No idea how we managed to smash through 1,000 messages (40% of them are probably me anyway, ha!) in such a short space of time, but a new thread is needed for the post pill TTC party, so here it is...

Tag anyone I've forgotten please, and new party-goers always welcome :)

Welcome @ftm94! Yes, those could have been ovulation pains and sensitive nipples and weeing a lot can be the result of some crazy hormone 😆 i would give it a week or so then test... if it was ovulation did you do the deed around then??

AMS19 · 20/10/2020 10:40

@Juno231 you really are the TTV wizard! You should become a consultant and charge for your services! 😂😂 CD7 for me, I'm going to start OPK testing today. Super early I know but given it is my first clean cycle I'm keen to get a decent baseline. No signs anything is happening unsurprisingly as it is still very early days, but I miss doing my little pee tests each day, is it like doing the lottery!

AMS19 · 20/10/2020 10:40

@Juno231 TTC*

MancMama39 · 20/10/2020 10:47

Nothing to report here, no breakthrough bleed or anything but it's still early days.

Am becoming a bit obsessive about the opks, just want to see a second line so badly!!! Just faint though for now.

Good luck 2wwers hoping for good news for you.

Sperr · 20/10/2020 11:33

@FTM94 we are really close in dates! I had my withdrawal bleed about a week before you- I just got my real AF this weekend if that helps! I also massively thought I was pregnant after about 3 weeks off stopping the pill because my symptoms were so weird (massive boobs, bloated, everything) but it literally just stopped one day- I’m sure it’s the hormones leaving your body!

FTM94 · 20/10/2020 11:41

@Kay00 we did a couple of times but if I am honest I think we would have missed prime time! Not a biggie as we wasn't even planning to start 'trying' until next month so it would have been a bonus if anything did happen. Just so eager for AF to come so we can get the ball rolling. I am way to impatient for this!!

@Sperr I was also convinced until I read here 🙈 hopefully we are similar and mine comes within the next week 🤞🏼 it's nice to follow the journey with someone (hopefully) so close to me in the cycle xx

Sperr · 20/10/2020 12:40

@FTM94 I forgot to say I was on microgynon as well so we are really similar! I’m quite excited to properly track everything this month!

Juno231 · 20/10/2020 13:15

@AMS19 haha I genuinely have randoms tagging me in BBT queries on other threads somehow cause they've seen me around for so long... It's a sad state of affairs really!

MintGreenLife · 20/10/2020 15:14

aww thanks @TheHotelCalifornia we've put an offer in on the backup house now, so hopefully this one works out! Waiting to hear back at the mo. At least you're around half way through the TWW now, do you think you'll test early? I'm only CD7 here so not much happening. I'm very distracted by house stuff at the mo to be honest. Am taking a new cocktail of supplements though, so hopefully something works and I ovulate nice and early! x

Flowerbudd · 20/10/2020 15:40

@MintGreenLife Ooh fingers crossed on the house offer, thats super exciting ☺️

@FTM94 Hey and welcome :) i hope your AF arrives soon for you so you can start tracking, good luck in your journey!!

Juno231 · 20/10/2020 16:38

@MintGreenLife ooh best of luck on the backup house!

Kay00 · 20/10/2020 17:30

@mintgreenlife exciting you have put in an offer! Hopefully it is accepted 🤞

Moocher90 · 20/10/2020 19:46

Just catching up with messages. I’m CD11 today and hoping to ovulate soon! Had some EWCM today
@Flowerbudd congrats on the BFP!

ChinChilly · 20/10/2020 19:50

CD14....just had a ‘high’ OPK reading on premom and peak on femometer...wonder if my peak will be tomorrow or later on tonight, my peak seems to come and go pretty quickly as it was only reading as low at lunch time! DTD last night plan to DTD tonight and tomorrow maybe the day after just to cover all bases!

MintGreenLife · 20/10/2020 20:25

@Juno231 @Kay00 @Flowerkm it got rejected and then we were told that even if we increased it they wouldn't consider accepting it for two weeks, as someone else viewed today and wants to go back with their wife who's out the country for two weeks, so they're not going to accept any offers until they've been back 🤦🏻‍♀️ We're not in a position to wait around and see what happens. Honestly feel like everything is going wrong for me right now 🙄 I'm probably being melodramatic, but really feeling pretty low about everything right now. Think I'm going to give in to some wine 😭

OP posts:
FTM94 · 20/10/2020 20:29

@Flowerbudd thank you! Congratulations on your BFP, I hope all goes well x

ChinChilly · 20/10/2020 20:56

@MintGreenLife that’s ridiculous, what if she comes back, views it and doesn’t like it, then they’ve wasted 2 weeks?! God how annoyingn....I get how you’re feeling sometimes it feels like it doesn’t rain, it pours 😞

Flowerbudd · 20/10/2020 21:12

@FTM94 @Moocher90 Thank you both 

@Moocher90 sounds good, hope ovulation happens soon :)

@ChinChilly ooh sounds promising and all bases sound covered 🤞🏻

@MintGreenLife Thats ridiculous?? What is wrong with people, do they not want to sell it?
I hope you're ok, deffo have some wine and i really do hope things start to feel better Thanks

AMS19 · 20/10/2020 21:13

@MintGreenLife sorry to hear, totally shitty. I honestly think the tides are going to change for you soon lovely, try and stay positive! We had our offer on our dream flat rejected, and even when we went in with higher they said no and went with another buyer. We searched high and low for another one but nothing compared. Then 3 months later, 30mins before the seller and buyer were going to exchange the buyer pulled out. Estate agent rung us before he even told the seller to see if we were still interested. We offered £12k less (given we got rejected i felt the need to be a bit cheeky) and it was accepted and moved in to the flat 8 weeks later. We had completely given up hope and I'm sat here now in the flat....have faith ❤

MintGreenLife · 20/10/2020 21:46

@ChinChilly haha I know, absolutely no logic behind it at all 🤦🏻‍♀️ Ah it really does feel like that sometimes doesn't it! I've put on Bridget Jones (the first one) and poured myself a glass of wine to try and cheer myself up! Bridget is my go to when feeling rubbish 😂

Thanks @Flowerbudd sorry I keep using your old tag! Vino is on the go and feeling a bit better now.

@AMS19 awh that's a good success story! We hadn't pulled out of the other property as weren't going to until we had an offer accepted on something else, so we're going to peruse the original property as far as we can for now, despite all the major issues. In the mean time we will keep looking just in case something else pops up, but secret hope the optional property works out as it is our dream home. Hopefully over the next few days things will move along and we will be a bit clearer as to whether it'll be possible to go ahead with it. We've set out some terms and need to book additional surveys, so will see 🤞🏼

Bloody periods are driving me insane, it was 42 days last month and I'm pretty sure I know when I ovulated this month because I've started to track my temperature and I had a temperature spike but here we are again..40 days so far and nothing. Think I'm going to buy some ovulations sticks to help know when I actually do cause I can't be doing with this...it's stressing me out far too much!

Kay00 · 20/10/2020 22:46

@mintgreenlife... wow, how odd, if I was selling and I had a good solid offer then I would accept it, esp. When the viewing is 2 x weeks is no guarantee of a sale! I certainly think you should look into the 1st property again... how soon can they get rid if the knott weed? And how likely is it really to flood, has it flooded before?

ChinChilly · 20/10/2020 22:52

@MintGreenLife some people are unbelievable! Oh that sounds good! I do love Bridget Jones Diary and the first one is definitely the best one!

mrsmacmc · 20/10/2020 23:07

I'm out this month ladies - AF has decided to make her appearance. Feel really stupid as some months in my early 20's I'd pray for AF to come groan now I wish she wouldn't. Round 6 lets see what happens!

AMS19 · 21/10/2020 07:24

@mrsmacmc 👎👎👎 here is hoping the next one is a lucky one ❤
