[Wtbam]

I had cramps from about 5DPO - 8 weeks pregnant, and I was fine

I can officially call you GBam instead Gonna be a mum! Congrats on the engagement, what a double whammy

My foot is kinda zombie-ish, a blue line of bruising on either side and the top is brown bruises I'm able to walk with the crutches instead of hop on them, I have muscle ache in almost everything, it's starting to out weigh the pain of walking on my foot this has been a great 2ww distraction haha!

Congratulations jessica!

Sorry I've been mia. Back from vacation and trying to get back into the swing of things.

Talked to the Dr Monday I also got another (almost) positive opk on same day. all hpt are BFN . Dr says I'm just not actually ovulating this cycle so I start provera in a few days. I have an appointment on July 1st.

Had the urge to POAS on Monday night with the expectation of a BFN.. and I was right haha. But nipples are still definitely looking larger than normal, along with the Montgomery glands as well. Still sore too. Don't want to keep wasting tests and I probably wouldn't get a positive test even if I was pregnant until more than a week from now. Not sure how coming off the pill cycle works though...

Thank you ladies for explaining this all to me for the millionth time!! I swear I understand everything, I get educated, I plan it all out, and then somehow I convince myself that getting a BFP one day after O is entirely possible! I guess I'll call it baby-brain... without having a baby

Patience - Well its not ideal but I think any TWW distraction is a good one! You never know, while your mind is focusing on your foot, your body may just sneak a little fertilized egg past you! Hope you're getting lots of rest anyhow.

Dent - I think we're going through quite similar things! I hear you on the nipple thing. Perhaps both of us would benefit from not testing for at least a week! BFN's can be so disappointing.

Wtbam - Massive congrats to you!!! You look absolutely radiant in the photo. I bet you feel amazing!!!

Jessica - Can we see the bump? I have to say I was stalking your TWW post, I'm hoping I get a similar result to you so soon off BCP!

Twinkie - FX for you that your doc appt goes well. I'm sure it will all be okay!!

 

[patienceiav]

Aww Charlie that's just bonkers hope that helps you, does provera help ovulation or do they want to bring on AF and start a new cycle?

I think the 2ww nerves have kicked in, I can't tell of I'm nauseus from slogging around on crutches in 25degree heat, not drinking enough maybe only 8dpo but should see my temps go down and start spotting in 2 days :/ boobs felt less juicy which is always an imminent AF sign but temp is still up so who knows Argh I'm just ranting, I know nothing can help I'm just so exhausted from the extra work and my stupid foot and this bloody heat!

Lola... Just for you! Safe to say everyone at work has sussed I'm pregnant already. I'm normally a uk6 and none of my work clothes now fit me. Here's a pic from just now.

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

So cute Jessica!

Patience- they want me to start a new cycle. They are hoping it "resets" me and that once I get a period my body will ovulate normally again. Hopefully with a shorter cycle too. I will start the provera on the 17th.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you and that you're really just "knocked up"as my hubby would say.

 

[twinkie2]

Jessica-look how freakin cute you are! Love it!

CC-hoping that a reset is all you need to bring on that lovely bfp! It's time!

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Thank you twinkie!! hows things going over your way? Any new news? ?

 

[twinkie2]

Nope, same old story over here, just waiting! O won't be til next weekend, just twiddling my thumbs in the meantime

 

[patienceiav]

Twinkie, never miss a chance to save those swimmers every dr I see here says they can survive for *up to* 7days, although 4-5 is most likely, i'm like hold on swimmers i'll keep you alive !

Jess, super cute bump you're lucky your bloat looks like a pregnant belly ! I think my tummy looks like that on a regular day ok not quite as bad but sucks being "slim" and then HI HAVE A KANGAROO POUCH wtf

I want my super boobs back ! will be interesting to see what tomorrows' temp brings, pretty much the turning point for me as 9-10 dpo is spotting season no symptoms than the reduced in soreness boobs, still not sure if I can chalk the nausea down to everything else or hope it's something good, but it's not overwhelming sickness at least

 

[twinkie2]

Haha patience, I intend to! Actually told DH to get ready for a busy weekend I won't do anything while AF is even remotely lingering around and I had a little spotting yet this morning, but I fairly certain tomorrow will be safe

So hoping to see a temp rise in the morning for you!

 

[ms_lola]

Oh my Jessica, what a gorgeous little bump!!! I agree with patience, you're lucky it doesn't just look like you've been eating extra burgers!!

I'm 6dpo today (I think) and I woke up with a dry sore throat and sniffly nose. I had really bad AF type cramps last night and my nips are still really sore, but beyond that nothing interesting to report! Time never goes so slowly than when you're tww!!

 

[patienceiav]

This mornings temp went down a little, but as long as it stays above 36.7, if it goes to 36.6 I know to expect AF :/ couldn't resist a test this morning and definite BFN. Not surprised though ! Perhaps the vitb complex will help my LP this month still have sore boobs which i'm holding on to (sometimes literally lol) as soon as they go that's it !

 

[ms_lola]

FX for you patience! You're still around 9/10dpo yes? Still chance of a BFP!

 

[mkyerby16]

Hi ladies! May I join?

I just took my last pill a while ago! I've been on it for over 8 years, so who knows what my body will decide to do, but DH and I and going to jump right into TTC #1! I started the pill when I was 16, so I know it doesn't mean much, but I had very regular 28-29 day cycles pre-pill. Praying everything goes back to normal quickly... but also a bit terrified of how my body will react. Part of the reason I started the pill to begin with is because I couldn't deal with my horrible AF cramps & crazy heavy flow... here's to hoping for a speedy BFP and as few AF's as possible!

 

[patienceiav]

9dpo yeah normally spot 9-11dpo so now is the final stretch for me

Hey mk! Welcome to the fun house i had really heavy painful periods pre bcp, had fairly standard medium flow on it and now it's pathetically light :/ hope yours evens out!

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Fingers crossed for you Twinkie!
And you too patience!

Welcome Mk!

 

[twinkie2]

Of course and welcome mkerby16!! Ask, share, laugh, whatever to get you through to your BFP!! I'll get you added to the front page, what bcp were you on?

Also, not sure how much reading you've done of the thread, but I was on a low dose oral pill from 17 to 28! I had super regular periods prior to taking the pill, but very intense cramping. I have had a fairly consistent 27/28 day cycle since quitting back in December (seriously, how has it been that long already?!) My first few periods were pretty light, but more recently the heavy cramping is coming back which made me believe it really did take me a few good cycles to bring my body back to normal after being on the pill so long. Cramps are no where near as bad as when I was younger though. Just wanted to share my experience, but as you will see, we are all so very different, the more stories the better idea we get of ourselves Best of luck to you!

Hope everyone is doing well and as usual all around!
