Post Pill TTC - Rave on

@LauraT94 sounds like a rough day, hope you are doing as well as can be ❤️

@LauraT94 😪 It sounds like you have had a very difficult day. I hope you are being looked after. Glad you have a good support group with @AMS19. Thinking of you girls x

@LauraT94 😔❤️ Hope you’re doing ok. I can’t imagine how awful that must be. Looking forward to having you back here when you’re ready. Thinking of you x

Congratulations on the BFPs @Katelyn99 and @Mol234 and potentially any others I've missed in my absence!

@Juno231 something must be feeling different for you to test on an afternoon wee?! More sensitive test with your FMU? Or will you wait now?

Sorry for being so in and out, I'm trying to keep up as best I can but I'm a bit all over the place! @AMS19 set up a lovely MC/MMC support thread for us and it's saving me at the moment!!

I was in the hospital most of today having a procedure to end my pregnancy after the MMC was confirmed again (long story). Was a horrendous experience but I'm so glad it's over now! Now on the 'Three Week Wait' for a BFN haha!

Nurse today suggested waiting until we'd had a period before TTC again but I'm going to just trust my body and my emotions. If I want to TTC again before period, I will do. But I'll definitely wait for BFN first.

Hope everyone's doing ok! I'll be in and out again over the next few weeks until I'm ready xx

@Mol234 and @Katelyn99 huge congrats on your bfps!!! Amazing news.

@TheDaydreamBelievers that’s great you’ve been given the go ahead and got a peak OPK.

@Juno231 sorry about bfn but definitely not out yet and great that your RHR has gone up!

@Kay00 sorry about the inflammation but good that your gp is looking into it. Sorry there’s still no ovulation yet. I really felt your pain this cycle. Hopefully it hurries up and happens in the next day or 2.

I’m praying I have ovulated but I’m waiting to see what my temps do. My new pack of 50 OPKs arrived today as I burned through them this cycle 😂

@Kay00 Oh no, sorry its not great still ☹Good that you seem to have a proactive doctor though! Hopefully the blood tests will shed some light on it. It might be worth mentioning that you've been ttc for seven months when you get the results...no harm in dropping that in there and seeing what she says!

@Moocher90 I agree with @Juno231 - Cd13 is still early. Do you have any other signs like ewcm? I stopped the vit B but only because on the 2nd full month of taking it I didnt get a positive opk until really late and then had only 5 days before I started spotting. I wasnt sure if it was related or not but I felt the same as you and thought I'd be best going back to basics!

Just been watching RuPaul's drag race UK. Managed to convince the DH to watch it with me 😂 he was like 😳😂

I am a bit interested/concerned about how inflammatory flare ups might be effecting my TTC chances... but let's deal with one problem at a time 🤔

@flyinggiraffe haha, it does start getting difficult to work out your age after about 33 😅 maybe im just trying to forget.

Inflammation was bad all yesterday and still not great today. Doctor was great, she thinks this new inflammation ties up some of my other odd symptoms so I have blood tests on Tuesday and I'll be referred to a gastroenterologist.

Once AF arrives I think I will cut down on my supplements. I wonder if me taking the vit B the whole cycle is not assisting with ovulation.... I take omega 3 6 9 and not sure if I should be either?

CD13 and stark white on Opks today :/ no positive OPKs yet either. Temps are still relatively low too!
@Mol234 congrats on BFP
@TheDaydreamBelievers congrats on positive opk

Was nice catching up on the thread. My DH is pretty good in regards to BD and I just tell him when I require his services 😂 at the mo I don’t have a clue about ovulation as I’m still not regular yet and not had a blazing positive OPK. I often leave piss pots lying around when I have forgot to empty them and he just jokes about with me! Also get him to take supplements but I have to remind him otherwise he wouldn’t take them. Sometimes it’s so easy being a man

@sperr I forgot to say, how have you not re-tested yet?! Are you cycles regular normally? Have you been temping? I'm so impressed by your willpower!

@Kay00 I'm glad I'm not the only 35 year old here! I honestly thought I was 36 the other week when a co-worker corrected me! How is the inflammation today? Did you speak to the GP?

@Flowers222 I'm not sure we're going to have the stamina for SMEP either to be honest! Ha! We've only done day one so we'll soon see!

@Juno231 Fingers crossed your temp rises again tomorrow! Your RHR is looking good!

@MissC07 @Nellieee @ChinChilly @juno231 @flowers222 Your stories about your OH's have had me chuckling! Mine is pretty good, but then again I haven't left a pee pot out for him to find yet! He loves taking vitamins - I hadn't even thought about asking him to take more. He takes as many as me already I think! He's so health conscious...I do wish it rubbed off on me! I'm just too happy eating all the Xmas chocolate still!

@MissC07 i don’t think men can be trained! Some days I look at him and wonder how he’s got through life for this long 🤣🤣🤣

@Juno231 @Nellieee @Sperr @Flowers222 I'm glad there's a safe place for us on this forum to rant and realise the similarities between our OH's! Final moan from me tonight... it's not acceptable to leave my empty pee pot neatly near the toilet, but it's ok for him to leave his dirty pants on the floor? 🤷‍♀️ Sometimes I'm really jealous of the Virgin Mary 😂

@Endlessstars @Ttcin2021 Welcome!! Wishing you lots of luck on your journeys ✨

@Ttcin2021 @Endlessstars Welcome!

Hahaha... when in doubt, bang it out ... i'm totally using that one!

@Juno231 yeah that’s what I was thinking! Haha...... if we have dtd yesterday and 2 days before that is that also good? Doesn’t have to specifically be on the day?!

Welcome to the bus @Endlessstars you’ll find everything from the crazy long to the weirdly short cycles in here and everything in between so you’re definitely in the right place

Hey @Ttcin2021 it’s perfectly plausible to ovulate before your first period and catch it. Egg white CM is definitely a sign, have you done any ovulation sticks?

BBT sometimes dips the day before ovulating I think, but you need to take BBT times at the same time every day to establish a pattern

Hi everyone, I have been reading this thread for a couple of weeks now and finally plucked up the courage to post as I’ve realised TTC is going to be one hell of an emotional rollercoaster! You all seem super lovely so hoping I can join for some support and I’ll be able to offer some back too!

My story so far is I came off the pill after 12 years in September, had a withdrawal straight away as usual then have had 3 40ish day natural cycles since. Didn’t “try” for the first two cycles but started using the clue app to keep track of things. Last cycle was first one trying so I used clear blue digi sticks and got a peak around day 30 but AF 10 days later...which was the same day as a friend’s preg announcement. I then realised that this may not be as easy as I thought and going it alone doesn’t feel like the answer! (Safety in numbers, right!?)

Someone close to me also recently told me she and her partner have been diagnosed with unexplained infertility plus a few of my friends are pregnant (all first time, not really trying etc..!) so decided to get things checked out just in case and prevent panic mode setting in. Had an internal scan and my husband had an SA, my results were all normal and his results were good with a high count etc (naturally he’s been bouncing around the house super pleased with himself).

Anyway that’s me...CD16 atm...long old wait for the big O if last cycle is anything to go by...

Looking forward to chatting with you all and hopefully keeping eachother sane!

Oh also measured BBT and it’s gone down

Hi there

Me again..... I’ve been reading all your messages. You lot are the TTC bible, your knowledge is amazing and really helpful so thank you.
Came off cerazette on 3rd Jan and felt like I have ovulation pain/ feeling yest and today have the CM that people talk about (egg white?).... could I be ovulating without having had a period yet?

Thanks

@MissC07 my OH is the same haha he seems to always ask "you pregnant yet?" And I have to explain every time that it's the 2ww for a reason! But he's really not that bad. He does ask when my fertile week is and sits there patiently when I excitedly show him my temps. Doesn't take his supplements though unless I force them on him and moans when I ask him to cut down on caffeine 🙄
