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

[DannaD]

Aw ladies can I vent? Just found out brother's-in-laws girlfriend is pregnant.. They haven't been together a year, and a month ago he left her for a coworker but that didn't work out and they're back together, I guess.
I'm feeling so jealous, I was proud that I would probably give the first grand child, after buying a house and getting everything together, but now this... and the future grandparents are very unhappy about it all (their 30 years old son just moved back with them because he didn't love this girl after all), mood is bad :s

 

[DannaD]

Oh and baby dust to those in the 2ww! I know it must be though to wait, you girls are so nice and supportive, I'm glad I found this thread!

 

[patienceiav]

Can't wait to join the pregnant gang you can never wait too long for something you dearly want

 

[twinkie2]

danna! Very frustrating!

 

[patienceiav]

Ugh that does sound like a mess :/

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Been thru that!!! Was married for a decade..never had a kid....brother met girl, 6 months later married. 3 months later pregnant. Mom says "there is something special about the first grandchild". Thx mom, makes me feel like crap.

Three kids later...I feel its still rubbed in my face. They don't mean it...i just take it that way. But, ive come to terms with it. Im free of yuckie ex`s... got my dream man.....come on baby

Lol. Sorry you have to go thru it. Im here for you to vent...totally understand.

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Can I ask you all, as my experts, if this is normal? Apologies now for the graphic content...

So, its my first AF since stopping.... I woke up to nothing...went pee...wiped and poof.. some dark red/brown on the paper....slight drop in the toilet. Went to work. Checked...prob few drops brown in the pad...few more when I wiped...more in toilet...4 hours later...same thing.

Why is there more when I wipe than on my pad? Im used to a combinationfof both and more of red....then brown in the beginning. I'd say in total...if I was to combine all that I saw...its a light day. Usually I'm med to heavy.

This is AF right?

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Turtle thanks. We are actually waiting to fly out until we have to. It's so expensive and I really don't have the money to go anyway but I will be going when it's time. I'm hoping to facetime with her today and at least talk to her. I'm totally useless at work today. I think I've only done an hours worth of work.

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Charlie....did you call the airline? They have fares for these things. Did it last month with my dad.

It's normal that anything coming out your cervix gets a woosh after going to the loo, I often spot my ewcm because of going to pee then suddenly it's all on the paper !

Thanks! Feel so ignorant asking!!

 

[Turtle0630]

Patience, thanks! I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much but the more I think about it, the more I'm letting my thoughts run away with themselves! I think that's a great sign that you haven't started spotting yet! FX that it stays far, far away! Very weird about your uterus vibrating like that; is it still doing that?

Twinkie and Elizabeth, I totally know what you mean. Once you're ready, you're READY! Well, except for the times that you think that test might actually turn positive and you start thinking "Oh my god, what have we done?!" Twinkie, that sucks that you're craving wine more now! Good thinking on having your sister get a bottle for celebration after the baby is born! Speaking of, I remember you saying your twin was trying around the same time you started...has she had any luck yet? It would be so neat for the cousins to be around the same age!

Danna, to you! So sorry, that's really hard. I'm sorry you're going through that, and please vent to us whenever you need to. Maybe the one bright side is that the grandparents aren't excited about this one (although I hope and I'm sure they will be eventually)...hopefully it will happen for you SOON and you can be the one that they're excited for at the time that you announce it? You can be the one that gets that excited, happy, jumping up and down reaction.

Charlie, I'm glad you're at least able to facetime with your grandma. I hope your co-workers are being understanding and helping you out today.

Oh and Ms Elizabeth, don't feel ignorant asking! I didn't really realize any of this until starting to ttc either, I had never really paid much attention to things in that department prior to that!

Hey Turtle, yes her and her hubby feel pregnant back in April and sadly miscarried at 6 weeks. After that they put things on hold as they were in the process of moving and since have decided that maybe they are done. I can tell they still aren't certain of this decision and I would be completely unsurprised if all of the sudden then announce they are pregnant, but as of just a few weeks ago when we talked about it, she said they were not actively trying (doesn't mean it's being prevented though!). She does have 3 beautiful children already and I think they are struggling with the question, is our family whole or should there be one more. I feel really awful sometimes because she's made a few comments about how we were supposed to be pregnant together and could have been if she hadn't had the miscarriage. I absolutely breaks my heart every time. Both of our miscarriages were only a month apart from one another so it also reminds me of our loss.

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Another silly question....this is AF and not withdrawl bleeding right?

 

[patienceiav]

I think withdrawl bleed is the first one you have when you stop the pill, what you'd consider your period when on the pill, so this should be your bodys first natural AF

I woke up to a bad temp drop today, it' too late of a DPO for it to have a chance of going up again when i'm expecting to spot by tomorrow i've also started AF at higher temps than today ! I can't tell yet if boobs are less sore than yesterday, still vibrating on my abdomen soon as i woke up yesterday it would be for around 10seconds every couple of minutes to every 30, then i'd just feel a tiiny bit achey, that i feel today too. I don't feel pregnant this cycle like I did with my last two but we'll see !

How's everyone doing this morning?

 

[Charmed86]

Aw, congrats on your first AF Ms Elizabeth! I know it's not what you wanted, but glad things are working normally for you FX for this cycle!

I'm sorry Patience, FX for you! I knew as soon as my temps dipped that I was out. I hope you're wrong though!

AFM, sorry for a rubbish catch up, I'm on my phone & it's a real pain I've read everything tho. My temp is going up, weirdly. -opks & used my CB of test today, yay. Empty circle tho. Been eating too much rubbish lately so back on the ww wagon. Hubby has free gym memberships with work so going gym later I think. xx

 

[patienceiav]

Good to hear from you ! glad your kit has arrived, it always feels good when AF finishes and it's time to use OPKs, feels like you can do something proactive towards TTC, during AF it's like, fuck my life I can't do crap but watch my body hate me !

I'm feeling good after my initial temp shock, I have managed to surprise myself twice with my boobs today, took my top off to shower and HELLO ! Then put my bra on afterwards and nearly died of shock so still got my boobs at least ! Need to make the most of them while I can soon as they go down I know AF is coming !

 

[Charmed86]

Haha, tell me about it! Absolutely nothing you can do during AF! Although, it's oddly relaxing to take a break from everything, even for a few days I've thoroughly confused myself now though, my AF was 2.5days & out of curiosity I decided to check CP, it's high, closed & I think firm, but couldn't really feel it, it's so high! Shouldn't it be lower? I took a hpt out of curiosity& bfn. I don't know why I'm having such a hard time believing it.

Glad you're making the most of your boobs! There have go be some perks, right? Your chart is looking fab, even if it does end in AF. Hopefully you can get all these tests out of the way now & get cracking! xx

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Thx all. Im full of silly questions.

Yeah....AF is not my friend.....kept me up all night with cramps. Hence why I got on the pill years ago. But if it means my body ready to help a girl out and get pregnant....ill take it!

So until it stops....ill just keep reading about CM. Lol. And practicing BD for when it counts. Lol.

Happy Saturday. Wishing everyone a positive outlook on this crazy adventure we are on.
