Waiting to try, and cycle a mess from the pill

Just wondering if there are any other lurkers in the same boat as me, planning to TTC in December/January?

I came off the pill three months ago and have only had one pathetic AF in that time, so very glad I came off early but also pretty anxious at how messed up things are, 1st cycle was 39 days, this one is 40 and courting.

So who's with me? I can't be the only person on here who is actually hoping for AF!

Hi all!
Been following this thread so thought I'd share a positive story.. I got a BFP yesterday! And this morning
Came off the pill mid-Feb after 13 years. First cycle was only 25 days long but definitely felt the ovulation. Second cycle - period never came! Tested positive on cd27. The main side effects was sore boobs but at least they grew a size..
I realise how lucky I am that it all returned to normal so soon but I hope this will make others less worried about it.

Just seen that chapman and have logged my place. Not asked the same question there though... should I copy it over?xx

cnchapmanxx · 01/02/2016 14:14

poin we have a new thread its the craziness of the pill one x

Poin86 · 01/02/2016 13:24

My IC OPKs arrived today - had to sneakily open the package to check them so no one in the office spotted them!

I'm on CD13 so potentially OV any day now so will try and test later. Will have to do it at home - it says to let the urine sit at room temp - does anyone bother with this? Cannot test at work if that is the case as it's a busy toilet with only 2 cubicles and can't lock myself in there for that long without questions!xx

cnchapmanxx · 29/01/2016 15:44

Hi girls hope everyone is ok!
Sorry Ivd not posted much trying to do anything I can to not think about being pregnant - pregnancy tests ovulation kits etc haha think I'm getting to obsessed so I'm just gonna take a step back. Still gonna check the thread!! Just need to chill out and try not to think about it! Xxxx

shankate182 · 29/01/2016 09:48

Newgirl
I'm mad to test but it would kill me to get BFN which is why il wait 😅 cus if I'm not af should arrive and if not there's something stopping it from coming and then il test,
Heading to the doctors to check BP as was high last week and I am all nervous and I don't know why? A bag of nerves this morning

NewGirl2015 · 29/01/2016 09:29

You're welcome to stick with us choc! It's nice to hear positive stories from our BFP-ers!

So my bleeding has now stopped but that's not uncommon for me for it to stop overnight, so still not altogether hopeful. Especially as I did an FRER this morning and a IC and both negative. Going to be so upset if this is AF !

Chocaholic88 · 29/01/2016 09:09

Do I go over and place mark in the new thread even though I'm now pregnant? I'm not sure lol

Sunnydays321 · 29/01/2016 07:18

Here is the new thread. We can wait till this one is full but hop over to mark your place.

Great idea about the new thread sunny!! Xx

Sunnydays321 · 29/01/2016 06:57

Oh bugger, fertility friend has changed my OV day so I'm now apparently 3dpo not 7dpo (it's going to feel like a really long tww now!!) and it means we stopped dtd a bit early! Grr. Dtd the day before OV now but not on the day or since. Grrrr. Ok rant over, I know ff is just a guess, lesson learnt, don't trust it just dtd! There were still some swimmers up there in position awaiting OV, hopefully that's enough.

Shall I do a new thread then and il post the title here so we can all hop on when this one is full. X

Planeteer · 28/01/2016 22:51

Thanks! Pot and strips going in the handbag for tomorrow, hehe. Definitely in for another thread sunny x

Yvonne1986 · 28/01/2016 22:43

We definitely should start a new post I would go crazy (even more so) without you all to talk all things TTC to!

Planteer I take the pot and strips to work if I'm on a long day and just quickly pop to the loo to test I try and test about four each day and don't drink from one ish xx

NewGirl2015 · 28/01/2016 22:42

Deffo in sunny X

firstgo1984 · 28/01/2016 22:39

In please. Need all your support and calming words!

firstgo1984 · 28/01/2016 22:37

planeteer I usually do one when I get in from work in the evening at 7ish. Then more if I think I am close and off work.

Sunnydays321 · 28/01/2016 22:34

The ewcm sounds good first.

Planteer between 12-8 apparently is best, you could just pop the test and little pot in your bag. Or hold a wee for a few hours and test when you get in.

So ladies... I think you only get 1000 posts on each thread... Which means if we want to keep this goin we need a new thread. Any title ideas?? I think we are all trying now rather than waiting to try... So something about crazy post pill cycles? Anyone else in? Xx

Planeteer · 28/01/2016 22:24

OK ladies, advice please. I am flinging myself into the OPK game (mahoosive pack of ic tests just arrived), and suspect it is about to unleash a whole load of mad on my brain (and possibly my DH). I work pretty long hours usually and having read the guidelines am now imagining supremely awkward work-toilet-wee-pot situations... Thoughts on best time of day to test?

Yvonne1986 · 28/01/2016 22:23

Fx you will finally get your surge in the morning you have definitely waited long enough!!

Do you take you Agnus Cactus in the morning? I normally take it before bed but just read it's better to take in the morning as this is when the pituitary gland is more active!? I'm going to switch to AM x

firstgo1984 · 28/01/2016 22:18

Lots of ewcm this evening! This surge had better be on its way! Had it for 2 days before last time....

Yvonne1986 · 28/01/2016 22:14

I think it's 14dpo BoBo? My first cycle after stopping Yasmin was 64days x

BoBo90 · 28/01/2016 22:13

And that's crap af showed up for you newgirl hopefully it's just a bit of red spotting and it will be gone by the morning xx

New girl- I'm not sure when to test I'm on cycle 1 after coming off Yasmin and on cd 64 with absolutely no idea when af is due! Should I wait until about 14dpo? X

Also does anyone know if af should make an appearance within a certain time frame after ovulation?

firstgo1984 · 28/01/2016 22:04

sunny can only keep eod up for short periods of time. Looking back at ovia looks like we are usually managing 2-3x per week. As you say, very difficult with these ridiculous cycles!

Yvonne1986 · 28/01/2016 22:02

Oh no sorry to hear that NewGirl xx
