Off the mini pill this summer trying for bfp this autumn

@CouscousEvaporator @Luxoire @MrsSkr

This one is the one that thinks I ovulated today

Just did an opk, yet another flashing smiley

Hmm 2 apps now have me as 3dpo, the Ava app has me as 1dpo

@claireb707 maybe time to put the apps down, they can only be stressing you out. Just go back to DTD as often as you can x

@MrsSkr how are things with you today?x

@claireb707 oh that is frustrating. I used the clearblue ov tests when ttc my dd and NEVER got a solid smile, I gave up on them. It can be so hard when they all tell you different things, I wonder if @kiki275 is right, maybe have a break from the apps, dtd eod in your fertile window and whenever you fancy outwith?

@kiki275 I'm ok, if confused! So after the horrid ewcm last night I started cramping, had backache and my boobs have gotten a bit sensitive. I had a tiny bit of spotting when I wiped just before bed and fully expected af this morning. I didnt test with fmu as I thought af was about to arrive but still nothing. Just tested now and bfn. Still crampy, backache, sensitive boobs and soooooo tired xx

@MrsSkr how strange!? Well you're not out until AF shows. 🤞x

Ladies how are u all? I've had a very emotional 24hrs... Started bleeding last night about 7pm went to A&E not much they could do... Had ny follow up scan today Baby is fine heartbeat is fine and growing...they are not sure what is causing the bleed but told me not to worry bcos baby is fine...i am cramping a bit too but unless ur bleefing through 2/3pads an hour (which I'm not) then it's nothing to be worried about...

@claireb707 and @MrsSkr how are u? Xx

@Luxoire Oh what a stressful time you have had, I remember the feeling all too well as I had several bleeds whilst pregnant with my dd and everything turned out absolutely fine, noone knows what causes it. I'm so glad everything is ok and baby is growing well.

I'm ok today thank you, cd40 today 😫 Cramping and backache have eased today and still no sign of AF but bfn again this morning. I'm now definitely 'late' xx

@Luxoire it must be really worrying for you. Hope it resolves itself. What's your due date?x

@Luxoire thinking of you hun but I am sure everything will be fine. I bleed on my first which stopped after about 9 weeks.

I went docs and everything is fine with me, turned out to be a skin tag, omg I was more embarrassed going out then when I was going in lol.

AF should be here tomorrow, did a test this morning and it was negative but apart from sore boobs that I get every month I ha lve had no symptoms apart from the cramping at about 1 which was really bad. Xx

I'm doing ok thanks, sounds like you've had a rough time!
Am 3 (I think) DPO now so will see what next week brings

Sorry 4 not 3 (fat fingers 😂)

How are you today @Luxoire? xx

My 'period week' on ovia has now been and gone with no af and no bfp?! Should have come on Monday?! What's going on 😫😢

@MrsSkr how strange? Maybe book in with the GP to get checked out?x

AF is here, all at once from nowhere and with a bloody vengeance 😢😢

Oh @MrsSkr 😢😢 hope it's short and not painful

@MrsSkr I'm so sorry to hear that, hope she doesn't stick around too long and next month that BFP makes a proper appearance xx

@MrsSkr aww babe i am so sorry to hear the withc made a late appearance - i am hoping next month is YOUR MONTH! sending you great big hugs hun

@claireb707 you should be close to testing now right? how are you feeling babe?

@Kiki275 how's it going your end? any first tri symptons?

I am back - really anaemic and bleeding / spotting still on and off - hubby is off to the staed this week for 10 days or so back i think 10th Dec - so I had to tell my mum just bcos i couldnt face the thought of going through this alone with 2 young kids ( even though my mum lives no where near me so couldnt really help in an emergency!!! but i need her to know!! ) hahahahaha

I am anaemic even though i have been on iron tablets - have had my booking in appt with the midwife - who are more concerned with the bleeding than the hospital are - i have had to go have blood tests done and they will let me know if anything come up - just have to keep an eye on my iron levels lol
got my 12 week scan letter come through for 19/12
apart from that and feel like i have been run over by a truck i am generally ok - oh i am trying to not give into eating sh*t so i can keep my weight under control hahahaah - not doing well so far!

Potentially yes 9dpo today, no symptoms at all yet so am not holding my breath this month.

Period due Saturday / sunday so we will see

Hope the bleeding stops soon @Luxoire, I'd say take it easy but with 2 little ones and your oh away that's not going to easily doable

@claireb707 oohhh keeping everything crossed for you darling!!! no symptoms is not always a BFN sign - i dont have morning sickness or nothing, just sore nipples and the odd craving here and there - but not that different to when i really want chocolate when I am on PMS

thanks babe - its hard isnt it and they dont know yet so they still (esp my 4 yr old) wants me to play with him all the time bless him, he is a lovely though if i say i am tired - he says we can sit and colour quietly instead hahahaha

Hi, hope you don’t mind me joining! We’ve deceived to start trying for our first end of April (still ages away!). It seems surreal as although we’ve both known we want kids this will be the first time I’ve been off contraception ever! After reading some of these post I am completely lost! I feel like I should go back to school to understand what happens with a real period. I’m thinking of coming off the pill in about 3 months and then gives my body some time to adjust before trying 3 months later. Is this right? Any help and advice would be much appreciated! I feel very nervous/excited that on what we have decided. I’m not keen to talk to friends and family about it since they you have the pressure or expectations and waiting news, so I joined this forum to ask silly questions instead

@Jenijeni1 exciting! A lot depends on which contraception you are on as to how long it takes to normalise. Progesterone only is quicker than combined I think x
