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

Out of curiosity I just had to Google Ascariasis. Seems like one of the risks for getting it is "living in or visiting a warm climate." Hmm, like Brazil? :dohh:

Yup and living in unsanitary conditions. Sounds like we have a winner lol. My guts don't feel so good today. I just want to go lie down.
 
I called the Dr office yesterday and left a message to see if they will refill my clomid prescription. I should hear back Monday. I'm still pretty depressed about AF showing up. But my hubby is the best and has been super lovie and comforting, which was helping, but now he's at work and I'm tearing up while sitting in the kitchen. 😭 I don't even want to put our new rug in the living room and I was so excited about it on Thursday.

I might be MIA for a few days. I'll probably still stalk the thread, but I'm just really depressed right now. FX for you ladies
 
I'm so sorry Charlie. Cry and vent if you need to and get it all out, we're here for you. :hugs:
 
I've really missed a lot while I've been taking some time out! Charlie, I am so sorry AF showed for you :( I know this isn't really helpful, but even with Clomid it can take some time.. please don't lose hope! Take care of yourself

Oh no! A parasite! MersH! That sounds awful! I have a weird fear of things like that.. and head lice. Haha. You're so brave, I would be freaking out right now! I hope you feel better soon.

Afm.. I had the weirdest dream last night, I got my bfp! I then got so mad at DH because he was rushing me out of the bathroom & so I ended up shouting that I was preg at him! what a way to tell him. Haha. This is the weird part.. I got up & thought oh what the he'll! I'll test! I've been using IC for the last few days & they've come up as bfn every time. It's 6am & I figured I'd take a test, it's be negative and I'd go back to sleep.. but there's a tiny, faint line! I can't believe my eyes! I sent a photo to my friend & she can see a line too! So glad I didn't used an IC! I'll see if I can attach a photo, I'm on my phone atm. DH is still asleep so I can't tell him! I need to buy a toaster! I don't want to get my hopes up too much as I'm only 12dpo & I know it can disappear :( But for now.. I think I might have my bfp! :O I'm in shock!

Welcome back Charmed! That DOES look like a tiny BFP! :D Could be time for a toaster, indeed! I totally understand the worry about it disappearing, though.

Were you going to tell DH with the toaster? Or tell him then get the toaster? I forget which one it was. Man oh man I hope that line stays there!
 
Thank you Lavender! I keep checking the test, just to make sure the line is still there! :haha: I don't know what to do! I have so many thoughts.. do I tell him now, even though there's a risk of it being a CP, do I wait until period is due? and test again.. do I get the toaster or do I wait? omg. I am in shock, I didn't think it would happen! I'm paranoid it's just an evap. It came up really quick, I saw it as the dye went across, but I've had that before. Normally it just whites out, but this time, when I looked after washing my hands.. there was def something there! I don't believe it! I might nip out while DH is working and but a toaster, wrap it and put it under the tree :'D
 
It's toaster time Charmed!! That's definitely a pink line!! Merry Christmas to you! Wishing you lots of sticky dust! :dust:
 
Thanks Mkyerby! I am freaking out a little bit! DH is asleep still & I don't know whether to tell him or get the toaster! Or maybe take him shopping for a toaster. I am so excited, I can't believe it. It's not really sunk in.. it's such a faint line, I'm scared it will disappear. I keep checking it! I don't know whether to take a digital test, but they're not as sensitive are they? I might have to wait a couple of days for that.. I don't know if I can hold off telling DH until then tho! Should I wait until I'm late for AF before seeing my GP?
 
Yeah I hear the digitals aren't as sensitive. You could try an FRER maybe? If that's got a line then I'd say go out and get that toaster! :)

I myself would wait to see a GP until AF is late, but it doesn't hurt to go, though!
 
I know, it's so exciting and terrifying all at the same time! I think it'd be cute to get a toaster.. or maybe just tell him hey we need to go to the store and when he says for what say we need a toaster! I could have never kept it from my DH, I took the test, sat it on the counter and walked out and made him come back into the bathroom with me to look so we would be able to share that moment together (not that I knew/expected it to be a bfp though!) I would hold off on the digi for a few more days... do you have any other tests? Digi's aren't as sensitive and I don't want it to scare you if it says not pregnant just because you don't have enough hcg built up yet. Each doctor's office/each area has their own way of doing things so I'm not sure... for me I just called my obgyn the Monday after my bfp and said I got (multiple) positive hpt's and they said congrats and scheduled me for my 8 week apt and that was the first time I ever saw a dr. Here they don't do confirmations or anything unless it's some special circumstance, you have to wait and worry until your 8 weeks along. Might be totally different for you though.
 
Congrats Charmed! I hope your lines get darker and darker!! So whats this about a toaster?? Confused lol!

Little update on my first cycle off BCP-
Got AF 2/3 days after finishing the pill
CD4- AF ended
CD6-9 Ive had fertile CM (watery and then EWCM)

Feeling positive but hoping my CM isnt giving me false hope!!
 
Charmed!!! How exciting! I can just sense the overwhelming excitement in your posts and I'm so happy for you! Keep us posted, I'd love to see line progression! Congrats!!!
 
Lavender - I tried an IC & that came up with another faint line too! Fainter than the first test, but it was later in the day. I'll take another early test tomorrow and then maybe a digital on Tues if I can get one by then! I'm in work then too! Ahh. There are so many things going through my head, like talking to someone at work as I've got to be so careful.. I can't be moving 10kg bags of food, and I can't go in the back if the vets are operating on a rabbit cos the sedation can seep into the air! Omg.

Mkyerby - it's similar here, my GP has said to me before that they don't tend to do any tests & a HPT is enough to go on! I can't see them until monday 15th!! I can go earlier, but I'd rather see my favourite Dr and she only works mondays :( I don't want to go tomorrow as I'm not late yet then..

Emiloo - Thank you so much hun! Haha, the toaster! DH & I have this running thing about getting a 4 slice toaster, he's been after one for ages & I said we didn't need one (there's just us two in the house), I compromised and said we could get one when I get pregnant! Hehe. Sounds like you're having a really positive first cycle off BCP! my first month was rotten, I had dizzy spells, sickness, it was just awful. I hope you're feeling ok.

MamaBunny - Thank you so much! I still can't believe it.. At the moment, it's just a line on a test. It's not really sunk in that this could be a baby! DH never thought it would happen, he was so surprised!

I told DH this morning! I should have filmed it!! It was so cute. He was downstairs on the couch, asleep, I came down & started hugging him & asking about his plans for the day. He slowly woke up and we chatted. I asked if he'd have any spare time today.. He asked why? I said maybe we could go toaster shopping? And paused.. Then said, there's no rush though, we have around 9 months to buy it! And his face lit up!! He looked at me and asked if I am pregnant! I said I think so!! Showed him the test, he couldn't see the line at first cos the curtains were closed, but we opened them & he could see it so clearly! He's been so sweet since, rubbing my belly and kissing me, being so protective! We looked for a toaster, but couldn't find the one we wanted, I hope it's not a sign! It's been a really, really great morning :D
 
Um so Charmed..... the same thing just happened to me. I had a dream I was with my grandmother (she passed away but was my best friend) and I sat down next to her and told her I was pregnant. Well I took a HPT when I got up and it's a very clear BFP. I'm trying to download it from my phone but it's not coming through.

Good luck to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope we can share this journey together.

I've been very nauseous the past two days and while it could definitely be from the parasite I've had a feeling it wasn't. I've done some research and it said they actually haven't found any babies with birth defects after taking this medication in very early pregnancy. I have a follow up with my PCP Thursday and will talk to her about this. I did see one medication online for a follow up treatment when you are pregnant so I'll talk to her about this. Since I had an adult worm, I'm sure I'll need a follow up. Oh and these little worms do not cause harm when pregnant.
 
OMG!! MRS H!!! :D I am so excited for you! :D Haha, I can't believe you had a dream too! That was so sweet, with your Grandmother there as well. I've had dreams of my Grandad since his passing over 10 years ago & every time I feel closer to him, like he's still around. Maybe it was your Grandmother's way of telling you she's still here <3 Congratulations hun! :D FX for sticky babies for us both. How many DPO are you now? I've been feeling ok, no real signs except a bit of cramping yesterday and today. I've been getting a bit of heartburn today too. Can't wait to see that line! xxx

Thank you! You just made me cry by the way. I as well have had dreams about her since she passed. I think its her way of saying she's still watching me. I always feel at peace when I have dreams with her.

Well here it is:
https://i57.tinypic.com/2430t4n.jpg

After I took it I walked downstairs and told DH I took one. Then I told him about my dream and hugged me because I started crying. I made some hot cocoa and check it and sure enough. Ran downstairs and just kept saying "babe" and then I showed it to him and hugged some more. Now he says he has an awful headache lol. My heart is racing a million per minute.
 
So I called the ER I went to since I haven't taken the medication yet (it's not supposed to come in until tomorrow) and they told me not to take it and to call my OB. So I guess I will do that tomorrow morning. Uh so many things going on.
 
That's so scary! I'm glad you've not taken it yet. Hopefully they can offer an alternative.

Such a sweet story though, MrsH! I am so glad we're going through this together :) I've updated one of my TTC apps to preg, but not FF yet.. I daren't! The other app flashed up as 1st trimester, 3wks & 5 days, it freaked me out a bit! I keep looking at my tests & the lines are still there :D Massive congrats, hun :D xx
 
I know me too. DH and I talked about and both agreed I should do what they say.

I'm so excited for you too! It's exciting doing this with someone from here. haven't set anything pregnancy related up yet. But am on my FF.
