So, the subject says it all! Although I feel I may have more a chance this month.
I came off the pill December - last month we was out. But this month, I apparently ovulated yesterday 12/01/20. We did the deed twice 2 days before ovulation... so today Iam 1dpo.

Anyone in the same that wants to join?
I really want to try not symptom spot, but yesterday I felt the cramps - which led me to think it was ovulation.

AF due today if my cycle is still on track, no symptoms other than sore nipples but still haven't come on. I think she's going to be delayed. Makes this whole thing more frustrating xx

MrsCOR · 27/01/2020 12:38

@Kates21 - thank you... Not sure what is going on now. It isn't normal and very light today. Worried this is af coming early. Feeling incredibly sick and light-headed and bbs starting to hurt again. I am so lost at the moment... 😔

Anny27 · 27/01/2020 12:38

@Kates21 how come this will be your last month ttc untill August?

Mm might just be because your recently came off the pill but worth checking

Anny27 · 27/01/2020 12:39

@mamahannah2019 have you tested?

Kates21 · 27/01/2020 12:48

@anny27

Purely because Of Xmas and my sons birthday. So would ideally like a baby due after this time.
But me and my partner have said if it happens then it happens.
This is my third month off the pill so period should’ve regulated before if not by now, in the past when I’ve come off the pill my periods weren’t affected and regulated straight from first cycle like this time x

@Anny27 I tested on Friday, flat out negative. I'm apprehensive to test again because I don't feel any different. Just think my period may be late. What do you think? Worth testing again or...?

LV1987 · 27/01/2020 13:43

Hi everyone, my AF is almost over already... Reckon she'll be out of my way by tomorrow, and then onwards ho!

@Kates21 I really don't think there is a magic formula for what is normal when you come off the pill. It took me nearly 9 months to have a period the first time I came off of it, and only 6 weeks this time. What's more important is knowing what is normal for you, so if this doesn't feel normal for you, take the pill out of the equation and get it checked out. Hope that helps ☺️

Sorry to hear of so many AFs... Mine has finished so will get to it over the next week or so and start the whole process again lol, I wonder if I can avoid symptom spotting this time round... Grin

I would definitely get checked out @Kates21 - just to be sure. I'm with you on the no baby around xmas front, but I don't think we'll stop trying, if we end up with an xmas baby then at least we have a baby! My LO is 3 (4 in September) and I don't want a massive age gap x

polejunkie · 27/01/2020 13:54

@Mamahannah2019 when were you due? I think a couple of days between tests (when you're late) is perfectly reasonable - You may get a squinter! x

Mamahannah2019 · 27/01/2020 14:01

@polejunkie I'm due on my period today. May try one tomorrow morning. I just hate the sight of a negative. Heart breaking x

Kates21 · 27/01/2020 14:01

@polejunkie

Yes we have said if it happens it happens, my boy will be 3 in feb, so it’s a nice gap regardless. But we shall see what happens.

@Mamahannah2019 I'm due on either today or tomorrow but still no sign. Last test I took (yesterday am) was a bfn and I just can't take seeing another one either so going to wait now until I'm late (or af shows!) x

Mamahannah2019 · 27/01/2020 15:24

@MilsCookie exactly how I feel, seeing those negatives make my heart drop, I can't take it. Still no sign of AF I don't even feel like she's going to come, don't feel period-y like I usually do. But then I don't feel pregnant either so maybe AF is just late. Tempted to test tomorrow morning but I can't take seeing another negative, makes me feel sick xx

Avacadoandtoast · 27/01/2020 19:50

AF still not here (Due yesterday) - but BFN this evening. Surely if I was pregnant I should have seen a faint line by now?!

Mamahannah2019 · 27/01/2020 20:04

@Avacadoandtoast I'm due on today and still nothing too!!! I have shooting pain in one ovary tonight. Google is telling me the worst... naturally hahaha. I'm tempted to test but tested on Friday and was flat out neg. I thought the same like surely if I was pregnant it would show? God knows?

Avacadoandtoast · 27/01/2020 20:17

@Mamahannah2019 What’s google telling you?! Can you not amend your search so google becomes positive 😂 That’s strange about a shooting pain in an ovary!

Mamahannah2019 · 27/01/2020 20:51

@Avacadoandtoast it's telling me everything from pregnancy to ovulation pain (can't be) to cyst to cancer. The usual haha! Yeah I had it in my left a few days ago and now on my right side. On and off so god knows what that is all about. Tempted to test on a first response in the morning. Hmmmm, any signs for you? Love your username by the way

Avacadoandtoast · 27/01/2020 21:10

Just pick the one you want the most and go with that! I’ve had cramps and bloating like AF is on the way for the past couple of days, but then nothing. I’ve also been extremely thirsty today. I think I will see if she comes tomorrow and if not test again on Wednesday morning...
Let me know how you get on tomorrow if you do test!

Sounds promising!! Xx

Mamahannah2019 · 27/01/2020 21:57

@Avacadoandtoast @Kates21 I should try and focus on the positives. Hard though when so many things could put your cycle off x

Kates21 · 27/01/2020 21:57

@Mamahannah2019
I know love but do try and remain positive! Xx

Mamahannah2019 · 27/01/2020 22:01

@Kates21 thank you so much, curious why I'm having pain over one side though, we shall see. I think I'll test in the morning with a first response and see. Go from there. I have a feeling it'll be neg but we shall see. I tested Friday and it was neg so don't see how this could be much different.

Kates21 · 27/01/2020 22:04

@Mamahannah2019

The length of time from Friday is huge, so tomorrow’s result could be completely unexpected! I have my fingers crossed for you! X

Mamahannah2019 · 27/01/2020 22:09

@Kates21 thank you so much, I will report back in the AM hehe xx

MilsCookie · 27/01/2020 23:34

@Mamahannah2019 @Avacadoandtoast I am the same. AF hasn't showed today so it should be tomorrow otherwise I'll be late. But for about a week I have just had a dull achey feeling in my uterus that comes and goes. I have also been really thirsty today! I'm also super gassy (both ends 🤣😂) and slightly sore boobs/nipples. This could all just be period/PMS signs though. My DP doesn't want me to do another test until Friday (CD37 - the same as when I got my bfp with my mc pregnancy) so I'm going to do one then if AF hasn't already shown.

I also had twinges on both sides (alternating) all of last week. Was so confusing! 🤷🏼‍♀️
