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

[Charmed86]

Sorry, I didn't mean to worry any one - I kept trying to post from my phone & every time I'd get half way through & it would crash. Argh. I'm ok, the spotting has stopped, as has the pain I still have a scan booked for tomorrow afternoon though, so hopefully we'll see what we should at 5wks! Probably just a sac, I guess. No real pregnancy symptoms yet, still early days though! I've had some nausea on & off, cramping like I'm going to get AF & tiredness mostly. And my boobs hurt, but not how I thought they would..

I'm sorry AF got some of you Danna, I am so happy that you ovulated though!! Like I said, my fist LP was only 8 days or so, but it got longer, so stay positive! Patience, your cycle sounds really confusing! I hope your Dr is able to help in some way. How weird about your boobs being so sore already! FX for this cycle, Charlie xx

Oh I'm super glad the spotting stopped sounds like it was rightly timed for breakthrough bleeding, when you have a little bleed cuz your body can't entirely shut off this need to bleed :s sounds like things are going well! I've seen my friends 5w scan and it does just look like a lot of fluid, at least they'll realise you're not 10 weeks

My temps are funny, but at least there's no spotting so despite the temps the progesterone is doing its job. Feeling slightly less symptomy today if anything, it's nice not testing though but I'm so sure nothings gonna happen

Hi everyone! AF ended up starting for me late Saturday, it didn't come until around 9pm so I was actually starting to get hopeful that she might not be coming after all! But alas, she arrived. That will still make me cd7 on Friday though for my testing so I'm thankful for that! I've noticed AF is starting later and later in the day each cycle; at this rate, it will be pushed into the next day fairly soon I think and I'll actually end up with a 14 day lp instead of a 13 day one I'm thinking! Weird. Anyways, I'm happy to be moving on to the testing, etc!

Patience, I'm glad to hear you're not spotting yet! That's a great sign, I really hope at the very least the progesterone continues to help keep that away!

Charmed, I'm so glad to hear you're doing okay, and that the pain and spotting has stopped! I can't wait to hear how the scan goes, please be sure to keep us updated!

Danna, I'm really sorry that AF got you. But it's great news that she's FINALLY here after all this time waiting, and that you can now move on to ttc properly! Yay!

Charlie, I really hope the Femera does the trick this time around! I have everything crossed for you!

 

[patienceiav]

Sorry AF was tricking you Turtle an improved LP is nice, it's not always easy to look on the bright side when she comes I think that's a good time for your appt so you can get that out the way and not affect BD if you're able to TTC this month (i'm losing track hehe)

I'm having a miserably soppy evening, was watching a TV show that made me cry for 2 episodes that's normally my thing when I know i'm having a chemical, but this was some mean stuff ! All worn out man i'm grumpy today, but my job isn't helping grr

Patience, I wonder if the progesterone is causing your moods. I know that's what makes women moody during pregnancy (I think? Lol). Just seems like adding more hormones would cause a lot of changes.

 

[patienceiav]

It's just funny that my temps remain low as if my progesterone isn't adequate hormones either way

 

[cdex67]

Ooh good point. Hmm.

 

[DannaD]

Sorry about AF Turtle! Hopefully next cycle, once your tests are all done, will be the one! We're almost at the same cycle day, hopefully we O on time :'D

What's going on at work Patience? Stress?
I think if I could get couple months of vacations TTC would be much more tolerable xP

It's quiet in here during AF week xD mine left today, BD starts tomorrow! And opks too!

Oh it's a boy cDex! Congrats!

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Congratulations on a little Boy Cdex!! How exciting! have you guys picked a name?

Ladies, I am still going to stalk you all, but I need to take a break from all this. I'm sure nothing special will come of it, but I just need to take some time away, I love all you ladies! I will see you soon

 

[twinkie2]

Take care of yourself Charlie!! Here when you need us, and we love you too!

 

[patienceiav]

Hope you feel refreshed after your break Charlie, I know I did big hugs!

 

[DannaD]

Take care Charlie! A break when you need it is always a good thing : )

 

[patienceiav]

How'd the scan go Charmed? Hope that bean is in the right place! And that you get dated correctly

Man I'm having a grumpy day, work is intense, and ofcourse I woke up and my boob pain had totally vanished! Same time as last cycle my body just doesn't wanna play ball.

 

[MrsHudson]

I hope you feel better after a break Charlie! I don't blame you one bit and we're still here for you .

 

[DannaD]

I had such an horrible day today, it was my fertility appointement, I went there thinking it would be just a talk with the specialist, but I happen to be at cd5 which is when all the tests are done here...
So I got a vaginal US, and it looks like pcos. So I got Femara prescription to start today, and got shoved out the door. Like I have a ton of questions, and shouldn't I have more bloodworks ton confirm PCOS diagnostic?
I was so sure I o'd last cycle, and that I would O again this cycle... If I take Femara will it screw everything over again?

Eurgh, I feel like making no decisions and curling up in a ball

 

[patienceiav]

Oh wow that's an odd reaction from them feels a bit like when I go to the Dr, leave with more questions than answers ! Can you call back and just get some over the phone reassurance ? I'm not sure what femara is for really, is it like clomid ? Isn't it something you take through all your cycle ?

 

[DannaD]

It's like Clomid has in it's supposed to make me ovulate, but it doesn't act in the same way.
I'm supposed to take it cd5-9, 5mg. I'm getting another ultrasound at cd 12 to see if it's working. I'm worried I'll have too many follicles, or none. This is so stressful : (

 

[patienceiav]

I don't think it should have an adverse effect even though you O'ed last month, all it'll do is guarantee that the eggs mature i have a BnB friend who is going through IUI, they check to see if the eggs are maturing, if not you get a couple more days of prescription to push them some more. Think of it as a positive thing, you'll likely have better control over ov and timing bd and you'll know for sure you O'ed

 

[DannaD]

Thanks patience, that calmed me a bit. : )
I'm waiting to get more blood works today, is it just me but TTC/ fertility testing sounds more and more like a full time job? -.-

 

[patienceiav]

At least they're being proactive, I spent 6 months getting tested and shrugged at and then given a prescription and told not to come back for 3 months, even though now I know it's not working i could soon have had 2 babies in the time I've spent trying, and still they are just brushing me off
