Stopped BCP & TTC! Whos with me?!

[Flueky88]

So I couldn't resist. SMU with only 3 hours hold. I think the progression is good.

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Fluek I seriously screamed out loud when I saw your post.. The girls at work thought I saw a bug or something.. I seriously am so so excited for you..

 

[Angel5000]

Elle - Oh no! I'm so sorry you've got so much going on! I really hope you don't have lupus. I don't know much about it, but I worked with a woman who had lupus and while it was manageable, it was very much a struggle for her.

Flueky - That's a great line! I think you're getting some good progression, especially for ICs. When do you go to a doctor and do confirmation and stuff?

Gagrl - me too, except I was at home and my husband thought I must have seen a spider!

 

[Flueky88]

Thank you Gagrlinpitt and Angel. I've done that and DH is like wth?!

Angel, I'm getting urine and labs done Monday. I don't think they scheduled an appt with MD just labs only. It's in the afternoon so I won't know all the results til probably Tuesday.

 

[Angel5000]

Yeah probably not MD, just labs at this early. My regular OB wouldn't even see me until 8-10 weeks so they'll probably just order teh labs and check hcg and stuff. Can't wait to hear.

 

[Flueky88]

Yeah I figure they will confirm and then schedule. I think I saw online maybe 10-12 weeks but maybe that was just concerning the u/s.

Anyways will update test (s) tomorrow good night ladies

FLUEKY omg I'm sooooooo excited for you!! My heart started pounding when I saw your bfp! Ahhh! Your progression looks great!! My line progression didn't look darker every day so don't freak out if from one day to the next it's not darker. Ahhh so happy for you!

 

[Elle.T.]

Flueky your progression looks great!!! and Yes I was screened for PCOS when I had a pelvic us when we saw the RE and she saw no cyst or abnormalities on my Ovaries.

will check in from time to time. Hope everyone else is fine.

 

[Flueky88]

Thank you AJANGEL I must have a very strong bean because both are darker today. But if one day it isn't I won't freak out. How are you doing?

Elle.T. I'm sorry I couldn't remember. That's good though you don't have PCOS though

Holy crap ladies FRER as dark as control in 3 minutes. I know things can go wrong but I just feel good about my lil embryo as I did from my first positive. Anyways, TGIF ladies. Have a good weekend

 

[Angel5000]

That's some AMAZING progression! I LOVE how the FRER is as dark as the control! Looks like you've got a strong sticky bean! I'm so excited for you!!

Lets stick together til we all get BFP's! Its hard coming off BCP & not knowing when af will come or when or if you even ovulated. Ive read horror stories about some who dont o for months, even up to a year! I keep hoping i will be one of those lucky ones who regulate soon after but i can only hope!!

Id like a few people who are stopping bc to join me keep us updated & share experiences! Hopefully with this we don't only help each other but the future mom's who come here will see this and know what to expect when coming off bc. If youd like to be added please tell us your age & how long youve been ttc & how long you were on bc & any experiences you've had so far and i will add it to this post. Feel free to share anythihg else too!

Hello

I am in a very similar situation as I was on BCP for 4 years, one year on Yaz and the other 3 on the Nexplanon implant. I just got my implant removed on October 6th because I couldn't handle the mood swings and irregular periods with months of bleeding anymore! As well as my husband and I have agreed that we are ready to start our family

Fortunately I had a short period almost instantly. My af came October 9th but only lasted 3 days. Only bled heavy October 10th then period was pretty much gone by October 11th. I hope I am not the only one who is almost obsessing over everything my body is doing now that I am TTC! I've been paying such close attention to everything and playing this waiting game trying to figure out when I am most fertile. I've heard so many different things from many different people who come off of the implant, some conceive right away others take months or longer. I bought one of those ovulation test kits to track when I was ovulating and I actually had a positive test right before I went out of town on October 17th! Hoping I am pregnant!! We will see, I wanted to see if anyone here is in a similar situation as I've had a lot of interesting discharge (sorry if that's TMI). A week or so after I had a positive ovulation test I started having a large amount of white discharge with no odor but I do not remember ever having that much white discharge in my past cycles before BCP. The past couple days I've been super moody and have been eating an insane amount that I have never been able to eat in the past as well as craving things I've never liked in my entire life. Or maybe not craving them but not pushing certain foods away like I have in the past. Today I had a slight light brown color to the white discharge accompanied by some mild cramping and I am wondering if that's an indication of implantation bleeding?! I plan on testing around November 8th.

Babies are the only thing that's been on the brain!!! Hoping that by luck I am already pregnant with baby number one!!

Anyone else have a similar situation??

Welcome bsestak! You are definitely not the only one obsessing over everything your body is doing when TTC! Most of us are the same. That's great that you were able to get a +OPK so quickly! It took me several weeks after coming off BCP to ovulate (and some women take months before anything starts to get regular). Don't worry about TMI, there's almost no such thing here As for the discharge, sounds like you are having CM (Cervical Mucus) that we would call "creamy". This is very common in the TWW (two week wait - the period post ovulation while waiting for period or possible testing time). It could be a good sign, it could also be your body adjusting to being off BCP. It's common after being on hormonal bcp for long periods of time for your cycles to be different and not match up to what you're used to in your past "pre-bcp" cycles.

You could be having possible implantation bleeding. FX that's what it is. Could be your cycle being a little bit odd as it's the first cycle post bcp. After a +OPK, your body will typically ovulate anywhere from 12-48 hours later and then AF should come sometime between 12-14 days later (this is your "luteal phase" or LP). It can be shorter or longer but the average is 12-14 days. In my case it's closer to 10 and some women I've seen up to 16 days. That should give you a good estimation of when you should expect your period and estimated "test date".

Good luck!

Hi besestak, it is very hard figuring out what is normal during luteal phase after bcp. As far as spotting. I had pre AF spotting for quite a few cycles after bcp I think maybe 6? Anyways, I did not have spotting with my bfp this cycle or with my chemical in July. I hope it is IB for your sake though. I would test the 1st or 2nd of November,as you should have a positive test most likely by then. It's hard to predict your LP length and also without bbt we can't know exactly what day O occured. If negative I would test weekly thereafter unless AF arrives. Good luck

AFM I would post my line porn from this a.m. but I just don't want to feel like I'm rubbing it in any body's nose. I will say I got a 2-3 weeks on digi 😄

Flueky - POST THE LINE PORN!! Congrats on the 2-3 week! That's awesome! I was so excited when I got the 2-3 week on the digi. Though, it really freaked me out that I never got a 3+ when I tested a couple weeks later so don't let that freak you out if that happens to you! I seriously had a panic attack about it!

 

[Ajangel25]

Flukey whoa I think you have a sticky bean in there!!! Ahhh so happy for you. Have you called your doc yet??

How's everyone doing? I am back to work now, it's so hard to leave my baby! He's doing well though, growing like crazy. He's super smiley with mom and dad but a little shy with other people, I'm wondering if he'll have my personality haha. Otherwise not too much new with me!

 

[Flueky88]

Ajangel I know, I really think I do too. I actually called Wednesday with my first positive test. I go tomorrow for labs. Then I guess they'll set up first appt. I'm so excited. It's really hard not telling our parents. Want to keep things under wraps but I have a great feeling about things. I sorry you are back to work now. I can't imagine how that's going to be.


Angel, well if you insist Oh and thanks for warning. I have 2 digits left will probably do next one Saturday, then not sure when I'll try again if it's not 2-3.

I've noticed progression on wondfos slow down but that FRER is fab so I'm not concerned.

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Fluek I am so so excited for you. Everything is looking great!!

Again I'm sorry I hadn't been responding much.. I've been keeping my distance as I've been feeling really down about ttc lately.

 

[Flueky88]

Gagrlinpitt I understand dear. Ttc can be so taxing and even when you are happy for people, you get that awful feeling sometimes it'll never happen. 18 long months of seeing what felt like everyone but me get it's draining. So just come stop by when you are able to. Just try to have faith and I'll pray for you

 

[Flueky88]

Well lab appt went well. No betas and I didn't ask either. My first u/s is 11/17. I'm excited but know it's a little over 2 weeks so I have to be patient. Anyways, have a good week ladies

 

[Angel5000]

Gagrl - totally understand hun

Flueky - wow nov 17 isn't that far away! Only a couple weeks! So exciting!!
