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

[patienceiav]

I normally don't get symptoms properly till about 1 week after ov, then kicks in the nausea, tiredness, sore boobs and overheating gets very tiring feeling pregnant for 1-2 weeks per month! Mother nature can go suck it.

I've decided to hop on the progesterone cream again and hope it can make a difference, I still get crosshairs if the next 2 days are high so I should be 5dpo today despite my temps being awful as long as I don't get AF it shouldn't affect the eggy if it's still going in there,

(little tmi) I've only had 2 instances of "spotting" being tinted cm, pink at 2dpo and brown(more beige) at 5dpo, not got any more after this morning so hopefully jumping on the cream tonight can help much my progesterone into gear!

Screw it I manual overrode ff if i put 2 more temps it gives me the info I manually changed to, can't take seeing no ov on there even if I know it happened! Looks much better

5 dpo and feeling really crappy today. Doubtful that it's pregnancy related, I still think this cycle is out...but I'm nauseous, hot flashes, and SUPER moody. My back is killing me but i played 2 softball games last night so i think its from that. Ugh.

Patience I hope the progesterone cream helps!! Fx'd!!

The TWW insanity continues for me. Trying so hard not to read too much into anything as most of what I'm feelin is probably from coming off the pill. Yesterday (6dpo I believe) I woke up feeling nauseous and very sensitive to smells. I know it was too early but my DH's face when I complained about certain smells was pretty funny. Later that evening my cramps came back for a few hours and then I suddenly felt this sharp pinching pain that lasted for about 30 seconds before everything went away. However, (sorry tmi) I was pretty gassy yesterday soo it was probably just a gas pain! Sore nips that started the day before I think I O'd also came back yesterday, but not as bad. Then last night I woke up to pee (drank a big glass of water before going to bed so that was fairly normal) but after that I couldn't go back to sleep for 2 hours and I was soo hungry for some reason. Today at 7dpo feeling pretty normal so far. Hope everyone else is hanging in there (and not as crazy as me!)

Anyone ever hear that a lot of creamy yellow cm is a sign? Haha felt very...wet... down there (sorry tmi!) and have tons of thick creamy slightly yellow cm. Of course since I don't know how my cycles are going to go, so that could be normal for me, just something else to obsess about!

Lol. That a girl patience!

I'm on CD 10 right now. I kinda feel like I'm starting all over again since I have no idea what my cycle is going to do this time around. It's kinda weird. I have dates that I'm guessing I should ovulate depending on long my cycle decides to be. Still waiting to hear about my blood test results from last week. I should be hearing back today at some point. Not much else to report so far. I'm feeling a bit impatient. But I think that's because I have no idea what to expect lol.

 

[patienceiav]

I normally get an increase in creamy cm just before af, the two cycles I got a bfp I had watery/ewcm when I was going to test so it's my sign to look out for, every one is different though

Glad to hear things are going well so far Charlie! Hope this reboot helps your body to get back its rhythm let us know your results!

I've jumped on the progesterone cream again, it hasn't helped my lp in the past but is the only proactive thing I can do right now to try to stop my body kicking af in with this lack of progesterone I seem to be having am cramping but no more spotting, paws crossed

 

[DentDoc16]

So I am on cd17 and started to get sore nipples. I have no idea when I may have ovulated - so I was wondering when does everyone tend to get sore boobs during their cycles? Before, during, or after ovulation? Or just around your period?

 

[patienceiav]

I normally get them around ovulation, sometimes they stay all through 2ww sometimes they go away till around 7dpo

This mornings temp makes me happy! Progesterone caused or not hopefully that's it for my need to worry about spotting!

Actually I don't want to unnecessarily get your hopes up but I have read on other boards that that can be a preg sign. Of course so many things that can be preg signs can also be PMS signs or coming off BC signs too...

This is all sounding very promising!! FX for you



I'm now on 8dpo...
and this morning I had probably my strangest symptom...I was having very vivid dreams (normal for me) but they kept chopping and changing constantly. I suddenly woke up completely alert at about 4am. I had the most insane craving for chocolate, it was all I could think about, and then my stomach started to churn and I just lay there trying not to vomit. I eventually went back to sleep but it was very fitful


Besides that, nothing else really to report, my boobs are a little tender but that happened last cycle...Oh another weird thing, TMI-warning..my clitoris is really swollen!! I have no idea why, it's never happened to me before, I'm doubting its a symptom, I'm just scratching my head as to why! Has anyone else had this? It was a massive pain while I was trying to work out today almost had a happy ending at the gym!!


Hope you ladies are all well.....4 days until POAS!!!

Hahaha Lola I love you I just about died lol'ing. maybe its a good sign... increased blood flow? Lol

Well its 1am here so I guess I'm technically 9dpo now but at 8dpo wasn't feelin too much and just felt like I was out. Then in the evening I all of a sudden got nauseous...probably the only time I will ever think to myself "yayy I'm nauseous" Then I became and still am soo gassy. Ugh my legs ache too. Probably AF on her way but I'm remaining cautiously hopeful. Definitely testing Friday just to see. Oh well really not feeling well, gonna try to sleep.

 

[patienceiav]

Lola, not had this one before

You never know what 2ww symptom is different for you at the moment at least, us oldies have many months of comparing symptoms so it becomes much easier to spot things that "stand out" takes a few months that hopefully you two won't have anyway

Things are going alright here, 7dpo and FF FINALLY gave me official crosshairs ! :/ glad i'm taking the progesterone now i think that's about the only thing that kicked my body out of its laziness. Before my crosshairs i was feeling nauseus but i think that was down to crazy hormones since i was spotting, now the sore boobs have kicked in hurray and i felt i couldn't lay on my belly this morning cuz it was too uncomfortable? This 2ww has been bizarre, haven't even got to enjoy it till now cuz it was so uncertain ! I'll be testing monday 14th at 11dpo (if i make it that far) as I have an 11day LP, plus it's hubbys birthday

How are you doing Twinkie and Jess ?

hehehe I hope its a good sign! I know the feeling of 'yay I feel nauseous'...I was thinking that earlier today!

Exactly patience!! I know I had sore boobs and nausea last time so I'm not paying too much attention to it, although my body could still be readjusting from the pill so my next cycle may be different still! I'm glad you got crosshairs!! I'm testing on the 14th too, FX for us that it all works out! The uncomfortable feeling in your stomach sounds promising....Hope you can give hubby a BFP for his bday!!!

 

[patienceiav]

Every month i found something new to hope about this 2ww has been nuts I can't believe af is due in 5 days!

Now my stomach is uncomfortable for different reasons, namely too much chocolate I have a gym class in 1.5 hours I hope I feel better then, it'll be the first one since hurting my foot so I'm a little nervous!

Good morning ladies. I'm 7 or 8dpo today, not sure. I noticed last night when I went to the bathroom, when I wiped there was a LOT of yellowish discharge. I know Its not a yeast infection or anything, no itching and no odor aside from the norm, and it happened again this morning. Anybody else have this? Also I'm EXHAUSTED. I have fibromyalgia so being tired is nothing new but this is awful.

 

[patienceiav]

Ah that must be tough i get a little tired but one of my chemical pregnancy months I couldn't keep myself awake, was so tired!

Cm wise anything goes for me, but I tend to get a lot of cm right before af. The two cp cycles I had fertile cm when I got the bfp so if that happens to me I know it's a great possibility

 

[cdex67]

Yeah, mines usually never yellow but there's no other issues or changes with it so I'm not worried. What's been kind of annoying is that all I want to do is sleep all day I have all I can do to stay awake and then at night I cant sleep!

 

[DentDoc16]

Lola- I love your story/latest symptom!

 

[mkyerby16]

Well I just woke up to realize I had fallen asleep on the sofa and napped for a couple of hours. Feelin better now though, I was a bit nauseous.
