Ooooh just seen and advert for The Replacement on BBC next Tuesday! Is about a woman at work and what happens after she gets pregnant and is planning her mat leave! Looks good!

Hey everyone, hope you don't mind if I join in?

I'm on my first cycle ttc #1, so new to all of this! I took my last Cerazette on 31 Dec. Had a withdrawal bleed initially but what seemed to be a normal period on 31 Jan, so I'm counting that as CD1. I haven't had periods for many years because of various contraceptives, so not sure when AF is due, but I guess it would be between 28 Feb and 2 March.

Had some very achy cramps pains in my lower abdomen in the last few days, plus feeling tired and emotional... Not sure if I'm symptom spotting or just feeling the usual effects of hormonal changes throughout the month??

I'm trying very hard to resist a FRER test tomorrow!!

Hi everyone,
Jupiter all is fine here. Managed to get my humps in yesterday and this morning aswell so done all I can after surprise ovulation! Opk last night and not as dark a line but will try again later on this afternoon after I've held my wee for a bit longer! Although I'm not sure we'll be cycle buddies now as technically I'm in the tww (again!)

Off out for late lunch this afternoon with DH - can't wait as the food where we're going is soooooo good. Not eaten all day in anticipation!

I've been watching catastrophe on channel4 past two nights. It's hilarious, can't believe I've never seen it before. Think the new season is out next week so glad I've just found it. Love it when you get something new to watch with multiple seasons to binge on!

Welcome penguin!

seven I bloody love catastrophe! Can't wait for the new series!

Welcome Penguin!

I came off the mini pill and it took a good few months for me to get used to all the hormonal changes my body went through, I spent a lot of time thinking I must be pregnant! It gets much easier once you get to know your body's natural rhthym :)

I also had regular periods on the mini pill so apart from one being late a couple months ago they have stayed the same, so you could have ovulated! Good luck, if you're due on 28th your cycle buddies with me and Grumpy

Try not to be too disappointed if it takes a little while for everything to return to normal though :)

Welcome penguin

Think I'll test first thing tomorrow... FMU is preferable right?

I've got a cheapy sainsburys test kicking around after a scare last year!!

Hey Penguin!!

Omg guy guy guys... i got the call... HCG was 243 which is well over the 98 it was meaning bubble is ok!!!!!

Confused!!! Yay! I'm so happy for you!! :)

Are you able to switch your hospitals now?! You must be so relieved. Fingers crossed everything goes well on Monday now!

Wow what a relief confused!!! I am been furiously refreshing the thread all day! Thank God for that! So pleased for you! Go little bubble!!

Hi penguin we are cycle twins! I took last cerazette Boxing Day and got AF 31 Jan which means I'm also on CD23 and AF is due 28 Feb-2march ish. Testing with a FRER Friday morning!

Confused that is bloody amazing news! You're going to have a BABY!

I think glitter is also testing Friday morning so may be 3 of us if you are up for it Penguin?

Ah amazing confused what a lovely rise!! Baby confused here we come!!

Haha don't get too excited this end... not a sniff of a symptom and i was super ill last week! Just a cycle malfuction i'm sure!

Just popped into London for our zika blood test! 💉

hi!! I'm around central London right now just boring work meetings though! Good luck with the Zika test!

Woohooo congrats Confused!! Baby time!!

Welcome Penguin, i'm an ex Cerelle user. Sounds like a drug rehab confession doesn't it?

Good luck for bloods Hb

Thank you for all the welcomes!! grumpy, sounds great to do a test at the same time - can't wait til Friday morning!!

Great news Confused, congratulations!! X

Yes to testing! The other week when confused was testing, it actually made me wake up instead of going back to sleep cause I couldn't wait to see! 😂 God I'm so sad

OPK help!!

I am CD13.
I started OPK's CD7 (keen). CD7 & 8 were paperwhite.
CD9-12 were very faint.
CD13 is paperwhite.

No way i could have ovulated & missed the surge this early is there?! If so, i'm out this cycle, been way too busy to DTD until this morning I have no idea how long this cycle will be due to the stupid confused mess Cerelle left my reproductive system in!

Red I had the same I never got a real positive .. I hope we just missed it rather than it being we are not ovulating due to stupid cerazette!

Oh and I got darker lines CD13-15 but never positive .. I read those cassanovum tests are not sensitive enough for many people

I am actually CD14 (whoops)

So it was:
I am CD13.
I started OPK's CD7 (keen). CD7 & 8 were paperwhite.
CD9-13 were very faint.
CD14 is paperwhite.

So i could have missed it then?! I never had anywhere close to a positive and i was doing 2 a day from CD9. Very very faint lines.

I use one step, they the same sensitivity? Surely i wouldnt have ovulated and have it done & dusted & back to paperwhite by CD14? clinging to hope
