@luxoire that's so funny, imagine getting pulled over at customs and asked what the medication was for 🤣 if I'm honest I've not properly looked into the other vitamins that improve conceptipn. I've just been going by other peoples advice, I know a lot of midwives and drs so I just asked them 🤣

Where are you off to on holiday?

Luxoire · 12/08/2019 13:03

@Blossomingflower94 hahahaha dont say that ... i'd totally just wished the ground opened up as i am sure DH will be just as intrigued as the customs guys to know what the med was for lol hahahaha ohhh dear i better wait till we get bck then ahahah and officially come off the pill

we are off to Costa Brava in Spain!

@Blossomingflower94

Yeah we're very similar (although my AF averages around 6/7 days 😭- which is probably why I ovulate late in my cycle) but I'm mostly 28/29 days too.

I used OPK properly last month and will continue along with SMEP.

🤞here's hoping this is the month.

wannabemum38 · 12/08/2019 15:23

After ovulation I'm now 2DPO so the TWW starts. Crossing fingers 🤞

Luxoire · 12/08/2019 16:59

@wannabemum38 ohh good luck!! keep us posted ! xx

Blossomingflower94 · 12/08/2019 17:58

@lornz Nice to know you have a healthy cycle though. I'm always worried as mine is super short and light. Don't know if it'll affect my fertility.

My OPKs have just been dispatched so they should be here by day 8! Can't wait to actually know when I ovulate 😂 (I'm so weird)

@luxiore I hope you have a fantastic holiday!!

MrsSkr · 12/08/2019 18:33

Hi all, hope you are all good? I'm off to get my mirena out tonight, I'm actually really excited (weirdo). I know we arnt actually ttc until end Sept but really looking forward to having real periods (never thought I'd say that) and figure out my cycle xx

HappyGirl86 · 12/08/2019 18:34

Hi Ladies,
Just noticed my ovulation stick tonight is getting darker. I'm only calendar Day 9, so I am thinking I ovulate sooner than my app would be saying. We shall see!
First time I've used these so I'm just learning how they work, but I can see it darker. Or is just me?!

Eeeeek @wannabemum38 exciting times!! Keep us posted! Wishing you lots of luck!!

HappyGirl86 · 12/08/2019 18:37

Hope it goes well @MrsSkr I can totally understand how you feel. I felt like that about the pill.

wannabemum38 · 12/08/2019 18:52

Thanks @Luxoire and @HappyGirl86 trying not to think about it too much! My TWW end/possible AF actually coincides with our anniversary trip to Paris so going to try and hold out til then to test and take one with me!

HappyGirl86 · 12/08/2019 19:25

That would be a lovely special trip gift @wannabemum38

I'm similar although no where near as good as Paris. My AF is due the week we are in Anglesey. Would be lovely timing to get a positive. I'm such a negative nettie though......I'm already convinced it won't happen for me

Luxoire · 12/08/2019 19:47

@Blossomingflower94 thank you

@MrsSkr good luck tonight...let us know how u get on and how u feel?! Many women dont actually dpnt realise how precious normal cycles are until they are TTC..me included...hahaha after my first TTC I didnt take my periods for granted anymore Hahahah

@HappyGirl86 I thibk they are getting darker too...thats interesting though that the app might be wrong. I will test for mine a day or 2 earlier than the app suggests then!

@wannabemum38 eeekkkkk you'll be super good to hold out...i dont think i am that patient I will be test first chance i get lol Hahhahaha Hahahah I am terrible..keeping everything crossed for you hun x

wannabemum38 · 12/08/2019 20:29

@Luxoire At the moment I have a lot on to keep me occupied but I know I will be tempted. My DP said not to bother buying a FRER test and wait til Paris so we can find out together but I know next week I will be tempted especially if I start getting any symptoms!

wannabemum38 · 12/08/2019 20:31

@HappyGirl86 definitely getting darker I used similar tests this month and mine did that and your last one was what mine looked like day before I had my positive test and LH surge so cross fingers for you

Thistle23 · 13/08/2019 11:43

I came off my pill on the 1st of this month, had my withdrawal bleed and just waiting for my system to get back to normal periods.

I'm such an impatient person .

Destiny25 · 13/08/2019 12:18

Hi guys,

How you all doing?

Did anyone experience pregnancy symptoms after coming off the pill/implant?

Coming up to 3 week tomorrow since my implant removal, hoping my real period kicks in soon. I had the withdrawal straight away but driving myself crazy.

@HappyGirl86 I thought you couldn't predict the surge on the opk unless it was the same colour as the test line? Like if it's getting darker your getting closer to ovulating if that makes sense. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Luxoire · 13/08/2019 14:29

@Thistle23 i think we all are at this point and are encouraging each other along! welcome to the club

@Destiny25 we are all fine....i get really sore boobs just before i come on when i am on the pill - i am still on it for another week though - have you taken a test to check you are NOT pregnant? x

wannabemum38 · 13/08/2019 14:39

So I had a really bad anxiety episode last night which stopped me from sleeping and thus stopped me from going to a job interview today. I dont know what set it off not had one for ages but feel like its worse timing I really need to get some sort of job soon otherwise my poor DP will be paying the rent by himself in new place when we get it and I just feel like im so useless right now. Guess being on the TWW isnt helping matters! Sorry for the moan ladies just needed to vent.

Blossomingflower94 · 13/08/2019 15:07

@wannabemum38 I'm sorry to hear you're having a tough time of it. Is your DP supportive? It's difficult when they don't know what you're feeling xx

wannabemum38 · 13/08/2019 15:24

@Blossomingflower94 Yeah he phoned me on his lunch break and told me to concentrate on our paris trip next week but I know he is disappointed I can tell.

Destiny25 · 13/08/2019 16:55

@Luxoire I can't be due on I've had sore boobs/sucky/back ache for 2 weeks now, I've just took a test and it was negative. It's probably my body getting back on track but I was only on the pill and implant for 2 weeks.

How strange are body's eh! X

HappyGirl86 · 13/08/2019 18:20

Hi @Destiny25 I don't know much about these ovulation sticks, all I know is that it needs to be as dark as the test line is and it hasn't been yet.
