Post Pill Party - The Mosh Pit !!

@ChinChilly @MissC07 sorry I am new to FF and a bit lost with it. Is it okay to put the OPKs under tests/devices? That's where I put them!

@Kay00 what do dinners look like under FODMAP?

@ChinChilly updated chart looks really good and puts you well in the game. Makes sense that you ovulated on day 20 if you got peaks on 18 and 19 plus you covered days -2 and -3. Fingers crossed for you!!

@MissC07 did it change any of your dates? I’m not sure why its pushed ovulation back by 2 days 🤔

@ChinChilly sorry it was BFN this morning although with the new dates you're def still in with a chance! I also followed @Juno231 advice and removed the MON from my FF chart!

@Kay00 that's good your doctor has put you on a FODMAP. I've heard such good thjngs about them once you get past the first few days and your body gets used to it.

@Robyn101if the revised FF chart is correct that means I didn’t time DTD very well for ovulation! Eurgh...sick of TTC now 😂

@flyinggiraffe I completely get it, your chart does look good though so keep going this cycle

@cams50 wow 10 day bleed AF is not giving you a fun time hopefully that slows down now

@Kay00 a temp drop today (attached) at this point I’m thinking very scenic mountains 🤦🏻‍♀️ We’ve been trying to do the SMEP plan which OH is happy about so just keep doing that till something makes sense. That diet sounds crazy restrictive or would be easier to give you a list of what you can eat!

@chinchilly sorry it was a BFN BUT if FF is right and your O was later then your chart is still super positive and you’re definitely not out

I realised what @Juno231 said about the OPKs being in the wrong bit, I had put them in the advanced section instead of standard OPK...it’s moved ovulation from CD14-CD16 what do you guys think? That makes me only 9DPO? 🤔

BFN this morning! 😕 for a hot sec I thought I saw something but I think it was just because I wanted to see something. Kind of expected it but it never gets easier...for some reason I just can’t see it happening for us.

@Kay00 that FODMAP diet sounds horrendous, what can you eat 🥴

@ChinChilly that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re out! Best of luck 🤞🏻

@Cams50 I will be, just sitting in bed with a coffee putting it off tbh, I’ve had some cramps last night and this morning so I’m not hopeful. Had to use and adjuster for my temp again this morning, it’s still high but had dipped a tiny bit.

@FlyingGiraffe the spotting is so annoying isn’t it 😔❤️ I really feel for you. I’ve started b vitamins this month to help with mine. Your chart looks good though!

@ChinChilly tell me your testing today?! 😃

@Gracie2021 that moon cup story is hilarious hahaha you poor thing! Hopefully it worked though 😉🤞🏻

@Kay00 how are you finding the soy isoflavones?

@Juno231 when’s your appointment? Is it Monday?

CD10 here and I’m still bleeding but praying it’s winding down now. I’ve got my 21 day blood test booked it. Tried to book my DH’s SA but they seem to be not doing it at the moment with covid.

@FlyingGiraffe ahh yeah speak to your doctor is your worried, best to put your mind as ease

@ChinChilly Since last May. My FF chart doesn't even look too bad but it clearly isnt going to happen! I'm going to message the doctors next week to ask for some tests.

@abi555 new supplements sounds exciting!

@FlyingGiraffe the spotting sounds odd, how long have you been off the pill now? The angus cactus is worth a try!

I have not just spent half an hour overlay my FF chart on others with BFPs 😂😂

Hi ladies,

I've been lurking too as I've been a bit down with it all - I've been spotting since 2dpo which surely wins the title of worst luteal phase ever?! I'm now 8dpo on CD24, and thinking that proper AF will appear any day now. So gutted as I seem to be going backward in terms of progressing to a longer LP. Last cycle I somehow got to 11dpo without spotting! But this cycle has just been so bad. I think I'll try Agnus Castus for the next cycle as things cant get much worse!

Hope every else is doing well. Congratulations to @MancMama39 and @Elsie2021 for your BFP's! And thank you @Gracie2021 for making me laugh out loud at your moon cup story!

@Robyn101 Hopefully tomorrow's temperature will show a bit more what's going on. Fingers crossed for you

@Gracie2021 hahahah, OMG I love that story!! Thanks for giving me a giggle!

Although you have not entirely put me off as I had never even considered using a mooncup like this for TTC.... has anyone else done this. Considering giving it a go - although forewarned and forearmed for the next morning shenanigans!

@LauraT94 glad to see your tests are finally going towards BFN... fingers crossed it won't be long until they swing back the other way to BFP and you're pregnant again

Not a lot going on here either, AF finished, only CD5 so a while before anything kicks off again. All my new supplements arrived this morning though so I can now happily rattle even more!

Hey ladies,
Still reading and keeping up with all your news and funny stories! I’m popping in and out because there’s just not a lot going on with me at the minute. I’m getting a bit confused because I’ve got completely stark white OPKS but don’t know if my temps are showing something?

@Gracie2021 omg I’ve been laughing out loud to your stories, being asleep with the thermometer up your foof and the stuck moon cup 😂😂😂

@LauraT94 @Juno231 I have looked at the mooncups but to be honest the whole things of getting them up and back out just seems like too much. I lost a tampon up there once that was traumatic enough!

@LauraT94 that’s definitely a negative, it must be such a wierd feeling for you! Hopeing it’s not too long until you get your BFP with a sticky bean!

@Juno231 you were a pioneer. It's great to see so many people going more sustainable these days. I do feel bad about the amount of packaging and plastic from all the OPK's etc 🙈

Your description is quite accurate 😂

Haha loving the mooncup chat! I've been using mine for close to a decade and remember the early days where every now and then I was convinced it would never come back out lol. I never seem to struggle with that anymore but not sure what I'm doing differently!

@LauraT94 haha that's quite a difference in test results!!

@Gracie2021 picturing you sleeping with a thermometer up the foof

@LauraT94 I'd say it's weird thing to be working towards a negative when all you want is the exact opposite. I completely get you about hanging all the goals on "when I'll be pregnant" though. Usually compare goals every January with my friend and this year everything else hinges on pregnancy and timing. It's such a limbo space to be as it affects every other thing you're planning from career to home and travel. Not sure if Covid helps or hinders this as it naturally limits other people too.

Thanks for the tips. It was the relaxing breathing and squeezes that did it in the end but they're not mentioned in most of the guides online. Tbh I was always a pads girl over tampons anyway so am liking the reusable pads and might stick with them but handy to have the mooncup there as backup. I might give myself some emotional recovery time before I try again 😂😂🙈🙈 will give it a miss in relation to DTD in future for certain!!

@ChinChilly @Juno231 it's really weird hoping for a negative, but it's only because I'm hoping so badly for a fresh positive 😂 I'm actually doing ok, feel like my energy and brain function is returning over the past few days! And being back to DTD is helping me feel like we're back to working towards being pregnant again. Though I keep putting stupid goals on 'when I'll be pregnant again' etc. It's hard not to do! I've just done another test on a supposedly 'more sensitive' (10mIU) cheapie and got a stark negative... 🤔🤔🤔 Not sure whether to be happy or not?! Potential causes: false negative, not as sensitive as advertised, less concentrated later morning urine?

@ChinChilly the chart definitely looks a lot better with the adjusted temp!

@Moocher90 your chart is definitely looking interesting! I would agree that it looks anovulatory, purely because there doesn't seem to be any defined higher or lower sections, it looks quite flat. Sorry ❤️

@Gracie2021 your moon cup story has me giggling!! As someone who's been using cups for about 7 years now, and has convinced many friends to convert, I can tell you that the 'next morning panic' is completely normal!! As you sleep and wriggle around it naturally rises higher towards your cervix. Just a tip that generally it should sit a lot closer to the entrance to your vagina, literally as low down as you can comfortably have it! Putting it in too high to start with can cause the issue of it 'dissapearing'. If it happens again (please try again at some point!) then best thing to do is forget about it, go have a cup of tea and do some gentle pelvic squeezes to work it down as you relax. The more panicked you get, the tighter your vagina contracts around your fingers/the cup and it just has a vice like grip on everything! 😂

@crabette I'm not gonna lie, I was picturing some worse case outcomes. Was this close to waking the OH up to help. Can you imagine that start to his day 😂😂🙈🙈

@Gracie2021 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I LOVE this story!! I mean I'm glad you did eventually get it out and didn't need the ED trip! But hilarious!!
