Post Pill Party - The Ceilidh

@Gracie2021 I’m assuming aslong as they are on the upwards trend I think its ok! I did have COVID last month so I’m guessing that may have effected my temps more than i realised. Before I stopped taking it last time I’d been on some form of hormonal contraception for about 10/11 years either the pill or the implant then I stopped taking it 2018 for about 6 months then started taking it again!!

It does seem like we live somewhere out of a soap 😂 I’m guessing it’s all part of living inner city, I walk the dog down that stretch of the canal everyday 🙄

Always miss a load of updates while I'm off typing away. @ChinChilly you don't live on coronation street do you? Always excitement! Stay safe.

@Sperr this is all sounding very hopeful!

@Juno231 from the mouths of babes 🤞 my temps were still at 36.7 yesterday and only tanked to 36.4 today at CD10. First FP temping so hadn't even realized they were high til I saw your comment on yours.

@ChinChilly do the temps themselves matter as much as the trend so long as there is a clear increase? I'll def follow your lead with the white lie. I'm with you about the pill too. Wish I'd come off it years ago. How long were you off before you went back on? Mind the ankle x

@Moocher90 you sound like you have a great plan of action going forward and always starting from a strong place when you and OH are on the same page.

@MissC07 sorry you had a rotten day but yay for the orange swirls. Comfort food is key. My cousin had her SIXTH child two weeks ago and it got to me a bit I'll be honest. Very happy for them but also a little bit why not us 🙈🙈

@minipilling are you having other AF symptoms? I never spot either, just go straight into bright full on period so have always thought if I see spotting it would prob be a symptom of pregnancy. How many DPO are you now?

@Kay00 hope the OH's policy has all the bells and whistles. Our policy is up for renewal in July and I'll defo be upping the fertility cover. Know it's takes some time to kick in before you can avail but better have than not. Dead right to go private if you're covered and take advantage of it.

@Juno231 because I had no other symptoms I’d discarded those low temps but when I put them back in it moved my o date to then 😂. Temp still high today so it’s not all bad at 13dpo. My RHR jumped up yesterday as well so I’m just waiting for my stupid Apple Watch to decide what today’s is before I get excited about anything

I have no motivation what so ever today to do my run. Like I’m still in bed can’t be bothered.

@Kay00 I hope so, its an old 1900’s house, they all are around here! So it’ll probs just crumble to the ground 😂

@chinchilly 😲😲😲 I hope your house isn't at risk!

@juno231 awww that's cute. And sounds like you have an ideal babysitter lined up for the future 🙌🙌

@chinchilly sounds like you're just having a slow rise, my temps usually rise to peak 4/5dpo.

@Juno231 funnily enough my RHR never really came down during my last AF so that’s still too high!

Well exciting morning around here, somebody magnet fishing in the canal this morning near us has found an unexploded bomb (possibly WW2) all surrounding roads are closed off and the bomb disposal squad just turned up, waiting to see if they are going to make us all evacuate 🙄 seriously never a dull moment in my life 😂

@abi555 any line updates? I could see one in all the pics!

@Sperr I'm sorry you've been bamboozled on the O date! Fingers crossed you're still in with a shot 🤞

@chinchilly your poor ankle! Hope it heals quickly. Wanna swap temps BTW - mine are way too high! I'm CD6 and I'm still in the 36.60s!

@Kay00 exciting that OH is onboard for going private 💕

Neighbour's 12 year old girl asked me yesterday if she could please babysit my babies 😭

@MissC07 all I can say it she’s going to have a hectic 2 years with 2 that close in age! But i know what you mean! I’ve been asked a few times whey haven’t you two got kids yets, one day I might tell them about how hard it is just to shut them up 😂

@minipilling my AF always starts like that I’m afraid, normally for a day or 2

@Cams50 thank you, it feels better this morning but I still have a golf ball for an ankle!

I has a slight temp rise this morning, my temps are much lower than last cycle. I tried to whole taking my temp 15 mins after I’d been up and moving to see if it made much difference...it went down to 36.26 🤔

@Kay00 that’s brilliant that your OH is supportive of going private! Great to have a plan in please. And it’s good you’re speaking to your gp again in a few weeks. Oh I hope your OH’s insurance covered going private. Or at least the tests. That would be amazing.

@ChinChilly glad you managed to hobble around the park 🤣 hope your ankle is feeling better today.

@Sperr 12dpo is much earlier than 17 so hopefully you’re still in with a chance this cycle 🤞🏻

@Gracie2021 thanks Gracie. I think the small white lie is the right thing to do as the tests and appointments can take so long that you’d definitely be past the year by then anyway. But hopefully it doesn’t come to that for you x

@MissC07 sorry you’ve had a tough day. Wow a baby in May and pregnant again is quick. I’ve been trying since before May and no luck. I totally get it. Pregnancy announcements are so hard. I don’t want to be jealous but I want it so much for myself! And there seems to be babies on every tv programme when ttc like @TheDaydreamBelievers said.

@Moocher90 glad you’ve got a plan in place and it’s great that you’re feeling positive.

@minipilling sorry about AF if it does turn into full AF.

@Kay00 yeah i'm expecting it to turn into my period to be honest! feel pretty miserable but just taking it easy x

Hi @minipilling 😔😔😔 this is usually how my period starts. I get shooting day or two of the pinkish spotting then darker clotting before full flow.

And the spotting x

Hi everyone, tough day with cramping and nausea and now my period has arrived bang on schedule... I think? Usually I get bright red bleeding to start but instead have pinkish brown sticky stuff. This has been the heaviest of it on tissue when I wipe, the rest so far is faint.

Bit of a 'blergh' day for me today. Found out one of our friends who had a baby in May is now 4 months preg with her second.... I am really happy for them , but it doesn't get any easier. Especially when you get the 'aren't you guys having kids anytime soon....'
On the small upside, my OH found choc orange twirls at the shop!! Which are really rare around here 😂 But we've given up choc for lent so only 41 days until we can eat them! 😂😂

@Moocher90 sometimes I think if I hadn’t of started taking it again I’d atleast be pregnant now or even have a baby...so frustrating

@ChinChilly same I wish once I came off the injection I didn’t go on mini pill for 5 months at least then it would nearly be 1 year!

@Moocher90 you sound like you’re in a great mindset! If you’re both happy with going private and can afford it...definitely go for it!

@Kay00 i know what you mean about mopped floors, we’ve got white and grey tiles in the hallway and they are a nightmare to keep clean with the dog! Good news you’re both up for private!

@Gracie2021 I’ve told my GP a white lie there aswell I told them I stopped taking the pill April/May not too much of a lie as i stopped towards the end of June.

I soooooo wish when i stopped taking the pill over 2 years ago i had just stayed off it 🙄

@Kay00 that's fantastic news. Great to be on the same page.

Got locked out of the app all day for some reason so missed it all.

@firsttimemummy321 @abi555 definite lines on both for me. Fingers crossed ye both see darker tomorrow 🤞

@Cams50 sorry to hear it wasn't this month for you. Hope you've enjoyed a nice treat day. Think you're dead right to do whatever you have to to get assurance. I'm planning to tell a small white lie at ten months of nothing happening and pretend it's twelve to kick off referrals etc as it takes such a long time to get appointments/testing etc. sounds like you're on the ball and for what you'd get that sounds like a great deal.

@Sperr here's hoping it was just a late ovulation. Good indicator to be moving back towards your pre pill normal rhythm either way.

@ChinChilly would love to see cross hairs for you tomorrow and the coverage would be great. Hope the ankle isn't bothering you too much. It's so easy to do.

@moocher90 im glad you're seeing someone soon. I really hope they provide the care you need xx

@chinchilly Hehe well done. I took my dogs for a walk around the streets... it was a but rubbish for them, but I had just cleaned through and mopped the floors and didn't fancy letting my doggos get muddy 😆

@cams50 I just broached the idea of the private fertility clinic with my OH... I think its a go-er! 😁😁😁

@chinchilly I can’t let anything defeat me!! If me and DH work together then we will get there! I have already said to him I will be going private if the endo decides to not do anything at all and I will also book some tests privately for me to get the ball rolling. Private fertility clinics offer thyroid meds and also can start me on clomid. It won’t be cheap but if it means I can start actually ovulating and be in with a shot of pregnancy I will do what I have to do to achieve it

@Cams50 I managed to hobble around the park so he could relieve his bowels 😂 we have a biggish garden he just likes to go on his walk 😂

@Kay00 OH Private care package might be a good shout.

@Moocher90 good you’re getting things moving, hopefully your endo is more helpful on the 24th!

So my DH spoke to GP today and asked for a SA to be done and it sounds like they will refer him. I’m sure he is fine but I guess if it isn’t then it’s going to take even longer then expected to TTC as I need to sort my thyroid out and actually ovulate otherwise I’m going to need help to ovulate regularly :/. I really hope the endo sees sense when I speak to them next week
