New thread!
@Delilah7 @daisiesandpeonies @Crossfitgirl

Sorry to hear AF turned up @Crossfitgirl - next month will be your month!!! Wishing you lots of baby dust!

Spotting today at 2-3 dpo. Far early for period and on the early side for implantation too. Big sore boobs and weepiness. Promised myself I wouldn't symptom spot. Who knows?

@FlapJackered thank you lovely. I'm not leaving I promise 😘😘😘😘

@Delilah7 so glad to hear you're sticking around.

@Delilah7 thank you, I'm okay, just a little anxious (I am a VERY anxious person!). DH has decided not to go for his appointment (thank god!) so that means I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn and travel an hour and a half then worry about getting back for my appointment too! So I get a morning of work first to keep me occupied then off to my appointment at 3pm :)

Good luck for tomorrow @purplestar9 fingers crossed it is all ok. Let us know how it goes.

@daisiesandpeonies when I get ov pain it lasts for days, like 1-2 days before and then about 3 days after this time I reckon, along with sensitive boobs etc.
Is it just on one side? If so, I think that must be what it is! I only ever get fluttery feelings when my tummy is rumbling or I need to fart 😂😂😂 which tbh I think I do do more of when I'm ovulating! I'm sure hormones affect other movements not just your woman organs!!

Thank you @mrsM2017 I hope so! Bought a thermometer and a clear blue OPK to try too!

@validuser I think our bodies just like to mess with us! I mean, I'm still symptom spotting now, and AF is already here!! Haha on my way home from work i was like ooh I feel a bit nauseous... oh wait yeah I'm already out!!

Did you do an OPK to know when you ovulated or are you going from an app? Maybe you ovd earlier than you think? Xx

Thank you @FlapJackered I will update tomorrow :)

@Crossfitgirl I had such bad trapped wind and bloating this cycle around ovulation! I thought I was just being weird but you made me feel better about it! Haha

@Crossfitgirl I used OPKs, but it stayed blazingly positive for 2 days!

Hey everyone! I’m new around here.

Age: 26
Baby: #1
Cycle: 1

I took my last pill (Gederal) mid-July and had a withdrawal bleed as normal. My husband and I have since been TTC. Obviously I have no idea when I am ovulating at the moment but we just tried more than usual around the few weeks I thought I may have been. Anyway, I am now a few days late (AF was due Sunday/yesterday). I am also feeling exhausted, bloated, sore nipples and growing boobs as well as slight cramping. I did a test on Saturday (4 days ago) which was BFN, but not sure when to test again? I may wait a few more days to see if AF turns up! I have previously had breaks from the pill, but my cycles have always gone straight back to normal.

I’d love to hear from others in a similar situation. How long did it take you to get pregnant after coming off BC? What symptoms did you get? Was AF late/irregular?

Thanks! X

@ValidUser thank you 😘

@purplestar9 hope the hospital appointment goes well. Let us know 😘

@Chivari Hi welcome. It could be just the pill or it could be babyyyy. Defo wait and see if AF turns up. I was my 3rd cycle when I got pregnant. Unfortunately miscarriaged but I can happen quite quickly. Only symptoms I had was jeans were abit tighter and no cramps that AF would normally bring.

Ladies, had abit of a meltdown last night. Talking to OH about me ovulating and he goes ' we didn't say we was gonna try this early after the miscarriage '. My hearts just sank. I'm now worrying about everything!! I don't know if my DTD in my fertile week and on Friday and Sunday when me ovulating is today supposedly would be enough :( xx

@daisiesandpeonies my ovulation pain is normally one side and I feel abit goodebumpy sometimes with it. I understand the 'fluttery' type feeling!

Welcome @Chivari.

Is it your first cycle off the pill since your withdrawal bleed? If so, are you going from how long your periods were before? Mine are not the same length now as they were before going on the pill, and lots of people do have irregular cycles for a bit after.
That being said, there's a chance you could be - when I last went got the pill before coming off i asked about conception and i was told to be extra careful until we wanted to start properly trying, as people think you won't catch until youve been off the pill for a while to get it out of your system, but you are fertile straight away! would take another test today if you think you're already late. And tell us the result!!
You joined this thread a bit late if you are already pg!! 😂

Good luck!! Xxx

Wahh!!! I got my static smiley!!!! After 14 days of that flashing smiley mocking me! I screamed in the bathroom this morning and DH thought I had hurt myself! 😂
Time for some Italian Dtd! If I get pregnant this cycle I am going to have to give him/her an Italian name.

@Delilah7 good! So glad you're sticking around 😘

@Crossfitgirl I am exactly the same, after AF I felt nauseous and thought, maybe that 3 day full bleed wasn't a period it was just implantation bleeding 🙈😂

Welcome @Chivari - it can take a while for your cycles to get back to normal after, that doesn't mean you can't get pregnant straight away but it's going to be hard to predict af etc until you have had a few periods.

@delilah7 do you want to start trying again? Maybe your OH isn't ready after the MC? Guys don't talk about their feelings enough - I would talk about it together and establish what you both feel is best xxx

Yaaaaaayy @flapjackered thats made my morning!! Go get him!!!! We will have to get our thinking caps on for Italian names!

@FlapJackered love the Italian name idea 😍 😘

@Crossfitgirl we've spoken and he says that it will be ok and it will happen and I know he wants a baby. I think it's just after the miscarriage. I feel maybe it's overwhelmed him. So I'll cool off for the next month or so talking about it. ( to him anyways 😂 ) xxx

Thanks @FlapJackered @Crossfitgirl and @Delilah7 I'm hoping it is baby! But who knows. I haven't done a test yet today, was thinking of waiting until tomorrow. Still no sign of AF..... I'll let you know the result!

It is interesting how cycles change so much after BC! I've had breaks between different BC's before but always had regular cycles straight away.

Morning ladies! And welcome Chivari. As others have said it can take a while for everything to settle down. If AF doesn't arrive I would do another test in a couple of days.

@Flapjackered hooray for static smiley! Now get to it

@Delilah7 I think @Crossfitgirl's advice is good. Men are rubbish at this sort of stuff sometimes. He might think that was the plan because he thought you would think it was best or something.

Last night I had to keep getting up to go for a wee. But boobs still aren't sore so it makes me think this month isn't the one. Anyone else struggling to concentrate at work?!

@CrystalBlaze yeah that's true... I can't concentrate for SHIT. I need chocolate. I need pink gin. I need all of that right now 😂

@Delilah7 may I commend you for staying sane through all this!?

My episode of spotting is over and done with. On recalculation, I'm about 5 dpo now (apparently we're supposed to time from the first positive opk). AF due a week from today.

Bought some clearblue digital opks for next month. Not to be negative - just realistic. And if I am pregnant they might do for DC2! 😂

@ValidUser aww. Thank you. I certainly don't feel it with how much I moan 😂

Keep faith though. Could all be a good sign. 😘

@CrystalBlaze I have pretty much been unable to concentrate since we started ttc 😂 it is very bad for productivity!

@Crossfitgirl thank you!! DH just suggested Michelangelo 😂 although I do like Florence for a girl?

TMI warning but do you find when you're having regular sex, not much comes out after. Normally it is dripping out immediately when we haven't done it for a while, but today there was nothing? Does anyone else have this?

@chivari I came off my pill at Christmas and have only had a normal cycle for about 4-5 months.

still TTC, AF is due Thursday. Crossing everything for this time as its our first wedding anniversary in a few weeks to! this would be our first baby. I've convinced my self AF is coming though, tell tale signs and im ready for the disappointment again :( how long has every one been TTC for?

@gjchapman fingers crossed :) since May. Xx
