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

Hmm just looking at the post ov temps it looks like you have, but looking at all the others really throws it up in the air i would assume if you're still getting ewcm that you haven't, but your body is obviously playing it hard so there really is no way to know just keep bding and hope, will you go to your dr soon it check? Could be like Wtbam when she didn't ov for 3 months, had a few days of chlomid and bam!

Still using them Turtle, no positives, but I keep hoping I missed my surge...

Patience, I went for a normal checkup 2 weeks ago, she won't do anything until six months! Should my few next temps keep rising if I o'ed?

Couldn't find ewcm today, nit much cm at all, will check "deeper" tonight. Thanks for your inputs ladies!

 

[MrsHudson]

Why does O have to be so hard? FF is telling me I am today but I have not checked CM today which I guess I should go do. Either way we're DTD tonight cause I'm in the mood......

Turtle, I was there about 20 years ago, I was really little so I'm sure a lot has changed! Us Coloradans are very proud of our state. The only other place I could live is AZ, and I'm saving that for when I'm old.
On the chemical, I still keep thinking about it but I'm not upset. I can't do anything about it and in a really weird way I'm thankful I didn't realize it because I would have been very upset.

Sorry, but I don't think wtbam used clomid....she started a low GI diet and ovulated like 3 weeks after that....but she did start progesterone to induce a period because she was getting frustrated at how long the cycle was taking...however she was already pregnant so she slowly weaned herself off the progesterone so she wouldn't cause a miscarriage by stopping abruptly....
I was just reading way back on like page 40 or so where I was TTC just reminiscing on old times lol

Danna...my first cycle off the pill took a long time too and I thought I'd ovulated like 5 different times. It was annoying counting down the dpo to figure out I hadn't even ovulated yet!
But when I did! Bam! It was so obvious! I felt really silly scrutinising all my earlier symptoms. I seriously didn't even need the opk to tell me I ovulated.
I started spotting a bit a few days before...I think indicated my "lining" was thick enough and then I actually got really emotional and cried easily, as well as felt nauseous. Then I had obvious EWCM and felt more "in the mood". We avoided DTD during that week and I got my period 2 weeks later and started a new cycle. I'll post my ff chart from my second cycle, which was actually a normal length cycle. I think the first cycle just took longer for my body to figure out I wasn't taking the pill anymore. I also ovulated both cycles on a full moon! And I remember that happening before I started BC as a teen, I'd always get my period on the new moon....
If it helps any of you...I was taking prenatal vitamins, vit D, vit B50 complex, and omega 3 dha every day. I swear the omega 3 helped me have good EWCM! And the b50 helped build my lining.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all of you! Especially you patience and Crazy Charlie!
*hugs*

Here was my first cycle off bcp...

 

[DannaD]

Thank you for showing those charts Wnt2beAMom!
It's so hard being patient, but I'll just hang in there

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Got my BD...come on O

 

[patienceiav]

She definitely did use it, because she had a session of it and didn't think it worked so she got progesterone to take to bring on her period but she had ovulated and caught that eggy!

Great you caught bd Elizabeth, it sucks when you have to instead of just wanting to, ttc is cruel!

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

So true patience!!!!

I'm stressing about no crosshairs yet. Lol. Going to be a long TTC if i don't stop stressing.

 

[cdex67]

Well, I think I ovulated yesterday. Temp was up a bit this morning and my nipple are starting to get tender. Will see what ff says in a couple days. No BD yesterday so hoping we caught it the night before.

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Fingers crossed for ya cdex!!

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

What a roller coaster! Yesterday opk was positive ...5am this morning positive ...9am positive ....11am negative ....holy stretchy ewcm! What is my body doing to me. Lol.

FF does not like this data!

 

[cdex67]

I'd say you're ovulating now msE. Ff won't give you cross hairs until you have 3 days of high temps though.

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

I'm pouting...like a little kid. I want my cross hairs! !

 

[MrsHudson]

We did not DTD last night and DH got an earful this morning because my CM was nice and watery. Not sure if that's an indication of being close to O but I'm hoping so. I watched some slides on another site about CM and it totally helped me determine. Hopefully if we DTD every other day starting tonight we'll catch something....

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Mrshudson...fingers crossed for ya. It's hard to get these men to understand!

 

[MrsHudson]

Thanks MsElizabeth! We're the odd couple where I'm the one that wants it more so I knew it'd be an issue. As I watched him eat all the food he did at dinner last night, I knew he wouldn't be in the mood.

So this morning I said, if you want a baby you need to be ready when I say go lol.

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

I hear ya with the food! Since stopping bcp...I'm told I'm out of control wanting it. He doesn't want it forced. ..but sorry if I like him and want it. Lol

So....how do you not force what you want 24/7. Lol. I keep trying to explain how something changed since I stopped and it's like my hormones are out of control when I'm near O.

We are usually good for every other day....I wouldn't mind being greedy and getting every!

 

[MrsHudson]

I hate saying this but we're like once a week.... there's other factors that make DH a slacker so he's forgiven but yeah most of the time I'd be fine every day.
