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 think I got a bit carried away with myself earlier when I seen that faint, faint FAINT line come up... The more I think about it, the more I think I'm letting my imagination run away with itself. Thanks for all your advice ladies

Chapman, sorry to hear about your bfn hun. Hopefully it is just too early & defnintely keep your other test and retest in a few days.

Planeteer, how are you doing? When is your first 'booking in' midwife appointment? So excited for you!

Poin, hope you're well! Where are you at in your cycle? Yvonne, how are you doing?? Shankate. Hope you're managing to jump on DH lol. Is that you entering your fertile window now?

Ooh bee - test twinnies! How many dpo will you be on Sunday? I'll only be 11dpo but don't think I can hold out much longer xx

Good luck testing on Sun Cookie I definitely think today it a bit early to test! FX for you too Thisisbloodyrediculous

Nothing exciting to report from me I'm now 8/9 dpo depending on when you count from I'm definitely very hormonal and have a face full of spots which could be either AF or BFP keeping everything crossed its a BFP I'll wait to see if AF arrives Thurs then test Fri if not!

Have a lovely weekend everyone xxx

Cookie
My fertile window is going since Monday and I had dhd Monday and last night and gona try tomorrow and Sunday aswel cus I should ov Sunday :)

Also ladies
My AF is due the 27th February if it doesn't arrive when's the best time to test??

Also am getting loads of spots on my chin :(

Fx for you on Sunday cookie and bee. A valentines bfp would be pretty special!!

I'm ok thanks cookie, just really impatient haha. Managed to see gp yday, but because my cycles are so mad they struggled to work out how far along I am. They reckon anywhere between 2 and 6 weeks... I reckon I'm probably somewhere around 4. Anyway, have to have blood test on tues to look at HCG levels and that will hopefully help, and after that they'll refer me to a midwife. Definitely won't have a booking in appointment until mid March, as they don't want to refer me too early (annoying!) so am just trying to be patient.

Desperate to tell my parents but want to wait and find out a bit more about where things are first. Hoping I can hold out until the 6th and then tell them on Mother's Day

What are everyone's weekend plans? Xx

Morning girls!
how is everyone?
no sign of AF and im not going to do a test now til monday as technically that would be 14dpo! Off to watch sunderland play today then having a lovely 3 course meal with the DH. what is everyone else getting up to?

cookie yeah i defo agree with you on that one hopefully we can get our bfps together are u still going to test sunday! fx for you cant wait!! xx
yvonne spots can be a good thing i dont know whether u get them when ur due on AF but i do terrible all on my chin so i know when im due haha if you dont might be a sign! when are u testing next week??
planeteer dont know how u havent told them yet i would be bursting at the seems!! mothers day seems so far away!! :( xx

cn sensible to wait until 14dpo now.
I'm 6dpo. It's going slowly!
Fx for us all!

first defo im losing the will here though i genuienly think having that mini bleed during january has well and truely messed my cycle up!
6dpo oh wow it goes so slow doesnt it!! when are you testing?

I'm so torn about when to test I've always said I would be wait until Friday as AF is due on Thurs which would be 14 dpo! But I don't think I can wait that long plus I dread AF arriving when I'm in work on Wed or Thurs as I know I'm going to be so emotional if it does!! I'm sure it will be AF as I have no signs apart from spots and feeling more emotional which I always get before AF xx

cookie I think I'll be 14 dpo on Sunday but not temping or using OPKs so that is a guess!

Baby dust to everyone this weekend! We were supposed to DTD last night but I fell asleep on the sofa at 9pm...

yvonne Bless you its so torturous hoping you can hold out but i dont have any willpower! fx u dont come on hun! im so emotional when i come on i just cry! im emotional anyway i cried the other night for no reason! x

bee fx for you lovely think you and cookie will be testing at the sme time! my oh was falling asleep last night but i made sure we dtd xx

Aw Planeteer, it'll be mid March before you know it! Hope you have a relaxing and non sicky start to your preg hun! Chapman, that sounds like a good plan waiting to Monday. Enjoy your birthday weekend lovely. Is it today or tomorrow your birthday? Yvonne I totally know where where you're coming from! I would rather see a BFN and prepare myself for AF showing than for AF to show up when I'm still hopeful! Hope your wait goes in quickly first

Bee, I think I'm going to bail out on the plan to test tomorrow at 11dpo. I've done lots of googling and I think there can be a major difference in bfp showing at 11dpo & 12 dpo on. Frer, so I think I might wait until Monday. (If I have enough willpower!!). I should really be more sensible like all you lovelies and wait until 14dpo or beyond! Xx

I'm OK thanks! AF due on the 17th. Had a right strop on last night and this morning! Thinking my symptoms are therefore more likely to be PMT. Still got sore boobs on and off, cramping, feeling a bit unwell and tired but I really don't think it's anything other than PMT! CM has reduced a bit, not a lot going on but still a mix of a bit creamy and stretchy similar to last month xx

Poin, those symptoms sound good (in a bfp sort of good way! Lol!). Has you DH came round to the idea yet of trying? When are you going to test? Increased CM has been my only symptom! Creamy/stretchy just like you described xx

No he hasn't and because I've been stroppy I can only think of him as a knob today so don't even want to discuss it again . If I don't come on by the 18th I'll test but I'm 100% sure I'll come on as normal!xx

Hi Ladies

Hope you don't mind me joining you here! I'm 31, TTC for the 1st time and came of the pill June 2014 sending my body into hormonal malfunction! Frustrated to say the least.

Welcome LiveLaughLove your in the right place for post pill frustration!! How have your cycles been since stopping have you taken any supplements to help? Xx

Welcome LiveLaughLove!xx

Hello.
Fx for a good February.

As for me maybe faint line on opk today, after definitely no line in opk yesterday, meaning certainly I'll get a strong line tomorrow. Because it's Valentine's and I said so.

Haha I like that Sunflower - PMA!!xx

Welcome LiveLaughLove!

I'm still going to test tomorrow but pretty sure it'll be BFN as I now have zero symptoms

Feeling very today... my friend who was pregnant has had her LO and he is just delicious! The gender was a surprise so was lovely news finding out but I am so emotional today just really baby on the brain & jealous of her smushy little baby!!! I want one of course would only ever say that on here and not IRL.

I'm terrible at tracking CM I need to focus more! Will help with tracking ovulation / symptoms but I always forget to check! You guys are so on the ball!

Hey everyone
So it was ovulating supposinly yday and dhd monday Thursday night/Friday morning, last night and now today also .
Happy Valentine's to all of ye lovely ladies also xxx

Happy Valentine's girls. Who's testing today?
