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!

Hey girls getting cramps all this morning more like pressure cramps mixing with period cramps iv sore boobs and stitch like pain in my side :( any ideas ??

Yvonne1986 · 21/01/2016 12:03

I had lots of symptoms like this when I first stopped taking the pill Shankate, when ru due AF? FX for a BFP xx

shankate182 · 21/01/2016 12:14

I should be due af next Thursday according to my app as it's 28 days since my last one Thursday? I stopped taken the pill the 4th of December so it's not that?

firstgo1984 · 21/01/2016 17:59

Looks like you can get miss the surge of LH by using fmu. We shall see what my evening sample shows once I get home. I am not getting hopes up as this has happened before and been excited and it was a false alarm!

shankate182 · 21/01/2016 18:16

I don't get what you mean? I don't really understand ?

firstgo1984 · 21/01/2016 18:25

skankate that was a reply to an earlier comment from Yvonne.

shankate182 · 21/01/2016 18:41

Oh sorry 😅😅

Sunnydays321 · 21/01/2016 18:47

First that's good news about your opk! Test again tonight's 1st Morningn is less likely to give you positive as you produce more LH in afternoon.

Iv had more ewcm today but opk still neg. Although I think it is getting a little darker. Just realised I'm away all weekend with out dh at a hen party.. So hoping I either OV tomorrow or not til Monday. Will Dtd tonight hopefully just in case. I can't take my thermometer as sharing rooms but might try and sneak a wee pot and my opks with me and test in secret as if I do OV at least il want to know so I don't obsess over it all month, and will know when to expect AF.

Cookie22 · 21/01/2016 20:15

Hi ladies, hope we're all good! Ooh that's great about the ewcm Sunny! Fx you ov tomorrow or after the weekend so that you don't miss it! Hope you can enjoy the hen weekend without stressing too much about it, tho I think our bodies are purposefully teasing us at times by ov'ing at the worst possible time!!

First, Yvonne- any sign of ov yet for you two? Have you taken another OPK yet first? My OPKs are usually darkest about midday/early afternoon. Though it can be hard to test at this time when at work!

Loula, how are you doing? Is AF due at the weekend? Hope it stays away and you get your bfp!

Any symptoms yet new girl? How are your temps looking? The tww is agonising! Hope it goes in quickly for you!

Chapman, you'll be at a similar boring stage to me (tho slightly further ahead) CD 8 for me and I'm fed up! Really hoping my b6 & Agnus supplements bring forward my ov & extend my luteal! Ovulation anywhere below CD 20 this cycle would be amazing! Xx

Cookie22 · 21/01/2016 20:18

Shankate, are you in the tww? Bfp symptoms can be easily confused with AF type signs, too. I was symptom spotting like mad last cycle and it just turned out to be early AF. Fx it's good news for you tho! How many dpo are you roughly? Xx

firstgo1984 · 21/01/2016 21:53

Opk lighter again this evening. Sigh

cnchapmanxx · 21/01/2016 22:04

Evening girls.
I'm cd9 today temped past 2 mornings and used my opks both negative so will keep trying 😁 How is everyone else? Xxx

Sunnydays321 · 21/01/2016 22:07

Oh first, that's annoying (although mine always seem to be lighter in evening that with afternoon wee). Mine is lighter again now too. Iv dug the old ones from the last few days out (I keep them cos I'm weird!!) and one of them is almost positive, but I'm not sure what day it was from. Doesn't look like Iv OVd tho from temps so il just keep trying. X

firstgo1984 · 21/01/2016 22:25

sunny my afternoon and evening ones always seem to be lighter. When I got a positive last month it was obvious immediately

firstgo1984 · 21/01/2016 22:32

I presume that's because my morning urine is so concentrated! Onwards!

Sunnydays321 · 21/01/2016 22:33

Was your positive last month in the morning?

Yeah mine have been very definite positives when they have happened last couple of months. Which I know means I shouldn't waste time examining and debating over them, as is so obvious when it happens! But I still do! Haha x

firstgo1984 · 21/01/2016 22:45

My positives last month went on for 2 dats so they were positive at all times of day

Loulabelle1990 · 21/01/2016 23:07

Hey everyone, hope your all ok Smile

I done a couple more CB ovulation tests and still negative! Still no sign of AF either as of it. Will be testing this weekend if still nothing tomorrow. Will keep you all posted!

Does anyone know what your cm is supposed to be like in very early pregnancy by any chance?

shankate182 · 22/01/2016 01:13

Cookie22
got my last af the 31st december ended the 6th and due one thursday? I was spotting ages but got my af afterwards no spotting this month atal just waiting on af

Yvonne1986 · 22/01/2016 08:53

Lou and Shankate that's so exciting FX for a BFP for you soon!

It's so frustrating isn't it Firstgo it doesn't look like Agnus cactus has had any effect! I'm on CD15 no sign of OV x

firstgo1984 · 22/01/2016 11:03

I didn't use fmu this am. Not tested yet today. No ewcm though so suspect it will be negative again!

firstgo1984 · 22/01/2016 13:54

Negative just now.... onto the next day!

NewGirl2015 · 22/01/2016 22:40

Cookie yes I'm in the dreaded TWW, I am either 3 or 5 DPO depending on when I ov'd and whether or not my low temp was a false reading or not. But temps looking good so far, 3 days of highs now so I know I HAVE ov'd, just not sure exactly when! I'm still getting some faint Ov twinges but think I'm just being hyper aware of it Confused. I may do an early indicator test on Wednesday if my temps are still high, but this is probably too early.
How are you, the boring wait for Ov is almost as bad as the TWW!

Chapman, Sunny, loula, first, any Ov symptoms for you as yet?

Shankate I've got a good feeling about this month, hope you get that BFP!!

Loulabelle1990 · 23/01/2016 09:53

Took a test this morning and was BFN. I really don't know what to do - guess it's just a waiting game for AF to show up! Got an appointment with my doctor for 9th Feb. Not sure whether it's worth taking the Agnus cactus stuff? If I did, what do you guys use?

firstgo1984 · 23/01/2016 12:37

lou I use a vogel drops but I must admit I do forget them sometimes and I have forgotten to take them away with me this weekend so I will miss a couple of doses. Don't know if they will do anything, I suspect I just need to be patient. Cd30 today and negative opk today. So my cycle will be in the high 40s at least! I suspect longer. I'm incredibly frustrated by it now.
