Post Pill TTC - Still Partying

[MintGreenLife]

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 :)

@TheHotelCalifornia ah CD1 sucks hairy b*lls as they said over on the other thread I'm on. I'm sorry AF showed so early but your positives are fantastic and I think it'll just be onwards and upwards from here!

9DPO and I've not caved to test yet - first cycle I think that I've been able to resist the urge to POAS!

@Flowerbudd I hope Pregnancy is treating you well. I am 5 +5 today and indigestion is eating away. Can't stomach sweet foods at the moment. It is all about the savoury. I bought Mac and cheese for my lunch 🤤😂

Hi ladies. Sorry I’ve missed a fair bit by the looks of it. I haven’t had notifications For this thread for a while!

Do many of you use ovulation apps?

I’m using 3 but one says I’m in my fertile window now and the other two say next week.

I know I shouldn’t go by this alone but was hoping they would all be similar.

Do you find them useful?

@Tillybabs I find Premom the most accurate, it’s useful for uploading your OPKs aswell if you use them!

@Trying4one So far so good, 4weeks+1 today so very early still.
Ooh yum! Enjoy the mac and cheese, one of my faves!!

@Flowerbudd fingers crossed for you. I will say prepare yourself that one day you no longer like the foods that you liked the day before. I still love the taste of orange squash but my stomach is having non of it. Having to stick to lemon squash as it is slightly sour 😂
Fingers crossed to everyone on their 2ww

@Tillybabs I use femometer for the opks and FF for temping. Both are fairly accurate in predicting FW for me, although FF gives fewer fertile days.

@Juno231@ChinChilly thank you I will try those

I got over excited and did an opk on cd7 and it’s not completely white- hopefully this means I won’t have such a long cycle this time 😅

@Sperr amazing!! I long for the day I get anything on a bloody OPK! Im CD10 so going to start testing twice a day

@AMS19 fingers crossed for you! I think I’m just going to do one a day until day 10 like you. My OH is actually away for a night next weekend so hopefully I don’t miss my peak! I doubt it will be perfectly on time though 😂

I've blow dried my hair straight, painted my nails and actually put on a bra for the first time in forever. My husband just asked what was going on. I didnt tell him it was baby conceiving time 😂😂😂

@AMS19 I love that! I might have to try that approach from tomorrow (I write this wearing old leggings, hair up in a messy bun and no make up) 🤣

So this afternoon I’ve had some white discharge, quite thick abit egg whitey, but im 2DPO so not sure if it fertile CM..anyone had anything like this?

Oh I'm still in the leggings @Sperr I'm not that desperate for a baby to have to wear proper clothes 😂😂

Anyone on the group suffer with ovulation pains?

I’m getting pains in my left side lower abdomen. Suffered a migraine yesterday which I don’t usually suffer with and also felt abit nauseous.

I wondered if it might be Ovulation pains as I have had EWCM today and also had it a few day’s ago and I’m CD15 today.

@Moocher90 yes I get ov pains!

Sorry all I hadn't had any notifications from the thread which is why I've been MIA!

Feeling super tired today with a weird ache mid left side. AF is here but quite strange looking - she is quite watery when I'm normally like a waterfall (sorry tmi!). Don't know wether to POAS or not as the one I did on Tuesday was a BFN. Birthday weekend celebrations begin tonight so hoping that'll distract me!

Happy weekend all!❤️❤️

Thanks @mrsmacmc. What symptoms do you usually get just the pain on the side or other symptoms? X

@Moocher90 not a problem pain in side with a wee bit of nausea, spotting and feeling 'woozy' it's very odd. I get it worse on my left side but think that's because I had a large cyst removed 6 years ago 🤷‍♀️ ❤️

@Moocher90 I get ovulation pains, The last 2 cycles I’m pretty sure I could actually feel which side I ovulated from

@ChinChilly and @mrsmacmc thanks for the input it’s appreciated. This is my first proper cycle as such since coming off pill as didn’t get a withdrawal bleed and technically due a period in around 2 weeks time if I have a 28-30 day cycle this month. I will keep monitoring my BBT and see if temp rises enough to suggest I’ve ovulated. Will just have to continue to DTD to cover all basis! X

For those taking EPO until ovulation what dosage have you been taking? I have taken 1000mg daily from CD1-15 so far should I be taking more?

@moocher90 I think 1000mg daily is plenty - it worked for me!

@Kay00 I’ve just read people take 1500mg+ so was concerned I might not be taking enough

I'm taking 1000mg! And it definitely helped, well for one day, havent had any since
