10dpo... anyone with me?

Congratulations @jessi60 !

So I’m finally getting somewhere! So happy 😂
Af has showed today.. my first one since my implant removal. 27 days since my withdrawal bleed! X

@jennaxc ahh that makes sense.
I'm quite lucky we get to dtd quite often.
Even more so this month cause I'm off work for 4 weeks 🙈
Might give it one more month of trying to dtd as much as possible & then go from there.

Yes it's quite frustrating tbf. I don't think it helps because it's all I've wanted for the past couple of years it took my BF a little while to feel the same.

I'd love it to happen before Xmas tho 🥰
🤞 for us all!

@jennaxc AF showed up yesturday I'm pretty gutted this time 😩
But it's a new month...

Im still so torn about weather to use an ovulation kit. I don't know weather to just give it one more month without or weather to just use them.

Ooo that'll be so good, sounds like you've covered it 🤞

Haha i know I think the amount of pregnancy tests we go through as well it's just easier then getting your hopes up 😩

@jennaxc I'm feeling a little more drained?
Like I cba 😂 weather that's a symptom or I'm just lazy ha
I'm hungry all the time & constantly thinking about food
Apart from that & cramps nothing?
Just wanna know now tho 🙈

@rosiej95 thanks! I was gutted at the time but were in the process of getting another one just waiting for all the solicitor things to go through.

Ano it is nice to be able to talk to people. I haven’t told anyone about trying so nobody to talk to about it. My boyfriend is very laid back about it all and just says it will happen when it happens. Typical male response.

Have you had regular periods since coming off your contraception? And did you have a withdrawal bleed at first? Xx

@jessi60 ahh sorry to hear your house fell through 😔
it's deffo an eye opener! & literally one of the most emotional draining things but cannot wait to get a bfp to make it all worth it 😂
It's so nice tho being able to chat to others in the same situation.
We haven't told anyone we are ttc & there's only so much I can chew my boyfriends ear off about it 🙈

@rosiej95 Aw I hope so but my eyes have been well and truly opened into the world of TTC and how difficult it can be, so trying to be realistic in all of this.

Similar for me actually, I think I went on the pill from the age of 16/17 and was on this for 5 year and then had the implant for 5.5 in total I think. So it’s been a good ten years of my body being on hormonal contraception. Ideally I was going to get my implant out and that would be it, but me and my partner were in the middle of buying a house and it fell through and was a stressful time so I thought it wasn’t ideal to come off everything all together hence starting the pill but then I was horrendous on the pill this time around so just thought it was time to come off it all. And the time does feel right.

Yeah it will be our first

I haven’t had periods in all of this time either. So that’s why I’m unsure whether I would of ovulated this month and rang bleed was probably a withdrawal from the hormones. Xxx

@jessi60 hey 👋
I've heard you can be quite fertile after coming off birth control. Hopefully this is the case for you 🥰

Tbf until I started looking into ttc I didn't even realise about ovulation ect I was on the pill from 15 & then went on the implant then back on the pill so never had any periods for all that time.

Are you ttc your first? ☺️

Hi guys been reading through your posts from the start of this thread. Hopefully I’m okay to join.
This month was my first month TTC. Although don’t know if it can actually be classed as a first attempt or not lol. I had my implant out on the 23rd September. After having this for 6 years. No periods in this time. I started the combined pill a day after implant removal, took this for 12 days (long story to why I started the pill) - I then had horrendous side effects and stopped taking it. So been off hormonal contraception since the 5th October. I had a bleed 5 days later which lasted 5 days (I’m assuming this was a withdrawal bleed). I’ve had nothing since. Had regular unprotected sex this month. Sooo... I have no idea about my periods or even ovulation dates so abit useless in that sense. And aware that my chances are slim this month because I probably haven’t even ovulated.

I’ve learnt a lot just reading all of your posts on here. Looking forward to seeing you all get your BFP soon. Xxx

@jennaxc all good here Thankyou bored of this 2ww now 😂🙈
10dpo according to my app & bfn this morning
I had spotting 5dpo & then just been crampy but I'm not testing again now until Sunday/Monday

How are you doing? You still tracking? :)

Ahh sorry to hear AF is here for you's Nothing new to report here tbf 🤷🏼‍♀️😂
Haven't managed to dtd as much as I would have hoped but I'm hoping the apps wrong and ovulation could be this week? 😂😂
If it hasn't happened for this time then im deffo buying the ovulation sticks.

@rosieb060 haha! No I don't personally think so 🙈 ive been tempted myself haha!
have you seen ITS are bringing out a maternity range with Dani dyer? 😃

@rosiej95 I've bought maternity clothes already. Is that really bad?!

AF day three. Can't wait for her to go away

@jennaxc yup I’m on AF too!! Enjoyed the Prosecco today hahaha. How you doing

@rosiej95 Haha I wish! I’m getting brown spotting now quite a bit so I think she’s here. So annoyed. Hahaha oh wow I love this 😂 it’s always good to plan for your pregnancy outfits!!!

@AKcheer stuck on a roundabout somewhere 😂🙈
Hopefully she takes the 4th exit & goes in the opposite direction 😜🤞
It's such a rollercoaster of a journey this ttc.
I feel like I've turned a little crazy this month 😂 last month I was chilled this month I have maternity clothes in my basket on boohoo cause they have a massive sale on 🙄😂

@rosiej95 Yeah I have seen but now I feel a bit crampy (less then last month though haha) and have had some brownish spotting like a tiny bit so I think AF is en route it must be stuck on a roundabout somewhere!!!

Ooh exciting!! Yes DTD through these days! Positive energy and baby dust to you!!

@AKcheer Some people on here have also said they had way more symptoms when af was arriving then when they got there bfp 😜 🤞 she stays away for you!

I don't use the sticks but my app is telling me ovulation is tomorrow I'm not taking that as 100% tbf so will just continue dtd to cover all bases 🤷🏼‍♀️

@rosiej95Hey how are you? I’m ok patiently waiting got AF. She should be here in the next 2/3 days. I’m getting on and off AF symptoms I think. I don’t know I think sometimes things are in my head who knows. I haven’t got symptoms like other people on here say. At this time people say they are so tired and have achy boobs I kind of feel mostly normal so no idea. I won’t test early anyway not feeling hopeful but we will see! How you doing

@jennaxc ha! I'm basically just trying to cover all the days 😂 tbh not sure I can do everyday all the time maybe every couple haha.

I've heard of people having no symptoms & getting a BFP! So 🤞
The waiting I think is deffo the worst part!

@AKcheer how are you getting on? 😊
