Post Pill Party - The Ceilidh

Sorry crossposted!

@Kay00 potentially, I guess I need to wait and see temps wise. There wasn’t anything on my underwear, but when I wiped it was bright red and practically covered the tissue with a small clot in it too

Fingers crossed I’ve just disturbed something or it’s just intense O bleeding

Why is nothing ever simple 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

@Juno231 that’s exactly what I was expecting to happen that it would give up eventually but the peak today was blazingly positive so I’m just utterly confused as to what’s going on or what to do

@Robyn101 oh wow! That'c certainly a positive OPK! It looks to me as though you have ovulated on CD53, and hopefully your bleeding is due to a small amount of cervical erosion following sex or ovulation bleeding. How much blood is there?

@minipilling Its not completely unusual for it to move around... even for ladies who have very regular cycles they will get the odd cycle which will be an earlier or later ovulation. Similarly, you can get more than one LH surge before you ovulate, so keep DTD every couple of days just in case this is a false alarm!

@minipilling yes not everyone will have a perfectly regular cycle. The only constant should be your LP but even then that's all over the place for many of us lol. In the past year I've ovulated between CD11 and CD17 for reference and that's considered a regular cycle :) Now jump on OH!

@MissC07 lovely to hear from you! Hope ovulation doesn't tarry.

@MintGreenLife ah a boy!! Congratulations! And you're almost halfway through at that. Have you started buying things for the nursery, a pram etc? Do you have names short listed?

@Robyn101 I'm sorry that's super odd. If it wasn't for the OPKs I'd assume your cycle gave up and AF showed but I have no clue how that ties up with a surge like that :(

oh update just got my peak! is that normal? as i said it was cd17 last time and now cd12. is it usual for the peak to move around?

@Tillybabs awh thanks 💙

Hey guys
I’ve been a bit MIA dipping in and out while my long cycles carry on but I need some help / advice

I’ve had positive OPKs for the last two days, today’s was really high!
However I just went to the toilet and bright red blood and even a little clotting - how could this be? I’m so confused as to what’s going on and don’t know if I should be worried

Attached my chart (full and smaller so you can see detail) and my OPKs

Just don’t know what to do or what’s going on 😔

@MintGreenLife that’s such lovely news! Congratulations xx

also congrats everyone with good news!

@Juno231 yes, I'm here! I've been quiet due to my period and feeling crap but now on cd12 so have been OPKing for a couple of days, nothing so far but my last peak was cd17. thank you for thinking of me!

@laurat94 eww haha! I just ate a ring of pinapple (including the core) which is a fruit a particularly dislike ... the things we do!

@Juno231 Hi 👋 Still here just sitting in the background. CD18 for me today but I'm not 'due' to ovulate until next weekend, although I'd love for it to be earlier! Hope everything is going well for you this cycle! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

@LauraT94 OMG beetroot juice!! I don't know how you can drink that, I can't even stomach normal beetroot 🤣 Good on you though!!

@LauraT94 thank you 💙 xx

@MintGreenLife congratulations on a boy! 💙 Hope you're doing well.

@ChinChilly if you get the urge to POAS again I reckon you'll get a bold line tomorrow pm!

@Kay00 it does look like it could be happening! Feel like we need to coin a new acronym for TTC - WAS (wait and see!)

Couldn't find pomegranate juice in any of my local shops but found beetroot juice... It's meant to be a really good option too but my god it tastes gross 🤢 I'm a beetroot fan and I can't even stomach it! Have added lemonade to try and make it more palatable haha!

Thanks @Kay00 :) I still check in here most days to see how you're all getting on

@MintGreenLife Ahh, that's so lovely, a little boy . I'm so please for you xx

@ChinChilly thank you :) let me know how you get on with getting your TSH tested again xx

@MintGreenLife wow almost 19weeks already and a boy 💙 how exciting! Lovely you get to see him every 2 weeks! Hope the gluten introduction goes well xx

@ChinChilly sounds like a good plan, as if it's too high they should be able to treat as important to keep TSH down in pregnancy :)

Yeah good, thanks for asking. I'm 18+4 now, found out last week we are having a boy! I'm having some extra scans at the mo to check my cervix length after having a LLETZ 5 years ago, and they always have a quick look at baby at the same time, so that's nice. Means I get to see him every 2 weeks at the moment, and all looking fine with my cervix so far. I've also reintroduced gluten and dairy over the last month or so after cutting them out to help with my TSH and so far so good! x

@MintGreenLife I think I will ask them to check I’ve got a repeat blood test booked in for the 23rd anyway so I’m sure they can do it then. How are you getting on?

@abi555 thank you :)

@mrsmacmc glad your appointment went well, must be a weight lifted now to have the ball rolling

@Juno231 @Kay00 @LauraT94 thanks ladies, I’m going to step away from the tests, reqally difficult when I’ve got so bloody many, I feel like I justify it to myself 😂

@Juno231 yes, that's true. My temps are usually pretty low (compared to a lot of you other warm blooded ladies), but my last thyroid test came back at 1.96. I suppose i'll wait and see. But I won't be getting my hopes up!

@kay00 I'm afraid it's a wait and see situation! Those temps are low but then again I think @Moocher90 has low LP temps but still gets a temp shift?

Chart attached!

@LauraT94 That's really interesting about the cervix... hmmm!

@ChinChilly agree with the others: step away from the FRERs! Maybe test again on Sat or Sunday, but just relax for now... although easier said than done i'm sure!

I have a question for you ladies ref my chart. So. Peak on CD39. Cervix was still soft and open on CD40 evening. I have technically had a small temp rise that is higher than the previous 6 days on CD41 and 42 (and if I put into FF a temp of 36.2 tomorrow then FF gives me solid cross hairs with ovulation of CD40) but these temps are too low to confirm ovulation right?? Usually my post Ov temps start at about 36.3!

My body is so rubbish lol

@mrsmacmc oh I'm glad it went well!

@Juno231 I guess it kind of makes sense as my cervix had to be forceably dilated (🤢) to end the Pregnancy? I then found the below info on verywellfamily.com 🤷🏼‍♀️ I can definitely feel slight changes in height and firmness so hopefully that's good news haha! Will just keep an eye on it I suppose.
