Post-pill irregular cycles support thread!!

[missangie]

Yeah Miss Angie! I'm glad you found this Thread...Isn't it great? We are not alone!

Ummmm yes I am VERY Jelous TOO! Sooo not fair! I have a feeling that this is our month...

I didnt realize we are so close in our cycle! Its a race to see who O's first ;-)

 

[finallyready]

I went to the Store to buy some OPKs but was shocked to see they were like $50!!! So I didn't buy any at the store...but ordered a whack of 60 online! So hopefully I get them in the mail this week and can start using them! If not then I'll just have to go by checking CM. I attempted temping but it freaked out DH too much hearing the beep go off in the am haha. He didn't like me doing that so I told him I wouldnt' bother and will just test instead.

 

[katiekittykat]

I didn't quite get the temp shift I was after this morning - it went up a little bit but not enough to make me say I'm 1DPO....but last cycle I had a slow rise so I'm not out yet!!

I'm on cd46.....if this is another false alarm I'm going to let it go this cycle and just wait for AF. I've driven myself to the brink of madness with 72 OPKs, constantly checking CM, drinking gallons of grapefruit juice, taking God knows how many pills every day.... If I don't get anything by cd78 I'm going to the doctors - that'll be twice as long as my normal cycle.

I have a good friend of mine who has been on the Pill even longer than I was (I was 12yrs) I think she is going on 13 or 14 and she is getting married Aug 2011. She told me as soon as she gets married she wants to quite the pill and start TTC! I've told her she might want to come off it now to let her body sort itself out first, because I am all messed up, but she didnt' seemed concerned. Watch her get BFP straight away! haha(I hope she does) but at the same time I hope she doesnt' get her hopes up.

two close friends stopped bc a few months after me and one is 12 wks and the other is 23 wks prego! Both of them had regular periods right away. JEALOUS!!

Thats super unfair!! I would have been a mess. A friend of mine got her BFP like last week and wont shut up about it. I was so depressed I could hardly look at her for like 3 days (only because she decided she wanted a baby just because I did) Grrr.... I'm not asking to be preggers just have a regular cycle...

Goo morning ladies, and welcome to all those newbies!!

Katiekittykat - Hope the went with a bang! Sorry you didn't get the shift you were hoping for, but as you say it may take time so give it a couple of days! I know what it's like to be mad!! Heehee

finallyready - I know I can't believe how many either. Suppose the more joiners, the more support for eachother! It is definitely comforting to know you're not alone, but scary that it is so common so you don't know when this is going to correct itself. Some people just won't listen, I'm not entirely sure I would have because everyone I know it happened straight after BC, so naively assumed "it won't be me" like everything else! But it has to happen to someone, as we all know well!!

Missangie - thank you for the Hopefully your body has decided anough is enough for you then hun, and will give you back your regular O! Keep us posted on the results!

Danielle_jone - We feel your pain hunni! We're all in this together, and we will all get our BFP! I took soy this cycle, and didn't work its wonders on me! I'm CD 60-something!

Wouldluvabub - That's exactly what I wish for in the first instance, so we can actually try and enjoy the again! The irregular cycles just adds too much stress

Well, I've had 3 days of the highest temps I've had so far and FF has given me dashed cross-hairs! We won't have caught it in a million years, but if it is in deed O at least I have O'ed! I'm not sure if it's a happy or sad thing though (IYKWIM)!? Will I have to wait another 80+ days for my BFP!? The silver lining will be; something IS happening finally and I can check my LP etc and expect AF, I've never been able to do that since BCP!

Hope you are all well. Have a lovely weekend xxxxx

 

[katiekittykat]

Congrats on the crosshairs MrsH1984 I can't wait until I see mine

 

[AmaryllisRed]

My back hurts (and my neck?!) and I'm weepy. Could be preggo signs I suppose, but pretty sure it's just the witch. FX for everyone else. I'm on day 30, btw. I'll be suspicious if I make it past 38, since that was my longest so far.

 

[MrsH1984]

Amaryllisred - let's hope this is good news for you then hunni, we're all crossing our fingers for you, we need a BFP from one of us soon!!! Keep us updated xxx

Katiekittykat - I would join you in the celebrations but we won't have caught it, so I'm not sure whether I'm happy or not to see them tbh! I'm dreading the thought of waiting 2wks of AF then another 60-spmething days before I O again! I'm sure yours are on the way chic xxx

 

[katiekittykat]

FX the Agnus Castus will sort us both out next cycle No more 50+ day cycles for us!!

 

[staceyw10]

Hi all,

Just popping in quickly to say hello!

AF has gone now for me and im on CD7 so will be starting OPK's soon and hopefully i will O and get busy lol!!

Also had a letter for my ab scan and its on 14th Feb.....of all the days they could give me, i may find out on what is THE romantic day of the year that I have PCOS or maybe this will be our cycle and the screen will show something else for us!!

FX hey!!

Also I have some AC here if anyone wants them. I think there is approx 90 in the bottle and they are from Holland and Barrett. I bought them to bring on AF but as my doc is doing tests etc i dont need them. if anyone wants them just send me a message with your address and i'll get them in the post on Monday (dont want anything for them, just would rather them be if use to someone )

FX for us all the get our BFP's x x x

 

[MrsH1984]

Hi Staceyw10! Good news that AF has finished, now to get busy and get that BFP!! I really hope you get good news on the 14th, if not a bubba in there at least an all clear so you can go home and celebrate V-day in style!!!

I would really like the AC please if you haven't got rid of them!? I will PM you my details if you still have them.

Fingers crossed this is your cycle hunni xxxxx

 

[MrsH1984]

FX the Agnus Castus will sort us both out next cycle No more 50+ day cycles for us!!

That's the PMA we need Katiekittykat!!! Gimme an O, gimme a V... remember to cheer loud hunni!! xxxxx

Congrats Katiekittykat!! Now just get busy and dtd lol and i'll keep (nearly) everything crossed for you!! I really hope this is your cycle xx

Mrs H i've put the AC in a mail bag and have them ready to post for Monday. Hope they work their magic and help you out!

FX and babydust to all for our BFP's

 

[missangie]

Hi all. Im having a really rough day. I just got in the mail all of the estimated costs to move forward with my infertility visits (just with the first round of testing before my actual appt) and it is way more then I was thinking and I am just really sad.

I am PRAYING I will O again naturally and not have it be another 8 months until I do

 

[MrsH1984]

Oh no missangie, that is not good news

I take it you are in either in the States or somewehere similar (i.e. no free health service)? Does insurance not cover fertility? It really sucks that women are not able to have fertility services at free of charge (or even low cost at least)!

I don't know what else to say sweetie, nothing I can say will make you feel any better, but I can lend an ear (well eye really) for you to rant to!?

Do they offer a payment plan sort of thing, if it does become needed? Is there anything else you could try without getting fertility specialists involved?

I do however have high hopes that everything will sort itself out, and everything will resume as normal. I've just read back to see when you came off BCP etc (sorry I can't remember everyone's story), and see it was April. Plus any tests you have already had done are OK, plus you O'ed last cycle. I stopped BCP last Feb, and I am still hopeful that everything will sort itself out soon for me too. We can do this hun, we will both be Mommies one day!!! I'm sure you won't need the fertility work done, please try and put that to the back of your mind and look to getting a regular cycle etc. It will happen, I'm certain of it

MASSIVE hugs to you hunni xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[katiekittykat]

Hi girls

Good luck staceyw10!! Same to you missangie - I really hope it works out for you xx

Well, my temp dropped right down this morning, so O hasn't happened as I expected It could happen today I guess...I have AF like cramps so maybe this is it. Like everyone on this thread, I'm getting very tired of second guessing my body!

Any news from you MrsH1984? Symptom spotting much?

 

[MrsH1984]

Hey Katiekittykat!

This all sounds very familiar... "well maybe it's today, or maybe it was actually that day but charts will correct in a day or so"... it's so freaking frustrating isn't it hun!! Last cycle (that ended up being 70 days) I went through a whole load of scenarios with myself of what was happening, that's why in the end I had to just put the thrmometer in my cupboard, abandon all OPK's etc and forget about it for the rest of the cycle... I was going bloody mad!! Then this cycle, I had a long AF, did SOY and had temp dip on the day I had a +OPK and shift the next day, and this was just CD17, so all seemed sooo perfect! Well, needless to say that it didn't actually happen as now I'm on CD66.

What I'm trying to say hunni is please try not reading too much into it, as you will go even more mad (we're all blooming mad). Keep up with the BD etc and try and read into it after the cycle has happened etc. I know that is near on impossible to do for a woman who really wants a baby, I can't take my own advice that often!

I do really hope you're right though, and O will make an imminent arrival. Seems you have your BD timed well for it being soon etc, we'll be stalking your chart over the next few days, please come back to us with some good news in a fortnight!

Temps still high for me! I'm not SS as there's not a chance we'll have caught it, but I have to say that I have had "symptoms", even though there'll be no bubba there. It's sort of made me quite calm really, as now I know all the "early symptoms" can be just O and will hopefully help me out when we are in with a good chance in the future, so I don't become a mad SS

Can't wait to see tomorrow's temp for you Katiekittykat, keep us updated xxxxx

 

[katiekittykat]

I know totally what you mean - I've been driven to the brink of madness this cycle! If this is a false start it'll be the 4th since cd9

I've already decided that if it is, I'm just going to let it go for this cycle and wait for AF. It was always my plan to DTD tonight anyway, so if it is - brilliant, if it's not we'll just have to keep waiting I'll still temp so I can at least see what's occurring (and so I can take it to the GP if needed), but I'm not doing OPKs again this cycle.

 

[rubberducky88]

CD52 and no AF - joy of joys!!!!!!
I'm not even hoping for a BFP at the moment, i'm just praying for AF to come and stay!!! LOL I just want to know my body is working again! Stupid evil BC!
