Anyone else fresh off the pill!?

Hi ladies!
As my DH and i habe decided to TTC I took the last pill in my packet on 17th December and had my breakthrough bleed start on the 22nd and end on the 26th. Now the wait begins to see whether my cycle snaps back to normal and of course whether I concieve! I had been on microgynon for circa 3 years.

Is anyone else in a similar position and entering 2019 pill free!? I thought this would be a good place to track and share our experiences as they happen!

Just done an IC (only held my wee for an hour and a half) and got this.
I thought it would have been darker with the cm that I've got.
What does everyone think?

Anyone else fresh off the pill!?

So I've just been and checked for cm but didn't want to post the pics on here without warning, please would u look on the thread that I've made and see what u think? It's called, ovulating? Warning - pictures.
Would be greatly appreciated 😘 thanks ladies x

@JaggyJumper haha had a night off last night and I've just woken up now so hopefully I've recharged 😂

@whatsthecraic91 enjoy Glastonbury!

JaggyJumper · 21/06/2019 21:59

@Abi58 I’ve just tested now and got a faint line which reassures me as I wasn’t getting anything at all testing in the morning so I’m glad you’ve told me to try later!

@DaniX91 well done to you managing every night. You do deserve a night off!

whatsthecraic91 · 21/06/2019 20:10

@DaniX91 it’s so annoying!! The last 2 have been 30 days but the ones before that were like 28-39 days! I really wanted to have ovulated and DTD properly this weekend as there will probably be none next week and no testing as we are going to Glastonbury SmileWine

DaniX91 · 21/06/2019 20:00

@Kinsella82 yea the clear blue ones are really good but so expensive!
I used them last cycle and got a flashing smiley on cd14 then solid one the next day.
I had 4 left over so used them this cycle but nothing but a circle.

@whatsthecraic91 so frustrating isn't it! Yea mine have been the same, the control line and the rest is bright white!
How long are your cycles usually?

whatsthecraic91 · 21/06/2019 19:47

@DaniX91 I know how you feel Ive just got my 5th day of negative ovulation tests in a row, I’m on CD14 I must have no LH in me at all as all I’m getting is the control line Confused

Kinsella82 · 21/06/2019 19:16

@DaniX91 in the months that we were TTC my cycles varied from 27 days to 37 days. And when I was doing cheapie opks I was getting faint lines for a long time each time. Then I moved onto cb digitalis for two months. First month got 3 days of flashing smileys before the solid and on the month we conceived I had ten days of flashing smileys and got solid next day. So I ovulated on around day 20 of that cycle.

DaniX91 · 21/06/2019 19:05

@Mycrazylife85 I've heard that but I'm such a control freak and last cycle (our 1st) we did it every other night and it didn't work so I'm thinking if we can do it every night then it might. I know that's ridiculous considering not many people get their bfp in cycle 1!

Mycrazylife85 · 21/06/2019 19:02

@DaniX91 fertility specialists will often say every other day is ample. ☺️ perhaps a night off? ☺️☺️☺️

DaniX91 · 21/06/2019 18:50

@Kinsella82 thanks for that 😊 how long were your cycles? And how many days before did u start getting faint lines on the opk? I'm also worried about having a short LP. Just need to chill out really don't I?! 😂 x

Kinsella82 · 21/06/2019 18:46

@DaniX91 it was very common for me to ovulate on day 20 and sometimes day 24 so keep testing x

DaniX91 · 21/06/2019 17:25

So it's cd17 and I'm not even getting a faint line on opk 😔 it's literally bright white. Starting to panic that I'm not going to ovulate this month, also don't know how much longer we can DTD every night. Shattered!

cjdb3 · 21/06/2019 07:30

@DaniX91 Thank you! It definitely doesn't! I feel very lucky x

cjdb3 · 21/06/2019 07:28

@Abi58 Thank you! I'm really happy, but no, it doesn't seem real at all, as I really didn't think it would happen! Wishing you so much luck this month xx

cjdb3 · 20/06/2019 13:23

Thank you @niffler2019! It's such a weird feeling...!

Abi58 · 20/06/2019 11:05

@JaggyJumper That sounds good :) 🤞🏻 for you 😁

@Laurenk474 wow congratulations!! Funnily enough loads of people think I'll have twins 🤞🏻😂😁

Laurenk474 · 20/06/2019 10:49

I'm 28 weeks with 2 boys :) no twins at all only family, think it's defo been the pill that has caused it. If I ever want any more twins I'm going to come on & off the pill to mess up my cycle so my body just fires out loads of eggs lol x

JaggyJumper · 20/06/2019 10:22

Thanks that’s helped so much. I’ve been doing it in the morning and nothings ever shown up but I had a few tingling feelings which I thought might be related. I’ll now start checking later on in the day. We have been DTD anyway so hopefully may have caught it.

Fingers crossed for you too!

Abi58 · 20/06/2019 10:02

@JaggyJumper I just do one after work (when I've not weed for at least an hour) every day from cd 8 then when the line starts to get darker I do one 2nd wee of the day (my first never shows lh) and then when I get home from work. When it's super close I also test about 9pm (because i like knowing what's happening I can't help myself)

🤞🏻 for you

Hope you get af/bfp soon so you can either enjoy or start your next cycle!

JaggyJumper · 20/06/2019 09:59

@Abi58 hi I got OPKs from eBay but I’m not quite sure I’m doing them right Blush I’ve not had a positive one yet but at the same time my body will be all over the place from just coming off the pill so I’m hoping to have a period again soon so I can track properly.

Abi58 · 20/06/2019 07:04

@JaggyJumper welcome😁 are you tracking anything? I found opks and temping really helpful when I came off so I could know what my body was doing 🤞🏻 for you

Abi58 · 20/06/2019 07:03

@Laurenk474 wow congratulations!!! How far along are you?? Just goes to show everyone reacts differently!

JaggyJumper · 20/06/2019 00:05

Can I join! I don’t really know how to start with all this but I came off my pill at the start of May. I had a period on the 1st of June and now just waiting to see how normal the will be after 11 years on the pill. Good luck to you all

Laurenk474 · 19/06/2019 22:23

I was on the pill for 15 years. Came off it to try to conceive, no feelings of ovulation first 4 months even though LH levels were detected.... then 5th month pregnant with non identical twins :)
