@glasspaw - I wasn’t sure if you’d want to come over to our new thread lovely but I thought I’d tag you just incase

I’ve tried to remember everyone! If you notice someone I’ve missed tag them in

Group of 30 somethings TTC baby number 1!
New recruits welcome, nothing is off limits! Trust me 😂

Hi @Eli707 welcome!

So correct me if I’m wrong here, you came off in January but your periods didn’t return until…..March? So (although you may not find this comforting) technically you’ve only been able to try for 3 months? I know that it can take a while for your body to get back into its groove after being on the pill and from what I understand, the first bleed you get after coming off is a withdrawal bleed and then after that is a regular period (correct me if I’m wrong) so if all of that is true, you’re probably literally only just now back to some kind of normal with your body, I don’t know if that’s any kind of comfort to you at all.

If you feel like you need to know, which is perfectly acceptable, NHS guidelines are that over 35 if nothing is happening after 6 months you can go to your GP.
Xx

@HRP1990 pleased to hear 🧙 has been light! What more could you really want when she does show up? 😂

Yeah, I’m glad about it, it’s made me feel a lot calmer about it all. But then again, with 🧙 showing up, it’s quite possible that yesterday I was just emotional and hormonal and therefore, being totally unreasonable 😂

Thanks for welcoming me in 

@Peachycream I suppose you're right - just feels like it's been forever! Plus my last cycle got messed up after my COVID jab which was really frustrating. Would have come off the pill sooner if I'd know it would take so long to get back to normal.

@SkeletonSkins I track bbt using and app so attached screen shot. This is from a couple of moths ago as part way through current cycle and last on was a disaster as mentioned before. I think it looks normal compared to what I've read - 'Impatient Woman's Guide to Getting Pregnant' was brilliant if anyone is looking for something useful to read and not too long either. (Failed to upload picture as I've only just registered - newbies don't have picture privileges!)

@Eli707 I’ve seen loads about the jab messing up people’s cycles, why are we not told that before, during or after having the jab? Why is it something women are just having to figure out for themselves?

For now, I’d try and take some comfort in the idea that your body is just getting back into its own rhythm and then if it’s still not happening in another couple of months talk to your GP if you’re concerned. But like I said, if you feel like this is something you need to discuss now, then absolutely go and do it.

I don’t really have any advice other than that, I was advised a long time ago not to continue with the pill as there were better things out there xx

@Peachycream Thanks - I'm thinking I'll give it until September before seeing anyone about it. My main concern is my age as I'll be nearly 39 by then.

Morning all, I tested first thing this morning but I thinks it's a bfn! So I'm just going to wait for 🧙‍♀️.. either she comes on Wednesday or I havnt built up enough hcg .. so frustrating! The only thing keeping me going is the spotting at 10/11dpo which have never happened in my life.. wish I had more exciting news ❤

Morning Ladies! Hope everyone Is well and have a nice weekend :-) welcome @Eli707 this is a fab supportive group, sending baby dust your way!!

I am about 7/8 DPO today and keep getting small AF cramps on and off and then feel full of cold, can't stop sneezing it's crazy. My face is also really puffy i look like I've gained weight but the scales object to that lol! Hopefully all good signs and not a cold although you can never be sure with our bodies 🤣🤣 xx

I’m hoping the later for you @Dannii892! Let us know if she shows on Wednesday!

Could it be hayfever @Aries491? The cramps sound like a good sign though!!

I love that everyone is at different stages so there’s always a constant update! Hopefully someone is due to join @glasspaw in the BFP group soon ❤️

@HRP1990 Thanks lovely.. ill let you know how I get on ❤

Good luck @Dannii892 :) hopefully she doesn't show!

It could very well be hayfever @HRP1990 just hope it passes today as I'm going out tonight so don't fancy being bunged up haha!

@Aries491 thank you 😊 I'm hoping too! No cramps at all so far and I would usually get mild on off cramps by now I think ❤
Stuffy nose is a symptom I think 🤞

I sent off my 21 day progesterone test today to check that I am ovulating. Wasn't too bad- 2 finger pricks and then just squeeze the blood into a vile to the line then seal, package up and send off. Should know by next Friday if I am ovulating

Morning ladies! 1DPO here so finally in the TWW crew! On the subject of DTD we try to do every other day up to my peak then 2/3 days in a row 😉 It’s roughly the Sperm Meets Egg Plan (SMEP) if anyone’s read up on that?

@Eli707 - welcome to the group! I came off the combined pill in November and I still think my cycles are a bit wonky as I also have a short luteal phase of around 10 days. I’ve ovulated a lot later this cycle in CD22/23 so not sure what’s happening this month as last month I got my peak on CD17. Bodies eh? I’ve also read The Impatient Women’s Guide to Getting Pregnant - I think it’s such a good book ☺️

Good morning all!

Welcome @Eli707 I think it's really common for contraception to mess up your cycles. My nurse told me to come off my contraception over a year ago, we were having a chat and she basically said the guidance is quite fuzzy but she saw a lot of women who were frustrated they didn't stop sooner. Are you taking prenatal supplements? Some people say they've helped their cycles!

Sorry about the bfn @Dannii892 ... it's not over until 🧙‍♀️ shows her ugly face!

@SkeletonSkins typically we do it on the couple of peak days and average every other day on the high fertility days around them. I also try not to talk too much about it with OH because of the pressure.. although this month I definitely had to tell him because it was so hot 😂 😂

@Peachycream i know what you mean about prenatals. I read somewhere that the stuff you eat in the run up is so important, and generally my diet is good.. however most studies show that even healthy diets are usually short on some key vitamins folate/vit d/calcium... and I'm definitely having less calcium since smelly cheese ban!

@HRP1990 I'm glad it's been light :) have you had lots of good food?? Xx

Oooo fingers crossed @Dannii892 🤞🤞

Right brill thanks everyone for the DTD advice 😂 Now I’m after OPK advice - I know these are still negative but would you test again later today to see if it rises again?

@KayL1988 I’m not sure if it’s the food, the supplements or what but 🧙🏻‍♀️ was super light! My skin is also really good at the moment so long may it continue! Lots of greens, fish abit of red meat (cheese) etc

Looks like it slowly rising @SkeletonSkins I’d do 2 a day if you’ve got alot of OPK’s just encase you miss your peak!

@KayL1988 been taking Prenacare prenatal vitamin and omega 3 since Jan - hopefully it's making a difference

@SkeletonSkins

Oooo fingers crossed *@Dannii892* 🤞🤞

Right brill thanks everyone for the DTD advice 😂 Now I’m after OPK advice - I know these are still negative but would you test again later today to see if it rises again?

Cd 12 is really darkening so at this point I would test more than once a day as my surge comes on quickly and is short so I could miss it. I would recommend doing it more than once from day 12 I case you ov early and miss it

It probably is even if you are not necessarily 'feeling it' iykwim

Thanks ladies.. I appreciate the luck! Hope we all have something to celebrate real soon ❤

So get this ladies, 🧙 seems to be stopping, hasn’t even been 24 hours of flow……….any help? I’m freaking out that something is wrong with me 😣

I’d give it a few days @Peachycream encase 🧙🏻‍♀️ comes out in force tomorrow! Mine has been different this month but I don’t think it would be anything to worry about? X

@HRP1990 I don’t know? I googled and I wish I hadn’t 😂 I’m sure you’re right and it’s nothing. Thing is, I have no reason why it would be any different, ive done nothing differently. Xx

@Peachycream It couldn’t be implantation bleeding could it? Deffo 🧙🏻‍♀️?
