TTC just off the pill buddies

[WDWJess]

I think I was 11dpo yesterday when I tested but that's only assuming I actually o'd when I think I did. Roll on next month when I can start using opk's

Staying in pj's all day sounds like a good idea, I probably would if I didn't need to go out this afternoon.

 

[squeal]

11DPO is still early though. What test are you using?

 

[WDWJess]

Been using frer's only have 1 left now. Ordered some internet cheapies yesterday from ebay so once they come I may test every 3 or 4 days until either af or bfp.

 

[Caroline:-)]

Jess, I thought you were much further along than that... didn't you say you were CD39 or something? Or did you just Ov really late?
As squeal said, if you're only 11dpo, that's still pretty early to get a positive test? And 11dpo wouldn't be late to have no sign of af yet either really... So I really wouldn't worry... I'm sure AF will show in the next few days - or maybe even a bfp!!!! Good luck hun x

Hey Girls, Haven't been on in a while ttc was gettin me stressed and down. But starting to feel more +ve.

Caroline, I've been testing twice a day so don't think I missed the surge. Yesterday FF said I had Ov on CD 19 but I didn't really have any signs. Anyways, it took it away after todays temp and I got a nearly +ve on a tesco Ov test today so hopefully get a +ve OPK tomorrow or tues. Better I'm on CD24 today!!!!

Squeal, I'm sure all is fine but I can TOTALLY understand your worrying I would be the same. Have you chatted to some other in the 1st tri?

WD Jess I agree with the other 11dpo is still early hun. F'xd you get a bfp soon xxxxxx

 

[WDWJess]

Caroline - I think I o'd really late but that's just going on symptoms etc not a definite coz I haven't charted or used opk's yet so I'm saying 11dpo as a very big guess lol, who knows. It's more a chance I'm getting bfn because there's really no chance I'm pg rather then getting a bfn coz it's too early to detect if you get me?!

babycakes - thank you and glad you are feeling more positive about things, fx for your +ive ov test tomorrow

[Caroline:-)]

Hey babycakes, I know how you feel - I totally have my moments where this whole thing stresses me out and really upsets me... I hardly came on here for a couple of weeks after af got me last time... In some ways coming on here is really helpful but in other ways it really encourages us to obesess and I think makes it harer to care about anything except getting pregnant!!! I honestly barely think about anything else!!!! Crazy!!!! But anyway, glad you're back to feeling more positive now, hun... and fingers crossed you Ov any day now...

Well, I'm 4dpo now... no syptoms really and I fully intend to stick with what I said when af got me last time - no symptom spotting this month - I had virtually every symptom under the sun last time and bfn... so trying to ignore any so-called symptoms I get!!!

Ah, you never know Jess, don't give up!!! tbh though, if you're anything like me, first cycle off the pill getting af will be a relief in itself - the first and last time you'll want to see that evil

 

[WDWJess]

Tell me about it caroline, to see af would be a great feeling at the moment, of course a bfp would be even better lol. But seriously I think deep down I already know I'm not pg and am just excited to start testing with opk's and have lots of fun with the pre-seed I am about to order xxx

 

[squeal]

Pre-seed is fun Jess my OH wasn't impressed when I ordered it and couldn't see the point, but when I put some on him he loved it, we still have quite a bit left too so we use it every now and then.

The bleeding stopped by the end of the day, started to go brown so was obviously old blood and now I am fine again. I'll wait another week before trying again I think!

Glad to hear all is ok hun x

Hey girls, how's everyone doing?
6DPO today and getting impatient... seeing as I've a load of ics hanging round, don't think I'll last much longer without testing even though I know it's way to early!!!!
Where's everyone else at?

 

[squeal]

Another week to go then! At least you can enjoy having plenty of BD. I want to so much but I don't want to cause any damage! It's driving me nuts, I want to be close to my man

 

[Caroline:-)]

Where is everyone?!?!?! x

 

[Lou1234]

Hi!

I've had my first AF since coming off the pill. Arrived at something like CD26. I had spotting for one day a few days after AF went away so it seems my body is still settling down. I'm now CD11 so I should ov sometime in the next few days if things are working so we'll see!

Although hubby is ill at the moment so I think we are going to miss out this month!

 

[Caroline:-)]

Yay for AF Lou - last time you'll be glad to see the evil

My first cycle off bcp was 26 days too... my next was 22, followed by 29... this month looks like being around 28/29 too... what I will say though, is expect Ov any time! My cycle after my first real AF (22 days) I Ov'd on CD11... so don't just assume you'll be in the normal timescale! Since then I've Ov'd on CDs 15 & 16 so seems to have settled down now!

Anyway GL Lou! Are you using opks or temping or anything? Let us know how it goes!!!

 

[xsarahbellax]

Where is everyone?!?!?! x

Oh, I replied to this earlier but it's vanished!

I'm here! I'm around 5dpo I think!

 

[Lou1234]

Not knowing when ov = lots of

I'm not using opks or temping or anything yet. We decided just to see what happens for the first few months but I'm a bit impatient! I'm very, very tempted to buy some opks though for next month so at least I can check I am ov'ing! Might get some but keep it from hubby!

Are you temping or using opks Caroline? Figured I could find the answer somewhere here but easier to ask you!

 

[Caroline:-)]

Yeah, I'm doing both... I originally started as I wanted to ensure I was Ov'ing after bcp... I didn't want to spend ages trying, only to find out that I wasn't even Ov'ing... Especially at my age, haha But anyway, all was fine, and now I'm just adicted!!!!! I remember in WTT I was so determined that I would be doing it the old fashioned way, but bnb has turned me into a charting obsessive!!!!

Yeah, I kept it secret from DH for a while too... but he's so clueless (bless him!) about the fact that you can't just get pregnant at any time of the month, that I had to tell him to explain to him how I knew that it wouldn't work if we bd at such and such a time!!!! haha... If you do decide to go for it, I'd recommend the cheapies from amazon... you can get 50 for like £9 or something... you can also choose whether you want all opks or a mix of opks and hpts... Oh, and free delivery! I got my thermometer from there too... I think that was £9 or something similar too...

GL hun

Any symptoms yet sarah????
I'm doing my very best not to symptom spot this month - I'm able to more or less ignore the cramps, gassy-ness, backache, bloating, slight waves of nausia, etc... BUT, I can't ignore this constant need to pee I've had since yesterday! It's not like an OMG, I have to go NOW thing, but it is constant, in that I need to go again as soon as I've been!!! But, I'm sure all 'symptoms' are either in my head or in no way related to being pg!!!!

I try not to symptom spot either… I end up convinced I'm gonna get that BFP, & then end up utterly disappointed when I don't!

It's so difficult, as early pregnancy symptoms are very similar to AF signs, plus I have recently developed IBS, so any twinges could be to do with that!

I've had a little niggly AF-is-coming feeling on & off all week, though like I said, could be IBS. However, it's still a bit early for implantation, so wouldn't actually expect any symptoms till next week!

Fingers crossed for us!! When will you test? I always get impatient & test a day early, then AF shows up the next day. Will try & wait this time!!
