Post Pill TTC Party

@TheDaydreamBelievers I am on medication and have been since 17. I am monitored on a yearly basis at the moment but if I get pregnant then I have to come off medication and I will be monitored as I will be deemed a high risk pregnancy 🤦
The consultant has said that whilst in the medication I should have as much chance as everyone else (whatever that means). Only time will tell. But the lucky thing is the medication I am on is also used a fertility drug (in higher doses) so it may help.

@TheDaydreamBelievers just saw that you had high prolactin levels. Did they find out the reason why? When I was 17 I was diagnosed with a prolactinoma (tumour on pituitary gland) causing high levels of prolactin in my blood. My boobs were producing milk which wasn't great 🤦

@TheDaydreamBelievers will have to hope my bloods offer some kind of explanation as to what's going on. When you had your bloods done how did you ask for the specific results? Did you just ask to have it emailed to you? I know with you they said 'normal' and then looking into it further you found prolactin to be a bit high, if I'm not mistaken? How are you getting on?! X

@CharWils it might help make things clearer ☺️ Probably wouldn't take more than 10 mins to add this cycle's temps to FF either. Maybe give it a go and see if it helps you figure things out x

@MintGreenLife thank you. Hope you make a progress too xx

@MrsT12 I think I possibly did ovulate first cycle, but not until around CD25 and then had a very short luteal phase, but hard to say really. Fingers crossed you get back on track soon x

Thanks @MintGreenLife

Do you think it would be worth back tracking everything onto FF and trying to get used to it as that seems to be the one most people use/more informative?

@MintGreenLife ah it may be common for 1st cycle off to be like that. Yes definitely agree. I'm taking 7 seas trying for a baby, I've used these before, ttc #3 xx

@MrsT12 I was the same my first cycle off, as although I didn't use OPKs or chart BBT it was only 30 days so it lulled me into false pretences. I was chuffed thinking that was me back on track, but six months later and I've seen no improvements since my cycles started going haywire 😒 It's super frustrating but just have to have faith it'll sort itself out. What are you doing re supplements etc

@MintGreenLife I feel last cycle made me feel positive that it was going to return quickly and it was a trick lol. I was on the mini pill this time so no experience of coming off this one. I know I need to be patient. Oh no, that's really frustrating for you. I hope you get some answers soon xx

@AMS19 that's good there's a few things you can do to help things along, sounds like you're really positive about it which is brilliant ☺️

@MrsT12 I came of in April and can only confidently say I've ovulated once since, and that wasn't until CD40, think for some of us it can take time to get back on track, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating. I'm having bloods taken tomorrow to investigate what's going on

Massive congratulations @MrsBtobe2020! Amazing news. Take care of yourself 😘

@MintGreenLife unfortunately I don't think so. I can use dialators and get CBT support to help. But no quick fix. But the main thing is there is nothing nasty lurking. Smear tests have been fine but good to get an expert opinion just to be sure! Pain i can live with, as long as I'm healthy that is the main thing. Maybe having a baby might even help psychologically. I mean, if I can squeeze a 7/8lb baby out i really should be able to hack a tampon!

@MintGreenLife I finished it at the end of July. Ovulated on cd16 in August and so far going to skip September entirely 😩 xx

@AMS19 that must be really hard. Do you know if there's anything that can be done about it? X

@MrsT12 that's disappointing. How long have you been off the pill now for?

@MintGreenLife really tricky! I cant use tampons. I find it quite painful a lot of the time. We use a lot of lube which helps. I can usually focus and help myself relax which helps. The main thing is to rule anything nasty out. The only positive is the more sex I have the less painful it gets, so trying for a baby should actually help! But yeah, not ideal at all...

Hi all I messaged in here a few days ago about blood streaked ewcm, sadly wasn't ovulation spotting. Currently Cd28 and still awaiting ovulation xx

@AMS19 haha, if you get the opportunity then why not! Although you never know, you might not need to. Totally had to google vaginismus - that doesn't sound nice for you, does it make DTD tricky? x

@MintGreenLife really frustrating! Bur hopefully the bloods will help. I actually have a gyno apt booked for end of Nov. It is for suspected vaginismus so nothing to do with trying for a baby. But I know I'll end up waving my BBT charts in their face when I get there 😂😂

@Trying4one yeah that’s why they’ve stopped it for us, yep that happens to us aswell I’m more than happy to knock my camera off 😂
