I'm nervous/excited Grin

AF due anywhere between Tuesday and Friday.. All being well and she doesn't show, I'll probably test next Saturday or Sunday.

Anyone else counting down the next week?

Hi all!

Sorry for my lack of comments, have had a busy weekend! Will check in properly with you all tomorrow Smile

Good luck for those who are due to test! 🤞🏻 I'm looking forward to AF finishing now so I can get back to it my OH doesn't know what he's in for Grin

I'm a bit concerned about my lack of AF so far Sad

I was in the pill for about 3-4 years. Then off it for about 18 months. Then back on it for about 18 months, off it for maybe 3-6 months and have been on it 3.5 years before stopping last month. Had withdrawal and been awaiting first proper period which, thus far, is just spotting! Started Friday eve and am slightly tender today but nothing else. Half the reason I went back on it 3.5 years ago was periods of hell, could barely walk and was doubled over almost all the time during a seven day bleed. Waiting for it to catch me off guard when I am unprepared but the lightness is definitely not what I was expecting.

Anyone else had similar? Seems weird that it's so light off the pill, was still pretty rough on it...

Good luck to anyone still 'in' Smile

Florence16 · 24/07/2017 15:50

So glad I posted my moan. AF DEFINITELY here now 😂

murree · 24/07/2017 16:09

That's sods law Florence!
Well i'm defiantly getting more crampy today to I'm pretty certain that AF will be here by tomorrow...better luck next time i guess!

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 25/07/2017 08:09

Well that solves that one Florence, I think you answered your own question 😀 Good luck for next month.
Has AF arrived murree?!
I'm due AF today so we will see what happens xx

BabiesOnTheBrain1 · 25/07/2017 08:18

Good look to you both murree and Littlemiss! Feeling positive?

Well my period has almost finished, and I'm quite excited for cycle 2 Smile I do hope we all stay on this thread ready for us all testing (fingers crossed) this month!

Thank you babies. I did ovulate about 3-4 days later this month so I'm not sure if that will affect my cycle length? Usually I'm 31 days every cycle xx

BabiesOnTheBrain1 · 25/07/2017 13:18

Hmm I'm not sure Littlemiss! Been a long time since I've been off the pill so not totally sure how things like that might affect your cycle 🤔 have you any sign of AF yet?

OP posts:
Littlemisssugarplum88 · 25/07/2017 13:25

I had pelvic cramps a few days ago but nothing since. Ohhh the waiting is horrible xx

BabiesOnTheBrain1 · 25/07/2017 14:21

That's very exciting! When are you going to test?! Tomorrow? Grin

OP posts:
murree · 25/07/2017 15:33

AF arrived with full and painful force this morning.... smuggling a hot water bottle at work today Blush
On wards to next month I guess!

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 25/07/2017 15:41

Sorry to hear that murree.WineAt least it didn't keep you waiting too long.

I'm not sure babies, what do you think?! Im already expecting AF to arrive late with ovulation happening later this month, but I actually have no idea if it would affect it or not lol xx

Betsyboo87 · 25/07/2017 17:28

Ah sorry murree!

Littlemiss I think you're the only one left standing? No pressure.... Hmm I think late ov does usually mean late af as the time between ov and af shouldn't change. BUT I think if you're a day late tomorrow then you should be good to test? Let us know!

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 25/07/2017 17:44

I'm out! AF has just arrived for me too Sad Same place next month girls?!

I can't believe not one of us was lucky this month xx

murree · 25/07/2017 18:09

Oh no that sucks littlemiss
See you all in a few weeks then ladies!

BabiesOnTheBrain1 · 25/07/2017 18:27

So sorry murree and Littlemiss! Wonder how @happybus28 is getting on?

Onto the next cycle for us all! I will keep checking in and see how you're all doing Smile anyone use apps to track cycle? Or OPKs? Or are we all just doing the BD when we feel like it Grin

happybus28 · 25/07/2017 18:33

Hi sorry been awol had a busy few days! AF not quite here in full force yet but have have cramps and spotting getting heavier and BFNs so it's only a matter of time!

I use ovia to try and keep track of things and I'll be using opks now I'm on clomid as don't wanna waste a cycle by not DTD at the right time! I used them last month and caught the surge to get a positive so hopefully manage the same again this month! Hope everyone's doing okay Smile

BabiesOnTheBrain1 · 26/07/2017 22:43

Any sign of AF yet happy? Tempted to test?!

OP posts:
happybus28 · 27/07/2017 06:41

Hi babies She arrived in full force yesterday so I am deffo out! Feeling okay just focusing on this cycle now! Just started my clomid again so fingers crossed it works again and I OV at a decent time! How are you? You must have nearly finished AF now have you?

BabiesOnTheBrain1 · 27/07/2017 21:36

Fingers crossed happy! You got the OPKs at the ready?
Yep finished yesterday, DP home from working away tonight so we shall see if the mood takes us Grin

BabiesOnTheBrain1 · 30/07/2017 10:15

Morning ladies! Have you all jumped enthusiastically into your next cycles?

OP posts:
shortcake76 · 30/07/2017 16:05

Yep, here we go again, but chances pretty low this month as DH working away considerably over the next few weeks. He's away for 3 nights next week and again the following.

happybus28 · 31/07/2017 08:49

Hi! Yes CD6 here. Last day of clomid today so hoping it does its job! Still a week or so to go until expected OV but gonna start my OPKs from Weds in case it's early!

BabiesOnTheBrain1 · 31/07/2017 13:32

Good luck shortcake! Hope you can time it right!

Fingers crossed happy! What day did you ovulate last month?

I'm CD12 today! So far have had sex on CD8 and CD11. Really want to think positive and DTD lots this month, aiming for every other day for the next couple of weeks.

OP posts:
happybus28 · 31/07/2017 13:51

Ov'd on day 15 last month babies so hopefully similar again which would be next Tues/Weds! I don't think we DTD enough last month as we had a lot going on & life just kinda got in the way so I'm feeling focussed this month! Gonna try for every other day between now and Sat then gonna try for every day Sun, Mon & Tues. DH isn't gonna know what's hit him!
