Just a post about trying to conceive.



I'm not tracking ovulation, I always assumed I ovulated when my discharge changed consistency somewhere mid cycle. I've never had regular cycles either, but I've been on the pill for so long it's hard to remember.

When we tried to conceive Liam, I got off the pill, had a period, then got pregnant the next cycle.

Since my period has returned post pregnancy, my cycles have been this many days: 28, 30, 31, 38.

I'm currently on day 35 of this cycle. I don't feel pregnant, but this is the first cycle that we've had sex throughout. I don't recall seeing a change in my discharge either :\ I've already peed on two sticks this cycle, but they were a week ago. Adam won't let me buy anymore because they're expensive.

It's driving me nuts, waiting for my period. I keep seeing 'symptoms' of pregnancy that are probably period symptoms but my period isn't here either. I don't know how people do this month after month :( Looking at the trend, my period probably won't come until like day 40 or something :(

Over it. Just want to pee on a stick.

Buy the dollar store tests? Supposedly, they work just as well. Do they have dollar stores (or the equivalent) in Australia?

Buy tests online! They're less than a dollar each, you just get the strips and not all the plastic nonsense.

Good luck, lady.

My periods were all funny after coming off the pill. I would ovulate and have a really short luteal phase so even if the egg fertilized there's no way it could have implanted. I got pregnant with Kira my first normal cycle. Hang in there, the pill can do funny things to you.

I was about to suggest internet cheapies but you are all over it already :)

I was using an iPhone cycle tracker trying to avoid falling pregnant. Second cycle, thought I had ovulated a week earlier so was safe, but no... Damn it! Of course I am happy to be pregnant, but the timing wasn't great.

That said, I know what you mean with how do people do it month after month... I'm lucky I've never had drawn out periods of TTC!

Good luck :)

This is how you do it month to month: go live your life. Have sex. Love Adam a lot, take Liam out and go play, have sex, visit with your friends and family, have sex, cook new things, clean house, have sex, and in a month or two, if you haven't had a period, take a test and THEN you'll know. In other words, if you keep thinking about it and make it your entire focus, you're going to be all sorts of anxious and lose all this time to being anxious. It will happen when it happens, no matter what you do. So go fill your days with living and loving and lots and lots of sex, and just know that the day will come. *hugs*
