How many DPO are you carmen? I can't see anything sorry, but it sounds like it could be too early so don't get too down!

Babycarmen · 02/02/2017 09:32

10/11 I think but I'm not sure. Af should be due on Saturday. It's wishful thinking. Pretty sure I'm gonna be out for this month.

MissMagpie · 02/02/2017 09:32

Just checking in to say hi!
I am CD9 and awaiting my fertile week. Got a low fertility on my CB opk today so at least a few more days for me.

Fingers crossed to everyone waiting for their BFP (hopefully not AF). I hate the 2ww or however long it turns out to be. It's so all consuming isn't it? Loving your posts though - you make me giggle! And it's good to see I am not the only slightly crazy symptom spotter out there!!

Babycarmen · 02/02/2017 09:43

Another one

I think I can see something there on that picture carmen - eek!! Fx!

Walikingdeadfan · 02/02/2017 11:00

I also think I see a faint line Carmen -fx.

I am 10/11 dpo, trying to keep busy and not obsess but its not working!

Glitterbubble · 02/02/2017 11:24

Sorry Af got you hhazFlowers

Not a lot to report here... 5dpo ...no symptoms noticed really... but making the effort not to symptom spot.

Maybe I've had a couple of dizzy spells?? ..I question it because it feels more like I'm completely out of it for a few seconds and then back to normal Envy

Been struggling to post the last couple of days as been so busy not had time to catch up on the thread during the day, so waiting until bedtime and falling asleep with phone in hand ConfusedBlush

Good luck everyone due to test this weekendGrin

Redpony1 · 02/02/2017 11:41

Glitter i am 6dpo and been feeling a little light headed yest/today day time. Still managed a 6 mile run last night without issue though. Today my breasts are noticeably tender.
However, my body & symptoms have been all over the place since stopping Cerelle in Dec!

Been ttc for 8 months. Can I ask has anyone else come off of rigivideon and took ages to conceive?

MistyBxx · 02/02/2017 12:26

wishful I stopped rigividon (it's the new microgynon isn't it) end of Aug I took my last pill, had regular cycles 28-31 days ever since and been actively ttc since Nov and nothing so far 😔 I'm cd29 and cramping badly today (af due today according to Clue or Sunday according to Ovia) and tbh, I've only had one definite positive opk since I've been testing (mind you, I've been reading my opks wrong and thinking 3 lines automatically mean a positive when it's actually 2 lines identical in colour which mean positive, as we produce LH all through our cycles and it was only by accident this cycle I tested and noticed 2 lines were much darker than normal that I realised that was a true positive!) but would be interesting to find out if anyone else has taken a long time off this particular pill xx

MistyBxx · 02/02/2017 12:27

2 lines not 3 lol 🙈

Mangoonmyshoulder · 02/02/2017 12:44

AF got me too Sad only first month TTC though so too much to hope for really. Good luck everyone else.

wishfulthinking21 · 02/02/2017 13:12

Misty I have seen loads recently online about rigiviedon and the struggles folk have after coming off it so would be very interesting to know what it's been like for others. I'm into month 9 now. Had a positive opk most months but still nothing happening. Going to log the next few months n see what happens before going to docs xx

MistyBxx · 02/02/2017 13:24

Oh I didn't know that wishful. I kind of want to look into that on google but I'm a bit scared of what I will find. I'm 32, 33 in November and ttc #1 so I don't want to mess around lol Feb will be month 6 for me off pill, but only been tracking, testing and timing dtd since Nov 😑

harrypotternerd · 02/02/2017 13:27

i was symptom spotting not thinking about ttc at all today and noticed the following:
sore boobs (to the point where it was actually bothering me not just twinges)
frequent urination
dizziness
insomnia
hungry a lot more

wishfulthinking21 · 02/02/2017 13:46

MistyB I'm in the exact same place as you. 32 now 33 in September. First time ttc. Hubby already has a wee boy so it's frustrating the both of us xx

FrutiFlutey · 02/02/2017 13:57

Just made the decision to try and conceive yesterday!

I'm nervous, ds is 5 so we really don't want him much older before baby arrives! Came off pill today and we will see how this goes!

Motherhippy16 · 02/02/2017 14:21

Hi all...this ttc is a nightmare! Entering start of fw on Sat so dh and I are going to go for it. Am super broke so can't afford opks but think I'm going to start using them next month If no luck in Feb. Good luck to all and sorry for the afs...she has a bloody lot to answer for! X

Glitterbubble · 02/02/2017 14:29

Yes red pony I feel very similar... and went for a swim at gym without issue last night, not been on the pill for years, so don't have that issue... hopefully it's the beginning of something for us! Smile

MistyBxx · 02/02/2017 14:35

Mother hippy I get my opk from Poundland lol £1 for a pack of 5 strips! They may not be the best out there and I did misread them this month but that was more user-error than anything lol I confused the lines but the lines were very much there 😂
Lil update:
My af cramps are still super strong, they're not really cramps tbh, more like one long constant cramp lol running to toilet every ten mins convinced its gonna be there with the next wipe but not a smudge yet. It's DEFO on it's way though, this is more than the "light" cramping they suggest for pg cramps, this is full on pms pain, feel like curling up in bed but stuck at my desk in work 😖x

Motherhippy16 · 02/02/2017 14:39

www.parenting.com/article/what-eat-conceive

I found this today and I don't know if it will be of any use to anyone but this has helped me to see what my body needs. I am actually a vegan but I can have tofu substitutes etc but I like the way that it breaks it down. I think what the hell if I'm feeding my body the right foods then maybe my uterus might be on my side this month! X

Motherhippy16 · 02/02/2017 14:42

Mistyb thanks for that! When I'm in the 2ww it feels as though it's one long cramp and it's horrible! Been so much worse since I've been off the pill. Would so love anew autumn baby as well as it will be mine and dh 1st anniversary end of October.. perfect present (sigh) x

MistyBxx · 02/02/2017 14:48

Me too, that's why I've been symptom spotting so much coz I'm not used to all these pms symptoms, especially when they start at 5dpo lol for 15 years I've had 24 hours of weak tummy pain before a light period... nowadays, pill free, I'm having symptoms every day for about 9 days before the actual af lands!! So confusing... and uncomfortable 😣
Just wanna get this af over so I can start again! Would love to be pg by sept myself, mine and hubs 1st anniversary 😍
