So I’m trying to conceive and have been since November. I sadly miscarried in Feb and had my first cycle last month. I’ve just ovulated or so I think...got a positive result on saturday and have been busy dtd quite a bit. I guess I’m 1dpo maybe 2. Fingers crossed this is our month. How is everyone else getting on?

Ooooh exciting! Sounds like you are a day or two from the Lh surge! Yes I agree go jump on him hahaha I have painful pons but that’s about it. We are going to take our minds off things with a trip to the Trafford centre! Let me know how you get on with that positive opk! X

Sorry that was mean to say flashing!

RudyRoo · 13/04/2019 11:32

I'm good thanks. Got my first dashing smiley on OPK this morning so things seem to be happening, going to jump on the husband later 😊
You having any other symptoms? I guess it's still early for you so maybe too soon to start guessing!

Haha sometimes I think I prod them into being sore. We shall see I’m not holding my breath. I know I should be more positive but can’t help but not being. Guess it’s just because one boob is more painful than the other which is what happened Last cycle.... we shall see!

@Claire78564 oh well that sounds like things are going in the right direction! I'm constantly feeling my boobs too to see if they feel different 😂

Yeah you have the options. As for me today I have breast tenderness more so in the left than right. Nipples feel slightly sensitive altho I think it’s all in my head. I know I had similar symptoms last month so not holding much hope. TMI but things are also a bit loose haha if you get my drift meh :(

Might just finish the pill at end of April then and he can wrap it up for a month 😂👏🏼

RudyRoo · 12/04/2019 07:47

I agree with both. Wish I'd come off sooner! But so hard to know as everyone is different.

Beddie11 · 12/04/2019 07:38

@daisydo123 i agree with claire, if i were you id come off it now and use alternative methods just so your cycle can sort itself out. I wish id done that xx

I’m sure it will. Sometimes just letting things be natural is the best route. Can I just say men have I so easy! They have none of this. If I were you I would just come it and see how things go x

daisydo123 · 12/04/2019 01:23

Periods have been all over the place while on this pill like some cycles reaching 56 days! 😱 just hoping it will all normalise witching a couple weeks of stopping x

Hi :) I wouldn’t worry so much about that. Everyone is different. I was on mycrogynon. I’ve had friends on the pillnyou mentioned and their periods came back straight away. My cycles came back straight away yet others I know on same pill took months. I wouldn’t base what has happened to others on what will happen to you. I guess you could always come off and if you not ready to start TTC then use condoms. I wouldn’t worry about that bit at all x

Hey guys hoping you don't mind the butt in , me and my partner are wanting to TTC around June time, but I have been on the mini pill cerazette for a year now and had a mirena cool for 4 years before that and getting worried with all these posts of people struggling to conceive

Also good friend of mine took 6 months for them to get a BFP after she stopped the pill, just wondering what pill you guys were on?? No idea wether to stop it earlier than planned or not as I run out at the end of April anyway x

Beddie11 · 11/04/2019 22:34

Come on you sperm...swim swim swim!!

Claire78564 · 11/04/2019 22:15

Yeah it’s nice to chat it out! Keep temping it can’t hurt to do this and like you said when ovulation occurs (when because you have the parts and it will happen) you can know exactly what’s going on with your body. All the best for you spoon 😊 x

Beddie11 · 11/04/2019 22:04

So i guess i can still temp even though im not having a period, can still see if i have a spike i suppose ! Ahh thanks girls its nice to have someone to speak too. I havent told anybody except my mum about my situation so its just good to have you guys x we're all on this journey together and i cant wait too see some bfps for us all, because it will happen! Xx

Claire78564 · 11/04/2019 22:00

Yeah I think will always feel this way hopefully the next one will go the way it should! I feel like we all need to listen to nothings gonna stop us now by starship lol or what ever It’s called we need some inspirational music haha. Ah I see what you mean will give it ago next month as I can’t see us catching this month. Very annoying when we have done it more times that I can count lol. Would be good to know it actually happened. OPKs are good in the sense that they tell you you’re about to ovulate but they don’t say ‘you have ovulated’ plus you can’t be sure when you have either. My OPKs were positive for two days my guess is I ov’d on the Sunday night or Monday. Just can’t imagine sperm actually being where it should be haha. Good to talk on here tho. I should imagine the more you temp the better you will be at seeing the key points in your cycle.

RudyRoo · 11/04/2019 21:47

For the temping, yeah I just do it when I wake up everyday, before moving too much or going to the toilet etc. (Recommended from other posts I've read) it's supposed to rise quite sustantially when you actually ovulate so although you can't predict it you can look back on it to see if it has happended, if that makes sense. So alongside OPK's should be able to pinpoint it. Well that's the theory anyway but you'll probably be able to find other people who explain it better than me!

RudyRoo · 11/04/2019 21:44

@Claire78564 well that's totally understandable considering what you've been through. You'll probably always be nervous about that happening again but obviously something just wasn't quite right and don't let these fears stop you from being confident and happy about going forward and having a healthy pregnancy.
Yes you are totally right I feel like I can feel things more too, odd twinges and things, but did wonder if it's just because I'm thinking about it so much! Weird how much your mind can affect these things. I totally agree - positive thinking does the world of good. It's also great to have discovered this site with so many people going through the same thing and feeling like I'm not alone. We've got this 💪🏼

Bye let us know how you get on with the temping and if you can make much understanding of it! I’m very confused by it tbh. Do you have to do it same time everyday? And what happens at the point of ovulation? I read somewhere it can show you implantation but don’t know how much rubbish or fact x

Claire78564 · 11/04/2019 21:36

Thanks 😊 it did help a little I just worry I will mc again. I just have to keep in mind at the hospital they told me it was more likely a prob with the embryo rather than me. I know what you Mean with coming off the pill. It’s weird but when I came off it I suddenly felt lighter like I could feel things more? Sounds silly lol but I won’t be going back on it. I know you wish you had tried earlier but at least you don’t have any of the pill left in your system. 33 is still on the better side for conceiving! You have plenty of time too so don’t give up. 🥂 here’s to our cycles and possibilities of getting preg. Friend of mine was under a fertility specialist and she was told by the doctor constantly that she should be optimistic as pregnancy is more likely than you believe when you have the parts. Will be okay.
