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

[Ms Elizabeth]

So I'm using wondfo opk....anyone see them get darker...then lighter on one? I've been testing at 11am and then 4pm all week....today i tested at 9am....and its way lighter than yesterday.

Wasn't sure if it was the timing or if it just happens....haven't done a second today.

I've not used those specifically but I've had OPK's get stronger and fainter before the obvious + came

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Ahh, good to know!!!

Cervix position still drives me crazy

 

[Charmed86]

I find it depends on the time of day, I get -opk if I test with fmu & later at night, I only get +opk if I test around 2pm!

Second day of smiley face & no BD OH isn't in the mood & we've had trouble DTD. I'm so frustrated, trying to take comfort in the fact that I've not actually Od yet, so my chance isn't gone. I worry that I seem to be initiating it all the time tho, and it puts pressure on us both. I've just had such a rant at him about it all & that's probably not helped matters. I'm just getting so stress! Argh. I just want to be pregnant already! But you all know how that is! I'm hoping I don't ovulate just yet, if I get a solid smiley tomorrow, that still means there's time, doesn't it? Forgot to take a cheapie test this afternoon. FX for tomorrow!

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Aww charmed....wake that oh up in the middle the night

 

[cdex67]

My Temps are so messed up right now.... anyone try my move yet?

 

[DannaD]

Still no clear O pattern :/
I test with opks once or twice a day but they have varied a lot, some very light and very dark one, no clear 100% positive, but some pretty dark ones around FF crosshairs.

Hi ladies - can I join? Have just read this entire thread from start to finish - I have learnt so much already!

Am 36 TTC#1. Got married in July and came off BCP (Microgynon/Rigevidon) in August after being on & off it for the last 20 years.

First cycle off bcp was 43 days (didn't temp or use opks so no idea if/when I o'd) and currently on CD19 of cycle 2. Had 2 days of flashing smileys on a clearblue advance digi and then got a solid smiley first thing this morning and a positive on a cheapie opk just now.

We managed to yesterday morning and this morning. However, we won't get the chance tomorrow until the evening. I am a bit worried we will be too late to catch the egg?

Hope you are all having good weekends & looking forward to taking this journey with you!

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Hi blue fairy.

Im 36 too...almost 37 ttc #1

I'm one month off bcp. These ladies have been soooo helpful!

 

[twinkie2]

Welcome blue fairy! Your timing is great and it only takes one! I can't believe you read the WHOLE thread!!!

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Well ladies, my great grandmother passed away tonight. I fly out on Thursday for her funeral which will be Friday. My heart is broken.

 

[patienceiav]

Sorry Charlie it must be tough! I hope you have a comforting time with all your family close to you

I've been where you are Charmed, the first 6 months were absolute hell of me stressing over ov and needing to bd and hubby can't handle it so we couldn't bd either, now he still knows roughly what's happening and when but I never tell him anything, and I've had to let go on that obsessive need to bd, as long as it happens every 2-3 days during fertile week and within 1-2 days ov then I'm happy, I can't force hubby with it, he wants it just as much as me but can't go through the motions just because it's time, he has to want to also. Not like us who can suck it up for the cause! Try not to stress eachother out, it's not easy, maybe he just doesn't need to know when things are happening etc? Hang in there

Welcome blue fairy! Wow, you managed to go through all that, I'd probably die inside if i read all my old posts over the past year! Specialists will always tell you as long as you bd 2 times a week on average that you have a good shot, I try not to count out the day after ov either just since its worth a shot just in case I'm sure you've covered it nicely, those swimmers will stay alive for 5-6 days!

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

So sorry charlie. Be strong. Thinking of you.

 

[cdex67]

So sotry charlie, thinking of you. Hugs ♡

 

[DannaD]

So sorry Charlie

 

[MrsHudson]

A little late but sorry Turtle My grandma and I were very close so it was hard for me when she passed. I feel your pain.

Charlie sorry to hear about your loss as well

Well I've been MIA, because we got the house!!!!!!!! They liked our last name matching the street name lol. So it needs some work but we'll be doing all that before we move in.

AF ended on Saturday, so I should be O over the weekend. I guess I know what we'll be doing.....

 

[cdex67]

Congrats on the house mrshudson!!!

Afm: I am beyond exhausted. I have no idea what's going on. I do believe this may be my first true fibromyalgia flare and it sucks. I may be coming down with something but I don't feel "sick" so I don't think it's that and I've been sleeping well, I'm just so effing tired. I don't know what to do.
It appears I haven't ovulated yet and after a couple funky temps I'm back to my normal 96.8.
DH and I may have some big changes coming up. He gave his notice at work and has decided to change careers after doing the same thing for almost 10 years. He has a phone interview tomorrow with a company in florida which is like...1500 miles from where we live now. Honestly I'm praying it goes well. I'm terrified to leave home and our families but we need something new. Please keep your fingers crossed for us.

 

[Charmed86]

I have my fingers crossed for you Cdex! My OH just changed his career massively after working for the same company for almost 12 years! He's loving it though, never been happier. Hopefully your OH is just as happy in his new career!

Congrats on the house MrsH!

AFM - 4 days of flashing smiley faces atm, grr. I've been looking into the ferning microscopes, I had no idea what they were until today.. Just saw the option on FF! They look really interesting, has anyone tried them? I'm thinking if I don't have much luck this cycle then I might look into getting one as OPKs are expensive. I need to buy some more cheapies. They're all still negative, so no O yet. Still DTD as often as we can though

 

[Turtle0630]

Hi ladies, I'm back. My grandma's funeral was today and we just got back in town. I would have loved to stick around with family for another day but unfortunately we had to get back.

Charlie, I'm so very sorry for your loss. Obviously I have an idea about how you're feeling right now. I hope you have a safe trip, and that you get some comfort out of spending time with your family.

MrsH, thank you so much. And congrats on your home purchase! So happy and excited for you!

Sorry for whatever else I'm missing. I'll catch up better tomorrow, I'm pretty exhausted tonight.
