TTC just off the pill buddies

[alli.s]

have any of you had this yet? ive been getting bad cramps for the past few days sore sore back and heartburn.. i just feel different stomach is bloated ahhh so confusing maybe i got pregnant when i BD a week ago

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

i was at cd 11 i think :S i'm now at supposed OV day and i BD yesterday morning so i'm hopeful!

 

[Caroline:-)]

Hey! Where's everyone gone?!?!?! No posts on here for a couple of days!
Hope everyone is good
So babycakes? Did you test yet?!?!? Keep us updated!!!
And Alli, did you test yet?!!?
Conina, sorry about but yay for 28 day cycle!

I'm currently 6DPO, FF finally recognised my O day today as being CD8! I was kinda confused as to why it wasn't recognised earlier, but it has been now so feel a bit better about it all!!! So yeah, just waiting 'til I can test now... going to try and hold out as long as I can, but can't see me getting past 10DPO without testing

 

[alli.s]

nope i told myself i ill not test until sept 23!! because i know i will be late cause pill will mess up my cycle.. if AD isnt here by then, well i'll be testing. Had really bad cramps last night, weird cramps not AF so i think something good may be happening! i keep pressing on my tummy and it still feels sore but i put heating pad on last night and it helped

 

[babycakes1982]

Hey alli, I admire your willpower hun.

Well here's an update got me today. Mixed feelings bit dissappointed for obvious reason but happy that AF has come so that I'm now on a pill free cycle if that makes sense? Makes my luteal phase bout 12 days. What do you guys think is that ok?


Hope everyone is good xxxx


P.S Caroline what is the actual date ure goin to test? Fx'd for you xxxx

 

[alli.s]

haha thanks! sorry she got you but like you said your pill free now!

 

[squeal]

I'm CD14 now, we've been BD since CD9. I will probably wait until I get my AF as I'm not hopeful of getting a BFP straight away, however, if it's been ages and nothing then I might test at the start of October after I get back from holiday, but I suspect I will get my first real AF anyway so I will just wait it out.

How is everyone else?

I haven't a clue if I have O or not

Hope everyone is okay.

Hey Jax,

My Af came bout 5 weeks after my last pill. Don't know bout your pill but did you not get a withdrawal bleed on it?

Don't think any of us has got a BFP yet? But there are a few on 2ww just now. How you gettin on ladies????

Well I'm going to have a moan. MY FACE IS LIKE A DOT TO DOT!!!! Anyone else got more spots after BCP? Any tips to get rid of them?


xxxxxx

 

[xsarahbellax]

Well, AF got me today, CD39 So much for getting my cycle back on track. Thought I was making progress, but just feel really disheartened about it now.

With regards to the spots babycakes, yes, me too. Though I was on Dianette initially for my skin. I tried to come off it in the past but just couldn't cope with the breakouts, so gave in & went back to it. Just have to deal with them now though, as it's (hopefully) baby making time!! I've started to use a range of products by Murad. Pricey, but hopefully worth it, as nothing else has worked so far.

 

[Caroline:-)]

Sorry got you babycakes, but yeah, at least you're on a pill-free cycle now - I felt exactly the same when I got my first 'real' af. It's just a relief that you've got your af when you hear about people who don't get one for months after the pill! No real date I've decided on to test... might get a cheapie in a couple of days (I'm 8dpo now) even though I know I should wait longer really!!!
Sorry got you too sarah
And hiya Jex

 

[JaxBlackmore]

Hiya all - thanks for the welcome!

No no withdrawal bleed, no nothing except for feeling huge!! I feel bloated all the time! No extra spots yet but i'll wait for them...!

Morning!

Just a quick question. When are you guys not so regularly ? I've been trying to :se every other day since CD9, when would you suggest to stop doing this as obviously you're fertile for only a certain period of time, do you think CD23 would be more than enough time? Obviously we'd still after this but just maybe not so regularly.

How is everyone also? I'm CD17 at the moment, tbh can't say I've noticed any CM or anything so not sure if I have O or not. Will just have to wait and see at the end of the month if I get an AF or not!

Is anyone planning on testing soon?

I think I should have my first real AF on 13th September IF I have a 28 day cycle, which may be unlikely. I go on holiday on 25th so if I haven't had it by then I think I will take a test on holiday with me and do it during that.

to all!

Hi ladies,
I'm on CD7 and like you Squeal have no idea when and how often I should be I think from tonight every other night then around CD10-CD14 everynight??
I really hope I ovulate this month. This is my second month off the pill so hope my body has adjusted?
I don't have any OPK or monitor or anything so just looking for change in CM and counting days really? I'm worried if I get too serious I might drive myself nuts and get too obsessed??
Good luck everyone lots of to us all!

Caroline can't wait to hear your results!

 

[squeal]

Oh I know, it's a nightmare. I didn't want to every night as I'm sure I read somewhere that the sperm isn't as healthy or is just better quality if you give it a day or so. Someone correct me if I am wrong? I'm not bothering with OPKs or temping etc ... not yet anyway, I will give it a month or so.

 

[babycakes1982]

Hey girls, I'm on CD5 still got vv.light af. Hoping it will be away by tomorrow.

The thing. Well my OH had a urine infection so after I Ovd last cycle and btwn AF we have done it once! When af goes just goin to Bd when we feel like it (prob ev 2-3days) then when I get a +ve OPK/more CM. Do it as much as we can.

The only reason I am using OPKs is because I'm less stressed because I feel it confirms what I think my body is up to. Does that make sense?

Squeal Fxd you make a wee hoilday bub!

Caroline......2ww, it's a killer in it? Hope you get a BFP hun


and love xxx

 

[cerena]

Hi ladies

I have been on birth control ( pills, depo, mirena) for around 10yrs. I stopped taking my pill, which was Diane35, around 3 weeks ago. The week after I had bad cramps in my left ovary area, very tingly nipples, huge boobs, bloated tummy, skin breakout etc my doctor told me these were all side effects from stopping the pill and that the cramps were possibly ovulation pains (which I have either never had or just never paid attention to!)

Anyway, 29th Aug was CD1 for me, today is CD6 (Sat)
I've no idea if I will ovulate this month so I have some test sticks on order which should arrive next week. IF my cycle is somehow normal, my fertile days are Wed-Sat next week

 

[squeal]

Hi Girlies!!

How are we all?

I'm getting SO impatient now, I thought if I didn't get an AF I would wait until I went on holiday to test, but now I don't think I can, I just want to know if I am PG or not!! I keep trying to sympton spot, but I think it's so easy to feel something and just think it might be because you're PG when in all liklihood it's probably not the case.

How soon do you all plan to test? If I haven't had an AF by CD28 do you think there would be chance of getting a correct result or not?

Hope all is well with everyone, where are you all in your cycles atm? I think I am CD21 today. No more BD for me either as OH stood on two nails which went straight through his big toe yesterday so he's in agony. Hopefully we won't have missed O though.

Good luck to all xx

 

[Caroline:-)]

Hey all
How is everyone?!?!? All busy ????
Well, I tested and BFN as expected really... But I'm just soooo confused as to when I ovulated now!!!! FF said I O'd on CD8 - I had pos opk's for 2 days before & a temp dip the day before, so we BD loads around that time. BUT, yesterday (or was it day before) FF decided to change its mind and now tells me I O'd on CD11 - a time when we didn't really BD, so I kinda feel I've missed my chance this cycle... I mean, it wasn't completely wasted - we BD 3 days before, so I know there is still a chance, but not that great... Gees, who knows hey?!?! Well I've a feeling AF is on it's way anyway...been spotting for a couple of days... I'm not gonna count myself out just yet though as there is a slight chance it could be implantation as I may be a few DPO less than I thought (the spotting I've had so far kinda fits in with this... pinky then browny mixed with cm) so I guess it depends on whether AF shows tomorrow!!! I'm currently CD22 and could be either 14 DPO (on the original chart) or 11DPO as it is now!!! With the 'new' O date, I'd only have been 8DPO and 10DPO on the days I tested, so I'm not out yet girls... although I've a feeling I will be by tomorrow!!!!

squeal, sorry to repeat myself - I've just pm'd you the same story more or less!!! You're right though, it is soooo hard to tell whether symptoms are real, or imagined because we want them to be there, or due to coming off the pill still... I have had the most tender and painful nipples for well over a week, but hey, looks like it might be nothing...
oooh, no, your poor oh though!!! Ouch!!!! I bet that hurt!!!!

Hi Cerena
Did you get your opk's yet? Have your side effects from coming off the pill gone yet?

Good luck everyone!

 

[cerena]

HI Caroline
I think all my side effects have gone except horrible skin

Unfortunately, I think my OH has changed his mind about everything. He pulled out last night and wouldn't tell me why. Well, his explanation was that it's nice to 'mix things up'
Feeling a bit down and dejected.
We really need to sit down and discuss this but I'm terrified of what I think he's going to say - that we should wait

 

[Caroline:-)]

Hi all,
How are we all today?

Well, arrived this morning so on to cycle 2 for me... Can't believe just how much it upset me... I'm really not a 'lucky' person, so really didn't expect to get a BFP on cycle 1, but I guess when you want something soooo much and spend so much time thinking about it and hoping, it's bound to be hard... Gosh, I really hope I don't have to try for too many cycles, I think the stress and upset would kill me!!!!

Awwww Cerena, I'm sorry to hear that your oh seems to have had a change of heart... I know you're worried about what he'll say, but you really do need to speak to him about it... Maybe he's just a bit scared about the whole thing? Talk to him, it might not be as bad as you're expecting!!! Good luck and let us know what he says...
