Post Pill TTC - Rave on

Hey @Rmd123 you might not have actually ovulated when you think you did. Unless you get a peak OPK and temp shift it’s hard to confirm it. I’ve had multiple LH surges but weren’t actually peaks so I wasn’t ovulating. I’d see how the next few days of your AF goes abs then hopefully you ovulate in the next couple of weeks.

@Robyn101 that sounds really stressful, hope you don’t end up losing too much money. So many people have been affected this year with weddings being cancelled it’s such a nightmare. I got engaged in Nov but I’m kinda put off booking anything yet.

Not a lot going on here, I’m 4DPO (have had a good temp rise past few days so pretty sure I ovulated - chart attached). Had sore boobs the past few days but seems to have subsided a bit now!

Hi all!

So what I thought was a light bleed is starting to look more like a full blown period (heavier, red, clots)

I had a withdrawal bleed after I finished my pill on the 17th of dec so I'm assuming this is maybe a real period?

I don't know if I should start today as CD1 because I ovulated 4 days ago? If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it xx

Last year not night* 😂 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hi ladies,

Lots of very impressive new year health kicks happening! I’ve walked a bit but seriously need to ramp it up. We’ve still got chocolate and stuff left from Christmas which I can’t stop eating but once that’s done I’m going to be good. I hope lol.

CD 16 here but still no ovulation but my AF was really long this cycle so think that’s delayed everything. Hopefully I ovulate in the next few days 🤞🏻

@Robyn101 I understand the stress! We postponed our big wedding last August and got married with just a few guests but we’re meant to have 100 this summer but not sure if that will happen so will probably end up postponing the ‘big wedding’ again. They were very understanding last night but not sure if they’ll let us again but obviously we don’t want another small wedding so we need it to be the full amount to go ahead and make it financially make sense etc etc which is also why we started ttc when all this started last year as waiting for the wedding is just so uncertain. Hope you get it sorted x

@Elsie2021 I also know what you mean 😂 convinced I’ve EWCM but I think it’s just remnants of the night before 😂😂

@ChinChilly I want to try these magic pills now 😂 I take pregnacare so I’m sure they’re not really very different and won’t magically make me pregnant but they might save me some money at least!

@Rd123 think I just had the one withdrawal bleed but I’ve certainly had short LPs but then that doesn’t sound like what you’re having if yours are normally heavy. Hmm maybe just some pill hormone working itself out of your body or something. Hope your cycles settle soon x

@Elsie2021 I find the same when trying to figure out CM after DTD. I still have no idea how to tell the difference 🙈

@Juno231 good luck for your 2ww!

@Robyn101 I'm sorry you are feeling stressed. I've known a few people have had to cancel and move weddings and I can't even imagine how awful it must be. I really hope it works out.

5DPO for me and not a lot going on, temps are still steady. Had an interview today, I've been really stressed about it, I hate interviews, enough I kept considering cancelling it. But so glad I did it and it is over. Now I want a takeaway tonight as a reward, sod the diet 😆

@Elsie2021 I know exactly what you mean 😂 I'm only CD6 today so there's noway it can be EWCM but I still was staring at it for a good minute 😂

@Rmd123 I only had my usual withdrawal bleed after stopping the pill. Then a really light AF 40 days later.

@Juno231 if ovulation did occur and this is a small withdrawal bleed from the pill is there a chance of getting pregnant this month? So hard to keep track!!

@Juno231 I was using CB OPKS which were flashing smiley faces for 2 and a half days and I had ovulation pains. After suspected ovulation I did another OPK and it was low fertility which I though had meant I ovulated. I had copper coil in for 5 years and only had it taken out in July then went on the pill in august so I was used to the ovulation and period pains I'd get every month. I also had EWCM which stopped 2 days ago.

It could be AF but even on the pill and coil my boobs would be so sore I'd have to wear a bra to bed and they would grow almost a cup size! I always get heavy periods/withdrawal bleeds which is leading me to think this isn't AF.

I have 3 apps tracking my period and ovulation so maybe I'll edit one to say I got my period today and try OPKS in 2 weeks?

Hi everyone. Did anyone every experience a an extra withdrawal bleed when they finished their pill? I finished mine on the 17th December and had my usually 4 day withdrawal bleed.

Now I'm 4 DPO after using OPKS to track it and I'm bleeding? Not as heavy as a period but not light enough to be implantation and too early. Does anyone know what this is? Thanks!

@Sperr my RHR drops slowly the day or 2 before AF then literally falls off a cliff once it starts! Im interessted how apple does the RHR compared to fitbit.

@Elsie2021 I totally get what you mean about the CM sometimes I dunno it its EWCM or left over jizz 😂😂😂

CD13 for me. Not a lot happening.

DTD last night. Sorry if TMI, but with DTD so often I’m finding reading my CM difficult! Don’t know if it’s me or him 😂 seems more watery today but can’t be sure!

Low OPK today though. Was actually 26% which femometer reads as high but still seems very faint and I always tend to get a bit of a line.

@Juno231 🤞 for you! Maybe the post O BD was the ‘lucky bang’ you need!

@Robyn101 sorry to hear about your wedding 😞 must be such a stressful time! I know we’re back in lockdown which feels like a step back, but I think we will be coming out of it in a better position than we have been in a long time. So you might be okay 🙂 I just hope they get on with these vaccines ASAP!

@ChinChilly my RHR is being kind to me this time and has dropped a little today so I know AF is coming in the next couple of days. It’s actually weirdly low but I don’t know if that’s because Apple is different to Fitbit again!

@Robyn101 I feel you! We cancelled our wedding last June and rebooked got June but we have already decided to move it again a year- I’m too scared to ask the venue and really hoping my OH will do it 😂. They were really nice about it before so I think they will be fine with it. My worst person to deal with was my hen do accommodation. I will feel so bad if everyone loses their money for the accommodation. It was only about £200 so it could be worse.

Thanks @chinchilly @juno231 @missc07

Highly unlikely I get a BFP I think just crazy stressed which I can’t imagine is a good process for my body at the best of times. And my temps seem to be haywire dropping below cover line and stuff too (attached)

@Missc07 we looked over the contracts yesterday and it’s probably going to be a fight to get our money back unfortunately, I have wedding insurance but again that doesn’t really cover government restrictions. I’m going to drop the venue and insurance an email today to try and get some clarity. This was already the 3rd date we’ve had because of all of this sh*t

@Juno231 I would love to have a smaller wedding - just not at the cost of the bigger wedding we planned seems a bit of a liberty 😂

@Kay00 It was snowing in the West midlands this morning, coming down really heavy at one point seems to have stopped now.

@MissC07 my pup loves the snow, but I have to have admit I have spent a few days ‘working’ from bed snuggled up with him!

@Robyn101 sorry your feeling stressed...hopefully this month is a BFP for you!

@Robyn101 Sorry to hear your stressed, it's such an awful time. Will you be able to get any money back from the venue or suppliers if you move it? My friend had to move hers from May last year, to September and they are now doing a much smaller thing in August this year as she was fed up of moving it.

@ChinChilly We've got snow too! Our 5 month old puppy was not impressed when I let her out for a wee this morning! So we've both come back upstairs and I'm currently 'working' from my laptop in bed 😂 Will try and go for a walk later when it's supposed to be sunny!

Hey guys,
Sorry for being awol I’ve still been reading just mega stressed
I’m 7DPO I think, nothing major going on a bit of cramping but could just be AF getting ready for it’s first appearance in over 100 days 😂

The announcement has meant I’m now worried about going back on furlough and I’ve got a decision to make on whether to cancel our wedding (May) or try and hold out. Either way I’m probably going to lose a ton of money 🤦🏻‍♀️ Or not get the wedding we planned

Kinda just hoping I get a BFP and can fuck the wedding off at this point

Hope everyone’s doing well with the start of the new year

@Juno231 my temp rises are never very high but are usually at 36.3 on day after ovulation, so this might just be a false alarm.

Fingers crossed this good luck BD is what you needed all along

@ChinChilly oh wow! Snowing?! I'm down on the South Devon coast where it is sunny but about zero degrees ... so cold! I'll be wrapping up warm for my run tonight! Your lunch sounds delicious by the way! Mmm!

@Kay00 it’s definitely soup weather today...snowing here!! I’ve got weetabix for breakfast and I’m thinking maybe roasted veg, falafel & houmous for lunch! 🤔 I’m just trying long walks at the moment, I used to do long distance running at school many moons ago, couldn’t do it now! Hoping to get the weights back out once my back is feeling abit better!

@Daisychainsandsunshine Welcome!

Good luck!!! to those of you trying Seven Seas! I have been using them for 5+ months now, and no miracle for me.

@nellieee Sorry you'e feeling deflated. I have used pre-seed which is the same as conceive plus, but my problem is working out when my most fertile days are. So although I have used it, I have never used it during my FW haha, and yes, I had to literally syringe it up there! not very sexy

@chinchilly damn! That desert sounds like a dream! I have to admit my 'diet' has been pretty half arsed... until today. Today is the day I turn my life around - haha! This morning I have had 1 x weetabix + fruit (instead of 2 x weetabix + sugar) and I have soup (no bread) for lunch (instead of cheese and crackers). And I'm going running after work with a friend (socially distanced of course).

@juno231 I'm worried you might have been right... maybe I missed my peak. Again!! I don't know how I manage to miss it so often?? I have had a temp increase... not a high one, but we'll see where it goes over the next couple of day

@Nellieee good to see you back, the seven seas are in a little purple box, I think they’re called trying for a baby. I’ve never used concieve plus but I think a few of the others have!

Hi @Daisychainsandsunshine welcome, I was really lucky with my first withdrawal bleed it came after about 3 weeks off the pill then I just popped into a regular cycle, but lots of the ladies on here waiting a while for a withdrawal bleed and thier cycles were all haywire which I think is pretty normal. I use premom in terms of apps and recording data, it scans any ovulation tests in and gives you a reading.

Another drop on the RHR, honestly my RHR gets more dramatic every month 😂 my thermometer should be arriving today!
