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

I'm so sorry Charlie! I can't imagine how much that must suck when you're trying so hard to ttc. I don't know how the heck it happened, but my dh was actually great with initiating every single day when we were trying. I'm sure that wouldn't have lasted tho. Normally he has a very low drive and would much rather sleep than have sex. As soon as his head hits the pillow he's out every single night and often before I even get to bed. It's been like that since day one of our marriage (tbh we didn't even dtd on our wedding night bc he was sick and exhausted). So I often find myself laying beside him crying at night bc he doesn't want me and I've also gotten up and written him letters or emails about how things need to get better. I hope you bd today, it's probably not too late!
 
Charlie again I'm sorry. But if you haven't O'd yet it might not be too late.

Mykerby our lives sound very similar except I was the one that was sick on our wedding night. You guys know but our first cycle was a complete bust and I was so angry with him. Second cycle, when it came close to time, I just through on some lingerie before he got home and he knew it was time. After that he initiated. I don't know why something that's such a primal instinct has to be so hard. Now that I am pregnant I feel like he's afraid to touch me so he hasn't tried. I kind of don't care now, for once.

I hope Charmed is ok. Been thinking about you.
 
Wow, congrats Lavender! I hope everything is going well for you.

I'm really sorry you weren't able to BD, Charlie, I can't imagine how frustrating it is for you - Especially being on clomid as well :(

I'm doing well, still having a few moments where I feel upset that I'm still TTC. I really thought I'd managed to get pregnant! I'm hopefully ovulating over xmas/new year & DH has the time booked off work anyway so no reason why we can't BD plenty! FX. I won't find out until the middle of Jan though, which is super frustrating!
 
Thank you ladies 💚❤💗
a quick update because my head is killing me. We BD this morning finally. Going to be BDing all this week I hope EOD like I want to.

Charmed I've got everything crossed for you!

Turtle how are you feeling?
 
Oh sorry CC for dh's contributions....glad you got some this morning though lol.

I remember after I got my positive opk dh was so nervous "finishing", but it actually made it a pretty romantic moment because I had to console him lol

It's pretty cool to look back and think that could have been " the moment"
 
That's great you got BD in Charlie! :thumbup: FX that you can keep up the EOD going. Hoping this is it for you!

Hey Charmed! Glad to hear DH has some time off so you can BD right around O. FX crossed for you. I hope that you can get a New Year's surprise. :)

I'm doing all right. Nausea has kicked in and I see my GP tomorrow. I'll see what's in store for me after cause morning sickness + motion sickness is really going to kick my butt and I'm hoping I can make it to a Christmas party on Tuesday!
 
Charlie, I'm so, so sorry for the frustrations and heartache you're having with DH and trying to BD. :hugs: I can't even imagine how frustrating that must be!!! I am really glad to hear that you were able to yesterday though, and will be going for all this week too! How close do you guess you are to your O day? It sounds like even though you missed those few days, you'll still be really covered! Good luck, I'm really hoping you catch it this cycle!!! :thumbup:

Mkyerby (and MrsH), I'm really sorry that you guys have similar issues with your DH and BDing too. Just because you've managed to conceive doesn't mean it isn't hard and doesn't hurt to be dealing with that stuff too. Obviously dtd is for reasons other than just ttc and feeling unwanted has to be hard. I'm so sorry, :hugs: to you ladies as well!!!

Charmed, good to see you! I hope you're doing okay. That's so great that your hubby will be off work during your O time this cycle and that you can really concentrate on that! I so hope you catch the eggie again and that it STICKS this time. They say you tend to be extra fertile after a mc, so FX that that's the case and that you catch it! :)

Lavender, sorry that morning sickness has started to kick in! :( No fun at all! I hope it starts getting better for you soon! :hugs:

I'm doing okay Charlie, thanks! :) I've been so convinced this cycle that I was actually pregnant. Then on Friday I had a little bit of blood when checking my cervix and got super discouraged. (AF isn't due until today or tomorrow but I always spot off and on for a few days first). But then it never really even turned into spotting and there was nothing there again when checking my cervix so I thought maybe...just maybe. Saturday I tested before I party I went to and bfn. Then yesterday and today, a little more blood when checking it, but still not even spotting yet. But I did temp this morning to see and it's waaaay back down so I'm sure the :witch: will be here today or tomorrow. :( I'm feeling pretty down about it as I was SO sure this month. :( I just don't really understand why it never even turned into actual spotting. There's slight color there every once in awhile when I wipe if I look really hard for it but hardly even that, and definitely nothing in my underwear. Maybe the pre-AF spotting is finally getting under control? Sorry for all the details there, I'm sure that's more than you ladies care to know! :winkwink:
 
Yay Charlie! I bet you'll be fine missing a few days. I hope this week works out for you.

Charmed glad to hear you're ok. I'm sure ti's still very hard but I have my fx for you.

Turtle that stinks. I hope it isn't the witch but hugs if it is.
 
Thanks ladies! DH and I will be BD tonight too. 😃 I'm starting to feel some cramping on my left side which is a good sign. I'm feeling hopeful and back I. A positive mood. Praying this is our month. 💜
 
Been awhile since I've updated. After 6 cycles, this being my 7th, and some major issues and stress at home I sadly decided to take a break from TTC and was planning to get back on BC. The :witch: was due on Christmas Eve and I was ready for her arrival. Some cramping, sore boobs, PMS eating and emotional. Woke up yesterday morning with a huge temp spike, likely due to the start of an illness because I had a scratchy throat and some chest aches. I wanted the reassurance that I would be in the clear and didn't mind wasting a test since I wouldn't be needing it so I randomly decided to use one on my lunch break yesterday...

HOLY CRAP.
Then after work I had to use my Walmart $0.88 cheapie...

Then before bed I used my last digi OPK just to see what would happen and got a smiley!

I stopped the BC pill towards the end of May. We had been trying since June. I was convinced something was broken in me or my partner. If it hasn't happened yet don't lose hope! What an amazing Christmas surprise him and I get to share with family and friends this year :hugs:
 
Holy moly congrats MamaBunny! What great timing with you considering BC again, especially with Christmas being a great time to find out! <3

I hope those are O pains for you Charlie! I'm so happy to hear you're feeling better, too. Let this be your month! :flower:

Turtle FX that it isn't the witch coming after you! :hugs: If it is, that would be a nice thing if the pre-AF spotting went away for you.

Dust sprinklings and good vibes, ladies! :dust:
 
Ladies, wishing you all the best this holiday. Congratulations to those who have :bfp: and much :dust: to those who are asked santa (or whoever) for one. I'm traveling....but cheering for you all! May your BD be successful and FUN! Let's not forget...enjoyable!

Happy holidays ladies
 
Thanks! I'm still in total disbelief. I just want the ladies that are still trying to know that it CAN happen. I already have two children, conceived almost immediately after BC and my partner has no children so 10 years later when it didn't happen as effortlessly for me I became concerned. Cycle after cycle, bfn after bfn, I grew increasingly disappointed, sad, depressed and convinced it wasn't meant to be. I don't know what it was this time that did the trick :shrug: I wanted to try SMEP this cycle but my man wasn't cooperating :dohh: I did use Preseed 5 out of the 6 times we BD leading up to O. The month prior I took a break from EVERYTHING - no OPK, no BBT, no tests, no Preseed, NOTHING. I started out this cycle with the same carefree attitude, but my desire to try SMEP sucked me back in. I committed to using Preseed as much as I could and began temping right before O. I also used my OPK and would lay in bed for about 15 minutes before standing after :sex:. I had been taking a daily multivitamin as well as 5000mg biotin for my hair and nails, nothing else and no special diet. Since my intended BD schedule didn't pan out and I knew we missed some critical days I was certain this cycle would be just like the rest. Hoping this lil bunny bean sticks. This is the absolute most amazing Christmas gift we could ever be surprised with! Best wishes for everyone! :hugs:
 
Charlie, I'm so glad that you're feeling more positive about it now! That's great news!

MamaBunny, congrats!!!! :)

MsE, safe travels!!!

My temp dropped way down to 97.22 today and the :witch: is due today, so I'm sure she'll be arriving any time now. I'm pretty bummed, but such is life. On to January I suppose!

Happy Holidays to all of you lovely ladies! :hugs:
 
I'm glad to hear you have a positive attitude Charlie! I have my FX.

Congrats mamabunny! So happy for you.

Thanks MsE! I hope you enjoy the holidays too.

Turtle I hope not! Still have my fx until she shows.
 
Taking a bathroom break during a christmas party with my stupid pregnant sister in law who is f*ucking smoking and drinking while rubbing her belly, cause if I don't I'm either gonna cry or yell. Everyone's talking about her and the baby and I'm just so envious and sad.
Please let the holidays ends already.
