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

Oh no Chapman sorry to hear AF has arrived! Confusing about you cycles are they normally a regular length? Xxx

cnchapmanxx · 16/02/2016 08:50

Thanks Yvonne! I'm annoyed and upset as per usual but still glad my periods are regular should we say haha! And I've only had one cycle from Dec to Jan tbis is my second technically and it's been 35 days since the 13th Jan.
I've put my detail into Kindara and it looks as if I'm ovulating earlier than I'm expecting so that's maybe why I'm missing it! XXXX

Cookie22 · 16/02/2016 08:53

Ooh I thought your window had passed bee,hence my comment last night that probably doesn't make sense now Grin Fx for you that you've caught!

I've had dull cramps and neg IC this morning. Feel like AF well and truly rearing her ugly head! Will keep FRER for tomorrow if she hasn't appeared by then xx

Cookie22 · 16/02/2016 08:56

Sorry, missed a few comments there. So sorry about AF Chapman Sad do you think taking that pill confused things a little? Fresh start this cycle hun! Would you try clear blue digi OPKs? Xx

lawyeredout82 · 16/02/2016 09:10

Thisisbloodyridiculous - I'm in a similar position to you - got my solid smiley on Sunday morning, DTD Sunday night so hopefully caught the egg as I saw the doctor yesterday re my irregular bleeding and she painted some stuff on my cervix and said no BD for 2 weeks!! Talk about timing...anyway perhaps Sunday will have been enough to have caught it, fx

Poin86 · 16/02/2016 09:29

Sorry to hear that Chapman fingers crossed this means you'll start regulating though!

FX for you Lawyered - hope the paint on the cervix helps figure out if there is an issue.xx

lawyeredout82 · 16/02/2016 09:40

Thanks poin86 - doctor thinks it's a cervical ectropion apparently very common but did a smear just in case. She's confident it should come back clear and all connected to hormones from stopping pill at end of December. She said it shouldn't affect fertility but I should wait for results of the smear now before ttc just in case there's an issue - thankfully only another week or two but it's another month gone!!

cnchapmanxx · 16/02/2016 10:08

cookie its ok hun im fine about it this is only our 2nd cycle trying so i know its not gonna happen overnight :) I wanna try CB but aernt they mega expensive? il have to wait til payday but by them my fertile window is gone hahaha! so this month il just have to make sure i use my OPKs. aw no yur joking!! fx u dont come on i feel like we not getting any luck!

poin thanks hun and yeah i just hate the feeling of being on its such a dull ache. xx

Poin86 · 16/02/2016 11:42

I need to book my smear...need to wait til AF appears though before I try and book it.

Chapman I know hun, it's a rubbish feeling hugs xxx

cnchapmanxx · 16/02/2016 11:46

poin I had my smear last year it wasn't too bad! And everything came back ok! Have you just got to wait for that before you can ttc? I've come home from work I'm in that much agony never had pain like this before xxxx

Poin86 · 16/02/2016 11:53

It's just my routine smear. Had my first one a few years back. Was due it in November but as I'd just stopped the pill wasn't 100% on my cycles so didn't want to book just to cancel again as appointments are scarce at the GPs!

Aww bless you.xx

shankate182 · 16/02/2016 12:30

Sorry about AF appearing cnchapmanxx hugs sent ur way :)
Hey how is everyone today I'm in great form? But I woke up starving so sending DH down for a breakfast roll 😅
Boobs are a bit sore today and CM is a creamy colour so I must of ov? FX for me girls :)

Yvonne1986 · 16/02/2016 13:10

Oh no Cookie can't believe you had another neg IC any sign of AF when is it due? FX you will get a BFP when you use your FRER!

You sounds like your suffering today Chapman hope your curled up comfy of the sofa xx

Babydust to everyone we really need some BFPs on here! No news for me x

Maple14 · 16/02/2016 13:41

Hello ladies. Decided to book to see a private consultant end of March. Figured it would help to have something to focus on if I have still not had AF by then.

Hoping she might agree to let me have a go on provera/clomid.

I seem to have no symptoms of anything at all, other than being ridiculously moody and emotional. Poor DH has his work cut out trying to get me to stay positive!

shankate182 · 16/02/2016 13:52

After getting a mad craving for curry chips 😅 now I'm in the middle of cooking them the same with onion rings can't stop eating them 😅😅

Poin86 · 16/02/2016 15:51

Not feeling great at all this afternoon... gassy and a bit constipated but also feel like I could have an upset stomach... the joys.xx

Poin86 · 16/02/2016 15:54

Oh and a bit sicky too but think that's because my stomach hurts.xx

Yvonne1986 · 16/02/2016 16:24
