TTC just off the pill buddies

[poppie]

Hi Girls!

Welcome alli and bear

Alli, u said u have pain hun. Where/what does it feel like? Just wondering if it may be ovulation. I experience it on Mon, dull achy back, slightly cramp but pressurised feeling in my womb area and v.bloated. Think it was a sign of ov cos i got a +ve opk on the Sun. Sex felt different too, more sensitive inside tmi!

Bear here's a +ve story. This is for you too Caroline! My friend 31/32 came off the pill sept last year. Fell preg late dec and now is due sep 3rd this year. Similar situation from another friend who is 33. She has a happy and healthy 6month old at the moment. So let's keep +ve that our bodies are going to give us a bundle of joy soon!


Poppi, u still hangin in there this cycle? Here's some dust to keep you going


Wel, think im on the 2ww. Would presume I Ov on mon due to pains etc and the +ve OPK on the sun. So think that makes me on 3dpo? We on sat, sun, mon so Fxd. Goin to test at the end of Aug as long as AF doesn't show before.

On a slightly different/but kinda related note my OH thinks he has a urine infection. Any tips?

Hi Babycakes and all

Yip still hanging in ..... so today AF is 6 days late on my 26day cycle, but only 2 days late if i am changing to a 30 day cycle like last month. I tested on wednesday 18th with FMU but got a BFN.

still no symptoms, except last night i did feel a bit nauseous but trying not to read too much into it....I just wish the would arrive if she is going to come...

to all, hope we all get our BFP soon

Hi ladies
Hope everyone is ok today?
I've had the last 2 days off work to try and get an assignment done for Monday (I'm doing my MSc)... So bored, bored, boired - Oh, and stressed because it's really not going well!!!!

Corina - don't be feeling old - I'm 31 and Bear79 is nearly 31 too

Oooh, fingers crossed for you poppie... you never know - there's a few people on here that have had to wait quite a while after AF was due to get a BFP... don't give up hope until arrives!!!!

for everyone

Thanks Caroline, will wait it out for a while longer if AF doesnt arrive this weekend I will probably test next week.... Im too scared to test again, the BFN are getting to me already

But as everyone on here says as long as the hasnt arrived there is still a shot at BFP....

hope all is going well with you and good luch TTC

Age is a only a number ladies. Well, that's what I say cos there's 12 years btwn myself and OH. But to be honest think I'm more mature than him! lol.

Oh Poppie hold in there girl!!!!! Loads at baby dust to you. Got my Fx'd for you. Well I decided (knowing fine well not to) to POAS dpo 3. I was actually expecting the stick to show a reading saying 'crazy lady'. However, it did satisfy my POAS urge and it was a net cheapy .

Amanda I would love to be as relaxed as you but I'm too much of a control freak

Caroline MSc? Look at you go girl! I don't think I could go back to studying now.

Anybody else feel slightly obsessed with this website?

[Caroline:-)]

I know, I must be mad babaycakes!!!!
My degree bares no relation to the work I do now, so stupidly I thought it'd be a good idea to do my masters, lol... Although work are paying for me to do it they won't let me have day release so I'm having to do it distance learning which really sucks!!! No break/holidays at all - I finish the first year in October and immediately start the second year!!! TBH, it is a complete nightmare considering I'm working full time too and we've been working on our house for the last 1 1/2 years (doing EVERYTHING) so that's no life for me, haha... And, then I go and get addicted to this website too!!! lol... so I'm yet again on here when I'm supposed to be studying... tut, tut... between this and facebook I'm way too distracted!!!!

 

[natalies1982]

hi all
ive had pains all day like tightenings with pressure down below so not sure if its my body getting ready for AF feels weird though

cd 26 now so AF should be due in the next couple of days but i know it wont due to late ov.

good luck to you all xx

 

[Caroline:-)]

Hi girls!
OMG, I am so confused now!!!! I'm CD 6 and I just got a positive OPK!!!! I did 2 just to make sure, lol, and the line is definately darker than the test line... no idea why I'd be ovulating so early?!?!? Maybe it's because my body is still all over the place after BCP?!?!
It's very wierd though, last night I had a dream (strange I know!) about getting EWCM and then this morning I just felt the need to do an OPK about 30 mins ago, when normally I don't do them 'til 5-ish...
Anyway, off to grab DH and BD now just in case it's right!!!!

 

[xsarahbellax]

Hi girls, I'm new here!

I came off the pill at the end of March, so a little earlier than the rest of you I think, but I still have no clue what's going on with my body! I have no idea if/when I'm ovulating. I've been trying to look out for the signs, but to be honest, I'm not sure what I'm looking for!

My cycle has gone from 51 days, to 45, to 33, so I'm making progress! I'm taking Agnus Castus each day & have been to see a Reflexologist, so I don't know if it's thanks to that, or if it would have happened anyway.

It's CD29 today, so just waiting to see when my evil period shows up. Had horrific period pains on CD26 & have a banging headache today, so pretty sure it's coming.

 

[Conina]

Conina, I'm going to make you feel even older now...

Hi all, I'm Amanda and I'm 18. I have a little boy who is coming up 7 months. OH and I have decided to start TTC so Liam can have a little brother/sister. I took my last pill yesterday. My OH is 25 and wants to join the army so we want to have our second child as soon as possible so he can join the army afterwards.

I have no idea about these OPK's you're all talking about, I'm hoping to just relax and let nature happen. I don't mind if I fall pregnant straight away, and don't mind if it takes a little longer.

Good luck all and I hope you all get your BFP's fast!

Thanks for that Amanda

Still not sure where I am in my cycle but if I'm where I think I am AF will be due next w'end. If she arrives it'll be 2 months before we can try as DH will prob be working away next time I O. Ah well still relaxed about it all!!

How's everybody else feeling?

omg gives me hope I bd on cycle day 4 maybe i was actually ovulating and now my stomach feels weird so i guess we'll see!

 

[babycakes1982]

Hey all!

How you doing?

Well I'm now 5dpo. I'm going a bit nuts trying my best not to symptom spot but I can't help myself!!!! Feel a bit sick, kinda full like in my throat usually when I lay down and had v.mild heartburn on and off. But I know this may still be due to BC withdrawal Or maybe I have caught a bug from my stepson. Poor wee soul has been up during the night being sick.

Conina Fx'd that AF wont arrive so you don't have to wait 2months to get the ball rolling again!

Sarahbella, welcome! Have you been using anything to help you track your cycles?

Caroline, I have no clue either but I'm sure it wont harm you to Maybe you didn't ovulate last month and your body is saying 'Let's do this!!!'. Keep us updated!


Speak soon. Until then to all xxx

Hey alli, I haven't had those and I have no idea!! It could be preg symptoms or your body gearing up for AF??? What's your cycle at?

Natalie and Poppie I'm sorry got you!!! But PMA for your new cycle girlies xxx

This 2ww is drivin me nuts not really got any symptoms (7dpo). Obviously I would love to fall pregnant this month (would be excellent timing as my sis is getting married next year) but if AF show then that would be ok. I just wanna know!!!!

and love to all xxx

 

[Caroline:-)]

Hey all
Sorry to hear appeared Poppie and Natalie...
Well Babycakes, you knever know... how long to you think you'll hold out without testing!?!??!
Well, I'm just joining you on the 2ww now! Even though I'm only CD 8!!! I had positive opks on CD6 and 7... a temp dip on CD7, and today a raise in temp... so assuming it rises for another 2 days I think it's safe to say I've ovulated!!! Did you know that even though you get a positive opk, it's not definate that you've ovulated until you get 3 days of temp rises afterwards!??! The things you learn hey? Been putting my details into fertility friend and it doesn't accept a positive opk until you're input your rising temp pattern afterwards... so even though I'm pretty sure I ovulated, I'm gonna bd for another day or 2 just to make sure!!!! I'm just soooo glad I decided to opk and temp because otherwise I'd have completely missed it... I'd never have thought there was any chance of ovulating so early!!!! So take note everyone - if you're not using opks or BBT, make sure you bd for your whole cycle, not just the days they say you'll ovulate!!!!

 

[babycakes1982]

Hey Caroline!

Welcome to the wait. It's killing me!!! I heard bout not being 100% sure you have ovulated by using OPK's alone.

But I'm pretty sure it happened for me at I got a +ve on the Sunday and then the pain came on the Monday! It was really weird I would have thought it was AF coming if I hadn't got a +ve OPK the day before.

Did you feel ovulation? I know not all women do.

Testing..... hmmmm...... I have tbh I did do one the other day knowing fine well it would be a BFN. Dunno hoping to last til 14dpo (sun) as long as AF doesn't arrive. But I'm sure if I get an smidgen of a sympotm before then I'll be POAS! lol

Hi all

Unfortunately the got me on Wed. Ah well first month off the pill it would have been a big ask... And DH will be away next month so October here we come.

One positive, it seems 10 yrs on the BCP has made my cycle start behaving itself - it's gone from 30-40 days to bang on 28!! Will make future planning much easier!

Hi Conina, sorry got you. But that is good news bout your cycle. I'm on CD34, 10 dpo and may have a few symptoms but dunno???? Cos of the pill not sure what is normal for me. If witch doesn't show by Sun think ill test or may hold out til Mon.

You sound +ve hun. Keep up the PMA xxx

Hey all!

Sarahbella, welcome! Have you been using anything to help you track your cycles?

Hey Babycakes!

Well, I used ovulation sticks for 14 days in August, but never got a positive result. Initially I thought either I didn't ovulate, or perhaps I needed to test twice a day to detect the surge. However, I was assuming my cycle was going to continue to regulate, and based my testing on a cycle of between 28 & 33 days. It's now CD34 & no AF, so I'm wondering if I stopped testing too early?

I've just ordered a CBFM so hopefully that'll help me get to grips with what's going on. It's all so confusing & I'm gutted my AF didn't show up when I expected, as I really thought I was making progress with getting my cycle on track!
