Post Pill TTC - Rave on

@chinchilly how many DPO are you?

@robyn101 I think you probably have ovulated, on the 30th. I highly highly recommend you put your temps into the Fertility Friend mobile app, its free and 100% easier to read.

@moocher90 sounds like you are having a bit of a roller coaster cycle. It can be so frustrating when your body that easy to read! Its possible CD9 was your peak, do you have a temperature chart to share?

@ChinChilly so sorry about the bfn 😞 I love your positive outlook though!

@Robyn101 I’m no expert but I still think that looks like you’ve ovulated! Hopefully your temp goes up a bit more tomorrow but I think that looks positive x

@Moocher90 aw sorry that is frustrating 😔 ovulation on cd 9 is certainly a possibility! I don’t suppose this could be ovulation bleeding?

Makes me wonder if I did ovulate on CD9 as that’s the time when I got a high reading and then never got any more after that?!

I’m CD19 today and I’ve just had some red blood when wiping :/ I’m so frustrated as I was hoping for a normal cycle.... I guess I will have to monitor and see if it turns into AF!

I’m sorry it’s not the result you wanted @ChinChilly really good that you’re feeling positive about it all though

Soo... I’m confused. After having three ‘peaks’ the OPKS have settled down after the strongest one but my BBT didn’t really rise a crazy amount. There’s 3 days of it rising but not really high and then it’s slightly dropped this morning. Do you think I’ve ovulated? Am I just crap at temping 😂

@Kay00 @MissC07 thanks both, I’m surprisingly ok about it, I’ve got a lot going on & I want to lose some weight before i get pregnant, and to be honest with my thyroid levels I would be more surprised if it was a BFP

@ChinChilly so sorry 😞

@chincchilly 😔😔😔😔 so sorry

Morning ladies, BFN this morning there isn’t even a shadow of a line so I haven’t bothered with the fake FRER also some cramps and pink CM so I’m guessing AF is on her way 🙄

@ChinChilly would love if it was a BFP for you when you test!! :) it’s hard to not get your hopes up because you want it so badly like the rest of us. Can defo see a line but like you say can’t be sure if it’s an evap or not!! I hope it isn’t x

@juno231 any sign of your fertile week starting yet? I'm still getting negative OPKs, zero fertile CM and my temps are low.

I have been doing a lot of research into Soy Isoflavones... I think I might be a good fit for trying them: im 35+, have irregular cycles and a weak ovulation. If I have another unsuccessful cycle then I think I might give them a go 😬😬😬

😁😁😁😁 eeeekkk! @chinchilly 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Got everything crossed for tomorrow morning @ChinChilly

@MissC07 @Juno231 I don’t want to get my hopes up I’ve only got these tests and a fake FRER from amazon, but I’ve read they are made in the same factory as FRER so I’ll test first thing

@ChinChilly definitely retest in the morning, my eyes are seeing a tinge of colour at the top but it's so hard to tell (also given I'm no expert as I've only ever had the faintest line on an OPK 😂) Fingers crossed for the morning!!!

@glow92 Welcome! I'm now on my first AF since coming off the combined pill after 12 years! I was just using the Flo app to log my symptoms etc until AF arrived. I then bought some OPK's online and now a thermometer too so I can hopefully see what's happening with my cycles on Premom and FF! Good luck with your journey!

Looking at for the 1000000 time I think its more grey than pink 🤔

@Juno231 @Kay00 @MissC07 I’m struggling to pic it up on a pic, but I’ve attached 2 it’s so faint I can’t even tell if it has colour or not 🤔 I’ll retest in the morning but for now I’m taking it as an EVAP.

Ahh well Happy New Year to us! Reset for TTC C9. We've decided if it doesn't happen this cycle then going to speak with GP to get tests started as we've went over the TTC for 6mo + geriatric criteria. My cycles seem to be sitting at 24/25 day timings with peak OPK happening CD16. Baby dust to all. ✨

@glow92 welcome!! Other signs you can look out for that indicate ovulation might be happening are your cervical fluid or the position of your cervix. When your cervical fluid/mucus (CM) is wet or stretchy like egg white then you could be fertile. If your cervix is high, soft and open then you could also be fertile (this second one takes a bit of practice and not everyone is comfortable fishing around up your foof to feel the position of your cervix, but its one hell of a learning curve if you do)!

@chinchilly 🤩 I have never had an evap... does it have a hint of colour?? Will you retest in the morning?

@juno231 haha, hopefully we'll get pregnant and put on loads of pregnancy weight 😅 but I always hoped I would be pretty healthy in pregnancy and eating well and walking lots now should help 😇 i don't want to be like my friend who became addicted to Greggs pasties during pregnancy... she put on about 3 stone and had a 1 stone baby 😳🤣

@Moocher90 I have Ovia currently but I don't feel there's much it can do before first AF.

I may look into temping and a better app to record everything, thank you for your recommendations. No mucus or anything like that.

Just a little about me, I'm 28 and was on Cerelle for 8 years without a period - I'm not expecting miracles overnight but anything I can do to aid the journey I'm keen to get onboard with!

@glow92 yes defo if you start getting any sort of line then just test more often as some people can peak quite quickly.

Also do u use an app to log anything?! A lot of us use fertility friend and premom. You can scan your OPKs in premom and it gives you a %

Have you thought about whether you will temp bbt or not?! Are you monitoring any of your other signs/symptoms, cervical mucus or how high low hard soft your cervix is?!

@Moocher90 hi there! I do have some and have been using them every few days-ish with none showing anything so far - if I saw anything faint I would have tested more consistently everyday to track... I'm a bit new and naive to it all tbh! X

@glow92 I would suggest whilst waiting for AF go show do OPKs to see if you are ovulating xx

Hi all, I hope you don't mind me jumping on here.
I finished with Cerelle on Dec 7th and have been reading many threads on here since, so far no AF or withdrawal bleed. I'm aware it's possible to before first AF so me and my partner have been pretty active... are there any signs of ovulation/cycle returning that I can look out for?
