TTC just off the pill buddies

[babycakes1982]

Hey Caroline, I'm on CD 20 and waiting to O. I was gettin faint lines on OPKs and now they have dissappeared. Don't think I have missed O cos I tested lots and had no EWCM. Still temping and FF hasn't said anything yet either. So dunno? I'm driving myself mad and stressing. Think it's not good for my body, maybe I chased O away!

Anyways I am considering giving up the OPKs and temping etc and just going for it the old fashioned way (something my OH said) but not 100% about it yet!


GL everyone and xxxx

Hey girls
I've had a fab day today - we had a work briefing with health and wellbeing afternoon... We did orienteering, archery and this finding a way to cross the river task - great fun and such a lovely day for it! Cool fresh air but warm and sunny at the same time - just right for walks round the lake and through the forest!
Well, FF has now agreed with me that I didn't Ov, lol, why does it worry me like that!!!! lol... Anyway, I've got Ov pains today... and last night and this morning I had quite dark (although not as dark as control) opks... I'm taking them as positives though as it's lighter again this evening... Last month it was the same, I never actually got a REAL positive, but my temps, cm, ov pains and FF all agreed with it...
babycakes, when you say you've tested lots, how often twice a day or more? And did you get any almost positives? You could have just missed the actual surge like I did? wait and see if FF confirms Ov... it can take a good few days for it to recognise it... have you had any ov pains or anything?
WDWJess, fingers crossed for you then hun... you never know, you might not get a visit from AF - it's not unheard of to get a bfp first month off the pill!!! Good luck!
It looks like my cycles have probably regulated now... last cycle I Ov'd on CD16 after ov pains on CD15... so with ov pains at CD15 again today, I'm guessing I'm likely to ov on CD16 again... so that's good anyway, lol... now all I need it that BFP!!!!!

Hello

It has sunk in that i'm pregnant (I think!). It's a strange one really, I think because we both wanted it and I kinda thought I was from having cramps at 5DPO it didn't come as a shock to find out that I was. What's weird is that I don't feel pregnant so it's a bit strange to think that I am. Everything just feels like normal and no different. I still keep getting cramps here and there and I think my nipples may be getting a little more sensitive but other than that I'm fine.

Hope you're all well xx

Hey Gem - GL! Hope AF arrives and then goes quickly for you
2 years isn't so long though - I'd been on bcp constantly for almost 10 years!!!!

Yeah, there's no way of knowing how it's going to be... Some people get back to normal straight away, others take months and months... the whole now knowing is so frustrating!!!!

Welcome gem you'll find this particular thread great as we are all going through exactly the same thing and it is nice to have everybody's support and to compare notes. I'm waiting for my first true period since coming off the pill, had only been on it for 2 years also so who knows, perhaps I will be waiting for 9 months! Here's hoping. GL

Caroline - glad you've figured it out, here's praying for our BFP's xxx

Hey guys, I'm a newbie on this thread. Maybe it will be a lucky one. I went off the pill a few months ago, after about 8 years on bcp, three of which were the depo provera shot 4 years ago. First period after bcp was 29 days, then 19 then 24, so I hope I get regular soon. AF has got me right now. This cycle I have started using the clear blue fertility monitor. Has anyone else tried it? I thought it might let me know if I am ovulating. We haven't been enough lately, so I hope this monitor lets us know when our fertile time will be. Good luck girls!!! I hope we see some soon!!

 

[WDWJess]

Welcome waiting to grow

Well still no AF and I've just worked out it's 38 days since the start of my LMP. As it's my 1st month off bcp I know that doesn't mean anything but I'm going to test with a frer in the morning so wish me luck ladies. I'm actually really nervous about it as the longer I go on with no signs of af the more sure I am that I'm pg and I'm trying so hard not to get my hopes up!

The last time I tested was last Friday so I've done well to last this long without testing again.

I will let you all know how I get on tomorrow. xxx

FX WDW!! Let us know how you get on

So, have you worked out your due date yet?

26th June I think. I haven't been to the doctors yet but based on my last AF I think that's when it will be dated at.

We haven't BD for over a week I'm a bit scared to, I don't want to cause any bleeding but I am getting desperate, especially after having it so much the past two months!! It's one extreme to the other.

I'll look forward to your update tomorrow Jess.

Hope everyone else is well xx

On CD 8 now. Had my 1st 28 day cycle. YAY! Now onto month 6. The 1st week and a half of a cycle is always annoying cause you have to wait so long before your next chance to try again. Oh well atleast it means I can enjoy this long weekend and have a few drinks with the mates we have visiting And I can enjoy my runny poached eggs again, which I have had a few of this week Gotta look at the positives otherwise I would go completely insane Fingers crossed it all happens this year. I am getting worried I will end up having it around my 30th. Although I can kind of plan the birth since I will have to have a C-section anyways.

 

[Caroline:-)]

Soooo, come on then WWJess!!!! Did you test yest?!?!?!? Good luck!!!!

Squeal, Thats a good due date hun! I would have chosen a June baby over any other month... My birthday is in June and it was always perfect - half way beween christmases so something to look forward to every 6 months!!!!
I can understand you being scared to bd now you're pregnant hun, I'd probably be exactly the same! I'm sure I've read that there's no danger at all by doing it, but I guess it doesn't stop you worrying!!!

Hey purpledragon, I agree you definately have to make the most of the first 2 weeks of a cycle - enjoy having a drink and eating the things you can't after ov!
I'm back in the 2WW now... 3dpo at the moment... so I know the next couple of weeks are gonna drag sooo much! Wish me luck girls!

 

[WDWJess]

It was a BFN this morning but still no af either on cd39 now! I'd be very happy if af arrived, just so I know where I am and can start afresh with the next cycle. I hate waiting lol.

 

[Caroline:-)]

Aaaaw, sorry to hear that... you're still in with a chance though... I know some people don't get a bfp for ages after... you're not out until puts in an appearance...
But I guess the most likely reason you've had no AF yet is due to bcp... so got my fingers crossed for you that AF arrives soon and you can get back to trying... good luck hun

 

[WDWJess]

Thanks Caroline, it's so nice to have support on here.

Well we BD yesterday morning and all was fine, and then this morning when I go to wipe there's some blood I know it's nothing to worry about unless it's heavy and cramping badly, which isn't the case at all, it's only when I wipe but still doesn't stop me worrying and I can't have that happening everytime we BD because surely it can't be good. I am staying in my PJ's all day today and feeling sorry for myself now!

I'll look forward to hearing how you get on soon with the TWW I'm sending you LOTS of

Jess, really sorry to hear the bad news as Caroline says though, you're not out until the witch shows. How many DPO are you now?

Hope everyone else is well and has had a good weekend xx

 

[Caroline:-)]

Aaaw Squeal, sorry you're feeling a bit down right now... I can only imagine what a worry the first couple of months must be... I'm the worlds biggest worrier so god help me when I get there!!! haha...
Seriously though, hope you feel better soon - I'm sure everything is absolutely fine - big hugs
