Stopping BCP to TTC***Updates & Progress/Noted Changes Since Stopping BCP***24BFPs***

[MrsHudson]

Hi ladies! Sorry I've been a little absent, I've been following along though! I got some bad news about my grandma yesterday and have just been stressed about that and about trying to figure out things with her. So I've been reading along, just not really responding much.


To all of you lovely ladies waiting for AF, I sure hope it starts for you soon so you can get back to it yourselves! I'm sure it's extremely frustrating waiting around for it, just wishing it would start. :/

I'm 7dpo now. I feel like I'm having some symptoms but they're honestly not really much different from other months so I'm guessing it's probably nothing. I guess time will tell...

I hope everything is ok
I was just about to say, who knew going to the bathroom could be so utterly frustrating?!??!? Every time I go I get excited and then nope, nothing.

Good luck!!!!

I'm good! CD7 and feeling optimistic. Still debating on opks for this cycle. I find stressing kills my sex drive so thinking maybe if I don't worry about ovulation, I might BD more. I'd like to just stick to temping and cm but my cm seems to ALWAYS be watery. I have a doc appt with my primary next week for my yearly physical/smear so I think I will share last cycles chart with her. Just hoping to ov a little earlier this cycle. No bfp for my birthday which is Sunday but DH b day is in November so hoping to give him a bfp

What I did with the digital OPK's was use the cheapies till I thought I was closer to a +opk then swap generally I found them a waste though, if its + on the digi it's + on the ic so

I have miserably light periods, 2 days light then 4 days barely spotting brown :/ hence my thin lining issue worry that the specialist ignores!

I'm so fucking tired, 2ww can go suck it! The progesterone ups my symptoms too, blah

Your chart is looking good atm! I'm interested to see what the specialist says re: your lining as I might be facing a similar problem if this carries on.. 2/3 days is not a good period! & it's not heavy, I could probably get away with a pantyliner! FX your tww symptoms aren't for nothing! xx

I use cheapies everyday now! So far nothing.. BUT I got ewcm earlier today. I started dancing around and then remembered my finger where full of cm and that is gross xD
I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, I hope she is ready for a lot of questions! I feel nervour about telling her I'm TTC for some reason, it's still a secret haha

Mrs Hudson, I've also been using raspberry leaf tea for a while, I hope it works... But personally I love the taste so at least there's that!

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Turtle...sorry to hear that.

I'm just here...waiting for AF. I've been a little witchy lately so she cant be far behind. I know its my first month TTC...but I have a ever so slight disappointment. I held out for that 1% chance i caught my little egg on the first try. Lol

I can dream right?

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Turtle I'm keeping you and your grandmother in my thoughts ♡♡

 

[patienceiav]

Elizabeth have you tested at all? If your past 2 temps were taken 2 hours earlier than the third temp they'd be fairly close to it if you rough guess adjust it

Sorry to hear Turtle, hope it's not as bad as first thought! Maybe you'll be able to tell her she has to be well for great granny duties

I'm not sure if I'm using too much progesterone or if I'm coming down with something lasting cozy in bed for now so can't tell yet, at least there's only 2 days to the weekend if so

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Patience.....no testing here. Why waste. Lol. My temp dropped this morning. So now I really wait.....I think....

Im going to set my alarm for the same time all week. Problem is I have two crazy cats who sometimes wake me up running across my head. I go back asleep...but still

 

[patienceiav]

Ah yeah today's temp kinda says it all that's one perfect 14day lp though, lucky you!

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Awww thanks patience....lets hope af comes. Lol

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

What's worse....tww or waiting for the first af off bcp.....

 

[Turtle0630]

Good morning, ladies! Thanks for all of your kind words and support, I appreciate it!

Well my grandma just got out of surgery and all is well so far, so that's good! Now we just see how the recovery process treats her...she'll be 95 next month so there is of course a big risk that she won't make it through it, but only time will tell!

Patience, sorry you're feeling so sick from the cream. Your temps are looking AWESOME, are you just chalking that up to the cream or does that seem to be a good sign on it's own? So exciting!

My cramping seems to have subsided quite a bit for the first time in...about 2 months? I had some pretty sharp cramps Monday and yesterday, and now they're occasionally barely there but not much. I'm hoping that's a good sign! I did have the SLIGHTEST amount of spotting yesterday though (so light that I never would have noticed it if I wasn't really looking for it), it's stopped now but I always get spotting off and on for a good 3-5 days before AF. That's making me far less hopeful now.

 

[DannaD]

Glad your grandma is doing her best Turtles, I hope she'll recover well

Ms Elizabeth, I've never been in the 2ww but how I see it, you know it's gonna be 2weeks max! Waiting for first AF or O day is much more up in the air xD

AFM, just came back from the doctor! She said that if AF doesn't arrive in the next 4 months to call her and we'll see what test we can do...

BUT as she was doing my test, she said I think your AF will arrive in around 2 weeks, looks like you are ovulating (and since she had her arm up my hoo ha, I decided she must have seen stuff pretty clearly xD)

Today opks is darker than ever before so I'll test night and morning, fingers crossed!

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Dannad....waiting sucks! Lol. Im feeling like af is close....excited my body might not hate me for years of bcp....but sad I lost an egg this month. Sigh....lol

Guess I need to BD more next month. Good luck with your opk!!

 

[patienceiav]

My temp this morning was just crazy, I've never had that high even when using the cream before! It could be because I'm coming down with a cold AGAIN, felt pretty bad on and off at work so many colds going round the office at the moment.

I'm glad your grandma is getting through the surgery fingers crossed she's stubborn enough not to go anywhere just get I think your temps are still looking good, that's the thing about spotting, it can be totally random (like I get) or ib, or pre af spotting you just don't know till the floor gets proper (if it does) you could wake up tomorrow and it's gone! Is don't fret unless you get at least 2 clear temp drops and spotting increases

Danna that's a relief, I've had a VUS when ovulating and she was swooning over the size of my egg if she told you you're ovulating then go jump your man! Why would you think it's too late? Have you had any bd lately?

As a general note to everyone, find the bd that works for you don't be conned into thinking more is automatically better, we BD every other to every 3rd day (normally every other but we don't force it so it's not always 100%) during my ov time, I know a lady who does it about 8 times a day!!! x.x so just as long as you got one shot in within 2 days of ov that's the absolute optimal time for getting those swimmers in

 

[DannaD]

Patience, we decided to wait after the first cycle to try, hence why I'm so impatient for it to come!

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

8 times!!! Ouch
