Sorry to hear about AF Claire_A87 and Miss_I.
Totally agree with both of u regarding drinking alcohol. It would make the 2WW completely unbearable if I didn't just carry on as usual!

Snapping: so sorry to hear about your cat. Such sad news. Sounds like things are a bit pants for you at the moment but I hope thins pick up for you soon. Xx

Keepergirl: fingers crossed for you that everything's ok and little bean clings on. Hugs.

Miss_I: I like to use OPK's even though I OV just about spot on CD 14 every month. I only use them from day 12 and usually just need a couple. When I haven't used them b4 I just start doubting whether I've OV'd or not (I never get EWCM) so do now every month for peace of mind.

I'm now 8dpo and my breasts are KILLING me. This is nothing new though as I get this quite often between OV and AF. I also had some dark brown spotting yesterday but again I have had this b4 so unlikely to be implantation bleed. Feel fairly calm about it all at the moment and just waiting over the next week to see if AF arrives. I don't usually POAS as it would make me really obsessive!

Have a good day everyone

I'm 8dpo too when is AF due?

I have a lot less CM than I did last cycle, my back hurts, my boobs hurt and that pelvic pain isn't going away either. I said to OH that it's a shame I can't test this week but I suppose it's helping to keep my mind off it by not POAS.

I hope everyone is okay today. Big hugs from Lulu to everyone :beer::beer::beer:

Hi Lulu,

AF due a week today.

Your symptoms sound promising, fingers crossed for you. I don't have a good feeling for me this month as I'm having similar symptoms to what I always have. We'll see though.

Ah so pretty much same as me, I'm due Thursday or Friday next week.

I don't have a good feeling either, we will both see though

Hey girls hope everyone is doing well.

After being a bit down after missing they key days the apps say (FF & ovia), Ive an abundance of EWCM today? Temp came down today from small spike yesterday so I think, if I'm reading my body right, I've yet to ovulate. Yay!!!

I understand that te apps are only as good as the data put in, and based on averages until my cycle sorts itself out from coming off the pill 3 months ago, I think they are steadily increasing in length, but obviously the app doesn't know that! how much faith to put in the apps or do I listen to the signs my body is telling me (CM & BBT) ? Although don't have much faith in this either as last month I could've sworn I was pregnant!:rotfl:

Also really worried that being on the pill for 14 years has masked some symptoms of problematic thyroid as my bbt is incredibly low (constantly 36.2) and Google says this is a key sign for this and listed a number of other symptoms which I have about half of!!:eek: dont know whether to go to docs or not?

Yay for possible ovulation!!!

My problem with Ovia is that everything you enter it analyses at potential pregnancy symptons!

I would go to the doctors if it was me. You never know with things like this. Dr Google is my worst enemy.

Just nipped to the loo and my CM is very watery ( sorry all!), I'm very sore down there and I've started feeling sick and dizzy. Even if these aren't pg symptoms I feel rubbish!

If only I was a man!

CD13 for me and negative OPK. Ovia is still saying this is my fertile window despite telling them the OPKs are negative - is this because they think I will ovulate at the end of my fertile window and sperm can live inside me until then?


Funny how complex it is, yet when you're younger you're told if you have sex you WILL get pregnant haha

I think so. normally the day you ovulate will be the second to last day of the fertile window.


I know right! I wish I'd been less careful all these years!

I didn't have sex without a condom until 3 years ago and I was on the pill since 2007! :rotfl:

If this is your first cycle off bc then Ovia won't know when your fertile window is, so will assume you will ov around CD14. I had a 36 day cycle first month off bc & ov'd around CD24/25. Keep persevering with OPKs if you can, and once you've had a few cycles (but hopefully you won't!) Ovia will be able to predict a bit better, or you'll be able to manually input with more accuracy

Righto I'm looking for logic when there may well be none but.....

My prev cycles off BCP were
cycle 1=25days
cycle 2=26days
Cycle 3= current (hoping 27/28!)

Now my online research :cool:has suggested that your luteal phase remains pretty constant throughout (maybe allowing for a day either side) your cycles. So your ovulation date may change, but AF will occur once your LP has finished.

I seem to be ovulating later than last cycle, so hopefully this means my cycles are lengthening and normalising.

Can anyone else recently off BCP in the past few months chip in with their observations on their own cycles?

Hope everyone has a weekend packed of fun filled baby dancing ahead of them and for those enjoying their wine and chocolate happy snuggling x

Cycle 0 (before 1st AF off pill) - Af started on 11dpo

Cycle 1 - 29 days, OV on day 18

Cycle 2 - 25 days - OV on day 15

Cycle 3 - as yet unknown! - OV on day 15

So it looks like I may be falling into an OV on day 15 pattern. Hoping this cycle will be longer than cycle 2 as am concerned that my LP is too short. Having said that I hope I don't find out how long my cycle is this month IYKWIM!
