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

[twinkie2]

Twinkie...I realized you haven`t put Prachipie`s BFP on the front page

And I think there are a few girls who initally commented on this thread but have stopped commenting, who are pregnant too.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention!! I'll get her BFP changed on the front page right now!

If you notice some that are expecting but haven't updated let me know. I'd really like to be able to put their bcp and how long it took to get the bfps for each so that others searching can see that. There are just so many types out there, the bigger our list, the better!!!

I am feeling very hopeful now...I checked CM today and it was kind of pinkish...I also have some intense cramping..I looked at my chart in Fahrenheit, because my thermometer only does Celsius... and I can see the temp shift so much clearer!
I also looked over my past journal entries and even though I had no idea what I was talking about, I think with hindsight I did O on the 3rd.

Wtbam do you think you had any implantation bleeding or cramping?

 

[Wtbam]

I may have had cramping, as I have had cramping on and off since about 5DPO, but definately no bleeding. Just checked my cervix, is feels hugely different to what I did before I had my BFP. It is low, and so hard that it has almost changed shape. Just thought I would mention it so people could spot it if it happened to them! There were a couple of other 'odd' things that may or may not be related, too!

OOH!! Thank you for posting this for all of us! I've always heard people say it changes when you're pregnant, but I've never actually seen anyone say what it was like really!!

That's funny! Most pg people I've known said it was high, everyone is built different though

I'm sat here at cd20, watery cm, partial ferning and far too faint opk I've seen every day since cd10 had ewcm cd16 so got my bd on, ofcourse yesterday I had creamy when we bd now I have no chance to dtd till Saturday, math be Sunday, stupid ov!

 

[Wtbam]

Ive googled it... it says it goes high shortly after the bfp

 

[prachipie]

Yeah mine was low earlier this week too! But I haven't been tracking it much, so I wasn't sure what to make of it.

wtbam- congrats!!!! so so happy for you!!! your story definitely gives me hope

im sitting here at cd33 with no BFP and no AF. I (regrettably) don't temp but got a +opk on cd19 and assumed that i ovulated on cd20 but who knows. that would make me 13dpo and BFN today i think i'm probably out it just sucks not having AF to know for sure...

This is my third cycle ttc since stopping ocps and my first 2 cycles were around 60 days so unfortunately im probably still in that anovulatory phase. will continue to wait around for AF and then hopefully try and start temping next cycle to see if im actually ovulating.

thanks for letting me share in your guys' bfp stories!!

 

[twinkie2]

kgj-you can always start temping now, just remember that it's not a full cycle, but it's amazing how much you can learn about your body with temping. This past cycle was my first full cycle temping, but the cycle before I actually began temping after O to see if my temp dropped. Do you check CP/CM?

 

[Wnt2beAMom]

Hey, question: For those of you who SWORE you were pregnant first month off the pill...why did you feel this way? What were your symptoms?

 

[Wtbam]

Wnt2beamum, I swore I was pregnant 1st month off the pill.

These were my symptoms:

Cramping, sore breasts and nipples, emotional, creamy CM, felt bloated/pulling sensations in lower abdomen, sex felt different, on/off nausea, tired!

 

[Wnt2beAMom]

Thanks, yeah I have most of those. I wasn't too hopeful until I noticed my CM was pinkish yesterday. That got my hopes up and now feel every symptom in the book.

 

[lindsvancamp]

I also had all the same symptoms Wtbam had first month off pill. It was crazy!

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

I had all those and I had no idea when AF would show up so I was over thinking all of it!

 

[patienceiav]

I felt extremely bloated, my stomach was hard and stood out, I was nauseus and could barely eat anything, it was crazy!

 

[Wnt2beAMom]

Thanks...so I haven't O'd I'm sure of now. Just not enough of a temp rise and I never did see a +opk. Or "good enough" EWCM. I just must have the crazy symptoms you all had off the pill. They are insane. Sorry to be a stalker Wtbam but I just keep comparing your chart to mine, and you did have a gradual rise and patches of EWCM too. So I think my body must be trying....but I just have to be patient.

I feel like I want a baby so bad right now! I had someone I know announce they are pregnant again too. There are now 4 couples I know who got married this summer, like us, who are now pregnant. One of which got married the week after us. They got pregnant that month.
The most recent announcement just erks me though because they did the whole picture of 3 pairs of shoes....and in writing says "Oh by the way...we're expecting September 26, 2014"
The "Oh by the way" Is what upset me...like them saying "oh no big deal"
Am I just being insensitive?

 

[Wtbam]

Wnt2beamum, stalk away! I had 3 days of 'low' temps after ovulation before a saw a rise, and that rise only corresponded to when I started taking the progesterone. Whether it not it would have gone up anyway - I guess i will never know!

Totally normal to feel this way. They don't know you're struggle or what you're going through and so you can't take it personally. Think of it as more of them trying to be funny, not snobby. ♡ it's hard especially when you're having so many symptoms! Every month or seems another friend or family member of mine announces that they are pregnant. It's hard not to feel really upset and really annoyed. But I have to remind myself that they don't know I've spent the last 7 months trying to get pregnant and I'm not. So they don't know that their announcement might upset me.

Just gotta stay strong and smile. You will get your BFP when you're supposed to.

 

[patienceiav]

I feel much more mellow on Cycle 8 than I did even just a couple of months ago, the baby want is still there but it doesn't consume me now, I think when first starting ttc is like "yes let's get this baby NOW!" but the months wear that off. I figure I'll have a whole new level of appreciation when I finally get my bfp

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Totally agreed patience! I am much more relaxed now than I was before. Lol. Of course my first few cycles were so crazy that it didn't help. Now that they are normal I've relaxed.
