Post Pill Party - The Mosh Pit !!

Chart!

@Kay00 are you going to be the one setting up the new thread soon or do you want to hand over the reins to someone else? We're nearing the end again!

@kay00 Sounds like a good idea to give the iso stuff another round to work and then if it doesn't def speak to a GP about it xx

@LauraT94 I'm planning on not testing until saturday as I'm planning on drinking then. In practice I've never lasted that long but this cycle I'm feeling less hopeful than ever

@Trying4one oh my goodness that's a proper little person in there! Love that you're having a girl, I'd secretly want mine to be as well. Have you started on a nursery at all? What kind of names do you normally like? Traditional, hippy etc?

Someone asked me about my thrush this morning and I forgot to respond. It's aaaalmost gone now I think. Hopefully it won't make a comeback next cycle.

Ah, refreshed my page and missed loads of more messages!

@TheDaydreamBelievers sounds like this is it! We had one of those the day before my predicted O - had forced TTC sex with neither of us really feeling it and it all went wrong! We tried again the next morning and worked much better so I'd say try and jump OH again if you can as it sounds like you're about to ovulate!
It does make it all very unsexy though... we always have a much better time when we're DTD in my non-fertile parts of the cycle!

@Nellieee where are you at in this cycle?

@Trying4one aaaaaaah, so lovely!! congrats!

@LauraT94 I was going to say to you could CD23 be an anomally with mouth breathing as if you take that one out you have a lovely rise all the way from CD19. I would bet on CD19 being O day... but so many different opinions on here as to your chart it looks like it may be a surprise BFP / AF for you! Fingers crossed it's the former!

@Gracie2021 we have given ourselves a few days off too now and feeling so much more positive for it and both our libido's have returned! I find FW so stressful with the planning and pressure-sex that I actually find I dread it. haha, reeeaaaally not a good sign for the potentially long road of TTC to come!!
Your chart is looking ace!!

@Kay00 so sorry you're feeling so deflated. It's a tough slog TTC and can imagine how disheartening an anovulatory cycle must have been. Hugs and keep going; we'll all get there eventually xx

@Juno231 temps are sounding promising!!

@MissC07 your chart was looking excellent previously - how are you doing now?

@Tillybabs oooooh fingers crossed for tomorrow for you

After my rant a few days ago I did finally get a nice temp rise, so am now 2DPO. Just the looooooong TWW to go now! Anyone else a cycle buddy this month?

@crabette I'm not sure I'll be able to convince him into tonight, esp given yesterday was so crap!

@Trying4one I'm so pleased for you!! Such a lovely update ❤️

@TheDaydreamBelievers Get DTD!!!!!

Hi ladies, just catching up and wanted to give some hugs.

@FlyingGiraffe 💔 I'm devastated for you. It's so encouraging that you can see the positives to take those forward, but can't imagine how you must be feeling 😢

@Sperr - My temperatures drop really quickly on BBT charts post ovulation too - like just a few days of noticeably high post O's and then quickly back to cover, I think it's to do with low progesterone. Are you on B Complex Vitamins? I think that helped me a lot to get the BFP.

@Kay00 - I was CD20 before ovulation last month too, so you do still have time this cycle? But I get why you're feeling low, and it's defo worth raising with your GP to see if they'll take it forward - I think even just knowing that you're trying something different or pursuing a different route helps the mindset?

@Trying4one that’s so lovely, congratulations xx

@Cams50 funnily enough my bloods will be around 7dpo so in theory 21 days bloods. But yeah definitely ask for the results, my GP has an online thint where you can log and view them once they’re back which is good.

@Trying4one beautiful scan, so glad everything is going well!

@TheDaydreamBelievers TTC does seem to have that effect sometimes it’s literally just having sex for the sake of it because it’s the correct cycle day

My temperature has dropped like a stone but my OPK is now near positive... maybe about to ovulate?

@minipilling funnily enough, we also had one of those DTDs last night that was hugely unsuccessful (angles somehow all wrong, he got cramp, could hear neighbours so much) and resulted in pretty much exactly what you describe where, ahem, the semen hit the entrance rather than the target. Wasnt even sure whether to count it in the chart!

To be honest I felt v deflated about it - a bit like now TTC has managed to make sex truly unsexy.

@Trying4one glad all is going well

@Juno231 thanks! Always good to get your eyes on these 😜 36.9 sounds fab! Will you test or wait for AF?

@Kay00 hmmm another different opinion... 😂 Tbh I'm at the point of wishing AF to just arrive so I get a fresh cycle as I've no idea what the fuck is going on 😂 I'm sorry you're feeling so deflated! I can understand your frustration. I'm really hoping something happens soon for you!!

@Trying4one congratulations!

I'm excited for those who are testing this weekend!

@Cams50 yeah I have started buying outfits, I can't help myself. The fact I managed to wait until 20 weeks is somewhat of a miracle 🤣 we have started to have a think about names but no shortlist as of yet 😊 x

@ChinChilly I got my cd21 blood test this morning so I’m 100% going to ask for the specifics this time and then probably Google everything intensely after that 😂

@Juno231 that’s strange you haven’t had to fill anything out or they didn’t tell you to bring your DH. Hopefully it goes ahead.

@Kay00 I’m so sorry. So frustrating, especially with the soy isoflavones. I don’t know much about them but maybe it’ll take a couple of cycles for them to work? And there’s still time! You’ve ovulated quite late before haven’t you? So CD20 is still relatively early. But definitely contact your GP and I agree with ChinChilly, if you can afford it then why not go private. I 100% would and may have to at some point. I’ve started saving but I’ve got enough for the initial consultation and that’s it 🤣

@Trying4one aw huge congrats!! So exciting. Have you thought of girl names? Now you can start buying cute outfits and everything 😍

@Tillybabs I feel like I see a line too!! Fingers crossed for you for tomorrow

Hi ladies
I have a update for you. I had my 20 week scan last week and I am expecting a baby girl ❤️ she is growing well and everything is looking good.

I am trying to read through the posts and see if anyone else has got their BFP 🤞

@Gracie2021 @Juno231 your charts and temps are looking good! I'm still temping too just so I get a good idea of what's going on. My OH now asks me every morning if my temp has gone up 😂 I also had my first morning in over a week of not getting up at 3.30am to wee!! Other than that, my back is still sore and I get the odd twinge but I'm not taking it as anything. When are you ladies planning on testing?

@Kay00 I'm sorry you're feeling so deflated. Sending you a virtual hug x

@FlyingGiraffe I'm so sorry to see about your CP. So good that you are taking some positives from it though. Take good care of yourself 💐

Thanks ladies. I don’t want to get my hopes up as still feel like AF is coming so I will do the Frer if nothing comes tomorrow morning.

I rid see a very faint line but I’ve not taken these tests before so I sure if that’s normal.

@Kay00 how long have you been off the pill now? I’m sorry you feel deflated. I felt like that this month especially because I too had some thrush.

If you have had regular ovulation I wouldn’t feel too deflated. You might have just missed it or it’s on the way

@Kay00 I get the whole feeling deflated about TTC I feel like I’m just plodding along until we get to the 12 month mark. Definitely speak to your GP, I think it always depends on what kind of doctor you get my last GP was a right cow but this one seemed really nice. I’d definitely go private if I could afford to, if you can afford it go for it 100% you’ll get your answers much quicker. Remind me how long have you been TTC now?

@Gracie2021 @FlyingGiraffe thank you (and everyone else) for your messages. I don’t know why I was in such a panic yesterday but I feel much better today. Diet was well and truly ruined 😂.

I wasn’t going to take my temp today but I woke up at the same time naturally and thought what the hell why not and it’s gone up again. We DTD last night so if my ovulation was now at least there is a tiny chance that we caught it. I might go again tonight for good luck.

OH being really good - I think I might have scared him and said that he should consider having his sperm tested so he’s done a load of research and is basically going to start being kind to his sperm 😂😂😂😂. Changing his diet, exercising more and not so many hot baths!

@Tillybabs oh fingers crossed the FRER comes up stronger tomorrow!

@LauraT94 I'd say CD23 looks likely with a slow rise afterwards :)

@Gracie2021 @MissC07 Temp went back up today to 36.9 (I'll attach the chart at some point) but RHR dropped by one 1bpm. Trying to ignore it all best I can as I just know it won't amount to anything.

@Cams50 appointment is on the 11th - IF it takes place . It appears to be with a completely different hospital now? And they never had us fill in any forms beforehand the way most others seem to have to. Plus they haven't actually told us to bring OH which is ridiculous cause I'm pretty sure that if I didn't know and didn't bring him - the appointment wouldn't be able to go ahead!

Oops didn't finish.

@ChinChilly haha I'm at a loss too! Don't know what to think.

@Tillybabs I did feel like I could see a shadow of a line on the test but I didn't want to say anything because I've never used that brand before so I don't know what's normal for them! Hope FRER gives you your answer either way ❤️

@Gracie2021 oooh do you reckon?? That would be good I feel like we DTD more around CD19 so that would give us better chances haha!

Out of curiosity I went and added the EWCM back in as i definitely did have it those days. And I marked the really low temp of CD23 as an anomaly in case I was sleeping with mouth open! And it changed crosshairs again to CD20... 😂
