off bc, no af, bfn, who's with me???
| Wed, 07-12-2006 - 6:58am |
hi, I took off the bc patch on 5/7, started af as normal on 5/10 and haven't started new af since. I had a blood test on 7/5 got bfn. now it's 7/12 and still no af. I know it can take up to 3 months to start af after stopping bcp so really it could take another month for me, but COME ON ALREADY!!!
we did bd on 6/25 so if I conceived on that day then I think it would still show bfn on a blood test, I guess I can do hpt this weekend but I know it is very unlikely I am pg. Just WAITING for af and I have no clue when it's coming
It's hard to swallow the bfn's until I get af, even though I know I need to accept it I just am dying for af to get here if I'm really not pg...
thanks for letting me get this off my chest!!!

Hi Alice,
So, still no AF, huh? I'm sorry...that's not fun at all. I finally got it yesterday! And boy is it an awful one! I guess that's what happens when it takes 40 days to get here! Ugh! I'm so miserabel right now...but I'm at least happy that she showed, the not knowing part is what drives me insane (as I'm sure you know)! But I'm just happy that it wasn't anything serious, my dr. thought maybe I might have a cyst or something, but the ultrasound showed nothing. Phew!
Well, feel free to keep venting here whenever you need to. I'm sure next month I'll be in the same place, waiting, waiting, waiting... :)
Take care and I hope you get your BFP (or at least af, so you can stop worrying) soon!

I'm with ya!
Took my last active bcp on 6/10 af came 6/11 bded on 6/17 and 6/19 and O'd somewhere in there (had ewcm 6/17 thru 6/19). Still no af... now 3 or 4 days late (depending how you figure) and all the bfns I don't want! I hate the thought that it could take 3 months to get af back... the thought makes me sick!
good luck... keep us posted.

I'm with you too!
I stopped pill and had last bcp af on May 29 and haven't gotten a pill-free af yet. It is driving me NUTS! I've done 2 hpts with both being bfn. I've never wanted af (or bfp) so badly in my life. DH and I are not actively trying to get pg- although I would love to be, he wants to wait a bit. We use barrier methods (diaphragm mostly) inconsistantly so there is a chance of pg, but with 2 bfns, I think my body is taking it's sweet old time getting used to being hormone free.

hi everyone! Thanks for your replies, it helps me through this waiting period so much to be able to chat with you. I try not to talk about it too much with my dh, I don't want to babytalk overkill. He really wants another baby (especially a girl, we have 2 ds's ages 2 & 3 1/2). when I mentioned it a few weeks ago about being anxious for af or bfp he suggested maybe we should use protection just until I start af so we won't be in limbo never knowing for sure if I'm pg... that would be the smart thing to do (also that's what drs recommend!) but I feel like I don't want to lose a possible opportunity to conceive, plus trying is a blast LOL. also I know eventually I'll either get af or bfp so either way it will work itself out
like I said without af I just can't 100% believe bfn, the proof is in the pudding LOL when I finally get af that's when I'll really accept I'm definitely not pg.
Robin I bet you're glad you got af now you can move on to the next stage of waiting, right?!?!? I hope you seal the deal this month :)
Good luck to you all and keep me posted!
Yeah, I'm the same way, I don't want to overkill the babytalk with DH. We are really supposed to be waiting to try, but I just want a baby sooooo bad! And as loving as he trys to be, by telling me that I'm going to make a great mommy one day, and how much he can't wait to have a baby too, it doesn't make me feel any better about having to wait! The only words I want to hear from him are "Ok, let's really start trying!" :)
I'm also afraid that if I keep talking about wanting a baby, or every month thinking that I might be, he'll suggest using a barrier method too! I so don't want that either! We're both ok if it happens sooner than we plan, so I mean why bother,right??? ;)
So, Alice, how you doing? Still nothing yet?? (and yes, you can count on seeing me in the same waiting boat in a few weeks). This month I've decided to start charting my temps to see if/when I O'd this month, that way I figured I'll have a better idea if I'm really "late" :)
hi! nothing yet still WAITING. I'm going camping next week I'm sure af will come the day we pick up the rv LOL
that's a good idea about the charting. I hope you are able to figure out when you o. I have no clue when/if I did or am going to... let us know how it goes for you
Sari's going to take hpt with me on Sun. I guess I'll just take one a week till af comes since we're still having unprotected sex (why not right?!?!)
wish us luck this weekend!
Haha...See! That's my thinking too, if you think you might be pg, why not just have unprotected sex anyways!! ;-D
Have fun this weekend and make sure to keep us posted on how your doing...
Good luck!! :) Lots and lots of baby dust to you...
hi! hope everyone's having a great weekend! update - still no af, took hpt this morning for the first time since my bfn blood test on 7/5 and yup another BFN... AAAAAAGGGGGGGHHH
is anyone out there who took this long to start af after stopping bc? lmp started 5/10 (took off bc patch on 5/7)
I don't feel pg and wasn't surprised at the bfn this morning, but without af you know what I mean... it's still hard to be "positive" that I'm NOT "positive" LOL
Hi, I am in the same situation as you. My last period was on June 4 and my next was supposed to start on the 8th ( 35 day cycle). DH and I started trying about 3 months ago, but I really didnt have any hope for June because we didnt try the way we shouldve, so I was really expecting AF to come. I had a lot of cramps and everything..... well she never showed (8 days late). I have been very tired, nauseous...the last 2 days throwing up as soon as I get out of bed in the morning, constantly going to the restroom ( like every 2 hours. I have thought that I would start my cycle several times due to the cramping and the moist feeling that I was having. Well about l days ago we noticed my stomache getting larger (noticably) and now itr is huge. My husband is panicing that if Im not preg then something is seriously wrong with me (Thats how huge it is). Then I woke up this am and went to the rr and had blood on the topilet paper. Now when I usually have my period it is full force right away..... not this time. I dont even have to wear anything it mostly only comes out when I wipe. The color varies from brown to bright pink and sorry if TMI it looks all slimy. I have taken 2 pregnancy tests last week both times with BFN. I have no clue what is going on. When we had our 1st child I did not know I was preg until I was 3 months because I still had a period so I dont remember any symtoms I had ( if I had ANY because I didnt pay attention) I never had morning sickness though.
Has anyone heard anything like this before ? I dont think its in my head either because I wasnt even excited about being preg this month. Any help wpuld be appreciated.... I really want to find out whats going on because if Im not too be honest something is wrong (due to the HUGE belly)..... and if I am Im scared that Im farther along or there is more than one. You have to see it to beleive it.
Sorry so long
Ashley
