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

first sam such a relief couldnt be bothered going through all of that malarkey when TTC. it was only about 2cm the consultant said if it starts to get any bigger or it starts to bother me il go back to get it re assessed.

ohh bit to early to test, ive got a FRER in my draw at work really tempting nto to try it! x

cn i am sure mine appeared when i had loads of oestrogen around when i was ovulating

I don't think it's willpower Cookie it's more being terrified of it being a BFN and being gutted!! Good news that AF hasn't arrived yet so you still have a chance FX!

Glad you had a nice birthday Chapman and got the all clear for the lump

Sorry everyone is feeling down today it's such a roller coaster isn't it!? My week will go one way or the other either a BFP or the arrival of AF on Thurs xx

Glad you had reassuring news about your lump Chapman. You'll be relieved! Did you decide to do a frer?

Thanks Yvonne, it definitely is a roller coaster! You sound much more patient than me. I'm turning into crazy, obsessive lady. FX for your BFP on Thursday!

Well Ive just done an OPK just to see if anything is happening and it came up totally positive straight away. IC test at same time is bfn! I know OPKs can detect pregnancy but equally I know they show a surge before AF. Don't know whether to feel hopeful, but just now I'm just a bit 'blah' and resigned to the fact AF will probably show either tomorrow or weds xx

It's so confusing Cookie!!! I don't think you can ever trust an IC I also read on another thread someone had a few days of positive OPKs and then got a BFP on a FRER a few days later I think you should do your FRER in the morning! FX for you xxx

I'm so tempted to use an OPK now I have loads in the draw did you test with FMU? I just know I'm going to be so gutted if it's BFN tho

I used my opk when I got home from work earlier but hadn't been to the loo or been drinking water for a while, so urine was very strong! I don't know what to think! Neg frer and neg IC but a clear OPK positive! This is driving me bananas! You should try an OPK too Yvonne and see if it shows up anything?

Don't know whether to do the frer tomorrow or weds. I have one left but could always go buy another of needs be! Xx

I have been drinking tea all afternoon I may test tomorrow????

What do you think AF is due? Xx

Whatever you think Mrs! If you have loads it can't hurt to do one?! Would be interesting to see if you get a similar result to me! My AF is due either tomorrow or Weds. I think if my frer is negative tomorrow then I'm definitely out for this month xx

FX for you girls! You testing again tomorrow yeah Cookie?
Go on Yvonne try an OPK test or do a FRER in the morning
It's weird what your mind does to you. Basically spent all day thinking about babies and that I am pregnant and feel quite bloated today so was walking around with my hand on my tummy. weirdo alert. Thing is I'm sure I'm not but I'm over thinking it and the smallest thing is a symptom! Don't want to test unless I don't come on as it's a waste of a test and will put pressure on it!xx

I'll test next time I need a wee I'll let you know how I get on!! Xx

I'm the same Poin it's crazy isn't it I think that's why I don't want to test as I'm in my own happy baby bubble already I need to tho or I'm going to be seriously disappointed if AF arrives! I don't have a FRER as I now it would be too much temptation but I'm going to try a OPK in a little x

Poin, when are you due? You should do a test! I agree Mrs, all I can think about it babies. Literally 5 mins ago 2 people on my Facebook just announced their pregnancies. I feel very envious (but happy for them!).

Ooh do let us know Yvonne! xx

I'm definitely buying a FRER tomorrow!! if only we new what this meant!!! X

Just popping up to see how you're doing and sending lots of luck to you all.
Cookie I don't know about lh surge pre AF but it was a mega positive opk that made me think about testing. Remind me when AF is due?

Yvonne let us know how you get on with the opks. You don't need FMU for 'em so this evening should give an accurate result.

Poin what sort of symptoms have you got?

Googling all this OPK and its all pretty mixed so could be either a sign of a BFP or a sign of AF arriving soon! Actually driving myself crazy

cookie i know im very happy about my results! and no i used a cheapie one. the frer iv got is in my draw at work well actually is the superdrug early results one that i dont dare use! im going to try and hold out til friday thats if AF doesnt show before hand. them opks can pick up pregnancy but i dont know whether they are more sensitive than the cheapie pg tests. xx

yvonne thanku lovely have u tested yet?? FX for you!! xx

I'm definitely buying a FRER tomorrow!! if only we new what this meant!!! X

yvonne oh wow that looks mega positive! hoping its a +ve lovely and not AF i might test tonight using my opks to see if i get a positive!

xxx

Ahh Yvonne, what is going on with us?! Yes googling has drove me to despair tonight! Think I've broke the search box. It's pretty much 50/50 with regards to it being a sign of AFs imminent arrival or early pregnancy! Def do a frer Mrs. Think I'm going to keep my last one to Weds morning and see if AF appears before that.

Planeteer, thanks for the info hun! Did you get positive OPKs before testing? My AF is due tomorrow or weds. I'm on cd33 and precious cycles have been 34 days. Trying to stay hopeful but zero symptoms!

Ooh Chapman, you're doing so well being able to resist using the Superdrug test when it's sitting in your drawer! Have you had any symptoms today? This whole process is just so frustrating! Xx

Yvonne I get you. I'm very sure I'm not pregnant though and it's just wishful thinking!!

Cookie - app says 17th (although it also says due today). I just don't want to wastep it when I'm not.

Planteer have had various over the past week... Nothing has been constant though (add on and off after each symptom..can't be bothered to type every time lol). Tired, achy boobs, bloating, cramps, headaches, moody, creamy cm which is now a bit watery, frequentish weeing, gassy, feeling a bit rubbish.. I strongly believe it's just PMT symptoms so expect a post in a day or so about AF in for a visit!!

Yvonne so a positive OPK can mean pregnant or due to start AF?xx

Yes Chapman, test with your OPKs! God, what have I started haha! Go do one xx

Got a few cramps this afternoon and evening. 8dpo...

Yea Chapman test so we can all be totally confused together! X

Just did an OPK and it's negative. Extremely faint test line.xx
