The August BFP bus PART 3! Because we just can't stop chatting!!!!!!

[gillywillywoo]

The old thread is filling up so fast because we are a bunch of gossipy ladies that can't stop talking!

More BFPs please!!!

[m33r]

Vjones. I'm gutted for you. Only advice I have is to take a bit of down time, then grab a coffee/wine/choccies and get back on the horse (so-to-speak). ;-)

[Sparrowlegs248]

M33r i was on the depo jab. Last jab sept 2012......first af june 2013!! A long wait......

[ArmyLovin]

Congrats madasabox!
Vjones I wouldn't feel too downhearted (I know that's hard) but it's only your first cycle off of pill and GP told me that I should wait until I had first bleed after pill to start trying, that was 8 months ago lol.

[m33r]

Indeed Notta! Sorry if you've told me that before ; lose track of names sometimes. You're doing great to keep positive. An inspiration to me moaning about cycle 9 and 38 day cycles! :-)

[ArmyLovin]

That sounds like I haven't ha af since but I have.. God my heads all over the place this morning! I was just trying to say count this next cycle as a full cycle if you get me.

[leezl]

Just sticking my oar in to say I was on depo about five years ago and after about a year on it, it took me 18 months to get AF back. I didn't have any periods throughout my time on depo. Most recently I was on the implant and loved it, still had periods but felt really confident that I wouldn't fall pregnant (oh the irony!) and when I had it out AF came back perfectly normally! I knew I wanted to TTC in August/September 2013 so I had it out in January 2012 to prepare my body just in case it took a long time to get back to normal! Having never been on the pill for any great length of time I can't tell you how long it took me to get back to normal afterwards, but I think it's fair to allow your body a couple of months at least to settle down.

[VJONES1985]

Thank you everyone for your kind advice. Gonna have a cry and move onwards :)

[JellyBeanDavey]

Vjones - sorry she got you :( it may happen next cycle. Do everything the same next month (and don't stress).

This might be your first normal period which is a good starting point.

Bfn for me this morning. Not even a evap line to keep me happy lol

[m33r]

Great plan Notta. Remember you're not alone! X

[Writerwannabe83]

I'm sorry VJ - we all know how much you wanted it. Go easy on yourself, remind yourself that it can take some time to conceive after being on the Pill and that just because it didn't happen this month it doesn't mean you did anything wrong x x

[Sparrowlegs248]

Well i guess i'm at the other end of the scale m33r!

[gillywillywoo]

Congrats madasabox and sorry to those of you that AF caught up with.

She's caught up with me this morning too... Woke up with achy hips and cramps... Pinky red blood when I wiped

Very strange after definitely seeing faint lines on my tests a few days ago so that's a shame.....but nothing I can do.

I am feeling pleased in a way as this was the first cycle since coming off the pill last December where AF has come bang on time

Ok, I still had a 35 day cycle so still a bit longer than I would like but fertility friend said 27th August and AF has arrived today on 27th.
So hopefully this means my cycles are starting to become more regular

Gonna carry on using digi OPKs this cycle as they work for me and i still don't trust my cycles enough to know when I'll be ovulating.

Best friends hen weekend this weekend so I'm gonna let my hair done and have LOTS of cocktails!

Also got a hair appointment after work today at 5.30 so that'll make me happy!

Good luck to the rest of you... I'm sure I'll see some of you on the September bus too... Which is where I'm going now! X

[Sparrowlegs248]

Oops posted too soon......meant to say would quite like slightly longer cycles!

[m33r]

I met great plan vjones!

[Sparrowlegs248]

You sound pretty upbeat gilly - sorry she got you after all that but have a FAB hen weekend!

[VJONES1985]

Thanks writer. Hopefully I am actually ovulating and it won't take long for it to happen for me. Feeling pants now though! Headache and nausea! And I forgot what a real period is like - will have to buy night time sanitary towels for the first time in years!

[m33r]

And also great plan GIlly!

[Writerwannabe83]

I remember my first 'real period' after having my Mirena removed - it was like a blood bath so I empathise VJ

Gilly - how confusing!! But, you are doing the right thing in being positive about your cycle starting to regulate, that will definitely make TTC easier!! Enjoy the hen night and hopefully next month will be your time x

[charleslingus]

Sorry gilly how unfair to be teased by lines. Hopefully that was just a warm up for you getting your bfp in Sept, come along to the warm and slightly crisp Autumn air of the Sept bus once you've nursed a few screaming orgasms x

[gillywillywoo]

I think I'm much more likely to get a bfp over the winter months when it's crisp and cold and DH and I have nothing better to do than have sex!
It's been too hot over the last 2 months to put any effort into it!

Bring on autumn!

[OrangeMochaFrappucino]

Sorry to hear about AF gilly. I just wanted to pass on a book recommendation I saw elsewhere on this site - Expecting Better by Emily Oster. It debunks a lot of pregnancy myths by looking at the actual evidence behind the advice eg wrt caffeine/alcohol etc. I've just finished the Conception chapter and itgives interesting info re detecting ovulation, the effect if the pill on cycles, the number of fertilisations that don't actually result in pregnancy (up to 50% apparently!) and I thought people on this thread might be interested in it.

Good luck to all those testing and good luck to everyone boarding the September bus

[VJONES1985]

Thanks jelly. Oh god, what effect does the pill have??

[JellyBeanDavey]

Other jelly - I'm on it!!

I have been having this tugging feeling for the last 10mins just in the front about 2inches below my belly button.

Is this what others have had? Xx

[OrangeMochaFrappucino]

Sorry VJONES! It can just take a few months for cycles to return to normalafter coming off the pill apparently. It's a very reassuring book, nothing alarming in it!
