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

[patienceiav]

Aww nuts cdex sorry hun glad you're taking something positive out of it!

Well Turtle I've conceived 4 times and we always 69 before bd without it we'd honestly not manage, so unless the specialist tells us not to we're gonna carry on!

You're brave Charlie, I can't stand not knowing my ov date I always say "screw this cycle I'm not going to pay attention" then soon as I get closer to ov I get all needy lol

 

[cdex67]

I love this thread so much! You ladies are great.

Also, I think af is trying to kill me. Like seriously I want to go home and curl up with my heat pack. I've never had the first day be this heavy. Must be my bcp was doing a good job regulating it. I'm still in a surprisingly good mood though.

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Lol patience I am honestly guessing because I had so many positive opks this cycle and I had two days where the test line was darker than the control. So I'm not entirely sure which day would have been O lol.

 

[patienceiav]

Most of the time it'll be the day after your first +opk, though i once had it the same day and i know a woman who has it 2days after! What dpo would you be if you o'ed first day of your strongest opk?

 

[mkyerby16]

Charlie so happy that you O'd! Fx'd!!

I've just been quietly watching & praying for you lovely ladies! I just know we're going to see at least one bfp soon here.

I was one of those that was afraid saliva would harm things so we avoided anything oral. I told DH and luckily he was totally on board and wanted the best chances. I need some sort of lube though (tmi?) so we got some Preseed since all other lubes are supposed to be a no-no. I can't help but wonder if the Preseed actually helped, but who knows!

 

[Turtle0630]

Patience, you really do crack me up! Well that's good to know that it apparently doesn't effect getting pregnant, at least not in your case! I'm sure DH will be happy to know that!

Mkyerby, I've heard lots of women say great things about Preseed helping them conceive! Some women swear by it. If it doesn't happen soon for us, I'll probably look into getting some!

Patience, I've become the same way, every cycle! Going into it and pretty much up until right before O, I'll be thinking the EXACT same thing... "Screw this cycle, I'm not going to pay any attention". Then I start getting close to the time and thinking "Well, maybe I'll just start testing, just in case..." Then I get a positive one and I'm all about the "It's my O time! We need to time this perfectly and get in as much bd'ing as we can!" followed by obsessively symptom spotting through the tww. Glad I'm not alone with that! Haha!

Cdex, sorry AF is so bad this cycle! Glad to hear you're still in a good mood though, yay!

 

[patienceiav]

Cdex it's totally worth treating yourself when af comes, I like to do all the things I couldn't do if preggers (drinking and then eating my body weight in chocolate and pizza) it's my way of saying "fuck you" to my body! big hugs!

Hehe turtle we tried preseed too! With even 1g it was too much and we couldn't feel anything, decided we'd do it our way! Maybe if you're tracking ov you could always leave it out of the closest bd to ov, or ask for a treat since there should be less saliva where the swimmers go later?

 

[cdex67]

Yes patience, that's exactly what I intend to do! Yay for chocolate and alcohol!!

Also, just to put in my two cents...I don't receive oral a whole lot, although I do enjoy it but I actually love to give blow jobs and that makes me enjoy the rest even more I think. I never thought about the saliva thing though...

 

[Turtle0630]

Patience, that's pretty much when I've been worried about oral for either of us, only when it's O time. Honestly, even if I don't feel like it the rest of the cycle I won't typically say so anymore because I figure if I'm saying no during those few days, I should just be ok with it the rest of the time! I mean don't get me wrong, I won't do something that I really don't want to do and I'm usually a-ok with it. I just figure it's only fair to him during the non-O times, if he's wanting it!

Cdex, since you hadn't ever thought about it either, maybe I really am just being too paranoid! I think I need to stop being more rigid apparently! Glad you're taking advantage of the alcohol and chocolate while you can!

 

[patienceiav]

Sometimes temping really is like he night before Xmas lol, excited to see what my temp does tomorrow I do hope I O'ed today cuz I've come down with a cold! Going to bed an hour early and taking the day off tomorrow. My under arms/side boobs are already more painful, can't wait to quiz the specialist on Monday! It's the same on both sides but just slightly more sore on the left. What a 2ww this will be!

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

You girls crack me up!

Sorry if this is tmi....Just did the BD....regained my composure....just layed there enjoying the moment after.....then went to the ladies room. Anyone else feel like it is such a waste feeling all that viable little swimmers come out? Maybe I should practice keeping them in when I'm DPO.

Honestly, I tried putting a pillow under me....not sure it was high enough or what. Lol....still feel like they wanted to be free rather than stay nice and warm.

Maybe I need more pillows and need to squeeze my legs shut!

 

[mkyerby16]

I know what you mean. I felt the same way. To be totally honest I would put my legs up in the air for a minute or two even though I knew it was so silly and unnecessary and I would try to lay there for at least 15 mins or so before getting up. Really though the good viable swimmers are already on their journey up and the rest is just extra and the stuff that holds it all together. Lol

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

HAHA, well I'll take viable swimmers and all their stuff!! STAY IN!

 

[cdex67]

I feel the same way Elizabeth, but I feel dirty if I don't go to the bathroom after and "clean out" I guess...

 

[twinkie2]

I'm here everyone, just silently stalking do to being busy last week and now sick Been following all of you and I can not wait to update another BFP (or all) to the front page!! I know there are a few ladies that I may not have gotten a chance to say hello to, so to all you new ladies, a huge welcome and and I'm glad you found us. I hope you find this thread as useful as many of us already have. The support is so wonderful here!

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Hi Twinkie. Thanks for having me. These ladies have been holding my hand as i try and figure out whats what! Soooo helpful! Congrats to you! Hope to be sprinkled in dust as you were!!

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Cdex....yeah...sticky...wet...goodness. Lol

Shower please! But now....now I must keep it in! Lol

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Patience sunday the 14th was the first strong positive then I had another on Monday.

I'm getting kinda crampy this evening so I'm thinking AF is going to be arriving in a few days. Boo.

 

[DannaD]

Omg ladies you all made me laugh so much xD
I never thought saliva could harm the sperm! I won't stop BJ though, it makes the whole thing more sexy for me!
And yeah, to go or not to go to the bathroom... I know the little swimmers are already on their way at this point, but it's psychological! I'll keep my legs up and laugh about it xD

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Danna....i try and laugh....but i fear my muscles pushing them out if i laugh too much! I try and sit there quietly so no one notices im trying to stand on my head and not look weird. Need to keep the romance alive.
