Spotting and some cramps here. Could mean 1 of 2 things. See if it tapers off or not by the morning... Sad

Tinkerbell2319 · 03/12/2016 20:16

Bows woohoo get on it!

Maybe the blank white is the worst but still early days you never know :)

Fingers crossed ohb0llocks

Feeling a bit nauseous but post BFN this morning am not optimistic and my body seems to just be on a mad one today anyway so trying to ignore it lol

blackcherries · 03/12/2016 21:53

AF been threatening to come for 3 days now (due today) but not quite here yet. Fed up of cramping, it doesn't hurt but makes me constantly think of ttc.

Jellybabie3 · 03/12/2016 23:47

Wierd stuff going on for me atm. Bleeding after sex during the time i suspected i was ov last weekend (although a day after period ended...) wierd sensation on left side ever since. Dtd alot through that weekend. Today i have cramps and pain down there as well as some nausea. Pain is almost like UTI? No bleeding though. I guess this is the fun of coming off the pill!!

jellybabie it's worth getting checked out by your doc if you're a little worried, it's best to get a UTI treated quickly if that's what it is.

Af is here Sad

Puts my cycle down to 24 days... meaning I'll be due to test 27th/28th

Jellybabie3 · 04/12/2016 10:30

Think its AF coming. Cd 18 Sad

Jellybabie3 · 04/12/2016 10:49

Blackcherries has AF started yet?

powerpuffer · 04/12/2016 12:02

I'm out. AF got me last night whilst out with friends for drinks. I made the decision to drive so I wouldn't drink as I was unsure of what was going on with my symptoms and within an hour I went to the loo and AF had arrived. Great timing as all I wanted to do was have a drink to commiserate and couldn't. Urgh.

Still, I'm remaining on the December bus as I'm due AF on 31st - so NYE could be pretty special for me convincing myself to be optimistic

Ohb0llocks · 04/12/2016 12:11

Power me too! Fingers crossed.

powerpuffer · 04/12/2016 12:29

ohb0llocks I have a feeling that we will be lucky together this time. This thread needs more BFPs so we can finish it in style.

New stats:
TTC #1
Cycle 3
CD2
Due AF 31st Dec, will try and hold off testing but I know I will POAS from about 9dpo - around 27th Dec onwards Blush

Ohb0llocks · 04/12/2016 12:34

Hope so power.

My plan is just to have sex with DP every other/every third day. Can't see him complaining...

Ohb0llocks · 04/12/2016 12:35

New stats here

TTC #2
Cycle 2
CD1
Due AF 27-31st Dec.

blackcherries · 04/12/2016 12:44

Jellybabie not properly yet, a few tiny flecks. Will test tomorrow a.m. if nothing by then just to make sure, as would like to know if/when I'll be doing my HSG...

Jellybabie3 · 04/12/2016 13:42

Aargh im cramping good and proper now. AF not arrived yet though. Completely stuffs predicting next AF. Had 21 days between ending pill and AF and now 18 if arriving today. I know i need to be patient as im fresh off the pill but like everyone else it would have been amazing to get good news before christmas. I guess i am out until 2017 Xmas Sad
Blackcherries, fingers crossed you get answers in next 24hours x

blackcherries · 04/12/2016 13:50

Thanks. Apparently pill can affect your cycles for several months after coming off it - it did me, wish I'd known as I came off for one cycle without ttc then started properly, but should have stopped earlier! Had other things going on though!

If AF arrived yesterday I'd have definitely had time for one more shot at the December bus but now I'm not sure what's going on. Comparing everything to symptoms of my last pregnancy and they're very definitely AF symptoms and a complete lack of any other symptoms.

Jellybabie3 · 04/12/2016 13:55

Ah thats rubbish, sorry. Guess we have to tell ourselves new year, new start n all.... Hmm

Yeah i have been warned about how long it can take to get back to normal with pill. I was like you, not in the right place to come off sooner, if by any chance i did fall pregnant straight away. Its all so difficult to predict. I guess i get to drink over Christmas though Wine

MissMagpie · 04/12/2016 14:35

Congratulations mrsg on the BFP.

To everyone on the 2ww, fingers crossed. The waiting is just too awful. I fully empathise.

I am cd10 of my horribly long cycles. Have started using the Ovia app which is quite fun at the moment and have ramped up the conception vitamins. However a boozy Christmas night out last night probably won't have helped.

DH is getting his swimmers tested this week as he has poor sperm morphology. It didn't stop us conceiving my son but knowledge is power so we want to see if it's still an issue.

janiPop · 04/12/2016 15:18

Looks like there'll be quite a few of us testing towards the end of December. Fx we can ring in the new year with BFPs Grin

I'm going to use opk this cycle and start taking low dose aspirin.

Stats-

Ttc 2
Cycle 3
CD 4
AF due 29/12

Lovechild2016 · 04/12/2016 15:38

Sorry for everyone's AF and post pill strange cycles. I'm the same coming off the pill and having weird cycles. I couldn't have come off sooner though as didn't know when I'd be ready, until I was ready... If that even makes any sense! Anyway my new stats are:
Ttc#1
Age 32
Cycle 3
Cd 2
Cycle length.. Who knows
Due to test: 30/12 (unless the witch arrives sooner!)

I've also downloaded ovia and going to buy opk.

crusading · 04/12/2016 18:29

I am out too Angry naughty witch she has clearly been busy this weekend!!!
Think I will try and test the last day of the month or may wait till 2017 to avoid the curse of 2016 fingers crossed.
And good luck to everyone in the 2ww Flowers

DichotoMous · 04/12/2016 19:26

CD21/ 6DPO here. I've been having mild cramps and twinges all day but then I had similar during my last TWW which was (obviously) not successful! AF due Saturday. Hope everyone's doing well x

MotherofUnicorns · 04/12/2016 19:53

CD21 here, literally no symptoms at all of anything! I won't test until Sunday if by the slightest chance AF has stayed away that long! Not sure exactly when i ovulated but i am possibly 9dpo and normally have 14day luteal phase maximum, sometimes as short as 11 so i reckon i will know by Friday.....
focussing on the fact that I will be able to drink over xmas if it hasn't happened this month.
Great that lots of you are getting 2 go's on the December bus - bonus!
