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

Hi girl, just checking in! Still at a boring stage where nothing at all is happening. CD18 and not even a hint of a positive OPK yet. Part of me is thinking it might be a good thing as last month I seemed to have a series of multiple surges. Hopefully by the weekend I might get a positive!

Thanks Chapman & Bobo for your lovely words during my crazy vent the other night! Feeling much better now- you girls are all so lovely. Chapman, try not to worry huni, I'm sure everything will be absolutely fine. You're little bean will just be settling into its comfy new home for the next 9 months. I'd be the same as you though as I'm a crazy worrier when it comes to anything in life, so I can't imagine what I'd be like if/when I ever get a bfp! I loved hearing the story of how you told your DH- so lovely!!

High hopes, I feel your pain Mrs! I've had crazy long cycles too where I don't really know what is going on. It sucks! FX ov comes for you soon!

May, I took AC last few months and it seems to have helped my cycles. I took 1000mg, which I believe is the right dosage. Haven't took it this cycle though as I've ran out. Maybe that's why nothing is happening for me yet and it's cd18!!

Bobo, how's you lovely? Could totally sympathise with you when you said about your cat. I'm crazy cat lady and treat my wee fur baby like an actually baby. I hate it when she wanders for too long!

Watching One Born Every Minute just now and it's breaking my heart, waaaah! I want one! Xx

Chapman sorry to hear you have had a horrid day. Understand why you are worried, I am sure I would be a nightmare. But try to let yourself relax and enjoy this special time. Easier said than done I know!

Cookie and Bobo thanks for the AC advice. Think I will get some ordered - feeling like AF imminent tonight .

I have all this series of one born stored on planner. Could feel myself getting emotional watching first one so have avoided watching! Love it but not the best when feeling soooo broody!!

Bobo - aw no sorry babe I meant like because I found out I was pregnant like at week 4 I'm worrying and stressing that I could suffer a chemical but I've been on the phone to my best friend who's a midwife (she's amazing) and she was like it would of already happened by now and your lines on your tests were really strong. I'm just worried about everything I'm a wreck 🙁 Thankyou Hun I'm just hormonal haha

Cookie - don't worry Hun we are all hear for you! And that's good news it literally only takes one time! Thankyou sweetie I'm just so worried about it all I'm fine now I was just a bit stressed and people at work were stressing me out haha!! Oh fuck forgot that was on 😂 Il need to re watch it.

May- thankyou doll I think cause it's my first I'm worrying about the slightest thing like why are my boobs not sore now, why am I not cramping etc! I hope AC works for you sweetie xxx

Chapman - thank god for that! You had me worried there! Lucky you having a midwife friend 😊 Try not to worry about any negatives and just enjoy baking that little bun 😄 and all the crazy hormonal emotions that come with it! X

Aw Chapman... Sorry you had a rubbish day. I would say try not to worry but I'm exactly the same! I found out at 3+3!! And then I really wished I didn't know until later! I was so worried... And I still am (as you guys have seen!!) I flip between nonchalant "what will be will be/I can't control it/enjoy each day" kinda feeling to absolutely neurotically prodding my boobs, going to the toilet and checking for blood and weeing on a stick a day!! I thought ttc was stressful and worrying but this is a whole other level (sorry other ladies, I know you would take that worry any day to be in the same position, I don't mean i wish it away!) I just can't wait to get past 12 weeks, but even then I think you don't stop worrying, you just worry about different things!

Hello everyone else, cookie sorry you are in the boring stage but fingers crossed you get surge soon.. If not get back on the agnus. I only took it for a week before ovulating last cycle, I only went back on it because I got to cd30+ with no sign of ov.. It seemed to work. Bobo, glad furbaby is back! Ours like to go walkabouts for days sometimes just to freak is out. Sorry to everyone else... I skipped ahead to last page to see what happened with Chapman and now I can't go back to catch up without losing what Iv written. I'm at airport waiting to come home so will catch up properly when I'm back. Xx

Morning Ladies, day 124 of first cycle here, this AC cannot come quick enough!!! I've read some good and some bad stuff about it (like everything) but as you all seem to have had positive experiences, going to give it a shot! Keep swaying between its just my body adjusting after the pill to surely this cannot be normal!!

Bobo, Cookie- I am totally the same with my little furry boy, in fact when he doesn't some home at night I take to sleeping on the sofa and waiting for him to return, the other half thinks I am mental!

Chapman- absolutely love the way you told your news, try not to worry, like everyone's said the little one will just be settling in there!

I am off for a little break tomorrow, first time off this year so hopefully some r&r may encourage af to arrive :)

Cookie - sorry hun I missed your last message to me! Our fur baby has a bad habbit of running off back to our old house! Luckily it's my mums house so we just go and pick him up but he is a bugger haha
Catmum- we should start a crazy cat lady club!

Hi you lovely ladies I'll try keep this short.

Stopped my mini pill ( cerelle ) progesterone only on 30th may had possible w/d or even af 2 days later,

On around the 13th of June I had the following symptoms

• very bloated
• starving
• clear CM
• diarrhoea
• stomach cramps I though af was about to come

24th June dtd with OH after I wiped tmi I had some pinkish/brownish spotting.

Around 2 days later tingling sensations on side of boobs and tugging pain going to my armpits, I still had uterus pain.
Nipples extremely sore and erect. ( they're never erect )

Took a cheap hpt afternoon urine on the 1st July bfn

Anyway from Monday 4th July my symptoms have gotten worse.

• boobs are bigger ( skin tight on sides )
• nipples still erect but not sore
• areola massive and darker with lots of glands on them
• protruding veins going through my nipples
and veins in side
•Lots and lots of white CM when I wipe
•Flu symptoms
• feeling sick
• very hot flushes I had to sleep with a fan on and I'm usually freezing.
• headaches
• so tired
• loss of appetite
• vivid dreams the last 2 nights dreamt I was pregnant
• af type pains but not bad
• metallic taste and extra Saliva
• started crying 3 days ago

I'm taking a test on Friday. FMU

I understand the pill can mess up your system but surely to god my boobs wouldn't be getting bigger and areola massive lol

I'm praying I am.

I've heard stopping the pill can make you ovulate and become more fertile ??

Anyone please any advise I feel like I'm going crazy xx

Baby dust to you all
