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

[twinkie2]

Of course! I'll post tomorrows pick in the morning, I'll test everyday til it's nice and dark or AF arrives!

 

[prachipie]

Keeping fingers crossed for you! Have you had any symptoms?

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Prachpie - congratulations!

Twinkie fingers crossed for you!

Wtbam- your symptoms sound like they could be due to an approaching AF. I get both tired and sightly sensitive nipples when AF is on her way now that my cycles are normal.

As for me I'm somewhere past O not sure as I didn't track this cycle but lots on pinching in my left ovary area. It was in the right but switched... Little confused bc I normally feel a dull achy pinching when I ovulate but I got that already. This one is more Sharp. Not sure what to think. AF is due around the 18th or so.

Wow Prachipie that's super, congrats!

Twinkie I'm terrible in the art of line spotting but I hope there's something for you on your next poas

Wtbam sounds like every girl in 2ww hehe, progesterone is a cruel creature really! It sure should cause af once you stop taking it I'm very glad you're testing just in case though!

As for me I've been having faint lines on opk since cd10 (now cd17), getting stronger then fainter but yesterday I got my partial ferning on my ov microscope and thanks to EPO my first ewcm in months that stuff makes me sick to my stomach but works a dream! If we manage nothing else this month we bd:ed when I had super fertile cm which is so rare

Twinkie any update? I am stalking you right now, test test test! I've looked at your 10dpo test on my pc now, it's a super squinter but there may be something else there!!

Feeling so rubbish today, sore throat (AGAIN, third time in a row without shaking this cold!), achey all over and cramps. I have 2 days left of the Progesterone to go, I think I am due one of the worst AF's of my life.

Hey wtbam, thanks for stalking I'm having a bad morning, my fmu test is bad, got an awful evap with a weird dye smear across the top of the test so no info. I'll post the pic anyways, but really scared that our little monkey isn't sticking

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well and I agree, you are probably in for an awful af, but here's to hoping it gets you good and cleaned out for a good and fresh cycle!!! Fx'd, only two more days

 

[Wtbam]

I'm not sure..... I think you are right, it might be an evap. Your temps are still looking good though. Why don't you buy an FRER to use tomorrow morning if the FMU with cheapy test looks good?

 

[prachipie]

Ah, sorry Twinkle that is super frustrating. Temps are still nice and high though!

 

[twinkie2]

Thanks girls, appreciate the support. I went ahead and did another test with smu. I haven't seen anything come up outside of FMU, but there may (fx'd) be a line on this, hard to tell though. I guess I'll be waiting til tomorrow. Really hoping this line can start getting darker soon!!

I'll wait on a frer, these cheapies are 10miu, so if it's hardly registering on these, a frer won't pick it up for a bit yet either

 

[Wtbam]

I'm sorry hun, I don't see anything on that one

Looks like on your chart you may have had an implantation dip on 5DPO, so that would mean you only have had 6 days since.

I would try tomorrow morning and see what that brings!!

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

It's so hard to tell on my phone twinkie. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! I would take a reg test in a few days. Your temps are good so it might just be too soon to get an accurate test.

Wtbam - my first normal cycle AF was horrible! But I was so glad to be back to normal I didn't mind too much lol. Though I think I wanted to rip out my uterus. Lol.

I'm still getting some pinching but not really any CM to speak of so I'm thinking no luck this cycle. My bbs are tender but that could be bc AF is due next week. So I'm going to start planning for next cycle.

How's everyone else today?

 

[prachipie]

Hey Crazy, you're not out yet! Really the only symptons I've had have been pinching/sore lower ab muscles (but only when I contract them). I had sticky CM post-O and even around O time, so I thought there was no chance.

 

[Wnt2beAMom]

Hey Twinkie I have heard of a lot of people not liking those wondfo pg tests. I'd try a FRER test with the pink dye tomorrows FMU.

So I don't know if its just reading all these pg symptoms from others people but I just sat down for a snack at work, and now feel kinda ill. I think it would be too early for pg symptoms so its probably just progesterone affecting me.

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Prachipie- Thank you! My pinching is around my left ovary area (I think Lol) and it's not constant. I just checked CM and its kinda sticky and milky colored.

I still have a while until AF so we shall see I guess!

 

[KimmyBeeSweet]

I'd like to jump on this thread too. I'm relatively new to the site and I still haven't gotten the hang of it.

This was my first cycle off of BC. My AF came right on schedule but was significantly lighter and shorter than usual (2 days vs 5). I haven't taken a test since my AF came... do you think I should? I'd LOVE some advice ladies. I don't want to get my hopes up, but there is that little voice in the back of my mind that says juuuust maybe...

 

[prachipie]

Hey Kimmy, and welcome!

Have you been temping or using OPKs? It is hard to tell if you're late or not when you come off of BCP because do don't know if/when you ovulated.

I don't do anything - so I guess I don't know for sure what I was.. Do you think I could still be in the running??

 

[prachipie]

Well, when you say AF came like normal, do you know that it was AF or could it have been a withdrawal bleed (the "period" you get when you're on the pill the last week of each cycle)?

Honestly, that's the reason I temped (it is certainly no fun!) because even if you have a normal first cycle off of O, some people have a following anovulatory cycle.

All that being said, of course there's a chance!

But it is hard to know where you are in your cycle without temping (or if you know you get O pains) when you're coming off the pill.

I had a withdrawal bleed a couple days after I took the ring out and took that as a period then expected af 21 days after that

Hi girls! It's been a while since I posted, been trying not to stress about TTC and was also just on vacation!
I had a question for those of you who have been off bcp for several months now. I stopped in December and noticed that the past two months i was getting O pains and the EWCM around cycle day 18 or 19. However, this month I took a OPK yesterday and it was positive (i think), then I had the EWCM today which is on CD 14- earlier then the past few months. I was wondering if anyone else noticed changes in the days they ovulate? I'm hoping my cycle stays on this track because getting the EWCM so late in my cycle was worrying me. I've read a lot about having a short luteal phase, etc.

Anyways, baby dust to all of you!
