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

[ImSoTired]

I hope you are doing well and your pregnancy is treating you well so far imsotired

I woke up today and def had some ewcm again so we BD'ed this morning. CD40 so I am hoping this is for real this time since I have O'ed around this time the past couple cycles. The only thing that sucks is DH is going to be away for the next two nights, so we will get to bd again Sunday night. It would be just my luck I would O while he is away, normally we are never apart Do you think I will be covered well bd'ing this morning and sunday night? (That is if I O tomorrow or sunday)

I am fine. A bit wobbly feeling today if that makes any sense Also sneezy and thirsty, a bit hungry, and a few cramps. Still pretty worried but overall better than I was tues and wed.

I think if you bd'd today and Sunday that you still have a GREAT chance. I'm hoping you maybe even O today or tomorrow and today's will be sufficient. Even Sunday may be covered by todays bding. I'm sending you tons of and

Thank you zilla! In a weird way I just want to go back on bcp and forget about this, I have never been through something that was this disappointing and maddening for this long of a period of time. And not to mention after I stopped bcp in a matter of weeks I got a bloated stomach that has never gone away and I gained 7 pounds. I work out like a maniac eat really healthy for months now and somehow I can't loose a pound? I just don't get it. So I guess the not loosing weight coupled with my long cycles is really getting to me. I never had a problem loosing weight when I was on bcp. I know it is probably due to hormones, but it is just yet another reason I am scared that I have pcos. Hopefully I will find out soon enough.

I'm in exactly the same boat, just one month behind you, so I'll be here for you to rant to as well, if you'll accept my rants! The only difference is that I don't have a cycle to speak of.

I'm now 7 months off bcp and not a peep from AF at all. Put on about 5kgs and just can't lose it, no matter how many Weight Watchers points I count.

I have had scans and blood tests - all normal, apart from a clump of small cysts on my right ovary. Going to the specialist on Wednesday next week, and I just can't wait to get things moving!

Really getting annoyed with not even being able to START ttc because AF just hasn't shown her face! I'm looking for some spark of a good news story from someone who has come out the other side of bcp use and had a normal, not medically induced AF after this long! *please?!*

I went 10-11 months after stopping BCP without AF. Started taking Vitex and about a month to a month and a half later had my first period ever with no help from doctors or traditional medicine. However I am now on day 100 something of my current cycle and haven't seen any sign of AF. I finally broke down and scheduled a doctors appointment for April 12th.

Glad to hear yall are doing okay, I am very busy, but we are going to the lake this weekend to take a break from the new house chaos. My temps are looking weird, don't know what to think. Can't wait for the doctors insight. I got car sick today, which is weird for me, but I think it's because I didn't eat enough food when I took my vitamins.

How is everyone? to all.

Ugg. There are so many miscarriage thresds in the first trimester forum! Girls with early bleeding and all sorts of issues! It's terrifying! I don't think I'll be spending much time in that forum because it's so worrying and negative! I don't need extra worry! If you girls don't mind I'd really rather stay around here and talk to you! I don't want to be scared! I want to be happy and enjoy this.

How is everyone today?Anything new or interesting?

Yes, please stay off the first tri threads, they are bad news! Stay around here, I would love to keep hearing from you, and hopefully join you sometime this year.

As for me I had a pretty good weekend at the lake shooting my gun at the range and riding around on the inlaw's new boat.

 

[ImSoTired]

Thanks. As long as you girls don't mind I think I'll stick around the ttc forums. The first minute you see the +hpt youre excited and then it suddenly hits you that anything can happen and it's too early to know which way it's going to go. It's good to know the reality of the situation and not think that it's all perfect and nothing can happen, but I think the first tri forum is scaring me a bit more than necessary. I feel awful for the girls who have had chems and miscarriages but I'd rather think happy thoughts. As you all know I have a hard time with positivity all on my own I think I'll stick it out here and just use my pregnant friends on my buddy list to discuss pregnancy with. I hope that you all can join me really soon!

 

[Rachel789]

We would love for you to stick around here! I have stalked the first tri forums out of curiosity in the past and I know exactly what u r talking about.no need to stress out when it is not necessary. I just left the beach it was a beautiful day! Trying to keep my mind off the fact that I am on my longest cycle yet with no o in sight.

 

[ImSoTired]

Sounds like you have been having tons of fun lately Rachel! A concert, the beach! Way to keep yourself busy! Just keep bd'ing when you feel necessary. Don't forget you have a dr appt coming up (so does lovetoteach I believe) and I'm sure they will check you out and make sure everything is ok. Even if they could just get your cycles regular I'm sure you would get your bfp straight off. I have an appt coming up as well and I'm pretty nervous cause they will be checking up on baby and it is still so early. Hope we all get great results at our appts this month!

Hi all,

seems like im inthe same boat as many of you. TTC after depo.
Had my last one in may11, had my first af feb 12, but thats it, didnt come in march. Im totally gutted as i wasnt told about the problems just how great no af.

Im considering going to the dr. next week but i think they wont be able to help.

Just a long waiting game i guess

take care all x

How is everyone today?

 

[ImSoTired]

I'm fine. Didn't sleep well last night, though. A bit nervous and worried, but I think everything is ok. How is everyone else?

 

[Rachel789]

Still no o yet, cd 43 longest cycle to date since stopping bcp dr. appt is tomorrow I am going to exagerrate the hell out of my issues so there is virtually no way I will be denied help

 

[Hotpink_Mom]

I've been very busy doing school work now that I'm done with my essay I can start back here again.

Way to go! Insist that they help you in any way possible! That will probably mean getting every test in the book done, but they will be able to rule out any problems. Just tell them that your cycles are very long and irregular. Make ttc a 'second priority' while you are there even though it's probably the first thing on your mind. Otherwise they'll prob want you to play more waiting games! I wouldn't blame you at all for exaggerating! Get the help you need. EVen if they could just help you have more regular/predictable cycles that would help a great deal because you would always know what day to bd and you could relax a bit more! I hope they fix you right up!Oh and be sure to add that birth control might be a factor because I really think that was my biggest problem, all of those synthetic hormones ruining my body. EVen though they liked to pretend that had nothing to do with it (but then why did I go from having a period every 30 or so days before the pill to a 72 day cycle???Duhhh!

My appt is on the 10th. I know they probably won't be able to see much on the scan but I'm praying for a heartbeat just so I can be a bit more at ease. I kinda wish it wasn't such an early appt, then again I just want to go now! I haven't poas in a few days and I'm dying to! I keep my frer on the bathroom counter so I get a bit of confidence everyime I see it. I might crack and buy a box when I go shopping later....

 

[Rachel789]

I don't blame you I would probably do the same! I would be testing every day or two for sure That is good news you have an appt. coming up so soon. I hope it puts your mind at ease and makes you less stressed.

I am going to do exactly what you said, not really talk much about ttc but talk about how I want to find how what is wrong with my cycles, get my hormones checked, ect. I hope it goes well!

OOoh I am so nervous today.Maybe a good test would put a smile back on my face! It's so nerve wracking not knowing whether or not everything is ok in there! Trying to be positive is still difficult even after you get your bfp!
