Baby Bandwagon March TTC

@Misswhoshallnotbenamed congratulations!!
I don't see why it would be a false positive especially if you are late. I think some people don't get symptoms until further along x

@Misswhoshallnotbenamed I don't think there is much chance it could be wrong... Congratulations! Let yourself believe it and enjoy your good news😊

@Annannanna I only tracked with opk I don't do temps because I'm a terrible sleeper can be up 5 times a night reading my book for half an hour😂... I'm got no symptoms of Af atall either it's so strange. I think my intermet cheapie tests I got this month are just rubbish so if Af hasn't shown her face in a few days then I will order some frer

Think I’m out this month (10dpo) and have started spotting which is normal before AF starts

Ladies!!!!!!! I am shocked even posting this... I thought I was out... I did an ERER like 2/3 days before period was due and posted on here to let you know... and it was stark white.... I have had 0 symptoms too.... I’m now 4 days late (but thought I was late because I’ve been soooo stressed with work and other life problems and also have lost abit of weight where not eating that much) and so I thought let me just do a test as I’m 4 days late and I genuinely thought it would be negative..... it was positive 2-3 weeks on the digital clear blue!!!!!! I’ve only done 1 test but is there any chance it could be a false positive? I’m just soooo shocked... I always read all of you ladies who have been lucky enough to get BFP’s and all the symptoms you got before etc.... I haven’t had 1 single symptom!!!

No AF here still so basically my cycle has gone on holiday and I just feel stuck until I get some indication of what’s going on? So I’m not really ttc...

@1sttime21 how frustrating, did you track ovulation?

@1sttime21 Not here 😔 just my BFN on Tuesday, refuse to take another now till after weekend as it's awful!
I STILL have the brown watery CM as mentioned below, just after two wipes today!
Really hope it's a good sign, just seems too long!

Anymore bfp today? Still no sign of Af for me and still bfn😩 getting tired of it now

Tested this morning and bfn.. Af is due today so let's hope she shows herself so I can get onto planning next month

Soooo another day & AF still hasn't turned up...there is one speck of brown in the pad after sleep, and watery brown when I wiped after a wee.
It's really teasing me now, if she's gonna show up she just needs to rear her ugly head now...this spotting started on Sunday 6PO now I'm 9DPO a and it's not going away but not getting worse 😤

I don't want to get excited as I just feel likes it's coming, but this is so out the ordinary for me so I can't help it! With the BFN yesterday though maybe I should stop!

Torture!

@MisssSarahhh heya and welcome!

Just read your post. I came off the pill on 26th December and had my first cycle on 29th January and currently on my second cycle. My cycles are a bit random at the moment but can take a while to get back to normal so don't worry too much!

Are you taking ovulation tests? These would be really helpful for you if you've been on contraception a long time. I have bought the advance clear blue digital ones and they are on offer for £26 on Amazon at the moment - well worth the price as they have detected my high and peak fertility days and I've not had to use too many of them.

I have heard of people falling pregnant immediately after coming off the pill so I'd maybe test 2 weeks after you think you may have conceived unless your period shows up before.

Are you taking any supplements like folic acid? Xx

I never heard of a bbt converter either @WillowRose1411 my temps have been taken at several different times, 5am, 6ish, 7ish etc, literally when I wake for a wee and quickly do it 😆
Thanks for that!

@WillowRose1411 Ok fab thank you, I've read good things about the Seven Seas ones! I'll have a look. Thanks for all of your help 🙂 xx

@WillowRose1411 Oh wow I didn't know that was a thing! Ok that's great, thanks for the advice! Don't suppose you know much about vitamins to help with conception do you? I started taking folic acid already and have been reading things about vitamin B6 and that it helps with possibly lengthening the Luteal phase? X

@WillowRose1411 Okay no worries, just appreciate the reply so thank you so much! It’s nice having a place like this so we can all go through the TTC process together 🙂

@WillowRose1411 Haha you sound like me then! Well, it differs really.. it was always 5am but thankfully he's got later recently... usually between 6 and 6:30.
Currently working from home though so not having to get up as early - but starting back in the office as of the 30th March and I'll be up at 5:30am Tuesday - Friday. Don't really want to be setting my alarm sat/sun/mon at 5:30 to do temp and I don't think my OH would appreciate it either. So I don't really know where to start with it all! 🤯

@WillowRose1411 (Sorry if this is long!) So I have pcos so periods have always been irregular but I did have them just every one every few months or so instead of every month religiously. No other pcos symptoms and periods were always light and short when I did have them. Been taking the mini pill cerelle for almost 2 years but a stopped taking last Monday (8th March) to start trying to conceive 🙂

So DTD Sunday the 7th with a condom but was out of date 🤦🏻‍♀️ But took my last pill that evening.

Then DTD first time completely unprotected on Wednesday the 10th and Saturday the 13th.

Across Monday and Tuesday this week 15th/16th I’ve had slight cramping in lower pelvis and back. And today Tuesday 15th I’ve been exhausted.

Just wondering I know it’s so early but are these symptoms just coming off the pill symptoms? I feel they are too early for the first lots of unprotected sex from the Wednesday and Saturday as not even been a week. But because I don’t know when I ovulated could I possibly ovulated that Wednesday and implanted now and that’s the cramps? Can you ovulate only a few days after stopping the mini pill? Or is there even a chance these symptoms are very early signs of pregnancy from the out of date condom day? Is it possible even with pcos I could be very fertile right now since I’ve heard you can be most fertile when stopping the pill?

Sorry I know I have so many questions but I’m so new to this and very excited and hopeful so any advice or similar experiences would be handy! 😄 Look forward to chatting with you all!

Thanks so much everyone.

I am definitely considering making a complaint in. I've never in my life made a complaint before haha so might wait until my emotions settle a little bit before doing anything 🤣

@WillowRose1411 I didn't really want to as I feel that it just adds to the stress but it looks like I'm going to have to do it really.
It's so hard because I'm up and down every night to my toddler and as soon as he's awake in the morning, I'm up and having to go straight in to him. I've read lots of posts about it and noticed that you have to do it every morning around the same time when you get up, is that right? X
