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

[patienceiav]

My foot still hurts like a beep but back to work weds! There's just something close to my ankle bone that burns when I walk how is your cycle going? Are you in the 2ww yet do you think?

I'm wondering where mermaid is also..

 

[DentDoc16]

Thanks for the advice girls! Thinking back on it, I think technically it was only a 23 day cycle since I should count yesterday as cd1. Yeah, I'm hoping things are a little more "normal" this month.

I like the picture of your "blob"! Hehe.

 

[twinkie2]

patience! I just realized I don't have you on the front page!!! Eek! Can you tell me again how long you were on bcp, when you started ttc, and what you were on?

 

[curiousowl]

Ladies, thank you so much for thinking of me. I think I'd updated that I finally O'd on CD34 after 5 months off the pill? Well, I know for sure I did since I got a BFP at 12dpo, after I thought I was out (light bleeding and temp drop). I even got a + digi at 14dpo. Unfortunately I spotted off and on until yesterday (16dpo), when I started bleeding. So, chemical pregnancy. It sucks a lot right now but hopefully the vitex continues to help and I get a sticky BFP soon.

Aww so sorry curious! At least you know your able to get pregnant. Prayers for a sticky bean next cycle.

 

[twinkie2]

massive again curious, it's not easy to go through. Don't be surprised if your next O is a little off from the chemical so sorry!

 

[patienceiav]

Big for you curious, it really sucks hope you can pull some positivity that those swimmers are meeting that eggie, i know it was a relief to know the first time it happened for me

Twinkie, that's because i have a shady memory of bcp already I was on microgynon (i think it's called) from 2002-2006, had a break, Yasmin from 2009-2012 then another generic pill from 2012- august 2013 when i stopped totally to ttc

 

[twinkie2]

Thanks patience, hope that foot heals up soon for you!

 

[Wtbam]

Twinkie your TWW seems to have come round quick again! Good luck!

 

[twinkie2]

Really!? Oh my gosh, I thought it took forever and now I'm just so ready for testing but not really hopeful. I ovulated on cd15, but we only got to bd on cd 12, 15 & 16 because DH was not well. I know it only takes one, but don't feel very confident because we didn't get much pre-O sex

 

[patienceiav]

Whaaaat ! I think those are great odds ! both times we concieved it was when we got Ov day, normally we get the day before because i always err on the side of caution and don't want to risk ov'ing that day and missing it !

We normally DTD every other, even during fertile time, can't push hubs to do more than that so I think you covered your bases nicely

 

[twinkie2]

Thanks, I sure hope it's enough. We usually bd every day leading up to O for about 4 days, plus o day and day after if we have the ambition, so for us, it's pretty lousy, but DH felt so miserable I was amazed he was up for it O day and day after

 

[mkyerby16]

Twinkie I think it sounds like pretty good odds. Fx'd!

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Twinkie those are great odds!!!!

Tomorrow is my last day of Provera so we will see if anything happens. I did notice that my boobs are a bit achy which is a side effect so it must be doing something!

Hope your foot feels better soon patience! I hate when i hurt myself (which is often) lol. I'm a total clutz. I wake up with new bruises daily.

 

[twinkie2]

CC2-I'm the same way and I rarely seem to know what they are from

 

[ms_lola]

good morning ladies!

so I have to say, my first 'real' AF off BCP was excruciating! I don't really remember what it was like pre-bcp, but I pretty much spent the last four days in bed! Awful cramps and much heavier than I'm used to...hope that's not what it'll be like every month!

Anyway I'm on a mission now to really prep my body, so I'm having maca smoothies every day, eating all the good stuff and none of the bad (although I can't seem to kill my daily coffee fix ) taking lots of vitamins etc. Hopefully it works!

I hope you're all doing well, Twinkie I have my FX for you that this TWW will be the one!!

 

[Wtbam]

Crazycharlie, I would do a preg test just before you stop... just in case you have the same situation as me!!!!!!!!!

 

[curiousowl]

I so appreciate all the well wishes you guys. I'm feeling a bit better and moving on to next cycle. Hopefully I'll get my sticky one soon. Twinkie, maybe you could update my blurb on the front page to include that my 2nd cycle was anovulatory, 70 days and that I O'd CD34 on cycle 3? Good luck everyone!

 

[twinkie2]

Done curious! And you will get your sticky rainbow soon! I hope you are doing okay, I know I was not in good shape after my early loss, and I just want you to know that you aren't alone

 

[curiousowl]

Thanks so much twinkie, both for the update and for the understanding. As you know, it is super rough to know that you were pregnant but that you're not anymore. I'm so sorry for your losses as well. I have a good feeling for both of us though!
