Post Pill TTC Party

@TheDaydreamBelievers @Kay00 Ahh! I can't say I blame you, Im thinking of testing Sunday which is 10DPO but i have a feeling i won't see anything and then Ill be annoyed at myself but then i can always test on 13DPO if AF hasn't arrived.
My app is predicting a 29 day cycle which is the longest its been so far so not sure ill make it to 13DPO but we shall see. I ovulated a lot later this cycle so just hoping the LP matches to my app.

Both still very early so actually not out yet :) on a positive though its good the LP phases are getting to a good number!

On the plus side im 9DPO and no AF yet... I have felt like she was going to start any moment for the past 2 days, but I think that's because I concentrating on my uterus so much - haha!

Oh no... you folded me too! Its my first every pregnancy test, I just wanted to try it... I knew it would be negative, and it was, haha!

@Sarahp2308 Im about 3 cycles off the pill now as well :) just hoping it stays regular!

@Kay00 same with us! He says if it happens it happens but theres me testing twice a day for my peak 🤣 i don't think he realises how small the window can be

@Kay00 I think that is going to be me from this month on 🤣 I’m not temping at the mo though I’m not sure I could commit to it to be honest!

I’ve just started a 14 month training course at work which could be a problem but I couldn’t turn it down

Hehe, my partner thinks we are doing the 'casual TTC' when actually, behind the scenes i'm tracking everything: BBT, OPKs, Cervix, CM etc.

Thank you @Flowerkm & @Kay00 I only came off the pill at the beginning of June so this only my 3rd cycle so the regular AF could all change lol! We’re just doing the whole casual TTC for now, not sure how long that will last though

@TheDaydreamBelievers Good luck for Sunday ☺️

@Kay00 Have a lovely time camping.

@Sarahp2308 Sounds like a good plan, they're a good starting point 😀

@Sarahp2308 excellent, we'll be with you the whole way and will try answer any questions you have. Im going to hazard a guess that you are ovulating due to your regular cycles how long have you been ttc?

@Flowerkm AF Seems pretty regular so far every 28-30 days, I’m not sure when I ovulate because I’m not entirely convinced I am ovulating at all. I’ll get a load of cheapies in and prepare for about a week of testing! Fingers crossed something shows up on them

Haha, If I make it to 13DPO then I will have convinced myself im pregnant!!

Im camping this weekend (again!!) so if I haven't seen AF by Sunday then ill test Monday... im sure she'll arrive this week though.

@Kay00 🤣🤣 Omg, thats brilliant! Ok, so I'm not the only one prodding my boobs!!
Im 5DPO today :)

@Sarahp2308 do you have any indication on when you think you ovulate or how long your cycles are? I think by CD9/10 you should be testing but be prepared to maybe be testing for a few days as you may not ovulate until CD16 or more.
I always used the cheapies when finding out as it was just a cheaper way of pin pointing ovulation ☺️

Hi Everyone,

@TheDaydreamBelievers love that, its all so true!

So I am CD8 and I am going to use OPK this cycle to try and give me some indication if I’m ovulating or not (not 100% accurate I know) which CD should I start testing?

@Flowerkm how many DPO are you?

Oh haha 😆 just as I read you last sentence I was poking myself in the boobs! 🤣 nope... mine feel completely normal.

Ooh... i have one possible symptom... im drinking and peeing more that normal. But that can be a symptom of your AF arriving... so I'll ignore that too 🙂

@Kay00 you can do this!! Few more days. Im starting to feel more urges to POAS 🙈 felt crampy today as if AF was coming but again thats quite normal for me to 'feel' things so trying to reign it in 😂
Also no sore boobs so far?? Always have sore boobs 2DPO and nothing so far so hoping I even ovulated and trying not to overthink it all as maybe my hormones are just calming down a bit so the soreness isn't as bad.

So glad i have this place to let it out. OH looked at me oddly when I was seeing if my boobs were sore 😂😂

Thanks @Kay00 and @Flowerkm I definitely feel better already 😊

@TheDaydreamBelievers Hehe, im in the same boat... 8DPO and each twinge has is being exaggerated into an implementation pain . I don't really have any symptoms other than feeling like AF was going to turn up today... so glad she hasn't. My goal is to make it beyond 10DPO!

@lawandgin oh wow! Its amazing that you have been to see a specialist and you now have a proper plan of action. How exciting!! You will have your period soon and you can start testing to find out whats going on! So please for you!

@TheDaydreamBelievers Aw, that did make me chuckle, it really does drive us a little silly but all of those symptoms could be pregnancy related so not too mad :P

@lawandgin Thats good you've been seen and are having the right tests and got the ball rolling.
Glad you're feeling better about it all and its made a difference already to how you feel ☺️

Hi all. Well by some miracle, I actually got seen by a gynecologist today! He was so lovely and it went okay. Took a full history and had an internal ultrasound. Good news - antral follicle count of 35! Bad news - my ovaries definitely aren't doing much, although they do look healthy. He thinks at my age (32) and with being off the pill for four months, this is not related to the pill and there "is something else going on". So he's given me a prescription for norethisterone to induce a bleed (house rules: you must take a pregnancy test before taking it... OKAY BUT we've all just been looking at my empty uterus, but fine) which I will start tomorrow for five days. Should get a bleed 5 days later. I am to call and arrange blood tests for CD 2 - 5. He is testing AMH, LH, FSH, TSH and estradiol. Not testosterone, so I assume he doesnt think I have PCOS, especially after the ultrasound.

I am so glad I did this, it's so empowering just to know even a little bit of what's going on. Plus, I can stop POAS like a maniac 😂

@kay00 I thought that at first and double checked but no, I def started no earlier (even spotting wise) than the 4th. Fingers crossed CD7 clinched the deal - I think CD11 was too late as that was an evening one.
