The craziness that is TTC after stopping the pill. On this thread we have 100 day cycles, do weeks of opks and send ovia into a fit with our ever changing fertile windows! Welcome.

Hi ladies,

This is the 2nd thread following on from

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/2452018-Waiting-to-try-and-cycle-a-mess-from-the-pill

For everyone who is entering the madness that is Ttc after stopping the pill. Maybe to start the thread we could all post our stats, so we remember where everyone is at and don't have to check the old thread. X

I'll get an FRER for the morning. Would be exceedingly bizarre if it was positive (although amazing, obv) but something weird is going on...

Thanks guys, really think I would be going loopy without this forum!

I've just had some ewcm just for good measure and confusion!
can't did as i will have left for my night shift before husband gets home...

Hi ladies 😊 Hope everyone is well!
I haven't been postin for a while as keeping it a bit more relaxed this tww!
First - you sound like you are having a similar cycle to me so thought I'd share invade it helps. I thought I had ovulated as had ovary pain and positive opks. I was almost at the end of my tww when I had some more ovary pain (which I put down to something else at the time) and then Ewcm in following days! Thought I cant be ovulating as I was in tww but opks said otherwise! I obviously had and oh surge the first time but no egg was released!! This might be the same for you so my advice would be to keep doing opks like normal and dtd when you can just in case 😊

I'm 7dpo now and been have cramps, aches, twinges, everything is going on down there so waiting for af to show up but at least that means I ovulated properly 😊

Have you thought of trying chasteberry? You can get it from health shops. It helps fix your hormone levels, particularly after the pill. Have a few friends that swear it helped them get pregnant . My friend at work ttc was on the injection and had her first period 1 month after taking it. Gps sometimes suggest it. Good luck xx

bobo sounds familiar!
I don't actually see a surge the first time. I just assumed my sensitive nipples were due to being in luteal phase after ovulating.
I have not seen a positive one today either, but i would have missed it now if thats what the cramps were last night!

I only have 3 opks left. I shall have to use them wisely as I am thinking of weaning myself off them.

Though they are helpful during a run of night shifts etc to know if i should make a very special effort.

ilovechoc i started agnus castus (which is another name for it) at about cd18 this cycle. may get some more to start at the beginning of my next cycle as I ran out of the tiny bottle that i got from my local health shop during this cycle.

i briefly looked into soy isoflavones too as an alternative.

How's things going girls? Bobo, Yvonne, Chapman, how is your tww going? Surely at least 1 of us will get lucky & get a bfp! Feels a bit like a roulette wheel, who will it be?? Planet, have you managed to test again this morning? First, I'm sorry to hear your cycles is at that confusing stage! Ewcm can happen after ov (I learned that this cycle!). What cd are you on? Keep trying to dtd every other day hun! Hopefully your gp consultation will be helpful!

I'm 6dpo today and still zero symptoms. Feeling really nervous now as it was at this point last month where I started getting crampy and AF arrive only a short time later. Really hoping my luteal phase has been extended and the b6 has worked its magic! Xx

Wow, sorry for all the accidental typos and bad grammar! Must proof check before hitting post! Xx

Cookie I'm right behind you 5dpo no signs or symptoms to report apart from a little CM trying to think positive this will be our cycle!! When ru going to test? Xx

cookie i think i am possibly 2dpo.
I sneakily scanned my ovaries last night at work and think i saw a corpus luteum on the left which is the side my cramping was on.

Cd47 today

First that's such a perk of the job being able to scan yourself!! What do you do? X

Hi ladies, hope you're all ok. I tested this morning and am in shock!

Line appeared immediately and have just done a CB digital and got 3+ weeks!!! Can't quite believe it!

Over the moon while still confused given -ve opks and bfns inc last Monday haha. Sending loads of luck to you all. Who's next to test?

Omg planeteer that's amazing news congratulations!!! I wonder when you fell pregnant then if you've been having all these signs cause you were getting mad opks!! Xxx

I know chapman, it's bonkers! Got a bfn a week ago so was totally gobsmacked to see 3+ weeks today!! V odd feeling to not know how far along I am, and symptoms so far still pretty minimal so it doesn't feel real!

Bless you babe so happy for you! Congrats! planeteer hoping we get some more bfps soon!!

Congrats! planeteer glad we encouraged you to test!

yvonne O&G doc. I think me being on here shows we can be as confused as anyone else!

Omg congrats Planeteer! Amazing news! So happy for you huni! Really strong lines too... Could be twins lol! Hope you're our good luck charm and send some Bfps our way xx

Yvonne no symptoms for me either tho have had quite a lot of cm too!! Tmi alert but it's been a mixture of ewcm/creamy and stretchy! Very strange!! Hoping it could be a good sign as I've had nothing else to report on. Was hoping to test with a FRER on Sunday for Valentines as I would be 11dpo (still very early but would be a miracle if I got that far without AF showing!!) will see! When are you testing Mrs? Xx

I really want to test haha! But I have no idea if I Actuallt did ovulate or its my body playing tricks on me! I have had no IMplantetion bleeding at all, does everyone get it?
Ovia says I should test in 3 days so I'm going to try and hold out til the 12th! Hoping planeteers good news Brings luck to us all xxx

Thanks lovelies. Really hoping for happy news for you guys soon!! Chapman definitely not everyone gets implantation bleeding. When do you reckon AF is due?

Also cookie twins???!! Gulp!! Do dark lines potentially mean that?!

First with your job you must be thinking of all things TTC 24hours a day at least I get some escape when I'm in work and too busy to think!! Ru still going to test on thurs before your doctors phone app?

Cookie I'm going to try and wait until 1 day after AF is due which will be a week Fri although I'm not sure I will be able to wait! My CM sounds similar Fx this is a good sign for us both! I have read implantation bleeding is quite rare so don't worry x

planeteer i have no idea. firstly my original AF i had was on the 13th Jan which would mean im due today!! however i had another bleed on the 25th Jan because i took that one pill which if i then counted my normal 28 day cycle i would be due on the 21st Jan. However i have no ewcm at all down there its really dry and i do know when i did have that positive opk i did have a lot of ewcm! im so confused i dont even know what DPO im on or if i even OV'd on the 31st Jan xx

yvonne not goong to test again on Thurs no

Congratulations Planteer!!! Great news that's why you were getting those random tests!!

FX for you Yvonne and Cookie - hope you find out what's going on soon Chapman!

Nothing to report here. Feel a bit rubbish, creamy cm, sore boobs and a bit crampy. Seemingly normal 8 days off period (due 17th)

Enjoying pancake day? Not feeling it this year, they taste rank tonight to me and I've messed all mine up , though I can smell salmon - proper odd! Had this a few months back and my chicken smelt of eggs! I have that type of nose lol.xx
