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!

firstgo1984 · 11/12/2015 08:57

Well I think my LH surge was a proper surge because I've got a fadeout happening now. Now CD64 and in 2ww I think!
Still had EWCM yesterday and BD again (so day before, day of and day after positive OPK). So given it our best shot this month I think!

cnchapmanxx · 11/12/2015 10:01

firstgo1984 · 11/12/2015 10:16

If anyone is interested this is my surge. (I did quite a few tests during the surge on 9th and 10th!) Nice fade in and out!

Waiting to try, and cycle a mess from the pill
cnchapmanxx · 11/12/2015 10:37

Morning ladies! How is everyone?
Couldn't wait til Wednesday so took a pg test this morning and it was bfn boo but serves me right for not waiting the full 2 weeks so Wednesday it will be! No sign of AF or PG symptoms so I hope one shows haha!

Vicky - amazing news congrats hopefully more good news to follow in the coming weeks/months!

Gx91 - good luck with your app let us know how you get on! Exciting times!

First - good news hopefully fx for you in your 2ww me and cookie are on that atm!

Cookie - Same here with testing I was impatient haha I'm like a child but I'm hoping good news will make my DH smile haha!

Sunny & Poin - think we're all in the same boat tbh you took the words out of my mouth with what you said about your oh mine is the same I'm hoping a nice shock will give him a smile!! Xxx

Gx91 · 11/12/2015 12:51

Hey all !
First looks like u ovulated for sure! I love looking at all the sticks I did the same so I could see what was happening Smile all the best for ur TWW Smile
Chapman - shame about the bfn but as u said probs just too early , I got a faint line at 12 -13 dpo if u cave again lol can't wait to see how u get on !
Same with I cookie I'm kinda hoping u guys cave again before next week , it's a long wait for us too eagerly waiting to see how u get on ! Lol X
Well booking app went really well apart from my blood spraying over me and the midwife during the blood tests lol and got my scan date for the 6 th of January woohoo can't wait lol X looking forward to getting the picture up on here , will finally feel real ! X

Poin86 · 11/12/2015 13:45

Cookie according to Ovia my next one is due about the 27th December i'm on cycle day 16 (first day of last period was the 26th Nov) but was only 2 days of light bleeding and 3 days of brown spotting. Had a bit of cramping earlier and feel knackered again but reckon that because OH was up and down all night as he couldn't sleep so he woke me up - he's on holiday but i'm at work so he got a lay in!!

Chapman I think i OV about the 11th Nov and think i'm fast approaching it again now. My Ovia map is going crazy with all the various symptoms since then but as i had a period I'm obviously not preggers but one of those unlucky souls who feels crap on approach to OV

Welcome First hoping your cycles settle soon Smile

Congrats Vicky!! How exciting! Grin
xx

cnchapmanxx · 11/12/2015 14:58

Gx91 - I couldn't help myself I knew I had a pg test in the cupboard so I used it haha. Will teach me to wait! Oh did you well I think I'll wait til 14dpo I don't have a good feeling anyway! Good news about your scan is that your 12 or 20 week one?

Poin - I use that app too I thought it was rubbish when I first got it as I didn't know when I would be ov as I haven't had AF since coming off pill. But it was only a couple of days out! Did you say your close to ov this month?
Xx

Vicky2307 · 11/12/2015 16:46

Thanks everyone :-)
Will keep positive it was implantation bleed...I was just thinking it was the start of AF - no symptoms of AF or BFP so just carry on as I am. :-)
I'm not sure when I ovulated Sunny. Have been using OPK sticks for about a week now & have all been neg so far.

I was the same as you Chapman, I think 6days after last AF I took a test & then every other day after that for a while...just hoping!! Still keeping fx for you!

When we started TTC my partner said exactly the same about a drinking buddie Cookie...although he then thought about it and realised I would then always be taxi & he was pleased with that idea!!

Good luck to everyone else :-)

Poin86 · 11/12/2015 17:21

I have a little EWCM at the moment so I'm about there within the next few days Smile. Ovia says im fertile now but take that with a pinch of salt!xx

Sunnydays321 · 11/12/2015 20:39

Ooh lovely wee sticks first definitely looks like you've OVd and dtd on the right days, good luck for your tww! It will go quickly!

poin EWCM sounds good! Get to it.

gx glad the appt went well, not long til scan!

I feel massively hormonal the last 2 days. I'm normally really chilled out and don't ever really get grumpy or cross.. but Iv been a bit grumpy last 2 day... Not so much grumpy as very easily irritated! My DH is teasing me, it is really funny but it's also winding me up too! I'm knackered, on a ten day stretch at work, and only have 3 days off between last weekend and BOXING day!! He keeps saying, don't worry it's nearly the weekend, and don't worry it's nearly Xmas!! Even though he knows I'm working the weekend AND Xmas day!! Grrrr! Also got some hip/pelvic pain but no EWCM and negative OPKs so don't think it's linked to OV... Just a grumpy git!! Lol. Chocolate and mulled wine is taking the edge off! Xx

firstgo1984 · 11/12/2015 20:54

Sunnydays I hope I did!! I don't temp so we'll see! My 2ww is busy. Busy week at work and busy every evening. Then 5 night shifts 21st-25th. I'll do a test if no period by then!

Cookie22 · 11/12/2015 22:58

Ooh it's busy in here tonight! Hope you're ok sunny, it sounds like you've got a busy stretch in front of you. Have you got any wee breaks booked or anything to look forward to? I find that can help keep my positivity up during hard times at work! I don't finish up until the 23rd this year. The kids in my class have been tuned to the moon this week- far too excited about Xmas!!

Gx so glad your appointment went well! You've got the lovely scan to look forward to first week in Jan now! That must be so nice as sometimes the week after new year can be a bit depressing once all the festivities are over! It'll fly in & be here before you know it Smile
Hope all you girlies are having a nice fri night. I treated myself to a wee wine tonight- it's just been one of those weeks!! No symptoms report, tho did have some school glue CM today! Not holding out much hope for BFP at the moment as haven't even had the slightest of twinge as yet! Xx

sophied1983 · 12/12/2015 08:33

Does anyone else get nausea around 14 days into cycle? Mine has been so extreme some days I have rushed to the loo as thought I was going to be sick. It's horrible and has happened every month since I stopped taking the mini-Pill.

Poin86 · 12/12/2015 13:11

Sophie I do. Felt rough around OV day both months since stopping the pill. Quite a common thing apparently!xx

Poin86 · 12/12/2015 13:14

Well.. we DTD last night but he got a condom out so not pressing the issue right now. Hoping he will just go for it soon! He's obviously not quite ready and I'm not going to force the issue incase he freaks and it pushes him away Hmm Would love for an accident but I guess we are back to being careful which is fine. Little disappointed but.. what can I do.xx

NewGirl2015 · 12/12/2015 13:18

Wow missed a lot in a couple of days!
Sophie I've never had nausea around Ov no, but track it it could be a good symptom for you!
I was VERY nauseas yesterday but that was because I had a Xmas do on Thursday Shock
Waiting to do an OPK a bit later today but expecting it to be negative, although starting to get very faint Ov pain in both sides, so next week should be the time for me.
First, sounds positive for your TWW hope it goes quickly!
Vicky - huge congratulations on your engagement! Thanks
Chapman & Cookie how are you both doing? Your stories about your OH's losing their drinking buddies made me laugh!!
Sunny sorry to hear you're working so much over Xmas! Hope it makes I go fast though
Xx

NewGirl2015 · 12/12/2015 13:30

Sorry to hear that poin Sad I think you've taken it very well and right not to say anything when he got the condom out. You don't want to feel like you're only ever DTD to TTC, give it time like you say. I honestly believe it takes one person to start thinking about it to make the other person realise it's what they want too. It'd be unusual if you both suddenly both thought 'now's the time' at exactly the same time, stay positive.

Poin86 · 12/12/2015 14:36

Thanks NewGirl xx - would have spoiled the mood somewhat Grin
I don't want to force the issue with him as I say because I worry about it jeopardizing us. He's of to Canada for 10 days in May to see his best mate get married so maybe once he's got that out the way we can have another chat if nothing changes before then.
Not really the right thread for me any more now though Sad although will still be checking for OV etc so i know when we have to be more careful.xx

Yvonne1986 · 12/12/2015 22:30

Hi everyone

Not been on for a while as trying to relax and not think about TTC 24hours a day but it's so hard!!!

Nice looking over everyone's comments and realising it's not just me x

WaitrosePigeon · 13/12/2015 10:13

Oh, I just started a new thread basically wondering if anyone else was WTT - I am a twat.

I need to get healthy before we TTC. I need to loose some weight, stop smoking and get my body in tip top healthy condition.

We won't TTC till mid-late next year.

shankate182 · 13/12/2015 10:33

Hey all I was on the mini pill and came off it last Thursday and I haven't stopped bleeding since anyone know when it will stop ?
