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

[Charmed86]

Ladies I'm waiting to get my blood drawn to test for ovulation. Keep your fingers crossed that I ovulated! I don't even know what I'll do if I didn't.

Good luck!!!

Go Charlie go! Hope you get good results

Turtle stepping back definitely helps me, especially round af I just don't handle stuff very well. Hope you're feeling better and are ready for another go have you decided on your next step?

Me and hubby got to have a rare chat about ttc, I care a gazillion times too much and he's a "i can't affect it so I don't let it upset me" guy, he's also obsessed with the fact that "all his friends just gave up and they got pregnant" so I'm stressing myself into not succeeding basically, so hurtful but I can't stop and I don't believe 6 chemicals are because I begged my body so much that it turned against me. I've told him we've been at it so long now it's not always obvious he wants this as much as me but he affirmed that and as long as that's the case then it's enough for me, and he's gonna try to be more sympathetic when I'm upset (I heard flowers and chocolate somewhere in there lol)

Having a bit of a poo day about my weight, since coming off the pill I've gained like 15lbs and I didn't even like my weight before, sooo much comfort eating due to ttc :/ so this week I'm going to gym till I break! No yoga for me, now it's the tough classes and I'll save the lighter ones for the 2ww

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Patience, I'm right there on the comfort eating. Since we started I've gained 30lbs..... And I was not where I wanted to be when we started either. I stress eat, comfort eat, bored eat. It's horrible! I'm starting a diet plan this month. I can't handle how big I've gotten! And I am buying myself a smaller TV /DVD combo to use in my office for workout videos on nights I don't have fun classes that I like at the gym. I'm glad you and your DH had a chat. It helps a lot when you know they do want this as much as you do.

Turtle how are you holding up?

Charmed how are you?

 

[DannaD]

Doc appointement is tomorrow, I'm very nervous :/
Hope everyone is having an okay week, I have a feeling a BFP is comming soon here, intuition xD

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Danna, I'm keeping you in my thoughts!! I hope tomorrow goes great and you get a lot of good information!! ❤

 

[Charmed86]

I'm ok We're off to see our new fur baby again today! I'm hoping this meet goes well so we can get the ok to bring her home! God knows what's going on with my temps, they're still above the coverline, but lower than I'd like.

Good luck for your appointment Danna! Thinking of you xx

Charlie, when will you get the results from your test?

Patience,my weight loss has suffered since TTC, maybe we can encourage each other in here to eat better I'm glad your OH is going to try to be more supportive. My OH has been frustrated about how easily some people get pregnant too. It seems ridiculous! I hope he doesn't need to get those flowers & chocs for you though xx

 

[patienceiav]

Sounds like a good idea charmed i should post my weight each week to force myself to look at it and try to do better! I also get too wussy in the 2ww and don't gym as much "just in case" but unless I do hot classes it shouldn't be a problem really. Just so paranoid since the egg can't implant to literally save it's life

This month I think I'll skip OPK's and stick to temping, after last cycle I was so stressed out from all the almost +s only for it to die down again! At least the temps will show me after I ov so I can relax with bd then decide if I need to use the cream or if it's not worth it.

My last thing I'll be doing this month, NOT test early! Every single time I get a faint line, it gets worse the day after so I'm just gonna hold out for once and see if I'm mentally affecting it somehow.

Glad you get to see your fur baby today that must be exciting! Hope your temps were taken earlier than the others and that they'd actually be higher

Danna, can't wait to hear how your appt went!

 

[Turtle0630]

Charlie, good luck!!! I can't wait to hear if you O'd or not, I have everything crossed for you! When do you hear back on your results??

Danna, good luck today!!! I soooo hope you hear good news, and at the very least they can get AF going for you! What time is your appointment? I can't wait to hear how it goes!

Charmed, good luck with the 2nd meeting of your potential new fur baby today! So exciting!!! I so hope everything goes well and that you're given the okay to bring her home!

Patience, I think that's a great idea to not do the opk this month and to not test early. At this point, you already have enough documentation that the chemicals are happening, so why stress yourself out anymore by testing early? I really, really hope though that you'll just get a lovely surprise of a nice, dark bfp once AF is late this cycle!

 

[DannaD]

Okay! So!
We are skipping progesterone test (provera) since I did bleed very recently so that tells her everything she needs to know about my uterus' ability to bleed correctly.
I'm heading out to get my LH, Prolactin and FSH levels tested, should have the result by email in 48 hours, if they levels are high, it's bar news and I'll be heading into a fertility clinic for next step. That's what is scaring me the most right now, I have a feeling that, with all my very dark but not positive opks my LH is too high... :'/
She isn't testing me for PCOS, she said the fertility specialist might do it, but she'd consider me an atypic case if I somehow have it, because of my lack of any PCOS related symptoms/signs

I'll take an appointment with the specialist very soon, just need to do some research. I don't know how I feel about any of this.


Charlie did you get news back? I'm thinking of you!

Thank you all ladies for having kept me in your thoughts :')

 

[MrsHudson]

Well at least your getting some answers soon Danna! I hope your levels come back normal.

I'm looking for Charlie's update as well.

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

That's a great place to start Danna!!

Charmed yay for fur babies!

I definitely like the idea of all of us helping with weight too. ❤

Turtle, how are you doing?

AFM: no word on my results yet. They said either today or tomorrow they would call. I'll be calling Thurs if they don't call by tomorrow.

 

[Turtle0630]

Danna, good luck with your testing! I must say, I'm jealous that you'll be getting your results so quickly. They're making me wait 4-5 business days for mine. I have my fingers crossed so tightly for you that your numbers come back in the normal range! High FSH is what they found with me too, and now I'm waiting on the results back from that one. So you and I might be in the same boat here (although I really hope you're not!!!) and I understand trying to wrap your head around it. I'm really hoping for good news on your end!!!

Charlie, I so hope you hear something back today! Waiting on results is so taxing, I swear! I'm just too impatient and want to know right away!

 

[patienceiav]

Interesting they didn't want to check more about the bleed. Try to focus on the fact they're looking for a solution for you it may suck to have odd results but that'll help them find something to get you got bfp!

 

[Turtle0630]

Ladies, I just got the call with my AMH levels, and they are normal!!! I couldn't be happier!!! Normal is 1.5-4, and mine were 1.82! I am soooo happy!!! I still don't really understand what a high FSH level and normal AMH level means, other than the fact that they put more stock into what your AMH levels are than your FSH. I think it's a more in-depth look at your reserve. Either way, I'm so happy! So she wants me to go ahead and schedule the HSG (which I'll do for next cycle) and the SA for DH (which is already scheduled for the 17th), and we'll go from there!

 

[DannaD]

Turtle, I'm going private for my testings, so I pay a lot . Going the normal route here would take 2-3 weeks to get my results! I decided it was enough waiting.

I'll share the results as soon
as I can, it's good to know I'll have someone in the same boat as me if results are not good, although I wish nothing was wrong with your results either Turtle :'(

I also booked my appointement with the fertility specialist now, in 2 weeks exactly, things are moving!!

 

[DannaD]

Got my results! (Holy cow, less than 12 hours result??)
My FSH is normal, Prolactin too, LH is outttt of this world high.

So that would indicate PCOS, I'll have to wait for my doctor to analyse the results and call me back. If I'm incredibly lucky it could mean I was ovulating or will ovulate very soon, but I'm not counting on that much. Meh.

 

[Charmed86]

I'm sorry you might have PCOS, Danna. All hope is not lost though, better to know what you're up against!

So I took an IC this morning & got a super faint line. I've not told DH as I've been burned by them before! I'm sure it came up in the 10min window, but DH took forever to go to work so when I got a chance to look at it properly, it was past the 10mins. There's definitely a line there, but now I'm wondering if my eyes were playing tricks on me before & it's just and evap or indent, which they seem prone too! I've got to pop out later to get some things for the home check on Saturday (for the fur baby), so I might pick up some proper pregnancy tests!

 

[patienceiav]

I don't understand it totally either but glad it's good news Turtle! can't wait for hubby's SA, a large part of me wished it wasn't all my fault

Oh Danna, sounds like you will be needing meds of some kind they'll find it for you soon!

Charmed, you have to show us! Go get a test you feel you can rely on myself have never got lines on ic till last month! Pic pic pic!

 

[Charmed86]

Here's an IC, I'm having a guy over soon to quote me on some gates so I can't leave the house until after that! So frustrating! I'm sorry it's not great quality, my phone is a bit rubbish at photos.. I can see it really obviously IRL, much more than the first one, which was more of a squinter!

I hope this works, I'm posting from my phone while having a mini freak out!

 

[patienceiav]

That's no squinter !!! The shadow from the ring makes it harder to see but if you can see it IRL then it's just bad luck on the shadow positioning c'mon girly that's great ! Are you able to get one without the ring ? I normally put mine above or below and it can still focus properly x
