Not added anyone that I don’t have dates for but I’ve not forgotten you just let me know when you know you ovulate/ know your test dates ☺️

@Minster2012 because I don’t know if I am going to have another short cycle or go back to my original :(

@SmileyT thank you :) just gone via my app this month but if we have no luck then I will start tracking. We have had a couple of occasions over the last year where we tried using the app but weren’t successful. So I think tracking will be the way forward

blodyn91 · 22/06/2020 20:43

@Cocoblue22 I have done exactly the same- even read how to detox post pill 🙈 I reckon 3 months probably, so I'm most likely out, as it takes 3 months to make an egg. But some do ovulate first cycle back- so holding on to hope

Cocoblue22 · 22/06/2020 20:49

Three months to make an egg?!? I didn't know that! Where did you hear that @blodyn91 x

Just been reading that depo injection takes 9-12 months to fully leave people's systems! And that a long cycle can indicate you haven't ovulated which I didn't know either x

I'm completely convinced I'm out again this month 😭 x

Cocoblue22 · 22/06/2020 20:50

@blodyn91 are you definitely not going to try after this month? I hope you get your BFP this month 🤞🏻 x

KateColx · 22/06/2020 20:55

@SmileyT has OH finished nights ready for your FW? 👀🍆 I'm really hoping we manage to get some in tonight and tomorrow but my OH has been working since 6 this morning and not long been in 😩 Might have to use my mouth to get him going 👀😬

Soo just had a LOT of EWCM, so I think peak will be tomorrow, although I do wonder if I should do OPKs as well as CB tests as I could detect peak a bit earlier than I do with CB. What do you guys think? Do many of you do both?

EPO and assfruit juice has defo done the job this job this cycle x

Minster2012 · 22/06/2020 21:10

@Cocoblue22 don't count yourself out, i was on depo for over 18 years & last may i stopped then nov has period & my IVF clinic scanned me & all was well (except my low egg reserves) so that's 6 months

@KB13 how frustrating for you, are you going to track after this one?

@smileyT now I want a 🍕🍕😂

Minster2012 · 22/06/2020 21:11

And good thing for not flinging the ewcm @smileyT 😂🤣

notyetamumbuttrying · 22/06/2020 21:15

@Minster2012 I don't think it's on the cards tonight sadly and I cant be arsed anyway lol!
Ah I see, well hopefully you'll get something out of it still or they do them again.
@Missgoldilocks oh I see! Interesting about the tubes thing. I'm gonna try the docs again next month and just say the first gp I spoke to got it wrong. See how that flys! 😜
@Katao aha, doesn't bother me. Everyone has their wants. So you hoping for a girl then?
I hear ya @Ltay2 it is well stressful I agree 😂

Mococo1 · 22/06/2020 21:15

Aww @smileyt really hoping that this month is yours♥️ I know I've read so much about being fertile afterwards and actually if this pregnancy had made it I would have been convinced it was true as I was literally pregnant again straight away! (After waiting the one recommended cycle) But now after two losses in the space of 2.5months the idea of being pregnant again is a bit daunting so don't really think il be pregnant again a third time in a row but this amazing group has worked wonders xx

Baby dust to everyone

blodyn91 · 22/06/2020 21:17

@Cocoblue22 Google oocyte development humans, actually just read 120 days, so thats more like 4 months

lucyrp · 22/06/2020 21:27

hey everyone very quickly caught up before bed! trying not to be on my phone too much at the moment!

@Cocoblue22 i was on the depo injection until june last year which is when i had my last shot! i thought i was back to normal because i have had my periods etc and the doctor explained that i probably was but that's why there doing my 21 day bloods next cycle because it will have been just under 12 months since the last shot of depo would have worn off x

Cocoblue22 · 22/06/2020 21:36

Sorry guys think I confused everyone I wasn't on the depo injection was on the combined pill but I was reading about that then it said about that injection! I was just shocked how long it stays in your system for and I thought the pill was bad taking a few months to wear off! X

Katao · 22/06/2020 21:55

I thought we were all born with our egg reserve? Whats this about 120 days!?!
@Mococo1 I'm sorry I didn't realise this was your second loss in a row, that's so tough. I hope you are ok.

@notyetamumbuttrying yes a girl would be lovely, I'd like my daughter to have a sister.

Missgoldilocks · 22/06/2020 21:58

@Cocoblue22 yeah the Depo is super bad!

Well I'll be honest, got my usual 8dpo pre af cramps so I'm really holding no hope. I know you aren't out till af comes but I know my body like the back of my hand and clock work 8dpo/9dpo cramps is a big one. I need to find a way to just forget about trying while trying because it's not healthy 😩 honestly think I'm losing my mind and my partner really isn't emotionally supportive I can't cry to him and he tell me it's going to be okay lol or we are in this together, you know some supportive shit!? He gets so annoyed when I talk about it or just stays silent. I feel super alone I can't talk to any friends in real life about it because they've never been through it so don't understand why it's upsetting. And honestly I want him to be there for me as it should be 😔 I dunno I just feel super shit now and desperate for a way to ignore the fact I'm trying while carrying on trying 😐 it's all I think about and as soon as I get the obvious pre af symptoms I'm just so sad. Doesn't help me and oh had a fight today all because I asked him to help around the fucking house 🤬
Sorry I just needed to vent 😩😭

LV1987 · 22/06/2020 22:00

@blodyn91 and @Cocoblue22, I came off the pill in December... I then had a really light period in January, nothing in February, a really light one in March which was very stop start stop start, and finally a more "proper" period in April and each month since. So, from my personal experience there is certainly something in the whole "it could take 3-6 months to get the pill out of your system thing." I'm now on month 6 so pleeeeeeease let it be gone now!!

Cocoblue22 · 22/06/2020 22:04

@Missgoldilocks sounds like you're having a rough day. Big hugs 💙 it's literally all I can think about too and I was venting this morning too so we all get how you feel! I'm sure he just doesn't understand most men aren't tuned into woman's emotianal needs and we have to spell it out for them most of the time. Is there any way you can try and take your mind off it a bit. Tbf they could be implantation cramps now af cramps? X

@Mococo1 im so sorry to hear you've been through it twice back to back. I know it won't make you feel better but don't give up you will get your BFP it's just so heartbreaking what you've been through x

I'd at least hoped to see an oestrogen rise by CD14 but nothing 😩 x

Cocoblue22 · 22/06/2020 22:06

In an attempt to be healthier I've eaten much less today and I'm in bed absolutely starving 😩 hate going to bed hungry didn't even have dinner that long ago but it clearly was not filling at all x

Minster2012 · 22/06/2020 22:11

Oh no @Missgoldilocks that's super shit I'm sorry you rowed & you feel he's not supportive. How about just DTD every other day & try to forget about it then?

Franklydear · 22/06/2020 22:15

Wow, I just had the most intense stabbing pain in a side, where I imagine my ovaries would be, lasted a couple of minutes too, I usually get a few days of cramps when ovulation should be, but not this, if regular cycle, ovulation was due yesterday

Franklydear · 22/06/2020 22:18

@LV1987 that makes sense, my periods have all been very just spotting for a day, I stopped the pill mid November...

Mococo1 · 22/06/2020 22:18

@katao thank you I'm all good, it gets easier I'm learning to be strong! I also thought we were born with our egg reserve !? Does everyone mean it takes 4months to get to a state where it can then fully mature? I did a biology degree I should bloody know this 😂

@cocoblue22 oh hun don't starve yourself! And thanks for the kind words 🥰 I'm also shocked at how long depo stays inside you it should come with a warning if you're ttc as it doesn't seem like a short term contraceptive from the sounds of it!

@missgoldilocks vent all you want hun! That's what we're here for to be your emotional support if you aren't getting g enough at home xxx

SmileyT · 22/06/2020 22:20

@Cocoblue22 am I right in thinking you are doing the CB tests? If you're getting a blank circle that doesn't mean you haven't had an oestrogen surge, if you're not using CB just ignore me 🤦🏾‍♀️

@KB13 well hopefully you don't need another month and to worry about tracking 🙌🏾

@KateColx yep he is all done with nights and the EPO and grapefruit juice is doing well for me aswell, here's to a happy fertile week for us both and lucky OH getting a bit of mouth action 😉

@Missgoldilocks ahh I'm so sorry you're feeling shit, I think we all understand your frustration with the situation and OH!! Please vent whenever you want, sometimes I think it helps just to get it all out. Sending you a virtual G&T xx

@Cocoblue22 Boo to going to bed early get some more healthy grains, seeds and loads of protein in your dinner they might help you feel more full up x

@Mococo1 glad this little group has helped in some way during a crappy time xx

blodyn91 · 22/06/2020 22:23

@KateColx This diagram shows it well, so we are all born with our eggs developed up to a stage, then at puperty a few are chosen each month to develop further. This further development can take 120 days. FSH is the hormone that is released to develop them, when on the pill FSH isnt released, so I think my eggs have started developing 2 months ago. Ive only had really light periods so far which sort of matches up. But... during the 7 day brake off the pill, sometimes FSH is released so some eggs do start developing, hence some get pregnant straight away.
Soz for the sciency post 🤓

Venga Bus is back (Bus 8)
Minster2012 · 22/06/2020 22:28

Ass fruit juice for the win all round! God we should all buy shares in the stuff but I do think it works wonders 😂

blodyn91 · 22/06/2020 22:28

*I might not be 100% accurate! Just read a couple of papers. Basically If im not ovulating properly yet Im blaming the pill. If it wasn't for corona I would still be on it till October. So if I end up waiting till April 2021 to TTC, It will be around the time the pill would be totally out of my system with 2020 plans. So makes me feel like corona has helped me understand my body a bit better and much sooner 😄 (trying to stay optimistic here)
