Post Pill Party - The Ceilidh

That photo looks so naff as it’s actually a lot darker then what it looks in person 😂😂

My opks are getting darker!

@Flowers222 it’s moving in the right direction but it is still wayyyy to high! They won’t do anything at the moment because their normal range is upto 4.9 so it’s normal to them 🙄

@Moocher90 thanks for that! It’s kinda frustrating that the GP won’t do anything about it but I guess I’m just gonna wait it out!

@Juno231 yeah according to thier lab my vit d should be over 50 and mine is 19 😳 I’ve saw somewhere about how vitamin D effects your thyroid function aswell so it will be interesting to see if getting my vit D up will help.

She did my LH and FSH although they were just done on any cycle day so can’t take much notice of those she said they all looked fine though, she’s confident there isn’t anything going on with my fertility as my periods are regular and my LH and FSH looked normal...but that is a GP normal so it’s probs not normal 😂

FSH 3.7 iu/l
LH 5.0 iu/l

Also totally get the whole big pants bunching up the bum 🤣

@chinchilly oof the vit D is good to get sorted! I've been taking 4000iu/day for it recently as I was reading about its importance in general and how pretty much everyone is deficient in it. Oh and it's meant to play a big part in covid somehow? Although I've already forgotten that bit lol.

@LauraT94 @Kay00 ha i find normal pants just bunch up in my bum and get so uncomfortable whereas I can't feel my thongs 🤷‍♀️

@ChinChilly this is from one of the FB pages I am on in regards to thyroid.

@Kay00, @LauraT94, @Cams50 Thanks! I ate all the chocolate last night to make myself feel better. But I think my DH was more disappointed than I was this time, it is really starting to get to him too. I really hope it doesn't take a month just to ovulate again! The waiting is awful.

@Juno231 good luck today! Hope everything goes well.

@ChinChilly quick to get your results back! I believe low vitamin D may affect fertility so good to find that out and is easily fixed. Your TSH is moving in the right direction at least, but still a little high. Are they thinking of doing anything about it this time?

@Juno231 good luck for today!!

@LauraT94 Yay for ovulation!

My blood tests came back, my vitamin D level is super low so need prescription strength supplement for that.

My TSH has come back as 4.1 down from 4.43 in November and my free T4 is 11.2 up from 9.6 so not sure if this is an improvement or not

@Moocher90 definitely keep DTD just in case! You never know ❤️

@Juno231 good luck today! We'll all be thinking of you. And I'm a thong girl too, was so weird having to wear big knickers with the MC haha!

Sooo FMU shows a peak of 126% so far today... 😂 So I'm guessing tomorrow or today for ovulation! 🥳 gonna be wearing socks to bed every night from now on haha!!

@Juno231 thongs hehe... I haven't worn a thong for about 10 years! I'm very much a comfy pants kinda girl

Glad to hear you're prepared!

Thank you ladies!

@kay00 I've got my paper work, 2 types of antibiotics and co-codamol waiting for me in the kitchen. Bought kefir to help my tummy recover from the meds and prepared sanitary pad appropriate pants as I normally only wear thongs 😅.

@Flowers222 sorry about AF 😞

@Juno231 good luck tomorrow!

@LauraT94 yay for ovulation!

@firsttimemummy321 hope you get some answers from the bloods.

Not much from me today I’m CD12 but I doubt I will ovulate due to the thyroid issues. I’m still doing OPKs but so far very low. Need to start BDing just in case though.

@firsttimemummy321 I can see a vfl on the CB! Hope the bloods show what's happening.

@Juno231 fingers crossed it'll settle down and it'll be a normal ovulation! I wonder if the HSG tomorrow will make a difference 🤔

@Flowers222 oh no I'm so sorry you think AF is on its way 😢

OPK went back down to 70% this eve so I think although I got that peak reading today, I reckon it'll shoot up a bit more tomorrow! Think my highest peak reading on the cycle I conceived was 97-123%. So could have a way to go yet!

@Flowers222 sorry to hear that

@Juno231 you all set for tomorrow?

@firsttimemummy321 I see a vvvfaint line on the CB, and I think I can see one on the FRER too but i'm not sure... maybe just the picture. Did you have a stronger positive previously?

Well I've started cramping and spotting now so expect AF to be in full flow by tomorrow. On to the next cycle!

@Robyn101 hmm very confusing chart. I would also possibly say no ovulation yet but it is difficult to tell. Hopefully something will happen soon!

@LauraT94 yay for your peak! I would class that as a peak as it looks very very close to the control line.

@firsttimemummy321 hopefully the bloods will give some answers. I can see a faint line on the cb test but not really on the FRER, maybe a shadow. It is very odd you keep getting faint lines.

12dpo for me, temps are still high. No idea what is happening as I have always had a temp drop by now but had a bfn yesterday. Will see what happens in the next few days before I will test again.

@LauraT94 oh and I have no clue about my chart. Just waiting to see if I'll ovulate as normal or if I've got a wonky cycle ahead.

@firsttimemummy321 I can see vvvfl on both of them

So much to catch up on again 🙈

@Kay00 sorry you're in that position with your friend. That's an interesting thing I've never thought about it like that always assumed it's why we don't say we are til 12 weeks so if anything happens but I think it's so backwards if something happens support is wanted anyway it's all so strange 😫 I'd speak with her about it involve her and I'm sure it will work out fine 🤞🏻

@LauraT94 id mark thar as positive :)

So had my blood test yesterday. Just a sense check are there still lines here? (I know it's super faint) 🙈

@ChinChilly @Juno231 thanks!! I'm SO happy you'd think I just got a BFP 😂 after last cycle's confusion, I'm glad ovulation is actually happening this time haha! Well, subject to temp changes in the next few days anyway!

@LauraT94 I agree with @Juno231 that is definitely borderline, I’d mark it as a positive on FF

@LauraT94 I'd be tempted to go with peak as well - looks to me like it's so borderline that if maybe your wee had just been a little bit more concentrated it would have been an obvious peak.

@Juno231 ooh that's a confusing start to a chart 🤔 what so you think is going on? You still have time for temps to go down for your fertile window!

@Tillybabs oh I'm so sorry you're suffering with thrush! It's awful. When I was on the pill I'd get it towards the end of my period and for a few days after every single cycle! Think mine had a hormonal element 🤔

@Robyn101 hmm that's a confusing chart for sure! I think I'd tend to agree with Juno that its anovulatory unfortunately. On the first pic it kind of looks like you might have done, just with low LP temps. But seeing it with your FP temps there doesn't seem to be a huge difference!

I got a peak OPK 🥳 only 86% but I'd imagine I'll get a stronger one tomorrow. Question though - 86% is registering as peak on Femometer but it's not quite as dark as the control. Would I still count that as negative on FF? I think I'm tempted to count it as positive as it's so dark? Pic attached!

@Kay00 thank you xx
