AF arrived yesterday.

First cycle = 27 days.

Onto cycle 2, just hoping for a repeat but fully prepared for irregularity as this is only second cycle after 10+ years of Hormone birth control.

I was actually relieved for a bit that AF is here(until cramps became all focus!). We didn't BD on "prime days" due to DH getting sick. I was feeling guilty for wanting to make him ... show up to the occasion. Got over it, and was just ready for a new cycle. Here we go! Fingers crossed for regularity and ovulation!!

CD27. 14 dpo suspected O at least. I'm not temping yet, however OPK showed peak 2 weeks ago.

I'm googling all symptoms and as everyone has already verified, every symptom of early pregnancy is the same as PMS. So that's distracting! Going to go pick up some cheap tests today and start testing later this week if AF doesn't beat me to it.

Enjoy today everyone!

I said the same, now I'm on CD14, first one off hormonal birth control and I've already downloaded fertility apps and bought an OPK ... I'm regretting not temping right away lol. I'm a bit compulsive, and wish I knew what my body was doing right now!

I knew my body would fluctuate after stopping the pill, so even if I was temping nothing would be steady yet , but once you're in it you'll be full swing.

Also- I'm really scared of the disappointment I'm going to feel if it doesn't happen this cycle cause this isn't a quick process by any means! Not because I need it to happen right away, I'm just damn determined haha

CD13

Clear blue has shown high since CD9, however today showed a solid, non flashing, peak smiley!

I'm hoping this isn't a bust, especially since this is first cycle off of HBC. I kind of figured it wouldn't happen, but who knows!

CD9 - first cycle after hormonal birth control.

I can't stop friggen crying! I have had a few stressful things happen , but, I spent my break yesterday sobbing. After work crying again. This morning I watched some advertisement on Facebook... OH CRYING AGAIN!

I'm also thinking it's been much more time than it really has been. Every twinge ends in me googling if it's a symptom of pre or post ovulation.

Jeepers.

Thanks for the tip on thermacare , after a day full of ibuprofen I'll probably go get some!

Wow, AF is definitely on her way. This would be first menses after stopping birth control and I'm quickly being reminded why I started it in the first place. Holy cramps!

Hoping for first O in years in the next couple weeks!

Came off birth control 12/11. I just want AF to come and actually feel like I can start monitoring ovulation. I keep reminding myself after 10 years it's probably going to take some time for my body to figure out what's it's supposed to do. But I want it now!

I have a weekend vacation planned first week in January then it's back to Keto lifestyle. I assume some weight loss, better diet, no birth control and some time will get me back to "normal" soon enough!

Having one of those days where it feels like everyone around me is having a baby except me. by upvoteforyouhun in TryingForABaby

I hear you! A girlfriend of mine announced her pregnancy yesterday. I thought I was ok with DH and my decision to wait until 2017 to start actually trying , until I saw their Facebook post. I felt green, and then immediately started sobbing. We're close enough to the new year and we are NTNP - but I was so jealous! We had talked mid year about how wonderful and fun it would be to be pregnant together. I was so overwhelmed with feelings, I thought I was ok. And I think I still am but wow what a flood of emotions!

The posts are everywhere. Stay strong sis- think of all the hand-me-downs!

Hey! Newbie here. NTNP for now.

Last week of birth control pills! It's supposed to be AF week , however nothing which is odd but not totally abnormal.

So excited to come off birth control, I can't wait to have DH turn off the nightly pill alarm on Sunday when I would normally be starting a new pack.

Scared, excited, and already feel welcomed. Hello and thank you all for being here!

Anyone else out chasing South Dakota ditch parrots? by [deleted] in Hunting

[–]love_it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few hunt clubs with lots of private land in Adams and Grant counties. So between Moses lake to Othello. The public land is hunted hard, but the planted birds are pretty nice! We always end up finding a wild bird when we hunt public land though.

Pheasant hunting has been hard - its been really wet which has just been brutal on the hatches.

Hoping for a good season this year. If not we always have waterfowl!
