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

[CrazyCharlie2]

Welcome LNDnurse!

Danna, I'm so sorry hun! The HSG will at least give some answers and will "clean you out" Hopefully they figure out what you need soon! Keep your chin up, I know its hard.

Patience, I have done the same thing! I have decided to work on my weight and think less about TTC unless it's O time I and hoping that your stress goes down!!!

 

[DannaD]

Thanks ladies, I'll try keeping my chin up. It's just so sad and frustrating, why is it so damn hard for us? : (

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Our time will come. ❤😘💚💗💜💟

Hi Ladies! It's o time soon for me (I hope!)

Not using a opk, but I'm getting weird crampy feelings around where my ovaries are that I vaguely remember from before going on BC and it's around the right time. We'll see! Although cm is just watery.. I don't think I've ever had ewcm, or at least not that I recall. So maybe not.

I think I'm going to attempt to be with you all on the exercise focus aside from right now.

 

[patienceiav]

Hope you get your bd in to cover ov Sierra!

Right my info, starting today:

Weight: 65kg/10st4/143lbs

Realistic goal: 60kg/9st6/132lbs

If I can hit my first goal I'll knock another 5kg off, but I will be very happy to get to that realistic goal in a couple of months I'll gym religiously 3 days a week, and try to eat well but as soon as I deny myself stuff I go mad wanting it!

Who's with me?! Weight loss for happiness and babies!

 

[DannaD]

Go ladies go!
I don't want to loose weight, but my cardio sucks. I'll work on it 3 times a week, mostly on the stationary bike I own :')

Charlie, I'm glad that you ended up getting a positive opk! That's great news! And I hope you were feeling well enough to be able to bd, and that you caught it!

Patience, I see from your chart that AF ended up arriving today? I'm so, so sorry. I'm happy for you that it wasn't an ectopic, but I'm so sorry that it wasn't your sticky bean. Were you able to get a hold of the Dr at all? I love your motivation with the weight loss too! That's awesome! I did this weight loss challenge thing for the 2nd time a few months ago, I managed to lose about 8 lbs but now I've gained a little of it back. Not a ton thankfully, but I hate that I'm gaining any back at all (especially when I still had more to lose)! My sister and I were doing great exercising together by taking walks at work a lot (I work at their house) but it's been so cold lately that we haven't been staying on top of it. I'm hoping it warms back up soon so we can get back at it again!

Danna, I'm so sorry that you didn't get good results at your scan. I really hope the HSG does the trick and helps clear you out. We totally understand you taking a step back when you need to, and we're always here for you when you're ready to come back!

Welcome, LnD! That's so wonderful that your Dr is willing to check everything out whenever you and DH are ready, and I think that's a great plan to wait until after vacation! Good luck, I really hope this is your month!

Sierra, yay for O time!!! FX that you caught it, good luck!

 

[patienceiav]

tanks Turtle honey, i'm in a shocking good mood for no reason at all ! I think it was a bit of a relief to get AF now after all this, plus I just have gone through every single variable for getting a sticky that I can think of and nothing has helped, last month it went neg at 10dpo and i didn't get af till i stopped the progesterone, this month it probably died at 13dpo when i had a mini bleed and the rest was just leftover hormones, either way i just cannot think of a single way to help me, i don't need help getting pregnant that happens nearly every month lol, i just cannot get it to stick


I see you're past ov now, such a nice feeling no more obligations on BD, now it's for fun ! Which day closest to ov did you catch ? Let's hope that HSG helps

My cardio is hideuos running for the tube in the morning is an exercise in embarassment !

 

[sierraecho89]

I *hate* cardio--I'm in a musical right now, and we're supposed to sing and dance at the same time, and I'm like... HOW DO PEOPLE DO THIS?! Uggggh! Oh well, it's good for us, right? xD

Does anyone else have a fitbit? We could be exercise buddies!

No rise in temp today, so I must not have O'ed yesterday. Paranoid that I won't because of BCP. Grrr. Although I tend to sleep with my mouth open (or so hubby says), so... who knows? Today my temp was 96.5! Doesn't that seem a little low?? Still no EWCM. =( This month probably won't be the one.

 

[Turtle0630]

Patience, I love that you're in such a good mood! There doesn't have to be a reason for it...just take it! I can totally understand it being a relief for AF to come with the limbo you've been in. I just can't understand why you can't get a little bean to stick, and why the doctors can't figure it out either! I really hope this pushes them more into gear though!

And thank you on your kind words! FF thinks I O'd on Friday due to my +opk on Thursday, which is very possible. I tested it again Friday morning it was almost positive but not quite, so I think it was on the downward swing. I didn't bother to test again after that. I've always had O pains and the last few months they've been getting steadily stronger and stronger. This month I was looking for those strong pinches and didn't get anything close to that so I'm assuming the HSG helped with that. I felt slight twinges on Thursday, Friday and Saturday so really, O day could have been any of those in my mind. I wasn't looking for the slight twinges so I didn't pay them a lot of attention at the time. We dtd on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday, and I'm good with that! We'll see if that HSG helped at all or not.

Sierra, I'm sorry that you didn't get your temp rise today. It doesn't necessarily mean that you didn't O yet though, I've seen some women on here who don't get their rise for 3-5 days after O day for some reason. If you haven't yet, then I really hope you do soon! Have you taken any more opk's to see where those stand?

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Patience, here are my stats:

Current: 218.5lbs (disgusted with myself)

Goal :155lbs

I started Nutrisystem last month, I've lost 4.5 lbs on it so far, but I haven't stuck with the plan fully. I get more next week.

I'm starting a 21 day cardio challege this week.

I get my Blood test done tomorrow. I'm worried it will be Neg since I think I O'd so late. But who freaking knows. I sure dont. lol

For any ladies with fitbit I think my username is crazycharlie23.

 

[patienceiav]

You're off to a great start Charlie I hope that even if I don't eat perfectly that the constant gymming will still help!

I've called my drs office and explained, so I'm keeping my visit on 12th and just hoping she doesn't send me away I'm so tired and dizzy today, such a change compared to yesterday just want to lie down but need to go gym after work!

 

[DannaD]

Going to HSG this morning, very nervous :'s
Send me positive waves ladies

 

[Charmed86]

Charlie, I'm on Fitbit & will add you as soon as I figure out how! Haha. I always forget how to add people. I think it's great you've got something else to focus on while TTC. In the end, for me, I stopped focussing on my weight so much & I regret that. It was a good distraction! I hope your blood test goes ok, hopefully something will show up even if you O'd later than they were hoping!

Danna - Good luck for your HSG, I hope it's quick & painless for you

Patience - I hope your Dr is able to help. I'm sorry you're feeling so rubbish since starting AF Really push your Dr, don't take no for an answer! They've got to get to the bottom of this xxx

AFM - I had my scan yesterday, & despite the bleeding, all is ok I'm going to put a proper update in my journal as I don't want to put anything that might upset anyone. That way people can choose to read it or not But yeah, everything is ok anyway.

 

[Turtle0630]

Charlie, I think you're off to a great start! Congrats on your weight loss already, and I'm rooting for you! Also, good luck with your blood work. I hope it can still show that you O'd, although I don't really know how that works if you O late? Either way, good luck!

Danna, good luck with the HSG today!!! Please keep us posted. I really hope that it doesn't hurt for you, that your tubes are nice and clean, and that this "flushing" out helps you conceive right away! I have everything crossed for you! Is DH able to go with you today?

Charmed, so happy that all went well with your scan! I need to go check out your pregnancy journal so I can follow you there.

Patience, I'm glad you're able to keep your appointment on the 12th, and I really hope they're able to get to the bottom of this quickly!

 

[sierraecho89]

Good luck, Danna! Fx for you!

Charmed, that's wonderful news. Yay for things working out okay!

I think I might stop temping. Woke up and my temperature was 96 degrees. Aka I'm breathing through my mouth during sleep. Laid in bed going in and out of sleep for awhile, 97.2. Stayed there more awake, 97.7. So.. This probably isn't effective for me unless I get another kind of thermometer. Sigh.

 

[DannaD]

Charmed!! So happy it went well! Congrats! : )

Sierra, you could temp vaginally next cycle, much more stable.

Thanks ladies! It went well. Everything is clear and I'm just cramping a bit, menstrual cramps like. Which is funny since I haven't had those in 10 years, but reconized it right away.

So now Provera, and then another try at Femara, 2.5 cd 2-11. I'm not hoping much.

 

[Turtle0630]

Danna, I'm so glad that everything went okay, that's fabulous news! I really hope this flushing out is just what you needed and that now you catch that eggie next time!!! Take it easy today, I hope the cramping doesn't get too bad, and that you don't get too much spotting.

Sierra, I agree with Danna, maybe temping vaginally would be better for you. That is something that I was never willing or able to get into, but I do hear that it's a lot more accurate, especially for mouth breathers. I'm one too, but thankfully my temping was never too erratic.

 

[DannaD]

Thanks Turtle! Though in my case just getting an eggie would be improvement, nevermind catching it xD

About temping vaginally, I kind of thought "eww" as well, but after getting a wand shoved up my lady parts 3 times in the last 3 weeks, and some dye trown in there for good mesure, a thermometer really is no big deal xD

 

[MrsHudson]

I'm glad things went well danna! Here's to hoping it works.

Patience I hope you can get to the bottom of this. It's quite upsetting for me to read so I can't imagine what you're going through. It makes me happy to see you be so positive though.
