    Hi ladies

    chelseablue it's normal for your first cycle off the pill to be a bit whacky, with mine I ov on cd28ish so I was quite lucky from the sound of it! Also thinking back I don't think I got ewcm the first cycle. Everyone's different I'm afraid but hopefully it won't take long for your hormones to settle down.

    Twigpig I had a 7 day lp this cycle eeeeek I'd managed to get it up to 11 with vit b6 and agnus castus so it just shows what a difference it makes to take them!

    Tink hugs for bfn xx

    Good luck with your scan becca xx

    General hugs all round x

    I have a question please ladies

    I took my last pill on 19 April and had the withdrawal bleed a few days after wards

    Since then I have been looking out for egg white cm but had none

    When should I expect to see it??

    I have had the white/creamy/lotion stuff but nothing else :(

    You have to give your body time to begin having normal cycles again. You haven't even had a real period yet. Most people come off the pill at least 2-3 months before beginning ttc and even then they often have irregular cycles for another few months. Try to relax and not think about it for a few weeks.....I know, easier said than done. :D
    Don't listen to me, I'm no expert!

    These surprise baby announcements are like buses, you go ages without one and now I've had two in a week!

    Oh well, can't blame the rest of the world for my infertility. Plus we've had an offer accepted on a house so i have a very good reason to be happy anyway :D although I've no idea what we do now cos we're waiting for the chain to form above us, hope it's not too long! X x

  • Hi ladies, following on from the TLP on Sunday, I have tested today and it seems a bit bigger and fatter, so I guess it's a BFP! Yet to do a digi (waiting til my ones on repeat order from Amazon arrive :money:) and still only 11 or 12DPO but we are cautiously celebrating :D

    Thank you so much for all your support, words of wisdom, jokes and encouragement along the way. I hope you all get your BFPs very soon!
