Post Pill TTC - Rave on

@Elsie2021 Welcome!! Here to hoping to Ov in the next few days!

I'm on CD22 and still getting rubbish lines on my OPKs. I think something is happening though as my cervix is high, soft an open and I have been getting (what i'm pretty sure is) ovulation pains all morning.

I only have 10 x OPKs left though... at my current rate that will only last me for 3 more days!! Eeek!

@Juno231 I expect it will go down further over the next few days 🙄 glad it was O for you yesterday...oh god the dreaded TWW it’s always such a drag. I’m thinking about throwing BBT into the mix for this cycle 🤔

Welcome @Elsie2021 the EWCM sounds good I normally get abit on the run up to O, hopefully it happens for you soon!

Hi everyone 🙂

I’ve been following this thread for a long time. Came off the pill in February last year and have had long cycles ever since- around 40 days long, ovulating around cd30.

The last two months have been better. Ovulated on cd 22 two months ago and cd 18 last month.

We weren’t TTC until this month (toyed with the idea of starting last month but didn’t in the end as had a lot on).

Currently CD12 and already getting anxious for O to happen! I’m very anxious that my long cycles might return and making myself more anxious by telling myself not to be anxious because I’ll make it worse!

OPKs are currently low (as expected) have been checking CM and haven’t really had much of anything the last few days but did just get a small blob of EWCM but not sure if that’s just an anomaly because normally I do have that ‘wet’ feeling leading up to O. But it’s still early days even if I was to O on cd 17 again.

Just 🤞 it happens soon. We are DTD every other day and when I start to get some more signs O is coming we’ll be doing it every day.

Luckily for me my OH is quite happy with the arrangement 😂 if anything he doesn’t understand why it can’t be every day the whole time! 😴

@Juno231 I get what you mean with the OPKs they’re all just as dark, I’ve got no idea taking the first day as peak so you are probably right! One of them i left in the piss pot for too long so the reading probably isn’t accurate. Sucks you didn’t get to DTD, did you manage to BD before the peak reading?

My RHR is trolling me again, I’m sure it will continue dropping for the next few days 😂

@Juno231 my DH has been up to it the last 3 nights but tonight didn't go as planned, he desperately wants a baby and said for some reason tonight he felt under pressure.. I told him to relax and we'll call it a night.. not easy for them either I suppose!

Well I thought I best pop a tampon in just incase as we had a new mattress delivery yesterday and I had visions of ruining it straight away and there was quite alot of excess on the applicator so I’m guessing she will be here tomorrow!

@FlyingGiraffe @crabette totally agree, I didn’t expect it to take this long, I stopped taking the pill mid June and fully expected to be pregnant by now, every month gets more disheartening

@FlyingGiraffe 😭 I never thought it would take this long either! I came off pill in July. Wish they would tell you this before you started taking it!

@crabette I had super light periods for 5 months or so, then the last couple of cycles before this one I had about 5 days of spotting, followed by one or two days of proper AF. I can still get away with a liner most days too though. Fingers crossed my temperature drops now and its over with a bit quicker. I think my body is still regulating itself after the pill! Never thought it would take this long!

@ChinChilly Your LH defo looks darker CD18? And I'd say you're pretty regular! Weird no AF yet. See what happens tomo, maybe try an IC just to be sure?

@FlyingGiraffe My BBT is usually at cover or below before start of AF - but I will say I'm super light too, and have been for like 6 months. Like, a little brown spotting for a day or two, maybe a day of wiping red. Hardly anything on a pad, pretty sure I could use a pantyliner and be fine. But I do get cramp etc and other symptoms, it's weird. Hope you get a full flow tomorrow!

@FlyingGiraffe I don’t BBT I’m afraid so I can’t help! @Mol234 I’m guessing I’ll see if she arrives by the morning.

@ChinChilly yeah I wonder if you ovulated a bit later (say cd19 or 20) - I guess you’ll find out over the next few days but may be worth doing another pg test just in case

@FlyingGiraffe I can’t comment I’m afraid as I haven’t had an AF yet post pill however I did think that your temp tended to drop before AF turned up? Maybe it’ll turn up properly tomorrow

Evening ladies, hope everyone is well?

I think I'm CD1 this evening. I've had the slightest bit of brown spotting yesterday and today but I've had some red tonight.

Does anyone else find that they start AF or spotting before their bbt has dropped below the coverline? I'm wondering if my temperature will drop properly and that's when I'll have a full days flow. It's very light at the moment.

@ChinChilly your day 18 opk definitely looks dark enough to be a peak to me. You may not have ovulated until 24-36 hours after that so you might not be as far along as 13dpo? Fingers crossed for you!

@Moocher90 @Mol234 thanks both, according to premom I ovulated CD18 but I think the OPK on CD18 look darker than 17 which it has at peak.

@ChinChilly I would agree, looks pretty regular. Is it possible you ovulated later than you thought?

@ChinChilly
You are generally between 27-32 days I would say that is regular.

@Moocher90 yeah fair regular, AF was late last month but im pretty sure I had a chemical.

Would you ladies say these are regular cycles?..im currently on CD31 so December’s hasn’t logged on there yet

@ChinChilly fair enough. Strange that the period has not come yet as usually you are very regular from memory?

@Rd123 @Moocher90 I tested on 1st and had what must of been an evap as the 2nd was a BFN I’m CD31 13DPO so probably too late for implantation plus mr RHR is dropping 😕

@ChinChilly have you tested again? U got a cheapie u can check with?

@ChinChilly sounds like implantation spotting! Fingers crossed for you.. what CD Are you? Sorry if you said before I’ve a few messages to catch up on!

Hey all, just catching up on the thread today! I’m glad I’m not the only won who’s OH isn’t the most cooperate when it comes to BD! It’s the scheduled element that is most disliked 🤣 otherwise it’s fine!

These posts have got me thinking how I’d announce my BFP - I always thought I’d wait to tell family until 13 weeks but maybe I wouldn’t... hmmm! Will see how I feel when the time comes!

I had another slight temp rise this morning so if I have another tomorrow it should confirm ovulation. My nips have been so sore for the past 3 days (sorry TMI) so hopefully that’s a good sign! I also had my bloods done this morning and have an appointment booked with the doctor to discuss the results in 2 weeks time.

My OH is a pest, when I was on the pill and had zero sex drive it was a right pain!

Still no AF, I’ve had a pad on all day and there is not a drop on it just pinky/brown cm when i wipe! No cramps, no sore boobs, no PMT...nothing
