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

[DannaD]

It's quite alright Turtle xD I'm normally relaxed about it since I don't expect anything but this time I'm a mess... I dreamed about it too! It would be so wonderful if I O'd since it would mean my crazy high LH level was my surge ( end or beginning) and not PCOS....

 

[patienceiav]

Ooh that's an interesting way of looking at it, I wonder if the surge before ov is similar to the high estrogen (I think is usually the pcos issue?) that they detected? I do hope this continues for you, tomorrow is another temp day sometimes I'm so eager to get the next days temp it feels a bit like Xmas lol, looking forward to waking up to temp!

 

[Turtle0630]

Danna, that would be so awesome! I didn't even think about that, I so hope that's what it was!

Patience, I used to feel the same way! I would wish I could fast forward to the next morning's, so i could see my temps already!

 

[DannaD]

I haven't had any other tests done yet Patience, I don't know what my estrogen levels are. The only raison we suspect PCOS is that a normal LH: FSH ratio is 1:1, mine was around 5:1 ! My LH was 24 o.o

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Danna, I'm surprised they didn't run all the tests at the same time.

I'm having on and off cramps over here. AF is due in a few days and I'm worried that she will in fact be showing up.

 

[patienceiav]

I really hope this is the one for you Charlie, maybe the new meds are exactly what you need

Not surprisingly I got a bad temp today, that's getting to be a thing oh well I'll check cm later for a better idea, worst case I hold off with the cream till tomorrow night!

 

[DannaD]

Charlie, they didn't because they really thought I didn't fit PCOS, I'm thun, no acnea, no excess hair.

Girls, I'm just gonna tell you, not even my SO because I'm scared of dissapointing him, but I think I o'ed
I didn't sleep that perfectly but that's the highest temp I ever got, but mostly I have symptoms I ever had before, which I guess could be the Progesterone, like I'm verrry hungry all the time, and I woke up very very hot.

So I'll say it, 5dpo! First 2ww ever! BD was far from perfect but I'm happy anyway,

 

[patienceiav]

That really looks like you did! hope these temps keep up

 

[Charmed86]

Omg Danna, that is fantastic! I am so excited for you! FX those temps stay high! xx

Charlie I've got everything crossed for you, hopefully those cramps are a good sign! xx

Patience I hope you're able to get some answers soon! xx

Afm: let me know if my posting is upsetting to anyone, I don't want to hurt anyone. I know how hard you ladies are trying I really am praying you get your bfps soon! Not much to say on the pregnancy front, I think it's too early for any major symptoms. I'm eating more than normal & having cramps on & off, I hope they're normal! They're worse than my usual af cramps, but then I don't get very bad af cramps normally anyway! I have my first drs appointment tomorrow, I think it'll just be to make sure I'm happy & get me on the system. The furbabies are so good! Cookie has settled in really well, I am so pleased! It's like she's home. Bless her. to everyone xx

Charmed....check your private messages.

FX for all you ladies still. Spring is coming....let's make this a BFP year!!

I've been lurking on you all. Sending tons of hugs and magic BD dust.

 

[MrsHudson]

Kariss if you read Taking Charge of Your Fertility there's a section on what to do if you wake up at different times and want to temp. I would tell you, but me being up every day at the same time didn't read it.

Charmed all my symptoms hit at about 6-8 weeks, so be patient lol.

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Yippee Danna!!! Everything crossed for you!!!

Charmed, you're not hurting me at all. In fact it doesn't bother me when anyone in this group gets pregnant. It gives me more hope. Its those people outside of this group I want to strangle lol. Weird I know.

AFM: I think AF will be showing up soon. I'm not looking forward to it, but I have started meditation this week and I think its helping me mental state. I have a new Mantra. "I WILL get pregnant, one way or another." Even if we have to go all the way to IVF we will get our baby.

 

[DannaD]

Charlie that's such a great attitude! I like to repeat to myself that I'm doing eveything I can and will keep doing evrything I can to get pregnant, and it will work dammit! XD

Charmed it doesn't bother me either! I'm happy for you, and soon this whole group will be pregnant too, only 4 to go! Haha

AFM, I'm just so happy right now, like the past 6 months of feeling broken dissapeared. After I get my period if no BFP, I have a feeling I'll O again, so I'll buy ClearBlue digital ovulation kit and hopefully get in much more BD than this time around (but since I wasn't expecting to O, I'm glad I got some in at all!)

 

[patienceiav]

Shouldn't we be at 22bfps now? looks like charmed is ready to confirm it?

4 to go is that all that's left? Yikes no pressure then! Lol

 

[patienceiav]

Charlie my friend told me today not to worry, cuz "some bundles are so perfect they just take a little longer to create" if i was further in my 2ww I would have cried

 

[DannaD]

That's sweet Patience! :')

 

[Charmed86]

Aw, Patience, that is so sweet!

Danna - Your chart is looking really promising!! I have everything crossed for you! I remember the first time I ovulated, I didn't even care that I didn't get a BFP, I was just so relieved to have AF! I've got everything crossed that things start to level out for you now & you can get to TTC

Charlie - I think that's a great mantra to have! Stay positive I still have everything crossed for you for this cycle though

AFM - I think I'm ready for it to be official! I saw my GP this morning who has referred me to the midwife. He has dated me at 9wks though! He's gone on my LMP & I know I'm not 9wks pregnant.. I am pretty confident in saying that FF is right in it's estimations of my O date. I stupidly told my Mum what the GP said though & now she is convinced that I am 9wks. Ugh. Luckily though, they will probably want to do a scan sooner just to date me!

Our little dog is settling in really well, she's getting on so well with our other dog & she's such a fusspot, bless her.

 

[patienceiav]

Ugh, yes they do that :/ they'll be up for a real surprise when you have a scan then! I believe ff too, give or take a day, I'm surprised they didn't listen to you! They'll be worried when they're expecting a 9week baby and they won't see much of anything if you scan now. Ugh!

 

[Charmed86]

Ugh, yes they do that :/ they'll be up for a real surprise when you have a scan then! I believe ff too, give or take a day, I'm surprised they didn't listen to you! They'll be worried when they're expecting a 9week baby and they won't see much of anything if you scan now. Ugh!

That's what I said!! Normally at the booking in appointment with the midwife, they do bloodwork, but no scan until later at 12wks.. But because she'll do bloods & expect to see HCG levels of a 9wk pregnant woman, but instead get HCG levels of a 4wk pregnant woman, they'll probably completely freak out!!

My Mum has just called to explain why I am actually 8wks pregnant. Ugh. The internet is a bad thing for some people!! I've had to explain ovulation to her. So funny, considering she's had 3 kids!!

 

[patienceiav]

Ooh so you won't be getting another appt for 3 weeks?? Or will they still be blood testing etc? Damn your mum is as bad as us lot, Dr Google will tell you everything you want to hear
