TTC just off the pill buddies

[mothercabbage]

Hi Viviene

Aaaaw, sorry got you purpledragon and mothercabbage, but PMA for next cycle!!!

I know, it is just too too confusing working out when you ovulate!!! lol... Cerena, I had a similar thing last cycle... I had positive OPK's on CD's 6 & 7, a big temp dip on CD 7, and then rise from CD 8... A few days later FF put in solid blue crosshairs so it was clearly convinced as was I that I had O'd... But then, right towards the end of my cycle FF suddenly changed it's mind one day and decided I'd O'd on CD 11!!!! Now my OPK on CD 10 had been more-or-less positive... I couldn't decide whether it was pos or not... but then I had (sorry tmi) 1 big load of ewcm. I don't really get much in the way of cm to really be able to tell to much by that, and same as you I thought it was just that you can get a bit after... and I wrote off the opk as neg as I was convinced I'd already O'd... I recorded my opk as neg on FF and didn't note the ewcm as it had been dry rest of the day... but even with just my temps FF was sure enough to change my O date... so I figure it must be right!!!! I guess really the thing to do is use FF as a guide, but don't flat out believe it... I kinda missed BD-ing at the best times because I was so convinced that I'd already O'd... Just had a look at your chart too Cerena, and FF doesn't seem totally sure when you O'd either as the crosshairs are dotted not solid...

Hi caroline, this is just my withdrawal bleed from stopping BC, my cycle is 28 (i think) so hopefully ill be O around my birthday 1-2nd oct...ill have to get OPKs in but when i used them with LO#2 i always got negative results,but he is 18 month old now so who knows??
and to all xx

Sorry yeah, I did know that, lol... you were waiting for af to arrive... dont know why I wrote that really haha, I'm GLAD AF got you It's just a relief isn't it when you hear about people who spend months waiting for AF after coming off bcp!
That's strange that you never got positive opks last time? Shows they can't totally be relied upon I guess - because you obviously did ovulate!!!! haha

 

[mothercabbage]

I think OPK are sent to confuse us, i am going to get some again but also will be DTD as often as possible with OH. hope he has got the stamina!!! he he..when do u O? and when are you due to test? N x

 

[Caroline:-)]

Well last cycle I O'd on CD 11 in the end... after the fiasco of believing most of my cycle that I'd O'd on CD8!!! But, I'm CD 12 now and no sign of it... I guess my body is still getting back to normal after BCP!?!?? So who knows.... lol

 

[mothercabbage]

Its all just a game of chance n luck if you ask me!! fancy being my buddy then? im due to test around 16/10/2010...or just before with FRER..if we get a BFP can grow bumps 2geva too!!!

 

[Caroline:-)]

Definately - buddies it is
I'm just so anxious now for any sign of O... still worried in case bcp has messed my body up too much to O - I'm pretty sure I didn't the month I stopped it...

buddies yey!!!...BC can be a pain once your off it (or so ive heard) hopefully we wont find that to be true with us!!! PMA is what we need and lots of .... and xx

 

[cerena]

FF has moved my ovulation date forward from CD15 to CD17 so looks like my wait is extended but my temps are far too low to be hopeful (around 35.6c) then again, I've been up for work at 5am shouldn't really make a difference should it...............Grrrrrr!

Also, if FF is correct, I only BD'd 2 days before O and the day after

 

[babycakes1982]

Hey Girls,

Mothercabbage I'm glad your AF showed up. Here's some b.dust to send you on your way to a BFP!!!!!

Some for you too purple daragon!

Welcome Vivenne, you are now going to become as obsessed and crazy with ttc as the rest of us! lol

Caroline, I know this is very difficult but try to relax about Ov, just incase you stressin is keepin it away (I know this is sooo much easier said that done!)

Cerena F'xd for you hun!!!!!


If I've missed out a comment to any1 soz, it's just our wee thread is growing and I'm finding it harder to keep track. Not that I'm complaining, the more the merrier!!!!

I have a boobies related question. lol Post BCP have you noticed they are much more sensitive to touch? e.g Nipples become erect more easily? And after OV mine seem to be more tender (not overly sore tho)

Anywho I'm 1dpo F'xd for me and all you lovely ladies!

xxxxx

 

[purpledragon]

My boobs get a bit tender around the time I think I O. I dont test for O to be honest. We just make sure we "Have Fun" every couple of days (sometimes more ;P ) and hope for the best. Seems like we may have succeeded last time but just had a very early MC. Oh well these things happen. It is much better to lose one early on rather than later.

 

[cerena]

Ok does this actually make sense to anyone?

Fertility Sign Interpretation
Temperature: Ovulation Detected on Cycle Day 17
Cervical Fluid: Your cervical fluid pattern indicates that you may have ovulated between Cycle Day 21 and Cycle Day 23. A temperature rise should occur to confirm it. Note that it is possible to have several patches of fertile cervical fluid (egg white or very watery) in the same cycle.
Ovulation Tests: Your last OPK positive on Cycle Day 15 predicts ovulation between Cycle Day 15 and Cycle Day 17. You should observe a temperature rise and at least 3 days of high temperatures to confirm this ovulation.


I got my first positive OPK on CD14 so is it still possible to ovulate on CD17?

 

[squeal]

Hi Everyone!!

AF FINALLY arrived on Friday, so I am now CD3, anyone also on this CD? So my first cycle was 32 days. What was all yours?

My OPKs arrived yesterday, and I should also have some Preseed on the way.

Hope you're all well xx

 

[babycakes1982]

Cerena I don't have a clue about temping!!! I think when you get a +OPK it's just an indication that your body is gearing up to ovulate and can do so within 12 to 36 hours. It may be possible but really dunno!?

Hey Squeal my 1st cycle was 36 days. I used concieve + this cycle to F'xd it has helped! Might try preseed at a later date if I'm not successful with C+. Let me know how you get on with it


xxxx

 

[mothercabbage]

Hi again girls :wave:...Im good today the AF pains have let up a bit now so things are better, SQUEAL im on CD2 of (i think-unless BCP has messed with me)28 day cycle, so we should be testing around the same time??..CERENA i have no idea about temping and so forth to do with O..i dont even know what FF means ....hopefully i'll have my BFP before i get too stressed and think about temping etc....its too confusing for me ....BABYCAKES thankyou for the !!!!and yes after BCP my nips were especially sensative, NOT sore just very sensative....I hope ALL my buddies on this thread are having a great weekend to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xx

 

[squeal]

Ah, yep, we should be. This cycle was 32 days, however, that could change this month as I'm sure my body is still getting used to not being on the pill, so next month could be shorter for all I know.

Did everyones AF last long? Mine is already light and only been three days. xx

Yea mine is lighter than usual its only my withdrawal bleed though(day2)...gonna BD as often as poss, and if i get any O symptoms we'll then too he he... n to all xx

 

[Caroline:-)]

Hey Cerena, same happened to me last cycle, when FF moved my O day from CD8 to CD11 a few days before AF was due... it meant I'd only ended up DTD 3 days before O!!!! When I thought I'd done it 2 days before, day before, on the day and day after!!! I was sooo not impressed... so this time when I think I've O'd I'm gonna make sure we keep on with the BD-ing!!!!
Hay babycakes, I know I need to stop stressing, but I am just a worrier all the time... I stress over everything Yes, my boobies were sooo seisitive and painful last cycle from around O until a day or 2 after AF arrived... I was convinced it was a pregnancy symptom, but obviously not!!!!
Squal - glad AF arrived for you so you can get on with the next cycle! My first cycle off the pill was 26 days (but no O). Then I had a 22 day cycle
Hi mothercabbage - FF stands for Fertility Friend the charting site

 

[cerena]

Now my chart has decided I didn't ovulate at all my temps are just all over the place. Don't know what to do. I'm having more 'symptoms' now than I had during AF

I think I'm out this month

 

[Caroline:-)]

Try not to worry Cerena... I don't think I O'd on my first cycle off the pill... I wasn't charting that cycle or anything, so I don't know for sure, but opk's didn't pick anything up... But then last cycle I did... I don't think it's that uncommon to take a cycle or two to start O-ing so try not to worry... but hey, you're not out until AF comes... maybe FF is wrong, or maybe you'll have a long first cycle (as I believe lots of people just off bcp have) and are still to O!

 

[mothercabbage]
