Post Pill Party - The Mosh Pit !!

@ChinChilly yeah your body was fighting a virus so that’s totally understandable. And don’t worry I’ve been having a pity party the last 12 days 😂

@Cams50 I think having regular cycles is adding to my confusion, I keep forgetting I had COVID I think it’s because I didn’t really suffer with it.

Thanks ladies, I always seem to have a pity party when it dawns on my AF is coming

@ChinChilly I think you’re fine. Your cycles are regular and your chart looked great so you’re not even totally out and I know it’ll happen for you soon. Don’t be too hard on yourself sure you had bloody covid this month!!! No wonder xxx

@MissC07 I am abit of a control freak and I like to know whats going on 😂

@Cams50 I’m glad I’m not the only one, I feel quite anxious about getting to the 1 year mark 😬

@Flowers222 @Juno231 I’ll have a think about not tracking anything this cycle but I think curiosity may get the better of me. AF hasn’t turned up but she’s definitely about to rear her ugly head I think. @Juno231 how are you feeling about your appointment tomorrow? Hope it all goes well!

@Juno231 yeah it’s so annoying. I had some checks a couple of years ago because I used to spot a lot on the pill but they didn’t find anything so my doctor doesn’t seem to think it’s a problem. He thinks it’s regular for me. But everything I read says over 10 days is really bad. But yeah I pretty much have this very cycle and I was hoping it would settle with time but doesn’t seem to be. But it makes me think it has to be my hormones?! Like short lp with long bleeding like that’s got to be low progesterone or something so hopefully these blood tests show something. Could you hold now and test again in a few hours? I guess if it drops tomorrow this was your peak and you’ll know by your temps?

@ChinChilly I'm so sorry about AF :( it's not a bad idea to try not to track and see if it makes you feel any more relaxed next cycle.

@Gracie2021 my bet is that today is the day and hence the little dip! You're certainly covered BD wise so don't worry about trying it again today and exacerbating your cyst.

@cams50 day 12?! Wth is this

Had an opk nearing peak today just now but am paranoid it would have come up as peak had my wee not been so diluted 🙊

@ChinChilly I’m sorry about that AF is on its way 😔 sooo frustrating, especially when your chart looked so promising. I totally get it. I’m starting cycle 10 and I honestly feel it’ll never happen for me.

@FlyingGiraffe how are you getting on? I’m on my 12th day of bleeding/AF/spotting (?) and I’m going insane. Praying this will be the last day as I’ve never had for as long as this before but who knows....

@MissC07 wow I’ve never seen a peak as dark as that! Sorry about the cyst though ☹️ That sounds painful.

@Flowers222 taking a break sounds good. My plan is to try until April when I hit the year mark and then try a month of no tracking, no supplements bar folic acid and see

@ChinChilly if tracking would mean less stress then definitely do that 🙂 you need to do what is best for you! I think as I have been obsessively tracking everything for over 8 months now a short break did me good as it was getting unhealthy and stressing me out more. But now I am in my FW I am tracking again as I want to know what is happening too! I don't ovulate until about cd22 which gave me a bit of time.

@MissC07 I have definitely been there! Google is a black hole to fall down so I would try not to worry and be happy it looks like you are having a strong ovulation!

@Flowers222 @ChinChilly I was really shocked when I did both today! The line came up as soon as took it out the pee! Of course I'm now googling that things are wrong with me..!

@ChinChilly try to be kind to yourself, you've only just started temping and I think testing can also be a good thing as if you're like me you'll want to be in control and know what's going on rather than be stressed not knowing what's happening (even if you get results you might not want to see 😞). It's such a rollercoaster. Make sure you order an extra large dessert!! 🍰

@MissC07 OH is on the snack raid and suggested we order a dessert tonight 😂 that peak is super dark! Wow I’ve never seen one that dark!

@Flowers222 I’ve thought about taking a break from tracking but I’m not sure if it would stress me out not knowing what was going on. I always feel really down once I know AF is coming, I’ll be ok once AF is over and done with.

I feel like we’ve been trying forever and in the grand scheme of things it hasn’t been that long but I’ve just got this horrible gut feeling it’s not going to happen for us 😕

@ChinChilly it is really hard and it's easy to let it get you down ☹️ it hit me really hard last time af appeared so I have taken 2 weeks of no tracking, no apps and just tried to forget about it and I am feeling a lot better for it. Just take some time for yourself, pamper and treat yourself! Hope you feel better soon xx

@MissC07 that is a peak! I've never seen such dark lines!

@ChinChilly So sorry it's getting you down. Make sure you raid the treat aisle in the supermarket and have a nice bath too.

@Gracie2021 Those sound so painful! I've only been temping this month too so can't help too much with the chart. Sorry. Just keep trying to temp at the same time every day and it should show a pattern or give you a clearer picture.

So after I thought I peaked yesterday I clearly hadn't as my OPK's have gone really dark now. Wondering whether to just try and face the pain and DTD this evening or just take this month as a write off

@Flowers222 @AMS19 thanks both! I’m running out of positivity over here 😞

@MancMama39 oh sorry had missed you got your BFP. Huge congratulations!!

So sorry @ChinChilly 👎 fingers crossed for the next cycle ❤

@ChinChilly I'm sorry 😞 it was looking so promising.

@MissC07 oh no! UTIs are never fun and that is really bad timing.

@Gracie2021 sorry you haven't seen a temp rise yet. Temping is just to confirm whether you do ovulate or now as OPKs only tell you that you might ovulate not that you will. I have had a positive OPK and not ovulated until 3 days later so you still might get a temp rise! But at least you have bd for the last 2 days so if you don't today you should still be covered if ovulation is today.

@Gracie2021 ouch about the cyst! Keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🏼

@ChinChilly yeah I thought the same but don't think it's happening today tbh. Think I was lucky to get the last couple days before this stupid cyst starting properly acting up. Fingers crossed something caught anywa ly🤞

@Gracie2021 I’m not sure about your chart 🤔 I’ve only just started temping and my chart changed its self so I’m not even sure what DPO I am anything between 11-13. Maybe DTD to cover yourself just incase

@ChinChilly I feel you Chinchilly, it's all ups and downs and it sucks when you get your hopes up. Get some nice fancy bubble bath too abs have a good soak. That's my therapy for AF these days. Mind yourself x

@Kay00 @MissC07 @Robyn101 @Gracie2021 thanks all, I feel super deflated actually. The TTC malarky is starting to get to me. It feels like I stopped my pill a life time ago and nothing. No treats in @Gracie2021 but I’ll head to the supermarkets today, some may say it’s not essential but it bloody is to me 😂

@AMS19 @TheHotelCalifornia thinking if you both. So glad that you have support xx

@Juno231 hope everything goes well tomorrow. Great to be able to move forward with it.

@MintGreenLife congrats on the scan and new home. Exciting times ahead. Hope you stay well! @MancMama39 massive congrats and fingers crossed all progresses nicely for you!

@ChinChilly so sorry to see the temps going down. Hope you have some treats lined up if AF does rear her ugly head x

@MissC07 god you poor thing and the timing. I'm actually with you on that. Have been getting bartholin cysts around ovulation time since coming off the pill. Hit peak fri Eve here and got another Bartholin cyst started Friday morning. Been pushing through Friday and Saturday but it's punishing me for it today 🙈 plus temps aren't rising at all so I'm thinking we should be DTD today as well just in case it's a slow ovulation or something but even the thought of it now isn't going over well!

Wondering what anyone thinks of the chart? It's my first month temping and I'd thought I should be starting to see a temp rise by now. Took temp three times in a row this morning as I was convinced it was bringing up yesterday's by accident. Convinced I ovulated as OPK's were spot on and hit peak Friday plus had a couple other signs yesterday. Debating stopping temps and OPK's for the rest of the month abs just seeing if AF comes.... is the purpose of temping past this point just to confirm ovulation? I just find I get in my head too much for the TWW and wonder if it would be best to just ignore it all instead 🤔

@DLC05 Honestly there isn’t any magical cute unfortunately. I got to CD137 before AF reared her face.

Have you had a withdrawal bleed?

Doctors are all a bit temperamental some will see you early, some won’t even look at it until 3 months, my doctor told me to wait 6 months(!) luckily it came back on its own. I did take Seven seas Trying for a baby from around CD98, could be a pure coincidence but I ovulated late that month and then AF came so worth a try

Just keep taking temps and OPKs and unfortunately wait 🤦🏻‍♀️🤞🏻 Fingers crossed you don’t rack up to some of our bigger numbers

@ChinChilly arghh that sucks 😔

Thanks @Kay00 @ChinChilly

@MancMama39 I thought I saw you had gotten your BFP! Hope everything goes well for you xx

@ChinChilly Oh no I'm sorry 😞

Finally got my peak at CD30 yesterday, have woken up this morning with what I think is the start of a UTI. So that rules any BD out today 😫
