I’m also eating in a deficit and obviously haven’t had any luck lol. I figured I’d rather be a healthier weight if I am lucky enough to fall pregnant. Maybe try slightly less of a deficit, not as extreme as 600? I find the dieting gives me something else to focus and obsess over rather than ttc.I’ve been looking into it and it seems like being in a calorie deficit when you come off the pill can affect your cycle coming back and is generally not great for TTC unless you are very overweight.
Thinking maybe I should stop dieting if I want to conceive? I’ve been eating at at least a 600 deficit for a couple of months now (not every day but I have been losing weight). I figured if I fell pregnant I would stop dieting but in the meantime weight loss wouldn’t hurt as I am still about 10 pounds overweight currently (BMI is a little over 25). Now I’m thinking about it it’s probably not the best idea.
Anyone else dieted whilst TTC and has it affected you? I don’t know if I’m being silly and the idea of having a reason eat more just seems good to me so I’m selling it to myself
Yeah maybe I’ll make my deficit a bit smallerI’m also eating in a deficit and obviously haven’t had any luck lol. I figured I’d rather be a healthier weight if I am lucky enough to fall pregnant.

also, on your earlier post. You may not have ovulated *yetI was stressed out of my mind posting yesterday about not ovulating, I’m CD21 and just got my first peak today! I came off the pill in October, but this is 1st month properly tracking. We are around the same age from what I remember (28?) so you might find this useful. Maybe you’re like me and just having long cycle! Xx
Yeah maybe I’ll make my deficit a bit smallerI will have a think on it.
And yay that’s good! And really reassuring, thank you for posting. I def need to read more people who have just had a later peak so thank you
I have just gone down the rabbit hole on post pill cycles on YouTube and now I’m basically telling myself I will be having a 100+ day cycle or somethingneed to remind myself I am on CD16 and not to be such a drama queen!
Remember most people only ever post about the bad case, not the good! The first time I came off the pill I had a 34 days cycle and then the second time it was 31 I think. So, you’ve still got loads of time!Yeah maybe I’ll make my deficit a bit smallerI will have a think on it.

Really is dependent on how much hormone your body produces after fertilisation / when your egg is fertilised and implants (which can take up to a week I think ?). I got a strong positive about 10 DPO with my last pregnancy but know some people who get a faint one on the day of their missed period or a faint one 7DPO (the earliest I think) so it really just depends on the person xxwhat is soonest day post-ovulation that you can get a positive pregnancy test?

I had this with a blood test (unrelated to TTC) but it was actually that they prefer to give out results from a doctor. I was panicking with mine, but it turned out I had a vitamin D deficiency, so they just wanted to talk to me about it and prescribe the supplements. When something was wrong with my family member, the doctor called her straight away, so hopefully that reassures you. I've also got the NHS app and you can see test results sometimes on that, might be worth downloading to have a look to see? Sending loveSo my blood tests have come back and I need an appointment with the doctor so something has to be wrong. The doctor is going to call on Wednesday so now I’m going to be anxious about what could be wrong for basically a whole week.
I'm thankful that whatever is wrong atleast I’ll know about it soon but I can’t help but have such a dropping feeling in my stomach from worry

I am sort of trialling a few at the min to find my fave! I do like pre mom but think I prefer Ovia at the min as it seems to be the only one which actually adjusts its predictions in line with my inputs.I found Flo annoying. It was constantly pestering me to sign up for the paid version so I use premom instead.
Ovia is great, clue is my favourite period tracker though. Was gutted when they changed it to not show your fertile period as usually that was really accurate for me - now it seems to be all over the place!I am sort of trialling a few at the min to find my fave!

Correct me if I’m wrong but clue does do this! Apple health and easy at home don’t.Really wish the apps (Flo etc) would alter after you put in you haven’t ovulated the day they predict. It predicted my ovulation for CD15, I’m CD17 and have logged my negative OPK results. Still now when I got to use it, it’s all like ‘you are 2 DPO, you should expect to feel this way, test in this many days’
Well no Flo hun I won’t be testing bc I haven’t ovulated yet have Ior the last few days it was like ‘oh you’re super fertile right now’ again... I’m not but cool thanks for reminding me.
Are you using the pink clear blues or the purple? The pink ones don’t do flashing smileys - just the static smiley on peak day, whereas the purple ones do flashing ones the days leading up to your peak, then the static. Just clarifying this as I had the pink ones and read on here about flashing smileys and was so confused but the pink ones don’t do that.CD 16, still getting the blank face(day 3 of using CB) I was hoping for at least a little flashy face as I feel like I have other signs, yesterday’s LH strips still low too and haven’t done today’s yet.
Just want my body to start doing something already, clearly it’s taking a while for my own hormones to start working. 19 days off the pill now and more and more conscious it could be weeks still yet. Was hoping I’d be one of those lucky people who just ovulates straight away but guess not.
Definitely the purple ones, I got them because I like the idea of the flashy smiley a few days before but I know some people go straight to the static one even on the purple (or only get the flashing one!)Are you using the pink clear blues or the purple?
