Waiting to try, and cycle a mess from the pill

[AlexandraOrlov]

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!

yvonne there is always some LH present so I would try not to read much into it

Ok thanks Firstgo x

Cookie sunny first- hope we can ov and catch this month we are defo due some bfps!
Took another opk again about 6 and that was the same as my earlier one so I defo know I'm going to ovulate mid week. Hopefully they get darker haha! Strangely though no ewcm I'm quite dry down there!
Guessing there's going to be a few of us on the 2ww!! XXXX

cnchapman looking back my opks have been like that for weeks though. so not really any indication ovulation is on the way for me!

Wow I have missed loads! I didn't even realise there had been new posts. Is it not supposed to email you when there are new posts in a thread?

Good luck to everyone doing OPKs! Hope you all get your positives soon

I'm currently on 6dpo (approximately - didn't get a full on positive opk but they got darker and then faded so making a guess it was in the middle and hoping I caught it). I had a pain in my back sort of behind right ovary. no idea if this is related or not and been a moody cow today (poor dh!) Hoping these are positive signs or af signs! Currently on cd60 of cycle 1 so af's arrival is not a bad thing!

Waiting is driving me a little insane!!

fx for everyone is TWW!!

anyone here tried soy isoflavones?

I tried soy last month first. Only the lower dose 120mg per day for 5 days. Think I did it cycle day 3-7 (like you would with clomid) evidently I didn't get pregnant but you can take up to 200mg I think, so if low dose doesn't work you can up it next month. There were no side effects. OVd on day 26 last month which was earlier than previous months but hard to know if that was soy or that would have happened anyways. There is some good info on line.

Yvonne if it was the control line that was faint and there was no test line at all it sounds like there wasn't much dye in the test. Your LH level shouldn't affect the control line. X

Ok thanks Sunny that would make sense about not much dye will test again tomorrow and see what happens x

Good luck Bobo- you're symptoms sound positive! If the statistics are anything to go by then I'm really hoping at least 1 in 5 of us on here should get pregnant this month. Though seeing as some of us have been trying for at least 3 months I'm keeping everything crossed that we'll see some more Bfps than that figure got my CB ov sticks ready for the morning & hoping to see at least a flashing face! Xx

sunny cd23 would be amazing

Hey girls iv missed loads to wasn't getting email either? Best of luck on the opks girls hope ye Catch ov this month one of us need BFP and sprinkle the baby dust around :)
CD23 and my boobs are so sore can Bearly touch them :( have got real bad acne on my forehead and chin :( have HBP also :( so have to visit doctor Friday to check that ? Have been really tired lately also and getting weird stitch like cramps and period pains also :( if no sign AF Thursday will test mid Feb :) hopefully BFP soon

Sometimes I get no emails sometimes I get loads haha!
Good luck shankate and bobo!! Those are positive signs for pregnancy fx it's a bfp! Have you not thought about testing shankate? And bobo fx for you!

Just done the baby dance dtd with the DH he must think it's his lucky day twice in 2 days never heard off - once we got married it seemed to dwindle haha!
Xxx

I'm going to test mid February if AF doesn't arrive as I done want to be disappointed with a BFN :( I hope so anyways cus they be sore for a while den normal now there really sore for some reason Haa my boyfriend the same twice last night and then this morning

Well if your due Thursday I wouldn't wait til February haha! Try maybe the day after your due or on the day??

Ah no incase I didn't ov I wasn't checking just going by my last af Thursday will be cd28 :) ya think so? I dno cus it might not show up this early

Shankate if your expected AF is due Thursday then POAS on Thurs and Fri, even just with an IC! I did CB ov stick this morning and no smiley, not even a flashing one, boo! It's so strange because when I take it out the holder afterwards the lines are quite dark. Maybe it's only going to pick up my peak surge, like last month xx

Hmm cookie that's odd, although maybe it's helpful to only know peak so you aren't wondering for days if it's high or not. I would get did anyway.

So ladies I'm really confused. I'm not sure what's going on. I had a positive opk on Saturday AND a big temp rise... Temp sayed up since BUT opk really really dark on Sunday and still really positive today (in picture top opk was Saturday, temp rise day and what FF says is OV day, two middle ones are Sunday and bottom one is this morning!!) which would suggest on opk that my peak was yesterday or today. You are supposed ovulate 12-36 hours after LAST positive opk, So why has my temp been high since before my 1st positive opk?? My temps sat Sunday were possibly unrelieble as I had been drinking the night before and temps taken a little late, but don't want to disregard them completely as they were such a big rise.. Almost a whole degree. This has happened previous months too. What's going on with my hormones?

Cookie
I didn't know that so If not arrived by Monday il test :)

Ps getting bad cramps this morning going right down into me :( hopefully af stays away

Has anyone experienced mid cycle bleeding?? I've been to the toilet and it was very light and then I went again it was still light but a bit more. So confused.

Chapman I had light bleeding for 4 weeks without a break before first AF? Cud be implantation bleeding either FX for BFP :)

Shankate - don't think it's implantation bleeding as I'm due to ovulate this week/now.
I've read up on it and if its ovulating bleeding I should only have it for 12 hours / 1-2 days I don't know though xxxx

Iv never heard of ovulating bleeding before but if it is hope you catch it the month :) FX Chapman

Chapman - I had ovulation bleeding for the first time ever this cycle. It was more of a brown mucus than red blood. Lasted 2 days and then went and there was no pain with it at all. If yours is similar then it could be ovulation bleeding too! DTD anyway just in case

Shankate - I've been getting the odd cramp too so fx af stays away for both of us!

Bobo I hope it stays away my boobs are awful sore aswel :(
