Welcome to thread 5 my lovelies! You are a chatty bunch

If you are a lurker (we know you are out there) then it's time to jump in and say hi we don't bite...honest

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

Yeah highhopes I read such good reviews about it so took it for about 4 weeks. She just said it wasn't anywhere in her medical training about fertility (she specialises in women's health) and usually only menopausal women take it so she highly advised me against it. I trust her as she's been really good with my testing etc so far, and my AF came and cycle returned to normal the month after I stopped so it worked for me, but everyone's different.

Congratulations moonlight! Wonderful news! Lots of bfps lately so let's hope the positivity continues! 😁 Shame about af luci but at least now you can start to track your cycles better. Good luck!
Well I'm 10dpo ish, but not holding out much hope for a bfp. The same me Is just going to wait and see if af makes an appearance. But the real me is going to test in 2 days time like Ovia is telling me to. Keep the bfps coming ladies. Good luck to you all xxx

I started AC yesterday in the hope that cycle 2 isn't 52 days again and it brings it down. I will stop taking it as soon as I ovulate though.

In the time it took to get my first af I could have had 2 chances at ttc!

How are all the preggos feeling this morning? Any of the symptoms got you yet? X

Thanks everyone :). No symptoms for me yet luci but it's so early. I've decided to be super healthy with diet and lots of (gentle) exercise for the next few weeks until and nausea and fatigue kick in so at least when it does I've got some stores of good food and don't have to worry about eating bland foods/crisps/whatever takes my fancy and sleeping.

Fx tommy, we seem to be on a streak here!

We really do! It's very exciting, gives the rest of us hope!

Quite a few people testing soon!! I have everything crossed for you all 😊

Luci my ovary area has been aching for last two days which I think is just stretching etc 😄 But that's it!

Afternoon everyone. I've been reading all your older posts this morning. Trying to get a feel for everything.

I'm having more lower tummy aches today so it's just a waiting game until AF turns up, certainly feels like it's close. But I'm not going to panic if it doesn't turn up too. As I'm sure these could be symptoms of coming off the pill too.

Off to the cinema soon since my groceries turned up on time this week haha (shock horror they've been late the last 2 weeks so we had to cancel plans) and I had another 2 lbs loss at the gym yesterday. I'm wondering how much exercise I should be doing while TTC and how much to do afterwards?

Hi everyone, I've just popped in to see how you are all getting on and have seen the bfps! Congrats moonlight and bobo such great news!! So happy for you both.

I am 6 weeks pregnant now and have been feeling pretty normal. Just slight cramping and sore boobs but not much else. I think it's fairly normal but doesn't stop me worrying constantly that somethings wrong. I've booked a private scan next week so fingers crossed I will see a heartbeat to put my mind at ease!

Thought I'd check back in to say hello and it's a BFP extravaganza! Congratulations BoBo, Moonlight and MrsCW! So happy for you all! x

So many BFPs - congratulations to all of you! I'll look forward to hearing how you're all getting on!
I'm cd9, had a little bit of ewcm this afternoon so hopefully Ov will happen soon. Lots of dtd this week for us!

How are you getting on Sarah? Xx

Morning everyone. Well first af in 6 years isn't half as bad as I thought it would be. Had cramps and backache most of Saturday but nothing I couldn't handle. Looking forward to a fresh month. Started AC on Saturday too so fx that it's not another long cycle. Will be keeping my eye out for ewcm and signs of ov so we can catch it, hopefully!

Hope the new preggos are doing well, have your gp appointments been booked yet?

Happy Monday x

Hi purple, good to hear from you! Interesting news about the bloods, and glad to hear that pcos has been ruled out! When do you go back for your second test? I'm booking in for some tests in November, so am keeping my fingers crossed for normal results. I took up running over the summer as well, which I hope will help things in the long term. Spent most of last night with awful cramps, so I think I'll soon be moving on to cycle 6! Keep positive lovely, sounds like you're doing really well!

I'm doing well, Seven, thanks! I'm just under 10 weeks now I think. Dating scan is in just over two weeks so I'll have a more accurate due date then. Not been too sick which is good, but I've been really struggling with fatigue. Everyone keeps telling me that should pass around 12 weeks so fingers crossed.

How are you getting on? x

That's good news Luci! I found the AC made my periods virtually pain free so it might be helping you too 😊 I've just booked my dr's appointment for next week 😁

Not long to go now Sarah! You must e so excited!

Who's next to test? I'm sure we had some tww'ers 😊 Fx for all of you!!!!

Wow massive congrats to all the bfps!! Here's hoping this is a lucky thread 😊 I'm 10dpo and caved this morning, bfn of course lol. I can see this ttc business is gonna cost me a small fortune in pregnancy tests!

Great news you got your AF luci I thought I might have joined you this morning.

Sat on the tram on my way to work and I didn't feel right, had cramps all weekend and woke with a bad back today so I thought I was starting my period. Rushed to work and straight to the loo. NOTHING.

I'm beginning to think I'm just going to have cramps for weeks now until it finally comes. And if I still haven't had anything at the end of Oct I'm gonna POAS.

Mouse - I had cramps and backache when I first stopped taking my pill on 31st July. 5 days later I had a bit of spotting and then nothing until now!

Fx crossed its not too long for you! Xx

I'm in cycle 2 off the pill. Cycle 1 was 28 days exactly, all started and ended on the day my app predicted - a dream. For cycle 2 I was due on today and so far nothing, and none of the usual signs I'm due. Time to test or blimmin' hormones playing havoc with my cycles post pill?

Ooooh Kaisha and Mouse you should definitely test because I'm impatient and love some poas action you might be upduffed!!!

I think I'm too nervous, ha. Should I wait until tomorrow morning to see if I a) see af a day late and b) get stronger result if there is a bfp possibility?

Do it do it do it!!! 😁

Hi Mishy I got back for my second test 12th October so that will be interesting, hmmm.
Bless you I do try to keep optimistic these days, think I'd drive myself crazy otherwise
Cramps like AF cramps? Hope they're not too painful. Good job with the running, I'm rubbish at running, I run like a penguin! Fx for your tests too, hopefully they'll be a weight off your mind.

Ooh kaisha and mouse how exciting, get peeing! Fx for you girls!

Kaisha as you are at your af due date you should pick up a positive today but if you want to wait until tomorrow with fmu that's a good idea too test now X
