So, the subject says it all! Although I feel I may have more a chance this month.
I came off the pill December - last month we was out. But this month, I apparently ovulated yesterday 12/01/20. We did the deed twice 2 days before ovulation... so today Iam 1dpo.

Anyone in the same that wants to join?
I really want to try not symptom spot, but yesterday I felt the cramps - which led me to think it was ovulation.

@mrsCOR

You know when you just know af is going to arrive.... I’ve done 3 tests over the last few days at all bfn.
I have ordered some frers which arrive Monday, so if af hasn’t arrived then I’ll test Monday.

This is my 2nd baby. X

@Kates21

Spotting is a really good sign so don't feel disheartened! I've had no spotting at all but I think only 30% of people get it.

I've had a weird pressure/heaviness/fullness sensation below my belly button since yesterday. Can't be gas as that feels different and I've regularly been going to the toilet so not constipation. Also get cramps/pinching in the same area, particularly on the right. Other symptoms too, but could be AF signs too so trying not to focus on them.

Did a test this morning even though I wanted to wait for tomorrow and it was a BFN. 9 DPO is way too early really, and I was being optimistic testing from tomorrow! Can't help it - I'm already a POAS addict! I'd like to see a line progression - absolutely love when women line up their tests with their dpo's written on them. Super cute and a great reminder of the excitement build-up!

This is our first baby and second cycle ttc - is this your first too?

Fx for some BFPs this month!

Hey @mrsCOR

Still in the running, af due 26th. Kinda feel like I’m out tho, had spotting at 8dpo & 10dpo, currently 11dpo! I ovulated 12th.

Hopefully we do see some BFPs

Hang in there @loulou922 xxx

Hi everyone,

So had some bright red spotting this morning and now very water brown spotting. There was a clot in the red spotting this morning which tipped me over the edge thinking I was having another chemical. I had a blood test already scheduled for this morning to check hcg and the nurse veyy kindle added it to the urgent pile so I should find out tomorrow. More frer are coming tomorrow too so trying to be hopeful and patient. So so hard though. Xx

@polejunkie

Yes, atleast you know rather than the unknown!
If my af comes Sunday I should ovulate around 9th feb... who knows!

My little Ones 3rd birthday on the 7th, so maybe a little luck for me would be nice 😂

@lv1987 I think we can all sympathise with the impatience x

polejunkie · 23/01/2020 13:57

@kates21

Don't worry, there's always next time, at least now I know - Weirdly that's better than the waiting!

I track my period etc and it is normally spot on - But weirdly this one was off (which has thrown me!) I did get a new phone in oct, so I'm wondering if the app kind of reset... I've input my current period and it's now changed my cycle dates and ovulation date, so I'll just have to see how it goes next time - I should ovulate again around 3rd Feb x

I'm being incredibly impatient, I should just be enjoying this month rather than wishing it away!

LV1987 · 23/01/2020 13:54

@Kates21 did you get any warnings in the lead up, symptom wise, or did AF just kinda come at you?

@polejunkie

That’s so shit! Sorry.
This is all so difficult isn’t it, wish it was easier!
Do you track using apps? X

OP posts:
polejunkie · 23/01/2020 13:50

I'm out - AF has well and truly arrived and I, like you @kates21 am already dreading the next 2ww - At least me and my OH get to try again pretty soon haha, although this cycle was 3 days shorter so now I'm not sure when I'll even ovulate - Bloody mother nature! x

@lv1987

I stopped mid November - had a period beginning dec (or withdrawal bleed) 1st dec til 5th December then another period 29th December til 2nd Jan, and due again 26th! X

OP posts:
LV1987 · 23/01/2020 13:34

Since the beginning of December - had my withdrawal bleed, then nothing since! I had naively thought I'd get my cycle back straight away and fall instantly and glamorously pregnant, but alas, here I am checking my pants for pinky CM in the staff loos! How life changes 😂😂

Bless you, I saw you’d been on the pill. How long have you been off it? X

LV1987 · 23/01/2020 13:26

I'm just hoping mine will politely stick to just two weeks next month 😂😂

@Kates21 you're not out until AF says you're out 😁

I'm feeling good, a little like my salad just isn't going to cut it today, but good!

Hey girls,
How are you all?
I feel like I’m out - just got that feeling af is preparing herself to arrive on Sunday... you know when you just know. 🖕🏽🤦🏽‍♀️

OP posts:
LV1987 · 23/01/2020 10:08

After literally days of nothing, today I have some pinky CM, along with dizzy/spaced outedness, and light cramping. I think this may be AF trying to make her presence known, but at CD43 post-pill, I'm alright with that 😊 Her timing could be better though, we've got a weekend away at the spa booked for this weekend!!

Jenna30ttc · 23/01/2020 08:08

@AutumnCat I think we have been chatting on another group? Your symptoms definitely do not sound like af symptoms. It really sounds like this could be your month. 🙌🏽

AutumnCat · 23/01/2020 07:29

I am ignoring the following things: my boobs are almost always sore but right now more than usually so to the point that my clothes are basically unbearable (sadly I a) live up north where it's too cold to go au natural and b) work in an office!!). I had a nosebleed yesterday. Low level cramping for about a week. Hot flush yesterday and this morning which I have never had before and was super fuxking weird. These are all definitely, definitely, definitely either random or just differences due to coming off the coil. AF due Sunday (ish...?) so I may test then.

Also on Sunday I am planning to go to a clothes swap event. I love shopping and am really looking forward to it but my brain is going "well if you get pregnant there wont be much point". Shut up brain, that's nonsense. Urgh.
