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!

@mol234 @robyn101 how funny you both had your peak on the same day!! Hopefully you are both now in your first TWW! How exciting!

Im CD12, just waiting on ovulation... no signs yet. DTD every other day just in case (even though I felt like a roast potato when I woke up this morning 😆)

Robyn101 · 26/12/2020 18:52

Oh yay @Mol234 that’s such good news - how weird our body’s seem totally in sync 😅 we BD yesterday anyway and again today so fingers crossed - actually looking forward to my first TWW

Mol234 · 26/12/2020 17:25

@Juno231 @ChinChilly thanks both, really hoping so and fingers crossed for you both also 🤞🏼

ChinChilly · 26/12/2020 17:07

Congrats on the peak @Robyn101

That is one hell of a peak @Mol234 😮 my peaks only used to last a few hours but the last 2 cycles they’ve lingered for a few days I think I prefer them short to be honest!

Premom has me at 4dpo at the mo so not alot going on for me! Hope everybody had a lovely Christmas 🎄

@Mol234 yup some peaks are only a few hours long so hopefully this is it for you! Fingers crossed your temps play ball as well.

Merry Christmas all :)

@MintGreenLife how did the baby announcement go to the family?! Xx

Mol234 · 26/12/2020 15:14

Hey everyone - was on the previous thread but was just waiting for AF to arrive (currently CD 93) - @Robyn101 this is the weirdest thing but I think I had my peak today too! Pic attached. Congrats btw, it was very nice to get that this morning, sure you felt similar.

I’ve just taken another test though and it’s back down to a low reading - is this normal? Worrying that this mornings test was a dud (I guess I’ll see what my temp is saying over the next few days).

Have BD this morning so depending on what my temp is saying this could be my first TWW.

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas Day yesterday 🎄

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas

I’ve had a peak ovulation reading this morning! My very first since stopping the pill in august so time for lots of BD and hopefully I can start regular cycles or BFP 😊

@thedaydreambelievers glad to hear your temperature has returned to base level xx hope you get your rainbow baby soon x 🌈

@kgh5121 🤞🤞🤞 when will you test?

Moocher90 · 24/12/2020 20:40

Who gets sore beasts prior to ovulation?! I dno if I have ovulated yet but my OPKs today have been back to stark white. Will obvs still keep checking over the next few days anyway just in case.

MancMama39 · 24/12/2020 19:28

Ooh new thread!

@MintGreenLife Wonderful news on the scan and so glad all is going well.

CD1 here... another 8 day LP. Definitely didn't plan on taking a FRER Christmas morning or anything... Best just open the Baileys then... Xmas Grin ah well, onto month 3...

Wishing you all a lovely Christmas and sending love to those going through MMCs at this time, been there and it's really tough. Thinking of you Xx

TheDaydreamBelievers · 24/12/2020 18:21

Checking in to the new thread!

Temps are back to my baseline (~36.4) so hopefully this is us ready to start over Smile

Merry Christmas Everyone ❄
