Post Pill Party - The Ceilidh

@Cams50 @Kay00 I would only be 12dpo now 🙃. I reckon I wasn’t ovulating when I was having 28 day cycles! I did remember when I was younger that I had long cycles so I was pretty surprised. I definitely want to bring ovulation sooner though.

@cams50 im not sure if GP would prescribe clomid... I'd like it if she did. My temporary GP specialises in female fertility so I'm keen to have a chat with her. I will be reporting back to her in 3 x weeks ref my FODMAP diet and how that has been going, so ill bring up my lack of/irregular ovulation.

If she wants me to wait until I'm a year into trying before referring me (local trust rules are a year of trying until aged 36+... and I will turn 36 just when I have been off the pill for a year in June/July), then I'm going to go private.

I'm also going to check my OH's private health care package which he pays for through work. He says its got bells and whistles on it... so maybe any investigations would be covered??

Chart attached for good measure. Pretty sure my body had another Estrogen surge/failed attempt at ovulation last week and it has petered out. Meh!

@Kay00 yeah that sounds like a good plan. I wonder would clomid or something help with the ovulation. Would your gp proscribe that or do you have to be referred to a specialist I wonder. Or hopefully the fodmap diet might help. Maybe you’ll notice a difference next cycle when that’s had time to kick in more. I think I need to bite the bullet and go for these tests. I’m nervous but it is actually a good deal that covers everything for quicker than the nhs and not that expensive. Just gets expensive when it comes to the ivf but one step at a time I guess!

@ChinChilly ah that’s good then. Hopefully they go up tomorrow and then you’re covered! Poo protest 😂 aw well you’ve got to rest it. Hope it feels better quickly.

@Kay00 ahh good idea!! I just tried it and it gave me this. Fingers crossed that gives me a good shot at -1 & -2 from O. I can’t believe it I’m so clumsy! I walk the dog on the evenings when OH is on nights and I’m not sure I’ll be able to so he’ll just sit there staring at me all night and go on poo protest! Ffs

@Cams50 @Kay00 if you can both get deals like that at a private clinic it might be worth thinking about...seems like good value!

@sperr no way! 😔😔😔 I hope its just too early for you xx

@cams50 im very tempted to do the same. A clinic near me does a similar deal for £550. Im going to wait out this cycle first, talk to my doctor and see what she suggests then book to go private if nhs won't help out. Im not even that focused on getting pregnant at the mo... I just want to ovulate!!

@chinchilly hopefully its a fall back rise. If you put in a high temp tomorrow does it give you crosshairs? Sorry to hear about your ankle 😢 good excuse to stay indoors on this rainy day 😉

@firsttimemummy321 hopefully just a slow rise xx keep testing every few days, I have my fingers crossed for you xx

@Cams50 If I ovulate today I’ll be out this cycle as we haven’t DTD for a few days because of OH shifts! I’m not sure if my bodys had another go and failed again 🤔 I’m not sure what happened with the OPKs after yesterday morning as I ran out of OPKs so didn’t test again

@ChinChilly thanks! Oh no your poor ankle. Your temp could still go up in the next few days particularly as you had a positive opk over a few days so maybe you’ll ovulate today and see the rise tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

@Sperr nooo so frustrating. If you did ovulate CD17 how many dpo would you be now? Maybe you’re just too really for testing in that case.

Ugh frustrating and confusing bodies. I just want us all to get our bfps like now. Is that really too much too much to ask 😂😫

@Sperr sorry about the BFN! Definitely get yourself that tub of biscoff!

@laurat94 ooo wedding twin! We’ve got our ceremony booked for that date too after rearranging. I don’t know how hopeful I am though fingers crossed the ‘roadmap’ gives some ideas on Monday

@abi555 congratulations 🥳

BFN from me! Ugh I hate my body so much!!! I just don’t understand where my AF is! My cervix is so high that I can’t feel it now which has never happened to me.

I don’t think I ovulated when I thought i I did. I think my big dip in temp on cycle day 22 was actually my ovulation- even though I had no EWCM or any other symptoms. Luckily I did DTD on that day just in case. I guess I will just have to see what happens over the next days. Annoyingly I didn’t take my temp this morning.

I’m glad I spoke to my GP and arranged to have blood tests (when AF eventually decides to show). I am definitely going to be taking soy isoflavones next cycle to bring my ovulation sooner.

Off to go eat a tub of biscoff spread now 😂

@Juno231 ah manifest the pregnancy why hadn’t I thought of that!

@Cams50 sorry AF got you, I always feel like that on the first day of AF.

@abi555 I can’t see anything on the first pic I’m afriad, I definitely can on the second post but I’m not sure it I would trust it after 2 hours, but then again it is pink rather than grey 🤔 I’m just skeptical becaue I always seem to get evaps.

@firsttimemummy321 I’m sorry, that must be really frustrating.

@LauraT94 hoping this is O for you.

Well my temp went down abit so god knows whats going on here!

I hadn’t been out of bed for 5 mins when my ankle went from under me FFS! Currently sat with an ice pack on it and a coffee 🙄

@abi555 @LauraT94 @firsttimemummy321 thank you ❤️

@LauraT94 I hope this is your ovulation!

@firsttimemummy321 gah sorry you’re still in limbo! I can a line but I don’t know why it’s not getting darker. Very confusing. Hope you’re doing ok and fingers crossed it’s just the HCG developing slowly or something xxx

So I’ve just gone mad and emailed two private fertility clinics asking for more information. I know we need to try longer but it’s so difficult. It’ll be a year in April. We can’t get IVF on the NHS where we live anyway so I could waiting months/year to have all the checks done on the NHS when I found a local clinic that does a SA, hycosy etc for £550. I’m just considering getting the tests done for now. Ugh feeling so down about it today 😭 I know it’s just because it’s day 1 of AF

My morning confusion 🙈 been like this since weds 😭

@LauraT94
My charts always looked like that before ovulation 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Juno231 of course! Manifesting is what we all missed 🙈 surely she should now be given a Nobel prize everyone will be pregnant first try after that 😂

@Cams50 aw no I'm sorry af has arrived :(

@Kay00 and @Sperr 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@LauraT94 that's really interesting to read - thanks so much. I had no idea about baseline HCG levels but it makes sense and explains why there can be such differences with early testing results

@Cams50 I'm so sorry, was so hopeful for you this month. Enjoy all the naughty things and take care of yourself. And good news about your longer LP for future cycles at least!

An 'update' on me... Erratic temps again?! 😩 Or ovulation is coming?!

All the physical signs are there! I've got lots of fertile fluid, cervix was high soft and open when I checked first thing this morning, higher sex drive... But OPKs are negative 🤔

Back to the old 'wait and see' but I'll be absolutely amazed if this is O at this early stage of my cycle! Like, astounded...

Sorry for the big catch up but you guys have been chatty since yesterday morning 😂

@Sperr I'm excited to see how you get on with testing!

@Kay00 SHOW cervix sounds like an exciting step in the right direction! I have that too today... My body is confusing me!!

@Flowers222 I think I'm the same as you with needing to obsess over the data, I can't not temp now!

@TheDaydreamBelievers the meme you shared made me giggle especially as I was watching The Walking Dead last night and was caught by surprise when Glenn and Maggie get an ultrasound in the middle of the fucking apocalypse?! 😂 Luckily it was so bizarre I could kind of laugh it off! But totally the last program you'd expect it haha!

@Juno231 sorry that the baby announcements got to you ❤️

@abi555 @Gracie2021 @Cams50 I'm joining team 'cancelled wedding' due to Covid! So rubbish. We're trying again May 15th... 🤞🏻 was originally may last year!

Gonna completely ignore all the holiday chat because 😩😩😩😩

@Flowers222 although camping in the garden sounds doable... 😂

@Cams50 I'm so sorry AF got you ❤️ I was feeling really positive for you!

@abi555 I saw this old thread the other day but potentially it's just a slower HCG rise for you if it's a later implantation?! Can definitely see the line on the (first) second pic you put now, and obviously it's bold as anything in the latest one! 🥳

@abi555 I saw something in that second pic in your first post and in that second post it’s so strong! If it helps, I looked at my bfn yesterday after a few hours and I can assure you it stayed as a stark white bfn 😂 congrats!!

@Juno231 ffs if only I’d manifested it! Could’ve saved myself 10 months of trying.

So I started bleeding this morning 😭 I had big time gotten my hopes up. Making it to 11dpo is a huge deal for me so I know I need to be happy with that but it never gets any easier. This was my best chart and my temps are high so I didn’t expect it. I was even making plans if when I’d test again 😒 but my temps will come down in a few days when full AF comes I’m sure. Onto month 11. I don’t even know how we’re going to sort this SA as they haven’t gotten back to us and they’re so far away etc. Anyway I’m going to treat myself to a day of bad food, caffeine and alcohol before trying to be good starts again tomorrow.

@abi555 eeeeek how exciting!! Hope you have something to keep you busy today and make it go quickly!!!

Eeek, I've done the thing they tell you not to and looked at it again 2 hours later and it looks like this now, but is obvs v old now! Thanks ladies, appreciate all views as know its a real squinter and to be honest with lines that faint they may just disappear over next few days anyway. Must control excitement until tomorrow morning!

@abi555 eek!! I see a line... and that's through my sleep encrusted eye lashes 😆 I'm not able to see whether it has colour though. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞🤞

@jun231 me furiously googleing how to manifest a baby 😆😆

@abi555
That looks positive to me!! I've been getting faint lines for days and that's darker than any of mine 😍

Aaaaah, I hate that it's not a definite BFP/BFN either way as the photos to be fair don't show it as well. There was a definite line by 20mins past but I'm trying to discount that as it says read at 3 mins and I think first response might give evap lines? I'm 13dpo and temp went up again this morning. Pretty certain if it is that didn't implant until 11dpo as had bad cramping then. Don't know what to think! Would you trust a definite line at 20mins after testing or assume that is evap? Hurry up tomorrow morning haha!

@Juno231 wow!! So that's were we've all been going wrong we need to be manifesting!!! I love selling sunset but seriously 😂

@Sperr 😂😂😂 To be honest that sounds like something I'd pay for 😂😂😂

@abi555 I've literally just woken up so my eyes are still a bit fuzzy. I think I can see a faint shadow at the top of the second pic. How many dpo are you? How was your temp this morn?

@abi555 I'm awake!

I'm really sorry though, I don't think I can see a second line. I think I can maybe see a shadow of something in the second pic? Sorry I know that's definitely not the answer you want!

Hopefully someone else comes along and can see it ❤️

How many dpo are you?
