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

[cdex67]

FF took my solid crosshairs away and gave me dotted ones. Anybody know why?

 

[cdex67]

Ahh figured it out. Fertile cm after O causes dotted crosshairs.

 

[Charmed86]

Lol, asked & answers cdex! FF can be so fickle! I took out my first +opk & FF took my crosshairs away! Meanie.

I think I am 2dpo (depending on temp tomorrow). Either 2 or 4dpo! I'm thinking 2.. I thought 2 as soon as I saw that +opk! FF agrees as it's taken away my crosshairs for CD22. Really hoping for a longer LF this cycle, last time it was around 9 days! My temp started dipping so early on.

Hubby told me yest that he is getting impatient and doesn't believe I am ovulating because I didn't get pregnant last month. It's so frustrating, I know he just wants a baby, but he doesn't realise it will take time. And even with perfectly timed intercourse, it's still no guaranteed that I'll get pregnant right away! Sometimes I think what I tell him goes in one ear & out the other, which makes it annoying for me having to go over things with him! Rawr. That said, it's nice to know that he wants this too & his impatience is sweet really.

I've woken up with an awful head cold. Ugh.

Aww charmed, fx'd for you that you did O! My DH really wants nothing to do with it. He says talking about it makes it hard to perform. Every now and then though, he touches my tummy and says "is there a baby in there yet?" I don't think he even knows I'm temping as he is usually still sleeping when I do.

Not sure what's up with me atm. I had a temp drop yesterday and today. I know it doesn't mean anything really but I'm just really hoping it doesn't mean a short LP. I don't like the looks of it though...hoping it goes back up tomorrow. I had a sore throat yesterday but it appears to be gone today so don't know what that's about. Other than that, still just really sensitive nipples and semi tender right breast. Cervix is high, firm, and closed up tight which also doesn't tell me anything. My charts in my sig if anyone wants to have a look.

How's everybody else?

I finaly received my opks test by mail! 60+30 pregnancy tests. I just tried one of each just to get the how it works, and of course both are negatives, but I'm still shaking form the stress! Who knew peeing in a cup could stress me so much, that's going to be a fun ride... xD

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Nice...I'm thinking i need that. Anything to help read my silly chart.

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Welcome new ladies!

Cdex I'm still keeping everything crossed for you!

Turtle how are you doing?

AFm: had my blood drawn today (CD21) to check for O. Nurse said that it should be fine if I O'd this past weekend. Looking forward to seeing the results. I think I might have actually O'd this time! Catching the egg on the other hand I'm not positive about. Our BDing was not as often as I would have lliked. But who knows!

 

[cdex67]

Thanks Charlie! I really really hope you o'd. Fx'd nice and tight for you!!

I've had some weird stuff today but who knows...super sharp pains in my pelvic area and like...inside my vagina. Very painful. A little cramping here and there and I can't stop peeing tonight. I hope that doesn't keep me up. Oh also...tmi...tons of lotion cm. Like a lot lol

 

[DannaD]

That sound promising Cdex!

Ms Elizabeth, my chart so far isn't making any sense either, hopefully next cycle temping+cm+opks will clarify all that xD

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Thanks cdex! Interesting about the pains! Hopefully its implantation! !

 

[jessica716]

Cdex that sounds really promising.
I had sharp stabby pains and ovary pains and lots of cm at about 9dpo... So fingers crossed for you

 

[cdex67]

Thanks Jessica, I hope so. I woke up this morning feeling almost hungover. I didn't drink, of course. I also think I may have a cold coming on, headache and stuffy nose. The weirdest thing is that it seriously feels like someone punched me in the uterus. Like right in my lower pelvic area it's super sore. It's subsided a little since I got up but super weird still. I know that one definitely isn't in my head...

 

[cdex67]

Oh and temp went back up this morning.

 

[Turtle0630]

Charmed, that's hard. I'm sorry for both of you that he's feeling so impatient and down about the whole process. But I do agree that it's sweet that he cares so much! I hope you start feeling better from your cold soon! I've been battling one myself for a week now and it's been miserable.

Danna, yay for receiving the opk's and hpt's! Wahoo! I know it's probably pretty silly but I got pretty excited when mine arrived.

Charlie, that's great that you were still able to do your blood work on cd21 even though you O'd later than expected! I was worried they would push it back on you. So how long before you get your results back? I have everything crossed for you!

Cdex, that's all sounding promising! Good luck, I can't wait until it's time for you to test! I have everything crossed for you as well.

I'm doing ok, thanks for asking! AF arrived last Friday so boo to that. But it was a pretty short cycle so that's good, and I got up to a 12 day lp last cycle so that's great! So I'm now on cd7 and will probably start using opk's in a few days. I've had a terrible cold so between sleeping horribly and not feeling well, I've only been temping here and there so I'm sure my chart will be rubbish this cycle. I figured it didn't matter too much at the beginning anyways, and I'm hoping to get back into the swing of it now.

 

[cdex67]

Thanks turtle, I'm getting super anxious to test but I know it's too early...

I actually am feeling pretty down today. Im in a "there's no way it happened" kind of slump and just overall not feeling good. When I get sick I get a red mark in between my eyes and it's there so apparently coming down with something.

I wanted to run something by you ladies and see what your thoughts are. It may not be ttc related but I have to tell someone. 3 nights ago, 4dpo, I had a dream. My grandmother died last year. She had been on oxygen 24/7 for almost 21 years and i had never seen her without it. She also slumped kind of hunchbackish in the last few years. She was very overweight and he stomach protruded almost like she was pregnant but larger. in this dream I was outside her apartment and swore to my friend she was in there. They thought I was crazy but we went inside. When we went in she walked out of the bedroom. She wasn't wearing oxygen, stood straight and much taller and had no gray hair, it was all brown and her belly was smaller but definitely there. Theres no question it was her. She walked out, across the living room and sat down. She never said a word, and neither did I. It was like I wasn't even there. That was all it was. It didn't really faze me the first day but today I just can't get it out of my head. I wish she had said something, anything. I can't hear her voice anymore. She helped raise me and I miss her so much. I haven't told my mom yet...I'm sorry it's just really getting to me today.

 

[cdex67]

Quiet in here today...everybody ok?

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

I'm here...just staring at my chart.

 

[DannaD]

Just waiting for AF -.- everytime I get a cramp I am sure it is it...

 

[cdex67]

I do that...A LOT.

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Cdex, *hugs* I have dreams about my Granddaddy like that too. When he wasn't fighting RA and he wasnt on a ton of medications. He passed away August 1, 2011. I still get tears and choked up when I think about him. he never says anything in my dreams, but smiles and I get a feeling of warmth and love. I know he is watching over me and the rest of my family. The dreams are less frequent now, I went back home (FL, I live in CO now) in December of 2013 to visit his grave. I got A LOT of closure after that very short visit. I feel I see him less often now because he knows that I am ok now. But when I get super stressed or really sad, he comes back in my dreams to make me feel ok again. So long story short, maybe she came to see you in your dreams to show you that she is ok and that she is happy and not suffering anymore.
