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

[Wtbam]

I think my plan of action is to pee in a cup and wait yo see how the ic develops. If its darker, I will dip the dogotal too. If not, ill wait. Then agaon I might wake up tomorrow and realise this has all been a dream!

wtbam-the bottom one is definitely darker! Do you have any idea what the sensitivity on your ic's is? Digi's usually take about 50miu, and can sometime falsely say not pregnant when you are, better buy a double pack to be safe, but I think this may be your bfp, looks promising, call your doc in the am!!

 

[twinkie2]

Wnt2be-fx'd that its an implantation dip for you!!

Ooh definitely stronger on the lower, I was worried it was the older one can't wait till tomorrow now! What a finish that would be to your crazy cycle

 

[Wtbam]

My ic's are 10miu, and the digital is 25miu. I think I'm too scared to use it in the morning in case it says negative lol!

Sorry to hear, Twinkie I'm right there with you though. Currently on my 5th cycle of TTC after coming off BCP in December. Hoping your next cycle is the one for you! and maybe this one will be for me! It's really hard not to get upset when AF comes, but need to try and stay positive and not stress, because stressing doesn't help anything!

Wtbam- the second one is definitely darker! Really hoping this is it for you!

 

[twinkie2]

wtbam-getting ready for bed here and thinking that you should likely be testing in a few hours!! Can't wait to see it!

Uh not sure I even ovulated now or my body is just REALLY messed up, but I have what I think is EWCM now. So maybe my spike in temp was a fluke and now it is just going back to normal.

I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE! haha

I split my chart again to my second bleed I had after taking the 4 bcps and the crosshairs went away. I really don't think I've o'd yet now...

I got a -opk but I'll keep testing for the next few days and keep track of this new looking goo I have going on hahaha

 

[Wtbam]

Well this just happened. I wasn't going to do the digital, but I accidentaly dropped the ic in the cup of pee and didn't want to wake oh by going to get another one!

Longest 3 minutes of my life!!

I have no words right now...

Haha i knew it! Huge congratulations after all this time, it's crazy! So pleased for you but stop everything you're doing and go hunt that Dr down NOW you need answers on how to go forward, chances are you need more progesterone so at the very least you can come off gradually, good luck and keep us updated

 

[Wtbam]

I'm still staring at it! Can't wait until OH wakes up so I can tell him.

I'm definately going to go to the dr's today, hopefully she can give me some "pregnancy safe" progesterone to keep those levels up. I think I am going to wean off the vitex slowly, and possibly keep the metformin until the end of the 1st trimester!

Oh my god I still am wondering if it can be wrong! I can't believe it!

 

[patienceiav]

You're nice enough to let him wake up?! I would have been running and jumping on him huge congrats! please let me know what the Dr days about the progesterone, I'm really keen to start using the one I got online now funnily enough

 

[Wnt2beAMom]

Yay! Congrats

 

[Wnt2beAMom]

Uh! Crosshairs are back. I'm glad FF thinks I o'd but what's with the EWCM yesterday?

 

[kjg123]

congrats wtbam!!!!
what dpo were you?!

 

[Wtbam]

patience, just got back from the doctor. He told me he didn't see any problem in me stopping the progesterone cold turkey. I told him I wasn't willing to do that, and pushed him to take advice (I am the worst patient ever!).

He put a call through to the consultant on call gynaecologist, who said it shouldn't be a problem stopping it immediately, but if it would make me feel better, I could taper it off, so 2 a day for a week, then 1 a day per day. She said it shouldn't have any adverse affects on the baby. (Omg, baby!!).

I told him I was very worried about miscarriage. He said that if it happens, there will have been a good reason for it, and not to worry too much. I'll try!!!!

 

[patienceiav]

That's great to hear I'm glad you pushed them this being your first cycle post bcp you have no idea if your body has picked up on handling progesterone properly, I'm 8 months post bcp and I've gone from 8-11 day lp naturally meaning my body is producing more progesterone than it did a few months ago.

Normally people should stop charting once they see the + as it can cause undue stress to continue but you do what feels most comfortable for you and the micro bean if i was taking progesterone and got pg I'd want to know my body was taking over properly after stopping

How did your OH take it? Did you have to hang around long for him to wake up?

Congratulations Wtbam!! Wonderful news. So excited for you.

 

[twinkie2]

Oh my gosh wtbam!! So much wonderful news already today! Glad you got to the doc so quickly, I can't believe you're pregnant, after all your waiting and waiting...this seriously couldn't have ended better for you. SOOOO happy for you dear!

Wnt2be-every woman is different and some still get a random ewcm day even after O. Keep doing your temps and opk's until af or a +test comes up. This first cycle is always a bit wonky

 

[lindsvancamp]

Congrats Wtbam! this is amazing news! I think you need to tell your story to others ttc on here to give them hope, you didn't even have AF after coming off bcp, right?? Happy for you!
