It’s fun trying tho which has brought us a lot closer

I think there's a good chance that Amy might too!
This is only my first proper cycle since having a period after the pill so I really shouldn't let it get to me if AF does come but I can't help feeling demoralised!
How often were u dtd in your previous cycles compared to this one?
We did it loads more this month x

@DaniX91 I know Amber is gonna wreck the place

I’m just so afraid my mind is playing tricks on me it’s so hard playing this game every month this is cycle 6 for me this is my first cycle using the OPKs now so I’m a bit over obsessed this month. Fingers crossed for us both x

Can't wait for tonight's Love Island mind, it's guna be a good one!
Same, just on and off! Surely we shouldn't be getting AF just yet at just 9dpo?
I've heard that constipation and diarrhoea are both a sign so 🤞🏼
I've just read too much about it so I'd rather wait to see if AF shows.
Just wish it was next week. I took my last AF really well as I was just pleased my body was working so soon after stopping my pill, got a feeling this one will get me down though if it shows.

@DaniX91 yep I am only home too

I’m getting the exact same cramps they aren’t constant just on and off! I’m also constipated too which isn’t like me as I’m pretty regular! I think I’ll definitely try to hold off until Tuesday to test as I never thought about CP

So I'm 9dpo and I'm getting cramps, not strong like AF but definite cramps in the lower left side of my stomach (same place as my ovulation cramps) I'm hoping my period isn't on the way cos this would be far too short LP wouldn't it!
Anyone got any words of wisdom for me?😊

@whatsthecraic91 omg u must be shattered now 🙈 Love Island really takes some dedication doesn't it! Totally worth it though 😂.
Oooh hopefully these are all good signs for u then 🤞🏼
I don't know whether to just see if I can wait til the 8th to test cos I've seen a few posts about CP and I think I'd rather just not know.

I wish I'd spotted this thread back then - I came off the pill at the beginning of November and had a period 12-14th. I got pregnant at my next ovulation so I'm 32 + 5 today

@DaniX91 I’m exhausted now I just finished watching 6 nights worth of love island and I have to get up at 5.45 for work 😂😂

Maybe the cramps are implantation? Yesterday I felt like AF was coming but fine today so I’m hoping it means something! I never get sore boobs or nipples but they have been a bit tingly but I could be imagining it! Yea maybe as that would be a very short LP, I was going to wait til the 8th to test but I’m thinking now I might try one on Saturday morning 11DPO. When are you going to test?

@Abi58 that’s the thing I’m not 100% when I ovulated because I wasn’t doing the tests properly so I thought I’ll wait and do it all next month. They are pro Matis ones I have just now. I’m just going to see how the next week plays out and hope for the best. I think I’m maybe about 9DO

@peaky297 congratulations to you! It doesn’t even seem like December was even that long ago!

@whatsthecraic91 hi, how u doing? I'm also 8dpo (we're cycle buddies 😊) currently getting slightly sharp crampy feelings but nothing else atm. I had a cold for a few days from around 2dpo and I'm feeling exhausted but don't know if that's just due to work and getting less sleep because of Love Island😂. My nipples are sore one day then fine the next, nothing like last cycle when they were so sore from 1dpo!
Flo is predicting AF for 4th but surely it should now be about 8th or 9th as I ovulated later than expected?

@clolo 😁🤞🏻

@whatsthecraic91 thank you! Yes definitely put my mind at rest!
I found the best was eBay 4 for £13 something 👍🏻 keep us updated!

@Abi58 I have one FRER in my medicine cupboard I think I’ll get some more ordered

That’s great news! The blood will be reassuring for you! Symptoms are good as it means your body is at work

@JaggyJumper 🤞🏻 for you! Is it a one step one? I got a decent line on an frer before I really saw anything on them. How many dpo are you?

@clola I'd dtd anyway just in case 🙈 I think it's 2 weeks after your last pill you can ovulate so sounds like you might be in your fertile week 🤞🏻

@whatsthecraic91 the weekend is close to af due date 🤞🏻 make sure you get an frer 😁 and let us know how you get on!

I'm great thank you. I've been so worried after my chemical last month but starting to settle in that this one is going well. 17dpo today so now officially 3/4 days late and lines still getting stronger. Had an frer where the test line is darker than the control and cb digital 2-3 weeks 😁 just got hcg beta blood test results back
Friday 159
Monday 759
Dr said it's a strong progression so I'm chuffed! told my husband on sat 😁

I still have waves of nausea, boobs hurt like heavy and bruised feeling, and so so tired 😩🙈

@Abi58 I’m going to try and wait a week as my AF isnt due until the 9th! I will likely cave at the weekend

How are you after your BFP? Are you having any symptoms? How many dpo are you now?

Hi fingers crossed for you @whatsthecraic91 hopefully this is it for you!

I’m still waiting for AF been feeling crampy since Saturday but it comes and goes.
Took a cheap eBay test yesterday but was negative. I really don’t think I am as this is my first real cycle off the pill so anything could be happening. I would just like to know!

@whatsthecraic91 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 try and wait a few more days it's super earlier and more likely to get a negative whether you are or aren't

Just checking in! How is everyone? Now 8dpo, i felt a bit crampy yesterday like AF was coming but today I am feeling fine? Really want to test but I know it’s way too soon

Hi ladies, me again. Nothing much to report apart from still no af since my withdrawal bleed in May. I’m day 46 today. Haven’t been testing for ovulation just gonna wait and see when my period comes.

While I’ve been catching up with everyone’s messages and journeys I think it’s important for us all to remember to just look after ourselves and take time out for just us. Stress and hormones do not mix! Might sound silly but maybe try some meditation or if you can afford it do something for you every now and then like getting a massage or you could try something new and have some acupuncture or reflexology (both of which are supposed to be beneficial for fertility). Sending love to you all x

Feeling crampy a bit today and my flo app says my period might be due today so not sure I’m too optimistic about this cycle

@Skyla01 I think I started about a week ago so perhaps around day 14/15 but I haven't had the slightest twinge/back ache/ spot. I know I've not missed anything and if truth be known I known I don't think it's on it's way soon either. It really is annoying. On the other hand at least I don't need to worry about making sure we have sex at the right times 🙄

@Mycrazylife85 that's annoying. I was hoping after 1 extra-long cycle I would be back to normal too. No such luck. Af usually appears 10-14 days after ovulation so if you ovulate soon you could be on a shorter cycle. I hope I don't beat the 57 I had last cycle! What cd did you start opks?
It is very frustrating to have such long cycles when we just want to get on with ttc!
