Hi kj1 I think it’s fine to have a few drinks, I will be having a drink with some friends next week (a glass or 2) I don’t test till the weekend after so I figured this might be my last chance when I was pregnant with my first I had a few sips of whisky and coke the week before I tested and was sick the next morning and I’m pretty sure it was because I was pregnant as it was the only time I was sick. So if it goes to your head more than usual could be a sign!

Sorry if this is the wrong place but this is my first time line spotting but can anyone see anything?

 

[Kholl]

Hannah that looks like a BFP!!!
Get a FRER to confirm When was/is AF due?

 

[hannahm987]

AF isn’t did until Friday/ Saturday, I have a fr was tempted to leave it until the morning to try with it! This was taken at around 4 so not my fmu

Thank you!!! I’m still in shock that anything appeared, came home from work today after testing yesterday at 10dpo and thought I would just try another one and then the faint line appeared. I only came off the pill in December so still not sure it’s all real. Think I will believe it if I start to get a more clear line

 

[Poppy_12]

Ah congratulations Hannah - that looks like a BFP to me!

Thanks KJ1, I’m trying with my will power! Still no AF today...don’t know whether to cave and test with FMU tomorrow? Had planned for thurs but I’m going away on Thursday night and don’t want to spoil my mood if it’s BFN so would maybe rather know?

@Poppy_12 tomorrow you’re 17 dpo right? I wouldn’t be able to resist testing because I have absolutely zero willpower lol. How are you working out your O date? Are you temping? X

Yes I think I am KJ, im going off CM and ov strip tests. The problem I’ve got is my periods have never been consistent. I’m quite early off the pill too (December) and had a withdrawal bleed but nothing since but did ov in feb?!

I think I’m gonna test in the morning! X

 

[hannahm987]

Oh goodness surveyor you were very quick to fall pregnant!!

I would - apparently you’re super fertile the first few months after coming off of birth control!

@Mrsbunny @pupperini have you tried taking Inofolic? It’s generally for PCOS but also helps with regulating your cycle and increasing egg quality etc. I usually have 70-90 day cycles (have done for the last two and a half years) but I’ve been taking it for almost three months now and I ovulated day 21 this cycle which is absolutely unheard of. I’m not sure if longer cycles are normal for you or what your situation is but I thought I would mention it as I’m a bit of a pessimist the majority of the time (the worst when TTC lol) but I honestly can’t rate this stuff any more highly.

Thanks for the tip kj1, I'll keep it in mind until later in the year. I came off the pill late November after 10+ years, so I am just unsure of how long/ regular my cycles are at this stage

 

[pupperino]

Congrats hannah!

Good luck to everyone else this month!

 

[MrsBunny]

@Poppy_12 oh my gosh, you have the willpower of a goddess not to have tested again over the weekend! I hope this is it for you, 15dpo and no AF sounds very promising. Keep us posted!

@moomingirl how many DPO are you?

@WheelDon2 sorry about AF, hope you catch the egg next week!

Thanks so much kj. I haven't heard of inofolic (cue lots of google research) - definitely interested.

I was referred to gynae last year because of looong cycles coming off bcp. All bloods normal, aside from slightly elevated tsh (subclinical/borderline hypothyroid), but my gp thinks that was a blip since its been normal since. They ruled out pcos based on testosterone levels being normal. We weren't ttc at the time, so they said they'll only do more tests once we've ttc for 6mo.

Looks like inofolic is inositol plus folic acid. Already getting folic acid in a pre-conception vitamin I'm taking so I might have a go with just adding inositol to that
