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

Oooo YAY CHARLIE! :D This means the Fermara is working yah? I hope you get your BFP really soon!
 
That's brilliant news, Charlie! :D I'm so pleased the fermara is working! FX

Afm: I told dh when he got home & he asked what day we would have conceived. Lol. Then congratulated himself :haha: I took another test this am & still bfp! I'm so scared it's going to go away again, so I am going to enjoy every minute of it! I don't know if it's a coincidence but my stomach has been a bit off since yesterday morning. Boo. I don't know when to book in with my Drs, do I do it today? Or wait until I miss af? I'm 10dpo, probably.
 
Congrats Charlie ! Brilliant ! :D you can't be that far off AF now huh ?

Charmed i'm not quite sure, as long as you've got your bfp you might as well tell them ? I don't know how the system works in UK, here you pop down and POAS to prove you have your bfp then book an appt
 
Not sure either, here you just call and get an appointment for week 10 :/
 
I called the receptionist and she's made me an appointment for next week on Tuesday :) She'd have had me in today but they're fully booked. I'm not sure what to expect, I don't think they do blood tests as standard any more, but my LMP puts me at 8wks :haha: I'm hoping they do a test so I can know for sure! I am already really tired! Slowly preparing the house for our home check tomorrow for the second dog. I'm kinda freaking out by the BFP.. I am really happy, but totally freaked at the same time! Partly in case it disappears and partly if it doesn't! DH has been worrying about the house, I'm worrying about money! Hopefully everything just falls into place!

How is everyone else? xxx
 
Hi all
I had originally posted this on it's own then I saw this thread and thought I'd change it to in here. I hope that's ok.

Looking for some advice regarding my irregular periods after stopping the pill and ovulation tests etc..
I stopped taking my pill approx March 2014 I had my withdrawal bleed and a period about 20 days later. My next bleed was 16-19th May (2014) then nothing untill 15-18th August! Then 27-30th Sept, 29-31st Oct, then nothing again untill Jan 3rd 2015 . On the 15th Jan I noticed some spotting, dark in colour only when going to the toilet and this happened on and off untill the 27th! (I assume this being 'left over' blood as I hadn't bleed for so long?)
I was going to book to see my nurse but then thought if just be told 'you have to wait for periods to regulate after stopping the pill...but it's been 11 months! Lol

Obviously me and my partner are totally confused and have no clue at all when I am ovulating or even if I am at all!
I have brought some ovulation tests but have no clue when to start using?
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks
 
Kariss, welcome! How frustrating! I would make an appointment with the Dr to get some blood work done. Maybe you're just not consistently ovulating? As for ovulation tests I usually start them around cycle day 14, but I ovulate later in my cycle than some people ( I'm on medicine to make me ovulate).
 
Depending on the opk, you can start them whenever you like :) The cheapies, I find are better to take around 2pm :) I have long, irregular cycles so tend to use the cheapies as they are relatively accurate & don't cost too much.

I'd say go to your Dr now & request some blood tests to check your hormones. In the UK, you have to have been trying for 12mths before they will offer any help (for women under 35, I think). Definitely worth asking the question & seeing if they can find out what's going on xx
 
Charmed, that's so great!!! I'm so happy to hear that it's still showing up nice and dark today, and DH's reaction is cute! :) Yay for the appointment next week as well, I can't wait to hear how that goes! Congrats again!!! :dance:

Charlie, that's awesome news that you O'd!!! Wahoo, congrats!!! :dance: So how many dpo are you now?

Hi kariss, and welcome! :hi: I'm sorry to hear your cycles have been so weird and all over the place, I can see how that would certainly be confusing! And make it really hard for ttc! I personally would call my Dr; hopefully they can do some tests to try to find out why you've been so irregular, and if there's a reason for it, give you something to help regulate you. Good luck, and keep us posted!
 
Charlie I thought you were meant to take the bloods around 7dpo?

Welcome Kariss!

Unfortunately you can be told to stay away till the 1 year mark, I actually fibbed and added an extra month just to see the specialist early! I'd speak to them and see if you can get an appt :) in the mean time grab some super cheap OPK's off ebay or amazon and start them whenever you're ready, it's so hard to tell when your Las real period was that you should try taking them once a day and see if you get a + to indicate ovulation! Also, it may be a lot of work but charting your temperature can be a great way to see what your body is up to, taking it first thing in the morning when you wake up, over time you'll see a pattern in before and after ovulation :) a few of us chart, you could check our signatures to see! Good luck :flower:

Well so much for my bd week, it's cd12 and I've been bed ridden sick for 4 days! I haven't done any opk but I think I'll start tomorrow, I had happened to check my CP last night and it was HSO so I grabbed hubby for a quickie, luckily he was so desperate for bd as me he took it :haha: I can only hope I'm in for an on time ov this month, I've been really bad at taking my stuff since I've been sick! I managed the red raspberry tea and the pomegranate juice but not the baby aspirin and maca (I think that will help my ov regulate and help my lining) Oh I do hope I get better asap! :(
 
I didn't read everyone's reply so sorry!

Charmed I'm glad you made an appointment. I had some other issues going on, so had to go to my OB anyways. They scheduled me right away. I'm so happy for you! My DH did the same when we figured out when I conceived. He was very busy with the house projects so he was a busy man lol.

Charlie I'm so excited for you!!!! I hope you get that BFP soon. You deserve it.
 
Patience I get the bloods done on CD21, I would have been 4/5dpo. They test for the rise in progesterone after ovulation to confirm that I did ovulate.
 
Ooh right :) I thought you'd be further along, that's great they could see you o'ed that early, since the test is designed to be at 7dpo for the "average" cycle !

I really should get to those opks, can't be missing my chance this month despite the thundering flu cold i've been hit with :haha: i know i'm too sick when i can't sit at the PC and play !
 
I'm obviously not average ROFL! ;-)

I'm dying to know if we caught the egg this time but I'm afraid to test after so much disappointment month after month.
 
At least you know roughly what dpo you are this time :) my goal is to stick to testing at 14dpo to avoid all the disappointment of the chemicals, I always feel pregnant till I take a test, see a line, then lose the line and all that feeling goes away, I just hope somehow that mentally if I don't see that line fading my body won't react to it, sounds silly I guess ? The only thing i've not tried is sticking to the belief i'm preggo without testing !
 
FX Charlie!! I hope this is it! :')
Do you know why you don't ovulate by yourself btw?

Patience get well soon! Drink a ton of water :)

What a cute reaction from your DH Charmed. And I guess everyone is a little freaked out when they get pregnant, even if you've been trying for a day or a year or more; such a big change in anyone's life! Hehe

Welcome Kariss! I'd call your doctor and say it's been a year... He'll do some bloodworks, I'm in the process of having them done as well.
In the meantime I'd start temping, it sounds like a hassle but is so useful, and you can bring your charts to your doctor later. I've had close to positive very often, but by charting I always knew I wasn't ovulating.
 
Danna, no idea why I don't ovulate on my own. Everything looks good and my hormones are all normal. I just don't ovulate. *shrug*
