Post-pill irregular cycles support thread!!

[katiekittykat]

Hi girls....cd61 for me and still no sign of ov

I've had a bit of a rollercoaster week - went to see the GP on Monday hoping to get some Provera....instead he's going to refer us to a Fertility Specialist! However, before that can happen, OH has to give in a SA to check his little swimmers are OK before they start poking about with me....needless to say, he's not too keen

To cut a long story short, we've had arguments and tears, and he has agreed that he will do a sample tomorrow and I'll take it straight to the lab. Then there's a three week wait for the results.....maybe AF will have arrived by then

My DH wasn't too keen on doing an SA either. At least you can do it from home and just take it in. (he has not done one yet because we found out what the costs of the bloodwork they want me to do and the cost of SA and it totals almost $800. ugh! Luckily I O'd on my own so we are gonna keep trying on our own for now...)

Anyway, Im glad your OH has decided to do a sample and that you are going to see a F.S.!!

So I am 10DPO (I THINK, my temps are a bit wacky IMO) and I caved and did a test with FMU.

I SWEAR it shows the faintest of lines. Enough so that I dipped another test and it looks almost the same. Not getting excited since last cycle I had the worlds most convincing evap on an IC (however todays came up within a minute or two) and because my temps have been really low (dipped below coverline yesterday) and DH said he doesnt really see it.

I think I just WANT to see it SO bad that maybe Im convincing myself that its there!

I think next cycle I will make my DH hide all the ICs and not let me test until AF is late.

Hi ladies.. Just catching up!

CD 35 and I *think* I may have ovulated - EWCM and pains ....

Will let you know what happens in the next couple of days !!

Well it's been 26 days since getting off BCP (oh to the question earlier- yes I stopped mid pack) and no AF yet. Last week from Wed-Sat I noticed that I had some extra CM. So I am hoping that is a sign that my body is trying to regulate its self. Keeping my fingers crossed for that.

I'm still taking Vitex 1x per day and I just added in 2cups per day of pre-conception tea this weekend.

 

[missangie]

so my temp is way below coverline but no sign of AF coming... Im wondering if maybe I didnt O like I thought? Or maybe since I woke up with a cold and was sleeping with my mouth opened that it dropped my temp cause of that? Really thinking I just didnt O. I dont know.

Hi ladies!

How has everyone been this weekend? I have been MIA because I was out of town for a funeral. I'll have to back track and catch up on the thread.

Kitty- I think we are on the same CD? I am on CD 63 today. I hope that we can both hop onto the next cycle soon!

Miss Angie...we are 2 peas in a pod I tested on Sat at 11 DPO and got a BFN! I was so upset, and I was in the middle of studying for an exam (which I just wrote last night). I didn't want to be distracted at all any more, and really needed to study, so I gave DH ALL of my tests so he could hide them from me!

Needless to say, I have not tested since Sat and am not going to until I am at least a week late. But since this month was my FIRST AF from stopping BC, I don't know how long my cycle really is, so I won't really know when I'm a week late. But I'll just test Next week anyways if AF hasn't arrived so I can see what is happening.

I have to admit I caved and pee'd on an OPK test on Sunday and it came back positive WTF? No clue what is up with that....So maybe my cycle is more messed up than I thought. Ugh this waiting honestly SUCKS!

 

[carine]

Hi everyone! I'm currently on cd 45 with no AF in sight and BFNs as recently as Sunday.

My background: I'm 28, married for 2 years, was on BC for about 7 years. I went off BC in May 2010, didn't have AF until July, and from then until December all my cycles were 32 and 33 days, with one 40 day cycle that I think was a chemical.

I just started tracking BBT a week ago because I am worried I'm not ovulating. I don't have enough data yet to be sure, but my temps are all in the high 97s, which doesn't seem high enough for pregnancy. It's been 16 days since last BD...so I feel like if I did ovulate and manage to conceive this cycle, the absolute latest I could expect a BFP would be this week.

It's so tiring just waiting and waiting...and I mentioned something about it to a friend yesterday who had irregular cycles after BC and is now about 4 months pregnant, thinking she'd sympathize with me but she just said, "Oh I hate all that day counting nonsense. Just don't worry about it, it will happen."

Gee, thanks. I don't like all the tracking and data either, but I'm trying to figure out what's going on with my body! If I'm not ovulating, it won't happen, whether I worry or not.

Anyway, it helps to see that you all are dealing with the same thing. Here's hoping for ovulation then BFPs all around!

PEE!!!! Dont wanna get your hopes up but I have read that some who are prego get positive OPKs (I think the rule is that your HPT would be positive before an OPK but if you havent tested in a few days then maybe it is!)

As for me, another REALLY low temp today so FF no longer says I O'd. My nose is so stuffy so I woke up with a dry throat and my mouth wide open. But two low temps probably means I didnt actually O unless AF is knocking on my door in the next day or so (but I dont feel like AF is coming...) What a big bummer when I thought I was 12dpo but now Im just plain CD29.

 

[missangie]

finallyready I NEED an update ;-) Are you prego? Did AF come or stay far away? Ive been dying to hear and hoping you have good news!

 

[bonidee]

I've been off the pill for well over a year and I still have irregular cycles just about every other month or so. Sometimes my periods will be at 28 days on the dot and sometimes they will take up to two months (a couple of times even more) to come around. It's really annoying I'm in a perpetual state of thinking I'm pregnant when I'm not.

[finallyready]

At first it wasn't that frequent, I think for like the first two months. Then around March of last year they started to straighten out some. This month was a regular cycle but when I DO have irregular cycles and finally get AF it's miserable for me. I've honestly considered going back on the pill and giving up TTC just so I don't have to have horrible periods anymore.

Bummer! Well as they all say, you arent out until she shows her face.

 

[Trishg21]

Hey guys, where has everyone gone to?

Feeling a little down lately. I'm on CD 66 and there has been no signs of Ovulation or AF. I also recently found out that my mom needed Clomid to conceive 2 of my brothers. I am just wishing I could go to the doctor and run some tests but she said not until I've been without a period for 3 months. so 24 days of anxiety to go...

 

[missangie]

Hey Trish, I hope you are one of the lucky ones that gets their body back into gear before those 3 months hit!!!

As for me, this is my third cycle since stopping bc over 10 months ago. THat is absolutely crazy and Im hoping before I hit the one year mark I will O again otherwise Im going to pay out the money for the spendy bloodwork and go to my f.s appointment that I keep putting off...

 

[plutosblue]

So ladies, update from me..

I *think* potentially I OV'd 6 days ago.. am now on CD 40 and I am having some very very light spotting,

Will see what happens eh!? I intend to test Valentines so we shall see for sure then!

Baby dust to all!

 

[AmaryllisRed]

"PEE!"
That made me laugh so hard!
I've got fx'd for all of you. Eggies for everyone!
