Post Pill TTC - Party Hard with a Vengeance

@ChinChilly I'm not sure what my TSH level was exactly except that it was above normal. I was struggling to live normally with the symptoms I was experiencing at that point, so I guess I didn't care, I just wanted something done. I was 22 and I guess naively thought that they'd stick me on meds and it'll be sorted haha! Wish I had asked more at the time. It sucks but you've got to keep 'reminding' the docs that it is a concern to you.

Sorry to hear a lot of your Christmas plans have been scrapped! Someone mentioned a while back about a postponed Christmas celebration to be held on the 25th June and now that is really sounding like a brilliant plan!

@AMS19 yeah I think that is what we will do, my grandad has an outpatient appointment at the hospital next week and apparently if you are over 80 with an outpatient appointment they vaccinate you will you are there so hopefully they’ll stab him with it while he’s there 😂😂

Not sure if it is something to do with these seven seas tablets but I’ve had wayyyy more EWCM than normal, no peak OPK yet but they have finally starting getting abit darker CD16 now and I’ve normally had a peak by now. 🤔

@chinchilly yeah all my family due to come to us now have to rush out and by Christmas food 😂😂 ahh well. We will still a Christmas day at some point, just probably could be nearer spring!

@AMS19 good that you could amend your order! I’m only seeing my parents, they only live a 5 minute drive away, won’t be seeing my grandparents it’s not worth the risk! I’m hopeful we are on the home stretch now and it will only be a few more months but who knows really, I feel terrible for everybody on tier 4 it was literally just dropped on people last night, no time to prepare! And for those men who do their xmas shopping on xmas eve...😳

@missC07 oh don't worry I still kept a LOT of food. But not enough for 8 people for 3 days plus extras which is what we did have. Thank god I could ammend the order up to tomorrow night..

@ChinChilly thats rubbish but at least you can see family Christmas day ❤❤❤

@AMS19 @MissC07 we’re still tier 3 at the moment, thank god I haven’t even finished xmas shopping! I think we will definitely be tier 4 next though the midlands numbers are going up again 🙄

@AMS19 I'm in Tier 4 too, we also had to cancel my parents and brother coming to ours for Xmas day. It's all just crap.
Although I kept the food order lol, I'll probably still be eating pigs in blankets at Easter! Sending happy vibes to everyone caught up in this xmas sh*t show

@Kay00 I feel you. I'm in tier 4 now and so are my family so just had to cancel everyone coming to us for Christmas! Luckily could cancel the mammoth food order but so sad it will just be me and my husband! Strange year 2020...

@mintgreenlife its lovely to hear from you! Sounds like your solicitor is a little sluggish, I'd get on the phone and tell them to give your case some additional attention or you'll find another solicitor! Hopefully there isn't a great deal of work left to do and you get your completion date soon xxx

Im a little grumpy this evening as the new lock down rules mean I can't visit my family in Wales (planned to meet outside and do a gift exchange tomorrow)... now I won't see them for months and im really missing my mum 😭

On the plus side I discovered botanical ciders in Waitrose today, so im drowning my sorrows in style 😆

@Juno231 thanks, really hoping it all gets wrapped up by mid January at the latest. It’s been over 4 months since we accepted the offer on our house, so think if it’s not sorted by a week or two into Jan we may consider going ahead with the sale and relocating and renting while we wait for our purchase to go through, as that’s what’s holding things up.

Well you never know, as you say those were early symptoms for me ☺️ I still very much have the sore boobs! Xx

@MintGreenLife oh no! What a mess! That's super quick overall though, I assumed you were still a couple of months away from completion! I hope everything else goes smoothly - I bet you can't wait to decorate a nursery in the new house!

@LauraT94 oh yes I knew you'd be fine ❤️ your Christmas eve scan will be so exciting!

@MintGreenLife my side boobs hurt and I woke up at 3am cause I was boiling alive so I really hoped this was it! Your symptoms gave mine hope 🤣

@Nellieee I’ve seen a few people post on here that they had regular cycles before starting them then there cycles went haywire, probably just a coincidence! I’ve been testing fairy regular so I’m not sure if I’ve missed it, I’ve had some more EWCM today so it seems as though my body is trying to do something!

@LauraT94 ahh a scan on xmas eve, how lovely! ❤️

Good luck @LauraT94 sounds like exactly what I had and baby just snuggling in! Will keep everything crossed for you xx

@Juno231 sorry you seem to be having another troll chart, it actually looks great doesn’t it! The house situation is a bit of a joke to be honest. We were told by our solicitor that completion before Christmas would be possible, only to discover on Friday they hadn’t even sent us the contracts for our sale which needed to be signed and witnessed and returned by post 🤦🏻‍♀️ There’s also some drama going on with our enquires, our silicons have gone back 3 times now with really vague questions and the sellers solicitor keeps saying they don’t understand the questions. We’ve been going round and round in circles for a week now. So we won’t be moving before Christmas that’s for sure, which is a shame as we sold our sofa and are surrounded by boxes 😅 how are your renovations going? Xx

@nellieee great looking chart! Good luck in your TWW!

@juno231 I don't want to give false hope but could 11DPO be implantation? You have had a temp and rhr rise after that? Any other possible symptoms?

@laurat94 what an exciting day for your dating scan!!

@Luna57 got my fingers crossed for Christmas Eve testing for you!

@abi555 @Kay00 @Nellieee @AMS19 @ChinChilly @Juno231 @Luna57 thanks for all the well wishes (hope I didn't miss anyone!). Bleeding has stopped and all other symptoms are going strong! Lines on ICs are still strong too. Tuesday's scan is now cancelled as NHS rang up yesterday to offer my early dating scan on Thursday (Christmas Eve!) so just a few more days to wait to see what's happening in there!!

@Juno231 sorry it was another BFN this morning, are you sure your ICs are the sensitive ones? Your chart is a serious mega troll if this isn't a BFP in the making!! Sending you lots of positive thoughts and well wishes - I know it can't be easy seeing that on your chart and getting BFNs x

@Nellieee awesome temp shift! Now for the agonising TWW 😅.

*good to know 🤦‍♀️

@Juno231 god, your chart is really taking you in a journey. So so hope it's a slow BFP! 🤞

Looks as though I've definitely ovulated as crosshairs popped on today which is love to know things are ticking along. Now the waiting game starts... 👀

@Nellieee 12DPO and had another bfn this morning so just waiting for AF to arrive tomorrow 🤷‍♀️. My chart and rhr look bloody good though so I was definitely hopeful!

@MintGreenLife how's the house purchase going? Do you have a planned completion date?

@ChinChilly sorry, you messaged as I was typing. Hope not. Some people have said the tablets make them more regular, but apparently there is no scientific evidence of it affecting you one way or another. You could have just missed a peak?

@abi555 I spotted for five days before AF came. I put it down as spotting as like you, barely needed a tampon. Was usually in the morning. Hopefully she's on her way. And lolz at cutting your nails for cervix checking. I can never seem to reach mine.

@Juno231 any updates today?

@Moocher90 @ChinChilly sorry to hear your drs appointments weren't great. As others say, it seems to be so hit and miss depending on areas. Any signs of ovulation @ChinChilly?

@abi555 hoping that's implantation spotting for you!

@ChinChilly your CD15 reading looks good, wouldn't be surprised if that turns into a peak tomorrow? Def test more times today!

@abi555 I had brown discharge on and off before my AF arrived!

I hope these seven seas tablets aren’t playing with my cycles I would of normally had atleast a high reading by now 🤔

Has anyone that is waiting for AF after stopping the pill had a random bit of spotting that you think is going to turn into a period (enough to need a light tampon) that then disappears within about 6 hours and now no signs of AF again?
I'm confused as had this yesterday and now nothing - definitely no AF in sight. Got so excited and happy yesterday morning seeing it as well so its a bit of a bummer. Is it just my body trying and failing to have a period? Trying to see the positives that at least something happened....
