Thanks for setting up the new thread bobo! I am ttc baby number one and now on cycle 4.

I am now on cd19 and no ovulation yet (I think). 2 days ago I had a very nearly positive opk, did another one a few hours later expecting it to be positive and it had gone back to a really faint line. I am almost certain I didn't ovulate as I'm still getting twinges like I do before ov, and I always get sore nipples after ov, which I don't right now. Bloody confusing! All I can think of is that my body was gearing up to ov but didn't for some reason. The last 3 cycles iv been ovulating around cd22/23 so hopefully won't be waiting too long.

LuciBee231015 · 18/07/2016 21:43

Hi Ladies, I've been keeping up with your updates, hope you don't mind if I join?

I'm planning to come off of cerazette in around 2 weeks time after my holiday... Absolutely dreading it as coming off pill sounds awful!

Excited, but scared of the side effects too! I plan to keep watching and will pipe up once I come off my pill, 2 weeks and counting 😁

Purpleviola14 · 18/07/2016 22:34

Claire, I've been ov around cd 22/23 too, how long is your luteal phase? Mine has only been 9-10 days Blush x

Purpleviola14 · 18/07/2016 22:35

Hi to all the newbies Smile

ClaireSunflower · 18/07/2016 23:28

Hi purple my first luteal phase was 7 days. I started taking b complex vitamins after that to help lengthen it, after that they have been 10, then 11 day, hoping for a longer one this time. Apparently anything over 10 is fine, plus I've seen people get bfps at 8/9 dpo so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Purpleviola14 · 19/07/2016 06:24

That's reassuring. I started taking bcomplex too so hopefully that should help

Johno85 · 19/07/2016 11:16

Oh dear I think I can sense the witch is on her way! Cramps central and stinging boobs! Weird though as my temp is still high Sad

BoBo90 · 19/07/2016 14:27

Johno she is just messing with you! Tell her where to go!

Of course you can join Luci! I will add you to the list ready Smile

Thanks BoBo! 😊

Piehunter · 19/07/2016 16:17

I've been lurking for a while now, so should probably say hi! I came off cerazette 3 weeks ago, no withdrawal bleed or anything however suspect may have ov'd this month?! Wasn't expecting to but Ewcm and now my boobs and nipple are so so sore! We aren't actually trying until after my appt on 15th August with pregnancy clinic as i have a condition that amongst other non pregnancy things causes miscarriage, so I may need my meds changing/adding to to give us the best chance!

Johno85 · 19/07/2016 17:22

Hi piehunter (great name!) welcome to the crazy side

Bobo still nowt so far. Boobs sore, cramps, temp high, HR is oddly high. Think it's gonna be boom or bust for me tomorrow.

How's the rest of the tww ladies going? How many dpo are you now Bobo, 4? X

sparkle789 · 19/07/2016 18:39

Hi to the new joiners.

I'm on cd36 and no sign of af! Feel sick still, very bloated and exhausted. I didn't bring and pregnancy tests with me though, so won't be able to test again until Sunday.
Good luck to the other tww'ers

Loulabelle1990 · 19/07/2016 19:39

Welcome newbies!

Johno I hope AF stays away for you! You still going to test in the morning?

happybus28 · 19/07/2016 19:45

Hi bobo you have me on the list but no details so TTC#1 Cycle 2!

Johno85 · 19/07/2016 20:08

Hey lou. I'm torn whether to test tomorrow or give it another couple of days so I'm more dpo. Will be 14 dpo tomorrow. Trying not to get my hopes up. Last cycle I was just about to test when AF arrived! Envy

BoBo90 · 19/07/2016 21:30

Welcome pie! Look at all you sneaky lurkers piping up 😄 I'll add you to the list tomorrow!

Claire and happy I will update the list for you too 😄

Johno 😱 How can you toy with me this way! I was all excited for a poas moment in the morning!
I guess I can let you off 😉 If you can wait longer then you go for it! You have more will power than me 😄 Xxx

OP posts:
Loulabelle1990 · 19/07/2016 21:32

Yeah John I think you should maybe wait a little longer - it's like your pissing on a £5 note otherwise and effectively wasting it! If nothing tomorrow maybe test thur or fri!

Johno85 · 19/07/2016 21:34

I think it's more denial of a bfn than will power Bobo. Knowing me though I'll cave in the morning and do one anyway! I think I know if I do one 14dpo and its negative I may not get my BFP this month..... Promise I will keep you posted either way. X

booboodedooboop · 19/07/2016 21:56

Hello all, hope I can hop on here Smile

TTC #1 and on cycle 4 after Cerazette, sounds like I've been really lucky with my immediate 28 day cycles! Unfortunately my LP is only about 9 days at the moment, so this is my first cycle on B6 - fingers crossed!

SummerHopin · 19/07/2016 22:00

Hi ladies, just to say hi on the new thread.
I'm still a beginner in the science of ttc, but after 3 cycles of "seeing what happens" I'm now 110% crazed and my OPK kit has arrived :)
My 1st 2 cycles were 4 weeks and the last was 5.5weeks so a little irregular, I'm going to start testing in a week or so and then will probably be on here needing help to see that all important extra line.

Also - hello to Sunnydays and thank you for that message. It sure is lovely to hear a success story :) I'm really pleased for you and your bump!
x

sarahhh1984 · 19/07/2016 22:19

Hi ladies! Just arrived in Greece and AF has shown up. However, quite pleased about this because it's a neat 28 day cycle and tells me my bits are all in working order! Plus as soon as AF has finished me and DH can make the most of the romantic Santorini atmosphere and dtd loads! Wink

Fx for that BFP from one of you ladies. Will keep an eye on the thread! x

Johno85 · 20/07/2016 07:20

Morning all. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news as I know Bobo everyone has been waiting for me to poas. Bright white BFN this morning at 14dpo. Temp high, HR high, no sign of AF. Will wait till Sunday to test before I head off on my holibobs X

SummerHopin · 20/07/2016 10:38

FX for you Johno :)

Loulabelle1990 · 20/07/2016 11:47

Sorry for the bfn johno! Fx it's too early!

BoBo90 · 20/07/2016 12:17

Sorry it wasn't a bfp Sarahh but good for you putting a positive spin on it!! And a nice 28day cycle which is great!

Don't worry Johno it might get be too early, you might not produce hcg very quickly. How long is your lp normally? And I'm not a temper but isnt a high temp still a good sign? 😄

I'm 4 dpo today! Possibly 5dpo but I'm going on the lower number so I don't waste an extra day of tests!😆

Since I seem to be in this for the long haul I've decided to face each cycle with blind optimism! Which is why you are all going to to get positive vibes from me every time you poas 😘 Xxx
