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

[cdex67]

Welcome Danna, try not to worry too much. Your withdrawal bleeds really mean nothing as bc prevents you from ovulating. A lot of women have no withdrawal bleeds at all. If you have any questions feel free to ask. The ladies here are incredibly helpful

AFM: Solid crosshairs this morning on the 11th, CD28, which makes me 4dpo BD wasn't quite perfect but still possible as it was 2 days before and 4 days before so still keeping my fingers crossed. The good part is I know it's pretty accurate as the night before that I had some major tightness in my abdomen and since then I've had tender breasts and super sensitive nipples. Yay for the tww

Happy tww cdex! And Danna, I have actually not heard of not getting wb before but cdex is right, it shouldn't be related to getting your real period. Good luck!

 

[Turtle0630]

Welcome, Danna, and good luck! I also haven't heard of not getting wb on the pill but I'm sure these other lovely ladies are right that it shouldn't affect anything now! Glad to have you aboard.

Cdex, that's great on getting your crosshairs and finally being sure that you O'd! Wahoo! Happy tww!

Charlie, yay for you hitting your peak time as well! So are you able to push out your blood work by a few days since it appears you're ovulating later than expected?

Charmed, so sorry that your body keeps gearing up and then not following through. I hope it manages to get its act in gear soon!

 

[Charmed86]

Welcome Danna Are you temping or using opks at all? I'm sure you'll be ok,even if you've not had a wb on bcp, your body & hormones will be different once stopping

Omg. It's frustrating isn't it cdex? Congrats on your crosshairs tho! Fx for your tww.

Good luck Charlie!

I got a positive opk this afternoon! Hoping my body is gearing up for another go at o. We BDd the day before yesterday so hoping to try later. OH isn't feeling it so fingers crossed I can tempt him. Haha. My temps have gone up a bit too so hopefully they're a bit more 'normal' now! I was wondering if I'd Od a couple of days ago with the ewcm, but maybe not. I wouldn't get a +opk afterwards, would I? Guess I need to wait & see what my temps do now!

 

[DannaD]

Thank you girls! I feel better just hearing that.

The no WB always worried me but my doctor said it wasn't a big deal and I decided to trust her on that (it's stressful to not be bleeding though!

Charmed, yes I temp and plan on doing opks when I finally receive my order! My temp is all over the place so far, but I blame the stopping the pill + changing thermometer + trying different wake up time. Hopefully when I get my AF I'll start doing it right

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Hi everyone. I just stopped my BCP 7 days ago. I have been on OrthoCyclen for about 20 years. So nervous to go thru my first month with the anticipation! Hoping AF comes when she is supposed to! Being 36, I don't want to waste much time getting my cycle in order!

Wishing everyone a positive result soon!

 

[Mintastic]

Hi Elizabeth! I certainly hope your cycle sorts itself out quickly!
Don't get yourself too down if it doesn't though. It can take a while and especially since you have been on for so long, who knows what to expect?
Are you going to temp/use OPKs/chart cm or anything?

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Hi! I'm staying positive, but keeping "reality" in the back of my mind!

I'm doing temp...and trying to figure out CM

Since it's only been a few days....lol...i dont have much data. But hey, why not try anyway!

 

[DannaD]

Hi Ms Elizabeth!
I also stopped recently the pill after many years of taking it
Figuring CM is though, I still can't believe I'm giving so much attention to the goo in my underwear

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Hi Ms Elizabeth!

Hahaha right! And doing the stretch test with it makes me feel even more silly, the good kind of silly of course xD

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

So true! This morning i stretched for like two inches! Then realized...dont get too excited, you literally just came off the pill! But at least i know what stretching is like!

 

[Charmed86]

I got dotted crosshairs! Very surprised at that! CD22.. I hope it's not too late. It looks like we timed BD well, but both times in the evening, I hope we didn't miss the little egg Cant explain my +opk yesterday tho, so confused!

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Fingers and toes crossed for you!

 

[DannaD]

Much luck to you Charmed!

 

[jessica716]

Welcome to the newcomers!

Feel like I've missed loads! Will try and catch up this week I promise.

Heads a bit all over the place, applied for a mortgage Friday and.stressing about that and OH has been offered more work but all working away and was hoping that had come to an end. But needs must, although my hormones don't understand that!

On a more positive note, OH felt charlie wiggling on Sunday for the first time.

Sending lots of baby dust to you all for now until I've caught up xx

 

[Turtle0630]

Welcome, Ms Elizabeth! Happy to have you, and good luck!

Charmed, that's great about the dotted crosshairs! Although the + opk yesterday does seem really weird if you O'd on Saturday. I'm still really knew to temping and charting so I'm definitely not an expert but with that and looking at your chart, I'm wondering if you didn't O yesterday instead and you're now 1dpo. Hmmm.... Weird!

Jessica, sorry about your OH having to travel so much for work! I hope that can end soon. That's great that he got to feel Charlie moving around for the first time though! Good luck on the mortgage/house buying stuff as well, how exciting!!!

 

[Charmed86]

Turtle, I took out the first +opk at the middle of the cycle (as I didn't o) & it took my crosshairs away! I entered some fake temps to see what it would do if it kept going up & it put solid crosshairs on yesterday! So fingers crossed that's the case! I'm so excited for the next few temps to see what they show! I do think that I might have od yesterday.. Just have to wait & see. Boo.

Aw, that's such a shame about your OH having to work away, Jessica So excited that you felt Charlie move though! xx

 

[mkyerby16]

Lots of dust & well wishes ladies! Cdex that test makes ME mad. Such a mean test, maybe its a sign good things will happen soon for you though. Fx'd!

Jessica- sorry about all the stress, hormones definitely don't help. How exciting about the movement! I can't wait to feel my little one move!

 

[jessica716]

Mkyerby - I've been feeling odd bits of movements for a few weeks but they're.only just turning into definite ones. Nothing like my little boy I could feel him from 14 weeks and was no mistaking him, although I think my placenta is at the front this time which may be why it's different

Thanks ladies, yeah he works all over the country and used to be away a few weeks at a time, there's just not enough decent local work which sucks as just want him home now. Least he's only away a week at a time now
