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

Few little cramps this evening. Could mean AF in a couple of days

Hopefully not first when are u due to test?

Stay positive first I've read quite a few comments from people having cramps then getting a BFP! Xxx

Testing on thursday cn

yvonne thanks, it is so hard not to read too much into every little symptom

Keeping my FX for you First xxx

Thank you. This thread is great for support.
Got my fx for everyone

Hi again! I've decided to dip back into this thread after a family wedding this weekend where everyone asked whether I was pregnant (I wasn't drinking). Felt like shouting at all of them "I'm trying! Leave me alone!" So:
On Logynon for 12 years (age 16-28) and Cerazette for the past 2. Came off to TTC in August 2015 but no period yet. Did OPK every day for the first 3 months or so but have given up and now just waiting desperately for AF to arrive!

Cramps have settled but my boobs are less sore this am so i predict my progesterone levels have fallen and AF will appear next couple of days.

Update - I caved an tested after doing an opk (not sure why?) which was the darkest I had in my whole cycle!
BFN. So I think I am out this cycle!

GP telephone call on thursday afternoon to request all the fertility bloods and referral. I think I will fit the criteria for referral after only 6 months trying due to "severe oligomennorhea" meaning we basically have minimal chances!

Will get my husband to get a semen analysis and hope referral doesn't take too long. I hope one of us works!

I suspect clomid will be the answer for getting me ovulating and being able to time DTD!

My nipples wdf? I cud tear into them they are really ichy? Anyone getting this? Kind sore also is it ov symptom or what?

Shankate I always get really sore nipples around Ovulation!

First it's still early days to test I would still do a FRER if AF doesn't arrive by Thurs. Good to get the ball rolling with the GP and try to stay positive my friend only had on average two cycles a year and then got pregnant the first month she started Ovulation meds (not sure of the name) so there is lots of options out there and we will get out BFPs eventually xxxx

Staying positive!
Hope the GP is happy to make referrals for me at this stage rather than telling me to wait.

Just a bit impatient. Now is a good time career wise to get pregnant and take some time out, so don't want to wait forever!

Some EWCM today also? Ov could be on its way I think? CD 11 it is for me :)

Now trying to work out if I didn't actually ovulate on 27th.
Could be I haven't ovulated at all... or did I ovulate yesterday with all my cramps?
My breast tenderness and sensitive nipples could all be related to oestrogen around ovulation (or just messed up hormones in general!).
Think I need some bloods!

sorry your test was bfn first hopefully the cramps might just be a sign of early pg.
hoping your doctors can give you some clarification of whats happening!

Update with me no ewcm anymore its very dry. boobs still a bit tender but aprt from that no symtoms! no AF symptoms either but then again i dont know whether im due to come on on the 10th or 21st! x

cn i think some bloods would give me some clarity. i doubt the gp themselves will be able to fill in many gaps without those.

once i eventually need contraception again i'm getting the coil!

first yeah sorry i meant the bloods can hopefully clarify whats going on haha!

I know tell me about it i think im just going to get the implant again every other contraception seems to mess your body up!

cn i am now convincing myself that my symptoms the last few days ma have been ovulation. no opks to back it up though! other than ones looking like this today:

So confusing First it must be driving you mad!! Have you got any other signs of OV such as EWCM? Maybe do an OPK each day now and see if you get a peak??? Xx

looking back at my app I logged that I had ewcm on thursday and friday. but i think i may have just turned a blind eye as I was convinced i was in the 2ww!

I DTD on thursday evening and sunday am.
So if my cramps pains yesterday evening was ovulation then maybe I have timed it well!

no more DTD this week i expect as I am on nights.

It's so confusing as all the signs mean different things at different times!! I suppose it doesn't matter when you OV as long as you catch it which you hopefully have!!! It might be another long TWW for you now!! Xxx

Hugs first it's so difficult reading the signs! I'm with you on the confusion! Cd 75 and had 3 days of positive opks last week. Couldn't test over the weekend but thought I'd definitely peaked and so it wouldn't matter. Have had sore nipples and needed to wee loads the last couple of days, and have been constantly on the verge of tears. Just did another opk and got this pretty much immediately. Whaaaat's going ooooon???! Where are you, egg?!

Have seen the dr who's referred me for bloods and a pcos screening. So confused right now!

Have you done a pregnancy test planteer?

Bfn a week ago...

have you done another one?
any other ?+ve opks in this cycle?

I would test again given your symptoms
