Holiday not till Sunday morning bobo but how on earth could I go a day week without your comic genius proper made me belly (can't use bump excuse yet) laugh Pahahah X

Deffo two lines lapin! Congrats lovely .

Babydances I'm with you on the hot weather being a passion killer. Really struggling this week! Meant to be DTD every other day. Haven't even done it once yet this week! .

Johno I am still hoping your AF won't turn up this weekend! We need more BFP's on here!

JJ, how are you getting on?? Hope your okay xx

Much clearer lines Lapin! How exciting! Congrats!

I'm coming off pill on 31st July, so I will have real updates and probably loads of questions soon!

Hi luci, I read your post earlier.

I came off cerazette on 6th December last year, didn't get a withdrawal bleed and had my first proper period after 72 days!

The symptoms when I came off it were exactly like pg symptoms so all very confusing. Fx for you

Thanks Loulabelle. Will just have to see how my body decides to react when I come off!

I'm sure I'll be boring you all with my symptoms! But hey.... That's what these forums are for! Don't want to keep taking about it to DH as don't want him to feel pressured etc.

Lovely to see BFP congratulations xx

Morning all. Anyone testing today?

So it seems AF has arrived Weird but bbt hasn't dipped to cover line, I did just read that once full AF arrives the cover line becomes irrelevant as its now a new cycle.

Negatives- 41 day cycle, think I ovulated later with no peak opk, have had a very stressful cycle and that's probably a contributing factor, I won't be in my fertile week on holiday when I'll actually see DH everyday and night. And duh- and another bfn!

Positives- looking forward to a cold turkey cycle with no bbt or opk- just waiting and seeing what my body throws at me, last day at work before a much awaited 2 weeks holiday to surprise my parents who live abroad, I can eat and drink to my hearts content on holiday, I have all you lovely ladies to keep me sane and entertained.

Bobo how's your cold turkey cycle going? Anyone else still doing it? Just need the will power not to temp!

X

Stupid witch! Sorry Johno, sending virtual hugs your way!
Well done for looking at all the positives! Gold star for you ⭐️ 😄 And the holiday will keep you distracted and now you can properly enjoy it 😊
Maybe get dh to hide your thermometer! No temping for you Mrs 😄

6dpo now and it's dragginggggggg! 😫 Not much going on, usual cm, cervix is low and closed (not that I know what that indicates 😆) and a few odd cramps! On the plus side on a recent finger-up-fanjo excursion I did find out my cyst has gone!! So I'm quite pleased about that 😆

We need some more poas soon! Who are our twerkers? (That's tww'ers to the newbies 😉) Xxx

That's rubbish johno :(
At least you can enjoy the holiday to the full now and have a bit of a mental break from this ttc craziness.
When my AF arrived last month on honeymoon (we had this little hope it would just stay away and we'd come home to a bfp) I felt really down. But then I realised I could enjoy the holiday with wine and cheese and was much more positive about it.

Sorry AF turned up johno! It is good you are looking at the positives, hopefully you can try to forget about it whilst you are away. Where are you off to?

I am having a cold turkey cycle. Think I am cd 15. I haven't really been going on my apps that much but pretty sure I ovulate next week! It's been so hard to DTD in this heat though! I am also coming down with a cold of some sort so I'm not happy!

LOL bobo, finger up fanjo excursion - the things you come out with, so funny!! Glad your cyst has gone tho .

I have been prescribed mefenamic acid by my doctor to help with period pains. Has anyone else taken these before?!

Loulabelle good to know about the 72 days although eek! I've been off cerazette 4 weeks today and not even a withdrawal bleed although I feel as if I'm gearing up for a period now... First 2 weeks were pregnancy symptoms with nausea etc, now I have UNBELIEVABLY sore boobs and I'm irritable but that could just be me being a moody cow been on cerazette a year nearly, depo for 3 years before that... Combined pill for 5 years before that, so have had probably 1 or 2 natural cycles since I was 15!

johno booo for af, big yay for holiday, enjoy!!

Sorry af got you johno :( good luck with the cold turkey! I've gone the opposite way as I was just relaxed and only went by ewcm last cycle but now with recent events I have purchased a bbt and got the ovia app so will start that soon. Thanks for asking loula I'm still here lurking ha. I'm still bleeding so no dtd for now. I had my blood test results today and the test yesterday showed a big drop apparently so thankfully no need to go back again. They told me to do a pregnancy test again in 2 weeks and make sure it's negative, if not give them a call. So have to wait until after then really to start ttc again. I'll be asking you all for bbt advice then as I don't have a clue! bobo finger up fanjo excursion 😂 this made me lol alot, good news for you then!

Hello ladies, I've been a bit absent as I thought this month was a bit of a wash out. Not much baby dancing and too busy at work to think about TCC but the compulsion to test took over this afternoon and ...

Congratulations AnnaKate! Great line x

Thanks Lapin It doesn't seem real at the moment! Xx

It's the same for me AnnaKate. Keep checking the test we did to remind myself. We're going to test again on Monday and if the line is strong enough do a clear blue digital. I don't think it will feel real until after a scan or when we tell people. When are you planning to tell your families?

Yes lapin I'd like to do the digital test and actually see the word 'pregnant'! I'm really not sure about telling family. I wanted to ring my mum straight away but refrained. I think after I've seen a doctor we will tell our parents. We are so close it would be hard to keep the secret. What about you?

Huge congrats Anna 🎉🍼🎉 I'll move you to the Preggos section later 😆 Xxx

Congratulations to the bfp ladies :)
We're back from holiday now. Still no af, vomiting and nausea most days but just tested and it's a bfn :( gutted. Will try again with fmu then leave it another week

Congrats Anna xx

Sorry about bfn sparkle 😔 Tbh my lovely I would go to the gp! If your pregnant they can do a blood test and you will known definite but if you're not you need the v&d checked out! It's not good to have it for so long and will really take its toll on your body xxx

Did I do something wrong to not be included on the list?!

Hey booboo I don't think you've posted on here before have you lovely? Normally you post, we all natter about ttc then you get put on the list X

Hi everyone, in on cd24 now and still no ovulation. I'm getting a bit frustrated now because I've been getting almost positive opks that go back to very negative ones the next day on and off for over a week now. The only thing I've done different this month is not take Agnus Castus so I will be back on it next month. Slightly toying with the idea of taking soy isoflavones as I've heard they are good for ovulating earlier but I'm a bit worried about messing up my cycle even more. Has anyone used these before?

Haha Johno I read your last message as 'bobo I don't think you've posted on here before' 😆 I was like errmmmm pretty sure I have been spamming you all with nonsense for quite some time! 😜

Claire that's so frustrating for you!! Just keep molesting your oh and hopefully you'll catch the egg when it finally decides to make an appearance 😉

Sorry boo boo it's just little old me that does the last and I do miss things occasionally! Sometimes I literally have to go back through the pages of posts and take notes just to update the list 😆 I have no life I remember your name though so will get you added to the list when I'm next on my laptop! What cycle and baby number are you on my dear? Xxx
