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

Charmed, I hope it's just an odd thing with your temp drops and you do get your bfp. Mine dropped before my bfp. I still don't understand why I got mine so early lol but I stopped temping right after so I wouldn't freak myself out.

Twinkie, sorry you aren't feeling well. I hope it passes soon. I can't believe you're 20 weeks already!

Danna, I'm sorry about your doctor. Here they make you wait 3 months. 6 seems like so long. I can't imagine what I would have done.

Afm: AF was supposed to come tomorrow and I'm still a little nervous but I've had little to no cramping at all. Just a tiny bit at about 4 am today. I'm not sleeping well but I'm having to pee a lot so I think that's part of it. I napped for about 2 hours yesterday. DH is starting to really understand what's happening and looking into what needs to be done as far as preparing (buying diapers weekly until baby comes etc). My emotions so far have been good and I haven't noticed a lot of symptoms but I know those don't usually come until after missed AF anyway. I think I am going to test today and tomorrow just to be sure and then next week I'll do a week estimator digi. I know I should just relax and be happy but it's scary.
 
Danna, where do you live that the cream is illegal? That's crazy!

Cdex, I'm really glad to hear that things are still going so well for you! What a great idea to buy a package of diapers every week until baby arrives! That would help out so much once baby is actually here! I'll have to remember that. Well actually, I would really like to try to do cloth diapers once our time comes, but I don't know for sure that DH is 100% on board with that. We'll see. And even if we do, we'll certainly need disposable ones sometimes! I know it's hard to relax because it is very scary; I would feel the same way. But I'm really glad to hear that the lines are just getting darker and darker, and that it's sinking in more! :hugs:

MsE, are you still hanging around here at all? If so, how are you feeling? Have you tested again? I really hope you're doing well! :hugs:
 
cdex-Just to let you know, don't let the cramping worry you. I had awful AF like cramping until around 6 weeks, terrible insomnia for a few weeks, beginning right around 4 weeks and all was well. But I think it is totally normal to worry, it's a scary time and you have so little control over anything about it. The past few months have been so slow and so fast, I couldn't believe we were in last week seeing baby again at 20 weeks and how much had changed since our last u/s at 9 weeks. It was amazing! :cloud9: I'm a little biased but geesh, my baby was beautifl (okay it was only a 2d scan so not that clear, but so very much in love!) It will feel like a crawl, but suddenly you'll look back and think, wow 1st tri went so fast, or omg I'm half way already!

MsE-any new tests!!!?
 
Hey ladies!

Charlie - I live in downtown Littleton now but the house we just bought is on the very east side of Thornton.

Dana - how are you taking dong quai? I took the tincture in capsules. Three a day like the bottle said. I don't believe your doctor. Like PPs said theres a natural remedy for pretty much anything. They just can't promote that because they weren't taught that and it would put drug companies out of business.

Charmed - I feel the same as you.:hugs:

AFM I tested again last night even though I'm only 8 DPO and :BFN: couldn't have been anymore clear. :(
 
I refer to the first trimester as the 12 week wait!!! It was bloody awful, every time I went for a wee I expected to see blood in my pants, to show I was losing the baby! It was only past that first scan that I could finally relax and realise that this is actually happening for me!
 
MrsHudson, random but I just noticed in your sig you have a GSP called Wyatt!

Best breed ever, I have a GSP called Hogan, he's my absolute baby!
 
Wtbam I can imagine the first tri is scary in General.

Yes! DH got Wyatt a couple months before we met. He's a very sweet boy always happy but he has some issues from his past owners :(. I'm getting into more detail than needed but he had a 10 lb splenic tumor removed back in February and the vet said he wouldn't have lived another day. So we take extra special care of him.
 
Oh how awful. I can't imagine anything happening to my boy, in fact one of the things I have hated most in pregnancy is the fact that I must be feeling subconsciously guilty about a new baby coming along because I have been having awful dreams about Hogan dying or being injured, and every time it is my fault. I love my boy so much and I know I won't allow him to be pushed out, I just wish the dreams would stop!
 
Aww! I understand completely. I think about our boys when we have babies. Danzig is my special little guy and thought of him or Wyatt feeling left out breaks my heart. My mom gave me this advice: just keep treating and doing the same things you always did with them. Simple but good advice.
 
Well I was feeling great today, and now I'm trying to eat lunch and it just won't go down. I don't feel sick really, just don't want it.
 
Turtle, it's not illegal per say, just illegal to get it without a doctor's prescription
 
Dana- sorry about your Dr refusing to do anything!! How frustrating!

Twinkie- I hope your feeling better!!!

Charmed- I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for you!

MrsH- very cool I'm in Glenwood springs so about 5 hours away! Lol.

Cdex- I'm so excited for you! And sorry about not wanting your lunch!

Ms Elizabeth come out come out wherever you are! We are dying to know what's going on over there!!

Wtbam- how's it feel to be in the home stretch?! 😎

AFM: I'm about 10dpo or something like that. Should be seeing AF this weekend. Saw the most adorable Halloween newborn stuff last night and my heart sank. Stupid not being pregnant lol I want to buy cute tiny stuff!! 😄

I'm feeling pretty positive about this next cycle though. 3rd times a charm right?!
 
I am not sure if I should post this but just wanted to show you guys how I'm looking. 13dpo today, AF supposed to be due tomorrow.

Yeah that's a bit far Charlie! Although DH and I have made it home from the pool in 2.5 hours.... I know what you mean. I always look at baby stuff and it makes me frustrated. I really didn't think it would happen first cycle but really hoped so. I'm not out yet but my gut is telling me it didn't happen.

Looking good cdex.
 
Lovely progesssion cdex, that's looking really promising for a sticky bean :)!

Charlie I know that feeling :( but hugs! Do what I do and go home and buy things online :haha: I've decided to keep my eye out for baby stuff that I know I'll need or want that's on offer, that way we can save money and not be such a financial shock when we do go baby shopping!

I'm just sitting quietly, I can't tell if any symptoms are real due to my cream obsession but at least my new tubes arrived today so I don't have to worry about that. Didn't get round to calling the Dr about making an appt to talk about my mental health, but called the fertility lady, she supposedly tried to call me Monday but didn't get through, I basically stared at my phone from the time she was potentially calling to when she wouldn't bother any more. No missed calls! She was supposedly going to try this evening but obviously something is wrong with the phones somewhere, I get everyone else's calls, gave her ny work number but she didn't call before I left today. Sigh! Time to go wallow in a pile of progesterone cream, lol
 
I know this won't be a popular opinion, danna, but I can see where your Dr is coming from. The progesterone won't do anything other than potentially give you AF. When I was ttc before & didn't have AF for 8mths, 6 of them were just me waiting. I went to see my gp after those 6mths, who referred me to a fertility clinic.. where the waiting list was around 2mths. The first test they did, was put me on progesterone to induce AF & then tested my blood a few times afterwards to see whether or not I ovulated. I didn't. And I didn't get another AF until I went back on the pill :( I really hope they run tests when you get to 6mths to find out why you're not ovulating. I know it's really awful & heartbreaking, but it will be worth it!

Aw, Charlie! that's so cute! I keep getting weepy over baby clothes atm :'( Theyre all so cute! I'll have to resort to dressing up the dog!

Patience, I am so glad your cream came! just in time! Phew. Frustrating that you've still not heard anything tho!

Ok, so I randomly took my temp & I shouldn't as its evening and whatnot.. nor.ally it's a lot lower in the evening, but tonight it's the highest it's ever been! FX! I've had dizzy spells all day, nausea on & off, back pain & tender boobs. Probably all down to AF coming, but well see! I am praying for a bfp! My ibs has been so awful the last 24hrs or so, really hoping for a good night's sleep tonight! So annoyed, most of my dreams (in between tossing and turning) were about temping! So when I eventually woke up to take my temp, I could have sworn I'd already done it! Haha. Driving me mad!
 
It's okay Charmed, I'm not planning on doing progesterone or anything more than what I tried already, supplements and stuff. I may stop doing opks too, I'm obviously wasting money right now.

Cdex, those are lovely tests! Sure doesn't look like AF is comming for you!

MsE, where are you? I don't think anyone is angry at you or anything, come out!

And I wish you all BFPs ladies!! I know my time will come and that there's a sweet baby somewhere that's waiting just for me and OH <3
 
Good luck Charmed!!!!!!

So how do you all not get devastated when it doesn't happen for you? This is cycle 1 for us, and I knew it wouldn't happen right away but it makes me sad. And I keep seeing friends get randomly pregnant and it's frustrating. I'm so happy for all the BFP's but I'm feeling down.
