Hope ye are all doing well ladies. I am now out for this month really hoping now next month will work out.

I am sorry we didn't start trying months ago. Good luck to anyone waiting to test in February. Hope ye got BFP! @Nyxxie @FourOclock @PinkButtercups. I can't tag the other February users for some reason.

@QueenBee22 sorry it didn’t work out this month sending lots of good vibes 🤗

Hopefully soon @QueenBee22, I’ve a feeling I’ll regret waiting too

Hi all.

When do you start tracking ovulation after a miscarriage.

Do I have to wait until my next period and then start tracking after that? I'm thinking of using the clear blue ovulation tests.

Thanks in advance x

@QueenBee22 sorry to hear that. Sending hugs! Fingers crossed for next month for you

@Beautyangel1 I'm so sorry for your loss. I started tracking ovulation once bleeding had stopped when I miscarried my second pregnancy at 6 weeks. My cycles came back very quickly and I ovulated 3 weeks after miscarriage (counting first day of bleeding as day 1)

In other news.... FINALLY got my period. DH thinks I'm barmy as it's the first time ever I've been happy to see my period 😂 7.5 weeks since I came off the pill. Going to start to track and hopefully will ovulate this cycle and things will get back to normal!

Sorry you are out this month Queen but fingers crossed for this cycle!

So sorry for your loss Beauty

Great news winging!

We finally sorted out the logistics for the reversal. ILs are going to do all the driving in one day as DH wants to be in his own bed after rather than a hotel. ILs say they will do anything if there is the possibility of another grandchild. SIL has recently announced that she doesn't want to have children and BIL is showing no interest at present.

@WingingIt09 finally 🥳🤣

@WingingIt09 🥳🥳

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all well.

I stopped taking the mini-Pill around two weeks ago. No withdrawal bleed yet… Fingers crossed I can start testing mid-March (unless the withdrawal bleed comes before that!)

Counting down the periods, 4 left to go! This is the first month I’ve felt not too sad when my period came because 4 periods seems not that many to go.

@NoirAustral welcome. I've waited 7.5 weeks for my first bleed after coming off my pill. Hopefully yours doesn't take that long!

@NarnieJoy that's a good way to look at it - doesn't sound that long when you count it like that. I've got max 3 to go, maybe less depending on how long my cycles are now.

@Vasectomyreversalhopeful that's exciting to have the logistics sorted!

@Beautyangel1 sorry for your loss, mine cycle went immediately back to normal so no need to wait to track.

@WingingIt09 great news, I bet it felt like an age waiting!

Exciting @Vasectomyreversalhopeful , how do you feel having shared your ttc plans with real life people?

That's a good way of looking at it! I think u have 4 left 😆

@HippeePrincess I mean did you wait for your period to come? Or did you start trying before it came?

@Beautyangel1 no I didn’t

Didn’t wait I mean, just carried on, although in hindsight a break might have been better for my body

Morning ladies, we've decided we are going to start trying in July and I can't tell you how excited I am. I've just turned 35 and my partner is 49. He has a 20 year old so initially it was 'nope I don't want anymore'. After 5 years together he's changed his mind 😁

I have started multivitamins and trying to shift a few pounds in readiness but I'll be honest all this ovulation tracking etc is a little daunting. Any tips or advice are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance ❤️

Hi @Tanners22 welcome! There are a few ladies also trying to get a few pounds off, I’m doing running and no snacks. Planning to track my cycles for the moment through bbt and then practice tracking ov in June before we start in July. Just looked at my apps today and it’s predicting I’ll be in my FW first week of July, which would be a lot of pressure!

Hi @tanners22 I'm also trying to lose a few pounds ...unsuccessfully 😅 just started couch to 5k and I'm trying to just cut out unnecessary eating 😬

I don't think you necessarily need to do ovulation tests etc it probably depends on how much ypu want to know if you're at the right point in your cycle. I'm doing then this time because I think I ovulate slightly later in my cycle than average and have also given myself a small window to conceive 😂

Today my first real post pill period has arrived 🥳 so I'm taking it as a positive thing as its one less period until we start trying and also starting to get back to a more normal cycle, I hope!

The cramps though 😫

@NarnieJoy @Dreamingof3
Thanks ladies much appreciated.
I think because of the age we both are I want to conceive as soon as possible so knowing exactly when I'm ovulating will hopefully give us the best chance, fingers crossed.
Half a stone down and another half to go so at least I know I'm physically in a good place. Off to the doctors for a full mot next month too, just to make sure we're both fit and healthy.
It's exciting isn't it knowing that you this to look forward to. How are you both finding things?Xx

Hi @tanners22 welcome to the thread

@wingingit09 great news, so pleased for you.

At this rate I wish I was on the pill. I managed to book an appointment to get my coil removed at the local family planning clinic for 30th March. However now just found out today that the most important work meeting ever is scheduled for that day which I can't miss. Trying to get a new appointment and I might be waiting a long time as can't get through to them on the phone. I have also tried my GP (I tried there first) but I have rung my GP three times trying to get an appointment and they just keep saying they will ring me back and then don't. Latest today was they will ring me back but it will likely be Wednesday next week. Whhhhyyyy.

Hi @Tanners22 - welcome :)

My implant is out! Natural Cycles has been downloaded, the OPK strips have arrived. I’m all set. (Still hoping for a May BFP and not before, just tracking to check when ovulation is after so long on hormones)

Oh Lucy that's so frustrating

@Tanners22 welcome the the thread :)

@LucyLoopyLu that's frustrating, hopefully you get an appointment soon!

How are the ladies actively trying getting on? Anyone testing soon? Xx
