@SunshineB who knows when that's gonna be, will see how they are. I'm definitely gonna be prepared. Gonna talk to my immunology professor after the weekend to get some first hand info.
@MadDoda my LP is usually 15 days but I have had the occasional one last 14. My af is due today. No sign yet but I usually start afternoon anyway. My temp went up again today. I have had some temps which are unusually high for me just in this cycle. Usually my temp does no higher than 36.70. This cycle the highest reading is 36.88 (that was a few days ago). It's 36.81 this morning. Don't feel unwell, like I am coming down with a cold or anything. My temp usually drops on 2nd day of af so I don't read too much into what my temp does other than confirm ovulation. I am so sorry you have had to fight for your progesterone. I get it that all meds should be taken with caution but surely it is more than worth trying.
Hey @CheshireCat000! How are you feeling in the TWW? Apart from time is standing still lol. I'm ok, I think I'm coming to the end of my withdrawal bleed after stopping bc. Lasted 8 days! I am temping, don't really understand what I'm reading lol won't start using opks and actually ttc until Feb. I'd like to get my cycle back first so I know where to track from but once January is over we'll be on it either way 😂
Hi @SunshineB! Yeah I’m feeling good, not really much to report except I’ve had mild cramping pretty much every day since my ovulation day. Going to assume that’s just things getting back to normal after coming off the pill. Trying to just keep busy and not think about ttc this month as I very much doubt I’ve hit the jackpot on the first go, but it’s amazing how quickly it takes over your life! Just looking forward to getting a ‘proper’ period though and trying from there.
How are you finding temp charting? Is it quite difficult to understand? I saw some charts and it looked so overwhelming! Was it this week you start your permanent position at work? If so I hope you’re enjoying it!
Glad you are doing ok hun. I wouldn't worry too much about the cramping . Like you say, it will be everything settling back down. I've just stopped bleeding today so I'm waiting on AF to return too. I would rather it come back before we start trying as then I know where I am in my cycle.
You may get lucky on first try...it happens! Did you use OPKs?
My first official day was the 02.01.20, but i started working for the company on 01.10.20, just vis the agency. Still enjoying it thank you. Feeling a lot more comfortable too so I'm hoping when I do fall PG I won't feel too anxious 🤞
The charting is fine so far. I don't understand it tbh lol but I'll just go with the flow and see. I'm most interested to see it confirm ovulation which from what I've seen, it plots that out with a red cross.
Here's what it looks like so far. Not really looking into cycle days as my bleed was a withdrawal one but the app told me to enter the day I finished the pill so thought I may as well log the bleed.
Yeah I’m not too worried right now, just crossing my fingers that things settle down and sort out sooner rather than later haha. I’m not sure I’m lucky enough for success on the first try lol but here’s hoping for that too. I was using the glow app for a while and carried on with it alongside Clue and both asked for my last period so I just put in the withdrawal bleed even though that doesn’t really count. I used OPKs as well and according to them I ovulated right on time as I would have if it had been a normal period so 🤷🏻♀️ we BD’d quite a lot during that window because it was the Christmas holidays and very rainy so hey, what else is there to do haha.
Ah I see, glad you’re still enjoying your job - and I bet it’s a lot more peace of mind to be permanent and good to be less anxious.
Charting looks interesting, maybe something I’ll look into in a few months! Keep us updated on how it goes and fingers crossed for you!
Haha love that... good excuse for BD!! So when is AF apparently due according to your app? Mine says 29th of January which would give me a 30 days cycle and I know before when I came off BC last year I was between 28 to 30 days. 2 months at 30 days and then 28 and 29, so very regular really. I don't think I will come on then, as it took 6 weeks last time for AF to return.
Yeah I just worry that they will be annoying if I fall PG soon but if already waited so long, and I didn't intend to have to get a new job. I worry too much.
I'll keep you updated. It's easier to so than I thought as you just measure temp as soon as you wake up. So will just be interesting to see what the temps show.
My two apps (unsure why I’ve continued with both but here we are) have slightly differing dates as when I set them up and they asked for my cycle length, Clue had a ‘don’t know’ option so it automatically went to the average of 30 days, whereas Glow I had to input a timeframe so I went with 28 as before I was on the pill I was pretty spot on regular with a 28 day cycle. So that means earliest af date is Tuesday. We’ll see what my body decides with that though 😂 hope yours comes back ASAP for you!
Omg I literally worry about everything (including things that haven’t even happened yet) so I get it - there’s never going to be a perfect time though is there. My current job is mat leave cover until September so if we’re lucky enough to conceive this year, I’m likely to be unemployed for a while 🤷🏻♀️ We’re focusing on saving as much as we can and fortunately my husband has a great job but that’s still my focus of worry for the moment! Things always work out so we just need to remember that.
@CheshireCat000 hopefully it comes back then, especially if you were regular before pill. I was on mini pill so it doesn't stop ovulation so I think that's a better thing as it doesn't mess with your cycle too much?
Oh gosh!! Is it not likely to turn permanently? I really do need to stop worrying. I think I just feel a bit of pressure as they have kept going on about previous employees not being reliable and staying long 🙈 but I guess if I fall pg again, it's not as if I'll be leaving permanently
Good Morning! I have a job interview this afternoon but my previous employer has made a role for me in my other job. Its all very complicated and I am not sure if I will like it at all but hey ho. I have decided not to wait ttc to see what happens, I will be 37 in May so wanted to get off the pill I had my first bleed at 28days, hoping this was my first af rather than a withdrawal bleed. This puts me at CD12, I use the clue app and the ovia app, I am not sure how they work out your fertile window but one app has it starting today and the other app has it starting in 6 days 🙈 I have done an opk the last two weeks and both have come up negative for ov.
Try not to worry about employment, think most people are understanding and you are planning to return :-) I have a KIT day tomorrow and go back to work Tuesday! Where did a year go. Haha!
Hope you are both having a good start to the new year xx
Ahhh good luck @LouTTC83 . Do you think you would prefer the new one?
I'm not sure how it works if you don't get a bleed straight away. Both times I have come off BC I have had my withdrawal bleed immediately. If you are using the OPKs you hopefully will catch your surge anyway In the Clue app you can enter in when you get a positive OPK and it adjusts the fertile window then so it can see a pattern for the next month etc
@Kezzaxx omg I think I do see something? Wasn’t sure at first but my phone screen brightness was quite low so turned it up. Maybe test again in a day or two to confirm? Really hope this is it for you!! 🤞🏻
@SunshineB, not sure how the job interview went, not sure how interested I sounded and had proper baby brain. In some ways I think this will be a better job for me, although they are trying to increase their staff with a very small team so not sure how they would feel if I went straight on maternity 😳 Thanks about OPK info, when I get a positive in clue, I will enter it. Starting to feel it wont be terrible if we dont conceive this month so I get back to whatever job I decide to do.
@Kezzaxx I thought I saw a line too, leave it a couple of days and retest. 🤞 for you xx

How is everyone doing? I’m 6dpo and this is my first time experiencing the tww - I’ve never known time to move so slowly 😂
