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

[twinkie2]

I definitely see shadows on the orig and the invert!! My tests were always better with a good afternoon hold, fmu was horrid for me until I was nearly a week late. Everything crossed for you!!!

I don't see anything on the frer, but that doesn't mean anything. Can't wait to see how it progresses, good luck!

Thanks ladies. How long would you recommend holding for?

 

[Turtle0630]

I think most things I've read have said to hold for 4 hours (some sites say 3-4 is fine), and to try not to drink anything for about 2 hours prior to going (so as not to dilute it).

 

[cdex67]

Thanks for all your help ladies. Negative just now after 5 hour hold. Id like to wait until Monday to test again but we'll see.

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Cdex I definitely see a line in the first one! I would wait a few days (like you said) to do another one. I have everything crossed for you! !

 

[Mintastic]

Cdex. Yes, wait until Sunday or Monday if you can. Good luck!!

Oh, and me - I had an early scan today!
It is in my journal:

I haven't moved to a pregnancy journal yet because I am scared.

 

[cdex67]

Omg I totally hijacked the thread. I am so sorry!
Mint! I read your posts in your journal, and I'm so excited for you! Can't wait to see how the next scan goes

Congratulations mint, bet that first scan was amazing!

So after having a 90+ cycle with cramping and nothing to show for the cramping... I started drinking fertilitea on Monday and today when I took my OPK I got a positive LH surge! Like a nice dark line as a test line this is the first time since coming off bcp that I have been ovulating.

 

[Mintastic]

Awesome Minnie! Get to it!

 

[cdex67]

Well I'm thinking it was a faulty test or something... all still negative. But I had a big temp rise this morning and ff gave me dotted crosshairs on the 9th. I think I may have actually ovulated the 10th or 11th based on the signs but we will see if ff changes it. Good signs at least

 

[Mintastic]

Aw sorry about the bad test cdex but that is great about crosshairs!!

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

That's great minnie!

Sorry cdex! So much excitement then disappointment. still keeping everything crossed for you just in case!

Afm I'm on CD 18 and lots of pinching feelings. I was nauseous most of yesterday but that could be from anything, I'm thinking it's O related though. I bought some more opks just because I was curious.... almost positive yesterday and definitely positive today. Getting really excited!!! Making DH's favorite dinner tonight to help set the mood

I think my body keeps trying to ovulate, but fails each time. Boo. Really hoping it actually does it this time! Fingers crossed my temp goes up again tomorrow! Tmi, had a lot of ewcm yesterday so I'm really hopeful! The most I've had this cycle so far! I have everything crossed! Still waiting on my blood test results for coeliac, they'll be back next week

 

[cdex67]

Charmed, I've been going through the same thing. I believe my last cycle, which lasts 67 days, was annovulatory. Obviously if I did ovulate it was very late. My body definitely has been trying over and over this cycle but I think it finally has. Don't give up hope!

Thanks ladies, I'm really not too disappointed by the whole thing. I think the fact that I got some sort of crosshairs, despite being dotted, helps a lot. I still have a lot of hope for this cycle. If the crosshairs are correct or close, BD was perfect timing

 

[Mintastic]

My crosshairs this past cycle were dotted - obviously I ovulated!

 

[DannaD]

Hi girls, can I join? I'm on first cycle post BCP and so scarred AF will not show because I almost never had withdrawal bleed on the pill :s
(I'm WTT until I get 1 or 2 cycle)

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Welcome Danna!
