Lockdown baby making...?!?!

Hi all!

Hope it's ok to join. My period finished Monday and I wasn't expecting to ovulate till next week however this test is throwing me. Anyone else think that's positive ovulation?

App has finally worked out I ovulated on CD12, now on CD16. Thankfully was a bit busy DTD around the right time so fingers crossed. Now to wait....

I am still waiting for my period to return after my ectopic surgery a month ago. Once it returns I'll start testing for ovulation and try again!

@Jj130816 not the pill but the implant but guess it’s similar. I had my implant out on the 23rd September and still waiting for a period. It’s completely normal. Hormonal contraception can really mess up your cycle.

It is possible to fall pregnant without a period first but unlikely. I would Atleast give it Atleast another couple of weeks before you test Xx

I'm taking supplements too but folic acid only and a high dose as I have had lots of times of folate deficiency anemia and I don't seem to get it from food properly.

Hi everyone I'm new here I was just wondering if anyone could give me any advice. Me & my husband have decided to try for a baby, I came off the mini pill cerelle near the end of Sept (before we decided we wanted another baby) and have been having unprotected sex since coming off the pill. I stopped the pill because I ran out and was waiting for an appointment to get some more when we decided to try, anyway I got an appointment with the nurse n explained my situation and she asked me to do a pregnancy test n obviously it came back negative but what I wanted to ask was has anyone came off n fell pregnant before their periods returned because I still haven't had a period and I'm starting to worry incase it's a sign it's too late for me to have another baby (I'm 37) if anyone has when did you take a test or how long should I leave it to test again?
Sorry for the long post it's just all strange to me as with my other kids I was just on the normal pill then came off when we decided to have kids n it happened pretty quick but it's all different since coming off this pill. Tia xx

Just pregnacare. Thinks that’s more than enough personally ☺️xx

Good to see others joining!

Hope you don't mind if I join too.

Currently CD 7, 6 weeks post implant removal - going to attempt the "sperms meets egg plan" this month so gearing up for a busy couple of weeks...

Hello ladies! Hope there is room for one more 😊

CD1 today and hoping for a good month!

I know trying to not get obsessed as the app is waiting to confirm ovulation yesterday by temp and LH says I did.

@AHobbyaweek Its so hard not to get obsessed though isn't it? Especially when you track anyway so you know when you should be DTD! My DH will get suspicious if I want it more than once/twice a week tho

Would like to join in too. Been using natural cycles as birth control for 6 months after implant to let my cycle become more regular. Now "trying without the pressure" according to DH so I'm already obsessed as I can see all my data in the app
Still not sure it is the right time with work being busy (DH stays at home) and finances. Could be better but my DD is 5 and don't want to have a very large gap.

@1992EM that makes a lot of sense thank you! My brain has been so muddled lately trying to work out what's happening I don't know whether I'm coming or going 😂 x

@SJ789 sorry I can't help cycle wise but I would start taking opks on cd1 which would be first day of AF if and when it shows. That way you have a clear idea and can start recording when you ovulate. I was told when coming off the pill it can take a while to get normal cycles back so hopefully that will happen soon for you.

@Jessi60 good luck 💕

Don’t even know what I’m writing anymore😂 it’s 28 days I’ve been off contraception not 23.

Contraception not contraction 😂😂

Hi guys, hoping it’s okay to join. My first month also. Only been off hormonal contraction for 23 days. Had a withdrawal bleed 5 days afterwards. No idea if I ovulated this month or not. No sign of a period Yet either Xxx

@Toastedsesame oops also forgot to say I don't really remember what my cycles were before being on the pill, unfortunately I've been on it for so long (over 10 years with no real breaks other than a month or so here and there). As a teenager I think they were a little sporadic but not as much as this. Really wish I'd been told how much they could affect your cycle later in life! X

@Toastedsesame Hi thank you for your reply!

Sadly my GP surgery is not the best 😔 so I have been putting off contacting them! I think if I'm still the same by January then I will have to.

Yes I think you're right with the opks, I got a job lot off Amazon about 50 I think so I will start using them every day until I get results! Wow that is quite a difference in when you thought you ovulated to when you actually did! Fingers crossed for you! X

@SJ789 Hi! Sounds like very irregular cycles, I know that can be the case straight after coming off the pill, but if it was back in June I'd perhaps schedule a chat with your GP? Can you remember what cycles were like before you took the pill?

With the opks might be worth stocking up on some cheapies to use once a day until you start seeing results, then you can narrow it down? i'm surprised to learn that I ovulated on cd10 this month, when I always thought it was cd18!

Hello all

May I join too please

Been ttc since beginning of June with no joy so far and wonder if anyone else has experienced the same - basically came off the pill in April, had withdrawal bleed as normal but then nothing for I think about 140ish days. Since then I've only had a couple of periods varying cycle lengths, one 40 days the other just 18 days so very confusing! Currently on cd31 with no hint of AF being on her way, I can't be sure I've ovulated I've tried measuring my bbt but that isn't making it clear so I have now bought some opks to try instead, it's just very hard to know when to start using them as I don't seem to have a consistent cycle length! CM is giving me no clues either as I have noticed a little ewcm on random days for a couple of weeks now

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Wishing you all luck in your ttc journeys! X

@crabette Definitely think we are heading that way 😔 . It won't affect my job or my partners. Just all the fun stuff you get to do 🙈. I am on cycle day 7 and won't ovulate until around cd16 to 18. I have 31 day cycles usually.

@upschittscreek I use flo too and find it pretty accurate. My cycles are usually 31 days but since ttc i have had a 35 day cycle and a 28 day cycle . the rest have been 31. I use one step opks throughout my cycle and then cb opks to confirm ovulation.
@kirinm Good luck, I hope you get your BFP. are you using opks or anything different this month?

Is anyone doing anything different this month? I have looked up maca root and it is supposed to help fertility so I have started taking that with seven seas and a stronger folic acid ( I have low b12 which I get injections for ). I also use opks and flo to track my cycle. Good luck to everyone in their tww.

@upschittscreek that's good! Makes it slightly easier to track when you get ovulation pains - I get them too, I never used to but after having my son they are loud and clear! We conceived first time round last pregnancy, but I think it's going to be a longer road this time as I have an autoimmune disease that can affect fertility and my cycles are all over the place. Range from 26 - 37 days.

I'm almost certain I ovulated today as had pains yesterday, headache and ewcm.
