Please add anybody I've missed off!

@Robyn101 OMG!!! I see it!!!

@Juno231 thanks for the advice! I'd better warn OH 😂

@Tillybabs sorry AF is on the way 😞

@MissC07 I’d mark both days as + of FF

@Juno231 interesting about IVF being cheaper in Copenhagen! We definitely get stung for the price of private medical in the UK

@Robyn101 I definitely see that 👀 congratulations 🎉

@Robyn101 congratulations I definitely see it 😃

Thankyou @MissC07 @ChinChilly @Tillybabs I’m just in complete and utter shock, I’ve been more preoccupied with my messed up cycles that I just assumed my symptoms were PMS related. Only tested because it was the day to test according to FF

@Robyn101 I think I remember you having a long cycle? You must be and congrats again!

If you don’t mind and when you get a chance, please give us a summary of your journey. When you came off the pill etc xx

@MissC07 Yes, both! And if in doubt... jump that man!

@Juno231 @ChinChilly I honestly haven't even ovulated since you said we have three cycles to have a 2021 baby I agree... i'd be happy to just get pregnant by Christmas... or even just to ovulate at this point!

I just watched the first episode of a BBC documentary about surrogates ... left me very worried that I left TTC until too late in my life... hopefully not!

@Robyn101 OMG!! I totally see it!!

@Robyn101 omg yes! beautiful line too! FF never tells me to test that early lol - it clearly had confidence in your chart . What did your temp do this morning btw? and have you told OH already?

@ChinChilly yeah and flights to Copenhagen from London are normally dirt cheap (I often have return flights for £60) so I'm definitely considering this for the summer.

Thankyou @Kay00 and @juno231

@juno231 just looking actually, if I take today’s test back off FF it says ‘1’ so I imagine it wanted me to test tomorrow but hey I’ve always been impatient 😂 Temp went back up a touch this morning and RHR went up another one to 66 (I’m normally in the 50s during period etc). Yep told OH more because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing he’s thrilled but we both know it’s crazy early just hoping for a sticky bean now

@Tillybabs of course here’s how I’ve got here.

I was on the pill (cilest most recently) for a good 10+ years with minimal breaks. Stopped taking them August 20, Withdrawal bleed 7 days after and then a whopping 137 day cycle which took me through to Jan 10th. I started taking Seven seas TTC in December and ovulated by 30th december, possibly coincidence? (Ov CD127 - 10 day luteal

This cycle has been up and down started Jan 10th, Taking seven seas TTC and vitamin D.
3 seperate periods of EWCM on CD17, CD30 and CD36 (FF gave me crosshairs and took them away on CD30)

finally ovulated on CD55. DTD O-2, O-1, O and O+2 (knackered after that 😂)

Today is 10DPO and a positive on a FRER with FMU

Symptom wise:
Headaches: 3,4,8 DPO
Twinges: 2,3 DPO
Fatigue: 7,8 DPO
Back ache: 8;9,10

Thinking back I’ve been feeling a bit bloated but just assumed PMS

I can’t make head no tail of my cycles, the length or what’s been going on so I’m just praying this beans sticky

Better picture of post Ov (cycles that bloody long it just blurs!)

@Robyn101 ha I wondered why you cropped the charts for us but hadn't realised how long they were! I was on Cileste as well actually :) Really glad your long cycle ended up with a bfp. Got everything crossed it's a sticky bean xx

Wow that’s some long cycles you’ve had! So you only really had one proper period and now the BFP

Yes I know that feeling of feeling knackered after DTD lol although it was more my partner than me!

But it was worth it for you 😃

@Juno231 haha I really test FF to its limits stretching out graphs 😅

@Tillybabs Yep! So one ‘period’ after my withdrawal bleed and now a BFP just a hell of a lot of time inbetween waiting around. Madness really I’ve been off the pill for 7 months but only had two ‘cycles’ as such

@Robyn101 congratulations 🎉 hoping it's a sticky bean for you 🤞🏻

So called Dr for results of swabs taken last week which are all normal and nothing noted against them. CD21 here so will know in 5 days if anything happening. Waiting on my ultrasound appt coming through but was able to register for my COVID vaccine this morning as that's them opened it up to unpaid Carers. I reiterated my request to ensure my file was coded as a carer when I called Dr for results. Apparently I'll hear in 72hrs. Mum had her 1st dose on Saturday and only side effects she's had are a headache, tender arm and sleeping for Britain.

Hope everyone's Monday is short ❤️

@mrsmacmc Ooh, good news about your Covid vaccine!

@Robyn101 Thanks for sharing your journey! Those are some crazy long cycles. Just goes to show, you are still nice and fertile on a long cycle if you can catch your ovulation

I called my GP today and have an appointment booked for 07:30-08:30 tomorrow morning - fingers crossed for a referral - eek!

@Robyn101 aaahh congrats! Great line for 10dpo! Really hope this is a sticky bean for you 😊 thank you for sharing your story!

@Kay00 really hope they refer you! Odd you GP didn't do it before though and wanted another call.

@mrsmacmc good news about your swabs and vaccine!

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. I celebrated at the weekend, but with it being like it is, it wasn't much of a celebration. My friend had her 30th last month so we will celebrate properly together when we can 🥂💃 but I had a lovely day anyway, my OH definitely spoilt me.

@Robyn101 amazing news!!! congrats!!

Congratulations @Robyn101! Wishing you all the best for a sticky bean.

Over here I'm back to spotting. So 1 day spotting, 1 light bleed, 2 days spotting

Had Covid19 vaccine #1 (AZ) yesterday and didn't really have any side effects - little headache last night and tired this morning but I'm always tired. No fever this morning. Went hiking this afternoon (day off) so can't be that impacted!

Testing for APS is this Friday but unlikely to hear results for a v long time.

Thankyou @mrsmacmc - good that you’re getting your covid jab booked and done

@Kay00 Thankyou! It definitely made the OPK everyday routine I was doing worth it (think the OH thought I was crazy at numerous points). Got everything crossed for your referral

Thanks @flowers222 glad you had a nice birthday

Thankyou @abi55

Thankyou @TheDaydreamBelievers good to hear the vaccine didn’t have too many side effects for you

Hello everyone hope you don't mind me joining :) I'm probably too early to post here so please do tell me to bog off if I am ha ha! Today is my first day off the pill. I've been on some form of pill for about 12 years and basically haven't had a period since then! Super nervous about having periods again so really hoping I get pregnant quickly!! Ha ha I think the thing that scares me the most is not knowing when it'll start or if there will be a withdrawal bleed, so reading these types of threads has been really helpful :)

Will be properly starting TTC literally on the 1st April ha ha!!

@Gracie2021 thank you! I’m not feeling too hopeful as nothing feels different to normal ya know? So sorry about AF. Lately I tend to have a cry when AF arrives and a morning of feeling SO sorry for myself and then get over it and onto the next cycle. I hope you’re pampered yourself today or eaten lots of chocolate or something!

@Robyn101 Omg!! Huge congrats!! Such a clear line 😍 amazing news. Hope it goes well for you ❤️

@Kay00 hope the appointment goes well and they refer you.

@Juno231 sorry about cycle 16 😔 it’s hard isn’t it. Hopefully your appointment gives you some solutions or cheaper ivf in Copenhagen is great!

@Kat668 welcome! Hope your cycles return quickly. ☺️

@Kat668 welcome - pull up a chair ❤️

@Flowers222 @Kay00 @Robyn101 thank you a wee slice of getting back to a semblance of normality.

@TheDaydreamBelievers hope APS testing goes ok on Friday 🤞🏻❤️❤️

@kat668 Welcome! It seems a lot of ladies have quite light periods when they first come off the pill 😊 don't let my 8 days and counting beast of a period put you off 🤣 it's exciting that you have made the decision to start TTC!

@thedaydreambelievers good luck for Friday... do you need to do anything to prepare?

I have successfully reintroduced lactose into my diet (after excluding it as part of the FODMAP diet)... which means I'll be hitting the milk chocolate pretty hard for the rest of the week 🙌😋
