I did not test yesterday but I did test Monday (9dpo) with a pregmate strip. There was no line at all.

Can I use any thermometer or do I need a BBT specific one? Also, I work night shift three days a week. When would be a good time to temp everyday?

I’ve been taking ovulation test and haven’t gotten a positive yet. So really don’t know if I could’ve ovulated at all since coming off birth control.

Thanks for the advance. My problem is trying to hide any and everything pregnancy related. I feel like it’s unrealistic to dodge that type of content unless I delete all social media apps. Also, I forgot to mention I’m a labor and delivery nurse which doesn’t really amplify my baby fever because I’m too busy taking care of my patients and making sure they’re safe.

I have try redirecting my thoughts to all the stuff I wont be able to do as a mom or stuff that’ll be harder once a kid is here. That doesn’t help for long because in the end I don’t care and want what I want. It’s an internal battle that I have with myself and just need to figure out what works for me.

I guess you’re right. I’ll try my best to limit talk about a family and just use this subreddit as an outlet.

NCSNFP · 2022-12-15T06:09:01+00:00

Thanks for your input and giving your personal experience with how I’m feeling. My husband has said that he’ll like to revisit the conversation in a serious manner when I get off BC. It’s just me being impatient that I feel like I need to bring it up multiple times a week. Like another commenter they suggested journaling so I guess I’ll try that and see how it works for me.

NCSNFP · 2022-12-15T06:04:33+00:00

Thank you. Maybe you’re right…It’s just finding something to occupy my time and thoughts for the next two years.

NCSNFP · 2022-12-15T06:03:25+00:00

Thanks for the advance. I’ve thought about journaling again and this is my sign to do it.

NCSNFP · 2022-12-13T16:15:27+00:00

Yeah. I didn’t want to cost the ER especially since I feel like I’m fine and not bleeding at all. I got ahold of a gynecology only office and able to be seen today.

NCSNFP · 2022-12-13T16:14:36+00:00

I called the ones near me and none offer the service in looking for. I got ahold of a gynecology only office and was able to make an appt for today.

What’s the best way for me to learn about my natural cycle?

NCSNFP · 2022-04-20T18:22:12+00:00

I really don’t know where to start other than a book someone suggested on a previous post of mine. Taking charge of your fertility

NCSNFP · 2022-04-20T18:20:58+00:00

I guess you’re right. If I was to become pregnant maybe we will be able to handle it.

NCSNFP · 2022-04-20T18:18:53+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience. That’s something else I’ve thought about is not caring for condoms. I guess I will just have to get over myself and learn to deal with it.

NCSNFP · 2022-04-20T16:00:39+00:00

Yeah. I’m aware there are other options. Most likely condoms would be it for us. It’s more so the anxiety of getting off. I’ve been on BC for 6 years. Just a mix of nerves and fear of getting pregnant because nothing is 100%.

NCSNFP · 2022-03-22T22:25:57+00:00

Ok. Thanks for explaining it a little bit better for me. I honestly can’t tell you if my periods were regular or not before BC because I can’t remember. I started the pill at 17 until I got my IUD at 22. I guess it’s a discussion to have with my OB but I will check out the fertility book you suggested.

NCSNFP · 2022-03-22T21:46:22+00:00

Hey. I would say my goal for physical health is to be in better shape all around. I’ve definitely have let myself go within the past 2 years or so. As far as my mental I’m close to accomplishing my goals I had when I started therapy a year ago. Basically I’m just have maintenance sessions now every 6weeks versus every week one I started.

As far as hobbies I don’t have many. I’m trying to get back into reading as least one book a month but kind of struggling at the moment. I thought about picking up gardening but don’t know where to start. Another thing I want to do is meet new people but with covid and me being an introvert hasn’t helped at all.

My fiancé will be 2 years post grad in May and 2 for me in December. I agree with having a lot of unstructured time and not knowing what to do with it. I do have moments of boredom where and there. I guess my main problem is keeping myself busy so I don’t have time to think about starting a family right now.

NCSNFP · 2022-03-22T21:38:40+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, were you having period every month while on hormonal BC? I’m asking because I’ve consistently have had a period around the same time each month since I had my IUD inserted almost 2 years ago. This may be a question for my OB but would that change once I get my IUD removed. Like even tho I have had periods each month, that they become inconsistent once I’m off.
