Laura it took 35 days after coming off Cerelle for my AF to show up but everyone is different and red and others have had a much longer wait. I would come off now and use protection as others have suggested

Congrats parsnips , lovely to know our bodies remember how to work after being confused by BC for so long!

Ouch grumpy hope you survive the day!

Yay parsnips! Great news :)

Jupiter, you're right, Ovia knows nothing so is probably wrong about your cm too!

Deffo coming off at the end of this packet. OH decided to guilt trip me and said 'I told you to come off in January' which is complete bs 😂 I am coming off at the end of this packet only 3 more days to go 🎉 I actually think I'll be happy to see some blood for once. 3 years without any blood is lovely but I do spend every month wishing something would come out just so I know what's going on inside haha. Fx it all works out.

How's the head this morn grumpy? Feeling fragile..that's the exact reason I don't drink on a school night..unless somebody has seriously pissed me off at work haha!?

Haha grumpy McDonald's breakfast is the only answer in these situations!!

Haha omg just spent half an hour catching up! I do love this thread! I had to make notes as I went so I could remember stuff I wanted to say...

Red i was thinking. There was a lady on the post pill thread who had a tough time coming off the pill and used to have multiple LH surges she's dropped off now I think after a mc but her body would gear up to ovulate, not quite manage it then try again a few weeks later. So it could be that your body is very confused post pill. It took me 92 days before I got my first AF (granted I had a withdrawal bleed but was on a different pill so i did have a monthly bleed anyway)...It's absolutely rubbish because you just want to know where you're up to but try not to worry as she'll be along soon. I absolutely think you should go and see your doctor, I had made the appointment and then AF showed up! They will be able to reassure you I think xxx

Buzz I keep going to say things and then you keep saying them. You are officially my thread twin. I was also going to recommend Santa Clarita diet to Mrs C - just finished it, it's funny, gross and easy to watch.

Grumpy haha on the wine! Well done for getting over that hump with the weight loss! x

So I don't think I will be testing after getting some FR in yesterday just in case, due to sods law I think AF is on her way because of brown spotting this morning. But trying to think positively, if she does start today that will mean this has been 36 day cycle which means they are still going in the right direction and getting shorter, gives me more time to loose weight, I have an extra month to save in the baby fund, etc etc
I almost caved and tested yesterday - took the test into the bathroom with me then decided not to be so stupid and didn't take it in the end. Glad I didn't now :)

Just updated the list with the new people, again let me know anything I've got wrong or forgotten or that needs changing xx

Feeling decidedly un-pregnant over here too jupiter ! One more week left in 2ww but I just feel pretty sure it's not this time.

Oh glad to hear I am not the only one who has developed a slightly unhealthy One Born Every Minute fascination. I think I need to stop watching it! Got my head into a right state thinking how young all the mums were and I have left it so long to have a baby... I've got to dial back the crazy and RELAX

Poo - *Laura's wedding is in June - sorry typo

Here goes my post list spam again.

Dancing meant to ask - how are you getting on? xx

Haha no worries seven I think everybody knows when my wedding is ive spoken about it that much 😩 decided to come off pill in Feb instead so here goes!!

Well done on the list seven and I'm gonna give the santa clarita diet a go as soon as I have wrapped up Jane the virgin! I hope AF really isn't on the way
orange I always think everybody is young on one born too, I think over here as well people do marriage and kids much later than in the UK!

Oh my god I hate one born every minute!! It's a midwives worst nightmare 🙈😂 so poorly edited, not realistic, gives people wierd ideas about giving birth and often scares the shit out of people, plus they rarely show anything that isn't a woman lying on her back screaming.

So I still got flashing smiley face on CB OPK but I have lots of ovulation pain today 🤔 Will test again tonight

Just had a chat with one of our consultants at work who specialises in infection. Advised me to do a private GBS test in view of DS having meningitis at birth and what my placenta grew when tested. Really wouldn't have done that but when advised by the top dog...

What's a gbs test mummy? Forgive my ignorance! Hope you get your peak soon!

Hey ladies thanks for all the well wishes I am ok after a fried breakfast, lots of cola and crisps.. looking forward to not drinking for 9 months actually!!

I'm suddenly excited again for TTC .. I'm CD10 and Ovia has assumed a 35 day cycle for me but I think that's because it took that long from when I started entering data for AF to show. I think my cycles used to be around 30 days, who knows how long this one will be.. anyway it's possible that I'm already in fertile window - if I were to ovulate on CD15 rather than CD18 as Ovia predicts. I will be doing another OPK tonight!

Sorry actually I got that wrong. Ovia is assuming 30 day cycles but is giving me fertile window from CD14-19, I'm currently CD10. So I think the fertile window might actually be earlier, depending when I end up ovulating. Going to try to DTD tonight anyway!

mrsC GBS is group B strep. It's a common vaginal infection which generally causes no problems but can be passed on to baby during birth.

grumpy we are sort of cycle twins I am cd 6 but same FW at least according to ovia! Good luck tonight!!

Oh yes mummy I have heard of that from pregnancy number 1 just unsure of abbreviation!

Hey ladies!
Massively busy so just a flying visit....

Drum roll please....

I GOT AF!! I GOT AF!!! I GOT AF!! I GOT AF!!!

The witch arrived an hour ago after a morning of cramping

I'm super busy..but doing other peoples work unfortunately. I don't get paid enough for this shit.. 😤

But omg red..big congrats to you!! 🎉

Yay for AF red!!

Yay red I am so happy for you!!! Hope it's not too painful

Yay red!!!
I got mine too but not painful so it's OK and I had a screaming hot bath and having wine tonight so not bad at all!

On with cycle 5!! Going to go super fertility foodie this month I think. I ran 1 min there and back to the corner shop today for milk... Does that count as exercise? I only ran cos it was cold and I wanted tea ☕

Omg so THIS is what they mean by "the pill suppresses libido" .. I never noticed that much as been on it so long .. I haven't felt like this in YEARS! I feel like a teenager and I'm noticing all the hot men in the world not gonna feel guilty just gonna go home and take it out on DH! Maybe fertile window is imminent!

Hahahahaha grumpy go at it like rabbits! Teenage rabbits!! 😂😂😂
