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

[CrazyCharlie2]

Turtle! The contrast and the "balloon" were the worst parts for me! Glad all looks clear!!! 😘

Looks like this mornings IC is the same/maybe stronger, but the case test is soooo light still cramping and spotting

Oh patience, so hopeful over here for you! I hope this isn't inappropriate, but can you go in and get some betas done, just in case?? I want this documented for you in hopes that if this isn't your rainbow maybe you can get a bit more help!? Again though, I'm still hopeful on this one!! If your test is getting darker that is wonderful. Some women do just bleed/spot right away, I did, and I've met loads of ladies on here that did as well, so while incredibly nerve wracking, it can still lead to a beautiful healthy babe in the end. Seriously have everything crossed for you! Yesterday's test was super obvious to me!

 

[patienceiav]

Thanks Twinkie! I can't do anything over the weekend without paying mega bucks, but I'll call the specialist Monday morning and demand at least a call back, I'm not going through this again! Today is still on and off red brown spotting, it's enough to need a pad but not a big flow if that makes sense i won't let them brush me off this time! I can only hope that I'm an evening pee kinda gal, if tonight's is fainter then I'm screwed

 

[DannaD]

Oh Parience, we are all with you. Please update us and try to believe, fx fx

I've got everything crossed for you, Patience! My tests were lighter with fmu, weird! I really hope you can stay positive xx

 

[patienceiav]

Tonight's test was no help left to right : last night, this morning, and the last 2 this evening same time, the furthest right seems to be darker due to dye or pee

[Charmed86]

Can you use different tests? I didn't get a dark bfp on them at all & they didn't really progress either xx

 

[DannaD]

Yeah I heard that too about those cheapies Patience, can you go get some better ones tomorrow?

 

[patienceiav]

I can try the supermarket, they were out of stock the past 2 months if the pharmacy test hadn't been half the strength this morning I wouldn't be as worried!

 

[DannaD]

Turtle I'm glad the HSG went well! When are you supposed to O? : )

 

[patienceiav]

Turtle that sounds really painful! Sorry for derailing by blabbing

I spoke to someone who had "adhesions" on her cervix, making it near impossible to get swimmers through! I hope that the trouble you went through will help open it up a bit, the HSG for me wasn't painful just like a big wave of bad af cramps. Did they give you a next step yet?

 

[DannaD]

Any news Patience, I'm anxious for you over here!

Afm, my temps seems normal ish again, I'm just gonna assume femara makes my temps crazy. Took last pills yesterday, now I wait for tuesday's appointement, I'm a ball of stress : /

 

[patienceiav]

I'm glad your temps have smoothed out ! That could be your hormones settling down a bit, hopefully the femera will do its thing

Not feeling confident the spotting was quite strong yeserday and friday but non existant today, tests basically still look like they did on friday tried a CB digi and was negative, that basically crushed me but my temps are the same. Go figure

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Patience, my sister (with both her pregnancies) has light bleeding (which she thought was a period). She has two healthy kids, the first is going to be 8 (which I'm trying to boycot, she's not allowed to be 8 already!) And the second will be 4 ( also not acceptable) this year. I'm praying that this is just some light bleeding and that you have a healthy pregnancy! 💚💟💗😘💜❤😍

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Danna, the clomid had my hormones all over the place, the fermara I'm actually pretty level. Maybe it would be the other way around for you? Though clomid has more side effects and you can't take it very long because it thins the lining of your uterus.

 

[DannaD]

Are you being monitered when you are on clomid/femara Charlie? Do you know how many follies you produce on them? Just curious : )

Patience, it's very good that the spotting almost stopped! I'm still very hopeful for you, let this be a sticky!

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Danna, I don't get the US to check. I only have blood test to confirm ovulation. So I don't know how many I produce or any of that. And I don't have those done because my body just doesn't follow through with ovulation, there is no physical cause for it for me. Every test I've had is normal and I'm perfectly fine, I just don't fully ovulate. I get an LH surge and everything.

Afternoon, ladies! Sorry for my absence. Sierra, sorry that I never gave you a proper welcome! Hi, and welcome to the group! Glad to have you with us. I really hope you have an easy time coming off the pill, and that you don't have to wait long to get your bfp!

Patience, I think that's great news that your spotting has stopped, and that your temp hasn't dropped! And I know it's obviously better for the line to get darker, but it should be a good sign that it's not getting lighter, right? Oh, I so have everything crossed that this is a sticky one for you! I'm holding my breath and hoping so hard. When is AF due again?

Charlie, yes! The balloon and the contrast were the sucky parts. Being dilated didn't even really hurt honestly. The balloon felt like the pressure/cramping they had talked about, but the contrast felt like fire! I would NOT have described that as cramping like they did. Then I started hurting a few hours after, it felt like my insides were bruised. Did you have that? It hurt to stand up straight. Thankfully that started to go away by yesterday mid-morning. By the way, although I totally support you taking a break if that's what you need, I'm secretly glad to have you still here with us.

Danna, I'm glad it seems that your temps have regulated themselves better now! Is your appt on Tuesday to check your follicles? I really hope you get good news, please keep us posted!

I think I should be Oing on Thursday. I guess we better get going with our EOD bding soon! Although honestly, with his sperm count and morphology, I'm not very hopeful at all. I'm trying to stay positive in reminding myself that it only takes 1, and that while his numbers are really low for what they should be, even with only 1% morphology there's still like 50,000 good swimmers in there. That's not a lot, I know...but it's a lot more than the one little guy that needs to make it! Patience, I don't really know yet what the next step is. I guess we have to decide which RE we want to go to and see what the have to say. With his numbers, I'm almost positive they'll suggest we go to IUI or even IVF right off the bat...I read something online that 5-10 million is considered VERY low and his is barely above the low end of that. It said that 5-10 million they do IUI or IVF, and below 5 million (considered extremely low) they just go straight to IVF I think. So we'll see. :/

I'm glad the spotting has stopped, the CB digis aren't very sensitive, maybe try another in a few days? Might be worth trying a different brand of line test tho, honestly the cheapies didn't show any progression for me at the beginning x
