Just that really - trying to keep away from the early testing. Anyone else waiting?

@Fawnandwren yes I have noticed that I have more of a sex drive too since coming off pill and more cm. did you start ovulating straight away after stopping pill? I guess it's still early days for me atm, I've only been trying for about 3 months so I guess I shouldn't start worrying yet, maybe like you said, if nothing has happened within the next 6 months or so then maybe I should get some checks done x

Curious012 · 20/04/2020 14:20

@laurah92 how’s the temp today? I’m feeling sickly and sluggish today should be 4DPO, but I think that’s probably from being cooped up indoors going to try not to symptom spot this month. Are you going to wait to see if AF shows before testing this month? x

Hope everyone is feeling alright also on the TWW!

@laurah92 I don't know if I started to ovulate straight away, as I wasn't monitoring it. I came off the pill 18months ago due to needing to have some tests not linked to fertility. I then decided not to go back on as I wanted to get my body back to normal and needed to have an operation. I started not being careful from June last year and then actively monitoring my ovulation from October/November with the sticks which weren't too helpful and then with Ovusense in February. So far with ovusense I ovulated day 14 in March and day 15 in April. AF is due tomorrow possibly Wednesday as I'm between 27-29 days cycle wise.
I honestly thought you could get pregnant so easily, so this has been quite an eye opener for me. My DM found out she was P with me at 5 months despite being on the pill. So I always had it drilled in to me from her, sex Ed at school and many friends getting accidentally pregnant in our twenties and now planned friends getting their BFP after the first 2 months of trying. I think stress is a huge thing, it does still cause me stress when I think it's been 6 months now and no baby. But I have to just remember there are so many options nowadays. When is your AF due? x

Fawnandwren · 20/04/2020 16:00

I won't test until Wednesday as I'm pretty regular x

laurah92 · 21/04/2020 11:43

@Curious012 hey 😊 how are you today? I believe I didn't ovulate the first time round and I have now ovulated, I believe I ovulated Sunday/Monday being cd 21/22. My temp is starting to rise. I even felt ovulation pain on Sunday and then some twinges on the Monday. So hopefully this is a good sign. The last two cycles I didn't feel ovulation pain at all, just twinges so I am quite confident that this cycle, I did actually ovulate even tho it's quite late but before being on pill, I did normally have long cycles so hopefully it's normal. I'm due af around the 4/5th, I'm going to try and hold out to see if af shows her ugly face or not before testing but I know what I'm like lol 😂 what about you? X

laurah92 · 21/04/2020 11:54

@Fawnandwren how are you today?
I'm in a good mood today as I have definitely ovulated now, on the Sunday/Monday. I got ovulation pain on Sunday and twinges on Monday being cd 21/22, and my temp is rising now. Before being on pill, I always had long cycles so hopefully this is normal. My af is due on the 4/5th so I'm going to try and hold off till then to test but I know what I'm like and will probably test before haha 😂 what about you?
Yea I know, when I was at school they made it sound so easy to get pregnant and doctors too, they always said to me that if I miss 1 pill I could get pregnant. I've been having unprotected sex since January and nothing yet so it's really not that easy. It's actually very stressful x

Curious012 · 21/04/2020 12:16

@laurah92 that definitely sounds like a good sign! Sounds like your body is getting back into the swing of things after being on the pill. We’re you still DTD every other day over the weekend? Got another low reading on the OPK just now so I’m pretty sure I’m 5DPO. I’m the same going to try and hold out until 30th when AF is supposed to show her face but we’ll see if we get there 😂
I thought I would be so relaxed about TTC but I’m finding that every day I’m checking my apps and the threads on here. Not so causal after all, haha x

laurah92 · 21/04/2020 12:29

@Curious012 I know, when I first came off the pill, I said to my OH that I would just come off and we would just let nature take it's course haha 😂 well that isn't happening, like you, I'm tracking, checking my apps and internet and every little sign and symptom going lol 😂 yea hopefully my temp will stay up now, yeasterday and today it's been rising so 🤞 yea we was dtd every other day for 2 weeks and stopped after Monday. What about you? So 🤞 we caught the egg haha 😂 I've read that sperm can survive inside us up to 5 days waiting for an egg so hopefully with dtd every other day there was always something there ready for the egg 🥚 🤞🤞🤞 this is our month and we will be telling each other some good news, it would be nice to have some good news with all this going on atm, I know my family would love it when I tell them I'm pregnant 🤰 x

Curious012 · 21/04/2020 12:55

@laurah92 definitely got my 🤞🏻🤞🏻 It’s our month too!! Yeah same as you DTD every other day until 2DPO, I’m just a bit conscious I don’t want to kill our sex life by being obsessed cause I can already feel myself going that way 😂
Aw yes same here I know our families would love it! Although can see my brother and sister taking the p - ‘nothing better to do in quarantine’ haha. Let’s hope these next 2 weeks go quickly!! X

laurah92 · 21/04/2020 13:23

@Curious012 have you told anyone that your ttc? I'm keeping it 100% secret, be nice to just come out to family and close friends and say I'm pregnant 🤰can't wait for that day. Haha 😂 yea I know I think a lot of women will get pregnant around this time haha as there isn't anything else to do haha 😂 I really hope af doesn't show her ugly face 🤞🤞 x

Curious012 · 21/04/2020 15:24

@laurah92 no we haven’t mentioned it, partly because we thought it would just ‘happen’ and we wouldn’t be actively TTC but also both of our families mention us having a baby all the time so any sniff that it is actually going to happen would throw them into overdrive 😂
Got all my fingers crossed for you that this is the month 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Feeling a bit headachy and boobs are achy today but I’m desperately trying not to symptom spot! x

OP posts:
laurah92 · 21/04/2020 15:47

@Curious012 yea exactly, plus I think it will be a nice surprise and some nice news when you tell them that your pregnant 🤰 I can't wait to see the look on my mum and sisters face when I tell them. I think the more people that know that your trying, they just keep asking and it puts more pressure on you. Yea my boobs started really hurting from Sunday but I think that's cause of ovulation. I would only be 1/2 dpo atm so apart from really sore boobs I don't really have any symptoms. I hope this tww hurry's up, I'm so impatient, I just want to know if We have done the job or not, it's hell. Are you on Facebook? X

Fawnandwren · 22/04/2020 10:36

@laurah92 hello sorry I missed this, hope you have a good day today? I'm 13dpo due yesterday or today AF, just tested and had a BFN so AF will probably come later today or tomorrow. Bit disheartening, as I had a feeling it may have been this month. But no 😞 hope you get your BFP this month 🍀 x

Suki2020 · 22/04/2020 11:31

Morning ladies, how are you all this morning? So my temp chart has changed this morning and is now saying I ovulated late day 26. I got a BFN on a pregnancy test yesterday as I thought I was 14 DPO (days post ovulation) and then this morning my chart changed so confusing.

Littlebee1990 · 22/04/2020 12:16

Morning lovely ladies! I was just making lunch and thought AF came early as felt like I’d got wet down below but went to the toilet and I’ve got so much milky discharge, never had that before.. still hope I guess x

laurah92 · 22/04/2020 12:22

@Fawnandwren maybe your still testing to early?! If af still hasn't come in 1-2 days then do another test. Maybe implantation occurred a bit later. Keep me posted 🤞🤞 x

laurah92 · 22/04/2020 12:24

@Suki2020 I have ovulated late this month too, thought I was over a week post ovulation but temp never went up, did another test and got another peak, it's a good job we are still dtd just got make sure x

Suki2020 · 22/04/2020 13:13

Glad I’m not the only one ovulating late. Although I had egg white on 7th April and it’s been watery ever since (sorry to much info) so I’m confused. Hoping I still have a chance this month as it now says I’m 5DPO and we were still DTD when it now states I ovulated.

Curious012 · 23/04/2020 09:08

Hi @Suki2020 and @Fawnandwren how are you doing today? I’m trying not to come on here everyday as I feel I’m getting a bit obsessed with the days. 7DPO here and I feel really headachy and tired. Not sure if that’s just constantly being on the computer though!

@laurah92 halfway through the TWW for me feels like bloody forever. CD 25 today so j would normally see AF on day 27/28 but app is showing me 30th. I’m hoping if she does come it’s on the 30th though as it gives me a longer luteal window. How are you feeling today? I feel shattered! No I don’t use Facebook anymore got rid a couple of years ago, too many people I went to school with on there haha x

Littlebee1990 · 23/04/2020 10:05

Hope everyone is ok today.. hopefully not too much longer for us all to wait to test x

Curious012 · 23/04/2020 10:35

Hi @littlebee1990 7DPO here just seems to be forever to wait! What day is AF due for you?
Hope you’re OK Smile fingers crossed this is the month! x

OP posts:
Littlebee1990 · 23/04/2020 10:45

AF is 29th for me! Are you planning on testing before? I think I’ll end up using FRER this weekend as I just can’t bloody help myself!

Curious012 · 23/04/2020 11:00

@littlebee1990 I know! I’m going to try and hold out. Tbh I think I will see AF before the 30th as my cycles are always 27/28 days which should be Saturday. I’ll probably cave if I don’t see AF by Monday haha. How are you feeling?

OP posts:
Fawnandwren · 23/04/2020 11:03

Morning Ladies @Curious012 and @laurah92 so normally I get AF during the night, I woke up this AM so happy to find nothing. Had a cup of tea and went for a wee and BAM there she is 😢 honestly sometimes it is just really hard trying. I know a few people who tried for a year and got pregnant, so I know not everyone is straight away. Before CV DH was booked in with a Urologist and I was having a scan to check my follicles on my request. We know DH has a low sperm count anyway. Hope you both don't see AF this month 🍀🍀 xx

Curious012 · 23/04/2020 12:19

@Fawnandwren
Ah that is so annoying that AF has turned up!! This whole TTC business is definitely much more stressful than I had anticipated and we’ve only been going a couple of months.. hopefully you get your BFP soon 🤞🏻
Have they given you a new date for tests given the whole CV situation? x
