hi girlies.
I feel a bit low today, for some reason i feel realy negative about this cycle. i dont know why but i do.
I came off the BCP july 1st, got my first Af on aug 13th and no lines at all on opk's in that 6 or 7 weeks inbetween stopping the pill and AF showing up.
I m basing my cycle on a 28 day cycle as until i get another visit from the witch i wont actualy know what my cycle length will be and according to my chart i was due to ovulate tuesady (2 days ago).
We have been BD'ING it like crazy people so i know we are doing our bit (so to speak) lol and i got my first opk lines on fri (very faint) again on saturday (les faint and the darkest one so far on sunday although not as dark as the control line. the lines have gone fainter since sunday to no line again since mon evening, tues, wed ect so i think i probably did ovulate mon or tuesday. the confusing thing is i have had no egg white cm at all since cming off the BCP and i still havnt had any now, its just creamy. I normaly tend to get pains when i ovulate but i havnt had those either, just a few little twinges yesterday evening and today. I obviously might not be back to normal after the BCP and being impatient that pees me off greatly but is something i need to tey to get my head round. i just feel so so negative about this cycle because of this, i just am not hopeful of my BFP this cycle at all and i am finding it so frustrating. i knew you girls would understand as its frustrating waiting for something to happen when you only have so much control over it. I know we havnt been ttc for long but i have wanted another baby for a long time now and it would be very very much longed for and wanted. Grrrrrrrrrrr sorry for the moan girls, i just needed to get it off my chest!
thanks xxxxxx

Saw your thread and wanted to send you some

try not to get to down on yourself......there are alot of ways to increase EWCM.

this is your first month off BC and first cycle trying? or 2nd?
Let your body get back to normal!

I have noticed a lack of EWCM as well...and have been using preseed. But you can also try some other things......
use google to search for info instead of 2ww symptoms..hahaha
Lots of good info on BnB as well...

Take care!!!

Hi Poppi,

As you know i've had similar problems with the old OV sticks this month! One of the other lovely girls was saying that hormones fluctuate throughout your cycle and sometimes you can get dark-ish lines, but it doesn't mean you are ov-ing. You have to wait until the line is definitely as dark or darker. So you might not have missed it yet? keep using the sticks!

Also, i am sure this is not what you want to hear, but as ChillB says you need to give your body some time after bcp. I really hope and keep my fingers crossed for you that you will be one of the lucky girls who is regular and fertile straight after finishing bcp. I was not one of the lucky ones! My first AF after bcp was fine, exactly 28 days and i thought "whoop whoop, i'm ok", then the next cycle was 56 days, then 52, then 45 and so on... took me a while to get it down to anywhere near regular! Unfortunately it can be one of those things that the evil GPs don't warn you about when they hand you the prescription!!

Good luck though, and don't get yourself too down xxx
