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

[DannaD]

Did you ovulate last cycle MrsHudson or just AF? I'm taking vitex at the moment, only 1 week on it, but maybe I'll try dong quai, I'm kind of desperate

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

You ladies are sooooo right. About everything!

I try and be happy for everyone who just happens to fall pregnant....but secretly despise them. I know I've only tried for a month or so....and my heart and encouragement goes out to all those who have tried longer. I know in my heart I'll be one that doesn't get so lucky. If it happens sooner....I'll be magically surprised.

But i also want to face reality. I'm old. Lol

Goodness this thread is busy indeed! I used to always be the last poster when I checked in on it

I think vitex is a great idea to help ov, just the fertilitea which I doubt is as strong as the medical stuff helped bring my ov forward!

Danna, what sort of stuff do you work with in the gaming industry? Total frothing geek monster here

My OPK's turned up yesterday, I've missed them! It's only cd12 now so puri offaly expecting ov on Saturday, I'm pretty regular on cd16 these days, not sure if that's through my use of the fertilitea in the beginning when I would ov round cd23 or if it's just adjusted after time off bcp.

Your struggles with dtd sound all too familiar, hubby and I got into so many spats over it till I just stopped mentioning anything to do with when ov was, got more done that way just the pressure of knowing we 'had' to would totally kill him!

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Morning ladies. I'm laughing to myself....never in my life would I have thought it would be struggle to get a man to DTD. Lol. All these false things I knew! Dating....men always want. Lol.

I'm just hanging out on my tww. I know I had BD on good days this cycle. But. ..we will see! Not too holpful. Always waiting for some symptom. But nothing. Lol

 

[LavenderLove]

Fingers crossed for you Ms Elizabeth!

It IS really funny how much easier DTD is when you're dating! This last month since getting off Nuvaring we kind of did things whenever with some prodding from me at times. Sexy texts while he was at work probably helped, ahahaha. I have a feeling we'll have to really pace ourselves to keep things fun.

Dong quai reminds me that I need to look into my usual place for acupuncture. If things don't get back to normal for me cycle-wise I'm totally going to give it a go!

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Thx lavender.

I tend to do the same..start at work...especially when I know I shold have a positive opk...doesn't hurt! Rest if the time I leave it up to him. ..or ask if he wants to practice. Lol

Does anyone else feel rotten around the time of o? I can't decide whether it's a coincidence, but this is the third time now that my ibs has played up something rotten as I'm meant to be ovulation! It's so frustrating! Yesterday was the initial attack & today I'm still really sore I really have to push myself to DTD. DH was too tired yest so I didn't force it, I really wasn't in the mood either! I might have ovulated as my temp has risen this AM. I'm thinking I might try to DTD tonight in case I actually o today!

Back on my bike again today, with hurricane force winds and rain storms. Not fun! Can't wait for hometime!

Hope everyone else is having a good day, will update later as I'm on my phone. xx

Patience, I'm a 3D artist, mostly do environments and props :3
It's funny we talk about our CM, cervix position and seducing techniques but we mostly don't know what each other do for a living! xD

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Btw....I take a bus to work....the driver is horrible. Making me so car sick. Can I put nausea down as a symptom? Rotfl

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Charmed. ..hope you feel better! Don't blow away in that weather!

Danna. ..so true. I never realized until you mentioned it! What does everyone do?

 

[Charmed86]

O's are MIA, it's a plot.

Haha, I know! We should have a 'get to know you' post!

Ahh, MsE, hope you don't have to stay on that bus for long! xxx

 

[Charmed86]

Ugh, that's why I don't quote while on my phone. Haha. What is going on with my post? Sigh xx

 

[patienceiav]

You could have ov yesterday but it might not be too late today, think of it as one last shot before you're done worrying about bd for the month but don't panic if hubby isn't in the mood, it's not easy tho!

I work as an office admin for a company selling low carb products Lots of handling orders and billing people! Mwahaha

Danna sounds like a load of fun! But yeah the kinda business that can leave you behind if you take a break. What about everyone else? All we know is charmed bikes and has customers

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

during the day i work for the gvt...tracking down the bad guys

at night i teach classes online

yup, that's about it.

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

charmed.....sucks! LOL. it's nothing but traffic. but the drivers always feel that they can go 40mph to 10mph and then floor it to 80mph.

 

[Charmed86]

Haha, oh MsE, I've been on buses like that! I find they're usually worse in bad weather >.<

I'm a pet carer I cycle to people'a homes and look after their pets. I love it, but not great for when pregnant. I'm chilling out with one of my dogs right now, he wasn't too pleased about going out in the bad weather. Poor pup.

 

[cdex67]

During the day I do community and employment support for adults with developmental disabilities and at night and weekends I work in a very busy convenience store and deli. In my free time (hahaha) I am a volunteer firefighter.

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

What a cool job! My cats would love that! The miss me so much when I go away.

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

cdex....look at you! another with multi jobs!

 

[MrsHudson]

Cool jobs cdex!

DanaD, I'm pretty positive I did not O last month. I like you got pretty desperate and did a google search of herbs to help aid fertility and Dong Quai kept coming up. I went to the health food store and took one as soon as I got into the car and an hour later the cramps started. I had spotting two days later and then that stopped for a day and then BAM! AF came. I know for sure I'm O now.

Charmed this cycle I have the same symptoms as PMS during O. I was just thinking that on the train this morning. I'm very moody and tired.

You ladies seriously make me feel so much better. DH and I did not DTD last night because he was in a foul mood and I was convincing myself he just doesn't want me anymore. Which sucks because I had every sign of O. But you all make me feel better. He would die if he knew this but my last relationship was not this hard when it comes to sex. We were teenagers but sexually we just meshed really well and DH and I have never been that way. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE DTD with him and it's good when we do but we're both submissive so getting things going has been hard for us. I used to try all the time in the beginning but he's turned me down enough I feel embarrassed now.

But, I decided like some of you ladies have mentioned, I am not going to mention O anymore and just try to initiate things again. I don't want to make our sex lives harder than it is.

I work as an Assistant for a Financial Advisor. It's very hectic. I started working here answering phones when I was 18 and moved on up. My boss has become sort of a father figure for me because we're a lot alike. I take the train to work so it's easy going but when we move, I'll have to take the bus. I have before but being pregnant on worries me lol.
