@KatBeCool they seem to be getting lighter 🙈.

@DayDreamer1707

Ace! Last time I was on identical cycles @MrsLBear got her BFP. So I have good vibes for cycle buddies!!! 🤞

@FlapJackered nope, same here!!! I have zero signs of ovulation, and if this is a long cycle it can actually piss off 😂 my OPKs have gotten lighter and back to the normal line I get during the month. I don't have any signs of ov either, I've been checking my cervix too - but I've also been temping (it's still a bit all over the place because of varied sleeping) but it doesn't look like it's dropped. If it's any consolation I didn't take soy this month, maybe we're both having a weird one 😩 x

Omg @stormtrooperjulian such a lovely strong line ❤️

@KittieKath Hopefully we are both luck for each other. Trying my best not to symptom spot and take it easy.

Afternoon all!
I'm a bit puzzled today... I'm on CD23, DH and I had great fun DTD during my FW which was CD 5-10. AF isn't due til next Wednesday (last one started on Christmas Day) but I appear to be bleeding very lightly today... could it be implantation bleeding? Is it about the right time?

Sorry, FW wasn't CD5-10 it was 5-10 January, so CD12-17

@DayDreamer1707 thanks :) going to try and wait until Saturday but at the minute that seems so far away 🙈

@thumper59 how long did you wait for your withdrawal bleed and was it lighter/ shorter than expected? After being on bc for so long it’s difficult to work out what exactly I am feeling. If AF does show up then at least I know everything is back to normal and can get on track properly!

@AngeloMysterioso could be implantation bleed they say this tends to be around a week before AF but I would hold out till next Weds for testing. FX for you x

@Lozzlepop Saturday will soon be here, it's only 2 more get ups before you can POAS x

@cupcakesandglitter sorry you are having a rough cycle, it's the worst. That's why I took Christmas and New Year as a break. I'm sure everyone has there odd rubbish cycle. You are still in with a chance 🤞

@Lozzlepop I was on Microgynon so took my last pill on the Friday as normal, then bled Monday- Saturday as normal. 3 days heavy the rest light but nothing would of changed for me because I have that every month, it's all I've ever been on so I'm unsure how other pills work. This whole withdrawal/period palava confuses me.

My skins been better (yay). I had some pain/uncomfortable feeling in my lower Abdomen on Sunday, after I had a positive( or close) opk. According to my app I was due to ovulate yesterday but again how accurate this is I'm not sure. I've had the usual EWCM since Friday-Saturday so reckon it could of been accurate. I've felt a bit sick but there is no chance that could be pregnancy for me if I ovulated only in the last few days I think it's just been some side effects of coming off the pill. If I'm totally honest I'm just completely winging this month because I don't know what my body is doing and tbh I don't think my body does either!

Thanks @DayDreamer1707. Annoyingly I’d been feeling really chilled out, had no urge to do a FRER or anything at all and just wait for AF... then this happens!

@DayDreamer1707 you are so right it will be here in no time at all ☺️

@thumper59 thanks for letting me know. I was on Cerazette and didn’t have any periods on it so I’m pretty much in the same position as you that I have no idea what’s going on with my body at all 😂

I’m using a couple of apps but again not sure how accurate they are until I get some sort of bleed, all very confusing and frustrating. How do these people that get pregnant the first time they ever have sex do it?!

Thanks @DayDreamer1707 I'm struggling to stay chilled out after last month - I think I'll carry on with temping/OPKs but next month I'm going to stop everything again and do exactly the same as last month ( just no alcohol) x

@Lozzlepop i have no idea how they do it! This is my first month trying so I'm trying to tell my self it's so unlikely it will happen but also keep looking at the spare room that would be a nursery and imagining where everything would go 🙄

I think I'm going to test 1 week Friday. I'll be 4 days off AF coming (if she comes on time) and 10 DPO (if that was right!) am I just setting myself up for disappointment 😫

feeling a bit miserable today. AF due 20th...felt cautiously optimistic this cycle. Today I have horrible back ache and a crampy type feeling which has knocked the wind out of my sails a bit. My OH is so excited and keep asking if I think we've done it...but looks like maybe not this time.

@DayDreamer1707 haven’t POAS yet. Will tonight if AF not appeared. Will be first time ever! I’m a whole mix of emotions: trying not to get too excited as suspect more likely I am late, nervous, simultaneously getting carried away in my mind, stressed! Such a rollercoaster! I was so convinced on Friday I was out and so it’s a bit strange to have this hope again. Like someone has said before, if I’m out I’d rather find out by AF appearing but the suspense is killing me!!!

@cupcakesandglitter You need to do whatever best for you. I think we all need to try and enjoy TTC to an extent if that makes sense x

@Scotslass55 when was you due AF. I would defo wait till you are late x

@AngeloMysterioso as hard as it is, try and see it as a positive thing 😘

@stormtrooperjulian Huge Congratulations to you and your DH Can't wait to hear his reaction xxx

@ohmarnie Welcome to the Madness xxx

A bit more TMI but I had lots of EWCM this morning...i really expected my OPK to have a Static Smiley but still Flashing. Think i'll try again tonight just incase. I'm starting to wonder if I didn't Ov last month (first month off the pill) as I definately didn't have EWCM last month like I have today.

Sending baby dust and happy vibes to everyone waiting to test xxx

@DayDreamer1707 was due on Monday. Cycle can be bit erratic but normally 28 days.

@Scotslass55 fingers crossed for you!!!

@Scottslass55 I’m impressed at your restraint in not POAS already! I thought I did pretty well waiting til Tuesday 😂

@AngeoMysterioso so you’d be around 6dpo? That sounds about right for implantation. I had cramps on 6 and 7dpo that then stopped, I assume that was implantation happening as I don’t usually get cramps at that point.

@DayDreamer1707 couldn't agree more! I'm done with putting too much pressure on myself x

@FlapJackered I've just done an OPK and it's an almost positive (I've downloaded Glow so I can log them!!) guessing maybe ov is coming up for me, but I've not had any more EWCM... how you getting on? X

@cupcakesandglitter that's good news for you! Fingers crossed the next one is positive.
Unfortunately mine are still light, but I did get some ewcm earlier so I am hoping that is a good sign 🤞🏻

Thanks @FlapJackered that's a good sign!!! Hopefully they'll start darkening over the next couple of days x

@thumper59 I’m exactly the same, although I do look at my spare room, which is currently my dressing room and knownthat I will miss it! It’s our first month too so won’t be too much of a let down if AF comes just means I can have a wine this weekend.

@Scotslass55 sounds promising, fingers crossed and sending good vibes ☺️
