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

[patienceiav]

Double witch, so sorry crack open the wine and grab some choccies!

Do you two know what your next plan is with the Dr? Danna are you going to be doing more IUI or was that just a one off? Charlie I hope your Dr will look into more than just giving you meds and leaving you to it, it's good to try something for 3 months when there's that average 1 in 3 chance of a bfp, but sounds like it's time for a change.

I'm doing OK, I still don't believe hubby would be happy with a bfp now, I don't believe he went 3 months utterly believing he didn't want kids, only to turn around after a week of me dying of heartbreak. So not tracking anything is a good thing now, I mean we can't get a sticky trying everything so we're safe now, if something happens it'll be fate that it did cuz I'm pretty sure I'm a lost cause without ivf!

On a random note, we dtd twice in a day for the first time since we met all 5 years ago that was so fun!

Patience, that's really great to hear! I'm glad your DH is coming around. I went through a similar thing when we were facing problems 5yrs ago. I convinced myself that I didn't want children, that I'd be fine without them, but there was always this hole in my heart. I'd always wanted to be a Mum. I am glad your DH is feeling a bit more positive, maybe he was just getting freaked out by the process & things not working.

Charlie, I'm ok thanks Morning sickness has been really rough & a lot of things have started to smell like sewage.. Food, drinks, objects even! Stay positive xx

Glad things are looking up patience!! 😘😘 yay for DTD twice in one day! I love when that happens. It's extremely rare lol.

Charmed, hopefully your morning sickness calms down!

AFM: I'm going to ask what other testing we can do on me to make sure it's not a hidden issue we just haven't found. I'm also going to try and lose more weight before that appointment. I don't want her to say anything about losing weight being the magic answer because my weight isn't changing my hormones so that's not an excuse.

Also we will talk about IUI and IVF. But I think more than likely, that will be a ways down the road. I think the price tag of either is a bit much to swallow right now and if we go that route then I want to have some money saved first. Because although I have amazing insurance, they only cover a certain amount of "infertility treatment" and I don't want us to have to deal with that bill on to of everything else without being prepared. So this might be an even longer road than it already is. Or maybe not. Only time will tell.

How are you Danna? Turtle?

 

[DannaD]

Hello girls, back on Femara 2.5mg/10 days, the cycle continues. Will have a US on April 24th to check for follies.
I think the plan is to have me do IUI at least 3-4 times before moving on to IVF. I'm going with the flow here, figure they know what they are doing

Love you ladies xxx

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

So my sister just told me she's pregnant. I just don't even.

 

[patienceiav]

Oh god, I can't imagine let me guess, it just happened and wasn't planned ? Sorry the bitter cynic is arising !

 

[DannaD]

Oh Charlie, trust me I know how you are feeling... I'd like to say it gets easier but I'm still bitter about it all

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Well, I knew they were NTNP but seriously.... Like ugh! She felt horrible about it, but wanted to tell me first instead of me finding out through someone else, which I appreciate. I cried at lunch today. My DH made me feel better and I'm going to have a girls night with my best is. Wine and chick flicks.

 

[patienceiav]

I'm glad she knew about your situation and told you first, but that must have hurt I'd be crushed if my hubby's brothers fiancée got pregnant, luckily that's very very unlikely to happen, we will probably conceive naturally before they want kids (so in several years time then) but you never know!

Big enjoy your chick flicks and wine! Xx

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Thanks Patience. Feeling better about it all today, though I do have a small headache lol.

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Well now I feel like a total ass. My sister thinks she's having a miscarriage.

 

[patienceiav]

Oh dear, I hope she's ok

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

She is supposed to take anther test this morning. She said her bleeding stopped late afternoon yesterday. So I'm just waiting for her to tell me something.

 

[patienceiav]

Ooh, I got a glimpse from hubby today and was so pleased! I have no idea what cd I am now, maybe it's past ov but post bd I went "best get rid of these bad boys" and he's like aren't you saving them? *relief* I've actually been afraid of getting pregnant now cuz I didn't fully believe he was on board, but he said saving is fine and since our track record is so bad then why not! I practically skipped back to bed to lay down now I can relax into our non ttc life completely

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Yay!!! Such great news Patience!!

 

[May112]

Don't fret. I was on BCP for 13 years, and after the first month of coming off it was regular. It's amazing how our bodies bounce back. I only have one ovary and was fine.

 

[patienceiav]

Lucky for you, mine is still irregular and I've been off bcp since august 2013.

 

[DannaD]

Yeah this isn't the most "everything bounced back" group, but lucky for you xD

How is your sister Charlie?

That's great news Patience!! Are you feeling more relaxed without the temping and stuff? I stopped temping for this cycle and I sleep much better : )

 

[patienceiav]

*grumbles*

Yeah i'm feeling great I feel a little guilty for actually sitting back and feeling that life is good, and getting pregnant would almost pop this little bit of harmony I have going at the moment. I've got a great hobby, starting a new job, hubby is going to study so he can swap professions, life is good now, i'm very content not to get a bfp now. Which is probably a good thing since I doubt we'll get a sticky without help (though you never know) but I just feel bad you know ? It's taking some adjusting and trying to step back from it all

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Hi May, glad things went back to normal for you so quickly.

well my sister did have a miscarriage. But she's doing alright. She's hanging with her hubby and Son out shopping.


Glad you're so happy patience!! It makes me happy!

AFM I'm just hanging out seeing what happens. Lol
