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

[DannaD]

So sorry Charmed, maybe your O date was off?
Have you tried rasberry leaves tea? It has a lot of good fertility proprieties, lenghtening lutheal phase being one of them. And It tastes great

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Cdex keeping you in my thoughts!

Patience you too! I hope the dr is able to help. And I hope you get your sticky bean. You deserve it! ♡

Charmed maybe isn't not AF?

Afm: opks are definitely negative now. I'm guessing I'm about 6dpo. IF I ovulated. I'm praying I did. My nipples are still sore but that could just be from O and I've got some odd cramps but they aren't really cramps. It's really hard to explain. They aren't often or anything just like pressure I guess? I dunno.

Still have tons of cm running out of me it's kinda ridiculous lol. I feel like I'm leaking!

Trying to not think about it too much because I'm so tired of being disappointed but I'm also praying that we caught my eggie. I just want a baby! Lol of course we all do!

How is everyone else?

Fx'd that you ladies caught your little eggies!! A word about cramps.... the day I got my bfp I woke up with pretty bad cramps that felt just like AF was on the way. I wasn't going to test but decided what the heck let's waste a test and bam! I continued cramping off and on for a couple of weeks. Guess it was just my uterus stretching and prepping to make room! So you never know! Good luck!!

 

[Charmed86]

Thanks all No sign of AF this morning, I really hope it wasn't AF. Still feeling ill today, been 4 days now. I can't tell whether I Od on Saturday or Monday! I had a fleeting thought that the bleeding might have been IB, but isn't 5dpo too early for that? I still feel like AF is imminent.

I think it's possible. It's not like it was 2dpo and I've heard 6-10 is normal so 5 shouldn't be out of the question. Fx'd!!

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

So annoyed my o date changed this morning. I took my temp an hour early....but still

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Charmed...positive thinking.....happy thoughts headed your way!!!!

 

[cdex67]

Good morning ladies.
Charmed that's great that the spotting stopped, fx'd for you!

Charlie, sounds good! Fx'd for you too!!

AFM- AF cramps again when I woke up. Seems to be everyday but very little throughout the day. Boobs a little less sore this morning. But...my temps hit 98 for the first time! I'm a little skeptical about my thermometer though...the first time I took my temp this morning it was low. Still above coverline but I slept with my mouth open most of the night so I closed my mouth for a minute and tried again. This time it beeped at 97.56 which it does EVERY morning. It hadn't stopped going up though so I tried one more time. 98.07. In the entire time I didn't move or do anything that might make it go up that much. When I got up for good just to experiment I took my temp with my bbt and it stopped at 97.56. I took it with a regular thermometer and it was 98.4. So I'm hoping the 3rd temp was the most accurate and that's what I went with. If that's the case it may be the start of a triphasic chart. Not getting too hopeful though.

 

[DannaD]

Ah FF took out my crosshairs today after I entered a temp below coverline, I'm so sad
I was at 13dpo today, could it be an AF dip? Or it's too early? Wouldn't go below coverline? It's confusing...

 

[cdex67]

Great question danna, I honestly don't know.

 

[patienceiav]

Elizabeth, your temp goes up on average 0.10 of a degree (Celsius) per hour of sleep, so you can generally expect a lower temp if you took it an hour early hope that helps!

Cdex your temp today is great! cramps don't mean anything without the bleeding, fx

Danna I wouldn't think ff would remove crosshairs that late in your 2ww can you link it?

Charlie haven't you had your test to check if you ovulated? Fertile cm after ov can be a good sign, it is for me every time hope you ovulated!

Charmed, it's not too unrealistic to think that ib can happen at 5dpo, but I also get random mild spotting during my 2ww for no reason, could just be the hormones

Afm I'm having a weird day, still can't tell what my body is up to! Yesterday I had an almost +opk and got a faint line on my frer, today opk is almost white, not going to waste a frer on cd12 when it's probably some leftover hormones from the chemical, problem is just below my armpits hurt something crazy, especially when I lift my arms up, I can't figure out what it might be lymph nodes?

Am I doing this right? It's my first chart and first time sharing. I made the last temp "discarded" temporarly so I can still see my crosshairs

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Patience- yes I got my blood drawn but they told me I probably wouldn't have my results until Monday or Tuesday, which is the stupidest thing I ever heard. My drs office is right above the hospital so why they are sending my blood work to a different lab I have no freaking idea. But whatever.
As for your pain in your arm pit, that's really strange! Maybe your lymph nodes are swollen for some reason?

 

[cdex67]

Thanks patience...I'm actually trying to convince myself AF is NOT coming...I've had cramps all day so far and my legs ache horribly which is what happens with AF. Headaches too if that's the case though, then she's coming early. I still have hope though, don't worry
As for your armpits, the lymph nodes are the only thing I could think of too...weird.

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Thx patience....makes sense. Should I ammend my chart?

 

[Charmed86]

Aw, thank you Patience The voice of reason! Is your armpit still hurting? I'm sorry your OPKs aren't being reliable, your hormones should settle soon.

Charlie FX your results come back soon! Waiting can be so tough!

Danna so weird that FF took away your crosshairs! how's it looking today?

Cdex, your chart is looking so good! FX

AFM.. Temp has slowly gone back up Every morning is like Xmas! This morning I couldn't get back to sleep after taking it, I was too excited! Hoping I can nap later. Still got my head cold No other symptoms though. Wish I could know for sure when I ovulated, whether it was Sat or Mon. I'm working on Mon cos of the OPK, but I got a pos one at CD11 which I took out. 7dpo today (or 9dpo!) Xx

 

[patienceiav]

Elizabeth you can do, that's why your temp has an open circle on it cuz it's not your usual temp time if you adjust it I believe it's actually higher than your previous temp but you'll have to figure out the Fahrenheit conversion

Charmed, great temp rise today hopefully a sign of good things to come! I usually get my random spotting when I have a lower temp so maybe your body is like mine and has a slow rise after ov

Yep still hurting, more now than ever I've googled all about lymph nodes and I've groped myself sore and can't find anything swollen, now it's travelling ever so slightly to my boobs x.x I don't know what to think! I do reckon I could be ovulating today if I'm (un) lucky, maybe the opk I had 2 days ago was the till end of my surge? Will just have to wait and see but this ache particularly on my left side just feels wrong :/ doesn't help my mum is going through chemo for no aggressive form of breast cancer at the moment which is fuelling my paranoia!

 

[DannaD]

Crosshairs came back! After today's temp which is my lowest ever recorded... Sotemp has been going diwn for 2-3 days now.
I don't really get how FF works yet!

@patience i know how scary it can be, I'm very paranoid about everything cancer. You know pain is rarely the first sign of breast cancer, and you're still young, your pain could be caused by 1000 other things before cancer so try not gettiig too stressed about it, it will probably go away soon

 

[Charmed86]

Danna, looks like AF might be on her way, although it would be easier to tell if you'd started tempting sooner. Hopefully you get some answers soon!

Patience, any chance you could have pulled a muscle or caught a nerve? when I hurt my lunar nerve, I was sore from my fingers up to my back & neck! Nerves are all so intertwined, you might have inflamed one xxx

 

[DannaD]

Charmed, yes it would be xD
I did start charting first day but with my ordinary thermometer while waiting for the basal one and discarded the results has the difference between the two thermometer was huge -.-

hopefully next chart will look good, I'll let you guys kmow if I get AF, fingers crossed
