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

[Charmed86]

I promise I will post properly later, I'm on my phone atm, about to go Drs again. My temp went up dramatically this morning! I'm tempted to ignore yesterday's temp as I was so tired, I got almost no sleep! My temp was all over the place. Every time I woke up, I took it, God only knows why! I think that's why it was so low anyway! Still got my head cold. Boo. Feel like I've swallowed a razor! So happy my temp has gone up, I couldn't believe it when I saw it! Had to check twice! Hopefully that means I definitely ovulated again! I'm so surprised, I wasn't expecting to ovulate at all after stopping bcp. So hopeful that we caught that little eggy. Hope everyone else is ok, I will definitely catch up & post when I get back! xxx

Two more weeks till AF is scheduled to visit...course that's the schedule when I was in BCP....first time off....who knows. Torture not knowing what's going to happen with my cycle. Trying to get a feeling for all things cycle related early on....despite what the transition from BCP will do. Just to be patient!

 

[cdex67]

Thanks Charlie, that really helps ♡
Charmed that temp looks great!!

Elizabeth, it is soooo hard to be patient! My first cycle was 67 days!

AFM- Could have sworn when I woke up that AF was coming. Cramps and a horrible headache but my temp went up, yay!! I've got the head cold too yuck.

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Cdex....I can't wait 67 days!!! Ill go mad! Lol. Guess that will give me plenty of time to figure out CM.

 

[Charmed86]

Oh Cdex, I'm sorry you've been hit with the dreaded head cold too! Hope it passes soon for you. Your temps are looking fantastic! That's so sweet about your dream, I've had a few with my Grandad in after he passed. My most recent one was earlier this year, he didn't say anything, just hugged me it was really nice.

Me Elizabeth, if it helps, my first cycle was a good 30days & with ovulation as well Totally unexpected as the last time I stopped BCP, I had nothing for 8 months! :O FX for you. I found checking my temps and using OPKs have helped with the anxiety a little, but still, I've had to wait until CD24 for O this cycle!

Annnd me.. nothing really new since this morning. My coeliac test came back negative (phew!) My GP thinks my problems are down to IBS, I've had the diagnosis for around a decade now.. but for some reason, trying to lose weight and stopping BCP has triggered it Hopefully it gets better soon! There's no quick fix though. I'm so tired and my throat is sore. Vets in a bit with my dog, he has a lump on his eyelid that I want checking. I've posted on the TTC board about cycling while pregnant, if anyone gets a chance, I'd love some opinions on that. xxx

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Charmed....im doing the temps....trying to do CM.....just trying to get it right. Lol. Haven't tried opk....didn't want to overload my brain trying to interpret stuff...but if I can't figure out CM...I might. Temps.....only been a few days for me charting....but fingers crossed. Thx! Hoping I get in a schedule.....whatever it may be

 

[Charmed86]

OPKs can be brilliant, or they can be a headache! I don't rely on them too heavily as taken them even an hr too late can give a negative even if you are ovulating! CM can be tricky, I find it a bit confusing too. It's only your first cycle though so a good chance for you to get to know what you're doing FX it's not too long a cycle for you! xx

 

[Turtle0630]

Charmed, that's great news! Yay!

Ms Elizabeth, I was lucky too and my cycles have been much shorter than Cdex's dreaded 67 days since coming off the pill! My first was 27, then 23, then 25. So I think I'm either just either irregular (which I used to be back in the day and could be the case) or my body is still trying to adjust itself. Either way, there's hope for you that it won't be that long!

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Charmed....thanks! Im just noting what I can going it hope it doesn't throw off the data....whats ewcm one moment....turns to water the next hour....then back.....come on....be simple im new at this! Darn body!!

Turtle....I'm hoping to be simple...but good to know if im 67 days not to freak. Ill just annoy you guys with my ridiculous issues. Hehe.

Its been a few days for me....thanks for dealing with me!! Coming off bcp was a big deal since im so late in the game here!

I'm already past one month of BC nd nothing yet, this is driving me mad, 67 days? 8months? I'm gonna cry! Haha -.-
At least I have a doctors appointment on october 2nd so I can talk it through then... Of course she'll just say to be patient but she is good at getting my anxiety down in general.

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Well ladies! I'm not positive how many DPO I am because I still got Pos OPK tests though Tuesday, Wednesday was a little lighter and I didn't take one Thursday or today.

I'm on CD 23 though and feeling some slight achy cramping on occasion and my nipples are definitely sensitive to the touch. I have a lot of watery CM but I'm not sure I can go off of CM for anything since Clomid tends to effect CM, according to what Ive read, I'm lucky I have any lol. I'm going to try to wait until the 29th to test, which would be CD 33 and if I Ovulated then I would be late. I should get my blood results back on Tuesday the 23rd.

 

[Charmed86]

Aw, how frustrating Charlie! FX for you! Could just be that clomid is messing with the OPKs? xx

My temp dipped this am.. praying it doesn't mean anything, I'm only 5dpo! My LP was only 9 days last cycle Hopefully it'll go back up or level out tomorrow. All of my temps have been a bit rocky this cycle!

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Why am i so excited my chart said i am now DPO? Lol

My first crosshairs.

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Charmed....hang in there!!

Crazy....fingers crossed for you

 

[cdex67]

Charmed, fx'd it comes back up!

Elizabeth, yay!!!

 

[patienceiav]

Back to the land of Internet!

Looks like we've got plenty of 2ww'ers now fingers crossed for some action soon!

Had a lovely time in UK, was really tough to come back that and I have still felt partly preggers since af, can't figure out why, tested both opk and frer today cd11, opk was almost pos and frer just laughed at me for trying I wish I'd feel normal then! Ah well maybe specialist will help me figure it out 29th, unlikely!

 

[DannaD]

Hey girls were any of you on Alesse before? Just curious to compare comming off the same pill brand :/

 

[cdex67]

I was on ortho tri cyclen lo.

Woke up this morning with AF cramps and my pelvis area is super achy. Ive felt this before but not like this. Temp still up, yay! Tested fmu with frer and swore I saw something so I tweaked it and saw SOMETHING but I think it's evap or indent. Still only 9dpo though.

 

[cdex67]

Oh and my boobs HURT. They seem fuller but not really bigger i guess.
Welcome back Patience, really hope you feel better soon.

 

[Charmed86]

I've started spotting :'( I'm only 5dpo!! Devastated.
