Sorry mamadonna

CD1 today as the has shown her face. Course I knew she was on her way as I tested negative on the 18th and again yesterday At least I know I ovulated and that there's nothing seriously wrong (I think my confusion earlier this month was because I was misinterpreting the OPK's rather than there being a slew of positive OPKs, I now understand better what counts as a positive and what doesn't). So hopefully we'll have a better chance next cycle... My next testing day is predicted to be the 21st, which is two days after my 28th bday... at this point I'm not very hopeful that I'll be getting a BFP for my birthday. Just feeling blah.

Hi Ladies

Hope you dont mind me writing in this forum... I'm new to all of this & after a bit of advice

My partner & I after TTC after years of being on the BCP.

I fell pregnant last year whilst on the pill but had a miscarriage. However this time we are TTC asap

I took my last pill a couple of weeks ago & had what i thought was my first period on 9th August. This last for a few days (as normal) and i was expecting to ovulate this week. However yesterday I started bleeding again, like another period.

Is this my actual first period after coming off the pill? Does it mean i wont ovulate this week and that my ovulation period should be in approx 14 days?

Any help/advice/support would be great

Thanking you xxx

It sounds to me like your body may still be adjusting to coming off the BCP. If the flow is heavy (like a period, as you indicated) then yea I would consider it day 1. Some spotting as your hormones even back out can be expected, but having a heavy flow can't be indicative of ovulation or implantation bleeding. I hope things sort themselves out for you soon and you get your BFP! Welcome to the forums!

My best advice would be to look into recording your BBT (temperature upon first waking up, same time every day after at least 3 hours sleep) or perhaps grabbing some inexpensive OPK's (Ovulation Predictor Kits) to help take some of the mystery away from what's going on with your body.

I know it's really overwhelming when you first start (it took me two cycles to start to understand and even now I still make mistakes and think my body is doing one thing when I'm completely wrong) but it really helps to at least have the illusion of knowing what you're doing

Good luck and baby to you!

Wish i could help hun, these ladies will though i'm sure! i havne't been on bc since 2009 so i don't remember! But i recommend you chart (at least keep track of period and so forth) so you can get an idea of your cycle, as it could take a bit to get normal!! i'm also so sorry for your loss

Thank you Kuawen!!!

I will consider today to now be CD2 and look forward to monitoring it going forward. Ekkkk exciting!!!!

 

[Kayless]

Thank you mommy of one!! I'm pretty sure now that this is my first actual AF as its so soon! I'm super excited and really hope i fall soon

thanks for the response girls i really aprpeciate the support xxx

@mommyxofxone: we might be ovulating around the same time this cycle. I'm CD 11 now, but I don't ovulate until somewhere between CD 16 and CD 22, expecting it to be slightly on the later end due to crazy sleep deprivation, etc. while away the last 4 days.

@Lilly: FX this is your month - we need an August BFP and it's only fair that it be our leader's!

race you to the bfp?!

Race is ON! And I SOOOO hope this cycle is it, want to move on from TTC already!

@Kayless: what you have is exactly what just happened last month to a friend of mine on here right off BCPs. Consider the first day of bright red a new cycle start and start looking for signs of ovulation a week or more afterwards. Do you remember how long your cycles were, when not on BCPs? It's OK if you don't, but helpful if you know what your normal should be. I was on hormonal contraception for so long I had no idea, but now know my cycles like clockwork.

@Kuawen: I'll keep my FX for your birthday BFP!

 

[LillyTame]

mamadonna & Kuawen - Sorry to hear AF got you ladies

I'm in limbo! I started brown spotting yesterday, I have no idea why because I don't usually do this before AF (although I did when I 1st stopped depo but even then I would have some red by the end of the day) So I don't know what's going on. Hoping it's IB But I have this feeling AF is just toying with me

 

[LillyTame]

This month has just been no good to us ladies! I'm ready to chuck it and turn us into a September thread!

 

[mamadonna]

Well I'm ready for September,bring on the

 

[ClandestineTX]

I'll have a September testing date, as soon as I confirm ovulation (hopefully within the next week). And I'm going to be on this thread with you, Lilly - no matter what - until you get your BFP!
