As the Post Pill Party Mosh Pit dies down... sweaty and bewildered, the ladies head to the bar to freshen up. Suddenly, a fiddler bursts onto the stage, beginning a merry tune. Everybody swings into an energetic Ceilidh!

Our heads are spinning, our bodies are knackered but we arent giving up dancing when the music is this catchy!

This is the 8th post pill party thread for women whose bodies don't know the correct dance steps after hormonal contraception. Raise a dram to combating delayed ovulation, flabberghasting follicular phases, loopy luteal phases, bizzare temp charts and OPKs whiter than a Scotsman's bum!

CD12 and had an unexpected peak! With diluted wee on a one hour hold at that. Luckily I jumped OH yesterday and will do again today and tomorrow. I think today is the day though and I've not ovulated this early since June and that was the only time in the past year!

Oh and ladies - on another bus I'm on someone got their bfp today at cycle 18! Gives me hope 😊

@LauraT94, WV is very strange - I thought I was quite switched on with Marvel but been very grateful for explainer videos 😆 I reckon they will do a Scarlett Witch Film. My sleep pattern is all over the place so snatch every min I get my hands on.

@Kay00 that was some 💣 and 💥! The BDS smother anything they are doing a controlled explosion of in sand to try and dampen the impact on surrounding area.

@ChinChilly oh the pre AF rage - I feel like the hulk sometimes 🙈

Anyone else excited for the confirmed date for the new season line of duty? 21 March - quite sad that it's a highlight in this house.

Slight side note, did you know they stopped making the blue feminax in 2018! Another thing to add to my GP appt list on Thursday and ask if they can prescribe for me.

Hope folks are able to have a snoozy Sunday, uni work for me today

Baby dust ✨ and love ❤️ to all x

Kay00 · 28/02/2021 13:30

@chinchilly your chart is looking pretty fantastic! Hopefully your rage isn't AF related!!

@laurat94 great temp rise!!

My temp is still low at 35.96 but I've had a few more darker OPKs... no peak though. Hopefully my body is trying to do something... and it's not just the new pack of OPKs that are trolling me 😆

@MissC07 I feel the pre-period rage today so I think everything will start coming down tomorrow and then AF will appear in a couple of days.

@LauraT94 Definitely looks like you’ve ovulated and you’ve got good coverage!

MissC07 · 28/02/2021 10:47

@Kay00 Wow that bomb story is crazy!!

@ChinChilly Your chart is looking good, fingers crossed for you over the next few days!! 🤞

@LauraT94 Sorry to hear you're having a tough time. Sending positive thoughts that this is your month again 🌟

Nothing interesting to report from me, CD14 but I'm not expecting O until late 20s/30s days.

LauraT94 · 28/02/2021 09:51

It's mad that there are still so many WW2 bombs around!

My temps are definitely jumping up, confirming Ovulation, but my RHR is so flat 😂 hopefully it jumps up a bit soon!

I'm having an internal struggle at the moment - part of me is hoping to hell that I'll conceive again this month, and the other part of me is calling that part an idiot because it won't happen that soon/I won't be that lucky. It's hard enough managing expectations when you're TTC but I feel it's a whole other headfuck when you've had a loss as well. I'm obsessively charting everything and checking my apps multiple times a day hoping it'll give me a hint as to what's happening! 🤪

@Kay00 oh wow! That’s crazy. I just saw it on BBC news too 😮

Kay00 · 28/02/2021 00:00

@tillybabs yes, I imagine so! And maybe broken windows? One guy on FB who lives nearby said he left his washing on the line when he was evacuated 😆 guess he'll need to re-wash them... if any survived at all!

Tillybabs · 27/02/2021 23:16

@Kay00 wow that’s insane but I suppose they had no other choice. I was thinking some houses might have developed some cracks after that.

ChinChilly · 27/02/2021 23:03

@Kay00 Wow! Yours was definitely more exciting then mine 🤣 definitely looked too close to buildings!

Kay00 · 27/02/2021 22:45

@juno231 @tillybabs yes, it apparently did a lot of damage to a nearby house, and they have been finding sand up to half a mile away. The bomb was 8ft long... and it was LOUD!! I was sat waiting for it and it still really shocked me 😆

Tillybabs · 27/02/2021 22:17

@Juno231 I thought it was very close to buildings too!

Juno231 · 27/02/2021 21:51

@Kay00 oops just saw the video. That was loud! Looked like it was detonated far too close to buildings for my liking 😅

Juno231 · 27/02/2021 21:47

@LauraT94 actually ovaries don't alternate, it's supposed to be a bit random I think?

@Kay00 what is going on with all these bombs atm 😅. How loud is loud?

Kay00 · 27/02/2021 21:09

I just did an OPK and it came back at just 30%... so I'm not getting too excited just yet. We DTD last night and will again tonight just in case.

LauraT94 · 27/02/2021 20:24

@Juno231 yeah I definitely reckon it must have been my right ovary last month! It is supposed to switch every month I think so would make sense 🤔 how are you feeling today? All recovered?

@mrsmacmc it was horrible pain so I really feel for you!! It felt almost like an intense trapped wind pain but it was only in one place and there was no wind to pass haha... Ooh what did you think of WandaVision? Did you see they're going to do a Scarlet Witch film? I had a quick Google of Ovusense. Tbh I get on really well with waking up same time every day to do my temps (use my silent alarm on my Fitbit!). But I can see it being useful for those who do shift work, or maybe even those who are getting up in night for older kids?

@Moocher90 ooh I hope FF is wrong and your temps dip back down ready for ovulation!

@Cams50 it was definitely good to confirm Ovulation! Though could do without the pain next time 😂

@Kay00 omg!! Ovulation! 🥳🥳🥳 You'll only be a few days behind me in the TWW too. And a second omg to that bomb!! Crazy.

Kay00 · 27/02/2021 19:16

m.youtube.com/watch?v=xYenHWQ09gc&feature=youtu.be bomb explosion for any interested peeps

Kay00 · 27/02/2021 18:59

@chinchilly I'll take your unexploded WW2 bomb in the cabal near your house and raise you an unexploded WW2 bomb at the uni in Exeter (about 20 min walk from my house). They just detonated it about 30 mins ago... HOLY MOLY!!!! It was so loud!!! 😳🤯😱

@juno231 dear me... your procedure sounded really intense, im glad you had it done, hopefully you'll get the results sooner than your next appointment!

@Laurat94 woop for ovulation!! 🥳🥳

So I'm CD37, my temp is dipping again and my cervix is SHOW... AND... I got 75% (high) on an OPK with SMU... oh god... could it be... ovulation????

mrsmacmc · 27/02/2021 17:11

@ChinChilly I'm sure it is listening to me!

Had a very enjoyable Saturday, dog run, a mid afternoon bath and a relax as DH has done all the housework!

Speaking of listening in, Ovusense keeps popping up. Has anyone used it? Thinking about it and DH is contemplating it too as its 'techy' 🤓 😆

Cams50 · 27/02/2021 12:07

@Juno231 god the procedure sounds awful but glad you felt better quickly. That’s reassuring that everything seems fine but I hate that feeling that you felt you couldn’t see your other tube but I’m sure it was fine.

@LauraT94 yay for ovulation but sorry it was so painful! Hopefully that’s a good sign. Definite ovulation and a good egg hopefully!

@ChinChilly hopefully the dip is nothing. Your temps are still way above the cover line!

Moocher90 · 27/02/2021 10:42

@chinchilly that also happened to me as well I had one of my liver tests raised. I went for a repeat blood test and all was back to normal. It was at the time I had a kidney infection and had been on antibiotics so I think it was just that in my system which showed an anomaly.

ChinChilly · 27/02/2021 10:30

@TheDaydreamBelievers thank you for the reassurance, she did say it’s probably nothing so fingers crossed!

@mrsmacmc I’m pretty sure my phone listens to me 3 times I’ve been talking about something and the same day its been on the advertising on my phone 🤔

@Moocher90 hopefully FF is just being abit eager with the cross hairs!

I had a little temp dip this morning and some cramps so hopeing AF isn’t about to make an appearance this soon 🙄

Morning all, fertility friend is under the presumption I have ovulated. Well I done a CB opk and I got a flashing smiley so I don’t think I have yet. If I had I would be out anyway as never had sex in time....

@LauraT94 - I'm more pained on my left side as had a cyst removed years ago, some months it feels like a gerbil gnawing at me ❤️

It's taken me nearly a month to pluck up the courage as our GP surgery receptionists can be quite forceful. I find it hard to talk on the phone even though I do it daily for work but have a 'hat' on for that.

@ChinChilly yep they can go do one! The algorithm gods are messing with me too as ads keep appearing in my newsfeeds 😆

WandaVision here tonight then a very undignified snoozette on the couch. Have a good weekend everyone. Pupper and I are heading to the local secure dog run for a good run about (him not me!)
