End of November, jump on board pt 2!

I caved and took an FRER this morning, 8dpo and BFN but guess that was expected...Will probably try again tomorrow, once I start I can't seem to stop xx

@Skygirl1983 I bought tampons on Saturday. Bleh! Sad time's.

We've decided to spend the weekend in London in between Christmas and new year. Wasn't feeling Cotsworld or up north on this occasion. I just booked to watch Phantom of the opera, heard great things but never seen it.

Welcome to the ttc madhouse to all the newbies. It actually makes you feel more sane being here, gives you the opportunity to brain dump/off load & realise your not the only person that reads far too much into everything & saves us looking mad in front of OH don’t want to scare them off as they’ve got what we need😂. Let’s hope we all have our BFPs by Christmas/new year. It’s also really interesting reading about others cycles & symptoms etc

Hi Can I join? 4 dpo and just created a Pinterest page for baby Ideas! I know it's early and it may not go to plan but it's proving an awesome outlet Xx

@Elmlee ahh I see, everything crossed for you!🤞🏼

@mellymoo86 got it downloading🙈

@nt1992 it's called premom

@MrsC89 haha well done you for getting out of pjs lol. Yeah sometimes a relaxed weekend is just what you need. I didn't have any options, it's for OH! I'm having Nutella, crisps and ice cream instead lol

@nt1992 I'm not actually sure 🤷🏻‍♀️ I haven't had a period for like 13 years. Apart from odd spotting here and there if I've missed loads of pills (I'm so bad).
Got a mild stomach ache so I'm assuming it might be a rejection bleed after the pill or something.

@mellymoo86 thanks what is the app you're using in your photos?xx

Wtf! It's posted three time 😂😂😂 sorry @nt1992

@nt1992 the apps are good but what worked well for me is to use the cheap sticks. All three months I have ovulated from day 14-16. See attached. I also used clear blue ovulation sticks and it was the same as the cheap ones.

@nt1992 what worked for me to figure out my ovulation days is to use the cheap ovulation sticks, from normally day 10 - day 16 (my cycles is 26-28), I did this for 3 months and got the same days every time 14-16. Apps are good but try the sticks as well as FRER to confirm.

@Elmlee when is AF due? Could be some implantation x

Hi all,
Iv been a bit quite over the last week, I think I'm just appreciating a settled hormone level, I feel like Iv been through a whirlwind the last 4 weeks since stopping the pill but I feel more human now.
Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend & welcome to our newbies!
I should ovulate this coming weekend and it's OHs weekend off work so he's already booked himself in for a 3 shift stint in the bedroom 😂
I'm really glad everyone's relaxing over the Xmas period.

@mellymoo86 Thank you for the welcome 😀

I have been really bad with my pill tbh for a while .. and been missing loads 😅🙈

We e just come back off a rather nice holiday and managed to get loads of alone time!

Got home though and my nipples have been awful.. constantly erect and sore.. thought it might of been the cold 🥶
But then I've gone to the loo this evening and noticed like a brown like looks maybe like clots or something... (god sorry it's TMI) not sure what it is?

@mellymoo86 you will be pleased to hear I did get out of my pjs today! Lol! Even went out on a walk this afternoon, think I needed the lazy morning. Bet those muffins were yummy!

@mellymoo86 can't seem to see that app

@mellymoo86 no I've been using the strips and Flo & Ovia app. Which last month the strips were at their strongest on said ovulation days. I'll download this minus app x

Tests* @nt1992

@nt1992 have you tracked it yourself through tested? (Minus app)

@mellymoo86 last month was cycle day 18 and it says this month is cycle day 16 for ovulation 🤷🏽‍♀️

@PandaPink that looks promising, let us know when you do the next test. Fingers crossed 🤞🏽

@nt1992 what cycle day are you? From when you've been tracking previously do you ovulate around about the same time?

@Skygirl1983 you're due Tuesday right? I've had a weird AF this time. I don't even know if I've properly started so going to see how it goes to decide when cycle day 1 actually was. Feels like I've had a little bit more than spotting for the last 3 days. Hmm..

@Elmlee welcome to the madness!! The best advice I can give you is read and understand what your body goes through and roughly when you ovulate, other than that try to not let it consume you. It's going to be hard and it's going to drive you nuts but we are all understanding now that it just isn't worth the stress (plus that probably is affecting your ability to get pregnant too)

@MrsC89 are you out of your pjs yet? Lol

Hey ladies,

Hope you don't mind me posting. I read though all this thread last night. It's such a wonderful thread it's been gut wrenching and interesting reading the comments.

Sorry for all the lows some of you have been having @Louu99 gosh you broke me.

I just wanted to tell you a little about me.

28, married just over a year to my hubby, been together for 8. Been discussing babies for last 7/8 months.

Finally taken the plunge and stopped taking my pill Cerelle. Started taking folic acid. We shall see what happens.

Anybody go any tips? I haven't got a clue about tracking cycles etc it's something I'm going to have to google!

Bye for now
