Is everyone ovulating every month in this group, or do we have anyone having problems?

I'm slightly worried about having too many positive sticks this month, it was 11 days in a row positive...if that happens next month think I might see my GP.

I use ovia too, it's really helpful for logging etc.
The app must think I'm crazy with the amount of pg tests I've taken ha ha

I couldn't get on with ovia, so i'm using Cycles. Came off pill in September and am taking folic acid & vit d when I remember - you'd think after years of managing to take a pill every day at the same time this would be easier than it has been. Think AF is on her way again for the weekend based on some PMS symptoms (making this another short cycle) :-( at least i'll be able to start OPKing earlier next month to try and spot the window

nancyo - too early to tell for me if I'm OVing monthly. Still no smiley face but pretty sure I started testing too late (first month with the sticks). I hate having no idea what my cycles will do from one month to the next, I was like clockwork before cerazette and now having had nothing for years its like being a hormonal teenager again

Next month we are out too as I'm away abroad without DH at OV time. Ah well.

I was on cerazette prior to my 1st pregnancy, I was really worried as I'd heard people taking ages to get back to normal cycles, mine came back right away and I fell pregnant after first natural AF so everyone is different.

Hopefully you just missed it.

I'm in a very similar situation, came off cerazette in sept, on first cycle now post withdrawal bleed. I was lucky and caught positive opk this cycle so fingers crossed. Will probably keep monitoring next few months if needed.

I was never strictly regular before the pill so the uncertainty although frustrati g isn't new (but it's been probably 8 years since I had a period before this. Can't say I've missed them!)

I'm using ovia and glow, I think i slightly prefer glow.

I'm also taking folic acid but forgetting sometimes... I used to have a pill alarm but don't for this maybe that's why I'm going wrong.

You never know pre AF symptoms are similar to early pregnancy . Fingers crossed!

Have it somewhere really obvious like on dining table. Take them at the same time every day and just make it into a routine.

OH has them in a normal pill packet because they're the higher dose, so she writes the the days on each section so she knows if she's taken it or not.

Or do your alarm thing, that's a good idea.

afoolandhermoney

selement and freddie - I keep them on the bedside table where my pills used to live. Don't know why i can't get into the habit of taking them (or rather keep the habit of taking a glass of water to bed so I can take them). I think its partly rebelling against pill taking in general (I wanted to come off cerazette at the beginning of the year but took til september to get OH on board).

Still blank circles on the OPK (neg on the PG on Wednesday too, will test again tomorrow if no AF as if i'm on a 21 day cycle that's when she's due, otherwise its the following weekend)
