I had light brown spotting last night and thought it may have been ovulation as i was 11dpo but nope. AF arrived early this morning! Hopefully May will be my the lucky month!

scruffmacduff · 05/05/2017 07:38

How is everybody doing?

Cd29 here, no sign of af yet Hmm daring to get my hopes up ever so slightly...

PandaCat · 05/05/2017 07:47

Fx for you!

I'm out! AF turned up this morning right on time! I knew it. Ahh well!

HansSolo22 · 05/05/2017 08:41

Hang in there scruff this could be your lucky month!!

panda sorry to hear that. I woke up today with that familiar crampy feeling so I'm pretty sure I'll be out by the end of the day too. Boooo

Good luck to everyone still waiting!!

PandaCat · 05/05/2017 09:06

Aww boo!

At least I know the difference between an evap and a faint line now, and it also means no possible December baby if it came early! Just thinking of the possitives aha.

pocketfullofsunshine · 05/05/2017 10:00

Sorry ladies! Too many to posts to keep up with. So now 9 days late, still no AF and all tests are showing BFN's.
Checked my temp for the first time ever and it was 36.50 and i read that was normal so i guess I'm out for April! Waiting for AF so i can try again. Dont want to be on while im on holiday though so need to be on and finished by 20th!

InsideOutUpsideDown · 05/05/2017 12:31

Hi ladies wondering if you could help, you all seem to know what youre talking about. Im having a right mare of it,i came off the pill in jan, had my withdrawel bleed then a 28day cycle. Only on it about six months so thought yay. Next cycle was 51days, with a really painful ov (not using opk but the signs were there) i was 21days late by the time a light af arrived. it was shit i can tell ya, weeks of bloating, cramps, crazy sore nipples, and boobs of emotional melt downs lol. Three day af then off again. Signs of ov began at cd11 this month, so thought id regulated, then cd 15 i start bleeding, only light but slightly heavier than spotting, two days later and its stopped start stop start..arrrggghh , wtf now dont know if im cd17 or cd3, ffs the pill is the devil lol. Feel shit and cant stop crying, im so emotional.

scruffmacduff · 05/05/2017 14:33

Hi InsideOut that sounds tough for you Flowers
I've not been on the pill for a long time but I'm sure someone on here will have some advice.

Perhaps it takes a while for it to leave your system and affects people differently? Sorry you are going through this x

scruffmacduff · 05/05/2017 15:26

Spotting pink - think AF is here.
Well, next cycle just round the corner! Let's get on with it Smile

ForeverHopeful21 · 05/05/2017 16:09

InsideOut I'm sure others on here will know more than I do, but I just wanted to let you know (in case you didn't already) that it can take around 6 months (if not sometimes longer) for your body to regulate after being on the pill.
Do you currently take any pre-conception vitamins? Apparently they can help to get things in order.
If you have concerns though, you should see your GP so that you're not worrying. x

Mayesdanni25 · 05/05/2017 16:37

Can anyone tell me if it looks like I've ovulated please?

Hoping for a BFP in May
ForeverHopeful21 · 05/05/2017 17:14

DontBuyANewMumCashmere Good luck for tomorrow. Keeping my fx for you! x

HansSolo22 · 05/05/2017 17:58

My AF arrived this afternoon and I'm so much more upset than I thought I'd be. It's just brought back of the feelings of sadness for my MC in January and I feel heartbroken all over again. I really thought this month was my lucky month :-(

InsideOutUpsideDown · 05/05/2017 18:08

Ah im sorry hans, treat yourself to something and have a nice pamper weekend, hopefully this month will be your lucky month. Im sorry about your mc, it must be so upsetting, i suppose the one good thing is you know your body is getting into a regulated cycle again so take the time to grieve and be upset then move forward knowing each af brings you one step closer to a bfp

robinhoodswife · 05/05/2017 19:17

Hi ladies great to catch up on all your news good and not so good Sad

Am 11dpo and tested BFN with a FRER today, but keeping up hope since I don't feel like I'm about to get AF! Symptoms might not be anything at all, BBs still sore and feeling pretty tired. Fx DontBuyANewMumCashmere and all you May ladies waiting for BFps xx

scruffmacduff · 05/05/2017 20:10

Hans hugs for you, agree with InsideOut do some pampering this weekend FlowersBrew

HansSolo22 · 05/05/2017 20:54

Thanks guys, I felt awful earlier but doing much better now. Must try to stay positive rather than get upset about things. It really helps to be able to talk so openly here, I think I'd drive my husband mad if I went on to him constantly about all this stuff!! Thanks ladies, I really appreciate your support Smile

InsideOutUpsideDown · 06/05/2017 00:25

Glad youre feeling better hans, af seems to have stopped for tonight and after a few vinos im off to bed, kind of done wondering wtf my ovaries are done for one day.

scruffmacduff · 06/05/2017 06:58

AF arrived here this morning ladies! So I'm out this month.
On the plus side, onto the new cycle now Smile
Might have a wee Wine this evening!

Who is still in for this month? X

PhoenixMama · 06/05/2017 07:52

I'm still in. But mostly cuz I haven't had my iui yet lol. Fly next sat & procedure is next sat or Sun!

ImoAsta · 06/05/2017 08:28

Sorry to all those who's AFs arrived Sad
Stay positive ladies and have a big glass of Wine

I'm still in but not even in my fertile week yet! AF not due until 26th so there's quite a way to do and quite a lot of BD'ing to do.

How is everyone feeling this morning?
Xx

ForeverHopeful21 · 06/05/2017 08:33

I'm 6 dpo. Had a tiny tiny bit of brown spotting on toilet paper yesterday which has never happened before. Trying not to read too much in to it though.
I'll be testing in 8 days (hopefully!). Sorry to those, who AF has arrived x

scruffmacduff · 06/05/2017 09:25

Good luck guys! Got my fingers crossed for you xx

pocketfullofsunshine · 06/05/2017 10:18

FX for everyone who is still in.
Sorry to hear hans but like insideout said, at least you know your body is getting back to normal?
This is my 2nd cycle of ttc and im 10 days late. All tests are BFN so think i ovulated later. I came off bc in December and last month was late 15 days so dont think im regulat yet. Took temp for 2days which are saying 36.50 and 36.51 so i guess thats normal?

scruffmacduff · 06/05/2017 10:28

Okay, I thought AF had arrived but now not sure....had mild cramps during the night and a little smear of pink this morning but nothing since. Now on CD 30, but I have a 26 day cycle and it's very regular.
Hoping I haven't stressed myself out and made my cycle longer this month!!
