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

[CrazyCharlie2]

Thanks ladies! Im feeling a lot better after my chat with the DR yesterday.

Twinkie your looking good! ! Eek!♡

FX for you Jess!

Jess-it does and what i just looked up says doubling time is 96+ hours for hcg over 6000 and your doubling time right now is 134.92 (if I have your dates right, the 30th and today right?), I think that is very good!

Twinkie, yeah this is along the lines of what I thought. Think I've increased by about 30-35% or.something off the top of.my head and that was right along what I thought it should be once over 6000

Plus not like Im just over 6000, at 87000 I'd expect it to take a fair while longer

Annoys me when you speak to a different person at hospital each time and they all say something different

Treated myself to some holiday clothes and marks and spencers food for tea
Home and bath now I think

thanks patience! Docs office just called and sent a scrip for progesterone to the pharmacy already Appointment is Monday! And yes, I keep testing/temping until I get the progesterone, then I'll at least quit temping, testing won't quit til the test is darker than the control line I'm sure

Jess-I really do think with how high your numbers are already that everything is just dandy in there

 

[patienceiav]

Glad things are going smoothly, can't wait til you've missed AF

I'm too scared to go near the natural progesterone i've used before, my specialist said i can send a blood sample any time of the month to test my everything (inc.progesterone levels) how does she know where i am in the cycle ? That's right no idea! Really doesn't sound logical but i'll only hear from her if something is "wrong" so

... just got forced to sit through a 20 second advert on Youtube about Clearblue ov tests oh come on !

Hi ladies, glad to hear everyone seems to be well today and keeping my fingers crossed for you all. I feel like I'm a little behind BUT I'm excited because at CD 23 it appears I may be getting ready to ovulate! Trying to post a pic of my opk but failing lol.

 

[cdex67]

OPK CD 23 first cycle off birth control. Positive? Maybe? Thoughts?

[jessica716]

I'd say so. That was as dark as mine got first cycle and I got a bfp that cycle so I'd say Defo pos

 

[cdex67]

Great, thank you!

 

[patienceiav]

Looks like a perfect positive to me

 

[cdex67]

Yay! Thanks patience!

Best wishes to everyone. I've been a bit stressed this week with the dentist/funeral/etc. but I can finally eat on the right side of my mouth again and everythings better so yay! Pretty sure I did O yesterday (cd15) which is pretty good for being on the pill for over 8 years I think. No way to know for sure tho without opks or temping. So we BD'd the night of cd13 (sun), the sore nips started cd14 (mon) and cervix was wet soft high and open, but sadly couldn't BD that day, woke up with the killer cramps yesterday cd15 cervix was still pretty high and soft, nips very sore, think I had ewcm and at about 2pm I felt this bubble/pop feeling and my cramps eased up a few minutes later (weird). We weren't able to BD until about 1am last night tho. Hopefully we'll BD again tonight just in case. I hope we didn't miss it

 

[mkyerby16]

Forgot to mention one time when I wiped yesterday (sorry tmi) and had what seemed like ewcm I noticed a very slight pink tinge to it. It was just that once though

 

[twinkie2]

mkerby-If you aren't sure because you aren't temping or using OPK's then I'd shoot for tonight just in case, but I'm guess you are covered. We only bd on days 12, 15 and 16 and I ovulated on CD15, so you never know!

and just to put my 2 cents in, cdex, definitely +!

patience-wth! That doesn't make any sense! I'm scratching my head at just sending a sample in at any time....hmmm, does she know something we don't?

 

[patienceiav]

I doubt it Sweden is weird, they don't do bloods to confirm pregnancy, and the specialists are absolutely unwilling to help before 1 year, was just fluke the lady on the phone offered us the visit but the person I visited stopped and stared like I had 2 heads when I said we were on month 11

I've kinda snapped this month, I literally can't take caring about ttc any more i thought I ov the other day but turns out not to be the case, think being seriously down about work atm is affecting my mood

 

[twinkie2]

patience, I'm so sorry, hoping work gets better for you soon! Misery at work makes everything else awful sometimes, not that ttc is fun and stress free. I so hope you can get some answers and help soon!

 

[jessica716]

Patience - awr huni. Chin up, I think most people go through patches where they feel like that about ttc. Hoping you get a bfp soon huni, you deserve it xxx

Twinkie - how are you feelin?

I rang epu back after the wards comments last night about my hcg. The lady in epu said the.Woman on the ward was wrong and should never have said that to me.
Apparently where my levels are they'd expect a week before they'd double and mine would be doubled in 131 hours so I'm fine
Also that once over 6 weeks or 6000hcg that bloods are more hindrance and that it should just be scans as my levels may be peaking soon enough and then still start to drop but that's a good thing meaning placenta would be taking over.

Sorry for waffling, feelin bit less stressed now and lookin forward to scan Monday now.

 

[twinkie2]

No need to apologize Jessica-I think you were very warranted in your worry, I would have been too, but your numbers are crazy high so I think you've got a little burrowed in there nice and happy
I'm feeling fine, I'm having quite a bit of cramping, but I've seen lots of comments that it is pretty normal and since I've had no bleeding, I'm not getting overly concerned about it. Still testing like a crazy a person for progression and all still looks well so I'm happy about that. I've been having hunger pains at odd times of day too, not sure how that could be possible already. I'm not a big snacker, I usually do breakfast lunch dinner and maybe something later after dinner if I'm still hungry, but the last two days in late afternoon my stomach is literally grumbling, seems weird for that to be something already, so not really sure on it, but other than that, I feel pretty good. Super short wave a nausea a couple times now and got dizzy for a moment yesterday but it passed quickly, not much else to report so far I don't think.

 

[jessica716]

That all sounds fab twinkie. I've been like that regarding hunger since getting my bfp, literally hungry within a few hours of a meal. So been Having lots of smaller meals.
I know what you mean about the cramping, I'm still getting it but I've got used to that now.

Let's of stretching pains over my hips going on today!

Little man is napping on sofa, so I'm going to join him as I forgot how tiring the early weeks can be!

 

[twinkie2]

Sounds like a good idea to me!
