Post Pill Party - The Mosh Pit !!

As the Post Pill Party fills up, the lights are dimmed and the music drops a beat. The lead singer of this rambunctious band shouts: Mosh Pit!! The ravers all storm for the small space in front of the stage allowing their bodies to dance to the beat however the f* they want!! You go ladies!!

This is the 7th post pill party thread for women whose bodies aren’t quite dancing to the expected rhythm: we have 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!

In the crowd I can see:

That is low @Kay00! I assume no symptoms of hypothermia (mostly kidding!)?

crabette · 22/01/2021 10:43

@MissC07 @ElizabethP141 I do get that it probably is a bit awkward and a turn off for them, the pressure of DTD for baby making lol. But I have limited sympathy too 😂 And my OH is the one asking me, what’s your OPK say, etc, so he does want to know about FW? He is super keen on the actual baby and getting pregnant. Just says he feels pressure physically, as DTD every other day is too much for him, his body can’t handle it. He says it’s age but he’s only 35, so I’m finding it hard not to take it personally to be honest - he thinks it’s normal but I’m trying to sensitively broach that I think most guys of his age would easily handle every other day? Am I being an insensitive TTC dragon? 😳

I’m in a strop now, we’ve had a proper falling out, as after saying no twice he's suddenly decided he's up for it, and it's inconvenient for me now so I've told him to bugger off 😂 Just annoying cos I don’t want to DTD on principle now, but also don’t want to ignore the OPK!

@Kay00 That is an odd temp drop!! Hope tomorrow back to normal!

Kay00 · 22/01/2021 09:44

My temperature did a weird thing today 😕 hopefully just a one off

@MissC07 @crabette

This is so annoying isn’t it and I worry about it causing friction if it takes us a while! My DH has been brilliant to be fair but has said that TTC and having to DTD at certain times makes him feel awkward and pressurised. I know they’re the ones that need to produce the goods but I have very, very little sympathy. Do they not think we feel the pressure to?!!!

MissC07 · 22/01/2021 09:09

@TheDaydreamBelievers I completely agree with lockdown slump. The weather is awful (although the sun is finally out here today) and I'm bored of everything and can't get motivated. It was easier last lockdown with the nice weather and meeting friends outside.

@crabette Sorry your OH is being unresponsive. Mine is the same, I don't think they understand (or want to understand!!) how much we have to go through mentally for it! I was in a strop with mine last week because he was 'too tired' 4 days in a row. I understand they must feel pressured but arghhhh. Your OPK looks really good today! 🤞

Kay00 · 22/01/2021 09:09

@crabette Thats a lovely strong OPK Smile. I find I cannot mention to my OH that I am in my FW or that I have had a positive OPK as he finds it all a bit of a turn off. I have to just pretend that I'm really in the mood - haha, even though he knows whats going on really!

Forgot the pic of the IC OPK!

@Emmgrem your chart is looking brill!! 😍🙏

crabette · 22/01/2021 08:51

@TheDaydreamBelievers I totally know what you mean about the pandemic fatigue. This is definitely worse than the first lockdown, I think the weather plays a part too?

I'm in a funk anyway today as, after 6 cycles of temping and LH testing, my first cycle where I've actually found a peak my OH is "too tired" to DTD. Honestly want to throw things at his head. Mentioned it last night as got CB peak yesterday, he said he was shattered. Fair enough, I know we have been DTD every other day and yesterday was the "day off" if you like! But tried again this morning and he basically said I'm still asleep, come back later, it's too much pressure to perform.

I just feel like I'm the one actually doing all the work here, 6 months of tracking, daily vitamins, etc. It's not like I'm asking him to sacrifice a limb or walk over hot coals or anything! FFS!

Did an IC this morning and I think it's still showing a peak on that too - darkest I've had anyway! So probably later today is fine but now I don't want to DTD with him on principle 😤😂🙈

(Sorry, rant over!)

Emmgrem · 22/01/2021 08:46

8dpo for me and another temp rise 😬🙌🤞

Last month my temps started dropping 9dpo onwards so I won't be too hopeful until then but I think my chart is looking good?

Elsie2021 · 22/01/2021 08:37

Morning guys :) hope you are all okay? We made it to Friday! Woo!

10dpo for me but I’m just feel like AF might be coming :( if it is, I hope it gives me just one more day for a better LP.

Kay00 · 22/01/2021 08:29

@TheDaydreamBelievers hopefully your temperature will shoot back up again for the second part of your LP. IF not then it might just be your body settling back down after your MC xxx

Kay00 · 22/01/2021 08:28

@TheDaydreamBelievers oh yes, I think this lock down has been much harder than the first. In the first lock down it was sunny, novel and a little romantic. This lock down is just dreary Grin. There is nothing to do, I miss my family and I'm longing for a damn cocktail with my girl friends!

TheDaydreamBelievers · 22/01/2021 08:27

Forgot a chart

Post Pill Party - The Mosh Pit !!
Kay00 · 22/01/2021 08:25

@Moocher90 Ah, that's really frustrating, especially when its a critical temperature. I would really just aim to ignore this one. If you have ovulated then your next few temps should be high and the pattern will emerge. I would put in your temp as 36.16 but mark as discard.

OP posts:
TheDaydreamBelievers · 22/01/2021 08:24

I reckon this month is probably a no - temps are on their way down whereas they stayed high for my previous BFP. Only another week to wait and see I guess!

Anyone else generally feeling just so low and crap (not TTC related). Apologies as I know this is not on topic but I just feel so burnt out and like I have massive pandemic fatigue

Cams50 · 22/01/2021 08:16

@Moocher90 so yours probably didn’t rise just because of the bad nights sleep but hopefully it does tomorrow. Sorry third post in a row 🙈😂

Cams50 · 22/01/2021 08:15

@Moocher90 I just had a look at my chart again and it wasn’t until the third day that I got a significant temp rise

Cams50 · 22/01/2021 08:03

@Moocher90 I had to discard one temp for FF to give me cross hairs. It’s all so confusing isn’t it. Bodies are crazy!!

Moocher90 · 22/01/2021 07:59

Yes I’m recording my oral temps on FF which means if it is 36.16 it won’t confirm ovulation and give me solid cross hairs. Recording ovusense temps on premom

Cams50 · 22/01/2021 07:56

@Moocher90 hmmm your oral temp is probably lower because of your nights sleep. You’re keeping a chart with both oral and vaginal temps aren’t you? Can you just record them all? And it should continue to become clearer over the next few days. And then you can always discard that temp later on due to a bad nights sleep

Moocher90 · 22/01/2021 06:38

My vaginal bbt using my thermometer was 36.85 so I really don’t know

Moocher90 · 22/01/2021 05:41

So I went to bed at 21:30 last night and woke up at 1am and took my temp it was 36.14. Didn’t sleep as well after that literally on and off until 5:30 and temp reading was 36.16! Do I use the bbt adjuster. My vaginal reading from my ovusense was 36.48

Nellieee · 21/01/2021 23:42

@LauraT94 sorry I missed your message earlier. Really hope you are feeling better soon. Must be a really tough time for you at the moment 💐

MissC07 · 21/01/2021 22:12

@Moocher90 thank you, I've just checked and both say 25miu. It's really odd and quite a bit of difference. I've attached a photo of the boxes, the new ones are the one on the right.
