Post Pill TTC - Rave on

Cycles not cuddles wtf hahaha 😂

@Nellieee thanks! My cuddles are usually around 28 days so this late ovulation isn’t normal for me 😞 I had a temp drop yesterday so I thought I might have gotten a peak OPK yesterday but nope and now a temp rise today so doubt I’ll get one. I feel like this might be an anovulatory cycle which is just frustrating to not even be in with a chance this month. Just have to keep hoping it’ll happen I suppose! I wonder if I should just stop the agnus castus or see out the cycle..

@TheDaydreamBelievers is your appointment this Thursday? I hope you get some answers and it all gets sorted quickly.

@Kay00 that’s good about your temp drop! Hilarious about your OH but I’m sure he’ll muster up the stamina for later!

@Mol234 a shadow of a line sounds hopeful! And the AF cramps good be a good sign! They’re also a sign of pregnancy so there’s still hope!

@Juno231 your chart is looking amazing!

Hiya, just to update I did speak to the on call doctor just now and she thinks, especially with my endometriosis, that it's within the realms of normal because of my hormones resettling. The pain is less today so she said to ring her back if it gets worse again or if I need stronger painkillers. So, fun! I've got my hot water bottle though.

@Nellieee I am just hoping I was too early. AF is due around Friday or Saturday.

@Juno231 that is a really good temp rise today 🤞

@Mol234 sorry about the bfn. Hopefully that shadow will turn into something in the next few days. Your temps are still really high even with the drop today! So definitely not out yet.

So I am now 10/11dpo. Had another small temp increase this morning. Usually would get a drop by now. Feel like my chart is trolling me after my bfn yesterday.

@Kay00 that did made me giggle about you OH, totally wasted swimmers!

@Juno231 He hasn’t moved onto dirty nickers yet, although there is always room for progression! Just socks and bras at the moment 😂 your chart is looking good!

@Sperr I like your positive thinking!

@Mol234 fingers crossed, hopefully its just a little bit early to test 🤞🏼

Morning all! 10DPO for me today, took a test this morning and BFN ☹️ - I took an IC and could’ve sworn there was the faintest line, decided to do a FRER to check and it was negative. I still think I saw a line, took a pic and there’s defo a shadow there but possibly an evap or my mind playing tricks on me! I also woke up with AF like cramps so pretty sure AF is on her way. Chart attached - had a temp drop today so will see what the next day or so brings in terms of AF! Will be pleased to see my period to be honest given the super long cycle.

@Sperr sorry about the BFN but you’re not out yet!

@Juno231 chart still looking fab!

@Kay00 yay fingers crossed for you for ovulation and that’s hilarious about your OH!

@Nellieee @Juno231 I told OH - he actually asked by himself as I’d said a few days before AF was due! I guess I’m just gonna wait for the weekend and see what happens really.

To keep myself positive I’ve read some people didn’t get their BFP until they were really late. I suppose we see so many BFP before AF is due we forget sometimes you actually have to be over a week late! (That’s my positive thinking for now anyways.

@chinchilly 😆 haha naughty puppy!

@juno231 thats a damn fine temp rise!!! 😁

🤣🤣 I didn't think about the effect of a mid night romp on my temp 😆 im hoping his little men are still effective this evening... and that he's not too tired after work today 😑

Sorry for tmi before 07:30 😆

@thedaydreambelievers so sorry to hear you're still getting positives, is it very unusual this many weeks after surgery?

@minipilling hmmm, somethings not quite right there, sounds like you should call your gp x

I had a nice big temp drop this morning, hopefully that means ovulation is on the horizon 🤞 annoyingly though... DP couldn't sleep last night so he got up and had a wank (about 4am).... but I needed that sperm 😭 we have had such a good DTD pattern all month, and just when I need them they are wasted in a pile of tissue 🤣😭🤣😭🤣😭

@Nellieee it’s good to have abit ot a back up to shut the male moaning up! OH has booked the night shifts off yay! He hates doing them anyway. He’s got an interview on Wednesday for a job closer to home with no night shifts 🤞🏼

@minipilling that sounds really painful, I would definitely call your GP.

6:30 this morning and the dog is walking around with a bra in his mouth...I hope this isn’t the tone for the day 😂😂

Yeah may be an endo related cyst but it's very unlike my usual endo/scar tissue pain and I was fine up until a few days ago. I've had two surgeries to remove cysts and endo. Hopefully not that again!

Posted another thread but just occurred to me to ask here! Has anyone had super painful ovulation off the pill?

I was on the mini pill, desogestrel. My first bleed was OK, a bit heavy at first and didn't stop completely for twelve days but not too painful, I just felt exhausted. Had sex a day before suspected ovulation, got cramps after and diarrhea :/ then on ovulation day severe cramping, ovary pain, sciatic and leg pain. It's been a few days and I still have milder burning/cramping all over abdomen, ovary twinges, low back aches and general bloated/heavy feeling low down. Has anyone else had this after stopping a pill? It's so bad I don't know if I can continue (definitely couldn't have sex again after the pain started so I missed most of the fertile window I guess) I've been bedbound with it and really tired. FWIW I have endometriosis which is controlled with the mini pill taken constantly.

@ChinChilly that really made me lol! The exact same thing happened with us the other day, with OH moaning we'd gone without sex for two weeks a month or so ago. I soon corrected him with the app evidence 😂🤣 hope FW is not during OHs late shifts. Grr. @abi555 @FlyingGiraffe they don't know the half of it, do they?!

@MissC07 just tell him to produce the goods! Haha. I started putting him on notice (not sure that's a good idea tbh!!)

@Sperr Oh I'm sorry it's a bfn for now. Hopeful that it's just a delayed positive for you!! Did you tell OH? It's such a rollercoaster of emotions.

@Cams50 12 day period is tough! Bless you. Have heard mixed things about agnus castus. How long are your cycles normally?

@Lovebug06 glad you're feeling positive for 2021. It's a real mind game. You naturally get your hopes up each month. It feels like everyone is pregnant these days. I've come off socials and feel better for it tbh.

@Flowers222 you're still v early on! When are you due on?

@firsttimemummy321 hoping it's not a delayed CP and a late BFP!!

@firsttimemummy321 no idea, the apps and CDs dont really work post miscarriage. I'm 6 weeks post surgery and 4 weeks after stopping bleeding. But still testing positive. And not even a sniff of ovulation. Sorry, feel like my posts on this thread are v groundhog day but that's how I feel (and I'm also just v preoccupied with it!)

@firsttimemummy321 so sorry about the negatives 😞 hopefully it sorts itself out quickly so you can start a fresh cycle.

I would have thought I’d missed ovulation as my peaks do come and go fairly quickly except that my temps haven’t risen so don’t think so. Why are bodies so confusing!

@firsttimemummy321 I'm really sorry your faint positives went negative. Mine went negative 2 days before I started bleeding with my cp so might just take a little bit of time.

@firsttimemummy321 I think I had a chemical in November and my test was negative before I bled. So does mine and my out of office hasn’t even been on since 29th December & my sick note covers me until the 20th January 😬

@ChinChilly yeah I get sucked I. Very quickly 😂 made worse by these strange happenings. I'm assuming chemical but not sure why I haven't bled yet :( don't blame you with work emails mine shoot up very quickly 🙈

@Sperr you’re definitely not out until AF arrives 🤞🏼

@firsttimemummy321 glad I’m not the only one, I seem to POAS just for something to do these days. Hmm that is strange wonder what’s going on!

I think I’ll actually be glad to go back to work next week, although not looking forward to my inbox, by the time i go back I’ll have been off for over a month 🤦🏼‍♀️

Catching up 🙈

@Mol234 @Juno231 @Flowers222 your charts are all looking great 🤞🏻 I do t know how you're all holding off but I'm a poas addict I think 😂

@Elsie2021 good luck! Have fun trying 😆

@Kay00 sorry if already answered or too late but I normally test with opk using smu and if near peak about 4pm as well :)
Have you been getting 2nd line throughout your cycle? When trying for my son I only started to get a hint of a line within a couple of days if my positive, but now I keep getting darker but still light and negative then very light then darker 😫

@ACNass when trying for my son mine were negative apart from the few days around the positive might just be like this until you get nearer?

@ChinChilly im the same I'm so confused what's going on I've peed on 4 sticks today 😂 send help!

@Sperr I understand the fears but you're much stronger than me not testing that long. I had my🤞🏻 for you, could you have ovulated later? 🤞🏻

@TheDaydreamBelievers where in your cycle are you? My temps are all over the place 🙈

@Juno231 that's crazy cheap for frers I bought the same pack I think varies from £13 -£14 for me but still so much cheaper than in the shops and none close to me sell them anyway 🙈

@Cams50 could you have missed it? Mine can be positive for literally a few hours then back down within a day or 2 negative again.

@Lovebug06 hi :) no advice as such but wishing you luck! 🤞🏻 when is AF due?

@Flowers222 🤞🏻 for you that is still early and could still be off on your timing making you even earlier

@abi555 I use the one step ones and atm I'm all over the place blank white then darker line very clearly visible but not a positive, then back lighter or negative again. When I was trying for my first mine were blank white then within 24-48 hours went from light lines to my peak and then back to negative so completely.

So my faint positives are now negative (have been for 2 days) but still no bleed which is strange as last year when I had a chemical I bled before the tests went negative so I'm a little confused, opks and temp all over the place, just very confused what my body is doing 🙈

@flyinggiraffe thanks for the link re OPKs this was very useful!

@sperr 😔 sorry for the negative. Hopefully you ovulated a few days later and your not out yet xx

@flowers222 I agree, 9 or 10dpo is still quite early so 🤞🤞🤞
