Stopped BCP & TTC! Whos with me?!

[mininun1]

Thank you mininun! It indeed is wack... So many years trying not to get pregnant and now freaking out... I had a surgery on my right ovary when I was 14 so who knows if it's even functioning... Had a painful sensation in that one during sex on 6/27 (only in one position). I'm so bad at waiting...

I'm very impatient as well! I went off bc in March after being on it for six years - I think my body is just now really regulating. So it really can take a while - but I do know of people who got pregnant the very first month off of bc. Hopefully when you see your doctor in a couple weeks, he can set your mind at ease. In the meantime, red raspberry tea helps with the cramps, and to strengthen your uterine lining as well. And it's yummy!

Man I didn't realize this was going to be so emotionally draining! I'm having an emotional battle because I keep thinking well *maybe* I ovulated and *maybe* this is an early sign of pregnancy because I keep having odd symptoms--the last 2 days I've had a lot of dizziness which I've never had before (I took my blood pressure, it's normal for me), and I'm an avid weight lifter and the past few workouts have been horrendous..I'm super weak and get shortness of breath SO easy which is totally out of my norm. But, my FF temp chart doesn't even show I ovulated. I thought maybe I ovulated at CD 15 (based on a slight dip and rise in temp plus my CM) which would put me at 6 dpo but FF is saying it hasn't even detected ovulation (and I posted my chart in another thread for some input and they all agreed they didn't think I ovulated.) So I think I'm just having wishful thinking. So frustrating!

Any updates ladies?

I'm on cycle day 35 today. I think I'll test tomorrow if AF is a no show. I do not expect a BFP, though.

 

[mininun1]

Hi Flueky! Are you having any symptoms at all? Lily from the June thread felt out of the running all the way up until her bfp- so you never know!! I'm getting ready to ovulate in a few days. I'm drinking lots of red raspberry leaf tea and preparing for lots of bd-ing.

Wednesday I had this weird pinching cervix briefly. It was like the discomfort from a pap smear. Nothing really much else to report. I'm thinking of ordering some opks and bbt from amazon. Will update tomorrow whether bfp or bfn.

Good luck on ovulating and BD! I hope to see some bfps!

Hi flueky do you chart? I'm on cd 27 and according to my temps I haven't ovulated

Any updates, Flueky? Did you get your bfp??

 

[PinkPandy]

Are any of you ladies actually feeling better since coming off bc? This is my first cycle without it and I actually feel great, granted it's only 2 weeks in. Ideally I will ovulate this week sometime. Really though, I am sleeping better and have more energy throughout the day.

 

[Flueky88]

Sorry girls, I had to work this weekend and it was so busy! I had a bfn on the fourth. AF came today. So my second cycle was 38 days. I am planning on ordering ic opks and start them around cycle day 12-14.

I still feel like temping will stress me out and stress can delay ovulation so I think I'll wait. I'm soor AJangel, I hope you will ovulate soon.

Pink, I don't notice much of a difference now. I think my hormones are taking awhile to regulate. I am hoping I get a positive opk on cycle 3

Ladies, any updates? Ovulation? Getting ready to take hpt?

Hi Flueky! Hope you are recovered after the weekend - what industry do you work in? I'm with you on temping, I am sticking with the ovulation kits for a while. I should ovulate in the next few days - so DH and I are BD'ing every other day from now through next week just to be on the safe side. Hoping that egg sticks!

 

[Flueky88]

Mininun1, I'm a home health nurse. We had limited staff due to weekend and holiday so that meant I was loaded with patient'sand drove over 100 miles each day. Yeah, I slept til 10 this a.m. So I feel better, haha

Yeah I'm glad you are with me on temping. So many people do it and that's fine, I just don't think its for me. Sometimes I'm on call so that would mess with temps.

FX you ovulate soon, catch that egg, and its a sticky one

 

[PinkPandy]

So I'm at cd13 and have had ewcm for 2 days now. So far the first cycle off bcp is going well. So I'm just bd'ing every day and just waiting for the bbt rise. Hope all goes well.

I know what you ladies mean about temping though. I've started to have dreams about making sure I do it in the morning. And I'm over analyzing everything.

That's great! Glad to hear your first cycle off is going well. Yeah, I don't knock anyone that does it. It's just not for me.

I thought I was starting AF but I just had light spotting. I put a tampon in cause I thought I started but it barely had anything. I've not had anything since. I just want yo say, "body make up your mind! Get back to normal!". Sorry had to vent

 

[mininun1]

Flueky that light spotting could be a good sign!

 

[Flueky88]

Yeah, I'm a little hopeful but cautious. Does that make sense? So I think I'll test Saturday if AF doesn't make her appearance. I will let you ladies know the outcome good or bad

 

[mininun1]

Definitely makes sense but I think you have a great chance at a BFP! Here's hoping that the witch stays far away from you.

 

[PinkPandy]

Good luck flueky, sounds promising

 

[Flueky88]

Still no AF. I will test tomorrow with fmu. I'm so anxious about it though. I bought some ic opks yesterday so I am prepared. If it is BFN, I hope that witch shows up soon.

Thank you pinkpandy and mininun1!

to everyone

 

[Flueky88]

BFN for me ladies. If I don't start AF by Friday, I'm calling my gyno. This is cycle day 43, so I am ready for something.

 

[mininun1]

Sorry to hear that, Flueky! Maybe test again in a few days?
