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

Yeah cookie you really should test :)

Fantastic news Yvonne!
Really pleased for you. How many dpo are you today?

Congratulations Yvonne. xxx

yvonne so that's what your positive opk meant!

Omg Yvonne huni- wow!! Amaaaaaazing news!! I'm so so over the moon for you! What a brilliant line you have too!! Ahhhh!! I bet you're still in a daze!! Have you told DH yet?? This news has just cheered me right up!! My cheapies are still showing neg and I had (tmi!) a massive blob of what looked like ewcm today! I'm so bloody confused!! OPK is now now faint! Will do a frer first thing tomorrow. Were your cheapies showing as positive Yvonne before your FRER? Do let us know how DH reacts eeek! Xx

Thanks everyone xx

Cookie didn't do a cheapy I bought a twin pack of FRER and thought I would try it as it says you can test anytime of the day so I did! DH still isn't home he is stuck in traffic so will probably in about 8.30 it's so hard not to just yell it down the phone!! FX for you FRER in the morning EWCM is a good sign!!

I'm 13 dpo now First I wouldn't have even tested today if I didn't get that positive OPK! What CD ru now? Xx

CD54 possibly 9dpo... had a few cramps last couple of days

Aww Yvonne I bet time is just dragging in until DH is home- you must be pacing the floor! I'm really not holding out much hope for my bfp tomorrow tbh. I think I should have at least got a faint line on my IC by now, but have all been bfn ahh xx

Yvonne!!! Amazing news. Congratulations. What great news. Have you told hubby yet? How did he react? It really cheers me up to see you ladies get bfps with crazy cycles and after months of trying! Xx

I've nearly worn the carpet out I don't know what to do with myself I just can't wait to tell him, he was only saying on Sat he wanted to have his sperm checked as he was so worried!! sorry for the TMI!

Aww bless yous! Can't wait to hear about his reaction! Must be an amazing feeling knowing you've got a wee person growing inside of you! Xx

Fantastic news Yvonne! Glad to hear of a positive story tonight 😃

Anyone know why I might only have got ewcm today despite having a solid smiley on Sunday (sorry if tmi!!)? I thought ewcm usually came before positive opk? If so it looks as if I may have missed the boat as doctor said no BD for two weeks yesterday and last time we DTD was Sunday night. Bah.

I get EWCM a few days after Ovulation too so FX you caught it x

Congratulations Yvonne! So pleased for you. How did telling DH go?

Hey everyone
Yvonne how did telling DH go
About 6 people came over to me today congratulating me about the baby news 😅 but there is no baby news? Was pissing me off big time :(
Yvonne DH keeps saying the same to me that it's his fault I'm not pregnant yet? I keep telling him we are only trying 2 months but he's depressed over it big time :/

Well to say DH was shocked would be an understatement I think he had convinced himself it wasn't happening!! He is over the moon I was all tearful telling him it is really early days for you Shan I think you just expect it to happen 1st cycle but I go to show it does happen later on too xxxxx

Yvonne
I know u have me kept positive I'm just not gona give up and keep trying :) and FX I got that BFP soon :)

Glad it went well telling DH Yvonne. It'll probably start sinking in today so exciting! BFN on Frer today @14dpo. Gutted! Really had my hopes up as my nipples have been very sensitive since yest morning (I never get any sort of boob pain, even around AF!). Looks like I'm just waiting for the witch to rock up now! Xx

Congratulations Yvonne!! 😄 You must be so excited! I can't wait until I get to tell dh that news must be so lovely to see their reaction 😊

Af has buggered off at last. 5-6 day period is about right compared to pre-pill so I'm hoping that's a sign you body is sorting itself out! Immow taking Agnus castus to help. Anyone here had any luck with Agnus castus and regulating cycles? X

Sorry about the bfn cookie, but you're not 100% out til the witch arrives.

Watching with interest bobo. I've not heard of agnus castus but I have very irregular cycles, so it might be worth a try for me.

Agnus castus has seemed to work for me in regulating my cycles! Going from 56+ day cycles to 34/35 days. I'd definitely recommend! (Tho today is CD 34 for me & still no AF so maybe I'm in for a long one this month!) xx

Sorry about you BFN cookie :(
At least ur cycles are back to normal xx

Oh wow congratulations Yvonne! You and your DH must be over the moon . It just takes patience and hard work!

Sorry about your bfn cookie, but like the others say, your not out till AF arrives!

I have had a development as AF has finally turned up. It's the first bleed I've had since coming off the pill in December, so would this be like my withdrawal bleed or a proper period! Feels like a proper period to me!

Lou it'll be a proper period now I'd say. Withdrawal bleeds if you're going to get them are normally straight away.

Cookie sorry about your BFN. Still got everything crossed for you.xx

Sorry about your BFN Cookie any sign of AF fx it's just too early still has you don't know exactly how long after your positive OPK you ovulated xx

That's a good sign you have had your first period Lou I waited so long after stopping the pill for mine! Ru going to temp or use OPKs this cycle x
