Ive read another thread with interest about ttc after the pill & saw that a couple of posters were about to stop their bc pills so thought a new thread might be in order!
Im getting married in August & currently finishing my last packet of Yasmin. Excited & nervous all at the same time!

So who's with me?

Xx

Sorry to hear about your AF arriving! Have a few drinks whilst you can! I feel a bit more tired than usual but trying to eat healthily and drink plenty to keep my energy up...fx I don't start feeling too sick as work will be suspicious and I have a long car commute but we'll see, it's totally out of my hands! Im a bit nervous about telling family and friends this weekend as would have waited a lot longer but me not drinking would give it away and I really want a few close people to know so I can get a bit giddy as DH is very cautious and it hasn't sunk in for him yet!

Hiya lovebugs..Grin glad to hear all is well with you.i would have a drink but I'm completely tea total and have been for 16 years lol.. Have also been on a diet for 4 months so can't even stuff myself with chocolate andCake !!!! Oh well can always treat myself to an extra celery stick I suppose Hmm. GL telling everyone my lovely I'm sure they will be as ecstatic as you are xx

Oi Lovebugs! Come and be giddy with us over on the taking the plunge pregnancy thread! Smile

Hugs to all you other ladies, getting AF is a good sign that your body is getting settled back into a natural pattern! Thanks xx

Justyouwaitandsee · 30/10/2014 19:29

Ps. Just keep updating Ovia and you will find each month, and with extra data available, it will adjust and become more accurate!

Any updates from you lovely ladies? Xx

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 07/11/2014 06:19

7dpo here so not much news!

Littlemissjt · 13/11/2014 23:08

No updates this end. First month using ovulation tests, got very excited yesterday when I got my first positive! Grin

WantToGoingTo · 14/11/2014 06:29

Forgot to update! I got my bfp on Monday at 10dpo, 5 days before af due! Af due tomorrow and no sign. Pg tests now stronger than control and have midwife appt booked forcdecember. All very surreal - only month 2 off pill! Good luck ladies, we have a thread waiting for you on the an board :)

WantToGoingTo · 14/11/2014 06:29

Sorry also I am wanttobeamunmy under a new name!

Moomin37 · 16/11/2014 09:47

Congrats WantTo! Well I'm still here, waiting for AF after coming off Yasmin - on CD 130 now Sad GP refuses to help at present. At least I've had a couple of instances of EWCM which is better than no CM at all. It's difficult to see all the 2ww threads and people stressing about it - what I wouldn't give to actually have a proper cycle and a 2ww!

Littlemissjt · 16/11/2014 09:59

Congrats want to.

That's so frustrating moonin. Did the docs say when they would help?

Moomin37 · 16/11/2014 10:33

I went in early October and she said come back in two or three months (can't remember which). I've never felt anything but fobbed off by my surgery, so not holding out any hope of help. However, from reading on here there is medication to kick start AF and ovulation, so perhaps chane surgeries and try again. It's so annoying - if I was I obese or a smoker they would help :(

Littlemissjt · 27/11/2014 07:23

Did you change surgeries or any sign of af yet?

Moomin37 · 27/11/2014 21:15

Hello no AF (Ovia has stopped counting, but I think this is about CD140) and need to book another appointment. Just bought some cheap ovulation sticks so feel like I'm taking charge. I might try acupuncture as there are lots of positive stories on here. Was also wondering about taking SIs to try to kick start things - I did take a very small dose for a few days but it didn't do anything. How are things going for you?

Justyouwaitandsee · 08/12/2014 20:14

Hey ladies! How are things going?! Any updates? xx

Littlemissjt · 08/12/2014 20:53

I got my bfp just over a week ago Smile due in aug x
