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

Bobo I hardly had any EWCM this cycle before getting the BFP. About one blob and that was it!
We were using baby oil as a lubricant after I had done some reading about it and found its sperm friendly as we didn't get on with preseed.
Good luck to you!
Xx

So girls I'm 5 days late today :/ I'm off to do a test this evening when I get around to the shop :) wish me luck :* BFP all the way :)

Thanks girls! Hopefully it won't matter too much then 😄 Just did another Opk and it's now darker than the control line! I think this is the first time I've actually been excited about ttc 😄😄😄

Good luck Shankate!! I've got fx for you! Let us know how you get on 😊

Good luck Shankate!! I'm also late too I think - holding off at the moment as I got a bfn on Friday (10/11 dpo) so don't want to do another test too soon!! Let us know how you get on xx

Hey girls just tested and BFN :( I am detested :( gona test again in the morning to see but it's 5 he latest iv ever been :( now have to go home and tell DH as he had Hugh hopes for a BFP

But it's only a tesco one but still it should show if I'm 5 days late on Any1 what do ye think?

Oh shankate how gutting. I had the same thing last month when I was convinced it would be positive but then wasn't and my period was just very very late. When did you stop the pill?

I stopped it the start of December?

I stopped in December too - think it must take time for our bodies to get back to normal. Ridiculous. I can join you in the BFN party as I just took a test and it was negative xx Lets both be positive about next month xx

So sorry shankate.
Gutting. Hope you and DH can prop each other up.

I'm on CD32 with a bfn. Cycles have been gradually getting longer since stopping in Dec too. Sigh.

Yeah I have noticed my cycles are getting longer also ? I'm gona test in the morning again just to see and if AF doesn't arrive by next week il test again?

Keep the faith everyone. My cycles got longer (38, 32, 48 then 77). I concieved on what would have been a 60 day cycle.
It is frustrating and hard to know when to dtd, but it will happen!

Thanks for keeping us positive first :)

Sorry to hear of your bfn's . It's so hard to keep positive but I guess we just all need to keep the faith! Think we just get too impatient.

I was getting so stressed with it. couldn't go for a pee without POAS of some sort. in the end i missed my LH surge as I had a busy weekend and didn't test... just got lucky with timing.

It is hard with such long cycles because I don't now about anyone else but every other day is unrealistic for that length of time!

Well if it's not here by next week il Deffo by clear blue test or first response anyways if it negative I don't know what's going on cus never in my life did I have a cycle this length always had 29/30 day cycles always on time ?

shankate unfortunately this can happen when you come off the pill. mine use to be regular before i went on it and then all over the place when i came off.

Sorry for everyone with the BFNs

Shankate - Did you definitely ovulate and is this still cycle 1 after coming off the pill?

I have just started my tww so let the madness commence

Hi ladies, I've just read all the stats from the beginning of the thread & think this is the place for me (if you'll have me!)

Rosie
TTC #1
Cycle 3

I've been off of the pill now (rigevidon) for over a year after being on it for 4 years & still have irregular cycles. 79, 56, 53, 37, 44, 89 & I'm currently on CD 39 this month I ovulated on cd14 & 37!!?? No idea what is going on.

I went to the doctors on Tuesday & he is sending me for bloods, US & DH for a sample. I've been having milk leak from my breasts irregularly for over 6 years now & apparently this should have been sorted out by my last doctor as it shows irregular hormones but instead the doctor just told me not to touch them.

Feeling frustrated & helpless

No its cycle 3

Welcome Rosie. Sorry to hear you are having a tough time since coming off the pill. Did you have regular periods before you went on it?

Hopefully the tests will help work out what is going on - for me it helped put my mind at rest a bit and stopped me stressing so much.

Sorry to hear about your BFN shankate, I'm afraid it can take a while for everything to settle down after the pill. I must have conceived on CD 40 ish last year with no indication I was ovulating at all so it can happen when you don't expect it. Just a case of keeping at it and trying not to stress or think about it too much.

first I definitely agree.. I cannot sustain every other day for a whole 40-70 day cycle (whatever this one ends up being!) if you know when you are going to ovulate you can plan it but it's just complete pot luck! When I got my almost opk last week we were trying to dtd every other day... And then my opks faded to almost nothing again and I got grumpy and though f**k it, and we haven't had sex in 6 days until today! Oops. Back on it now though as I hopefully will icily late at some point.

Welcome rosie. Hope you tests either put your mind at ease or give you a problem with a simple solution. After a year with irregular cycles lots of gynaes will offer clomid which most people respond very well to, I think that's where we are heading.

Good luck with your tww bobo.

lawyer have you tested again, aren't you late now? Fingers crossed for you.

Have a nice weekend everyone x

Ovulate!! Not Icily late

Hello everyone! AF arrived yesterday so I'm out for the month. Discussed with DH last night whether to wait for a couple of months before restarting TTC as our maternity policy at work means that if I have a baby after February I will get 6 months full pay whereas before that I get pretty much zilch (statutory). If we we to conceive this month then it would be a mid December baby so it really isn't that long to wait and would kick ourselves if we missed out on all that money I think. So hard to know as on one hand just want to let nature take its course and sod the money and on the other would hate to miss out on it by a couple of days!! Xx

Maple yes I had regular periods before. It's makes you wonder about the pill & what it's actually doing to your body doesn't it!?

Thanks sunnydays I just have my Fx that it's just another hurdle on the way to my BFP!

I'm going by my 2nd ovulation this month which would make me 3DPO. positive thinking
