Ladies TTC After Birth Control

[MissFox]

Lucy- I had HORRIBLE symptoms coming off of birthcontrol. I had every possible pregnancy symptom for nearly 3 months! Of course the main thing showing that i wasn't was that a day before AF my sore boobs would dull down, most of the other symptoms would slowly fade. Then just painful cramping until AF was almost done.
I would on occasion get a little emotional before AF and had bad cramps that would last one day. Sometimes my boobs would hurt but never like that!
I did a cleanse- just to try to get my body wrking right. I can't believe what birth control did to my body!! Good luck TTC.

ok so I have just come from the doctors and I am super excited as the scan showed 3 large eggs ready to come out. The eggs were 25mm, 24 and 20. I had the trigger shot and now the rest is up to me, DH and God. They are giving me progesterone again to help me along just in case we get lucky with one of those eggs. Doctor is really hopeful for me as the eggs were so much bigger than I have had before and my first cycle on Femara only produced 1 egg so it shows it is now really kicking it.

Called DH as soon as I got out of the docs and he is excited and said he is definitely up for loads of BDing.

I really really hope that this is our time, maybe the holy month will bring me good luck.

Hi ladies! Its been rough on my side cause DH had 2 deaths in his family within a week of each other and a friend of mine died too so thats 3 funerals we have to attend in 2 weeks, all of them from cancer. Anyway, we're doing ok, I'm in the 2ww now but nothing to report, too early for ss.

OMG! Congrats MissFox!! I'm so happy for your BFP! I've been away waaaaay too long, congrats again!!!!

I"m so sorry to hear about all the losses! That's horrible!
It has been a long time and thank you! I've been meaning to add you to my sig- cheering for you to get yours! It would be great ot get to be bump buddies!

 

[AJThomas]

^Yes that would be great! I'm just trying not to think about it too much and get my hopes up too high.

 

[MissFox]

That's what I did the month I got my bfp. I tried to not think about it, I didn't test early- and I didn't expect it to show up when I did finally test.

 

[awaitingrmb]

Did 2 rounds of provera to induce period.. they worked, but didn't "jump-start" cycle like it was supposed to. Started Femaprin (vitex) 6 months after stopping the pill. Got AF that April.. last time I saw her... just got a BFP yesterday! Good luck to y'all!!!

GOOD LUCK! Very exciting about the BFP
