Anyone who is ttc having trouble with their cycles due to previous bc use?

[Rachel789]

I carried high. But I don't think it means anything, yet another old wives tale. They are fun though!

We are team !!! My little Coraline Faye

Aww congrats that's so exciting! Love the name!

 

[ImSoTired]

Congrats on your little girl, Michelle! How exciting!

 

[ImSoTired]

Cd 19 today and got a pos opk yesterday! It's so exciting and nerve wracking to be TTC again!

I hope you're all well!

 

[Rachel789]

So exciting! I hope it doesn't take long for you to conceive this time. I originally wanted to start in November but we are going to Philly for Christmas and the last thing I want is to risk being sick in the first tri while traveling during the holidays with a toddler. So we are going to wait until December or jan. I am looking forward to it!

 

[ImSoTired]

Yes! Very exciting. I'm all nervous and giddy about it like I was when we first started trying. I truly hope it doesn't take to long but I'll take what I can get. No high expectations here! I'm officially in the tww today.

 

[Rachel789]

Yay I hope you caught the egg!

 

[Lovetoteach86]

Yay ttw time, always exciting when there is a possibility At least it isn't taking you forever to ovulate this time around, it seems like time has flown and your last ovulation wasn't that long ago. The hardest part for me was the long stretches I had to wait before I had another chance to try again. The tww seems like it goes on forever, but thinking that this could be THE time is the best feeling ever. My bfp seemed to fall into my lap like magic after 9 months of waiting to ttc again. I feel crazy for thinking this sometimes, but I really do think our little ones just wait around for the right time to make their entrance into our lives.

Also... here are some pictures of baby from my scan on the 14th of this month.

Michelle look at those little bitty feet! She's adorable!

I'm 3dpo, I think. I'm hoping I actually ovulated according to the opk and I'm not just sitting here thinking I've ovulated and I haven't. I ordered a new batch of opks that were apparently delivered to the wrong address . I'm kind of embarrassed thinking someone across town opened up my opks. Ugh. But anyway, I'm still trying not to worry and not to get my hopes up. You're right Michelle, maybe it'll just happen when it's meant to be. I'll try and be patient. Cait is keeping me plenty busy anyhow.

I hope everyone is well.

 

[Rachel789]

Love the scan pics!

 

[Lovetoteach86]

Most people won't even know what opks are, they probably googled it to find out and got way more information than needed, lol. I had to explain to my co-workers how in-depth the female cycle really is. Even the females didn't fully understand ovulation timing (they just accidently got pregnant).

Hopefully the company is going to fix their mess up for free!

 

[ImSoTired]

I hope I get either my opks or money back....silly mix up. It's never happened before so it must be the company amazon sells them for.

 

[ImSoTired]

So I took an opk this Am just because I had the urge to pee on something. It was positive. Yeah..So I'm thinking maybe I didn't ovulate when I had the last positive and I'm back to getting multiple positives a cycle. I know opk's aren't very accurate with fmu or whatever, but it's just so positive. I don't know what to think. I knew TTC wouldn't be easy the second time. Oh well.

 

[Lovetoteach86]

Dang OPKS, it's just so confusing. I didn't have too much luck with the ones with the lines, but I know that the digital ones get expensive when trying for multiple months in a row... I could never be sure, which is why I was trying multiple different ways to monitor ovulation. I don't know why ttc has to be so complicated. I don't think I would ever be sure of ovulation without my temps reflecting the temperature shift.

 

[ImSoTired]

I have no idea what's going on in my cycle (how I wish I could temp!) but all I can do is hope that I ovulated by now, even if it's not when I thought it was. I'm having a breakout again, which I haven't had in months, so it's making me think something is wrong again. Maybe a cyst or something, I don't know. I have decided not to trust that opk though, because I did take it in the morning and It's an answer brand that I've only just started using. When I take an answer brand and a wondfo (which were sent back to the post office and re-routed to my house finally) at the same time the answer brand is much, much darker every time and positive more often than not. I'm wondering if my hormones are a bit too strong for that brand? I've heard of it happening rarely. Anyway I'll be more than happy to start my period in a week or two and get on to my next cycle which will hopefully go much better and maybe even result in a bfp? Ive got to get back to exercising regularly, maybe that is why my cycles are going crazy again. Anyhow I've got to try something. I'm trying to be optimistic.

Other than the weirdo cycles, breakouts, and Cait throwing a ton of tantrums lately, everything is fine. I'm sure things will start looking up in no time.

I hope everyone is well!

 

[Rachel789]

Maybe the breakout is a sign of a bfp you never know! I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I nursed Shaelyn for the last time Saturday night. I felt it was time to wean so I could have my body back for a bit before I ttc again. I am sad and really miss it but she seems to be adjusting well which makes it a lot easier emotionally!

How are you feeling Michelle?

I was on depo for 6 years and just came off in November of last year when my shot was due. I just recently had my first cycle at the beginning of April and did't get another cycle until the 12th of this month. It is hard for my husband and I TTC with irregular cycles.

Aww. I have heard that it takes some women a while to get back to regular cycles after the depo shot. I hope that you can get back to regular soon! Best of luck to you!
