Just that really - trying to keep away from the early testing. Anyone else waiting?

@Curious012 have you told anyone that your ttc? I'm keeping it 100% secret, be nice to just come out to family and close friends and say I'm pregnant 🤰can't wait for that day. Haha 😂 yea I know I think a lot of women will get pregnant around this time haha as there isn't anything else to do haha 😂 I really hope af doesn't show her ugly face 🤞🤞 x

Curious012 · 21/04/2020 12:55

@laurah92 definitely got my 🤞🏻🤞🏻 It’s our month too!! Yeah same as you DTD every other day until 2DPO, I’m just a bit conscious I don’t want to kill our sex life by being obsessed cause I can already feel myself going that way 😂
Aw yes same here I know our families would love it! Although can see my brother and sister taking the p - ‘nothing better to do in quarantine’ haha. Let’s hope these next 2 weeks go quickly!! X

@Curious012 I know, when I first came off the pill, I said to my OH that I would just come off and we would just let nature take it's course haha 😂 well that isn't happening, like you, I'm tracking, checking my apps and internet and every little sign and symptom going lol 😂 yea hopefully my temp will stay up now, yeasterday and today it's been rising so 🤞 yea we was dtd every other day for 2 weeks and stopped after Monday. What about you? So 🤞 we caught the egg haha 😂 I've read that sperm can survive inside us up to 5 days waiting for an egg so hopefully with dtd every other day there was always something there ready for the egg 🥚 🤞🤞🤞 this is our month and we will be telling each other some good news, it would be nice to have some good news with all this going on atm, I know my family would love it when I tell them I'm pregnant 🤰 x

Curious012 · 21/04/2020 12:16

@laurah92 that definitely sounds like a good sign! Sounds like your body is getting back into the swing of things after being on the pill. We’re you still DTD every other day over the weekend? Got another low reading on the OPK just now so I’m pretty sure I’m 5DPO. I’m the same going to try and hold out until 30th when AF is supposed to show her face but we’ll see if we get there 😂
I thought I would be so relaxed about TTC but I’m finding that every day I’m checking my apps and the threads on here. Not so causal after all, haha x

@Fawnandwren how are you today?
I'm in a good mood today as I have definitely ovulated now, on the Sunday/Monday. I got ovulation pain on Sunday and twinges on Monday being cd 21/22, and my temp is rising now. Before being on pill, I always had long cycles so hopefully this is normal. My af is due on the 4/5th so I'm going to try and hold off till then to test but I know what I'm like and will probably test before haha 😂 what about you?
Yea I know, when I was at school they made it sound so easy to get pregnant and doctors too, they always said to me that if I miss 1 pill I could get pregnant. I've been having unprotected sex since January and nothing yet so it's really not that easy. It's actually very stressful x

laurah92 · 21/04/2020 11:43

@Curious012 hey 😊 how are you today? I believe I didn't ovulate the first time round and I have now ovulated, I believe I ovulated Sunday/Monday being cd 21/22. My temp is starting to rise. I even felt ovulation pain on Sunday and then some twinges on the Monday. So hopefully this is a good sign. The last two cycles I didn't feel ovulation pain at all, just twinges so I am quite confident that this cycle, I did actually ovulate even tho it's quite late but before being on pill, I did normally have long cycles so hopefully it's normal. I'm due af around the 4/5th, I'm going to try and hold out to see if af shows her ugly face or not before testing but I know what I'm like lol 😂 what about you? X

Fawnandwren · 20/04/2020 16:00

I won't test until Wednesday as I'm pretty regular x

Fawnandwren · 20/04/2020 15:58

@laurah92 I don't know if I started to ovulate straight away, as I wasn't monitoring it. I came off the pill 18months ago due to needing to have some tests not linked to fertility. I then decided not to go back on as I wanted to get my body back to normal and needed to have an operation. I started not being careful from June last year and then actively monitoring my ovulation from October/November with the sticks which weren't too helpful and then with Ovusense in February. So far with ovusense I ovulated day 14 in March and day 15 in April. AF is due tomorrow possibly Wednesday as I'm between 27-29 days cycle wise.
I honestly thought you could get pregnant so easily, so this has been quite an eye opener for me. My DM found out she was P with me at 5 months despite being on the pill. So I always had it drilled in to me from her, sex Ed at school and many friends getting accidentally pregnant in our twenties and now planned friends getting their BFP after the first 2 months of trying. I think stress is a huge thing, it does still cause me stress when I think it's been 6 months now and no baby. But I have to just remember there are so many options nowadays. When is your AF due? x

Curious012 · 20/04/2020 14:20

@laurah92 how’s the temp today? I’m feeling sickly and sluggish today should be 4DPO, but I think that’s probably from being cooped up indoors going to try not to symptom spot this month. Are you going to wait to see if AF shows before testing this month? x

Hope everyone is feeling alright also on the TWW!

@Fawnandwren yes I have noticed that I have more of a sex drive too since coming off pill and more cm. did you start ovulating straight away after stopping pill? I guess it's still early days for me atm, I've only been trying for about 3 months so I guess I shouldn't start worrying yet, maybe like you said, if nothing has happened within the next 6 months or so then maybe I should get some checks done x

laurah92 · 20/04/2020 07:42

@Littlebee1990 same last night and this morning, my boobs and nipples are killing me, so uncomfortable 😣 hopefully that's a good sign for you 🤞🤞 x

Littlebee1990 · 19/04/2020 22:11

My boobs hurt soooooo much tonight and my boyfriend just grabbed one and said bloody hell they’re solid! Usually get sore boobs just before period but these are bloody really painful!!

Fawnandwren · 19/04/2020 17:27

No children, my DH has low sperm count. So I don't think from blood tests, ovulation tracker that the issue is necessarily me. Although both DH and I were due to have a few more tests before CV came about.
I felt great after coming off the pill, sex drive was really high, had more discharge/mucus than I had noticed when on the pill, skin became worse after 6months :( but my melasma disappeared... So positives and negatives coming off the pill. I did get twinges, but not recently. Would recommend ovusense, lots of people seem to say it has really helped them. It's £200 for a year and the device which is not cheap. I would keep trying for 6months and if nothing, maybe then invest... x

laurah92 · 19/04/2020 17:00

@Fawnandwren have you got any children or will this be your first? I only came off the pill in January but I'm slightly concerned that I am not ovulating, I'm getting positive ovulation tests every month but I always seem to end up with two peaks in a month and I don't really get any other sign of ovulation apart from a few twinges around when I could be ovulating. How long did it take your body to go back to normal when coming off pill? X

Fawnandwren · 19/04/2020 16:04

Should say properly 🙄

Fawnandwren · 19/04/2020 15:43

@laurah92 probably trying since Nov but with ovusense since end of feb. The sticks were really unhelpful for me I always had flashing smiley faces but only once a static yet ovusense says I'm definitely ovulating. My mucus/discharge looks the same when I have it sometimes it's more or less or not at all, so I can't rely on that. I came off the pill 18months ago, but was being careful until last November. Hope that helps x

laurah92 · 19/04/2020 14:07

@Fawnandwren how long have you been ttc? I've came off the pill in January, I keep getting twinges down below around the time I believe I'm ovulating but that's about it. I always get wcm but haven't seen EWCM yet, I think my body is taking a while to kick start again probably after coming off pill x

laurah92 · 19/04/2020 14:04

@Littlebee1990 so you would be about 5dpo? Maybe wait another week and do a test, for me since Tuesday I have been getting really watery discharge and it's so heavy, so werid (sorry tmi) x

laurah92 · 19/04/2020 13:53

@Curious012 I'm ok thanks, how are you today? No I'm still only getting high results on ovulation test so hopefully it's just picking it up after ovulation. That's good news for you, fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞 I've had another big dip on my temperature, if I did ovulate last Sunday then I would be 7 dpo but I'm not sure, I'm getting twinges down below again today so I'm so confused x

Fawnandwren · 19/04/2020 12:01

OP meant Ovulation Pack

Fawnandwren · 19/04/2020 12:00

Ovulated 9th April dtd 6,8,10th April. So unlikely I'm going to get BFP as Ovusense only tells you after Ovulation. AF due on Tuesday, fingers crossed 🤞
I never get ovulation pains, find discharge observing difficult, OP sticks never seem to work. I have no implantation indications either.
Hope you all get you BFP ➕

Littlebee1990 · 19/04/2020 11:44

@laurah92 @Curious012 - According to my app (I didn’t have a proper test) I ovulated on the 14th. We DTD 11th, 12th & 16th (I had a stomach upset on 13-14th typical!) x

Curious012 · 19/04/2020 11:40

@Littlebee1990what CD are you on and how are you doing today? x

@laurah92 hope you’re doing okay. Pretty sure I’m now 3DPO as OPKs are still going down, now we wait! How’s your temp tracking going? Have you seen a surge on OPKS or anything x

laurah92 · 19/04/2020 11:26

@Littlebee1990 how many dpo are you? X

Littlebee1990 · 18/04/2020 22:37

Sorry probably TMI but I have really gloopy discharge this evening.. almost like glue and very milky in colour. Never had this before. Probably nothing but very strange
