Hello girlies,
been nosing around on here for a few months now and find lots of answers to most my questions! You all seem so nice and helpful
Basically I came off the pill (microgynogyn 30) in march because we were wanting to TTC in about a year. I've been on the pill about 11 years (dr put me on it because i got really bad cramp). I had normal periods in April and May on the exact same dates I would of if I had still been on the pill. However this month I really thought I could of been pregnant as we haven't been 100% careful and I felt different in a number of ways. Unfortunately I came on yesterday and I was gutted Made me want to TTC now!! Plus i know it could take us years to fall.
I came on 5 days earlier than I expected which is making me think this may of been my first "real" period - along with really bad cramps like I used to have.
So anyway my first question is, do you always count back 14 days from the first day of cycle to find out when you ovulated? If so then we defo did the deed smack bang on ovulation, it obviously just didn't happen.
Second question is when/how do I use the ovulation stick things?? I mean I know I have to dip them in my wee!! But do I use them just once a day or two? And how many days after AF should i start testing? I've ordered a bunch of them of eBay and also a thermometer and chart - but haven't a clue where to start. Please help!!!
Sorry for the long post! x
