Post Pill TTC - Party Hard with a Vengeance

@moocher90 hmm... I think you're doing the best thing you can by just collecting as much information as possible as hopefully a pattern/picture will become clear at some point. Do you know when you'll get your results back?

@chinchilly oh no! That sounds horrible 😔

I’ve had brown spotting today.... bizarrely though as have had two bleeds this month.

First was 19-22nd Nov but it was darker blood and didn’t appear fresh as such then 29th Nov -3rd Dec which was more normal and fresh looking and heavier then the first albeit it not being bad but despite plotting it on FF it assumes my period was the first one plotted first so currently CD26 today on that basis. I guess I will have to wait and see if AF comes and if so I’m sure by my temps I haven’t ovulated this month.
Dr’s haven’t received my blood results back yet.

@TheDaydreamBelievers ooo i love hotel chocolate 😋

@Kay00 sorry to hear AF got you!

I still have this awful cough, over 2 weeks now and it will not shift, I’ve been coughing so much I think I’ve actually pulled a muscle in my stomach 🙄

@juno231 mmm that sounds delicious! I bet a Swedish Christmas is really magical.

Tonight im baking little chocolate cupcakes which I will turn upside down and decorate to look like little Chrismas puddings 😊

@thedaydreambelievers 🤤🤤🤤 mmm... hotel chocolate 🍫 😋

@laurat94 AF has started to make her appearance as I have started spotting now. Expect full flow and CD1 tomorrow. Which means I'll be starting my fertile week(s) from Christmas onwards... bring on 2021!!

@Robyn101 yes! If I got a high one I would test 3 times that day. Probably 11am, 2pm, 6pm or something like that. Basically not too early, not too late! But didn't catch a peak that first LH surge. Was still convinced I had ovulated though.

Wasn't until CD35 when I thought AF was late, that I did another OPK out of pure curiosity and caught a peak on my first try! Conceived that afternoon 😂

@LauraT94 When you were having LH surges would you test more than once that day to see if it peaks later in the day?

@Juno231 I agree with others that it looks promising, but as you say I've also seen your previous troll charts from your fuck boy body 😂 got fingers and toes crossed though! Would love too have you come join our BFP groups ❤️

And the same hopes and wishes for the rest of you too, of course!

@Kay00 hot bath and glass of wine sounds like the perfect FU to AF... If/when she comes!

@Robyn101 some people get a few LH surges before they actually ovulate. I had one at CD16-18 (I think, will have to go back and check!) And didn't actually ovulate until CD 35. Hope something conclusive happens for you soon!

@Nellieee So I’ve just started taking the seven seas preconception so we’ll see fingers crossed!

Don’t really understand my temp chart but all a bit pointless until AF anyway just doing it to get used to it really

No peak OPKs either highest being around the 50% ish. I’m planning on seeing a doctor in the new year if AF hasn’t made an appearance on her own

@Nellieee yep I’ve just got my first bad break out 8 months off the pill and one of my spots got infected and now I have to use an antibiotic cream 😫 I feel like a teenager!

@Juno231 that chart looks so promising!

Oh there is no no no way I'm starting the diet till.new year. Eating Hotel Chocolat as I type!

@kay00 haha I'm drowning in good food so there's no way I can start now either. I baked saffron buns with a sweet filling yesterday, made a meatloaf, got a guinness beef stew to make this week and and and and and. Lots of cheeses in the fridge as well as Swedish christmas goods falling out of my cupboards!

Don't be jealous of my charts, they give me BFNs just like yours at the end of the day

@Nellieee thank you! I've had a lot of pretty charts in the past though, they're all trolls though so far!

@Kay00 I know what you mean about there being too many goodies in the house at this time of year 😂 I’ll be rolling into the new year at this rate

@Juno231 I'm no expert, but your chart looks positive from the ones I've seen 🤞

@juno231 haha, I am always so envious of your charts.

@chinchilly, I think i'm not going to start any changed to my diet (to naturally reduce TSH) until the NY either, I have a lot of stollen, wine and chocolate to get through in the mean time!

I'm 13DPO, another temp drop today so just waiting on AF, she could come as late as 15DPO, so just waiting... then a nice hot hot bath and a big glass of Vino (and maybe some more stollen)!

@LauraT94 nothing special with it I'm afraid, I'm preparing myself for disappointment as it progresses 😅

@Robyn101 it's so annoying isn't it? Fingers crossed it is a positive sign as you say. You poor thing - that sounds like a long wait! I saw someone mentioned TTC vitamins/folic acid seemed to help regulate their AFs. Might be worth a try if you hadn't started. I've been taking pregnacare for about a month now. How is your temp tracking going?

@Juno231 @ChinChilly thanks girls. Will start today. Read somewhere that there is a spike of LH between 12:00 and 17:00, so will test shortly.

The adult acne is so annoying. I have had it each time I've had a pill break of more than three months. I find it calms down after a year or so but sounds like you've not had as much luck @Juno231

@Nellieee I’m getting spots too! Always had really clear skin but since I stopped taking the pill I’m getting breakouts around my hair line and cheeks - hopefully it means hormones are trying to settle somewhere day 79 since my last proper period and counting

@Juno231 I feel exactly the same about the motivation and not being sure if it will even work 🤔

@Juno231 what are your bbt and rhr doing after that dip yesterday? X

@ChinChilly I hope you get a good GP though that listens to you!

@ChinChilly not doing much atm about it, think I'll kick into gear properly after Christmas.🙊 Kinda hard to motivate myself when I won't know if it'll work!

@Nellieee I normally start at around CD10!

@Juno231 are you trying anything to bring it down naturally? I feel like mine is really high as it is 4+ I fear my GP is going to fob me off aswell, will find out on Friday! 🤞🏼

@Nellieee good idea to start today I think! As for acne - mine is still pretty bad. I had no spots ever on the pill and was never a spotty teen but since I came off the pill in Sep '19 I have been covered in it. They seem to flare up both for ovulation and AF so there's no respite for me really? Def at its worst in the LP though.

@KGH5121 welcome! Another one here with a 3+ TSH. GP fobbed me off though so kinda just plodding along with it and hoping it'll work out! Interesting to hear you feel best at 1, makes me wonder how I'd feel on that level.
