I know there is a newbee section but I have been lurking around here for a few days and feel this section will be my new home in the months to come.
I tend to talk a lot so here is goes:
Married August 2010 and honeymoon March 2011. Off BCP when I got home from my honeymoon and wasn't planning on ttc for a few months. Started reading online forums and thinking more and more about ttc. Read somewhere that if you get pregnant as soon as you come off the pill your chances for twins is increased so I got excited as I've always wanted twins and decided it was time to start trying right away. Hubby was on board and liked the idea of twins too.
Had my wdb about a week off the pill and two weeks later I seemed to have the ewcm so we started trying right away. Felt really hopefully that it was going to happen right away for me and started to get excited. Ended up having a horrible flu during the tww and knew it probably didn't help my chances with things sticking so lost hope that month. Ended up getting my second period right on time on cd29 and was hopefull that my cycle was going to be on track after coming off the bcp.
Went out and bought some ovulation test strips because I wanted to get the timing right since my hubby works out of town a lot. Well I was testing and testing and finally around cd22 I gave up and started to get worried. I didn't have any cm like I did the month before and started to think I just wasn't going to ovulate that month. Around cd40 I decided to make a doctor's appoint even though I had read it was normal to have irregular cycles after coming off the pill. I started reading about PCOS and started to think the symptoms sounded like me. My doc scheduled me a pelvic ultrasound (probably only because I told him my sister had been trying for 3 years and my sister in law 7 years with no success so I was starting to panic). The results came back that my lining was thin and I had a cyst on one of my ovaries - everything seemed normal and he wanted me to get some blood work done when I was around cd3. Well at this point it was getting to cd60 and still no period so I scheduled the blood work anyway for the following week. I ended up having some spotting for 3 days which seemed like it could have been my period but it wasn't even tampon worthy so I was still thinking my cycle was wacked. I went out and bought some more ovulation test strips and starting testing again around cd8 (or what I thought was cd8 anyway). On cd12 I got a +opk and I was so excited! hubby was excited too and we got it done twice that day and once the next day but then he had to go away to work and didn't get to do it again. I still felt like we had the timing right so I was going crazy during the ttw. Around 10dpo I thought for sure I was pregnant. I started smelling things I don't normally notice, I had twinges, my boobs were sore and nipples were hard constantly and I just felt different. My hormones were also crazy and I would start crying and was just a hormonal mess. I started testing around 11dpo and it was always negative, I even had some spotting on 12 & 13dpo. Ended up getting my period on cd27 and was so sad because I thought I was so sure I was pregnant. So here I am on cd4 and this time my period is full force. The only thing I'm trying to stay positive about is that my cycle is hopefully back to normal.
Some things about me
- I'm way more hormonal since coming off bcp and hubby is really noticing my mood swings
- I was on the pill for as long as I can remember so I don't really remember what my cycle was like before the pill
- I hated getting my period so I would skip the sugar pills and just keep taking the next month's pills so in 6 years I probably had 5 or 6 periods
- my sister has been actively ttc for 3 years and has had every test done and everything has come back normal (she is 5 years older than me)
- hubby and I will be 29 this year
- hubby does not like hearing about my cycle but it's all just so interesting to me that I like to share it with him. He really didn't like it when I referred to my wettness down there as mucus, lol especially when I referred to it as egg white mucus!
- he does not perform well under pressure so I need to keep things light and stress free
- I'm an all or nothing type person so when I was trying to lose weight I joined a weight loss forum and didn't think about anything besides losing weight so now that I'm ttc you can imagine my crazyness
- I just had two good friends get pregnant and weren't trying - didn't even want me to try because they like partying with me. Neither are married yet and it's really hard for me to be excited for them
- my mom wants a grand child so bad - I have two older sisters and still no grand babies. My mom had me when she was 30 and I used to be mean and call her an old mom and now I'm going to be 30 and I don't even have one baby and my mom was on her third.
- I haven't gotten my blood work back but I don't want to make another doctor's appointment yet because my cycle seems to be back on track and I don't want my doctor to think I'm trying to hard (since it's only been since the end of March that I've been trying and he's warned me that he can't refer to me a specialist till it's been a year).
- A lot of my friends have babies and when I go and see them I want to steal them - especially the baby girls - I want a girl so bad. Hubby wants a boy.
- Because it's taken my sisters so long I'm losing hope it's going to happen to me.
- As you can see I have no patience!! When I make my mind up about something I can't rest or stop thinking about it till I get it.
So sorry that was long but it feels good to get my story out and maybe there will be some people that can relate to what I'm going through.
