Newbies and experts

[justb01]

Hi, I'm a newbie here and ttc newbie as well! I'm looking for buddies to share experience. Who's with me?Experts tips always welcome
We've been ttc for fe months, before NTNP. However now I'm starting to feel the pressure for BFP.

Thanks V, I've got my fingers crossed for you too . And 13dpo isn't really early, it may show you something (eek!). That's the thing with this ttc business, everyone is different. I've read so many things with people saying they got a BFP at day 9/10/11 etc. and others where they kept getting BFNs early on. I really do hope its your month. But if its not to be this time round I think your holiday is perfect timing for a good try for next month! And if af does arrive at least you can hit the cocktails!!

Keden I can definitely see a line but as an opk virgin i'm afraid I don't really know what i'm looking at so best to wait for someone who does! I am planning on using them next cycle if af pays me a visit at the weekend so let me know how you get on, good luck

Hi Keden I can see a line, it's a teeny bit lighter than the control line but not much, I'd get DTD ASAP :) am sure if you've done another one today both lines will be v dark, good luck!

Thanks onelife this waiting game is hard. Looking forward to your update on Friday. I had really bad cramping last night but AF not due untill 5th which is odd, either way you're right our holiday falls over my fertile time so at least we can DTD lots if no joy this month

Hi Vicky, yes it is. I did DTD last night and this morning . Had to as DP travels for work this afternoon and isn't back till Friday. So it was now or never to try and get a BFP for Cycle 2.

In fact the line today is darker than the control line! You may be able to click on the link below now. Plus definite signs of EWCM. So I am convinced I've ovulated & now I just wait

Woohoo!! That is definitely a positive OPK, sounds like you've done what you need to to be in with a good chance this month good luck, I have my fingers crossed for you!

Hi all update from me! Ive had my hospital appointment this morning which has confirmed pcos. However I have been put straight on to clomid and the doctor seems to think I will be pregnant by Christmas so fingers crossed

Hi woodwaj sorry to hear about PCOS, but great news they have out you on Clomid straight away, really hope that works out for you. Keep us all updated on your progress

It explains all the flashing smileys!! I will defo keep you posted, and good luck on your 2WW!! x

Hi woodwaj, good to hear from you, I was wondering where you'd got to, glad you're ok! Sorry about the pcos but sounds like they've got you sorted and wishing you lots of luck and baby dust with it all

Hows your 2ww going V?? Any symptom spotting craziness yet? I've managed not to poas, it's been hard at times but don't want to cave, want to wait til Fri, it's almost here now thank goodness!

Thanks onelife im quite positive about it and I started my tablets this morning to bring on Af so I should be able to start clomid soon!

I can imagine today is going to go extra slow for you!!

If anyone wants them I have 2 sticks for the clearblue dual ovulation kit not many but they are expensive!

Hi onelife not long for you now! Looking forward to your update tomorrow and hoping it's good news when you POAS!

My mind has been in overdrive. Trying not to symptom spot but it's on my mind a lot, have been very bloated for about 4 days now (probably eaten too much!) and have really sore nipples - sorry TMI alert!

Waiting is hard but have to hold out until next Tues/Weds if AF doesn't get me first. I had heard that coming off pill can give you a very short luteal phase so every day AF stays away is a good one, one week down, 6 days to go

Hi Vicky - is this your first month off the pill? I'm currently in my first af since coming off it and pill withdrawal gave me so many symptoms. My luteal phase was only seven days and was unexpected so I was gutted but am trying to be positive and focus on the fact that at least I ovulated and had a period in month one. Am scared that my luteal phase will be short for a long time though :(

Hi all im new to the forum today, I came off the pill in December and it took me about 3-4 months before I got a period. Even now it doesnt seem to have settled down, however I do get some occasional bleeding for a few days. I was on the pill for 12 years so expecting it will take time to get back to normal. Had a nightmare with my skin after coming off the pill but feel much happier (read less moody). Wish I had come off it years ago! Doh!

Have ordered ovulation kits (it will take me time to get used to all the abbreviations on here) and waiting to see how it goes.

Good luck, butler! I came off the pill last month after 12 years. Opks really helped me so I hope you find them useful.

Thanks Vjones1985, appreciate it. Will give them a try and see how we get on.

Hi VJones yes, this is my first cycle off the pill (after around 11/12 years) although I had got quite lazy taking it over the last six months or so . I'm not really expecting a lot this cycle, but the OPK confirmed I actually ovulated which is great so I'm guessing AF will turn up some time soon, I'm just taking each day she stays away as a bonus, I'm on 7 dpo now. If I can get to 10 or 11 dpo before AF that would be nice 14 would be nicer!), just to know my cycle is kind of back on track but would be sooooo lovely to get a BFP instead :)

Sorry AF got you this month, apparently Vitamin B6 is worth a try to lengthen your luteal phase. I'll see you on the September bus and keep my fingers crossed for you.

Welcome Butler. Good luck with everything, I found the OPKs really helped me to understand what was happening and when this month, if I don't have any luck with BFP this month I will carry on using them next month.

Yeah, heard about b6 and think I'll use it if my luteal phase doesn't improve in a month or two.

Hi ladies. Yes today has been loooooong but nearly through it now, just hoping af doesn't arrive to spoil my poas plans! Will keep you posted, eek!
Hope you're all getting on ok and hello to Butler, welcome to the mad (but v supportive& lovely) house

Im looking forward to your post tomorrow, Good Luck!!

Good luck for tomorrow! Will be checking in in the morning, fingers crossed for you onelife

Morning ladies,

I'm afraid it's a BFN (from two tests, no hint of a line on either despite holding them up to the window at all angles!) I made myself laugh actually as i was so excited about doing it and was so busy lining up my tests and stopwatch on my mobile that I thought to myself i'll just have a wee before i get started, almost did it down the loo without thinking, d'oh!

I'm obviously disappointed as it would've been so lovely if it had been a BFP but wasn't really expecting it this time round so it's not felt as such a shock as last time. Still feeling positive and really keen to start using opk this month - what brand are you guys using??

Sorry to hear that onelife no AF yet though? Personally I used clearblue but they are expensive maybe try some cheaper amazon ones and if your not too keen then upgrade. I would recommend them though

Morning, sorry to hear that onelife but if AF hasn't shown up it's not definitely over for this month.

I found the OPK really useful. I used Clear Blue digi, they were a bit pricey but very user friendly and I will use again next month if no joy this month.

Thanks girls. Yes will sit on my hands til af shows up but got a feeling she's on her way, won't order anything though til she shows cos you never know miracles happen !

This ttc business is funny isn't it, woodwaj is desperately wishing for af to come so she can get cracking and me and Vicks are desperately wishing she'll stay the hell away!!!

Its mad how different it is for everyone!! One thing is for sure, time is standing still for all of us waiting for something!!

Sorry to hear about that OneLife.

I'm way early in my 2WW, can't POAS until September 10. The agony
