We've had a bit of a bfp success streak so let's continue that on into thread 5!!

I'm totally clueless as to when I can rely on negative tests/when I should test again. I'm just hoping I either get AF soon or my POAS habit provides a BFP Grin Hmm

Tommygirl10 · 08/11/2016 20:49

Well ladies, I'm slowly going crazy. I have been having some brown discharge once every day since Friday. I'm waiting for AF to make an appearance. Ive never had it before, and I'm waiting for cycle 7. Been off the pill since February. Has anyone got any ideas what or why I could be getting this? I've tested and negative and given up all hope of a bfp x

Mummyme87 · 09/11/2016 10:27

So I've stopped taking the combined pill as of yesterday, will await my withdrawal bleed which normally comes after 3-4days. Not planning on TTC this month, have got ovulation sticks to see if I ovulate in a Few weeks time

MouseLove · 09/11/2016 23:03

AF is pretty much gone now and it was a day more than what I usually had. All together no real cramps (yay) and quite light with only two days of medium flow.

I'm going to try OPK this cycle to see if I'm actually ovulating. I'm not sure I actually did last cycle.

Has anyone ever taken OPK in hand luggage when flying? I'm thinking of leaving the thermometer at home but taking OPK with me as I'll be CD13-16 while we're in Rome and I don't want to miss it. Also how do you travel with vitamins? I don't fancy taking the whole pot but then realise that 3 loose vitamins looks totally dodgy!! We don't have hold luggage.

pebble82 · 09/11/2016 23:25

OMG OMG!! I think AF is finally here CD53. Doing a little happy dance :)

Mouse I'm quite amazed at how similar our bodies are!

Shoney85 · 10/11/2016 06:20

Morning just catching up, welcome to all new members and congratulations Tata on the BFP.

I got my 12 week scan two weeks ago and the put me forward a week. So today I'm 14+5. Still suffering really bad with nausea and at nights is my worse time where I get sick. Do feel my energy slowly coming back but hopefully all the ickyness will go do it so I keep being told lol I'm due may 6th.

Just wanted to update you guys. A massive good luck on your own journeys xxx

MouseLove · 10/11/2016 08:32

Pebble yay!!!!!! You beat me though I only got to CD50. Lol. I hope we both have regular cycles going forward. X

Shoney what a lovely scan pic. Grin

bassetmum · 10/11/2016 08:52

Shoney what a lovely scan. Wishing you a h&h rest!of your pregnancy.

Glad your af wasn't too horrific mouse. No idea about opks on planes but I can't see how there could be a problem with them.

I think today might be ovulation day for me. Ive got mild cramps and slightly sharper pain moving from one side to the other (bit odd unless both ovaries are planning on releasing this month!). I'm also feeling rather wet, TMI sorry. Cd13/14 so bang on time I think. I will keep dtd tonight and again Saturday just in case.

pebble82 · 10/11/2016 22:23

I'm now stressing because 10-20 days ago when I had ewcm we were dtd at the right time, I would have ovulated then. So it just didn't work 😢

MouseLove · 11/11/2016 07:44

Pebbles honestly don't stress. The same thing happened to me. I don't think I ovulated. I think my body tried but didn't actually ovulate. I had two times of EWCM and so I know it was probably something else. One lady here mentioned a mucus plus post pill. Your body will be all over the place post pill so don't be too disheartened it didn't happen first cycle. Really this new cycle is your first real one anyways. Sending Flowers

Seven0fNine · 11/11/2016 09:05

Welcome to the newbies xxx
Shoney that scan is amazing I can't believe how quick it's going. I'm so pleased for all our preggos. We'll have a post pill creche before we know it xx

I'm on cd26 of cycle 2 and feeling really bloated and my boobs feel heavier....No idea if I ov'd or not or at a sensible time or if I'm in for another long cycle. Don't really want to get pregnant until after Christmas though so not dtd too much.

HighHopes16 · 11/11/2016 16:53

Just came on to say I was thinking about you BoBo, Haven't heard from you for a while. Flowers

LuciBee231015 · 13/11/2016 18:56

Hey everyone, how are you all doing? Anyone in the 2ww or due to test? I keep dipping in to keep up with you all.

BoBo, been thinking of you lady, hope you are coping x

Tommygirl10 · 13/11/2016 19:33

Hi Luci,
I'm still waiting on AF to start taking AC. I'm currently 4 days late...
how's early pregnancy treating you? X

LuciBee231015 · 13/11/2016 22:02

Hi Tommy, hopefully af will show soon! Have you tested being late?
AC was amazing for me, hopefully will be for you too! 2 tabs every morning 👍🏻

I've been ok really, sore boobs, and morning sickness kicked in on Wednesday, had it every day since then. Still really nervous as still so early. I'm currently 7+1 and I've booked an early scan for Sunday when I will be 8+1.

Mouse, how you getting on?

Tommygirl10 · 13/11/2016 22:17

Yes I've tested and got BFN. Had some brown discharge first thing every morning for a few days, which I've never had before but not really sure what it means. Had nothing today though. Wondering whether to see gp but will probably be turned away without explanation.
Early pregnancy symptoms sound strong...unfortunately for you. I bet next Sunday can't come quick enough for you x

MouseLove · 13/11/2016 23:18

Great thanks Luci just plodding on. I'm going to start using OPK tomorrow when I'll be CD10. Rome on Thursday and I really really hope I ovulate.

Hope you had a lovely weekend!!

BoBo90 · 14/11/2016 17:33

Huge congrats to Tata Grin

Highhopes and Luci thanks for thinking of me lovelies! I hope you are both doing well Smile

I am now on Cd 20 - no sign of ov yet and I'm getting a bit down about everything. It's been rough but I was ready to start again and looking forward to all the poas Wink (you know how I love a bit of poas action) and seeing that bfp again but instead I'm stuck here waiting for ov! Thank you stupid body and annoying long cycles Angry

I did read through the last few pages but totally forgotten everything that was said Confused I've been away too long!

Good luck anyone in tww! Sorry for those with af Flowers and hold in there ladies in limbo!

Bobo is back peopleeeeeee Grin

MouseLove · 14/11/2016 20:06

Bobo glad to see you. (Well kinda) I'm sorry you're back with us lot again. Sorry you're waiting for ov, might take a few cycles to get back to normal, keep smiling I'm sure you'll be back with a BFP really soon!!

I can't edit the spreadsheet btw, only view.

Tommygirl10 · 14/11/2016 20:58

Good to hear from you Bobo! Sounds like fighting spirit and I have no doubt you will get your BFP very soon. In the mean time, enjoy plenty of poas action 😉 Xx

julez12 · 14/11/2016 21:35

joining, 2yrs on cerelle mini pill, finshed pack on 29/10/16. no bleed as yet.
noticed ewcm when i went for a pee & wiped on fri, i didn't notice it again after, would you think thats a possible ovulation sign 2wks after stopping mini pill? dtd the last 3 days. yday & today cervix has felt quite low, open & soft? been having a heavy need to pee pressure today & yday, right side front pelvic aches & lower back aches. i know it could be the pill stopping & that af on its way tho

MouseLove · 15/11/2016 13:31

I'll be honest Julez your complaints sound EXACTLY the same as I experienced coming off the pill. FX it's not that and was actually ov pains. And FX you don't have a silly long cycle like I did coming off cerelle (50 days)

I think I just got my first sniff of a second line on an OPK. CD11 today so looking good. Really hope I ovulate this cycle!!!

Hmm Maybe I need a different link for the spreadsheet!
Try this one:
Spreadsheet - edit me

My body is being a bitch! lines start appearing on opks and then go faint again... bit of ewcm yesterday but gone today! I wish it would make up its mind what it wants to do

OP posts:
Seven0fNine · 16/11/2016 16:25

Aww yay BoBo I'm so glad you're back! It's been quiet without you! And welcome to julez!

I haven't noticed any ewcm yet but I haven't ventured too far up my foof... Am I missing out? Haha

CD31 here and no sign of AF. Gonna test on Friday just in case but I know I'm not preggers. Just hope this cycle is shorter than the last 94 day whopper.
How's the opk today mouse? X

julez12 · 16/11/2016 16:47

18days post mini pill cerelle, just taken this opk, would you ladies think it could be ovulation on its way? been having cramps & lower backache etc and thought it was potentially af en route
