Post Pill TTC - Rave on

@Juno231 I was so confused/amused about the FRERs I burnt my lunch 😂 This is the first dog I’ve had with anal gland problems, I normally just pay for the vet to do it because the smell is like nothint I’ve ever experienced.

@Nellieee Anal glands are a nightmare! @MissC07 physio went well thanks, it was just an assessment, glad I’m not the only one with a clinger today.

Well I ordered on box of the FRERs on Amazon while there on special offer...the picture is what turned up 😂😂 so I know have 12 tests 😂

@Mol234 I can definitely see a line, def do a FRER!

@Lovebug06 Sorry AF arrived. It's such an emotional rollercoaster some days I'm full of positivity and others I feel really fed up. Sending you lots of positive vibes for your next cycle.

@ChinChilly Hope your physio appointment goes ok! I know what you mean about a clingy dog, mine won't leave me alone at the moment. Which made for a very interesting 30min online workout yesterday where she just kept trying to attack my trainers!

@Sperr Sorry your test was BFN. Hopefully you ovulated later than you thought 🤞

@Robyn101 Grab a hot water bottle, some paracetamol and plenty of choc!!

@Juno231good luck!!

@Nellieee at this point I just want to know either way! I might have to take early lunch with the way I feel right now though. I shouldn’t feel tired at all, my sleep was so good I was drooling (very weird I know 😂)

Ahhh I’ve so not caught up with everyone so I hope everything’s ok and fingers crossed we get a BFP on this bus from someone looking at all you ladies still in for January!

I’m CD3 and WOW AF is punishing me biiiiig for not appearing for the last 4 months+ this is my first proper natural period for at least 12 years after going on the pill as a teenager. Thank god for WFH 😓

@Sperr those sound like all good signs tbh! Hunger and fatigue. Didn't you say you needed the loo more too? Frequent urination is another sign. Two weeks is ages for a BFP! Hope it's not that long, and this weekend will be your time 🤞

@Juno231 eeks! Not too long to wait. Hurry up weekend!! Good that you don't have any urges to POAS. I feel like it's my new favourite thing to do.

Another thing my OH doesn't understand... sometimes it works out though! This cycle FF predicted I had O'd on CD9 due to temp shifts (but ignoring lack of other signs). I was depressed all Sunday after getting crosshairs, thinking I had follicular phase hormonal issues and early onset menopause. Turns out my temps were trolling (fingers crossed) as had a peak OPK on Sunday night and EWCM yesterday. 🍆 for the last four nights so think we're good.

@Nellieee his sister was 2 weeks late before she got a BFP with her first so he knows that it can be a waiting game.

5 days late and still loads of creamy CM, I’m absolutely starving. Like to the point I’m about to eat the entire contents of the fridge! I’m also so tired even after going to bed early last night.

I’ve spent the whole morning looking at lots of feeds where women didn’t get BFP until after a week of missing AF. I may leave it until Sunday before retesting if nothing happens in the meantime!

@Mol234 ahh that explains why your chart looks so perfect, but with triangles!! I bet you are taking temps around same time most mornings. You can override the time (it automatically puts it as the time you open the app), but it doesn't really matter if you know that you have taken the temps within half an hour.

@Lovebug06 I'm so sorry AF showed. It must feel harder each cycle. Have you had any appointments lined up now that you are at a year? Maybe talk to your partner about it tonight. Hate the idea of women (or anyone really) suffering in silence. It can be quite lonely too, when you don't openly tell people you are trying, to avoid all of the unprompted questions. Have a rant in this group whenever you want!! Sending PMA your way.

@ChinChilly bless your pup. Anal glands are real! Mine has been clingy today too. Not complaining! 🥰

@Nellieee It definitely makes things easier!

@Lovebug06 I have the same thing some days I’m really positive and then other days I feel like its never going to happen. I even said to my friend I can’t imagine it happening like I can’t imagine seeing those two lines 😕

I’ve got a physio session in an hour, surprised it hasn’t been cancelled, doggo is being a cling on, he had to have his anal glands emptied yesterday 💩 and I think he’s still feeling tender down there 😂

@Flowers222 @ChinChilly @Nellieee @Cams50 thanks for your responses, sorry if I've forgotten to tag anyone else.

I had been feeling so positive and like I wasn't too bothered, it was fab, then a day or so ago the dread and anxiousness set in. Sadly it was right as AF appeared yesterday evening just before bed which was actually early. I went to bed in tears and haven't even told my dh yet. I just feel like it's never gonna happen and its so hard when I feel like I'm surrounded by pregnancy and babies!
Onto a new month, I'm positive for this year, but I don't actually feel like I can imagine it actually happening! I'll pull myself out of the misery today and be positive again for a new month of hope. Cycle 13 here I come.

@Nellieee ahhhh is that the reason for the triangles?! I always wake up, put my temps in my notes and then update natural cycles and Ff when I’m properly up! Didn’t realise that’s why I had triangles!

@minipilling that sounds awful. I do get O pain usually the day before and day of O, but it's mild. I just know something is going on, and it's usually one side only (i say this having only had two real cycles off the pill in years!). I would keep an eye on it and speak to your GP again if it gets any worse. Poor thing.

@ChinChilly ahh great news re interview and time off. Set you up nicely to get on it girl! And your dog!! 😂 They are funny aren't they?!

@Kay00 temp drop looking good and hopefully means oestrogen is gearing up for an LH surge 🤞 LOL at your OH. Whyyy didn't he wake you up?!

Yes @Juno231 to that chart!! Will you wait until CD30 to test, or do one early?

@Sperr bless your OH for remembering. That's sweet. He probably would have read your mood anyway. You're still in the running!

@Mol234 ahh I defs see a line. But like the other girls, can't tell if it's evap or not? Maybe test tomorrow with FRER? Has FF told you off for temping at diff times? I saw your triangles. I only ask as I always have messages on my chart for the same reason.

@Flowers222 your chart still looks great!!

@Cams50 lols at cuddles. Really hope it's not anovulatory for you. Aren't our bodies annoying when they don't do what we want?! What time are you testing? I got a random peak on CB dual hormone OPK at night, after three days of solid blank circles.

I just went and got it out of the bin (also don’t judge me 😂) I really can’t tell what colour it is tbh. To me it looks more pink but not sure. Will test tomorrow anyway unless AF arrives tonight. I’ve got no FRERs left so may pop out at lunch!

@Flowers222 I know what you mean - I think test tomorrow if the temp stays high!!

@Mol234 I can definitely see a line! But I can't tell if it has any colour. I would agree that you should try a FRER tomorrow. I really hope it's your bfp! I keep flipping between having no hope at all to getting my hopes up too high 🤣 I don't know when I will test again. I might try to hold out until Friday but it will probably depend on what my chart does. If I don't get a drop tomorrow I'm not sure I will be able to wait.

@Mol234 one I got out of the bin hours later (Don’t judge me 😂😂😂😂) and the other one was about 15-20 mins after. If it’s pink in colour then it’s a positive if it’s more grey it’s an evap. I think mine were more grey than pink.

@ChinChilly ahh ok helpful to know - when do they start to get an evap? This was about 10mins after I did the test, but I’m not sure if you’re supposed to discard it by the that point?

@Mol234 I can definitely see a line, but I had 2 evaps with these tests so definitely try a FRER in the morning 🤞🏼

Also ladies can I get your opinion on this - this was the IC this morning where I think there’s a faint line. Just showed my OH and he thinks there is too but I’m not sure if our eyes are tricking us because we both want there to be a line... honest opinions please!

Thanks all - I probably need to take my own advice and not be so negative at this stage, I guess it’s the FRER that got me as I thought it’d pick up a BFP at this stage. However, natural cycles does only have me at 9DPO (FF 10DPO) so I could still be too early I guess. I’ll see if AF turns up today.

@Flowers222 chart is looking v good today! Are you going to wait til fri/sat to test?

@minipilling, you did the right thing, hopefully the pain subsides and hopefully it's just a once off xx

@Flowers222 @mol234 I'm still holding out hope for you both, your charts are looking ace! You too @Juno231your chart is bang on ... we haven't had some BFPs on this thread for a few weeks, we are long overdue!
