TTC just off the pill buddies

[Caroline:-)]

Well, I've just had some feeling sorry for myself time... I don't know what's up with me but I've just been crying uncontrolably and I don't know why... I just want to be pregnant so bad... and I really don't think I'm going to be... this cycle at least... I need to get that PMA back - if the bl00dy witch is going to pay me a visit I just want her to get on with it... I can get upset a final time then and then get on with if for a new cycle... G0d, I hate this... you build up so much hope...

Hey Girls! I also have that worry that I will never be able to get pregnant but I try to tell myself not to think like that. PMA and all that!


Caroline you may still get a F'xd for you hun. How do you do the charting stuff? I've ordered a btt on the net. Will it be okay to start doing it from a few days into my cycle?


Squeal congrats hun!!!!!! That sounds sooo romantic.

This cycle I'm going to try and drink grapefruit juice, chart my temp and have got OH to start taking father to be vitamins I would soooo love to be preggers this cycle/or next as it's my OH's 40th at the beginning of Dec. I would just love to give him a +ve test all wrapped up as a gift.


to you alll xxxxxx

Yeah, you should be fine to start temping a few days in hun... I did that last cycle... it's all really easy to be honest... Just take your temp at the same time each morning as soon as you wake up... I leave mine on my bedside table so I can just pop it in, get the temp and go back to sleep!!! I'd recomend using FF then - just input your data for each day - temp, cm, opk and other things incl. cp if you want and then you can also put all your symptoms in... it's nice and easy - FF will then work out when you've Ov'd - usually it'll decide a few days later when it sees the temp shift along with other things youre monitoring... if it's sure it'll put solid crosshairs on your chart - if it's a bit unsure it'll put dotted ones - a vertical one on O day and a horizontal one to show your coverline - the temp that it expects your post-ov temps shoudl be above! GL!!!!

I've been drinking a glass of grapefruit juice every day too - but this is no hardship for me as I love it anyway!!!! MY oh is also taking the father to be vits - he moaned and moaned at the idea of it - but I perservered and he gave in!!!! Although I think he takes them more like every other day... but hey, I figure it'll still be doing some good and better not push the issue any more!!!!

Aaaaw, that'd be so fab if you could wrap up a BFP test for his b'day pressie!!! What a lovely idea!!!

I've had a read of this thread - please may I join in with your chats?

I'm in my first month off BCP. If my body gets into things straight away then I should ov this week! Me and hubby are every other day in case it happens sooner or later then we expect!

If it doesn't happen for us this month then I might buy an opk to check I am ovulating but we'll see what happens!

 

[babycakes1982]

Welcome Lou!!! I like the OPK's they are giving me reassurance that my body is doing something right.

Caroline I like the idea of going back to sleep after doing my temp I will give it a bash and see how I get on.

I understand what you mean about building up the hope soooo much. Think you sound like how I felt at the end of last cycle. We just want it soooo badly. I think because you wait and wait unitl you're ready and now that you are ready, it's like you want your OH to look at you and you're preggers!!!!


PMA, PMA, PMA and remb ur not out until Hopefully she will just bugger off for hmmmm bout 9months!

Please remind me to be this +ve when I get to my next 2ww!!

 

[squeal]

Well the telling my parents part went better than expected.

When I told my Mum, she said in a disappointed voice, I had a feeling this was going to happen! So we thought uh oh ... apparently she'd been having dreams while we were away!! Anyway, then she was happy for us, and drove over to my Gran's to get a bottle of champage from her house so we all had that, and then had to ring my Aunts to tell them and she's text 11 people telling them that we have announced we're engaged so she's taken it well and keeps asking loads of questions about what we want for the wedding and when etc.

So now hopefully she will have three months to recover before we tell her some even more shocking news!! Not sure that will go down as well though after my OH reassured her that it wasn't because I was pregnant, to which her reply was that it wasn't a good time for that kind of thing when I start my new career in a couple of weeks! Ah well ...

Hi all,
Hardly been on here in a week or so, just been sooo stressed and busy with work, MSc, house and everything else, aaaarrrggghhh...I soooo need a holiday!

Anyone else got any news then? BFP/BFN/AF, etc?!?!?

Hey babycakes, yeah, my theremometer saves the last temp so when it beeps I can just turn it off and go back to sleep... then record it later... that's rubbish that yours doesn't do that... mine was just a cheap one from amazon... Have you given up with the temping now then?

 

[squeal]

Mothercabbage I'm testing next Thursday which should make me 12 DPO.

I've had mild cramps since 4DPO but bother than that I don't really have any symptoms, if I were to mention another cold and tiny headaches then I think that would just be reading into nothing.

I keep doing OPKs but they just keep coming back negative. I'm 8DPO now. Can't say I notice anything different with my boobs either.

At least in 4 days I can test, it's not too long!

How is everyone else?

Is AF over now Caroline?

Who is next to test?

Hey girls!

Haven't been on in a while cos my broadband has been playing up!
I'm still doing the temping just now Caroline. Noticed mine will display the last temp taken when you switch it back on but only if you're quick to look at it. So it's not too bad but I'll see how I get on with it. Hopefully I'll only need to do it this month!!!!!!

I might ask you more questions about it as my cycle continues, if that's ok? Hoping this one will be about 30 days or so (last 2 were 36 and 33).

I'm currently on CD11, how bout everyone else where abouts r u girlies?

Im just curious to know how long people have been TTC so for and before that how long they were on the pill for. Almost upto month 6 now. Before that I was on the pill for about 12/13 yrs.

Similar to you hun... I was on the pill for around 14 years & have been off it (TTC) for 6 months now.

This is my second month trying and had been on the pill for five years.

Lost my PMA now, I think I'm out this month. Have cramping right now but it feels more like AF cramps.

My Gran has basically said today that we can't break the tradition of having children before marriage either so if I got a BFP I don't think she'd be too happy!

I'm 10DPO today, I am getting tempted to test!

Hi can I please join you lovely ladies.

This is my first month TTC, I came off the pill last month and didn't wait for a breakthrough bleed before we started trying, which I now realise was a silly thing to do!!! Have absolutely no idea when to expect AF and have spent the last week convinced I have plenty of pg symptoms. Then it dawned on me today that the symptoms I am experiencing are very likely down to the fact I have just come off the pill and nothing to do with being pg . I have also realised today that the chances I have conceived in month 1 with no idea of what my cycle is is very very unlikely.

I just can't wait to get this cycle over with and start afresh

Anybody else started trying immediately?

 

[squeal]

Of course you can join us!

Most of us are all in our 2nd month of TTC now and we all jumped straight into it after our withdrawal bleed.

Some people are lucky enough to become PG in their first month of coming off BC, my friend was.

I didn't use OPKs last month so had no idea when I O either but they're a good idea for next month if you're not PG as then you can pin-point O which helps.

GL TTC and I hope your wait isn't a long one.

 

[WDWJess]

Thanks Squeal. I will definitely use an OPK next month, which one do you use? Have just noticed you are from Lincolnshire too. Would be fantastic to be bump buddies very soon . Have just been reading your journal. Congratulations on your engagement.
