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

[patienceiav]

I've had problems on and off, working for a small company sucks lots of arguing back and forth about how long my job should take, I'm packed morning to afternoon yet they say it shouldn't be taking that long :/

Since my foot (which still hurts to walk on but I can mostly go normally, it's just annoying 3.5 weeks later, can't gym either) they've not asked me how I was or thanked me for coming back to work the day after my accident, they got snarky about how it was "strange it still hurt" 1 week after when I got put on a week sick leave and generally haven't given a crap sorry to rain on your parade, I literally have no mojo left to keep on like this stupid job but I'm stuck here while we're ttc

Oh my gosh, they sound so shitty. It's amazing how some people can run a business and it is incredibly obvious that all they care about is making loads of $ and they have no respect for what their employees go through. I had a terrible boss like that and the day I left for good was the best day ever. I was miserable there for 3 years, but until the right opportunity came along I was stuck. It really is awful when someone is trying to tell you that they could do your job better when in reality, they probably wouldn't actually be able to perform all your duties because they don't realize what it all really entails. I am so sorry you are dealing with this right now and I'm also very sorry that your foot is still hurting (and why wouldn't it still hurt after only one week later, what kind of a moron would think that it would be healed in that amount of time? I would have taken a whole week off likely!) I broke my toe once and it took months for it to be completely better!

Sorry to hear things are a little rough for you patience, I know it's easier said than done but keep your chin up lady.

Jessica, glad to hear things are where they should be.

Twinkie, glad things are still looking good for you too

Negative opk for me today after yesterday's positive, watery cm but no sign of ewcm so not sure what that means but hoping it's ok anyway. BD'd last night and will again for at least the next day or two (and after that for fun )

 

[patienceiav]

Normally you ov the day after your first positive so doesn't matter when it goes neg you'll notice a very dramatic change in your cm the day after you ovulate, it'll be thick and sticky so you should be able up know if you've ov:ed!

 

[patienceiav]

I'm zonked at home with my feet up now, so glad tomorrow is Friday!

 

[cdex67]

Oh good to know patience, thank you. I'm thinking if this month is a flop, I will start temping next cycle I like knowing what my body is doing when. Today is technically my Friday (independence Day tomorrow). Just 3 more hours of work

 

[patienceiav]

Funny day today, I only got the +opk yesterday but today I got the temp spike and my cm has thickened up, wonder if i even have a shot if i bd tonight!

 

[cdex67]

Well it looks like I'm about 2dpo now, if I even ov'd. No ewcm but very watery for a couple days and back to milky/creamy yesterday and today. I don't have high hopes for this cycle but that was to be expected first cycle anyway. Who knows, we shall see

 

[mkyerby16]

Hope everyone is doing well. I *think* I'm 4dpo. I've had AF cramps for a couple of days so who knows. Planning on testing on the 13th (12 dpo I assume) so DH can be there.

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

How are you doing Twinkie!??

Cdex, the first few cycles off BCP i didn't have and EWCM. It was mostly watery. But that doesn't mean you wont get a BFP

MKY- How are you feeling other than the cramping?

How are you doing Patience? I hope you're feeling a little better. Having a crappy job really sucks. I am lucky that I just found a new one with amazing people! I really hope you do too!!

 

[mkyerby16]

I'm ok. Trying to keep the balance between remaining hopeful but realistic at the same time. The sore nips are gone today so maybe that's something my body's going to do around O. My stomach has been upset today. Not to give tmi but I can't really tell if my cramps are GI or reproductive related. I often get diahrrea from AF cramps anyway so who knows but I hope I'm not getting AF this early.

 

[jessica716]

Cdex - I've never experienced EWCM so I wouldn't worry about that bit too much

Mky - fx for you that not af

Patience - hope you managed to get some bd in

Twinkie - hows that little bean doing? You feeling OK?

Am I swapped from pregnacare to just plain folic acid and feeling miles better it's.got rid of the all day nausea I was.having. Just to check I went Bk onto pregnacare for a day and started having stomach pains and feeling sick again so Defo that.
So past 3 days I've felt well and eaten like a horse, bought some new drawers for our bedroom and put a new bed up in loft room for my little boy for once baby goes into own room
Been lookin at prams too, trying to see which I like and then will wait til Jan sales
sales
Scan day tomorrow again
Hoping little bean is ok

 

[mkyerby16]

Glad you're feeling better! I was worried about prenatals making me sick as previously multivitamins had. Luckily I started on Rainbow Light Just Once back in April and they have been awesome for me. They have ginger and probiotics to help your tummy. Not sure if you can get them where you're at though.

 

[patienceiav]

Not sure what my body is up to thought I was 3dpo today then my temp dropped again, cm is creamy which I get a lot but it's more of a pre-ov thing, cp is med & hard/closed though, maybe this mornings temp was just a fluke cold night either that or this work stuff is rerouting my hormones

Sent a long upset email to my bosses after I had a mini melt down on Friday, we'll see how/if they respond

 

[jessica716]

Yeah I know what you mean
When I found out I was pregnant I started taking the.pregnacare ones. As Oh was only home one weekend on my first cycle and hadn't had a pos opk I hadn't started them as was planning on starting them later that month (thinking it would take a while to get preg) which backfired

And they made me so ill I stopped taking them for a week or so when I found out as I was bringing them back up. Tried them again last week and same happened so I changes to some boots folic and vitamin d ones which I'm fine on


Hoping won't have caused any problems due to not keeping them down as I guess it's like not them in a way as my body wasn't absorbing them :/
them

 

[patienceiav]

Now my cm is pink I thought it was off yesterday but put it down to bd juices, guess the chemical fucked this cycle badly

 

[jessica716]

Oh no thats rubbish. Hope it sorts itself out ASAP for you xx

 

[patienceiav]

Thanks cm is back to normal now, even acting like post ov cm I'd say, let's just hope it was ov spotting despite the fact I should be 3dpo today, just feel super nauseus I'll try not to read too much into it, maybe I've miscalculated my ov or something

 

[mkyerby16]

FX'd patience! Don't give up hope just yet!

 

[twinkie2]

patience, I"m sorry, I hope it gets sorted out for you soon, maybe today is ovulation with your temp dip??? Not sure, sorry your cycle is wonky though, mine were messed up immediately following chemical too

Jessica-so excited about a scan tomorrow!!

For those asking, I'm doing well. Feeling pretty good and normal. Symptoms right now are sore breasts (they are already way bigger), unfortunately a little constipated and some tiredness, but I think that is just because we've been super busy the past few days!

I've got my fingers crossed to be seeing exciting news from all of you very soon
