Post Pill Party - The Mosh Pit !!

Thank you all for your support. I literally cried the whole way to work in my car and I’ve been trying to hold it together all morning.

My RHR has dropped as well today- all I can think is I want to go home and DTD so I’m not completely out this month 😞.

I really thought temping would make it easier but now I’ve stopped DTD where as I would keep going and I completely regret it

@kay00 btw there's a big indian religion called Jain where they can't use onion or garlic so you should check out some of their recipes :) Also, asofoetida is a good garlic/onion substitute in those cuisines!

@Kay00 I’m not surprised you didn’t enjoy it with no gravy! Funnily enough the GP said it takes atleast 6 months for everything to settle after you’ve stopped taking the pill...Doctors have always told me it leaves your system after a couple of days with no long term effects so it was nice to hear something more honest.

@sperr and @ChinChilly glad you both have understanding gps!

@Juno231 signs are all sounding good! 🤞 this is your month.

@Juno231 that all sounds good 😉

GP rang this morning, she was really understanding she’s sending me repeat bloods and will also check hormonal levels, will still have to wait for investigatons until its been 12 months obviously

@sperr bless you that sounds tough to deal with! I'm glad your gp booked you in for some tests and didnt dismiss you. Don't worry about DTD, it takes only one so maybe just make sure to carry on doing it every 3 days until something starts happening again?

@kay00 omg a roast without gravy OR yorkshire puds (and it was national yorkshire pudding day wasn't it?!) - not sure it's worth it tbh . Glad you're doing better though, I'm hopeful for you!

@MissC07 lovely chart there! Crossing my fingers for us. @Gracie2021 how are things with you today?

Forgot to add that cervix is so high atm that I can't even locate it and I've got creamy CM. I'm not holding my breath anyway but I'm glad it's not giving me BFN signs this early on.

@MissC07 back pain can be good! I had bad back pain in my TWW before my BFP. Your chart is looking really good... 🤞🏻

@Juno231 sorry you're feeling gloomy today.

@Kay00 I've got 8 left and I'm reluctant to order any more right now as I think I mayyy have ovulated... 🤷🏼‍♀️ Looks like you're on track to Ovulate with that temp dip! 🤞� �

@Sperr I'm glad the doctor was nice and got you booked in! I'm sorry, it sounds like you're having a frustrating time!

My temp was up slightly this morning... I'm hesitant to say it but I feel like I may have ovulated at some point in the past few days... 🤷🏼‍♀️ Obviously just a 'wait and see' sitch as I need to see how my temps to the next few days. And I'm feeling a bit down about it all as of course O would hit when me and OH had a few days off DTD 😩 oh well!! Past few days temps look almost exactly like last cycles post-O temps, hence the inkling it might have happened. OPKs haven't shown much but I've been drinking so much I'm probably watering them down haha.

@Kay00 good job on DTD so far! You're right we just need to keep soldiering on haha. Hopefully ovulation comes soon for us. My temps went up today but OPKs still low

I don’t have any more EWCM and it’s been quite lotiony for a while now. Annoying because if I am going to ovulate now we stopped DTD. We are going to do it again tonight just in case.

I’ve spoken to my doctor already and she was quite nice and booked me in for bloods for next month.

@Sperr just like the others have said I get temps lower than 36.0 at least once every cycle. It might just be that you didn't ovulate when you thought you did. It looks like your body definitely tried with all the EWCM but maybe it is going to try again. I have had confirmed ovulation in ff on a previous cycle and then about a week later my temp dropped and then I actually ovulated a week later. See my attached chart.

@Juno231 I'm just trying to not get too worked up about it all and keep thinking every day I get extra is a day to a slightly longer LP! I'm keeping everything crossed you get your BFP this month!!!

@Sperr Is there any way that you might not have ovulated when you thought you did and now your body is trying to do it again? Mine dropped to 36 and then tried again the week after (attached my current chart). Sending positive thoughts.

@MissC07 @Juno231 hoping AF stays away for you!

@Sperr keeping everything crossed all is ok...my temp was 35.96 this morning retook it and it was 36.09 so mine must always be pretty low 🤔

So I’m fully having a break down. My temp was like freakishly low this morning (36.05 I mean is that even a real temperature?!). I even checked it again once I’d got up and moved around and it was that low. So then I thought, is there something wrong with the thermometer so i put it in my coffee and it accepted that it was hot. I’ve literally been crying all morning. I just don’t know what to think. I’ve made a telephone call with my GP today 😢

@MissC07 or implantation! you never know

8DPO here and I must admit I'm starting my monthly gloominess. It's like the closer I get to AF the sadder I get cause I realise that this cycle is probably another dud.

Temp did a little dip today. Nothing dramatic but certainly doesn't fill you with hope the way a higher temp would have!

@Juno231 Your chart is looking really good 🤞

@ChinChilly Good luck for your GP call tomorrow!

@abi555 Sorry DTD is taking it's toll. It's so frustrating isn't it, just when you think you know your body and timings it throws a curveball! After my OH wasn't in the mood during my FW he's all of a sudden decided this week he is, which I know I shouldn't take out on him but argh!

7dpo for me too! Having bad back ache this afternoon/eve. Which I think means AF is on her way 😞

@TheDaydreamBelievers ooh I meant to add earlier that I get the extra smell at certain points of my cycle! It was particularly bad in early pregnancy haha, I was very fragrant!

@Cams50 yup, confusing just about covers it 😂

@Flowers222 yeah it's not looking very clear at the mo is it?! It's just so frustrating!

@abi555 thanks, will keep going! I reeeaaalllly feel you on the exhaustion over DTD so much! We're aiming for every other day at the moment to try and cover ourselves... And this prolonged period of waiting for O is just meeehhhhhhhh 😩 I'm not even particularly enjoying the sex at the mo, it's just functional!

@Juno231 yup, just a bit frustrating! I'm getting through OPKs at a crazy rate doing at least 3 a day 😂😩 just wish I hadn't set so much hope on all the anecdotal stories of 'oh I ovulated and got pregnant two weeks after my miscarriage!'. Feel like I've set myself up for failure. Loads of EWCM the past few days so I must be close?! Your charts looking really good! Maybe an estrogen dip to be expected in the next day or two? But it's looking like it's steadily climbing! 🤞🏻

@TheDaydreamBelievers it's a premium function I'm afraid! It doesn't recognise it as rhr per se, you can just choose to add a second line to plot of whatever it is that you want it to be.

@Moocher90 my GP was the same, really dismissive and generally not interested! Hopefully the GP I speak tomorrow will be more understanding, I am going to really play my face though otherwise I’ll get nowhere. It’s good that you got a referal to an endo though! I’m trying to go GF but I have failed miserably over the weekend. I’m definitely trying to do more exercises and generally eat better and hope that helps. That’s a great loss for 5 weeks well done xx

@ChinChilly unfortunately if I didn’t do a private test I would never have known as GP would prob never complete a re-test unless my TSH was over 5. Will speak to the out of hours GP on Sunday which goes in my favour as my actual GP was a dick and very dismissive when he gave me my results in December but did refer me to an endo when I discussed my concerns but the out of hours who ordered the tests and previous female hormone tests was so much more understanding. I think you really have to be pushy and advocate for yourself and tell them how you are feeling symptoms wise. I am going to keep fighting it as if it’s affecting my ovulation I may never ovulate without help. We shall see this cycle as I’m only CD7 and my body had a peak opk on CD17-18 last cycle. I am making lifestyle changes with the gf and df and walking atleast 10k steps a day and will try spin 3 times a week too. Losing some weight will help as well and already lost 9lbs in 5 weeks.

@Juno231 your chart is looking good 😉 this maybe the month 🤞🏼

@abi555 I think you’ve both earned yourself a night off!!

@Moocher90 how are you feeling about your thyroid stuff now? I’ve got my GP phone call tomorrow, I’m kinda nervous because I know I need to lay it on thick to get them to do anything!

Hope everyones had a good weekend! Dreading the commute to my dining room table tomorrow 😂

@Juno231 your chart is looking good for 7DPO x fingers crossed for you
