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.

@lv1987 - when is AF due? I mean you could get a +ve if you are pregnant, but how will you feel if you don't? I mean I can't really talk, I pee on sticks all the time haha, BUT I'm always a bit annoyed because they're never positive. See how the shakiness and queasiness are when you wake up, if worse - POAS?! x

LV1987 · 19/02/2020 13:44

That's not talking me out of it @polejunkie 😅 I think I'm due on Saturday. Lunch is not sitting right, and I've not managed to eat it all, but the shakiness has eased from getting something in me. I really want a McDonald's milkshake, but at the same time the thought of one sloshing around is yucky.

polejunkie · 19/02/2020 13:47

@lv1987 Just think each day you leave it the more accurate the answer will be... PLUS you don't want to see a negative, the earlier you test the more likely the negative is. Do you feel pregnant? Even if you are, you are still not guaranteed to get that BFP...!

Is that better? Lol x

LV1987 · 19/02/2020 13:50

So much better, thank you, just the kick up the bum I needed 😘😂

No one likes salad anyway, that's probably all it is!!

rachelrainbow · 19/02/2020 13:54

I agree, wait until AF is due if poss. I didnt wait and poas this morning and it’s been droving me mad as I can’t decide if there is a line or not. Wish I hadn’t done it now 🤦‍♀️

polejunkie · 19/02/2020 14:34

Ladies - There's always tomorrow, fingers crossed for you both x

@Macaz20

Haven’t heard from him, which I knew would be the case. Also very telling if I’m honest! X

Morning girls,

Bit of confusion this morning, been up all night blowing my nose and feeling rubbish due to a bad case of man flu. My OH got up for work so I got up to pee and to my shock there was some pink blood on the toilet paper 😱 I’ve literally only come off my pill at the end of January so this is our first cycle and I wasn’t expecting AF this early (although I do get my cycles might not be regular straight away) surely it won’t come this early? Wasn’t expecting it until 28th should be approx 7DPO, My head is battered 😬

polejunkie · 20/02/2020 08:03

@Macaz20 you might find your cycles are a bit squiffy after coming off the pill... But it isn't unheard of to ovulate and get pregnant before properly tracking your cycles... unfortunately you have a little wait, unless you want to POAS and see a negative which is quite likely at this point - Sending love x

Macaz20 · 20/02/2020 08:10

@polejunkie yeah I just wasn’t expecting this early but if it’s here it’s here. I’ll just see what happens next few days I won’t POAS because as you say it’ll only be negative.

polejunkie · 20/02/2020 08:12

@macaz20 - This is the hardest bit, the waiting - try not to symptom spot (I'm rubbish at this part) and you will soon know what's happening x

Macaz20 · 20/02/2020 08:16

@polejunkie yeah definitely it just totally took me by surprise. I’ll just have to wait and see I suppose. I planned on POAS on 26th two days before AF due purely because we’ve got a party and if it was negative was going to have a few beers haha. But may not need to test now if this is AF x

polejunkie · 20/02/2020 08:19

@macaz20 - I hear you on the beer front lol, I always (weirdly) celebrate getting my AF by having a drink LOL, here if you need to vent at all x

Macaz20 · 20/02/2020 08:22

@polejunkie haha gotta get those beers when you can! See how long this bleed/spotting lasts for over next few days it’s probably down to my pill messing with me I was on it a long time to be fair. Thanks for letting me vent it’s much appreciated 💕

Kates21 · 20/02/2020 09:14

Hey girls,

Just to say with my first baby, I actually conceived when using the pill! When I came off the pill November I had a normal period from December & continues regular apart from last month - which was due to having 2 periods caused by length of month.

Also, just a thank you to you girls for being so supportive. Times get proper shit but I know I have a bunch of women I can moan too. So thanks x

Morning @kates21 - Times do get shit, for a variety of reasons and having someone to talk to makes the world of difference! So thanks to you for starting this thread, it's helped me a lot so far on my TTC journey x

Kates21 · 20/02/2020 10:21

@polejunkie

Ahh thank you! Tbh I never thought it would be as huge as it is now with comments, I can’t quite believe it haha.
But I’m glad it’s helped and will continue to do so ❣️

LV1987 · 21/02/2020 07:32

Morning! So I managed to refrain from testing yesterday... Made all the more difficult by being off work with the kids! We took them to the coast thinking we could beat the weather, we couldn't beat the weather😂

I nearly caved this morning, but still got my FRER wrapped up in my undies drawer waiting for tomorrow! AF normally gets me over night, so if she doesn't tonight, then I am peeing on that stick tomorrow!!

polejunkie · 21/02/2020 07:45

@lv1987 good for you!!! Fingers crossed x

LV1987 · 21/02/2020 08:34

Thank you! Today should be quite busy at work today, so that'll help keep my mind off it until I get home at least 👍

Avacadoandtoast · 21/02/2020 08:55

Hi ladies - I disappeared as felt I was getting obsessed with symptoms and thinking about it all. Thought I’d come check in and so sorry to hear all the stuff going on with you @Kates21 - you sound like you’re doing alright though? I guess there will be ups and downs, but you know in your heart you had to have it out with him so definitely the best thing you could have done. Stay strong chick 😘

Kates21 · 21/02/2020 09:24

Hey @Avacadoandtoast

Nice to hear From you! Hope your ok!
I’m all good thank you though, these things happen. I feel better for it if I’m honest, it was one of those shitty lessons that life likes to throw at you now and again.

Xx

Avacadoandtoast · 21/02/2020 11:11

That’s good - you need to look after yourself and sounds like that’s exactly what you’ve done!
I’m ok thank you - just busy with day to day life which is good i guess! X

polejunkie · 21/02/2020 11:23

@avacadoandtoast - I know the feeling, sometimes distance and keeping busy is exactly what you need x

Avacadoandtoast · 21/02/2020 11:51

Yes @polejunkie - I was getting obsessive, easily done! Feels like all my friends are onto their seconds and I’m just falling behind - it’s ridiculous though - I need to stop comparing and just relax and enjoy what I do have!
