Hey all!
Brand new here.

Been off the pill since May this year but so far nothing.
Not overly been trying as such but it's been a bit sad every time AF has arrived.
So I will plonk myself on this bus and vow to try harder. I'm thinking of trying ovulation strips from the new year so I can be sure I'm trying at the right time.

@sophherts @owlpatrol thanks for the advice. I still don’t have a bbt shift and I’m now cd19 although some months I have O’d at this time. I guess it should happen anytime now. Also we’ve dtd 3 days in a row in anticipation of O. Im tired!!

@HoneyCake86 great to hear that you’re feeling more positive and fx for you xx

@FruitandNutty yes fx hun!

I'm not holding much hope now. Pre af cramps have racked up and all the other usual symptoms. Not due till 1st or 2nd so just a waiting game now. We timed it perfectly as well this month so feeling a bit down. Need to keep my mind of things and remember not out till af shows

surreygirl1987 · 27/12/2017 15:42

Glad you got some answers @honeycake86

So this is how stupid I am. I decided to poas at 10dpo at 4pm (no fmu obvs). Clearly snow-white negative but it's the first time I've had access to a hpt as have been away for xmas. When will I learn?!

lauraxgirl · 27/12/2017 15:43

Hello

New here!

TTC #1
Age 32
Cycle 1

I came off pill end of November, had normal bleed. Then a few days ago got some weird discharge that was a browny/pinky colour and have had twinges ever since. I am waiting for next period to arrive so I can work out my cycle length. And the twinges I believe are symptoms of coming off the pill. Has anyone else had these symptoms?

It's nice to have a place I can talk to others. Or I'll drive OH mad!

nk1605 · 27/12/2017 17:20

Hi to everyone who's just joined! CD9 now for me..was due to start dtd yesterday per the smep. But dp and i still getting over the cold and just weren't feeling up to it at all. My CM is extremely watery at the min which is odd for so early on in my cycle. So will have to start dtd tonight just in case my OV is a lot earlier than usual due to mc. Who knows...

Bee4S · 27/12/2017 17:21

Hello!
Jumping on the bus also.

Age 26
Cycle 2

I am in my FW currently, CD14 and usually OV CD 16/17. Will be testing early on/after Jan 6th and first cycle using Pre-Seed as well so here's hoping for a BFP in the new year!

FX for all those currently in their FW and 2WW! Smile

ImpatientMammy · 27/12/2017 17:32

OH is home tomorrow and I thought I'd ovulated Christmas Eve but due to a nasty cold temping hasn't been able to confirm. Then I just took and OPK and it has a strong second line ( I don't think positive) do you think I have a chance if we BD tomorrow ? X

January Bus - New Year, New Bumps Please!
ImpatientMammy · 27/12/2017 17:34

Hi to all the newbies and I hope your doing ok @HoneyCake86 sounds like you've had an ordeal x

Fia256 · 27/12/2017 18:35

Hi ladies!

I was on this thread at the start of it, then my phone broke and I decided to use that as a reason to take a break from mumsnet and all the excessive parts to ttc as I was becoming unhealthily obsessed by it all (temping, fertility friend etc etc) so big apologies if anyone from the last few threads wondered why I’d fell off the edge of the earth!

Anyway, just wanted to say that finally after 6 months of trying since losing our baby at 20w, I finally got my bfp today!! I’m approx 8dpo, I’ve not temped or even used opks this month but from all these months of trying I’ve got to know my body pretty well so I’m almost certain. Got a bfn with a frer this morning, then did another with diluted urine in the afternoon and got a light but clear bfp! Only thing I did different this month was firstly obviously completely chill out with it all, but secondly I’d been taking vitamin d and b12 supplements!

Wishing you all the very best of luck, especially those who I’ve spent the last few months hoping from bus to bus with! And keeping my fingers crossed we all get to join the sept babies thread together xxxx

Bumplovin · 27/12/2017 18:45

Hi please can I join? Ttc #2 I never used ovulation strips last time so I'm all confused saw a very faint line on one on Christmas Eve so dtd 24th 25th 26th got a really strong line today so we're trying again! It's only my first month trying so know it could take a while

ImpatientMammy · 27/12/2017 18:49

@Bumplovin a positive ovulation test will be the same as or darker than the test line. A faint lines a negative x

HoneyCake86 · 27/12/2017 19:00

Congrats fia! So so happy for you! Flowers

@impatientmammy yes it really has been. It could have been way worse though im just glad i finally know whats what. Af due on 6th of feb but im not sure whether id get it early or late or just ov beforehand. Me n DP are chilling out on the ttc til a new cycle begins xx

Emelene · 27/12/2017 19:05

Big congratulations @Fia256. Flowers All the best for your pregnancy.

Hardheadedwoman39 · 27/12/2017 19:31

Huge congratulations @Fia256 - that's brilliant news! I also got a BFP this month so fx I will be on the September bus with you xx

@HoneyCake86 I'm so glad you can draw a line under things x

Fia256 · 27/12/2017 19:37

Ahhh congratulations hardheaded that’s great!

Sorry I’ve not kept up with what’s gone on in the thread with everyone, since I got a new phone the mumsnet app seems to have disappeared from App Store completely and the internet site drives me nuts so I’ve not read through the last few weeks worth! Sorry if anyone’s gone through tough times and congrats to any other bfps since I’ve been gone!
