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

[DannaD]

So sorry Turtle, hang in there


Afm, FF keeps putting my O day all over the place and making me hopefull and then not xD, I don't think I O'ed yet but I'm 3 dpo for FF as of this morning.

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

I'm starting to get nervous to see if I'll O this month.

Second month off BCP!

Danna can you link to your chart? I'd love to see it.

Afm: very positive opk this morning along with a big temp rise so assuming the temp is a fluke and I haven't ovulated yet, which is probably good cause of no BD last night. We were super tired. Definitely going to try to BD tonight!

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Cdex....too tired last night as well.

Hopefully tonight...although think its too early in my cycle. Opk is still mid color....but....got a big ole ewcm this morning. Im soft and open (give up on height). Lets keep the ewcm coming!

 

[patienceiav]

As long as you have fertile cm I'm pretty sure you can stuff figuring out the height you generally won't get ewcm unless you're fertile (or sometimes it's an early pregnancy sign, it happened to me!)

Cdex this mornings temp does look off, how much later was it than you normally wake up? I figure 1dpo is still worth a shot since you cannot pinpoint ov more than a 24 hour window so even when you think you might have O'ed it might still be a chance left Thats how I roll at least, helps me de-stress ttc bd!

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Lol....ewcm....check! Now to get my temps in order!

 

[Charmed86]

I got my first flashing smiley face today Not sure when's best to BD though? Every day? Every other day? I know people can get the flashing smilies for days! Would it be too late once I get the solid face though? Ack, so confusing! I got my +OPK last cycle bang on the day of O! I wish I could see into the future >.<

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Charmed....what are you using to test?

 

[Charmed86]

Charmed....what are you using to test?

I was using internet cheapies, but for this cycle I bought myself the ClearBlue digital ovulation kit It's so weird, I wasn't expecting it to show anything, I honestly thought that my cycles so far have been flukes! I squeee'd with excitement when I saw the flashing smiley!

 

[twinkie2]

Not to late when you get the solid smiley. The smiley detects your LH surge which occurs BEFORE you ovulate, so make sure to BD after you see that solid smiley, but whenever you can during the flashing is good too. Some ladies have such a quick surge that if you don't test often enough, you may not see that solid, so get busy lady!

 

[DannaD]

I'll post it this evening Cdex, actually I'll try to figure out how to add it to my sig

I decided to stop trying thr cervix thing, I'm thinking that by putting my hand in there all the time I'm begging for an infection,
I mean I clean my hands but still, I'd spend my whole day in there checking for this or that xD

It was actually an hour earlier than usual lol.

 

[cdex67]

A bbt adjuster actually said it would have been around 97.53 if I had taken it at the right time...just seems off...and I slept really well too.

 

[DannaD]

Look ladies, my signature is working! XD
Considering the job I have, it's very sad I found this thing so hard to do....

 

[cdex67]

Hmm...you're right danna, honestly to me it doesn't look like youve ovulated but I could be wrong...

 

[patienceiav]

Dang Cdex, what an odd temp ! Tomorrow should give a better idea what's going on, I always wait for the next temp when I have one i'm not sure about

Great Danna, now we can see too ! Judging by the rest of your temps it looks about 50/50 if you've ovulated, closer to the beginning you have a similar curve that goes down again, only time will tell, fx !

Sorry for being quiet yesterday, was busy at work and had a bad head day felt like I was going to fall over when I was sat down at work, crazy vertigo ! Went home an hour early and slept for 2.5 hours, then went to bed later on and had another 8 i'm worried AF won't be gone for my HSG tuesday, worst case I'll get my blood results and have to try and convince her to help me some way !

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Waiting to see crosshairs is torture

 

[DannaD]

Yeah I know it's not an impressive curve... The last curve is when FF thought I ovulated as well all the signs were there but no AF, it mept telling me to test for pregancy.... I haven't have an AF in a whole year,I miss it

Do any of you know anything natural I could try to bring on O? I'm already drinking tons of raspberry tea, dairy products, good alimentation overall :/
I'm just afraid of making it worse by trying something strong like vitex.

 

[patienceiav]

I drink fertilitea, it's just a mix of natural herbs including raspberry leaf and agnus castus (vitex) I think it helped me regulate ov after bcp, went from cd23 to cd16 with it could be worth checking, especially nice in this cold weather though I have every cup with a spoon of honey!
