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

[Turtle0630]

Huh, I had never thought of removing them helping you because of the blood flow, etc. It totally makes sense though! Interesting!!! I'll have to think that one over some more. Thanks, ladies!

Patience, I see your temps went up again today! Wahoo!

Charlie, that's GREAT news!!!! I'm so happy for you!!! How are you feeling on the Femera?

Charmed, your cycle this month is so confusing! I'm with Patience on this, I'm frustrated for you and want to know what's going on!

 

[patienceiav]

It did! Only today I firmly believe I didn't ov or haven't or it's just all screwed up now but I can't go back now!

Serious Tmi alert! I found out I had to "clean out" the residue which builds up kinds like lumps of wet paper/cottage cheese :/ during this clean out today I found ewcm, I can't find anything on the cream causing this to happen so I'm just going to believe this month is a bust and keep gymming so I always have muscle ache and can't symptom spot!

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Feeling pretty good Turtle! Thanks!
I'm getting a little anxious about my HSG. No idea what they will find out not find. No idea if I'll get any answers. But it's only a few days away.

Patience I feel ya on not knowing what on earth is going on! I'm still hopeful for you though!!

How are you feeling Charmed??

 

[patienceiav]

In a way out could be good if they spot something they can fix on the HSG, that way out feels like something proactive is happening, nothing worse than "everything looks fine, we don't know what's wrong" !

 

[Charmed86]

I'm sorry you're not sure of your cycle patience. What a pain I hope you get some answers soon. Do you think your temps are just going up cos of the cream?

I hope your HSG goes well, Charlie. It'd be nice if they could find something that's easy to fix! Nothing is worse than they don't know FX for you

Afm... No AF, no spotting even! No signs of her coming or anything. It would be due today if I did ovulate on CD24 so I must not have. I tried taking CD23 & 24 temps out & FF decided that I didn't ovulate at all! So I guess the idea of ovulating on CD30 is unlikely. I don't know what to think! How can I go from a pretty regular cycle to nothing all of a sudden? I'm actually hoping AF comes today, just for some closure! There's not even a faint line on my hpt, it couldn't be more negative if it tried I'm so confused.

 

[patienceiav]

I feel your uncertainty Charmed! I guess you could go from absolute worst case you O'ed cd30 and it was ov spotting BUT I think you've been regular enough that your +opk should have meant you did ov, even if it was maybe off by a couple of days in ff!

The first cycle after my first chemical was pretty off too, I O'ed a week early and had a 24day cycle (due to my damn lp) so maybe it has thrown your hormones off a bit

I'm feeling a bit more calm today, I've read that your body can produce watery cm to try and flush out the gunk, and my temps are odd, they're fairly low I don't know if cuz i didn't ov and the cream is forcing them up or I did ov and the cream isn't doing enough to affect them? just trying to distance myself from the idea of a bfp this month cuz i just don't know

 

[Turtle0630]

Charlie, I'm glad you're feeling okay on the meds! I completely understand you feeling nervous about the HSG, I really hope everything goes smoothly for you! Can't wait for your update on it!

Patience and Charmed, your bodies are both even confusing ME this cycle, I can't imagine how confused you must be right now! I'm sorry, I just hope something starts to make sense/be clear sometime soon!

 

[patienceiav]

I've decided I'm going to trust ff (within a day) since it gave me solid crosshairs, at the very least I'll be taking the cream for 11 more days, going to see if the cream makes a difference on my lp! Bfp and ov aside it will be good to see Dr says it won't but all Google official info says it's designed for ladies with LP defect. I'm thinking I can gain a day or 2!

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Patience I'm hoping your LP increases!!! 💜💚💜 I have everything crossed!

 

[patienceiav]

Thanks! i think ff put ov day one day early so I'm only 6dpo now, no 2ww boobs yet which is sad another temp increase this morning yay! I hate this 3 digit thermometer it's just not as accurate, I just refuse to buy one from the chemist for 3x what I'll pay online!

Can't believe I'm up early on a Saturday for gym I'll thank myself once it's done! It's such a fun class

 

[patienceiav]

Well that's a (tmi) relief, when I get watery cm in the morning I'm 99% sure now that it's the cream, my cm is always milky but this has grains it assuming from the cream, the gunk left inside is meant to keep it in just had most of it come out during my gym class, nice!

 

[Turtle0630]

Good morning! Hope everyone had a nice weekend! Did anyone do anything fun?

Patience, how are you feeling with the meds? Are you feeling any more confident one way or another now on when/if you O'd?

Charlie, your HSG is today, right? Good luck!!! Sorry if I got that wrong...

Afm, still just kind of in limbo. I originally thought I O'd on cd13 or possibly cd14. If cd13, I'm now 1 day late. If cd14, AF should be arriving today. But then I had that weird ewcm on cd16 that made me wonder if I didn't actually O that day instead. I really don't think I did, but if so, that means AF could potentially not be due until Wednesday. So I'm just going to wait it out...if she's not here by Wednesday then I'll test Thursday as then I'll really know if I'm late or not. I have an inkling that she's going to start today though...we'll see. FX that I'm wrong!

 

[patienceiav]

Hey turtle! that's interesting, with nothing but the cm to go off I'd have to trust cd16, maybe 15 but normally that stuff dries up super fast once you're not fertile any more! Super strange. I see you added spotting on Friday, but no info for 3 days, any more spotting or just radio silence for your uterus?

I'm feeling much more comfortable about O'ing, I may just have had a super slow rise till the gel kicked in but I'm thinking im 8dpo not 9 like ff thinks. This is the point in each cycle where I am totally 50% "i don't feel pregnant leave me alone" and 50% "well I experienced this on my bfp cycles, what if?" so I'm gonna be unbearable for a few days

Charmed, any news? Your temps are really confusing me, it's looking more like you didn't ov if they keep going up and down, could you get a blood test from the Dr to give you an idea if you did or not?

 

[Turtle0630]

Hi, Patience! Well cd16 I did an opk when I got home from work, thinking it would be positive (or near positive) if that was indeed O day. And it was blaringly negative. Which makes me think is WASN'T O day after all. I just don't know, it's left me super confused. Cd13 (my typical O day) I felt twinges on my right side that felt like O every other month and was sure that was it. Then cd14 I had major cramping that felt just like AF cramping, and it was all over. I thought it was weird and unlike any other O cramping I've ever had, but decided that could be O day after all. So that's why I was thinking cd13 or cd14. Then cd16 I had that ewcm, but a negative opk. And I had that same type of all over, AF-like cramping that day, but much less intense than cd14. So I'm inclined to think it was cd13 or 14, but cd16 doesn't make much sense that way. I honestly was really thinking it was cd13 but that makes me 1 day late today and that's just too much to get my hopes up over, so I'm going with it wasn't. Haha, radio silence for my uterus! Well I've had some since then when I inwardly check but outwardly nothing other than the tiniest bit when I wiped once on Friday. That inward stuff though I never really count as spotting, I wait until I can see it outwardly. It's leaving me pretty sure AF is on here way though. I guess we'll see what happens!

I know exactly how you feel!!! I am doing the exact same thing. I keep telling myself that I'm NOT though, as that makes it less disappointing when AF does arrive. Of course when she does, I realize just how much I was hoping when I DO feel super disappointed. Sigh. When are you planning test??

 

[MrsHudson]

Turtle I hope it worked out either way! I'll be anxious for you to POAS. Funky cycles stink though! I hope you did catch that little egg.

 

[Turtle0630]

MrsH, thanks! I keep getting more and more hopeful, and I'm trying really hard to talk myself out of it. Getting your hopes up sucks, as we can all attest to! So I keep telling myself that I'm not and to knock off this optimism!

 

[patienceiav]

It's impossible to convince yourself otherwise, and other times you just doubt it totally! I go through these feelings in the same hour!

Well I may have used an ic this evening.... A shadow once it dried and I've seen a lot of them but this looked more complete if that makes sense, trying not to over think it and will have to test tomorrow ofcourse

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Well ladies, I had my HSG done today. And holy crap it was painful!! But anyway. I got 50/50 news looks like one one tube is actually open. He said the one that is open and wide open and I shouldn't have a problem getting pregnant. I kinda laughed because um....I'm not freaking pregnant yet. But it was good that at least one was open. He said the other may be slightly open but he didn't see any dye come out of it so chances are its closed completely.

 

[Turtle0630]

Charlie, I'm so sorry! So were they able to clear out that tube that they think is blocked, or is there anything that can be done to clear it out/for it? That is really great news about the one being wide open though, yay for that!!!

Patience, FX that it was a line you saw!!! Can't wait for your test update!

Afm, I'm out; AF arrived tonight.

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

FX for you Patience!!

Sorry about AF turtle!!

The radiologist said that it might open itself up after having the dye pushed in, but it wasn't a for sure thing. I'm waiting for my Dr to review the results.
