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:

@abi555 Oooooh yeah I've heard vivid dreams as a symptom too. Fingers crossed no AF and for another high temp tomorrow!

@Kay00 Thanks - I've just ordered a B Complex online for delivery tomorrow - can't find one with as high doses as yours lol but seems to be 10mg B6 and 25ug B12, which looks like it'll top up my pre-conception vits a fair bit! Will start taking tomorrow and see how that goes - my luteals are normally about 10 days, so don't think it's medically classed as short but right on the border so I worry it's having an effect!

Kay00 · 21/01/2021 13:44

@abi555 ooh... fingers crossed AF doesn't show!!

@crabette I was only taking the B-Complex after ovulation, but I am going to start taking it all the way through the cycle. Other ladies (including Juno) take it throughout. I take a B Complex on top of the B vits in my pre-conception multi vitamin, so i'm getting a super dose of the B12 (500ug) and B6 (100mg). I think the Complex is important for helping you absorb the B12. Honestly, it worked on the first cycle I used it and I haven't had a whiff of a short LP since!

@abi555 I think that all sounds pretty promising! I’ve heard disturbed sleep and vivid dreams is a symptom! Fingers crossed for you 🙂

abi555 · 21/01/2021 13:14

@ChinChilly sounds horrendous!! Really hope you start to feel better soon!

@crabette woooo for peak reading!! I'm sure you can convince OH haha!

abi555 · 21/01/2021 13:08

@Elsie2021 Fingers crossed that is implantation and not AF coming for you!

TWW update 10DPO - I'm completely confused by my body today!! Absolutely convinced I was out and AF was coming yesterday (to the point that I booked my covid vaccine and ordered a load of new TTC supplements). Had tiny amount of spotting, low + hard cervix and very dry CM yesterday. Woke this morning expecting temp to have plummeted and it's actually gone up! 36.67 -> 36.81. So no idea what to think now!

I did have a bit of a disturbed night as had such a vivid dream of my bedroom mirror tickling me that I jerked awake and semi-screamed and scared my OH half to death ahhahaha! So maybe that accounts for the temp rise.

Will just have to wait and see what happens I suppose! Testing saturday am, but will probably have AF before then.

crabette · 21/01/2021 13:01

Just checking in ladies - hope you recover soon @ChinChilly 😢 Can't believe we've got a COVID BFP!

I'm on CD19, and after EIGHT days of "high" CB OPK results, I've finally got a peak today!! So will get BDing, though my OH says he's knackered from the past 8 days as it is 🙈

I've not temped at all this month, but think will try the next few days to see if I can see a confirmed rise or if my temps are in my post-O range.

Next challenge is luteal length... @Kay00 what B vits are you taking? And are you taking them full cycle length? I'm taking pregnacare atm which already has B12 in, but not sure if I'm missing something?

Elsie2021 · 21/01/2021 12:58

9dpo today. Got some back and tummy ache. Hoping it’s implantation but panicking because I’ve had an 8 day LP before and I really don’t want to be going backwards :(

How are the other TWWers feeling?

ElizabethP141 · 21/01/2021 12:48

@ChinChilly sending good vibes for getting well soon!!

How long does everyone’s EWCM last? I’ve got the start of some today. OPKs progressing but still definitely negative so just curious to know!!

Cams50 · 21/01/2021 08:29

@ChinChilly your chart is looking great! Hopefully you’re over the worst of it. Fair play for powering through with DTD during covid. That’ll be quite the conception story if you get your bfp this month!! 🤞🏻😂

ChinChilly · 21/01/2021 08:13

Hi all,

Thank you for all your well wishes!

@Kay00 that’s hilarious about your sister and the salad, I find I’m not eating much because well what’s the point 😂 plus I’m still vomitting so whatever goes in doesn’t tend to stay in.

@Cams50 I’m ok, thank you asking. It seems to come in waves so one minute I’ll feel fine the next I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus. The brain fog is real aswell 😂 When I think back I think I actually had the worsen of it over the weekend and didn’t realise

Covid doesn’t seem to have effected my temps apart from that one rouge temp so I’ve been keeping up with the BBT

Cams50 · 21/01/2021 08:01

@Juno231 thanks. Yeah I might try calling them. I feel bad as I know how busy they must be at the moment. I guess I can see what they say.

@ChinChilly how are you feeling today?

Juno231 · 21/01/2021 07:56

@Cams50 nah - all you have to say is that you considered going back on it but then didn't or that you planned on going on holiday and wanted to skip a period but didn't or whatever. If it makes you feel uncomfortable though you've got nothing to lose in just having a call with your gp and expressing your concerns?

Cams50 · 20/01/2021 22:34

@Juno231 thanks. I think they’d know from my last pill prescription that it hasn’t been the year yet. Oh well. We’ll see what the next few cycles bring 🤞🏻

Juno231 · 20/01/2021 22:28

@Cams50 I went at the 7 cycle mark but stressed the early menopause history in my family and they seem to have progressed from there as if I'd passed the year mark. I know others just say it's been a year if they're worried something is wrong so maybe you can just go ahead and do that?

Cams50 · 20/01/2021 21:25

@Kay00 thanks ❤️ I know I need to chill out. I did try B vitamins very briefly but then I stopped taking them. Not really sure why. I think between taking that and pregnacare I was worried I was overdoing it on b vitamins but think I probably need that at this stage! Hope your inflammation symptoms have eased a bit x

Kay00 · 20/01/2021 20:46

@ChinChilly oh no!! Get better soon!! My sister had Covid and lost her sense of smell and taste... she loved it because the only thing she liked to eat was salad... and she has lost a stone and a half in weight, she calls it the best diet ever Grin. In all seriousness though, I hope your symptoms don't get any worse xx

@cams50 I was having very short LP until I started taking a B-Complex vitamin with an additional B12 top up, and now my LP are all 11 days+. Don't count today as CD1 just yet, wait to see what tomorrow brings x

Cams50 · 20/01/2021 19:28

So I’ve just had some bleeding. I’m only 7dpo. This is my worst lp yet. I know it doesn’t necessarily mean fill AF as it’s more spotting but I do get spotting every time before AF plus my temp drop today. Feeling super fed up. Do I call this CD1 or no?

@Juno231 I know you’re seeing the fertility specialist. Did you get bloods etc done before the one year mark? Do you think I should get onto my GP again or is there no point until it’s been a year.

@FlyingGiraffe that must be ovulation pains!! Exciting x

abi555 · 20/01/2021 19:02

@Flowers222 aaaah, thank you! I have changed the settings and now I have dots instead of triangles Grin

FlyingGiraffe · 20/01/2021 18:23

@Cams50 @MissC07 @Moocher90 Thanks! Daffodil I've been getting what I think are ovulation pains all day. It feels like my insides are on fire - im not sure that's the best way to describe it but it's definitely a weird feeling!

@Moocher90 - That's great you got a temp rise this morning. I tested with a IC opk last night and this morning (as well as the clearblue digital...I obviously like poas!) - it was an even stronger line this morning so I'm hoping I get a rise tomorrow morning.

@ChinChilly Hope you feel better soon!

@TheDaydreamBelievers I'll be joining the TWW soon I think! It's so nice to talk to people in the same boat isn't it! Definitely don't think you're out this month.

Keeping my fingers crossed for some BFP's in this group soon!

Nellieee · 20/01/2021 16:25

@ChinChilly so sorry about your covid result. Sucks. Vomiting sounds awful too. Maybe it's the variant. Get better soon! At least it explains your recent wild temps!!

@abi555 hope it's not your period!! I'm due on on Monday too. Meh.

Cams50 · 20/01/2021 13:59

@Juno231 thanks! Yeah hopefully it’s just that and it goes back up tomorrow. I started spotting last cycle at 8dpo so I think that’s made me more nervous. I’m praying for a longer lp this time. This longest I had is 12dpo but that was just one cycle. At least your AF is properly here so you know where you stand and can get it over with!

@ChinChilly oh no 😞 so sorry to hear that! Hope you feel better really soon!

@abi555 I think anything under 21 days is considered short so 21 or above should be fine and I’m sure they will lengthen. But you’re not out til AF arrives so fingers crossed! Your temp might go back up tomorrow!

Moocher90 · 20/01/2021 13:49

@abi555 my last cycle was 19 days 😳 was not good.

Flowers222 · 20/01/2021 13:48

@abi555 I put my OvuSense temps into FF too. You can change the settings to say you use a wearable device so then it doesn't matter what time you input them. It's under general charting setup > temperature settings > temperature method. Gets rid of all those triangles!

TheDaydreamBelievers · 20/01/2021 12:43

@abi555 just to check - do you tell FF that they were all taken at the same time of day? If not, it allocates the time the temp was taken as the time you input it to the app, and that creates uncertainty in its algorithm.

@KGH5121 sorry I missed your BFP, congratulations!

abi555 · 20/01/2021 11:35

@Emmgrem aaaaah, I wondered why I had a dotty line instead of a solid one! - okay, will add in the OPK results, thanks!!

I vaginally temp with ovusense, but then add them into FF randomly whenever I remember in the day so the temps should be accurate even though they are added at different times.

Fingers crossed for a more regular cycle next month then!
