Post Pill TTC - Rave on

It’s that time again, the 6th post-pill thread of ladies who are experiencing the highs and lows (mainly the lows…) of coming off the pill and TTC! Here you’ll find stories of delayed ovulation, crazy long follicular phases, crazy short follicular phases, light AFs, short luteal phases, long luteal phases, confusing temp charts and blindingly white OPKs, to name a few.

Join us, won’t you? We're a lovely bunch and we'd love to help you make sense of post-pill life if we can!

Actually I'm CD33 😭

Kay00 · 16/01/2021 07:56

@moocher90 finally 🤞🤞🤞

@salemspot22 welcome!! Im also having a monster long cycle (CD32 here and no sign of ovulation). Annoyingly there isn't much we can do other that wait it out. Keep testing to build a picture.

As an interesting side note. I have read a few studies that seem to think there is a link between inflammation and a delayed ovulation. Im currently mid flare up of something inflammatory (usually effects joints, but my bowls are the focus this time) AND no ovulation... an interesting observation!

I hear you ladies about the Mosh Pit 🤟 ill set up the next bus with an moshing appropriate name 😈

@abi555 your new house sounds like a dream! And I love that you and DH were dancing and singing last night... super cute!

@juno231 still thinking of you xx hope all is ok xx ps. How's that chart looking? 👀

Moocher90 · 15/01/2021 22:35

@FlyingGiraffe I hope I ovulate soon! I’ve had some EWCM today so I hope my body gears up to ovulate in the coming days 🤞🏻

FlyingGiraffe · 15/01/2021 21:21

@Juno231 Sorry to hear you're having a rough time. Hope your Grandparents and Mum are doing ok. x

@Kay00 That drawer is impressive! Mine are like @abi555 and dotted all around the house in different rooms! It's organised chaos! Congrats on the house @abi555 by the way! Enjoy the dancing and bubbles!

@Moocher90 looks like the line is starting to get darker. Fingers crossed you'll get a stronger line tomorrow!

@TheDaydreamBelievers Love the idea of a mosh pit! Haha!

@SalemsPot22 Welcome! I've been relatively lucky having quite regular cycles since coming off the pill (my problem is more spotting, light periods and short lp!) I'm sure some of the other girls will be able to help with advice, but try not to get too down. It's taken my body over seven months to start to settle after the pill.

CD11 for me today - got a flashing smiley today after 3 days of blanks. My cheap opks are still showing just a faint line so think it might be a few days yet. Hoping last month wasn't a one off and i'll peak somewhere around cd13/14 again! My Seven Seas vitamins arrived last night. I took the first one this morning and realised this evening I took 'Thursday's' - I definitely wasn't awake this morning!

SalemsPot22 · 15/01/2021 20:55

I’ve had not even a hint of a line on opks for the last 2 weeks Sad

TheDaydreamBelievers · 15/01/2021 20:52

Hey @SalemsPot22! Have you kept using OPKs since then? My body seems to take a few attempts at ovulating each cycle. So I get a few ramping up of OPKs before the temps eventually agree I've ovulated! Means long cycles generally for me but there are other ladies on this thread who mostly have regulated cycles then have a random long one with late ovulation or which is annovulatory

SalemsPot22 · 15/01/2021 20:17

Hello was asked to join by @TheDaydreamBelievers!

I came off the pill in November and had a normal cycle straight away, ovulated on day 18 then period 2 weeks later.
Now however, I’m on cd36 and still no period and I’m not sure that I ovulated at all. Had a slight rise in LH on the 30th December but that was it, no peak. Feeling so fed up.

abi555 · 15/01/2021 19:48

@Kay00 @MissC07 @Juno231 thanks all!! We've bought a really cute old cottage - has the perfect little room to make a nursery!! (hopefully!)

Me and OH are so ecstatic as our previous purchase fell through a few months ago. Covid has made the house buying/moving situation v stressful!

We have legit been dancing around our kitchen tonight, singing at the top of our voices to reach for the stars and sharing a bottle of bubbles!! Haaaaappy times! :)

@TheDaydreamBelievers mosh pit!!!

@AMS19 haha me too! I bought like a 100 OPK's and 30 pregnancy tests on amazon the other day!

Juno231 · 15/01/2021 19:41

@Kay00 ha we can take turns, I wouldn't lump you with it forever!

@TheDaydreamBelievers oooh I like the thought of a mosh pit!

@abi555 congrats on exchanging!! What kind of home are you leaving /what have you bought?

@Moocher90 today's opk looks stuff is finally happening! Let's hope tomorrow or day after brings you a peak 🤞

OP posts:
MissC07 · 15/01/2021 19:36

@Moocher90 Fingers crossed they'll be getting darker over the next day or so for you🤞

Moocher90 · 15/01/2021 19:32

@MissC07

Done another opk about 30 mins or so ago and it’s was very faint

MissC07 · 15/01/2021 19:24

@Kay00 seeing your stockpile has just reminded me to take my daily tablets - thanks 😂

@Moocher90 have you tried taking one later on today? I'm CD15 today and mine are all saying low on premom and high on femometer. No real change over the last few days though - so frustrating.

@abi555 Congrats on exchanging on your house!! Hopefully all the packing over the next week will keep you busy so you don't think about POAS!

AMS19 · 15/01/2021 19:00

@kay00 is it bad I found that picture impressive and an ambition 😂😂 I currently have exactly 104 pregnancy tests in my flat...

TheDaydreamBelievers · 15/01/2021 18:43

@Kay00 with that kinda stash I definitely think you should be the driver!

So we have had a rave, shall we have another kind of party? A disco? A ceilidh? A mosh pit 🤣?

Kay00 · 15/01/2021 18:31

@abi555 congratulations!! Great news x happy packing!!

abi555 · 15/01/2021 17:43

@Moocher90 looks like it's getting stronger to me than the previous days - but not positive yet

abi555 · 15/01/2021 17:42

@Kay00 haha I love that draw! It looks like mine - except mine is scattered all around the house overtaking every room, pills and random pee pots hidden in all sorts of cupboards haah!

abi555 · 15/01/2021 17:40

@Juno231so sorry to hear about your family. Really hope they make a speedy recovery. Must be so stressful for you, hope you're okay as you can be

@Kay00 @Cams50 hoping for you both O is soon!

@LauraT94 sounds like it's been awful for you, hope you're okay and can rejoin us when you feel up to trying again

I'm 4DPO, nothing much going on, no symptoms (but wouldn't expect there to be right?) Exchanged contracts on our new house today which is just the greatest relief as it's been neeeeeerve-wracking these last few weeks!! Move a week today and I have made a pact with myself not to POAS until we're in our new home! Then if it's BFN I won't be upset as can focus on new house and if BFP we get to celebrate that in our own home!

Kay00 · 15/01/2021 17:37

@moocher90 hmm... odd. Doesn't look particularly high??

Ladies 😆 my bottom drawer is starting to look like a pharmacy 😆 maybe my OH is right... im taking this too far 😂

Moocher90 · 15/01/2021 17:22

@Juno231 I didn’t refresh before writing! Sorry to hear that your nan, grandad and mum are poorly x

Kay00 · 15/01/2021 17:17

Its probably about time I drove a bus... but happy for someone else to have a go, ding ding!

Moocher90 · 15/01/2021 17:16

Not sure what the opk means today....I don’t think it looks particularly high???

Juno231 · 15/01/2021 17:06

Girls who wants to be the bus driver for when this thread ends? And if leaving it to me - start thinking about a thread names for the next one!

OP posts:
Cams50 · 15/01/2021 15:53

@Kay00 I know so frustrating! I hope we both have ovulation or AF soon just to end this torment!!

@TheDaydreamBelievers yep I sympathise with the crazy chart too. Hopefully you’re ovulating now though x

Kay00 · 15/01/2021 13:09

@ams19 I think that's a good idea x
