TTC #2 again
On august 11th i took my last birth control pill after taking them for a year. We had been TTCing for over 2½ years without anything happening and decided to take a break for a year, mostly because I only had a year left of my studies. And that year has passed and we are officially TTCing again. I was expecting to start spotting or that AF would show up shortly after taking the last pill, since that's how my body reacted when I had me IUD (Mirena) removed when we started TTCing #2 the first round. But it seems like my body had other plans this time. A few days ago I started having some light cramps, like I do before AF shows. So I thought she were on her way. But then it went from light cramps to my regular OV-pain and I had a ton of ewcm. The pain stopped today, so I'm counting this as 1 dpo. It remains to be seen wether I actually ovulated or not. But hopefully it means my body will be back on track. And more hopefully, it won't take too long before I get my BFP.

10 dpo and woke up noticing how my boobs felt heavier. No new symptom besides that. I really hoped I could give my husband a bfp today since it's our 9th wedding anniversary, but I guess not. Today I actually felt I saw something at first, but then it kind of disappeared.
This is right at the 5 min mark. It was only a 3 hour hold too, since I had to get up and pee at 4 am.

Thank you. As a true POAS-addict I tested after a few hours again and that shadow is still there. But the last couple of days got me questioning weither we should have another one or just settle for the one we already have. My health has been slowly getting worse for the past few months and my energy levels are quite low, and it hasn't been getting better despite being unemployed since almost a week ago. Don't know if it's my fibromyalgia, my damn thyroid or something else. I tick many of the boxes for ME/CFS too, so. If it keeps getting worse I'm not sure I'll be able to care for another child without totally crashing myself. I mean, I have to think about the family I already have. But, I'll wait and see until next year how it all goes.

Sorry AF showed her ugly face. Let's hope the NTNP will take some of the stress of trying. As for me CTP has my expected ovulation as tomorrow. Hubby and I DTD on Thursday and Friday. Been having some ovary pain and slight blood tinge cm. CTP exp AF is Oct 24. My body has never ovulated this early; wonder if it's from taking Maca that one month and stopped taking it. I'm curious to see what happens this cycle as my hormones are all over the place.

How has things been going. You must be pretty close to ovulation. Has for me, not sure what DPO I am at. CTP has me at 6dpo but I feel like I am a couple days behind. Only symptom really is that since ovulation I have been feeling bloated. Ecpected period is due in a week. I will try and hold out and not test until AF is late.
