Post Pill Party - The Ceilidh

@MissC07 houses really are money pits, this one especially just as we think we are on top of it something happens 🤣

@Juno231 Yup! Superglue! Who does that 😂 my dad is super handy around the house so he said the panel is going to have be broken off to see whats going on 🙁 his line was ‘panels are cheap, leaks aren’t’ 😂😂 ahh a Nov baba would be nice!

@Kay00 I’m hoping the sealer has done the job but I’ve got a horrible feeling it’s something else! The bathroom needs ripping out but we just haven’t got the cash to do it at the mo, when that day comes I will get great pleasure in smashing each and every one of those hideous tiles 😂😂 Ooo was your gift from the kitty something dead? 😂

@Moocher90 fingers crossed something is happening for you!

Morning!

@Juno231 Great that you've ovulated! Fingers crossed the hsg procedure works its magic this month for you! 3 birth announcements after they caught first cycle?! Urgh...If only it were that easy for all of us eh?!

@Kay00 @TheDaydreamBelievers Sorry you're having such crappy long and confusing cycles

@ChinChilly Your temps are still sitting high above the cover line. When are you due AF? Sorry you're having a mare with your house!

@MissC07 I think i'll have to do the same with Line of Duty...I have a shocking memory and I can already see DH getting annoyed at me for asking loads of questions! Haha!

There we go, haha. Lets try my chart now...

Kelly's gift

I can't upload pictures right now :/

@Juno231 I think my thyroid affects my temps as they are generally low. The highest it’s been in this follicular phase is 36.28 and lowest 35.84. It generally is around 36.1ish but had dropped yest to 36. I think I’m going to have a slow rise on my BBT. My cervix is so high I can’t get to it but I feel drier today so think my body tried to ovulate and will have to just wait and see. If not I’m still doing OPKs however there’s even less of a line on there now but just in case it peaks again. Or as usual I won’t ovulate after peak!

Gah... baby announcements! I'm sure one day that will be us too...

@ChinChilly oh no! Complete nightmare! Hopefully the re-sealing job you did has resolved the issue!

@TheDaydreamBelievers We are completely in the same boat its so frustrating isn't it? Its the hope that gets me... It's clear my body is trying, I get excited and think, i'm sure it's happening now, but then it fizzles out. It is now exactly 90 days since I last ovulated!

I have been feeding my elderly neighbour's cat 'Kelly' (my neighbour fell and broke her wrist, so is staying with her daughter), this morning Kelly brought me a little gift to say thanks! haha!

@ChinChilly haha yes I'll be restarting the diet today as well... super glue?! bastards. No spotting sounds super positive though! Got my fingers crossed for you for a Nov baba.

@Moocher90 hm although 36.14 is very low for an LP temp - are they normally that low for you?

Ha did I mention I've had three birth announcements in the last week? I'm drowning in baby pics - all by people who caught first cycle at that!

@mrsmacmc I love Line of Duty!!! Although I think I might need to watch the last series again so I don't spend the whole of the first episode of the new series trying to remember what's happened 😂

@Juno231 Woohoo for peak! And also the days matching perfectly with the date!

@Cams50 🤣 I've been pretty chilled about it this month too. Although I'm now all guns blazing on temps and opks!

@ChinChilly I hope AF stays away! That sounds a nightmare about your kitchen. Houses are such money pits!

@Juno231 I think I’ll see what my temp does tomorrow! I haven’t had any spotting yet which I normally get a couple of days before AF. I do love the 1st of the month especially on a Monday! Perfect day to restart my diet 🤣

We only had the ceiling replastered about a year ago after it leaked through before and left a big brown stain, tried to take the bath panel off last night to see what was going on underneath but the previous occupants have very kindly super glued the fecking thing on 🙄

@Juno231
Temp went from 36.00 to 36.14! I hope it’s ovulation and not a fluctuation! Will have to wait and see if I get cross hairs in the next few days.

@ChinChilly omg the suspense is killing me! Are you planning on testing pre AF at all? Sorry to hear about your wet kitchen ceiling!

@kay00 @TheDaydreamBelievers your charts :( I can't even imagine how frustrating it must be to be having such a long cycle and not have a clue what's going on. Fingers crossed something actually happens soon!!

First of the month today and I'm 1 DPO - love it when it aligns like that! Anyone other than me that updates their budget trackers on the 1st? It's like my favourite day of the month lol.

Temp went up enough today to be higher than the previous 6 at 36.57. Managed to DTD on O and O-1 in that case. Might see if OH is up for it tonight just to cover our bases. Bought pineapple to eat this LP - haven't done that in ages!

@LauraT94 I don't think the HSG could have brought it forward but my last cycle was a bit wonky with a weirdly long LP so I wonder if it has had some kind of knock on effect.

@Moocher90 what did your temp do today?!

Forgot to attach chart!

@Kay00 sorry you didn’t get a temp rise today 🙁

@Juno231 check out that peak! Hope you managed to 🍆

@mrsmacmc I love line of duty, I can’t wait for the new series!

My temp went down again today so I’m guessing AF will join me in a couple of days time!

Had a right mare yesterday, bath/shower has leaked down into the kitchen, the sealent had seen better days so spent all night picking out the old sealent and resealing it and hoping its just that which caused the wet kitchen ceiling 😭

Nope. 36.11, temp this morning has not helped paint a picture 😑🙃

@laurat94 thanks for the tip, I'll certainly check Femometer out... at the very least because I hate Premom lol.

@moocher90 hmmm yeah I can see where Juno is coming from... maybe keep the low temp and see what tomorrow brings!

Still no peak on the OPKs for me... not sure if a) ovulation has happened b) body is still gearing up to ovulate c) it's fizzled out again. Temps tomorrow should show me more 🤞

@MissC07 thank you ❤️

@ChinChilly yes hopefully we covered enough of the fertile days! OH was practically pushing me away by the time I ovulated 😂

@Kay00 oooh it definitely looks like something is happening! I find Femometer so much easier to read OPKs (@Moocher90 I was going to suggest the same to you too!)

@mrsmacmc I hadn't heard about Line of Duty and OH and I love that! Very exciting!

@Juno231 😱 look at that peak! Do you think the HSG had anything to do with it coming earlier? Either way it's fab that it's already happening and hopefully this early O is the one!

@Cams50 thanks. I know 90% of my issue is made up of overthinking everything 😂 need to try and chill out! I'm doing Walk All Over Cancer in March (10k steps a day) and I'm hoping the extra exercise helps relax me a bit.

@juno231 well peak on CD13 is on the right track for ovulating today as can be up to 48 hours?? I guess I will have to see what temps do tomorrow.

@Moocher90 if you had a peak opk on cd13 then don't forget to add that to FF as it doesn't look like you have yet. I would actually guess that you're ovulating today considering the temp drop - alcohol should raise your temp and not lower it so it doesn't explain the temp drop and I'm not sure the poor night's sleep is to blame either!

So my peak was on CD13 on IC opk and since then my lines have not been much darker. My temp also dropped to 36.00 this morning however I had to disregard it because of lack of sleep and I had a few alcoholic drinks last night which I do not usually do. My CB is still giving me flashing smileys so had that 2 days in a row..... do I still consider myself fertile until a temp rise?
My RHR went up today too however is this also due to alcohol and lack of sleep?

Attached graph and OPKs

What does everyone think?! Currently CD15

@ChinChilly yay I’m delighted your temp went back up! Your chart looks great. Fingers crossed.

@LauraT94 your temps are looking great so far. I completely understand the internal struggle. Every month I get my hopes while telling myself not to be stupid. But you conceived quickly the first time so no reason why that shouldn’t be the case again.

@Kay00 eek I’m so hopeful your ovulation is right around the corner! Come on body!

@Juno231 oh wow that is an early ovulation day but that is a dark OPK! Exciting. And I LOVE hearing stories like that about the woman on the other thread. Gives me hope too! Lovely news

@MissC07 I’ve nothing to report either. CD9.... I’ve even been really bad at temping this cycle. With AF I’m like meh but I know I’ll become an obsessive temper/ttc maniac in a few days 😂

Attaching my chart purely for reference - my rhr has gone up up up for this ovulation
