Bare with me I'm not quite with the abbreviation lingo yet so apologies.
I'm 31, and hoping to be adding to my family asap. I'm on my second month of trying after having my coil removed. I've never really had periods whilst using the coil and unsure about my cycle so we've just been having sex a lot and hoping for the best. I began what I think was my first AF post coil on Friday.
So if anyone is as obsessed with me about ttc and wanting to chat please do. It's hard keeping all this at bay with my friends and family.

The coil was awful for me, I'd never do it again! Dtd lots over fw so Fx x

Eeek dr, everything crossed for you. I've agreed to do a test tomorrow 11DPO. Other half is convinced I'm pregnant which is just making me nervous as I'm not really feeling it. Had cramps every day this week and feel a bit weird but more like PMS.
With my other pregnancies I just knew straight away so I think it'd be the same this time. Also my boob's were already larger by time I tested, they've not grown a mm

Oh I give up, I keep typing long messages just for my phone to freeze and they delete the whole thing! Angry

Nw85 · 21/11/2016 09:59

Grrr how annoying DR.
Well BFN here this am, said if no AF by next Monday I'll test again and if no AF the following Monday I'll go back to the gp :-(

Hi ladies, I'm am about to start TTC DC2 post combined pill. With DS I was pregnant whilst on the pill due to a few missed pills on holiday. I'm having a pill free cycle this month and on it in my next cycle. I think I may be ovulating soonish, had lots of slightly sharp tingly feelings in my right lower abdo/groin area all yesterday, EWCM today. I have tried a few opk which show a faint line but apparently a faint line means nothing... will test again today. I'm CD11 today, pre pill I was a 26-28day cycle.

I would like to be chilled about this but have a feeling I will be neurotic

Hi everyone,

Bit late to the thread, but hoping to join in with you all. Had my mirena coil taken out last week - 17/11/16 and waiting for my period to start. Had light bleeding 2 days after and then thought that my period started yesterday, had cramps and bleeding all day, was pleased (have never wished for my period so much!) but then totally dried up last night and only a tiny bit of a bleed today. Confused as to whether that should be counted as CD1?! Hoping that it starts up again today....
Have bought a fertility monitor which requires me to start using it when I first get my period... So heres to waiting!!!

Nw - did you have the mirena coil? I had it in for about 3 years and no bleeding in that time, I have no idea what my cycles were like, I can't remember and didn't feel the need to be an expert in them back then!!

mrsbarnettsbaby · 22/11/2016 13:49

I had my coil out on 25/07. Bled for 2 days. Had really heavy AF 36 days later. Then had a 67 day cycle with really light AF. Now on cycle 3, cd18. Good luck.

GN06 · 22/11/2016 15:45

Hey Mrs, thank you. I can't (but also can) quite believe how different everyone is! I feel like if I search the internet for long enough I'll find the answer somewhere... Haha.

Mummyme87 · 22/11/2016 16:08

GN06 - This is so true, what a day to my ladies at work.

Must be ovulating.... can bloody feel it. Will do an OPK, probably negative 😖

Largemelons · 22/11/2016 21:38

Hi! Can I join?
I'm TTC number 6 Shock can't believe I'm saying that!
I've been pregnant 9 times, 5 lovely DC.
Two at university, youngest is 5.
I'm pretty sure everyone thinks I'm insane but I'm 37 and feel there's room for just one more.
Had a m/c about 18 months ago, but career put me off trying again. Finally got promotion in the summer and things are going well so have decided to go for it.
We've been using the rhythm method since then and had a few 'fuck it' moments but nothing has happened. This is our first official month and I'm on CD20 although I have short cycles going anywhere from 21-28 days.
I'll give it a few months and try ov sticks if nothing happens I think!

Nw85 · 23/11/2016 17:30

I had a car accident this morning, someone went in the back of me. Went to work and got sent home. Went to the hospital and got checked over. In a bit of pain but can only take paracetamol because of possible pregnancy.
Hi to all new comers, hoping all nice balanced and easy cycles for all. I'm a bit crappy today but have been on and off throughout the month. AF due Friday, tests showing negative so far.

Nw85 oh no! Poor you hun, hope you're ok & feeling better & get some good news on friday to cheer you up x

charley2016 · 23/11/2016 19:10

Oh dear NW hope you're ok! That must have been scary! Glad you are still in with a chance for a BFP though! Really hoping you get some good news at the weekend Smile

Erielle · 23/11/2016 19:19

I'm ttc #1. We had sex about two or three days before ovulation time, so I'm hoping this is my month. He works a lot so having sex daily or even every other day isn't always an option. We've been trying for about three months. I'm hoping for a Christmas surprise on December 14th, which is when I'll be taking a pregnancy test.

Nw85 · 24/11/2016 12:02

So today I got this... the faintest squinter of a line!

nw congratulations! I see it xx

Nw85 · 24/11/2016 14:46

I'm hoping it's not an evap line, since tested with a digital which said not pregnant but was a forced wee. Going test Saturday morning again. Test came up within time limit so I'm hoping get a clearer result Saturday. So confusing these faint lines but they do say a line is a positive

OP posts:
charley2016 · 24/11/2016 18:56

Oh my goodness NW I totally see it too! I don't even think it's that faint! I'm so happy for you Smile

charley2016 · 26/11/2016 18:17

Did you test again NW?

Largemelons · 27/11/2016 19:11

I just got a squinty line too Shock
We've been half heartedly ttc for a few months but this is the first month we made an effort.
I had a bleed yesterday on CD23 then it didn't turn into anything so I took a test today.
I only have short cycles of 22-26 days so I'm around 4 weeks!
Thinking yesterday's wipe was probably implantation or is it too late? I've had 3 miscarriages before so not getting my hopes up too much. I also had a bleed exactly the same with dd4 which was fine.

DrRBannerx · 27/11/2016 19:49

I feel like I'm out this month already! No symptoms at all not even the slightest boob ache! 9dpo here. I could have sworn I felt it all sooner with my other pregnancies!

Largemelons · 27/11/2016 20:36

I've had no symptoms at all Dr!
It's definitely not over yet!

DrRBannerx · 27/11/2016 21:40

largemelons was in the bath when I commented and didn't see your comment! Congrats on the line, are you going to do another with fmu?
And thank you, I'm just not so hopeful this cycle x

Largemelons · 27/11/2016 21:52

Probably not, I'll just see how things go for a few days. Busy week at work and I've done enough of these things to know I'm currently pregnant.
Last February I was pregnant and I got obsessed over lines getting darker etc.. they did but I miscarried at 5 weeks.
I've lost 4 pregnancies but I have 5dc already. The youngest will be 6 when this one arrives, the eldest 21!
When pregnant with my 5th, I'd just had my 4th and had a bleed when af was due. Exactly like I had yesterday. Thought it was just periods settling down until I missed the next one!
I was 8 weeks when I found out which was rather lovely.
No symptoms at all! DD4 is 11 months younger than DD3 😂
They're amazing.
Have you been trying long Dr?
