Haha you have to be a bit evil to get what you want sometimes 😜
Definitely a bit sneaky to say you've been ttc longer! Do I think you should still say it?? Hell yeh! They don't need to know exact dates 😉

Precisely. Besides...2 and a half months and 6 months are really easy to mix up. I've never been good with numbers anyway. ;)

pesky it's worth a try but honestly all our cycles seem to be all over the place after stopping the pill so I really do think it can take several months to get back in your own rhythm unfortunately:( fx for you. I have no idea what my cycle is doing at the moment and it's so frustrating. It's crazy how it can be so consuming when it's one of the hardest things to predict and control! Literally as soon as I started trying it's all I can think about!

bobo are you going to keep testing daily?

Sorry to hear about the bfn Bobo! Keep testing though hun, I really did think I saw a little something on one of those tests! Pesky, when I went to the doctors in March I told a little white lie and said I'd been ttc longer than I had. It won't do any harm to slightly exaggerate the truth! Xx

I'm going to test tomorrow but af is also due tomorrow eek! We will see what happens! I just don't know how to feel one second I'm certain af is on the way and the next I'm still clinging on to the faint line and hoping it's a positive I'm just a nutter!

Some one has to get a bfp soon though so come on you tww'ers! Lets see those lines

Maybe it will be you who gets the bfp Cookie you must be in the tww now! How long until testing day?

Hey bobo I'm crossing everything for you Hun! Day 17 just waiting for my solid smiley and ov here. Have basically told DH that we are dtd every day this week. I'm getting impatient and we need to bring our A game. He can sleep next week

Thanks for the updated list bobo, it's getting difficult to keep up with everyone there are so many! You're right, it must happen for someone (or two!) Soon!

Haha go johno! How does he feel about it, is he ok about doing it like that? I've been worried about putting too much pressure on my oh about dtd at the right time but at the same time I know he's impatient too, he was trying to persuade me a year ago!

Hey jj. Well he's a chef so we only actually go to bed at the same time about 2 or 3 times a week. Then I'm up before him or vice versa, and he often finishes late and I'm asleep when he gets in. I was really relaxed last cycle (and still trying to be) but I basically explained the actual stats of it and he was like "oh right, yeh that's quite a low percentage chance".... Was like a lightbulb moment.

I just can't help but think if we just "see what happens" with his shifts we could end up eternally ttc! Good news is my cycles have finally sorted heir act out. Pretty sure I'm gonna ov about the same time as last cycle which means about a 31 cycle again. It's getting to that point now that when I ever get my BFP I'm gonna be in total shock!

Hi BoBo, unfortunately you can remove me from the list rather than continue to let you add it!
He split up with me via whatsapp at 2am Sunday morning whilst i was asleep next to him and is wanting to buy me out of the house so I will not be TTC.. well with anyone now. 😢😢 lost, totally broken, and terribly upset.
Good luck to you all and thanks for your support over the past three threads. Take care.xx

Holy shit Poin. I am really really sorry to hear your awful news. I have literally been exactly there. Sending you hugs via the Internet and hope that man never relocates his balls!!!

Johno I know how that is, my oh works in a pub so does crazy shifts too so makes it difficult. I find mornings are best though... even if he got home in the middle of the night he doesn't object to a morning dtd before I go to work and he goes back to sleep lol. Men.

Poin I am so sorry for you. I know it probably doesn't mean anything, especially coming from strangers, but we all know how stressful and anxious this ttc can be so having that happen must be heartbreaking but anyone who treats you like that isn't worth you. I hope you're OK.

Oh Poin I'm so sorry!!

What a total bastard breaking up with you like that!! 😡 It's going to be hard and emotional but you will eventually move on and you deserve better than a man who ends things over whatsapp!!

Take it as a sign from the universe and one day you will be ttc with your soul mate! Take care of yourself lovely and spend time with family and friends for support xxxx

Oh my gosh Pion, I'm so sorry. What a shock! Such an awful thing to happen! Take care xx

AF arrived today making my first cycle off the pill 37 days. Thinking of starting temping this month.

Oh crap Poin that's so awful bless you. I seriously wonder what the hell is wrong with some people. You are worth so so much more than that, take care lovely xxx

Anna that's so lucky, which pill were you on?

Currently cycle 2 cd 15 and still waiting for ov, think my cycles are still settling themselves down so god knows how long I'll be waiting.

Hi purpleviola, yes I'm pleased I wasn't waiting longer it was starting to stress me a bit. I was on Ginet. How about you?

How are you tracking ov?

Morning Anna,
Oh I've never heard of that was it a mini or combined pill?
I came off back in March, so my first cycle was 75 days long! I dint know what on earth was going on, I temp and use OPKs but I've tried to be a bit more relaxed about it this cycle, you can drive yourself crazy can't you?
How about you?
Xx

Poin, that's so awful, I'm sorry you have to go through this. Lots of hugs, and hoping that time will help make things better.

purple, the temps are looking much better! The fluctuations are around 36.2 and 36.5 as opposed to 36 and 37.5! I've also had some interesting results from my OPK experiment. I'll post a proper summary later this month, but I'm fairly certain I got a peak fertility reading yesterday with the OPK strip. The CB digital has only given me high fertility over the last few days, but no peak reading. So there's a chance I actually have ovulated this month, and the CB digital didn't pick it up.

I'm now going to look up the sensitivity of each test, find out if that's got something to do with getting conflicting results.

Anna good news about AF, hope your cycles are getting back to normal . And thanks Bobo for updating the list!

Poin I am so sorry to hear what your going through. Hugs .

Sorry about your bfn bobo! Fx your not out just yet!

I am feeling really depressed, been getting flashing smiley now for 7 days and no peak and if I do get my peak it means my cycle is longer than the last one! I just want to stop testing now, last month I had 5 highs and then my peak, only thing which is different this month is I started taking seven seas trying for a baby, not sure if that would affect it. I am wondering also whether my LH surge was too little to pick up or I am simply not ovulating this month?? I got all the signs last week - EWCM, ov pain etc but has all stopped now!!

Don't know what to think xx

purple Ginet is a combined pill, I'm in NZ so possibly called something different in the UK? Gosh 75 days! How has it been since? Last month I just used Ovia to predict my fertile week. This month I have bought some OPK so will try them out. I have ordered a thermometer too. It is so easy to get completely wrapped up in it. I swing between I'll just see what happens and then obsessing over it all again. Silly.

mishy how interesting! Looking forward to an update :)

Oh God Poin, what an absolute fucker!! Hope you're ok doll. It may not seem like it at the moment but things will get better in time. Hopefully karma will catch up with him too! Hugs lovely

Did you test today Bobo? I'm feeling that horrible pain again in my lower abdomen so I take it the eggo has poppedo! Again, I feel like we couldn't have tried harder with the dancing - fri night, sat morning, sun morning and night and last night. Will try for tonight just to cover all bases (if this horrible pain goes away) #exhausted who else is next to test? Xx

Anna - 🎉 Woo for af!!

Lou - that's so frustrating for you hun! I would say keep testing just in case but as you had all the signs last week maybe you ov'd then and CB just didn't pick it up?? Do you just test with those once a day?
If you do plent last week hopefully you caught the egg!

Cookie - haha 'eggo poppedo' made me laugh! You get a for all that bd'ing! I have everything tossed for you and chucking bucket loads of baby dust your way!! When is test day?

Oh and bfn again cookie! Just waiting for af

poin oh I am so sorry love! Hope you're doing ok and I know it won't mean much from an Internet stranger but trust me it will get better

Good news about the egg popping cookie go attack your dh! Haha

I tested this morning at 10dpo but bfn for me. Will try again tomorrow if no AF by then. I am not feeling positive as I don't feel any different to the last 2 months, backache and crampy, bad skin so i am sure the witch is on her way. Would love to be proved wrong!
